in Quebec, the report states, has re- 

 ceived the hearty sympathy of the 

 provincial authorities. It is believed

 situation urgently demands the as- 

 signment of a much larger force of

 ployment of an adequate staff for 

 the protection of large areas of un- 

 licensed lands, in order that they may 

 remain or become productive and 

 provision for a sufficient head-office 

 staff to maintain proper control over
