Production, in 1934 was valued at $55,230,381, the highest since 1930, when the output was worth $73,752,673, The products Of this industry find their way to the remotest parts of the world; Norway, Uruguay, Dutch East Indies, Belgian Congo and China are but a few of the * far-flung countries into which. Can- _ adiari exports find their way. During • tljb. year Canadian exports were valu­ ed at $11,990,151 In 1930, Canada was the fifth largest importer of raw rubber in the world, ranking after the United States, the Unlted Klng- Jdom, France and -Germany.

They were . bombarded with letters from cranks, criminals, crack-pots, their privacy was invaded, their liberty vircum- ■riribed. The New York Times relates one Instance of this sort of thing.

Are the members of this group wiser than the bees and bugs and senators? Wouldn’t the country get along more scientifically and naturally if they all went into hibernation?*.

Idea; and of course that idea is at the roots of the laxity of American courts. But also the Idea Is noble that multitudes of decent people should no£ be consider­ ed easy prey by criminals who rob and kidnap and murder; it is prbbably more humane and better that, one per­ son in a . thousand accused may be ‘ punished unjustly by process of law than that crime should seetm to be a tolerable ’safe avenue of exploita­ tion by a comparatively few vicious people among millions of decent ones. There is a further moral which some of our own people might take to heart. Imprisonment is punish­ ment.
