ratio. however. fell away slightly,
and made q higher rediscount rate
more likely in coming weeks. A
higher rate at London would attract
credit from New York and reduce

purposes.

70 Planes Lost.
IN FAR NORTH

TORONTO, Ontario, July is u.N.s.).
The Ontario government was max
ing frantic efforts today to learn
the fate of more than 20 airplanes
adrift in the wilderness areas of
the northwestern sections of the
province, near. Long Lac,
The planes, all government owned
and used in. the forest patrol and
survey service. were caught in a
hurricane that felled huge trees,
snapped telephone, and telegraph
cables and spread havoc through
out the district. -
Twenty government planes are
stationed in the Long Lac area.
Only two have been accounted for.
These two were lifted from water
moorings at Long Lac and blown
80 feet up the rocky shore by the
terrific sweep OF the whirlwind.
The Long Lac area is the aviation
center of northern Ontario's vast
mining empire. In addition to gov
ernment planes there are scores of
private development company air
craft and planes owned by mining
compa nies in the district.
