Mm Archibald -Speaks- wr -s"v THREAT OF AGGRESSORS AGAIN; BE STRONG 0RPERISH, IS WARNING Treatment by a sensation-seeking Vancouver Province correspondent of a speech made recently in Parliament by H. G. Archibald, M.P. for Skeena, obviously created a false impression of the local member's contribution in debate on Department of National Defence for Air estimates. Mr. Archibald advocated fullest development of resources in time of peace so that the nation might be ready for any contingency. "We know," he said, "that ... . . . tions which are poorer but have , the will to organize will revive and fight again. ... We have to be on our guard If we want to survive . . , the government had better put men to work and keep hem at the work so that wc shall have the skill necessary for the nation ln the next war. If they do not, we are doomed." Hansard reports Mr. Archl- bald .as follows: "I realize that ln discussing such matters as the estimates for air one can become supercritical, especially if he has served ln the air force as a 'Joe' during the war. One thing which Interests me Is how the government arrives at the amount which It allocates for the defence between the army, the navy and of the country through air. There must be some Jockeying around the air force to figure out who Is to get the fair share, because this figure on air defence is given to us by- the entrepreneurs of industry who are willing to allow a certain amount ln taxes, but It has no relationship to the forces which are loose in the world to day. We know, from the works of men like General Homer Lea, who wrote 'The Dav of the Sax- on' and 'The Valor of Ignorance,' and following through to the geopoliticlans, that we are Just ln one of those periods between war; that we shall face another war. In this period we should have total defence, Just as we have had total war; and If we are to carry on with picayune schemes such as this, we shall be caught la the same mad rush as we were at the time of the last war. The working classes are asked to make untold sacrifices and give up all the condi tions for which t,hey have fought ! for years.

ARE TRYING OUT GERMAN ENGINE Interesting Experiment Being Conducted by Canadian' National Railways MONTREAL, Nov. 15 Captured by the First Canadian Railway Operating Group, one of the latest Qerman condenser type locomotives Is bcng sent to Canada for experiments by Canadian National Railways motive powcr engineers, E. R. Battley, chief of motor power and car equipment, C.N.R., said yesterday. The tests will determine If this novel type engine would be practical in Canada. While the design of the locomotive may possibly Suggest some ways by which Canadian engines may be improvecLdhe jnatn feature of interest witlUe the condenser, Mr. Battley atlded. It Is an Invention which carries the steam released In powering the locomotive to the tender and by a turbine driven faig which converts It to water for use again. The Germans claimed tjat the, engine could be operated one mile on a gallon of water but, during the period of operation by the Canadian Army in Europe, the results were not nearly so good. Investigation by the army group revealed that this type engine was first perfected by Herschel and Sons of Kasscl ln 1029. In 1032 the first engine built was sent to Argentina' and later ln the same year one. went to the Soviet Union whlcH now operates 2,000, t With Russian experience the Germans Improved the locomo tive and used it In the" long water-scarce hauls ln the fight against the U.SSJI. More than 250 German locomotives were captured between April 14 'and 27, many of them of, the condenser type. Ordered to operate two lines running from Trielno to Cleve and to Kerchwayiie Shortly alter the Rhine' was crossed In. March the railway group decided to use German equipment because of the prob lem of bringing rolling" sfock across temporary bridges " of the Rhine. ... It Is a decapod 2-10-0 type engine. The tender has a water capacity of 3,500 gallons. It weighs 155 tons. The latest C.N. R. freight locomotive Is a hojth-em 4-8-4 type having a water capacity of 11,600 gallon welifis 330 tons.
