The conference opens with every prospect of success attending- its deliberations, and particularly so in view of the fine understanding already reached "between Great Britain and the United States. The hopes and desires of all mankind ere ���������wrapped up in its success. If an accord can be reached in regard to questions of naval strength the next stcr should, and undoubtedly? will he, an endeavor to arrive at an agreement for the reduction of armies and .other forms of land armament, M'Htary preparedness, so called, as district from naval establishments, imposes an even heavier burden on raost'nations. Nevertheless^ the question. cf the size of armies seems to present the more difficult problem. For example, here in Canada -we can understand ���������why the United States witk the Atlantic, and Pacific, and Gulf of Mex4co bounding it on three sides, with its island possessions of the Pfa53ipp3n.es,, Porto Rico, etc.,,and its ocean borne trade, should feel the necessity of a strong navy, hut the majority -of our people are at a lass to understand their need of a larg-e standing array end an. extensive Xational Guard or militia. Following*, as it did, the cordial reception tendered Premier Ramsay MacDonald by President Hoover, and the spontaneous acceptance of the invitation to the naval conference in London, Mr. Hoover's Armistice Tj&y speech came as something of a shock in that he laid great stress,���������many people believe too much stress,���������on the old gospel of preparedness and particularly as it applied to the United States. -Nor is this feeling allayed ia President Hoover's first budget message to Congress, -wherein he aslts for Looldng To the Future New.

L ^President Hoover's statement mat suiacieiiu xorces muse oe zaaisicaiiieci to prevent "the foot of the invader landing on our sacred soil," sounded like a sop to the militarists. There does not appear to be the vaguest poss'bility that any power or combination of powers contemplates any such fantastic step or that it is ever likely to happen. Canada and Mexico are the only two countries whose territory .ia contiguous to the United States, and this Dominion's permanent force of approximately 3,000 does not constitute a threat, nor has the U.S. anything to fear from Mexico. Why, then, such huge army expenditures ? President Hoover has taken a fine stand on naval reductions and also on the Kellogg anti-war pact, but if real progress is to be made towards world disarmament an even greater measure -of enthusiasm, must be displayed, for reduction in land forces. In his address he referred to the fact that there are ten million men under arms in Europe, vastly more than in 1914=. But, Instead of attempting to formulate some plan whereby a reduction in these immense forces could be effected, Mr. Hoover seemed chiefly concerned in having the United States build up a bigger army to avoid invasion by these. overseas millions. Real friends of peace would have liked to hear President Hoover Issue an urgent call to European countries to immed'ately start cutting down their armies, and, instead of advocating a still larger army for his country, he. could safely have added weight to his plea by favoring a reduction, rather than an increase, in the United States land forces. The war-wearied peoples in all countries would have welcomed such a lead from the United" States. Apparently the lesson that preparedness for war inevitably leads to war has not yet been sufficiently impressed upon the minds of the people. An enormous percentage of tho four billions of dollars which Mr. Hoover aaks Congress to provide in its next budget, is to cover tho costs of former wars and to "prepare" for possible future ones. In 1028 the United States spent sixty cents out of every dollar on account of war financing. Another twenty cents went to the army and navy, making a total of eighty cents out of every dollar collected in federal, taxes for military���������and, in an economic sense, unproductive���������purposes. In that same year In Canada, a pacific nation, spending far less than other countries on war preparation and,debts incurred by war, heavy aa the latter are, 45Vi cents out of every dollar expended by tho Government was attributable to war. In the light of these figures it is clearly evident that, If this damnable doctrine of "preparedness" la to bo allowed to continue as tho basis of international relat'ons, all the efforts of tho League of Nations, nil Peace Pacts, all efCortei of peace organizations will fail. The people must hostlr thomselvoa In order to avert the possibility of future wars. To Stock Western Waters Over Five Million Fish Fry Deposited In "Western Waters During- Past "Eear There should be a lot of new good sport fishing in Western Canada waters in a few years.

