Some of these deposits have already been developed and others are! being turned into production, but even jn these known fields cumulative! evidence points to the probability that only the surface has yet been scratched, as witness the recent discovery of the existence of oil, presum- ably in large quantities, at hitherto untapped depths just beyond the out- skirts of the known Turner Valley field. And outside the known and already productive fields is a vast territory which, if credence is to be given the weight of evidence and belief of scien- tific authorities, has perhaps even greater possibilities.

Such a possibility has been suspected for some time but Mr. Hager wisely drew attention to the difficulties which must be encountered before this great wealth can be tapped with any degree of reasonable certainty and intimated that recovery of these riches is likely to entail large expendi- tures of capital because of the peculiar geological conformation of the country. For example, Mr. Hager pointed out that the residents of the Lioyd- minster district on the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary who were fortunate enough to strike gas in commercial quantities on the strength of sketchy geological reports compiled in Ottawa were taking a gamble with odds of 500 to one against them and that “even where a dome or anticline is located in a known field by experienced men the chances are only one in three that oil or gas will be found in The difficulties of locating hidden mineral wealth are great enough in countries where exposed outcroppings are frequent and where geological sub-strata is regular but these Manitoba recently prompted Dorsey commercial quantities.” are dah in @ territory overlain by glacial drift and where the sub-strata is subjected to frequent faults as in the prairie provinces. All of which is tantamount to wealth in Western Canada is essentially a rich man’s game and that the great need for successful prosecution of the search is available capital in con- siderable quantities.

The committee's views may be summed up thus: Though the development of the plane has added a new terror to the battleship, it is unlikely that a plane would be able to score enough direct hits on a ship to sink it. ecks are now being so heavily armored that a bomb would not penetrate far enough. Enormous developments have been made recently in anti-aircraft guns, which can fire 1,600 shells a minute.
