Easgle’s View of Rio for Cruise Members
ot flying nor rolling down to Rio but leisurely sailing there aboard a luxury liner will go a happy crowd of winter cruise tour- ists next January when the Can- adian Pacific HNner Empress of Australia heads south from New York January 15 on a West In- dies and South America cruise, The glamorous Latin city that was named Rio de Janeiro be- causo its harbor was discovered in the month of January and mis- taken for the mouth of a river claims that the harbor {s_ the world’s tiost beautiful. Certainly other ports would have to show much to rival this claim, and there is hardly a doubt that the Empress of Australia’s cruise pas-
sengers will return confirmed “Rio fans,”
From the heights of the lofty Corcovado, 2 mountain peak on which stands a huge figure of Christ, and from the summit of Pao d’Assucar, the famed “Sugar Loaf,” members of shore excur- sions will have an eagle’s eye view of the city and harbor. Thrilling in itself is the ascent of the Sugar Loaf by aerial cable- car in two rides, first to the half- way. station on Penedo de Urca, then to the summit of the conical Sugar Loaf itself,
Besides these two excursions there are other trips arranged for the five-day visit. The lovely mountainous region of Tijuca and the mountain residential section
of Petropolis will be the objects of excursions and each evening there will be a party excursion to enjoy the exotic night-life.
Rio is not the only port of call on this cruise, Barbados, Grenada end Jamaica are islands that will bo visited during the 32 day trip, while on the mainland of South Amcrica, La Gunira, Venezuela, will share with Rio the attentions of the Empress of Australia’s passengers who will be back in New York on February 17.
Pictured above are the Theatra Municipal at Rio, a view.of Bata- fogo Bay from the Corcovado showing the Sugar Loaf, the ca- ble-car ascending the latter, and the Empress of Australia, the cruise ship that will visit Rio,

Testing Time F or Radio
Much is likely to be heard at the pending session of Parliament on the subject of the problems of radio broadcasting in Canada and the policies pursued by the infant Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Born in September, 1936, the C.B.C, has been operating now for over © year and it is now possible to discern to some extent the direction in which it is trending and to compare its announced objectives when it was organized with its achievements to date, and there is every indication that. this will be done when members of Parliament get an opportunity to over-| haul the system and review first year policies and practices.
That there will be conflicting viewpoints and wide variations of opinions as to the success or otherwise of nationalized broadcasting as prac- | tised under the new management is a foregone conclusion; and this is to be expected when it is remembered that the tastes and opinions of the | “customers” differ tremendously, not only in different parts of the country, | but within the confines of every community and even in the same houschold.
a a 4 a To Canyass All Phases
In the overhauling process all phases of Canadian radio broadcasting are destined to come under review, including choice and quality and range of programs, the sources of programs and their effect on the promotion and| development of Canadian talent, the revenues and expenditures of the Cana- dian Broadcasting Corporation, the question of competition with other ad- vertising media and generally, the future of radio broadcasting in this, country. |
During the discussions likely to cnsue frequent references will un-! doubtedly be made to the avowed objectives of nationalized radio broadcast- ing in this country, broadly outlined in a recent issue of the Financial Post as: “(1) To develop purely Canadian programmes of high standard which would stem Americanization of the air in Canada; and (2) To extend radio | facilities to all parts of the country.” |
If the Financial Post has correctly diagnosed these objectives they will) unquestionably be used as yardsticks to measure the corporation's achieve- | ments to date.
Some Progress Noted
With respect to the latter there will be general agreement that some progress has been made in extension of radio facilities with all parts of the country as the ultimate objective, whether or not there is unanimity with respect to details. Physical facilities have been extended on money bor- rowed from the government and revenue from the $2 license fee exacted, in theory at least, from all radio users and additional extensions are pro-| jected. But the other objective, that of building up a Canadian repertoire of} programs with all-Canadian talent as its backbone is destined to prove aj bone of contention. No matter to what extent radio users do or do not wel-| come the recent introduction of American broadcasts over C.B.C, facilities, | a good deal of criticism of this policy is already in evidence and is con- strued in some quarters as a departure from one of the two principal ob- jectives of the Canadian national system. ws *
%
Dissatisfaction Voiced
Testimony to dissatisfaction on this score, both on economic and) patriotic grounds, is forthcoming in articles in two of the most powerful Eastern publications in issues published on the same date. The Financial | Post and (Toronto) Saturday Night sharply assailed this excursion into| American territory for programs for Canadian consumption. In effect they | point out that this is a reversal of public policy and state that the Ameri-| can contracts not only result in the weakening of Canadian magazines and} daily and weekly newspapers by the diversion of advertising revenue from | these media to the radio system but also weaken “the bulwarks of national unity in this country.”
Pointing out that contracts have been signed with American adver- tisers for programs designed to yield the C.B.C. a revenue of $600,000 for this year, the Financial Post says: .
“Not only does such a proposition defeat the very purpose for which this expensive national system was created but it constitutes a direct subsidy to one form of advertising at the expense of other forms. For the C.B.C. could not offer the bargain rates at which this time is being sold unless it were backed by the public purse. And, furthermore, the money heing spent by American broadcasters will be diverted (in part at least) from other forms of advertising, such as Canadian national publications, newspapers and magazines—publications which not only give employment
to Canadians but which are the national bulwarks of unity in this country.” us *% qe ue
Diversion Of Revenue
In similar vein on the same subject Saturday Night declared, in part: | “Among the advertising media which are directly and seriously affected are both the national periodicals and the daily and weekly newspaper press. There is only a certain amount of money available for nation-wide adver- tising in Canada and the sum thus diverted into the channel of the Cana- dian Broadcasting Corporation's system will come largely out of the sum which would otherwise be expended with these periodicals . .. the transfer; of this advertising to another medium involves a definite weakening of the editorial contents of all the affected Canadian periodicals.”
These and other aspects of the national radio problem make it clear that the time has arrived when there should he a stock taking: and future policies carefully’ and clearly defined.

