A despatch from Paris says.—
France's reply to tho •Italo-Spanish
Mediterranean alliance is a 'proposal
for a'Franco-British aerial and naval

The inspired Temps -answers Reu-
ter's semi-official statement from Lon-
don sources that Germany is arming
and recruiting troops by stating that
there is no danger of the Reich' be-
coming a military menace for a long
time. 4....
But the suggested Italo-Spanish;
pact might threaten the French com-
munications with African colonies and
the British lines of transport to India
via Gibraltar and Suez..
France 'deep not ask, and 'does not
need military aid on the Continent.
The Temps • states, as the "French

how important is the selection of suit-
able material for construction pur-
poses.
The Mines Branch of the Dept, of
Mlnes-is giving particular attention to
the various ,:materials entering into
the construction of now roads and the
surfacing of others, Under the direc-
tion of Mr. Howells Frechette, Chief
of the Road Materials.' Division, Mr.
II. Gauthier Is making' a special in-

Quebec and Air. R. I3.'Pitclier is ber-
rying " out a survey of the road ma-
terials adjacent to the highways which
Nova Scotia and New Brunewiek have
included in their. programs for road
5mprovement,.
The laboratories of the Mines
Branch are equipped for complete
physical tests on rocks, sand and
gravel used as road -building material,
as well as for general construction.
Tests in the laboratory are made dor
two purpnses:: to determine' in the
materials tested their characteristic
qualities, and ,:whether they conform
to a previously detetems1 d standard
established by the test of service,
After it has been determined that a
material is datlsfactory, specifications
can be made with- an assurance that
the material specified will meet, ie-

tests' regularly made in the laboratory
upon road -building rock which furnish
a ready means of judging the compar-

The need of tee work which the
Mines Branch is earrying on is evi-
deneed by the statement of Mr, A. W.
Campbell, Chief Commissioner of
Highways, in his annual report for
1922; "Same of the subjects in which
highway engineers are riot agreed,
and in which vesearch is necessary are
the causes of. waving 'of gravel and
bituminous mixtures, of 'cracking' in
Portland and bituminous concrete
pavements, and of the formation of
'cup' holes and pockets in wearing

According`to the same report, road
improvement work in tiie several prov-
inces 'under agreement between the
provinces and Dominion, to be paid
for jointly under the Canada 'High-
ways Act, amounted in value to 327,-
542,466, covering 4,820 miles: Quebec
has a total Iength of roads of 4,500
miles of improved roads out of a total
of ;45,000 miles of roadways in the
province, and has expended thereon
340,000,000, Manitoba, likewise, had
built 3,001 miles of roads to.the stan-
dard required under the Canada High-
ways Act, at an expenditure of $9,-
182,921. Ontario has spent on good
road building during the three years

ties and townships contributed 327,-
528,521 and the province 336,019,780.
The total mileage of .improved roads
in °Uter•io up' to the end of 1922 was.
approximately 28,000 miles or 56,13er
cent. of the total road mileage.
The enormous sums of public' money-
being invested in the: building of high-
ways demands absolute knowledge of
the materials being used, in order that
the invettment'may .be protested. To
provide this assurance the public are

says:
Following his trip to North-
ern Ontario, His Honor Lieu-
tenant -Governor Cockshutt ed -
dressed the Toronto Board of
Trade, ' Some extracts of his
n idress, the views of one so
closely identified olid interested
in the province's development,
give an •idea, to the potential,
value of the resources of the
northern district.
"In the north, there are im-
mens8 possibilitiesin developed
and undeveloped mineral, forest,
agricultural ;and 'fishery pre -
ducts, 'and enormous water-
power. In these theta is a po-
tency of almost incalculable
wealth in which, in my opinion,
it ought to be your fixed deter-
mination, as a natural right, to
share. In the meantime you
share in it as a possession; you
share in the responsibilities of
its government; you bear no
small share in the common` res-
ponsibility for the welfare of its
inhabitants and it should follow
• that you• should reasonably
share inrthe commercial advan-
tages incident to.the 'develop -
anent 'of its natural resources,
"1 have said that the develop-
ment of the north has only 'be-
gun. The mineral resources will
no ,doubt bring 1aege capital to
their .developrnent, in the very,
near future and the timber is,
still and will for years, be a
source of much employment and
profit, and , also a large farm,
area, or I should say, twe areas
--one from New Liskeard to
Englehart, extending a long tris-
tan0e from eastto west and one
beyond Matheson to Cochrane,,
which is 'lnrown as the main
Clay Belt, capable of bearing
comfortably hundreds of thou-
sands of tiller's of the soil.
"I have been in the north, And
for myself I have seen some lit-
tle of its treasure. I have faith,
in the north, and I entertain no
doubt whatever that the time is
not far off when a steam rail-
way will reach James Bay to
bear the minerals, the fish pre-
clude, the furs, the timber and
farm produce too,. to the mar-
kets oe South ()aerie,"
