"Unfortunately the books of the railway are kept in such a. way that. other charges are added which brought the bookkeeping loss up to $115 millions, but I would like to make it. clear that. the actual cash loss was $47.5 millions and that. the larger amount is

The penalties will last from a month to six weeks and there will be weekly inspections to make sure that seals governing the throttle have not been tampered with.

With reference to the jailing of Hallowden pranksters at Richmond Hill, Ont, the Ontario Minister of Welfare, Mr. Croll, has reprimand- ed the Council after investigation by his dep- uty, Mr. M. A. Sorsoleil. He said: “Irrepar- able harm to those children may have been done through one special constable's unwisdom and ig- norance. Sorsolcil found some of them still stif- fering from the terror resulting from imprison- ment in a jail with hoboes. Others were inflated with the idea that they had become heroes through their foolish escapade, and subsequent imprisonment and release. In either case, the ef- fect is unfortunate and may well be disastrous." The Minister advised other municipalities that "they need not experience any self-righteous sentiments and say, ‘It couldn’: happen here.’ Let them, rather, impress upon the police and other authorities that such cases will be tolerated by neither municipal or provincial Governments."

Widespread interest has been created by Igpaftfs {plan t; spfread la IACKWOYlC of airlines to t e ar- lung aci ic san s, wiich were for1n- erly German colonies, and now Japanese c011- trolled by League of Nations’ mantlzite. Double interest is manifested because japznfs an- nouncement follows closely on the inauguration of flights between San Francisco and Manila, in the Phillipine Islands, by Pan American Air- ways. The plan, announced in Japan's annual report to the League of Nations, was studied closely also because of the enormous area the islands cover. The mandated territory, compris- ing the Marianne, Caroline and Marshall groups, include 1,400 islands, islets and reefs. They stretch out about 1,300 miles from north to south, and about 2,700 miles from east to west. Experts declare such a system would necessitate extensive construction of airdromes and bases.

Ian Mac- kenzie will have to get together and agree om a story with respect to the ministry's intended defence policy.

For more than a fortnight now the Minister of National Defence has been touring the country and securing considerable applause by announcing the Government's in- tention to construct air defences on the Pacific coast and by hinting at a generally enlarged defence policy.