“The Story of Its, Finding and Position To-day”
By PRATT KUHN
The reclaiming processes to be applied in later years when more buildings will be put up, will treat the used cyan‘de and remains which are stored in barrels on a big dump. Another development will be a foun- dry to melt down the scrap metals, iron particularly, which has collect- ed by perhaps thousands of tons, be- cause it costs real money to get iron away up to Flin Flon.
One foundry cn the plant premises does nothing but make steel base- halls for the ball crushers and stores them in pyramids outside to be used, worn down to dust, reclaimed, and so on and so on,
While walking round the outside of the smelters I was marvelling, however the engineers knew where everything was, so back we went to the chief engineer's offices and he showed me the intricate blue prints of every move made since the mine began. Personally, being so ignor- ant of mining, I guess I'd try to go

no chance, you're checked and double-checked all the time and have to report out, or else they don't blast. Rather uncomfortable thought at that. and lkely to pin your ears back or worse—playing around in a mine when they're blasting.
Well, here we've been below, and above. and around Flin Flen but there's lots I’ve left out. For in- stance the wonderful el:ctric control plant where the power arrives from Island Falls and is distributed to do all its work of hauling trains, run- ing elevators, lighting the works and the town, running .fans, etc.
The big complete wood working plant where they make everything, and men are constantly making lad- ders for mine use.
Machine shops, repair works, etc.
But I want to get to the human clement. How are such a lot of husky men happ'ly employed and
how do they relieve the tedium of}
living so far away from city lights,
First of all its fair to say that, even including the high executives, most of the men are an adaptable lot, and perhaps come from towns and farms, nearly 1.000 from Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Then life is easier. It’s reduced to its essentials of food, enough clothing and a comfortable place to sleep.
Men make good money but don’t squander it much. If they’re married their home buying uses the surplus. If they're not, much money goes} back to the old folk on farms where| times are not so good or where they, need that cash.
But the company are more than fair—they are wonderful employers.

I talked to quite a few of the men fhd they thought it a swell idea. A paper, now nearing seven years old, “The Bulletin”, is issued monthly, which tells just what the welfare committee hag done.
Then there’s the Community Club, around which practically all social activities revolve, because it has a membership of 1,225 employees and S80 townspeople. A fee of 50 cents a month or $5.00 yearly is charged, ! but women and children are con- sidered members though they pay no fee.

TO EASE PAIN
The speed with which “Aspirin” tablets act in relieving the distressing symp- toms of colds and accompanying sore throat is utterly amazing... and the trealment is simple and pleasant. This is all you do. Crush and dissolve three “Aspirin” tablets in one-third glass of water. Then gargle with this mixture twice, holding your head well back. This medicinal gargle will act almost like a local anesthetic on the sore, irri- tated membrane of your throat. Pain cases promptly; rawness is relieved. You will say it is remarkable. And the few cents it costs effects a big saving over expensive “throat gargles” and strong medicines, @ “Aspirin” tablets are made in Can- ‘yada. “Aspirin” is the registered trade- mark of the Bayer Company, Limited, of Windsor, Ontario.

