...Canada scoffed the Ten Eyck idea. Declared Oscar Earnest Fleming of the Canadian Deep Waterways & Power Association: "The people of Quebec and the Maritimes are intensely British and would object to being transferred like a lot of cattle."

Building this afternoon at four-thirty to sing medieval church music, he will rejoice to imitate the careless abandon with which the uncontrollable monks sang their parts.