' V *" ' ;' A Norwegian steamship, bearing codfish from Iceland, sank off Bay-- ona, northwestern Spain, after terrific gales forced it aground. The ship was bound for Vigo, nearby. ; ' At 1 a.m. fishermen on shore saw its first rocket of distress. Although a heavy fog prevailed, and the storm was so severe that fishing smacks in the inner harbor were damaged, the fishermen struggled to reach the battered vessel. After two hours they .approached within 700 yards of the doomed steamer, but could not get closer. The stricken vessel sank with all hands. Later four ������bod'es were washed ashore, all wearing life-preservers marked "Asland." Letters and other documents cast up by the waves indicated the ship carried a crew of 2*4. No survivors -were found. Lloyd's which rece'ved an account of the shipwreck, believed the ship's name to be "Aslaug" instead of "As- land." The 'Aslaug" was listed as of 990 tons. The storm blew out of the southwest, banish:ng the blue skies and summery, weather of Southern England.

Vancouver, B.C., December 23, 1929. CHAS. MTJRRELL. ������ Creston Farmers' Institute, Creston, B.C. Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of the 18th inst. just received, the B.C. Growers and Shippers' Federation is an amalgamation of snippers. Although called a Growers. and Shippers Federation It is, for the present at least, a Shippers' Federation, There is no membership fee. The chairman 61 the board is E. M. Carruthers, wh o might give you more specific information if you cared to write him. The Growers and Shippsrs' Federation represents both the Associated Growem and the Independents (Sales Service). A resolution was passed at a directors' meeting; of this Association last January requesting that the B,C.F.G.A. be given power to appoint 50 per cent, of the vot-1 mg power on the board of directors of the Growers and Shippers' Federation, hut this request waa refused; At our last executEvo meeting- the fol- olution was passed, which is to br> brought in by the executive at the annual convention in January: "Whereas the Produce Marketing Act was enacted for the benefit of the fruit and vegetable growers of tho province. And "Whereas the constitution of tho Growers-and Shippers' Federation does not provide for growers to have a voice in the selection of any member or momfoors of the Committee of Direction, or in the disposition of their produce Therefore bo it resolved that the B.CF.G'A. through the executive committee have the Tight of appointing 50 per eemt. of tho members of the Executive Committee of tho Growers and Shippers* Federation .with full voting power. Trusting this will bo of Interest to you, I am, M.APPLEBY. Secretary B.C.F.G.A. The best attended and most practical session of the . Creston branch of the British Columbia Fruit Growers Association was the adjourned meeting on Saturday afternoon, which attracted the attention of about 50 orchardiste, who on the strength of resolutions submitted by the resolutions committee selected at the meetin6 of the week previovs, and some recommendations sent along for en donation from the B.C.F.G A, executive, agreed to.have their representative at the convention at Vancouver this month support a resolution demanding that the ��������� ��������� 1 B.C.F.G.A. appoint half the members of the executive of the Growers and Shippers' Federation, and another requesting that freight rates on apples moving westward from the Kootenay for export be equalized with the rates accorded Oka- Ti������������������������-n fruit.. The local committee submitted a resolution requesting authority be giveu the B.C.F.G.A.* to appoint half the members of the executive of the Growers and Shippers' Federation, but it was tuxneTS down mainly because it would lead to the appointment of more officials to give effect to the sentiment in this matter from the various fruit growing sections. The rejected local resolution, read: Is the Produce Marketing Act having a stabalizing effect on prices and distribution? '���������'������������������:���������': Are the benefits, ii any, worth the expense incurred*? Can a system be devised whereby the Committee"; can fix. a price to the grower instead of the shipper? Is the Assbetsttd Growers functioning in the best interests of its members? Are the expenses of operation too heavy? Are overages being retained by the shippers, ana it ss, to what extent? ���������Are the Independent shippers paying their growers more than the co-operative? Are they more efficient in their methods? Are they receiving an unreosonftble amount in profits? Where is the differential between what the producer receives and what the consumer pays? Can the differentia! be reduced? If so, in what respects? What are the effects on prices of undesirable varieties, low' grades, bulk shipments, etc., on the~maiket generally? Are. and to what extent, secret rebates being made by shippers, and what are the methods used in obtaining these rebates, if such there are? Is Central Selling practicable? How would It function? What are its dangers? If found desirable, could the powers of the present Committee be extended to b Central Selling Agency? Is it not advisable to take evidence under oath? Are we over-organized? If so, which can be eliminated? What is the influence of direct shipments to departmental houses end chain ] stores on the whole industry, and the At the outset serious objection was taken to the way the meeting on TJec- ember21st was conducted. After considerable argument, led by John Hall, and with the consent of the consent of the delegate, Don. Bradley and the director, W. G.