being what he very much wished to do. He was at a Jgssas to how, grace- fully, to elude the ministrations of Sloat, until he remembered what he was supposed to be.
He said, with a touch of sternness,
“Where is my pepper?”
“Your pepper, sir?” said Sloat. He was a long, wan, young man with spaniel eyes.
“My pepper,” repeated Ernest. “Were you not told that I must have pepper as soon as I get up?”
“Why, no sir,”’ bleated Sloat. ‘I’m sorry.”
“Fetch it at once.”
“Did you say ‘pepper’ or ‘paper’, sir?”
“Pepper. I need it to make me sneeze. I have to sneeze at least three times before I can start the day. It clears my mind.”
“Very good, sir,” said Sloat and fared forth in quest of the pepper. As soon as he had gone, Ernest jumped out of bed, locked the door, sprinted through his ablutions and was half dressed before a perplexed and pepper-laden Sloat returned from the remote pantry. ,
“Yes, m'lud.”
“Also, if I remember the Latin they drubbed into me at school (and ‘I probably don’t)—‘Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in_illis'—meaning ‘Clothes do not make the man,so one must not judge a book by its bind- ing’, Do you follow me, Crump, or am I alone?”
“I see your point, m‘lud.”
“No more clucks, then.”
“Not a cluck, m’lud.”’
However, on returning kitchen, Crump remarked cook.
“We live and learn, Mrs. Feather- by, we live and learn. Millionaire he may be, but between you and me and that egg-heater did you ever hear of a millionaire who darned his own socks? This person who calls him- self Bingley does,”
“Perhaps,” returned Mrs. Feather- by, “that’s why he is a millionaire.”

Sloat threw back his head and from his pale throat emerged a sound which was a scared but un- mistakable yodel.
“Very good,” said Ernest.
“Now shall I show you down to the breakfast room, sir?” asked Sloat, hopefully.
“What day is to-day?”
“Thursday, sir,’

“Heaven help us all,” exclaimed the. cook, “one of them noodists!”’

“What would you like to do to- day, Ernest?” he inquired. “Bit of beagling, perhaps? Or would you care to help me drag the moat? Good sport, that. One turns up no end of oddities, Last time I did it I found a razor, a book on archery, a tooth and a medieval stag-horn but- ton.”
“Thank you, sir,” said’ Ernest, ‘but to-day I think I'll just browse about,”
“Browse it is, then,” said the earl.
“And, really,” Ernest said, “you need not have me on your mind. I can amuse myself. As a matter of fact, I should be asking you what youd like to-do.”
“Drag the moat,” said the earl. “Oh, I’m forgetting. I'm a guest in my own house. Good idea for a farce, what?”
“Excellent,” said Ernest.
“Let’s write it together while you are here,” said the earl. ‘We would call it ‘Castaways in a Castle’ or ‘What a Knight!’ or something zippy like that. Why, they might do it on the cinema, and we'd all be in clover. What do you say, Ernest?”
Before he could say anything, Crump came in bearing a salver.
“The post, m’lud,” he announced.
He had several letters for the earl and one for Ernest.
The earl began to open his at once,
“Dear — gir, he read, aloud, “Stout men everywhere are losing pounds of superfluous flesh a week by wearing Fat-Foe, the new scienti- fic rubber undergarment you hear talked about so much these days in smart society.’ ... Oh, so that s what they talk about in smart society! Fat-Foe! I ask you! What is the em- pire coming to? Fat-Foe!”
He made a ball of the letter and scored a hole-in-one in the fire-place. He opened another letter,
“Ffonored sir’,” he read.

Expansion of Foreign Markets for Canadian Wheat Pressing National Problem, Says Morris W. Wilson.— Urges Reci- procal Trade Agreements to Secure Outlets for Staple Commodities. — Drought Problem Reviewed.

