A CALL TO SCOUTS. A rail to Scouts for ir.creasH -r- \ ice during the national crisis was made by Lord Baden-Powell at the annual meeting of the council of 'he a- sociation in Ixmdon. The Scouts, he said, were first in the field on he of the Circ.'t. War to ,-ender help behind the scenes, and the pres- e.it move to service, as the Prince of Wales had said, was not mean*, ti be a mere flash in the pun, but an under- taking "for the duiTUon" of the na- tion's trouble. The Duke <-f Comiaught, president OL the association, sent a messa,? 1 in which he referred to the fact that the v. .rid total of Boy Sc^ut-s win now more tl an 2,070,000. The above paragraph was taken from an English newspaper published in February and wov.'.d seem to indi- cate- lh::t there a--e greater difficulties i- the Old CVjntry than we in Canada appreciate. However, we. know 'hat ;he Scouts will do tneir best to help '..ghten the burden, and in this v.:itU-r the Lone Scouts can help considerably right here in Ontario. "Lone E" was visited a few Jays go by a business ma i from Vienna, Austria, who in the course of conver- sation, ttated th?.t after a tour of Ihe United States nnd Canada he found that the most adverti:ied word on this side of the Atlanta i.i ''Depression."

Therefore Lone Scouts should Keop a smile on their faces and talk not about the hard times, but rather about! the great OPPORTUNITY and the, good season that we are about *.O| enter. WHY IS SCOUTING SO POPULAR?) This question is easily answered! find the two following paragraphs will illustrate the reason. Boy Scouts own no superiority of Race or Creed, Color or T:ngue. Scouting is just as mu.-h designed for the hum'.ile boy from town or country as u in for the l ou of influential parents. Some people quibble about our uniform, but it is designed especially so that all boys, of whatever rank, shall look alike, and therefore all meet on equ.il : oot- ing. WESTERN INDIAN BOY SCOUTS.

McLaren, Professor of Economics at Williams College, in Collaboration with J. J. Gibson. Though still nominally a constitu- 'innal dependency, the Dominion of Canada during the past decac'.e has achieved political and economic inde- pendence. hai taken her place among the select few of the money- lending nation* <-f the world. Between 1921 and 19'JR, Canada produced wealth at a rate which permitted the net export of approximately $800,000,- c'K). Especially significant is the fact that her secondary production, whuh consists largely of manufactures, has more than kept pace with her primary production, which is divided between agriculture, forestry anil mining. Can- ada has been for many years one of the important primary producers of the world; the recent temendous in- crease in the value of her manufac- tures has raised her from obscurity in 1914 to fifth plaoe, in 1928, among the manufacturing nations. and farm lands. Of all the countries of the world Canada stands first in production of nickel and asbestos, se 1 - ond in cobalt, third in gold and silver, fourth in lead and copper, and sixth in zinc. Canadian forests are becom- ing of more importance. Available American lumber has been dwindling rapidly, and the .-vur-increasi'ig le- tr.und for wood pulp arid newsprint should bring forestry to the very fore- front of Dominion industry. Canada's enormous potential production of hydro-electric energy is important fllso, and attracting to the Domin- ion certain industries, such as the Aluminum Corporation, which require great quantities of cheap power. The second of the basic causes for the development of the Dominion is the sturdy pioneer spirit of her people, which has shown itself in the perse- vering opening up of the west and north country, and in the gallant past- war struggle to extricate the nation from a precarious economic position. The careful restriction of immigration can be counted on to preserve the Nor- has sufficient natural wealth to l>ring such an outcome within the realms of possibility, even though its small -i/. in relation to the natural -.%-ealth of the United States would ~ause her never to re<ich the postwar credit pin- nacle of our ri.untry. Such an event- uality, concentrating as it wuM the credit and most of the natural wealth of the world in the western hemi- sphere (for other semi-developed neu- trals like Argentina and Brazil might be expected to profit, also), rcignl bring about the transfer of the finan- cial, cultural and diplomatic centres from one side of the Atlantic to the other. And who can tell but what in that readustment Canada, with her vast natural resources, might not em- erge as one of the great nations of the world?
