In reviewing his tenure of office.
Hepburn said he found the reason
for the depression in Canada was
the inability of governmental
leaders to do something about
the distribution of products. The
machinery and products are avail

needed is proper distribution.
And both Canada and the United
States must face this problem
Commenting on Russia's part in

The Navy today admitted a bit
necessary deception in yesterday
Navy parade: The big 16-inch gun
which looked lethel enough to de-
stroy the Capital at a single blast
couldn t even have fired BIB shot.
The gun, you see, was made OF
wood.
The Navy said it wasn't trying to
fool the public. But even If there
were a vehicle strong enough to
support the real thing. the weight
Of the gun would have scraped a
deep trench up the length Of Con-
stitution avenue.
Largest piece of ordnance the
Navy produces for its big battle
wagons, the real gun weighs 382 $50
pounds-about 14l tons. 1t is a little
better than 66 feet long.
The wooden reproduction, which
had practically every one deluded,
was built in the Navy Yard here
especially for the parade. The Navy
has no further plans for it and will
store 1t in the yard.
