Griffin, Director of the Research De- partment of United Grain Growers Limited, is urging upon the Royal Grain Inquiry Commission, the form- ation of a Wheat Institute to conduct research in uses of Canadian wheat. The immediate purpose of the insti- tute would be to increase Canada's export (rade in wheat. Trade rela- tions would have to be studied, re- search made concerning markets, di- rect advertising done. Sooner or lat- er a market plan for wheat would lead to planned marketing of all oth- er farm preducts. * * * TENSION EASED: Since Britain's commercial recognition last month of Gen. Franco's ascendancy in Spain, tension has gradually been easing off in the civil war crisis there. Three other factors have in the meantime operated to reduce the situation to its quietest since July 1936:--Fran- co's willingness to establish, if he wins the war, a pro-British monarchy in Spain; withdrawal of Russian par- ticipation in the conflict; departure of 20,000 Italian troops from Spain and from the Balearics, a bad dan- ger-spot. It is expected that other powers will shortly rush to recognize Franco, with Japan, Portugal, Aus- tria, Hungary and Poland in the lead. It's all just dandy, except that the poor Spanish Government (Loyalist) is left out in the cold. * * * STATION NEAR POLE: Interest in the potentialities of Canada's Arc- tic areas was given a big lift this summer by Baron Tweedsmuir's tour of the Northwest Territories, and by the penetration into those distant re- gions of ten separate scientific ex- peditions. The secrets of the North have a greater drawing power than ever. Now a proposal comes that the Dominion Government build and station some- where near the centre of the Arctic Archipelago, a headquarters from which expeditions could operate. The Department of Mines and Resources have the matter under consideration leading scientists interested in Arc- tic exploration. The site proposed for the station is on the northern end of Boothia Peninsula, the most nor- therly mainland on the Continent. "Twill come in handy a few years hence when we begin spending our week-ends at the Pole. * * * $1500 INCOME: A survey under- taken in the smaller cities of the Un- ited States reveals that the annual income of the typical American fam- ily is close to $1,500. From $156 to $288 of this goes for rent, the great- er part of the remainder buys food and clothing for the family. The average size of families on relief in nineteen cities ranges from 3.4 to 5.1, while for non-relief families the average is 3.2 to 4.5. Interesting figures, those, from which a number of far-reaching conclusions may be drawn. Colorful sidelight on the story comes from another report, made by a commission of economists and sta- tisticians financed by the U.S. Gov- ernment, which shows: that the po- country amounts to $4,400. There's a tential income of every family in the leakage, somewhere, of $2,900, which certain authorities attribute to eco- nomic waste. * * * FASCISM IN AMERICA: Brazil's fifth Constitution was proclaimed last week by President Vargas, nam- ing himself as Supreme Head of the State with dictatorial powers. The democratic world was startled and a little apprehensive at this manifes- tation of growing Fascism, the estab- lishment of America's first totalitar- jan state. The new decree abolishes Parliament, replacing it with two im- potent, hand-picked bodies which can be jailed or dismissed at will; puts industry, agriculture, commerce, transport and banking under a new corporative "Council of National Eco- nomy'"', also dismissable. The main hope of democratic countries is that the new Brazilian set-up will prove just another dictatorship of the La- tin-American pattern with none of the rampant imperialism of the true Fascist state, (such as Italy and Germany.)

Alex Stewart, of Ailsa Craig, Wins. Title at International Show With Alaska Dac Number 157. CHICAGO. -- Canada retains the world championship for oats this week with the victory of Alex. Stewart of Ailsa Craig, Ont. at the Interna tional Grain and Hay Show here. Stewart won with Alaska Dac No. 157, a variety developed by the On- tario Agricultural College. The sam- ple weighed 47.8 pounds to the bushel. It was the third time since 1920 that a variety other than Victory won and the first time the title went to Eastern Canada. Dominion farmers have tak- en the oats kingship 10 of the 18 times. First Win For Eastern Canada Stewart won the reserve champion- ship in oats last year, placing behind the famous Herman Trelle, of Wemb- ley, Alta. Trelle was forced to retire from the competition this year be: cause of rules limiting one exhibitor 1 to three victories in any class.

"It has been said," he explained, "that curved aquaria make the oc- cupants dizzy physically and lopsid- ed mentally. I don't know about that, but I do know they make me crozs-eyed." The movement has taken the form of the association for the abolitien of round fish bowls, of Wellesley, Mass. Approving the associatien's efforts heartily, Orsinger sald: "Psychologists have ponted out that the round bowls distort a small, harmless fish into a feree'cus deni- zen of the deep, producing a bad ef- fect on children."
