YOUNG, OF C. N, RAILWAYS A meeting of the Canadian Clt was held in the Council Chamber o Wednesday eveniug, March 12th. M A. L. Posliff, .the Vice -President, the Club, occupied the chair, arid ti meeting was opened by singlet:- " Canada." The guest of the evening was M ib factor in Canada's future prosperity n as -well as metals, At. the present time r. eighty thousand dollars worth of gas of is being used to get twenty thousand ie dollars worth of oil. Canada's 1)rob- O lem to -day is to find 'some way of stopping this waste. Here, again, the r. need and the importance of scientific research work maybe seen,' "In the pulp and paper industry we have an industry which at one time possessed the greatest producing pow- er of any industry in Canada. By the latest reports, it is now operating at no more than eighty per cent of its capacity. When one considers the a- r- mount of money that has been invest - c ed in that industry, it should be run- ning at its full capacity, and giving 1- employment to a great many more n, 'men." o Only a small part of Canada's area is adapted to agriculture—Quebec, -s southern Ontario, and the southere - part of the prairie provinces. This h part of the country will find its home y market in the other sections of the h country to the east and west The s increasing use of broevri and whole- wheat bread has resulted in the dis- covery that Britain can get along with a'flour made from a third or fourth grade of our western wheat, Canada's future trade in wheat may be at a lower price per bushel for the lower grades of wheat, but it is possible that the profits will be just as great," Fler immense water -power is per- haps Canada's greatest material' as- set. No other nation in the evorld can equal her in this respect, She e has thirt3--two million horse -'power e distributed across the continent, and t. has put more money.into the develop- ment of this power than into any- thing else. However, this is money well and safely invested. Forests do d at times become burnt or cut down, . mines play out, and soils lose their e fertility. But this mighty water pow- er, much of it still undeveloped, is truly Canada's best resource, for pow- er is the heart of all industry." "In the last few years we have gain- ed only slightly in population. Yet, e in spite of this fact, we hear welch - am. bout the unemployment probleIf, d in a young 'country like ours, we corn- - plain of this problem, it entirely e our own fault. If we being too many people into the country, we are sure- ly and certainly going to have no em- s ployment for them, and others also are going to 'be thrown out of work. Some day Canadians are going to re- alize their folly, and immigration will - be restricted in order to overcome this. difficulty." In a few Urelachosen words, Mr. A. Posliff expressed the interest and ap- preciation of the audience, and the meeting was closed by singing "God Save the King." The next meeting of the, Canadian Club will be held in the Council Chamber on Friday e.vening, March the twenty-eighth. Mr, j. S. L. Sim- mons, B.Sc.F., will give an illustrated lecture on "Our Forests." Cyril T. Young, Superintendent 6f Development, of Canadian National Railways, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Mr. Young has travelled extensively throughout Can- ada and other countriee, and, conse- quently; is one who is able to speak with authority on the subject, "Re- sources Development: Canada Fo ward." In delivering his address, th speaker made ese of a large map o CAnade, with charts showing the re ative growth of Canada's populatio production, and various industries t that in other countries of the world. Seldom, if ever, have the membei of the Wingharn Canadian Club lis tened to a lecture so weighty wit vital statistics concerning the countr in which we. live, yet punctuated wit many apt illustrations of a hurnorou nature. Mr, Young gave a very com- prehensive and detailed statement of the assets ,and liabilities of Canada. Some of the'most striking points inn - pressed upon the minds of his hearers are as follows:— "To-day we are living in an age of research, and if there is one thing more than another that looms up as a wonderful new sign in the heavens of the progress of Canada, it' is our recognition of this fact. Take, for in- stance, the importance of research i connection with the necessity for th discovery of a rust -resisting whea Three years ago, when flying over the grain -fields of Manitoba, it was not- iced that, even so high as a mile up in the am the rust -spores gathere thickly on the glass of the plane Clearly then, the only thing to b done is to discover, not a cure for the rust, but a kind of lvheat which will resist rust. Also, Canadians are beginning to insist upon new and bet- ter machinery in their shops and fac- tories. In Canada, we produce som thirteen million, five hundred thous and dollars worth of manufacture products per clay. In order to con tinue and iecrease that output, w must have the very latest inventions of machinery. If obsolete machinery is not scrapped, and new invention. are -not made, then Canada will be unable to maintain her position in the nanufacturing world. The Dominion Government has set aside four mil lion dollars for research, worlc along various fines. Britain is expending a million pounds annually for this pur- pose. She has, no doubt, /earned a lesson from Germany in this respect. It certainly was not entirely the won- derful superiority of her goods thee put Germany in the position of com- mercial supremacy which she enjoyed before the war. It was tile fact that the German Government was ready to encourage any young man who had new ideas or inventions to offer, Can- ada is now interested in research, and is showing that interest in ,a tangible way." "One of our mistakes in Cana& is that we over -produce until supply ex- ceeds demand, and we find no mar- ket for our products, We are a young virile, and whole -hearted peopleand our tendency is to overdo whatever we attempt. We over -;built our rail- ways, we over -produced pine lumber, and. we over pi many farm pro- ducts. This is poor business, and is a fault which may and should be rec- tified."

I was teaching in the back woods of Huron 65 years ago. It is almost 55 years since I was ordained into the ministry of Primitive Metho- dist church on Paisley St., Guelph. Among the pastor charges where Rev. Mr. Wellwood ministered were Collins Bay, near Kingston, St. Cath- arines, Bracebridge, Meaford, Thornbury, Dundalk, Richmond Hill, and Eglinton in Toronto.

The Citizen criticized his action and the action of other Orangemen in vot- ing against the Woodsworth bill con- ferring `juriscliction on the Ontario courts in the matter of divorce, call- ing them "political Orangemen" in the following excerpt from the of- fending editorial: "Political Orangemen, including W. F. Garland of Carleton County, James Arthurs of Parry Sound and George Spotton of North Huron, provided the necessary majarity to defeat the bill." To this Mr. Spotton quite heatedly replied: "I am free to admit I am an Orangemen and am proud of it," Continuing, he denounced the edi- torial and made a further explanation of his vote as foliows 1 strenuously object to the imputation and the im- plication in the sentence: 'Protestant members from Ontario, including some Orangemen on the Conserva- tive side, decided the issue by voting with the Roman Catholic members to defeat the bill.' I was one of those Orangemen who voted and I am pre- pared to vote that way again, regard- less ,of the criticism of any organi- zation, society or newspaper. I am unalterably opposed to making di- vorce any easier to obtain in this country, and I will not change my vote1 claim the privilege of voting with the Roman Catholic members of this House if I see fit to do so. I wish to boldly repeal the implication that an Orangemen cannot register his conviction in a certain line because he is walking hand in hand with men of another faith with the purpose of restraining a great evil in this coun- try. "I am an Orangeman, 'but not a po- litical Orangeman. The Orange Ord- er to which 1 belong asks nothing for itself that it is not willing to give any brother in this Dominion. I am sent here to represent the people of North Huron, not the Ottawa* Citizen nor any wild man from Borneo who ina.y go from Toronto to attend the Grand Lodge of Western Ontario. I arn here to register my convictions as repre- senting the people of North Huron, and not as an Orangenian I am not ashamed of voting hand in hand with the French-Canadians and my Roman Catholic brothers in this House."
