With so nnic-li attenllon being paid In Iii'Ha to ihd prospects of federation It wuH naliiral the Viceroy's remarks to the Onlral I.et'lghiture last week •t Calcutia should have been care- fully read by the Indian public. Impatience Arises The Viceroy, llii; Marqui'ss of I..ln- lithgow, who was chairman of the Joint parliamentary committee, re- minded his audience that every one of tbe grounds upon wlilch the federal â- chei:,e is belnfr criticized was consid- ered by that committee.

One wbh that the early establishment of federal rela- tions between the states and British India was of the utmnsl importance for the maiMtenanc'" of the unity of India. The second was that the exist- ence of a c'litinl government capable of furniulaliii;; "•(•onomic policies af- fecting India as a whole was of direct and immediate relevance to India's ecoiinniic circumstances today. The natural forces working for a federation in India are vory great, and I'-ading princes and British Indian partii's hav« acknowledged that a fed- eration at some time will l)o desirable.

THERE AND CANADA Wealth-Producing Purpose Con.struction of liirg:e water stor- age reservoirs in Alberta for use' in irri^c: 'ion schemes and us a source of supply for rivers which course throi^gh Saskatchewan, will be recom- mended to the Dominion Department of Agriculture by the advisory com- mittee on water developinent for Al- berta. The principle of establishing; such reservoirs was di.scussed at a meeting at Medicine Hat recently which was attended by Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act officials from Re- gina. The decision reached waa to recommend the idea to Ottawa. Here we see an opportunity for the Federal authority to develop the great rivers of Western Canada for a wealth-producing purpo.se other than navigation and to assist the West in a way that will correspond to the hundreds of millions spent on river improvements and canals in Kastern Canada. â€" Moose Jaw Times- Herald. Their Names In The Paper Not again is little Johnny or Sis- ter Susie to see their naines in the honor list of their school class in the paper. The department of education has decided against publication, Itiereby destroying by one stroke of the pen a practice that h.as been fol- lowed since the days of Dr. Ryerson. The thought behind the new order of things is to remove competition from amongst the scholars. Why? Is it not good to have a competitive spir- it? Competition is said to be the life of trade, a stimulant to achieve errcater things. If the child has no such motive will there not be a ten- dency to drift, to simply get through the tests, examinations being wiped out, and let it go at that? With com- petition taken away and names with- held from the papers children and parents will miss much that hereto- fore has been a great joy. It looks like a mistake, unless something else is to take its place, say for example, reward for effoirt. â€" Amberstburg Kcho. The First 'Phone .Mayor R. J. Watcrous deserves to 1)0 heartily thanked for his protnpt and vigorous effort to have Rrant- ford, as the home of the telephone, suitably repiescnted in a forth-com- ing movie. That the solution was reached here in 1874 is indisputable on the basis of Graham Bell's own testimony, again most emphatically repeated when he attended tho un- veilinjr of a memorial here in tribute to himself and the great invention. Meanwhile our neighbors have always stuck to Roston as tho place of or- igin, and they hate to let go of that hallucination. At any rate the Mayor has made a commendable effort. â€" IJrantford Kxpositor. Farmer's Right-Hand Man From his own standpoint, it is greatly to the fanner's interest to have a permanent employee, who is intelligent enough to understand his employer's aims and plans, and is wil- ling to co-operate with him in carry- ing them out. The best man, of course, for the fanner to hire is one with a family of his own, because he is least likely to throw up his place for somu trifling cause. â€" Guelph Mercury.

B-D THE EMPIRE The Irish Constitution Ii'ot one jot or tittle of additional liberty is secured to any citizen (by the new Constitution). In fact, it is all tho other way about; for the now Constitution contains clauses which may possibly be used to interfere with freedom of speech, freedom of the press, with freedom of associa- tions, and the rights of women. The Constitution has imposed upon the public the new and costly ofBce of president with powers which the titu- lar head of a democratic state should not be given. It has established a new Seanad which is at least as un- .satisfactory in the method of election as its predecessor was. â€" Irish Inde- pendent. Chinese War Enters New Phase The Chinese managed successfully to defay the Japanese advance for three months, and now, with long lines of communication to be guarded by the Japanese, comes the much- awaited opportunity of guerilla war- faro on the part of the Chinese â€" sudden, sharp attacks and withdraw- als, by an enterprising force, never leaving tho enemy in peace, keeping him guessing where the next attack will be launched. It is clear that China will be able to get arms, de- spite the repeated bombings of the railways. Madame Chiang Kai-shek recently spoke of 500 of the latest type of fighter planes and bombers which could outfight and outdistance any that Japan can send, and it is a well known fact that in the interior provinces there are arsenals which are working day and night to supply small arm ammunition. These depots can never be reached by the Japanese and they know it is useless for them to even attempt to do so. Japan can never stop ahese supplies from reach- ing the Chinese armies, and there is little doubt that much is coming through other avenues, both south and west. â€" Hong Kong News.

