\ APRIL 1o. 194s i-seesa-sasvc-wsm- ‘rheeenate o! the United States recently passed and sent to the White House a bill putting a vim ad valorem tariii duty on mported ‘platinum iox iura or any iox iur ‘which is a mutation or type developed irom silver, black or platinum ioxee. The_87%% ad valcrem duty already applied to silver or black iox iurs but when the 1030 tarlii act was enacted the new platinum iox iurs and muta- tions had hot yet been developed The purpose oi this bill, explained the iinance committee, is to pro- vide the same tariii classliica- lion ior platinum ioxes and plat- inum iox iurs as is provided in the case oi silver or black ioxes and iurs. / Under the regulations there was noduty on type oi iox iur-a cov- ered by this legislation. The House Ways and Means Committee said earlier that 18,410 platinum and white marked iox iurs were Im- ported irom Canada. Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Finland in the iirst hali oi 1947- The value oi these imports was given at $414,038. The situation which brought about the assage oi the above bill was caused by the importation into the United States in the spring oi 1930 o! a consignment oi Norwegian pier.- lnum ioxes. These realized tre- mendous prices at auction, one oi themhaving been sold to i. J. Fox im- s5,000, the world's record ior a iox pelt. The previous auction record was held by the late Charles Dal- ton. who in April oi i910 sold 33 skins at C. M. Lampson a Com- pany's sale in London, one oi which brought £540, equal tnen in Canadian" money to about $2,850.. Rumour states that the buyer rc- scld it to an Austrian dealer ior about 80,000. Other high prices received at auction were £400 and 543° (or. pelts sold by the late James Tupiin and it is no doubt true that Mr- Dalton also received sums equally as high ior quits a number oi pelts. Going back to the Decenmer, i018. sale oi C. M. Larnpson C0,, London, Englpnd, £250 was PI-ld W!‘ a silver consigned by the seal Riv- er Company, Seal River, ‘P.E.I., oi which William Jenkins was the ranch irianager and Ben}. Rogers oi the Rogers Hardware Company. the Secretary-Treasurer. This was the company that purchased a pair oi ioxes irom Charles Dalton in the late iall oi 1012- They were May pups and Mr. Dalton did not want to sell them and warned Messrs. George McDonald, George Auld and ‘t. P. Matcher that they would not breed. Hcweveig. they paid 512.000 ior them, and the next spring they had seven pups.

The collection oi platinum ioxes was slightly below average but nevertheless prices re- mained ilrni compared with our January auction sale. demand be- ing concentrated on the medium and better grades. The next sale oi silver iox will be held May 31st. At a meeting oi the Edmonton Fur Breeders Association ranchci J. Kokolsky was called upon to give an~address.

(s; D9111 Inge reiterates that iriend- ship with England was the comer- stone oi Hitler's policy. The scorn- iul manner oi Der Fuehrer when he met Chamberlain at Munich. and his threats to Ambassador Neville Henderson, do not bear out this supposition. The Dean had been listening to John Gunther, who, in his book “Inside Europe" (i988). took this very superiicial view. Hitler, he says in extenua- tion'possessed himseli oi the" Babs- burg dominions (excepting Hun- gary) with the view oi uniiying Germany: the invasion o! Czecho- slovakia was justiiied by the iact that there were millions oi "Ger- mans in that -unlucky country. “Hitler and his colleagues were a vile gang. but we might have dealt with them. We can never deal with Russia." This latter is only too true. “At present there is only one Great Power in the Old"World, oii- l will not Asia one day have its revenge on Europe?" Japan gambi- ed on ‘a German victory and lost, but Dean Inge is certain that we have not. heard the last oi tnc slogan “Asia ior the Aslatics." 5i- believes too that the Asiatic is a better workman than the EILPOP- can “as the Australian and the" Californian know well." The Yel low Peril is not a military ques tlon and in reality China is more dangerous than Japan. Britain's iorelgn policy/since the end oi Queen Victoria's reign is severely censured. "We have iiriit- ed into danger." asserts British his- torian George Trevelyan, “by an nimost unbroken series oi mistakes in policy since the armistice oi 1918." Dea Inge thinks the mlltdkti. began earlier than that, The world, Mr. Kokolsky has tried this sys- tem ior the past three years and iound it. to be highly satisiactory as to growth, production. and quality oi iur. His advice to all Irasichers is "Feed your animals a diet that is as close to nature as possible." Our comment on Mr- Kokoi- sky's remarks is that there )s nothing new about the use oi -po- tatoes ior ioxes. The Norwelilh-i and Swedes have been ieeding them ior years with gratliylng re- sults. We presume it is the iact that we have so many potatoes here that has led us to indiiier- ence as to their uses. This iall we hope to experiment some but oi course not to go the whole hog until we test out their value. The iollowlng re the conviction oi Fernand DeKuyper appeared in the Globe and. Mail, Toronto, rec- ently. It will be remembered that "Timely Notes" mmented on the lneiioctiveness oi his- remedy ior the treatment oi distemper short- ly aiter it was put on the market. Mr. DeKuyper soon aiter made a trip to the Province, addressed meetings and sold quits a large amount oi his "remedy." Evident- ly the Magistrate in Toronto did not agree with his claims ior it. Aiter a three-day trial, Fa-nand DeKuyper, Toronto dog iancier and proprietor oi Samson Periect Pro- ducts, Yonge St, was convicted by Magistrate T- S. Elmore recently oi advertising claims ior a dis- temper remedy not based on ade- quate and proper tests. He willbe sentenced on Wednesday. The charge was the iii-st in some years brought against an individual by the Department oi National Health at Ottawa. During the hearing. a number oi dog owners and mink and iox breeders irom Hamilton, Aliiston and other Ontario points testiiied as to the eiiiciency oi the Samson Distemper Remedy ior ioxes and mink, advertised in the September, i047. issue oi the ,I"ur Trade Jour- nal oi Canada. Peter R. L. Charles. advertising executive, told the court that‘ in February, 1048, he accompanied DeKuyper to the Ontario Agricul- tural College at Guelph where they leit samples _oi the remedy with Dr. Arnold H. Kennedy. l-le said Dr. Kennedy leit them with the impression that tests would be made. "But you have no knowledge oi any tests actually being s?" asked Magistrate Elmore. ' o.“ "Well, thathall we are concern- ed with," remarked the court. Mr. DeKuyper said he came to Canada. in 1028 as representative oi a. French chemical iirm.