were urged by Morris W. Wilson, President and Managing Director, at the Sixty-ninth Annual Meeting of The Royal Bank of Canada.
Canada was a fortunate country stated Mr. Wilson. The high level of national well-being reached by the phenomenal recovery of 1936 was maintained in 1937 and the activity in most lines of business compared not unfavourably with the record year of 1929.
A tragic exception to the general improvement was experienced in the Prairie Provinces. Obviously the need which exists is acute, the situ- ation could not be handled by the Province, and the Federal Govern- ment is to be commended for having shouldered the greater part of the burden.
The immediate problems created by the drought require emergency measures; but a situation has also been brought to a head which has been unsatisfactory for years and re- quires treatment on a national hasis.
Large areas, ordinarily unsuitable for the purpose, have been planted to grain. Under favourable weather conditions the crop from an area ; equal to that planted in recent years
high level of production attained in 1929, It is estimated that in 1937 the expenditures of the mining indus- try for wages and supplies have been
between $225 and $250 million. Of $300 million paid in dividends by Canadian companies in 1937, one-
third was paid by the mines.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
The position abroad is complex and difficult but one gets few hints of the tremendous desire for which is latent in all parts of Europe. I know of no European country whero the mass of the people are sym- pathetic with the aggressive expres- sions of some of their leaders. In many countries, desperate economic conditions have created mass fear, Ruthless, cynical and_ irresponsible leadership is gambling to keep itself in power. Just as there are construc- tive psychological factors beneath the surface, so there are favourable eco- nomic forces at work. Those of us who continue to feel hopeful base our optimism upon the belief that ideal- ism is not dead and that it cannot be long before ecenomic reconstruc- tion gives even those who are most desperate a breathing spell.
UNITED STATES
One of the most important ques- tions of the day is whether the United States is merely experiencing an in- terruption in the long term trend of recovery, or whether the wheel has
peace.
turned full circle and the country is again facing a major depression. In my opinion, fundamental ‘conditions now and in the period immediately preceding the last depression are not comparable. One would be tempted to say without hesitation that the present setback is merely a tempor- ary recession, were it not for the un- fortunate lack of co-operation that exists between Government and busi- ness,
It surely cannot be long before a plan for practical co-operation be-
would furnish serious marketing problems. The efforts towards self- sufficiency in food supplies on the part of many countries, and particu- larly Germany, France and Italy, have also narrowed the international market for wheat and flour to a point where total overseas sales of the four important non-European ex- porters have been reduced as follows:

There was no single remedy to bring about improvement, said Mr, Wilson. Diversified agriculture, with- drawal of sub-marginal land from wheat, and more scientific methods would help. But these should be
combined with exceptional efforts on}
the part of the government to open the doors of foreign markets, so that When Canadian farmers again reap |a@ good crop the wheat may be sold to advantage. It is clear that the Prairie Provinces cannot solve this problem alone. This is a task which calls for prolonged, consistent and wholehearted co-operation.
The best possible hope of securing
outlets of our grain and other agri- cultural products is through negotia- | tions with countries which are now growing food crops at an exorbitant cost. I view with satisfaction the present tendency among democratic coun- tries to break down barriers imped- ing the natural flow of business,
With the general statement that Canada should admit freely articles within the country there can he little basis for Cisagree- ment. But I would go further and say that reduced tariffs should be applied to articles which are made in Canada only on a restricted and uneconomic scale.
The problem is not simple, studies undertaken by the Tariff ‘Board to determine what concessions j should be made to foreign countries in exchange for an important market ‘for ol staple commodities, should receive the support and encourage- ‘ment of experts from the industries | directly affected. | MINING | The continued growth of mining had contributed materially to the

On the whole, I look forward to 1938 as a year in which—barring some upset in international affairs not presently anticipated—I expect to see an improvement from present levels in the United States, and a further orderly economic reconstruc- tion in many foreign countries. If this proves to be an accurate fore- cast, we can, I believe, look forward to further substantial progress to- wards full recovery in Canada.
GENERAL MANAGER'S ADDRESS
In reviewing the general Balance Sheet, Mr. S. G. Dobson, General Manager, referred with satisfaction to an increase of $14,000,000 in total assets, a renewal of the upward trend in commercial loans and a growth of 190 million dollars in Royal Bank deposits in less than five years,
Conditions in Canada _ definitely improved during the year, said Mr, Dobson, the one dark spot being the drought areas in Western Canada,
Referring to the unfair criticism in Alberta, Mr. Dobson said in this campaign of misrepresentation, efforts have been made to stir up re- sentment against the banks. And yet, during the last five years not in one single instance has any farmer or home owner in Alberta been deprived 'of his farm or home by this bank |through foreclosure,
To demonstrate the wide diversity (ee services banks provide, Mr. Dobson took occasion to analyze certain ‘of the bank’s figures, At the end of the year, the bank had on its books loans to farmers totalling $16,000,000, to retail merchants $21,000,000, to pro- fessional men and other private in- dividuals $51,000,000. As a further fexample of the extent to which wo facilitate the. affairs of what might be termed the “smaller client”, I may say we had loans outstanding to 161,000 borrowers whose liability to | the bank did not exceed $500 each. | In conclusion, Mr, Dobson said that ;2 profitable year for business was clearly reflected in the Bank’s own balance sheet for 1937.