Planet Is Rushing Toward The Earth But No Danger of Collision Says Toronto Astronomer A planet, 20 miles in diameter, is rushing towards the earth at 20 miles per second. A collision might easily wipe out a city the size of Toronto. Let no ono bo afraid. Tho end of the world is not at hand. Prpf. C. A. Chant of Dunlap observatory, who made these observations. Is equally sure there will be no collision. The planet Etob, be said, will be within 20,000,000 miles of the earth this week, but there Is no danger of It totting any nearer. Still 20,000,000 IVIiles Away Pro). Chant speaks of 20,000,000 miles as being "close". According to ar,tronomlcal records, Eros has been as near as 14,000,000 miles. 'Even if It did collide with this planet. It would not mean the end of the world," Prof. Chant stated. "It would be a major catastrophe. You cpD Imagine the effect of a chunk of rock that size travelling at 20 miles a becond.

"New Menace to Peace" PARIS. â€" Threats to peace would increase, not diminish, if Germany were given the colonial territories claimed by Chancellor Hitler, a group of French military and political leaders declared this week in an ap- peal to "all the living forces of the nation," issued through the Colonial Institute. "It is not well enough known," tho statement said, "that the installation of Germany in lands she Is asking for, by providing her wih military, naval and air bases, would create a new menace to peace, far from facilitating the maintenance of peace."

History's Biggest Air Raid HENDAYK. Frauco-Spauish Fron- tier. â€" More than 400 Italian and Ger- man warplanes bombarded Govern- ment lines and villages across the en- tire Tcruol front last week-end, loy- alists reported, in a merciless attempt to blast a path for Generalissimo Francisco Franco's recapture of the city. It was believed to constitute the biggest air raid in aviation history. The planes, dropping bombs by the tens of tons, spread death and des- truction without pause from 9 a.m. until nightfall, the Spanish (loyalist) Press Agency reported from Alfam- bra, northeast of the almost shattered city of Teruel.