Re started experi- ments on a remedy ior distemper in i088 with his own ‘kennel oi irmn 20 to 50 dogs. he said. in convicting him, Magistrate Elmore said he did not believe that accused made any real tests oi the remedy, much less adequate ones "There is no known curs ice dis» temper in animals,” be‘ said.

"Now we have lost command oi the sea, we have inuoduced conscription and closed our doors, thus inviting the world's hostility when we are no longer in a posi» tlo to deiy it." (it seems to the present writer that England's de- clension is clue to a lack oi iaitn in herseli and in her destiny; and this is in turn due to a lack oi’ interest in spiritual things. Theie is an inevitable late ior all as .tions that iorget God.— Psalm 0. i7.) -, "England," says a quotation irom clarendom, “should keep entire in her own hands the means oi esti [mating her own obligations. Con-e ‘what may she should promise too little rather than too much." Here Dean Inge is getting back to his idea that British policy has hem astray ior a long time‘ and tic makes out a good case. The lolly oi promising assistance to Poland. (a country always at the mercy oi Germany. or Russia, or both). can- not be exaggerated. “It is part it our incorrigible sentimentality (not oi hypocrisy, as our neighbors any) that we again and again iall lv- love with some distant underdog whom we cannot protect and who will probably bite us as soon as e has a chance." There is something in that. Poland and Yugoslavia are no iriends oi Britain today. The two Great Wars have been called the greatest calamity that. has ever beiallen the human race and Britain has been the chiei sui ierer, says the Dean. “England ca: never be a continental power," said Napoleon, "and in the attempt will‘ be ruined." Yet we like to pose as the schoolmistress or the policeman o! Europe: the birch or the trun- oheon are not in our hands, and our attitude does not make is popular, asserts the realist cleric. Turning to home politics. lie finds that Plato's “Republic" is no guide ior a practical statesman; but one thing he sees clearly. “The power oi’ the purse must not be en- trusted to those who will use i‘- to ieather their own nests." He s almost tired oi hearing that "Pow er is always abused"; but agrees that abuses are likely to be most mischievous when the old constitu- tional maxim. "No taxation with- out representation" is most flag- rantly disregarded. Democracy has (reed itseli irom its salutary checks and balances and now stands re- vealed as government by mast. iberyl “The largest bribers will u ally be in power." Then Dean Inge sums up: A Tory Government could only exist by oiierlng “milk and water socialism." while as ior the Liberals, the pittiul rump oi a great party. nobody knows what they stand ior and they do not know themselves. There is no lack oi apologists ior what is going on as Frederic the Great said: I tairs what I want, ior I can always iind pedants to prove my rights." (To be continued). LACK OF FAITH? In the reign oi Queen Victoria. there was an oicograph. greatly favored by her subjects and iound on the wall oi many a rustic cot- tage. Its subject was ‘me good Queen herseli, handing a Bible to an Arricsn chiei who knelt to xe- ceive it. The legend had it that the chiei had asked what was the secret oi England's greatness. and the Monarch had replied by pre- senting him with a Bible. Whethei the episode" was actual, oi merely an allegory, matters not: as long es England had faith in the Su- preme Power that rules all things. and believed herself to be His ser- vant, she prospered. What oi to- day? ' There is a British organization, called "Mass Observation." which recently questioned 500 people in a semi-urban Borough oi London. i‘o the iirst question, "Do you believe there is a Godil", one man in 3. and one woman in 5. expressed deilnite doubt. Question: ‘Is there liie alter death?” Oi those with secondary education, 66 per cent believed there is, but. only 41 per cent oi those with elementary edu- cation answered in the aiiirmatlve.
