Roosevelt plans to deal with the bonus hunters by providing them with work. ‘The result of the new method will likely prove that employment is mightier than force in handling men. At the same time it is likely that those who will nct work will need some measure of force. Hcover handled the camped at Washingtor grant them war bonw such an amount spent in work would kill the depression in a few months. It would bring back prosperity and progress. Until there is work, there will be no betterment, and every dollar spent seems a dollar wasted. Direct relief creates no circles of employment. It drags more men on relief. Emâ€" pleoyment makes other employment, and wide circles of helpâ€" ful activity stretch out from the centre of employment. It keeps men off rolief. Seventy million dollars spent last year for direct employment would have made the most of the relief payments unnecessary. The present situation can not be cured by calling old tricks by new names. It cannot be helped by stopping at destructive criticism. It must be faced by definite and detailed plans, not by vague promises. The Advance still holds to the clearâ€"cut preposition that work is the only cure for unemployment. The work is notâ€" ed as necessary and advantageous. The cost may be deâ€" frayed from the same apparently bottcmless bag that is _uggests that the amendments to present regulations and usages, as urged by The Advance, are impossible. The Post refers to the proposal of The Advance for work to be proâ€" vided to cure unemployment. "But who is to provide the work, and who is to pay for it under present conditions?" asks The Post. The answer has been given in these columns zo often that the old saying abcout being "as deaf as a Post" might be extended to the idea of the "wilful blindness of the Post." The work should be provided by the Governâ€" ments. There is work fairly crying aloud to be done in this young cSuntry. Even The Post has mentioned that fact more than once, whether it knows it or not. There would be no difficulty in providing all the work that would be neededâ€"and it could all be necessary, useful work, profitâ€" able work. Who would pay for it? Well, who is paying for direct relief? Does The Fost know that the Dominion Govâ€" ernment last year flung away over seventy million dollars for direct relief? The total spent on the vicious direct reâ€" lief system would easily be double seventy million dcllars. Such an amount spent in work would kill the depression in young cSuntry. Even The Post has more than once, whether it knows it wh TMU suggestion as to any plan or method in the minds of the CCF. leaderts to bring any betterment.

Some of these expected difficulties have materâ€" lalized in such a way as to show the Justificaticon of the press for the atâ€" titude adopted ‘that only the proper sort of men should be chosen if the scheme were to be saved from failure.

If that question is answe in the affirmative, then we must se the instrumentality of government which we shall effect that purpose. is not a department of government is a business, an industry. And in The only persons who have an inâ€" terest in that matter are those who take out their licenses and every user of a radio is supposed to have taken out a licerse. That money we said last year, and we repeat this year, is monsy for the expenditure of which this comâ€" mission should be responsible. It is money which partners in the enterprise have entrusted the commission to exâ€" pend for them, and parliament has taken the necessary action to proserve this business for the Canadian people. If, Mr. Speaker, it is thought for a moment that ths commission can sucâ€" cessfully function if it has to come and report to this house in answer to a question as to whether Jane Smith was a contralto or a soprano, or whether she sang on a certain night, and what she was paidâ€"it must be failure inâ€" evitably and positively. There can be no doubt about it. Every thoughtful man knows it, every observer knows it:; but that is the criticism made by the opposition and private interests. We may be asked, "What is the name of the announcer at station so and so; where was he born; what size boots does he wear?" We may be asked, "Did Jane Smith, or somebody elss, come from New York to sing?" If that sort of thing is to continue I say to this House of Commons this afternoon: Gefntleâ€" men, you have destroyed the thing you desired to protect. That is as certain @1700 in Suchn way as to snow the Justificaticon of the press for the atâ€" titude adopted ‘that only the proper sort of men should be chosen if the scheme were to be saved from failure. Despite the fact, however, that there have been fallures in the plan, and as anything in the world, and there is no thoughtful member of the House who does not realize it. We have determined that we will not part with our broadcasting rights in Canada. We have detormined that at this stage of scientific development we are going to cling to those rights, but we are going to endeavour to give to Canadian people some reasonable serâ€" vice in the way of broadcasting faciliâ€" ties. We have charged a license fee of two dollars. The taxpayer of this country is not responsible for the moneys expended by the radio commisâ€" sion.

The liquor commission of Ontario, I understand, although I am not so familiar with its operations, conâ€" ducts its business in exactly the same is a business, an industry. And in t same way that provinces select liqu commissions to transact their busines so in this instancge the Dominion Go\ ernment believes, as shown by t statute that has been passed, that t instrumentality by which we can a« complish our purpose is a commissio of three persons. It will be observed that there is a great distinction between a department of government and a commission. . A department of government, as the very words indicate, is responsible to this parliament in a narrow sense. A comâ€" department of government, as the very words indicate, is responsible to this parliament in a narrow sense. A comâ€" mission is an instrumentality set up by parliament itself to accomplish certain purposes and achieve certain ends. The liquor commission of Quebec makes no report to anyone except a report as to its operations. It buys, it sells, it reâ€" ceives money, it pays out money. .

To most thoughtful people the point will be an important one, that, though the "backâ€"t>â€"theâ€"land plan does nct offer any way of getting rich quick, though the most it proâ€" mises in success is independence and a ec:nfortable livelihood, and though the measure of success must be brought about by actual physical hard work and thrift, these very drawbacks, as some might term them, are the very things needed now. It is one of the best things possible to emphasize the fact that a good livelihood rather than sudâ€" den riches is the best ambition for people on general, and that a return to work on the land and at other th on the land and fundamen : very things of the best size the fact er than sudâ€" ambition â€" fotr L a return at other ccupations A girl who works in an office who got |of haemogl very little fresh air and sunshine, lost the doctor) colour, became enervated, and, on |count of 5,4 November 14, 1932, went to a physician‘s ‘ When it is office in a Canadian city and had her bin is the ox blood tested.
