‘THE SINGAPORE BASE

"fllgslngulpore Base and P105- Clems oi the Paciiic" was the cub- fject oi an address delivered xe- : cently infllorontcnby Mk. Sam HI!‘- ins, president of the NW1‘ Mew for carious. Mr. H8111! takes issue Iwith the paclfists and idealist-s and flnternatlonallsts who are eeser to Ihave the ui-itlsll umpire dieeriiied fin the presence oi a heavily armed Zwcrld. He talked oi the necessities "or Japan and oi an able end viriie _ page cooped up in compll-TBUVQIY I barren islands which are uneqiifll 1° fthe support of a. vast and rapid-ll’ ; growing population. In the course §o1 his address Mr. Harris made j this reference to the Singapore plo- 1 ject: E "what is the Singapore base? : Where is it located? why is it net- Eessary to Britain? Singapore is a ~ British naval base, located on the nslond oi slngspore. at the tie 0i fthe Straits Settlements. _It ls the T gateway oi the trade o! the East. {It is the only place except Japan 3 where large ships, pllItlclfllirIy bat- J? tleships, may be docked and repair- ;' ed or overhauled east oi Malta. The Z construction of it cost Britain over i ss0,0001000. Why is lt necessary? m I normal times every week Britain Z imports from this district 6,000,000 I tons of food, valued at; between f iorty and fifty million dollars. and " 20,000,000 tons oi raw material to i run hel- workshops in Brita-in, val- ‘ ued at thirty-five to ility million Fdollars. Every day there are on 1 these thousands oi miles oi trade Z routes about 1,500 ships for Britain l and there are another 1.500 ships Q loading and unloading ill harbors. 1t is a conservative estimate that 3 there is an average floating value i in this sphere oi between iour and l live billion dollars. At any given j-moment, at this moment, there is ‘. between $800,000,000 and $1,000,000,- i 000 oi British trade afloat east oi Ethe Suez, practically all 0i which imay be termed within the Singa- 1 pore sphere of influence. "Ii Britain did not possess. any {other territory than in that area, ' she would still be an Empire. She gets from thereSQB per cent. oi her tea, 97 per cent Jute, 96 per cent zinc. ore, 9 per cent rubber, 80 per cent wool, 77 per cent hemp, 03 per cent rice, 57 per cent tin, 52 per cent cheese, 48 per cent butter, also huge supplies oi irozen meats, and many, many other necessary com- modities. venom/s trade n that sphere is about $30,000,000 per year. It is the business oi the navy to protect this, and it must be pro- tected . . . Itisnotneoessaryto tell you that Canada is interested in this sphere. she certainly is, at least to the extent oi her trade and the protection oi her Pacific coasts! cities. Are we prepared to recognize and assume our responsibilities?” Towards the close, Mr. Harris . argued that we should, i! only from Aha selfish Canadian standpoint, gain with Great. Britain and strengthen the Empire, "im- i1 peace and Justice are to prevail it will be only through the unbroken might and strength of the British Empire, and this is only posibls through the unbroken might. and strength oi the British navy." Since the war Great Britain has scaled Ldown her armaments on land, at: _ sea. and in the air, isr past the danger point. She has labored as- siduously to prevail upon other na- tions to follow suit. In spits oi her eflcrts. the United States, Japan, lfrurlce, Italy and other notions are prming up to the limits oi the Lon- don-Washington treaties. 11in un- / equal parallel cannot be endured very much looser.

British Columbia seed stock was forwarded to Java, Honghong. Honolulu, and Brazil, while small quantities 1mm the Maritime Provinces were shipped to Mexico and South Africa. Atotaloiimoilaaaesoitianad- ien seed potatoes passed field in- spection in 1003 for certification, the seed crop amounting to approx- imately 8,184,400 bushels as iollows: Green Jidountain, 1,852,000; Irish Cobbler, 1,300,000; NswYorker, 225,- 000; Bliss Triumph, 175,000; Netted Gem, 40,000; Early Ohio, 17,000; Garnet Chili, 6,000; Spelding Rose, 3,000; other varieties, 45,000 bushels. Oi the 18,002 sores passed Ior oer- t-ification. 11,287 acres were in Prince Edward Island; 8,021 in New Brunswic‘ , 1,609 in Ontario; 1,181 in Quebec; 428 in Nova Scott»; 850 in Saskatchewan; 854 in Manitoba; 228 in British Columbia; 108 in A1- bsits. Slightly over one million bus- hels oi certified potato seed was ex- ‘ported during i933, according to the report o! the botany department oi the Department oi Agriculture at ottows.

Prince Edward Island's claim to being the banner potato producing Province o! the Dominion will be seen to be iully substantiated by the foregoing iigures oi certified acre- age.

‘THE DILLINGER MENACE

‘Phousazlds oi men, including local policemen and ofllcers oi the Unit- ed States department oi justice. are on the man-hunt after the desper- ado Dillinger and his gang. ‘Ihe attorney-general States, Mr. Homer Cummings, has come back irom the iuneral oi a federal oilicel- killed several days ago in Wisconsin by the gang. "I am in rather a depressed mood." says Mr. Cummings and he adds: ‘Those who expected the campaign against organised crime would be easily won were those who did not realize the situation."

Probably, comments the Ven- couver Province, the man-hunt sitar Dillinger will get its man. and make an end of him. Mort oi these bad men come to the same bad end at last. But that will not be "stamp- ing out crime.” What avail can it be to end one Dillinger, when two 13111111801’! spring up to take his place? The Dillingers are the price the people oi the United Btatm are paying for their own nulliiioation oi their own law, for the corruption oi politics, ior the continued holding oi the delusion, on the grand scale, that “easy money is all right li you can get away with it." It is not the end oi a Dillinger so much which shows that it can't be got awsy with. But it is the existence oi the 131111118"! which cusht to show the nation that it can't be got away with.

It seems that most of our boasts about what we have done are pretty futile. And I hope that. when men and women who live a thcus- and years in the future will. when they look bark, have more to boast about regarding progress ilTlil kind- liness and humanity than we have today. Perhaps it is just. as well for our reputation that the wise old prophets were unable to prophesy how the race in this year o: 1934 was going to tum out.

Ever since the world began there has been set upon everything we need, or enjoy, a valuation. Mostly this valuation has been expressed in terms oi some iorm oi exchange or money. But what sort oi a val- uation can one place upon a sun- set, for instance, or upon a sight oi Niagara Falls, or a. trip through the Rocky Mountains. or a two weeks’ vacation at the seashore or an ev- ening at the tiheatle? Life's great- est valuations are made in the mind and heart oi the one who most appreciates and understands.

To Seek Northwest Passage

(Exchange)

Soon the cold snows oi the Arctic may give up more o! their secrets. Flor lvir. Francis Posse. a young British explorer, who has previous- ly sailed in the research ships Dis- covery and William Scolesby, has planned to pierce the Northwest Passage. and to sail ior the first time in history right round the icy continent.

In order to gain this end Mr. Peuse's expedition will winter in the north magnetic pole area, and his 80-t0n Brlxham trawler has had to be made specially strong to en- able her to withstand the rigors oi the Arctic winter.

The expedition will make geologi- cal investigations in the Canadian archipelago, which is believed to be rich in mineral deposits, and will also locate suitable landing grounds for potential airports. It is also planned to chart unexplored land and sound uncharted sees. Through- out the journey Mr. Pease intends to make a. comprehensive cinemat ographical record oi the Journey.
