Best Of
Manpower For Task
MONTREAL, Aug. 20 (Reiler).— "A road to victory must be blazed through the air. Men who open that road and journey along it must be the best, bravest and brainlest of this and other Commonwealth of Nations."
Thus the Canadian Air Minister, Mr C. G. Power, referred to the Empire Training Scheme in a speech nt a luncheon in Montreal.
Without
giving figures, Mr Power said: " has been found that given the orginally planned number of schools. aircraft and staff, we can produce a 30 per cent, higher output than originally anticipated."
(When the plan was first announc- ed in nutumn, 1930, it was unofficially. estimated that the output might be 25,000 airmen a year).
Gigantic Enterprise
Mr Power described the plan sa the "most gigantle enterprise over attempted by a people with a popul tion of 12,000,000," and declared thin! a thousand Canadian armen were uverseas now nud “many limer more" would be sent overseas before the war was ended.
"Canaria's share of the air war is a heavy one, Our people's burden will be greater as inore crews of Conninn youth conse forward to be trained to blast their way to victory."

LONDON, Aug. 20 (Reuter)The community of interest between the British and Netherlands Empires was the theme of an address given by Dr J; M. Welter, the Netherlands Minister for the Colonies, at luncheon in London to Lord Moyne, the British Colonial Minister.
Dr Welter said: "It is Az
well that we two great colonial Powers should stand together and face the future shoulder to shoulder, for it is sure thing that even our well- tempered experience in colonial affairs and our resourcefulness will be severely taxed by the exigencies of post-ivar economic and other pro- blems which are bound to fellow in the wake of this world-wide con- illet.

LOTUS "DORMEONE" SHOES are very old and tried favourities. They have two special features. -the LOW HEEL and the "DORMEONE" STRAP.
The heel is only 4" high. This means that the weight of the body is thrown well back and a correct stance is enforced. Almost as good as the ideal the barefoot stance.
The "DORMEONE" strap acts liko a veritable extra ligament, bracing the arch of the foot constantly and taking away the strain of the low heel. It is adjustable both for position and tension. It permits a full day's golf without foot fatigue,
