EEGLAKDTG BE mm wm: mam AND . ma (mam BY mm}? swam A despatch from London says:â€" “Britain to Canada by airship in less than 80 hours." In ,,__L This idea was held out, almoum somewhat nebulously perhaps, at Fri day afternoon’s sitting of the Eco nomic Conference. A... -...,_M Sir Samuel Hoare, British Minister of Air Services. had been outlining to the Conference the proposed Burney airship service between London and Cairo and on to India. , Then Col. Amery, First Lord of the Admiralty, drew a picture of the giant airships of the future. He thought the airship had reached the stage when its success was assured. By taking the extreme northern circle track it could shorten the actual dis- tance to Canada. Airships could be turned out almost with the rapidity of automobiles. Germans, he observed, had during the war constructed Zep- pelins in ten weeks. ‘ H .1“ Col. Amery’s remarks were made during a somewhat desultory discus- sion, in which Hon. George P. Graham observed that Canada at present was not much interested in the lighterâ€" than-air craft. especially as under the proposed Cairo service Canada would not be affected. The South African delegates point- ed out that they were more intrested in aeroplane development, particular- ly in View of the extent to which the aeroplane is being used for patrol work in their country. The discussion had two developments: First. the ap- pointment of a committee of the Con- ference“ to consider the details of the Burney scheme, and, second, the gen- eral agreement that it was desirable to create some machinery whereby the experience of Great Britain and the Dominions in air transportation could Forty-Six Mills in Dominion â€"80 Per Cent. Produced in Quebec. A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Canada uses about $102,000,000 worth of manufactured cotton textiles during a year, and of this nearly $54,000,000 are manufactured Within the Province of Quebec, which is credited with 80 per cent. of the entire Canadian pro- duction in 1921. This is one of the outstanding facts in a bulletin just issued by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- stistics on the manufacture of cotton textiles in 1921. CANADA USES LARGE OUTPUT OF TEXTILES the United States and the importance of that country in this industry is real- ized. Exports of cotton textile pro- ducts in 1921 totalled $1,051,905. of which $389,831 went to the United States, $154,344 to Britain and $507,- 709 to other countries. The ascendancy of Quebec in this industry is found not in the number, but in the size of its mills. For ex- ample, those producing cotton yarns and cloth are by far the most import- ant in the industry, their production for all Canada being valued at $65,â€" 978,596 in 1921, of which $50,095,832 is credited to Quebec and only $10,- 610,662 to Ontario, although that Province has as many mills as has Quebec. The capital invested in these Quebec cotton yarns and cloth mills is put at $48,827,000 out of a total of a little less than $66,000,000 for all the provinces. In the industry there are 46 plants in all Cangda, of which 21 are in Quebec, 20 in Ontario and the other five in the Maritime Provinces, four of them being credited to New Bruns- wick. In 1921 they employed 15,823 persons, paid $12,142,000 in wages, used $38,454,816 in materials and turned out $71,200,176 of products. Plain That the cotton textiles industry has to meet keen competition is evident from the fact that over $28,000,000 of manufactured goods were imported in 1921, the partly manufactured am- ounting to nearly $4,000,000. It is interesting to note that of these two classes of goods $16,890,359 came from the United States, $12,560,000 from Britain and $2,837,567 from other countries. Add to this the nearly $18,- 500,000 of raw‘cotton imported from A despatch from Ottawa says :â€" Nearly three and a half million marks in postage were necessary in sending a plain post card received by the De- partment of Trade and Commerce from Germany. Seventeen stamps were used, almost obliterating the ad- dress and the message. The total Canadian production of these industries in that year was $71,- 200,000 while the value of these manu- factured and partly manufactured products brought in from other coun- tries was $32,288,000. In addition there was also imported $13,953,000 of raw cotton, all but $103,275 of which came from the United States.

The steady progress in air transiti was described by Sir Samuel Hoare, Minister of the Air, to the Imperial Economic Conference. He empha- sized in particular the intention of} the British Government to conclude a‘ contract for an airship service to Egypt and India, under the scheme drawn up by Commander Burney, and he informed the Dominion representa- ‘ tives that. their co-operation would be *. welcomed if they desired to offer it. Airship development, Sir Samuel :1 explained, had been suspended by the British Government since August, 2 1921, and it had now only a few mili- -‘tary air-ships left over from the war, 5' stored in their hangars. But it real- 7‘ iZed that the time had come to take .; up airship work on commercial lines. oxplaine: British 1921, an tary air , Commander Burney, in his scheme, will proceed by three stages. First, he will produce an airship able to reach India in 100 flying hours, and will experiment with that between England and Egypt. Secondly, he will establish a weekly service to In- dia, and, thirdly, he will make the ser- vice bi-WGckly, and keep six ships of 5,000,000 cubic feet actually in com- mission. Even if a service is estab- lished only as far as Egypt, it will mean a considerable saving in time in the carriage of mails and passengers between London and Australia. Lon- don to Cairo would be negotiated, it is reckoned. in two instead of from three and a half to six days, and when the service is extended to India the present 14% days would be cut down to five. As for Australia, London to Perth now takes 28 days, and by airship it should need only 11 days.

Joseph’ Gibbons and D. M. Goudy of Toronto,| and William H. Duncan of Midland,} Ont., were appointed on the Nomina-i tions Committee, and Mayor Alfred; Maguire and Wm. A.

In adâ€" dition, for the greater convenience of the holders, the Minister has now .made special arrangements with the 'chartered banks for the payment of I the bonds without charge. The banks have received instruc- itions as to the form of endorsement irequired from holders of registered lbonds. In the case of these, as well las bearer securities, payment is made lonly on the surrender of the bonds Other Canadian delegates present are: Thomas McQueen, Controller W. W. Hiltz, Toronto, and D. I. White, J12, Midland, Ont. Twenty- two Wis- consin and Great Lakes cities are rep- resented among the 100 delegates present. The conference is called by the Great Lakes Harbor Association, which was permanently organized at the meeting. BANKS MAY PAY OFF DOMINION 1923 BONDS Conversion Into Cash is Ar- ranged for by Rt. Hon. W. S. Fielding. A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Holders of 1923 bonds who have not yet exercised their option of conver- sion into the 1928 or 1943 refunding issue may have their bonds paid off in cash through any branch of any chartered bank in Canada, it was an- nounced on Friday by Rt. Hon. W. S. Fielding, Minister of Finance. It is urged by the Minister that it will facilitate settlement promptly at date of maturity if, when dealing through a bank, the holders will de- liver their bonds for examination and listing as early as possible before November 1. Correspondingly, if bonds are presented to a bank on or after November 1, holders must be prepared to avvait payrnent for a fevv days.
