6 WOULD BUILD DAM TO CHANGE CLIMATE OF NEWFOUNDLAND St. John, N. 8., Aug. 15. —Newfound- land is contemplating changing its climate if it doesn't like it? The climate of Newfoundland would be changed if a breakwater were built across the Straits of Belle Isle between the island and the main land and the cold Labrador current were shunted out into the Atlantic ocean. Such a dam is being serious ly considered. It would cost an im mense sum of money but engineers say it presents few difficulties. The Labrador current at present Is the chief factor in moulding the climate not only of Newfoundland but of the Maritime provinces of Canada and of New England. Com ing down from the Arctic ocean, it pours through the Straits of Belle Island and, circulating around the Gulf of St. Lawrence, washes with its cold flood the coasts of Newfound land, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, Then passing through Cabot Strait, it turns south and sweeps along New England. Its strong southward How acts as a cold wedge which pries the Gulf Stream away from all those coasts and shunts that ocean river, bearing the warmth of the tropics, oft northeast ward across the ocean.

Government Inspected FRIDAY EVENING. out of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and, sheering off southeast, would miss the mainland and continue to affect only the northeastern coast of New foundland. The Gulf Stream then would ease in against the continent and. flowing into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, warm all the surrounding shores and islands. The Gulf Stream is responsible for the mild winter climate of England and northern France. England is farther north than Newfoundland. If after cooling off in its long passage across the northern seas, the Gulf Stream is still such a factor in tem pering England's climate, it would have an even greater effect, it is be lieved, in tempering the winter cli mate of eastern Canada and New England. Its influence would be felt far in land. The mouth of the St. Lawrence river is in the same latitude as south ern Alberta. Yet while the St. Law rence ports are blocked with ice in winter, there is only light snowfalls on the prairie farmlands of southern Alberta and livestock graze out of doors all the year round. Alberta is an illustration of the effect of a distant warm sea current. Its won derfully open winters are due to the ehinook winds which, warmed by the Japanese current that washes the shores of British Columbia, filter) across the Ytocky Mountain ranges. Under present conditions. New Brunswick. Novn Scotia, Quebec and Prince Edward Island are fine farm ing countries and their output in farm products, especially fruits and livestock, according to statistics of the Canadian National Railways, tompares favorably in bulk with that of other parts on the Dominion. But with a warmer climate, agriculture would be wonderfully stimulated. The value of land would be enhanced by billions of dollars. St. Lawrence river ports, through which a great part of Canada's ex port trade in wheat passes, would remain open all winter and a tre mendous accession of wealth would result to the nation from this un restricted. all-the-> ear-round com merce. Montreal, as a result, would suddenly loom as a potential trade rival of New York. New industries would spring up everywhere. Population would be vastly increased. The Belle Isle pro ject would change r.ot only the cli ,l'iate but perhaps the future destiny of Canada and the entire northeast ern coast of North America.

"The coal trade," said the reso lution, "is willing to present lo the proper government body the cost of doing business as wholesalers, ami of producing coal, and at the same time information to determine the investment at replacement cost. In working capital, plant and equip ment. Such information is neces sary to the determination of a fair return per ton, and the fair return should bo determined after allow ing for costs of selling and other proper expenses which were not taken care of in the margin allow ed by the United States Ftlol Ad ministration during the war." The resolutions asserted that through coal the markets of the world are opened, adding that the economic advancement and inde pendence of the United States de pended upon American coal being handled abroad by Americans. "Any attempt," the resolution says, "to use American coal to hold a foreign market for foreign dealers and bankers should be opposed by j all Americans."