Slated to be held in Toronto on July SOth, 81st, and August 1st of this year, prslimlnary organisation work has resulted in the selsotlon by ths Canadian Corps As- soeoiation Council of a Board of Di- rectors to handle the affairs of the function. The "candid camera" cauffht the directors nt a recent meet- ing while they discu.ssc(l some of the problems which arise from the con- centration of considorablv o\ er n hundred thousuiul i len in oi.a s.iot for three days. Well-Known Military Men Seen in the picture, from left to right, are Art Bushell, Dominion Pre- sident of the Canadian Pensioners' .Association, and erstwhile aerucant of tho Original Third Battalion, C.E.F. Next in line is I.t.-Col. (Jcorjce I{. Phily, M.D., now Associate Coroner for the City of Toroi\to, and one of tho first medical men in the Domin- ion of Canada to volunteer for war service. A "Westerner" sits on Colonel Philp's left in the person of Colonel Charles I{. Hill, who commenced his military service as a private, and finished up as Colonel, D.S.O. Wielding the "bitr stcik" â€" in this case a pencil â€" sits Major Gordon l)in«lr. President of the board and of the Canadian Corps .Association, ."x "il Comptroller of the Mav ;y Har- •'i (.o-ipany. Kr!i«itin;» orijjinn'ly with (lie Qticsn's Own Kiflcs at the I'lfc of si.vtcen, he was a sergeant at nineteen. Number five is Major Hugh C. Fer- Kuson, D.S.O. Joining the 6th Bat- talion in 1911 he served in Prance with the 10th Battalion, of which he was second in command at the end of the war. In Characteriatic Attitudo Major T. M. Medlaiid, secretary of the Corps Association and the b^rd of directors, is third from the right. l*ufflnK the ever-present pipe â€" he is acknowledged Canada's cham- pion smoke ring puffer â€" is Captain W. W. Parry, K.C., legal adviser to the Corps, and a prominent Toronto lawyer. Telling the President how the Sap- pers used to it is Frank Barber, a inemher of the Corps Council, for three year;-. President of the Sappers .As;,o;-iation, and entertainment-ar- ranger de luxe. 'Twould seem, be inferred, that our sympathies are sadly misplaced. • • • VIKINGS IN ONTARIO?: A fascin- ating story of past ages is reconstruct- ed by Mr. Philip Oodsell, noted author and Arctfc traveller, who is eure tha# some time during the eleventh cen- tury, four hundred years before the advent of Christopher Columbus, the Viking followers of Eric the Red pene- trated into Northern Ontario by way of Hudson Straits and the Albany River. Substantiating his belief is the recent discovery near Beardmore, Ont., (125 miles northeast of Port Arthur) of a Norse axe, sword and shield handle which are pronounced by experts to be genuine Viking weap- ons of the eleventh century. The find is of great historical sig- nificance. It may upset all our previ- ous conceptions of how America came to be discovered and change our his- tory books. Says Mr. Godsell: "Beardmore, On- tario, may have been the scene of some woodland fight between these hardy Vikings and the Redmen who for the first time gazed upon the pale- faces who were eventually to bring about their downfall. The Indians > may have looked upon them as Weetl-, goes, cannibal spirits or visitors from another world." Some of the Vikings may have stayed there, too, and become the an-, cestors of our present-day Indians. • • * $1,000,000 A WEEK: Canada's ex- ports to Japan of war materials and . other commodities each week reach a total of one milUiro dollai's ($1,000,- 000). So when Canadian people talk of in- stituting a boycott against Japan they have a hard time gaining a sympa- thetic ear in many quarters. • • « SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE: Rev. Israel Harding Noe, of Memphis, Tenn., who was suspended last week by his Bishop for refusing to break a yearlong fast in the course of which he lost one hundred pounds, liually agreed to let himself be fed orange juice. His diet fo. the two weeks previous had consisted of a commun- ion wafer and a few ounces of water. Rev. Noe has every intention of re- turning to the self-imposed fast just as soon as he recovers from his pres- ent setback in health brought on by the flu. The eccentric Mr. Noe is attempting to prove to the world that man can live by spirit alone, without benefit of material sustenance. EYE FOR AN EYE: When Spanish rebel airplanes bombed and machine- gunned the innocent populace of Bar- celona last week, hundreds of helpless civilians went down to a horrible death, others found themselves alive at the end of the bombardment, but with an arm or a leg missing. Next day, the Loyalist army planes hit back at tho rebels by subjecting one of their cities to the same treat- ment, the same kind of death. From now on, apparently, it's go- ing to be an "eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", until there are no ;iooplo left on Spanish earth to be wiped out. « ' • • ENVIABLE RECORD: The Repub- lic of Argentina achieved in 19;{7 the goal sought but missed by most na- tions throughout the world. It prac- tically eliminated unemployment, re- duced taxes, strengthened its financial position to allay inflation fears, and produced bumper crops that brought higher prices in expanding world mar- kets. • * * CENTRAL EUROPEAN HAVEN: After the Communist revolution iu Russia several thousand white Rus- sians took shelter in the democratic Central European country of Czecho- slovakia and founded permanent homes there; after tho suppression of the Soviet Republic In Hungary fugitives sought sanctuary in Czecho- slovakia; 10,000 liberal-minded Ger- mans and Jews have fled to Czecho- slovakia to escape the power of the Nazis since 1933. Now tho anti-Sem- itic drive begxin by the Rumanian Gov- ernment is threatening to seuij thous- ands of Jews across tho border into Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia, in a precarious sit- uation in Europe, counts Rumania, her ally In the Little Entente, as her best friend. If she now willingly shelters refugees from Rumania, she will be harboring the state enemies of her ally. Building permits issued by 58 cities in Canada during the first eleven months of 1937 totalled $52,042,087 compared with $38,043,527 reported in the period, January-November, 1936.