In view of tlae haivy freight rate from Vancouver it; was necessary dto install a field--^manufacturing plant. This is located on Arrow Creeks near Go at> River. The company has built a sand and gravel plant onv the Goat River where the sand and gravel is washed and separated into sizes and grades as reauired. This is a very important part of the manufacturing system as the material has to be igraded to suit the pipe, for different -pressures that occur in the pipe line. Also the material must be clean and free from injurious matter. Two systems of testing are made at short pipes are put into another steam room but during mild weather they are put outside for about 10 days before being hauled away. All pipe for a pressure line such. as this are reinforced with. wire. The wire is fabricated by a special machine designed for the purpose. It is woven spirally and longitudally according to a mathematical chart to suit the pipe for different pressures. The finished products are' known as "cages91 and are placed inside the forms as they-are'.being assembled. To cover the joint of the pipe where they meet a collar about 8" wide is. made by the same process as the pipe, also reinforced, and of a size to allow for a space around the pipe of about %. of an inch. This space is filled with neat cement made moist and driven into place by special irons. This is the "caulking" process and is very important to insure a tight joint. Before the caulking is done one end of the pipe is polished with graphite., this allows for a I r raa B^^^Q^^^|i;il nit 1 yi.itll ma uvivir possible grade with a load of 3 of these 21" pipe. - ���������. Next to the actual manufacture of the pipe comes the laying. This is being done, successfully, by a crew of local men. it is largely complicated through the fact that a greater, part of the line is on a hillside and through hollows, known as syphons, which means horizontal and vertical curves. Special bevelled end pipe have to be made to take care of these bends. . The testing of a concrete pipe line is interesting and it is here where concrete differs from most other materials used in pressure pipe lines. The first test is the hardest; seepage will appear in many places and may continue for several days but except in the case of a defective pipe this leakage will', soon disappear. This seepage is caused by a slight shrinkage in the concrete during dry weather.

The actual .manufacture of the pipe seems a very��������� simple operar tion indeed, arid to the lay-man the results -would differ but little from the common practice, namely, that of pouring mixed concrete into a mould set on end. The method employed is known as the Hume Centrifugal System, an Australian patent for which a royalty has to he paid. There are now factories all over the world working under this system with the greatest ssaecess. The B. C. Uonerete ������jo. were the first on the American continent to use the system. In Vancouver they are making pipe ranging in diameter from 6" to 66". The latter have walls 7V2" thick and weigh over 4cYz tons each- It is now an established fact (that while ���������- -water is absolutely ueeessary for the making of concrete it is also known that the less ivatejr Tised^the stronger; the concrete. Only enough water should be used to give the .mix a workable or plastic form. When the water dries out there aire spaces left that makes the concrete porous. This weakens the mass and if under water pressure there will be a leakage. It will thus be seen that pipe made by the old system is absolutely against the best principle of making water-tight and strong concrete for it is impossible to get rid of the water, laitance or other light matter injurious to concrete. All this matter becomes part and parcel of the pipe and must cause a fault. "With the centrifugal system the forms or moulds are placed on revolving rollers in a horizontal position and driven at a variable speed. These moulds do not have an inside casing but have end rings with fHangs equal to the thickness of the walls of the pipe. As the moulds revolve the concrete is shovelled in from both ends as quickly as possible, 10 , or 12 moulds may be revolving oil one machine at the same time, and the filling is only a matter of a few minutest. This is known as *l spinning.0 /Experienced spinners can tojil when the pipe is "made," the time varies according to certain local conditions, It is, here where the visitor g>ets a surprise, The. concrete at tlte time of shovelling would appear to bo comparatively dry; immediately tho machine stops' mm ineredible amount of water rushes out both ends of the pipe.
