F. PULLEN - - - Managing-Editor DAILY EDITION Thursday, February 18, 1937 Cruelty Everywhere When our pet cat catches a mouse and plays with it, torturing the poor thing by allowing it to make a dash, for freedom and then frustrating its hopes time and again until at last it is killed, we think little of it. When we hear of the shrike catching smaller birds and sticking them alive on the thorns of a bush or on the barbs of wire fencing, we look upon it as an interesting freak of nature. So, when the wolf pack suddenly turns and rends one of the older of its members, possibly one who was for merly a leader of the pack, we do not think about its cruelty. When we turn to the insect world and note as we stroll abroad the clever little trap of the ant lion or the spiderahd see some other insect fall into it and be held there until its blood, has been sucked slowly and nothing is.left but the skin of the victim, we note the creature's cunning and cleverness but do not think of its cruelty. Turning then to man, we find him setting traps for the wild animals "ahd'the victims remaining in them helpless, hungry and thirsty for days before the happy end comes, and my lady covers her pretty shoulders with the pelt, never thinking of the cruelty of the trap. Only a few generations ago when men were even more superstitious than they are today they seized on helpless old women and accused them of witchcraft and burned them at the stake and occasionally it was a beautiful young girl, seldom a man, who was the victim. In England not so many years ago men and women were tied to the back of a cart and publicly whipped as they passed through the streets, possibly on their way to J a public execution where the people in thousands made! holiday as they watched the writhing victims. In every country of the world there was unspeakable cruelty and even today men and women, especially women, are cruel to each other envious, bitter, vicious. Ernest Thompson Seton in his books reminds us that all nature is cruel and that the end of every wild thing is a tragedy. There is nothing that corresponds to that of a man or woman dying in bed. Until very recent years we have been willing to tolerate slums in our big cities and even in smaller places, which would put to shame the- animals of the forest. Today we allow unfortunate men arid women to exist on a mere pittance, when all the time there is in the country plenty of food and to spare. The advance of civilization is gradually brintrimr about a fchange but it is slow work. People speak lightly of war as if it were inevitable. They are more ready to spend money on armaments than on efforts to relieve suffering. It is to be hoped that within the next half century we shall find the nations of the world devoting time and effort to improving conditions of life instead of traininrr to kill. In the meantime it is necessary to defend ourselves j against attacks from other nations less advanced thanj ourselves. But at the same time we must deplore the need ! ot such a move and use our eflorts to bring about a better condition throughout the world. a conference of university men of the Empire at Cambridge and an international conference on the world's food supply at St. Andrew's, J bridge twice. He had struck him as a quiet, steady, thoughtful type of man possibly not the mast brilliant, constructive, or far-sighted but a man with whom Britain was safe. Another personality was Rt. Hon. J. Ramsay MacDonald, the former Premier, a cultured and sympathetic gentleman, great 1n his day but now past his best. Rt. Hon. Walter Elliott, the former minister of agriculture, was an individual with whom Dean Clement had, apparently, been particularly impressed. He had been responsible for many progressive policies in national farming. A big raw-boned Scotsman, with a red hose and a smile atl over his face, ' he wis counted upon as a poten tial Prime Minister. Mrs. Elliott was also art outstanding personality. Small, vivacious and bright, when she was on a platform with her husband, the spotlight turned to her. Dean Clement also gave some impressions of the country around Inverness and Culloden Field In Scotland. Some of the farms in that area resembled those to be seen in Canada. Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument were also referred to by the speaker who interpolated his talk with a number of witticisms which he had heard from those he had come in contact with during his trip. Dr. H. N. Brocklesby, president of the club, was in the chair and ex pressed appreciation of the club to Dean Clement for his talk. Guest? were F. A. MacCallum, J. A. Frew. Sergeant J. H.

