Nationalization
Bigg
est
Swindle
LONDON
A
call
to
leaders
of
private
industry
in
Britain
j
for
all
all-out
fight
against
na-
tionaliztion
has
been
issued
by
L.
D.
Gammans,
Conservative
Member
of
Parliament
for
Horn-sey.
Addressing
the
fall
conference
of
the
Institute
of
Directors,
Mr.
Gammans
charged
that
nationalization
was
the
biggest
swindle
foisted
on
the
British
public
since
the
South
Sea
Bubble.
The
trouble,
he
said,
was
that
private
enterprise,
with
a
few
exceptions,
had
tended
to
let
the
fight
go
by
default.
If
industrialists
were
asked
for
information
to
be
brought
out
in
a
debate
on
the
subject,
the
reply
was:
"Oh,
no.
Don't
ask
me.
Try
someone
else."
Mr.
Gammans
suggested
that
too
many
Industries
were
enjoying
controls
and
fixed
prices
with
enormous
advantages
to
those
who
happened
to
be
in
that
industry
back
in
1939.
"Drop
this
ridiculous
pretence
that
industry
has
no
interest
in
politics,"
he
urged.
"Stop
any
attempts
at
feather-tedding.
We
who
represent
the
people
in
Parliament
have
the
rifles,
but
industry
must
have
the
courage
to
give
us
the
bullets."

Feldspar

The

Resources
says
analysis
of
Saskatchewan's
first
major
find
of
feldspar
has
showi
it
to
be
top
quality
for
use
in
the
manufacture
of
pottery
or
glass.
The
samples
were
found
early
this
summer
by
Dr,
J.
B.
Mawds-ley
of
the
University
of
Saskatchewan
during
radioactive
investigation
in
the
Nunn

area,
40

Lac

Saskatchewan.
The
feldspar
deposit
was
In
a
flat-lying
dyke
about
four
feet
thick,
with
about
5000
tons
exposed
at
the
outcrop.
A.
J.
Williams
of
the
provincial

department
said
the
flat
outcrop
would
make
for
easy
quarrying.
However,
the

type
of
feldspar
was
produced
in
South

and
markets

the

output
would
be
