Giant Among Grain Elevators
to Stand at Lakes Head
The world's largest elevator, accord -
Ing to its builders, is now being erect-
ed at Port Arthur, Lake Saperim.
The directors of the Saskatchewan co-
operative wheat pool recently awarded
a contract for the superstructure of
Terminal 7, which will have a total
capacity of 6,900,000 bushels, and
should be ready for operation on Oct.
15. Reinforced concrete is the ma-
terial used in construction,
The completion of the terminal will
give the Saskatchewan co-operative
wheat pool a total storage space of
22,975,000 bushels at the head of the
lakes, which, together with a 2,000,-
' 000 -bushel terminal elevator at Buf-
falo and the space provided by the
pool's country elevator system in
Saskatchewan, will give a total grain
storage capacity of more than 50,-
000,000 bushels for the 1928-9 crop
year.
The new elevator is on the Lake
Superior front, near the boundary be-
tween the cities of Port Arthur and
Fort William. It will be served by
both the Canadian National and the
Canadian Pacific railways, and will
be able to receive as ninny as 500 cars
of grain a day during the rush sea-
son. Its normal working capacity will
be 300 cars every ten -hoar day—a car
every two minutes—and it will be able
to ship out and load grain into ships
at the rate of 150,000 bushels an hour.
The workhouse itself will have a
storage capacity of 900,000 bushels of
grain, and there will be two annexes
with a capacity of 3,000,000 bushels
each- In one of these annexes equip-
ment will be installed for unloading
grain from vessels moored to the ele-
vator dock, while the workhouse will
be equipped with nine shipping spouts.
The rapid handling of grain will be
facilitated by the use of eleven 150,-
000 -pound scales, twenty receiving
cleaners - in addition to thirty-two
other cleaners of various kinds, and
twenty-three belt conveyers, with a
total length of more than 34,000 feet.
The cleaners will handle 6,0000 bush-
els an hour, and the drier which will
be installed will dry 1,000 bushels of
grain an hour when necessary.
The total length of Terminal 7 will
be 1,344 feet and the width 226 feet
The elevator trackage will provide
space for 225 loaded cars to be "spot-
ted" at one time, ready for dumping.

Professor1 Says Renaissance
Has Become Great Moral
Force in India
Bombay.—Tbe first gift of the Eng,
lish of India was universal peace or
freedom from foreign invasion and
internal disorder, observed Prot Jodu
scholar, who is the Vice -Chancellor oi
Calcutta University, in a lecture he
gave recently .
The speaker added: "The English
have admitted us to the entire outside
world; not only in Asia, but in all
other continents as well; and they
have admitted the rest of the, world
to us in a degree not dreamt of under
Moslem rule. India has now been
switched on to the main currents of
the great moving world outside and
made to vibrate with every economic
or cultural change there. An isolated
life is no longer possible even for our
remotest villages."
"It is, therefore," continued Prof.
Sarkar, "of peculiar advantage to us
that in this age of world -forces our
official language is English and that
it has diffused itself all over India as
the medium of trading and political
and cultural correspondence. No
and other European language has the
world-wide currency of English, or is
used by such a large proportion of
the human race. And English litera-
ture is the richest in the world on
account of its own original works as
Amateur Writers well as the translations from all other
languages in almost every broach of
thought."
The greatest gift of the English be-
sides universal peace and the mod-
ernization of society—and indeed the
direct result of these two. forces—is
the renaissance which marked our
nineteenth century. Modern India
owes everything to it, literature, edu-
cation, thought, and art; but in the
last generation it became a moral
force and reformed our society and
religion; still later, in the third gen-
eration from its commencement, it
has led to the beginning of the eco-
nomic modernization of Ilia," con-
cluded the Vice -Chancellor.

Communism is the native growth of
reactionary sell; it is the scraggy and
spiky bush that grows up under the
political conditions of dictatorship of
an elaborate police and spy system,
of exile and political prosecution and
persecution. Communism in Russia is
czardo.m with the victims on the seats
of authority, using both Cheka and
Siberia for their own purposes. As
the responsible Government settles
down to handle the practical prob-
lems of administration it departs
from this, but the irresponsible re-
volutionary high priests of Communist
doctrines who control the Third In-
ternational have abandoned no delu-
sions which possessed them when
they overthrew the Russian Govern-
ment ten years ago.
This origin of Russian Communism
goes down to the roots. Democracy
and it cannot go together. When its
ballot boxes and press and courts of
justice are open. it may continue its
name. but its spirit and its methods
will have changed.