The average attendance of Cadets for the year was thirty-:ive which was considered to be Scotland, Dean F. M. Clement of ery satisfactory, indicating the ln- the Department of Agriculture of merest of the boys and the capable the University of British Columbia, uy of their instructor. On the com- whosc, first visit It had been to the .lctlon of the new Royal Canadian British Isles, commented upon the solid and' substantial way in which Great Britain went about its business. He had been struck by two things in particular: first, the quiet yet thorough preparation for war and, second, the efforts which were being made to alleviate conditions in the slums of the great cities. The war preparations might be silent and unostentatious but they , were, nevertheless, going ahead ef-! fectively. He had been in England i at the time last summer when 25,-1000 troops were being mobilized ! for Palestine. Had Canada mus-j tered a thousand troops for such a (purpose, the newspapers would probably have been full of it and there would be great talk. In England, however,, there was only a small Item In the press about the 25,000. National, municipal and private funds were being used In reviving construction work by which people were being removed from the tenements of the slums to Individual houses in the open air. The result would, of course, be stronger and healthier physiques. Some Personalities Dean Clement then went on to speak Interestingly of some British personalities with whom he had come in contact. First he mentioned Premier Stanley Baldwin whom he had heard speak at Cam- tfaval Volunteer Reserve biilKIing ,ind. after the summer camp, it is xpecte'd th'.U an increase, in the .lumber of cadets for training may oe desirable. On account of the epidemic of .nfluenza and the reconstruction .1 the naval quarters it had been ound necessary, the report of the commanding officer said, to temporarily suspend the meetings of jea Cadets. It was hoped, however, .hat the building would be completed in the near future after which regular routine could be carried on with added advantage. Lieut. Greenwood suggested that :he summer camp should be revived this year for a period of ten days or two weeks. It was hoped that the parents would co-operate n permitting their boys this diversion. The idea was not so much training but to make the stay in :amp happy and interesting. It was proposed that the camp site should be at Dodge Island In Dodge Cove where there was a government building which could house all the boys, "keeping them warm and jomfortablc. ! Another suggestion made by Lieut. Greenwood was that two suitable young men with cadet or naval training be appointed as sub-lieutenants to assist in dlrcct- ing the activities of the unit. I The report reviewed the activities of the Corps during the past year Including the annual tag day,' the picnic, Remembrance Day parade, the annual Inspection by Lieut. Col. S. D. Johnston, monthly socials and the presentation of, prizes and medals. j Reference was made to the death during the year of Lieut. Robert 31ance, who had been commanding officer for eight or nine years and i a great friend of the Corps. Ilo-j mage had been paid by the boys at the funeral and later Mrs. Blance had addressed the boys, expressing her appreciation. i Chairman's Report The report of the chairman, R. M. Wlnslow, stated there was a to- j tal of ninety-two members in the ', Navy League branch here. Tribute was paid to the late Lieut. Robert , Blance and reference made to the j appointment of Lieut. G. H. Green- j wood as his successor. Praise was expressed for the competent man-! ner in which Lieut. Greenwood and Chief Petty Officer Anslow were carrying on the tralnlne of, the boys, there would be great benefit as a result of the new and larger building.

THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC INDUSTRY Established long before the commercial use of electricity wts even dreamed of, the Dank of Montreal. hit seen the hydro-electric industry rise from its infancy and has provided helpful financial service in every phase of the utilization of water power to industrial and domestic use. With abundant snow and rainfall on the uplands, and ample reservoir capacity in numerous lakes, Canada is fortunate in having it reliable supply of water power within transmission distance of the principal industrial centres. Only one country, the United States, haJ a greater total of hyJro-eltriC development. More than three-quarters of the power equipment used in manufacturing industries in Canada is electric-"driven. Seventy per cent, of Canadian homes, urban and rural, are equipped with this "modern servant." '. Cheap hydro-tlectric power his been an important; factor fr. the rapid development of the mining industries. It has been a deciding factor in the refining of base, (i metals from Canadian mines, which only a few years' ago wal a monopoly of foreign countries. The ose of water power has gone hand .in hand" also with the tx- pansion of the great forest Industries of Canada. The production of hydro-electric power has advance! , steadily since the recovery of 1932 reaching new high, records each year. The per capita output is exceeded only by that of Norway, yet only one-sixth of the known available water power resources of Canada has been utilized. Hydrexlecrric industtiet and their employees all over Canada find in the Dank of Montreal the convenient and helpful banking service they, need.
