G. l Clarke af Vancouver, who has charge of the federal trait Inspection stall anl w*»k la British Columbia, was here an aa official -Ut at the first of the week, aad reports that the' British Columbia fruit growers are paying ggaet attention to tha export app.e the shipments of ap- well over mora, than with 1931. Up to the middle of November tbe export of winter apple* totalled almost 900,000 boxes, more than half of which have been Jonathan, and Delicious coming second. A consld arable portion of these have been placed in storage and qnlte good returns are looked tor on all export apples made since of tbe month, at which date the British preference' was increased a matter of an additional 18 per nent per box. According to Mr. Clarke, the British Columbia apple crop this year will be not lesB thsn 4,500,000 boxes, and at t he middle of November about 1,300,000 boxes ha,*, been shipped, with 60 per cent ot the movement to overseas. Figures on apples shipped, how* eever, do not Include the very popular varletp, Mcintosh Red. Of this variety the estimate Is for a crop of 1,219,519 boxes. An effort Is being made to regulte the movement of Macs" and latest figures—up to November IS—would Indicate that to date 372,505 boxes have gone overseas, and 492,794 boxes to the prairie' and eastern Canada markets. A startling feature of the 1932 apple movement Is that up to the middle of the month just over 80 per cent of the apples sold In Canada rolled in bub:. From now on, how ever, this bulk movement will neas-j with the application of the new freight charge on bulk apples up to the price charged on boxed stuH. . ■ .. o- • — Ten Times Higher Living For Everybody CLEVELAND, Ohio. Dec. S.--A Xorth American civilization with a standard of .iviug ten times higher, than ln 1929, was pictured todap by Howard Scott, leader of the school of "Technocracy" engineer* at Columbia university. Scott, a consulting engineer in the' construction of Muscle Shoals, addressed the city clnb in the first presentation to a ay group of the statistical detals of "technocracy." "Technocrats" are a group ot en- fglneers and technicians who have engaged ln a 12 years' study of the effects of tlie machine upon man's emplopment, reducing his consump tion and production in Industry to terms of energy. Their finding* ar* related to technological unemployment. The high living standard depicted by Scott wonld evolve from a social on'er without a price system, debt* or wages; but where persons be> tw.jn tbe age8 ot 2g and 45 would do all the work in 660 hourh a year —or In four hours a day, four days a week, ten months a year. "North America ls the only continental area ln the world with tbe trained personnel, the equipment, and the geological resource* to move the human race Into a new era," said Scott But It wag against a baevgroued ot machine-made glfom bhajt Scott erected his vision ot the 'uture. While man Ig multlpigplng the means of production by an "undlrec- tlonal and irreversible technology, he Is Increasing unemployment In a "price system that depends npen debt for the Increase of wealth," Scott saidf f Saying there iB no way to produce wealth under the price syste meit- cept by debt, Scott declared that "the world must'throw overboard all Its wishful thinking from Aristotle to Marx, including economic*, tha pathology of debt" The debt Tmerchanta whom society has placed In control on the bridge are trplng to lay in Portuguese to us engineers In the boiler room that we must reverse the engine or Die lilp vi 111 go on tbe rorocks, while we engineer* ore trying to explain In Malay that the engine has no reverse gear." De declined to commit the Technocrats" to any theory of what the future hocla': order should be like except to indicate that a unit of energy might replace the price system. Noting that oscillations from proa- •erity to depression have bee* growing more violent, Scott predtetaJ the next depression wil| "swins from the maximum to sera." The Technocrats, he said, had forecast In' 1920 that there wou'd be a crash in 1930, and had missed it bp but ayear. There is no end In sight for technological developmfent, he declared, citing numerous new Inventions ahd the possibility bf tapping new sources of energy by equalising' tbe temperatures of tbe sea water, or by extracting soar energp from the nlr. "There ts a technological backlog overhanging this conntry which would make the material backlog In our warehouses Hook like sawdust." he sold, ' » i' Fundamental Changes Must Be Made to Cure World's Present Ills Mr7~Benhett, hiT said had opposed the culmination of the LsAirler policy as expreesel In the Dunning budget and had declared his Intention of blasting his way Into the market of the world. Two years ago he had gone ! to an Empire conference at which the spirit created by Laurier was notablr absent. Mr Bennett, baring already put the tariff up, made proposals of such a character that "Jlmniip" Tho- mas had'described them a« "humbug'. At Ottawa the big question day after day was whether the conference would blow up today Or tomorrow said Mr. Farrls aind apparently the only thing that saved It was the very seriousness of the situation that Mr. Bennett had created. BARGAIN COUNTER As a result of this bargain counter form of reciprocal relations In the Empire tbe lumbermen of British Columbia were complatng bitterly of their treatment In Britain. And tn Britain thcro was equal bitterness, with such eminent men as Lord Hailshnm being quoted, that they did not fear rampageous bulls after having faced Mr. Bennett for four weeks at Ottawa. That was the difference ln Empire relations as created by the difference in the Laurier and Bennett methods, he said. "Fuzzless" Peach Now Promised WENATCHEE, Wash.—After five years of thorough testing and watch- : Ing a local nursery company bas Introduced an entirely new peach var- : lety that is nearly'free of fuzz or down j Deliveries of young trees now are be- A little while ago we were told.,n« mad« for the ant Un» •nd •" *>» spring of 1934 at least 26,000 saplings will be ready tor distribution. The new peach has been named Can" doKa. It Is exceptionally large, turns dark red in co.or Is sweet and surpasses most peach varieties in shipping qualities because oi it- firmness. It can be nearly tree-ripened and stir be shipped without damage. The peach was discovered in an orchard near Tonasket, in a row of J. H Hale peach tree*. Its owner was at a oss as to the fruits classification and lt is not known how the Candoka originated. Tbe nursery company which discovered the new peacbihas applied fbr a plant patent—some/hlng new in the fruit Industry, onkfa ^pzen or law of' these having bfen giwatad to date. Having all the desirable flavor, alze color and shipping qualities of a fine peach, the Candoka's exclusive characteristic of being fuzzless Is expected to make It the most popular of al peach varieties. Many growers already have cancel led orders tor old- type varieties and are asking tor early delivery of this fuzz ess fellow. Consolidated Co. Will Test | Radium Ore Rock Creek.

"•W* are offered various solutions for our trouble today," said Mr. Fair' M we should, have a business man's government so we ejected a, lot of millionaires and near-millionaires and psper millionaires and we have a millionaire prime minister at Ottawa.

''What we need Is a man to steer the ship Into port Wc* need to think of more tban merely stopping up the leaks. There Is more than economics wrong with tha world. There has got to be a change more fundamental than the mere! distribution of wealth. A spiritual change ls needed. I am looking for leadership from men who have vision as Laurier had vision. It is not complicated formulate but a simple, direct viewpoint that ls needed, a recognition that humanity. Is greater than dollars anl cents.
