Hale) ARTICLE I The ,writer has just returned front the Imperial Press Conference held in London'throughout the month of June, and followed by a ten days' tour of the British battlefields in Norm- andy, Belgium and Germany,. He at- tended ttended the Conference as one of the seventeen Canadian delegates, 'among whom he was .a representative of the Weekly Press members of the Cana- dian Section of the Union. tIn fulfil- ment of an obligation undertaken , at the time of his ele tion to the dele- gation, he is setting forth to write a series of half':a dozen articles, de- scribing some of the experiences of the visit overseas, and recording some .of the impressions resulting from those experiences: At the outset may I be permitted to say that the Conference and its ancillary functions and tours was a remarkable tribute to the importance and influence ascribed to the Press of the Empire by those in high places. Some of the features ' were unique World famous' war correspondents like Ward Price and ' Ross Munro agreed that never . before had the.

What is the Empire Press Union?' A word as to the Empire Press Union itself. Formed in 1909, on the initiative 'of Sir Harry •Brittain, the Union was auspiciously launched by one of the greateet speeches of one of the greatest of British orators, Lord Rosebery, an the, intervening years five Imperial Press Conferences have been held—in Australia, South Africa and Canada, as well as Bri- tain, the present one being theeixth, All plans had been 'laid for holding the. sixth conference in Canada in 1940; but the war intervened and it was thought desirable that it should be held a,t the' heart of th.e. Empire in order that representative journal- ists from all over. the Commonwealth might become acquainted with condi: tions there at first hand. It may he remarked in paseieg that Sir Harry Brittain, the Wunder of the Union, still takes an active part in its de- liberations and accompanied the Press party through all. their journeyin.gs, standing up to the strain as well as the youngest delegate. The object of the Empire Press Un ion was to bring the chiefs of the Empire Press into close personal re- lation, and to make them acquainted with one another and with the condi- tions and problems of •'their .respec live countries. The' idea of the foun- ders. was that this would tend to cement the -.ties.. f-Empi.res-•and• ahem bership , was implicitly, though not. constitutionally, confined to„ journal- ists' who sympathized with policies leading in that .direction. Latterly; however, -and especially during the war, membership in the Empire Press Union has• conferred practical advaut- ages, and has been .sought by jottrn- aiist"s of varying views on Imperial relations, and there has been a dis- position towards a wide tolerance in this respect. A. couple of the Indian delegates; to . the Sixth Conference, were, for instance, avowed National- ists. Yet by and large, the' Empire' Press Union is stilt a body 'which seeks to promote. -closerf+,relations among the countries of the Empire, and it ie',Believed that its .atmosphere co..rnot fail to, influence even those members . whose journals have not been characterized by sympathy for what they call Imperialism. The Canadian Section,,, TheCanadian s tion of the Em- pire Press Union numbers about 'one hundred newspapers, of which Only- eight nlyeight have been weeklies. It is hop- ed, hoi\ever, that as the Union and its objects_ become .better known, tbere will be a marked increase in the Canadian membership. This is especially desirable 'since the next Imperial Press Conference is to be held- in Canada 'in 1950 or 1951. when leading members 'of the Empire Press will 'be the 'guests of the Press of Canada. -.•In the light, of the high stan- dard set at the recent conference the task' of keepifg up Canada's end is going to be by no means simple or easy. 'The present chairman of the Cana dian, section is Senator Rupert Das res, of the Kingston Whig -Standard, who. was also leader of the Canadian delegation, while the very competent Honorary Secretary is Mr. W. A. Craick, editor of !tutu -stria! Canada. The Canadian delegation numbered seventeen,. of whomthree represent- ed the Weekly- Press and two the Per- iodic Press, • Personnel Of the Conference The Conference was made up of twenty-five' .representatives of the British Press, thirteen from Austra- lia, eight from South Afripa, nine from New Zealand,. four from India, five from the 'West Indies, and one each from Ceylon, Gibraltar, Fiji and Malta, together• with the seventeen from Canada. Among,.the outstanding figures were Sir Keith Murdock, lead- er of the Australian' delegation, and Sir Francis Low. who performed with tactful skill the .delicate task of speaking for the Indian \delegation, among whom there were sharp differ- ences on some subjects. The only woman delegate was Miss Mabel Strickland, who could make the proud boast that during all' the bombing of brave little Malta, her paper, The Times' of Malta, never failed to make its appearance.

'The way seems open to the manu- facture of synthetic fibres with many of the properties of those now obtain- ed only trent anima) material,—such as wool, 'kik -or hair :just as rayon is produced in enormous,` quantities' from the cellulose of wood and other plant life. They will be' so.called "pro- tein fibres." Wool itself is largely protein. Proteins exist in nearly all living things and their molecules are found in long chain -like 'structures suitable for spinning if • theY can be extract- ed. Extraction is one of the major problems of the Department of Agri- culture chemists. For the' past two decades efforts have been made especially in Europe to produce a good synthetic wool. The first success was in Italy in 1935 when a fabric was produced from the casin in skim milk. It looked like wool. Some. Italian army uniform's were made of It. • It' was, however, greatly inferior to natural wool irl almost ev- ery respect. • Chicken Feathers Best' results obtained by govern- cotte, editor Le Canada, Montreal. The Conference was presided over by Col. the Hon. J. J. Astor, proprie- tor of the London Times, a man of kindly charm, infinite patience and un- failing tact, who guided the delibera- tions with `great skill, and at the same' time endeared himself to the wbole membership, Conference Subjects The Conference held formal ses- sibns, during,the coltrse which such subjects were discussed as "The -Free- dom of the Press," "Empire Security," ".'lnter:Enapire Communications, "EM- pire World Policy," etc. In each case the discussion was opened by an ad- dress or addresses from leading auth= orities on the subject. But an outline of some of the opinions expressed and of the impressions they made on the writer must be reserved for future articles; as also ,.anew -ere to the ques- tions that comes from every direc- tion: "How are the British people living?"

All feathers,,, together with ' hoof, horn and hair; contain ' a protein substance known as keratin. Methods of ex tracting :this have been devised at the Western Research. Laboratory in Albany, Cal„ and fibres, have been produced with silk -wool properties. From the same laboratory have come the egg-white fibres. It has not. yet been possible to obtain material. with the strength of natural wool. Like all' synthetic protein material, fabrics spun from the chicken feather or „ egg-white protein tend to lose strength when wet. This was. the greatest defect of the Italian milk - wool, but now there are fair prospects of overcoming this difficulty., . . Similar ;fibres can be made from hoofs or horns. Just as a tip to writ- ers of horror stories—they altib prop- ably can be made from blood and one might picture some future J ucrezia' Di Borgia dancing in a scarlet gown spun from the blood If a mu>"dered,. rival or toyer. But the Department of Agriculture chemists are not,work.._._ ing on this possibility. Work on a wooly -silk fabric is un- derway at the, Department's southern laboratory at New . Orleans. It has been found that spinable proteins can be extracted from peanuts. One dif- ficulty has been the amount of : pig- ment obtained from the dark skins of peanuts, but a method has been developed ;or eliminating' this. One ;of the most abundant proteins in corn is zein; now used in making a substitute for- shellac. Fibres have been spun from zein. at,the''Northern Regional laboratory at .Peoria;.
