Radio Must Be Improved CHICAGO.â€" A blunt notice thai the Control Over Resources Suggested For Provinces Before Rowell Commission It Is Asked That Dominion Government Should Do Research In Mining, Forestry, Fisheries â€" Provinc'al Governments Having Administration of the Practical Work. WINNIPFX.â€" Before the Domini- on-IVovincial Relations Commission Saturday, two Deputy Ministers sep- arately and consecutively expres;sed the view that the proper function of Iho Dominion Government is to do re.search work in mining, forestry and fisheries in the appropriate depart- ments, and the corresponding depart- ments of Provincial Governments .should have full control and admin- istration of the practical work in each Provincial area. These men, Dr. V. W. Jackson, Deputy Minister of Health and Public Welfare, and K. J. Allen, A.ssi.stant Deputy Minister of Natural Resour- ces, were asked to give their opinion as to means by whicii any overlap- pinfr in the work of these depart- ments might be cut out and economies thus made. Speaking broadly, there had been little overlapping due to collaboralioa and close co-operation between Federal and Manitoba De- partments, but nevertheless serious evils had arisen in some cases be- cause the Dominion was not living up to its responsibilities. Ottawa's Best Service Mr. .-\l!en sai'l that the only places where tlie forestry services of Do- minion ami of Manitoba could con- flict are in the national parks and in the experimental area.s operjvted un- der Federal supervision. Ottawa's Iksl service to all Canada was to conduct research work to prevent sDiead of insect infestations and fun- gus diseases. A recent outbreak in Gaspe Peninsula has still more re- cently appeared in Manitoba. So what happens to forests in Nova Sco- tia or New Brunswick is important to every Province. If stamped out in one locality, it mie-ht rave the for- ests of ail Canada. It was Manito- ba's interest to have it stamped out not in Manitoba, but at the source, so that it would never get to Mani- toba. There was not close collab- oration between the Federal Techni- cal men and the Provincial practical men. The later could, on their Jobs, collect a lot of information to help the Federal men. More work would be done with less money in that way. The Dominion Entomologrlst should make more use of the practical for- ester, he believed. Neglecting the Field As betwicn Federal and Manitoba Fisheries Departments, the Manitoba men feel that Ottawa is neglecting the field Riven it under the constitu- tion. The Province collects all li- cense fees, and suggests regulations to Ottawa, which passes them. The Dominion spends no money. Regula- tions passed by the Dominion because of this set-up differ in every Province. It is a very awkward set-up. 'The Province should occupy the whole field except research, and in the latter department Ottawa is not livinjr up to it.s responsibilities under the present nebulous jurisdiction .set- up," said Mr. Allen. standards of radio programs must be improved b.v law, if necessary â€" was sei'cd upon bioadca-iters of the Unit- <'d Stales Ibis week by Federal Com- loMnications ('â-  iniiilssioni'r tieorge Mcnry Payne.

By ELIZABETH EEDY ! - KEY POSITION: In the new tiade negotiations now going forward be- tween Great Britain and the United States, Canada holds the key position, says the Financial Post. The impend- ing deal, so it is claimed, finds the Dominion in the place ot one who has an option that can be swapped for valuable concessions; practically nothing can be done without this couutry's approval; and Canada will undoubtedly have the final word. Although the new trade pacts in the proposed three-way arrangement may result In no great economic benefits, it is thought that the political effects ot such an agreement will be far- reaching. When tbe Fascist nations see the two richest countries of the world joined as links in an economic chain, they will be obliged to pause and reflect before initiating any ne\.- aggression. Therefore in the long run it Is believed that the coming agree- ment may lend a much-needed stabil- ity to the wavering cause ot world peace. RUSSIAN ELECTION: Nearly 100-, 000,000 people (think ot it)! are ex- pected to cast their ballots next week in the first direct, universal and sec- ret voting ever staged in the U.S.S.R. The election called under the consti- tution of December. l'J3C, will see tho new .supreme legislative body, to be • known as the Supreme Soviet, chosen by the ordinary citizen for the first ' time. Some observers believe that the new democracy Is more apparent than ' real, that Stalin intends still to dom- . inate the political life of the vast nation, including the elections. * It is now twenty years since the . Bolshevist Revolution of 1917. Should 1937 mark the inauguration ot another - era in the Soviet, next week may be- gin the story.

Last week Son Vittorio announces to the world that "war is the quint- essence of beauty" fcnd "bombing ia magnificent sport." Says Vittorio further in describing the Abyssinian* campaisn: "I remember that on* group of horsemen gave me the im- lu-ession of a budding rose as the' bombs fell in their midst. It was ex-. coptioally good fun and they were easy to hit, offered a perfect target.".

SPORT TODAV By KEN EDWARDS ', iii.-^ .-^eries of chats a'^out boxing and the arrival of iack Denipsey in our town the other day I o referee a wrest- Img match seems to Mc a kind of coin- idence. Well, if it's O.K. ith Dempsey, who now recovering â- oiii acute appendi- citis since his trip here, we'll continue a synopsis of official boxing rules or notes on what to do and what not to do in and around a ring. 1. When a contestant is down, his opponent shall retire to the farthest neutral corner and remain there un- til the count is completed. Should he fail to do so, the referee and time- keeper may cease counting until he has so retired. Should a contestant who is down arise before the count of ten is reach- ed and again go down intentionally, without being struck, the referee and timekeeper shall resume the count where it left off. Should a contestant leave the ring during the one minute period between rounds and fail to be in the ring when the gong goes to resume box- ing, tho referee shall count him out, the .same as if he were down. And so folks, until next week, if .â- Mi Baba is still matched around these parts, I'll be back with wrest- ling notes. So long.
