War and unemployinen are two of its unfortunate offspring, yet we traiiiiot lay the blame alto- gether on science. Rather have these unfortunate developments bee the abuse of science. Greed out} cupidity have taken advantage t scientific knowledge. Many critics declare that science must be slowe down. Yet this is impossible, con- tinued Prof. McKiel. Rather inustl science be guided into the social channels of life. The future can be faced with hope and assurance. when science becomes more socializ- ed. He showed how the exploita- tion and deveio ment of our great Canadian North ands nitist depend on science for a successful solution of its future problem of exhausted mineral resources. Then labor will have to be absorbed by some other industry. A thorough study should begin now that we tnav be ensured. of a happy future in our land.

Live Stock Figures Increases in all the principal spe- cies of livestock on Canadian farms are noted in an official report ls- sued November 1, 1940, on the i040 June survey of farm animals. The greatest increase occurred in the number of hogs which ieached a record of nearly 5.9 million head, a gain of 37 per oent, over the 1939 June estimate of 4,294,000. Cattle on farms, estimated a 8,500,006 head, showed a one per oerit in» crease on 1939. This is the first increase in the numbers of cattle on farms at June sine 1934. For the second year in succes- sion, numbers of horses on farms at June 1 were higher than in the former year, namely, 2,858,000, an increase of 34,000 on the 2,824,000 estimated at June, i939. Sheep, estimated at 8.452900, showed an increase of 05.000 over the number at June, i939. Hens and chickens increased from 58.5 million to 60.2 million which is the larg- est number since 1931.

He said Mr. King at that time, had agreed with him. Mr. King said his statement yesterday had attempted to show what was ood about the war sit- uation an what was bad about it, without emphasizing either. He had attempted to meet in everv. way the terms of Mr. Hanson's re- quest for a statement on inter- national affairs. Mr. Hanson had referred earlier today to the Philadelphia speech . W. Brocklngton, a special as- sistant to the Minister. Since the Conservative House Leader had quoted from an ex- change of correspondence between himself (Mr. Hanson), and Mr. King said he presumed Mr. Hanson did not re- gard it as confidential. Mr. Hanson wrote that he al- sumed Mr. Brockington spoke in l personal capacity. Yet today, the Prime Minister said, Mr. Hanson had approached the subject front the point of Mr. Brockingtons close association with the Prime Minister and would have the House believe the Philadelphia speech was a result of that close associa- tion. This was in spite of assur- ances both by Mr. Brockington and himself as to the significance of the Philadelphia speech. Yet today Mr. Hanson had sug- gested Mr. Brockinptows remarks about Canada and the United states agreeing to defend each other. were the result of having "dined too well." Hanson, said the Prime Minister made this suggestion though he kntv Mr. Brockington to be "one of the most abatem- lcus of men." Mr. King suggested that Mr. Hanson sometimes spoke without fully realizing the importance of his words.
