If the Ferguson highwa; t n # In Timmins there were one or two citizens who thought that the money spent in floats, costumes and for other necessities in connection with the big parade, might have been better expended for direct relief. This is a shortsighted attitude to take. As a matter of fact it is always better to provide work than to give direct relief. Everything that makes labour is of value to the community and to the country, especially in times like these. Providing work through the use of materials and the making of displays keeps the workers in posiâ€" tion where they do not need relief. That is much better than trying to remedy the conditions that arise from lack of work and the need that results from want of enterprise. In the case of the British celebration of the King‘s Silver Jubilee there is also another importâ€" ant point to remember. The lavish manner in which the celebration is being carried through is| not only creating work and distributing money to those ready to work, but it is also bringing money )nto the country. The Silver Jubilee events are Pttracting people to England from all parts of the Empire and from many other countries. The Briâ€" tish people, according to one Old Country newsâ€"l paper, expect that the celebration will bring into| Britain a sum that will fully reach King George himself is said to have urged thosel in charge of the celebration events to more lavishi and colourful displays. The King is a shrewd pusiness man with wide knowledge of human naâ€" 'ture and in the celebration he no doubt saw opâ€" portunity for big returns to Britain‘s commercial and industrial concerns as well as to the country‘s workingmen. | There are people in this country who pretend to believe that if the Hyde Park policy of England were in force in Canada the communists would soon blow off all their steam and evaporate in the process. It is quite evident that even Hyde Park has not achieved this desired end for Britain. Inâ€" deed, there is good excuse for claiming that Hyde Park methods have fostered communism and givâ€" en communists opportunity for spreading their evil doctrines and adding numbers to their ranks. Certainly they have reds in Britain, and the theories expounded by these nitâ€"wits are just asi foolish and as illogical as any of the schemes out-l lined in Canada by the alien agitators. For inâ€"| stance, at London at the time of the opening of the King‘s Silver Jubilee celebration the communists' in London, England, used the occasion of a silver jubilee ball to promulgate their crazy theories. They gathered before the building where the ball was held and between the times of singing the| Internationale they chanted the words, "Your fine robes would buy us bread.‘" Had they been workâ€" ers, as they pretend to be, it would be the fact! that the "fine robes" had already "bought them bread." The "fine robes" meant money expendâ€" ed for material that was the product of workers and for labour that would bring wages to the workers. It is one of the silly ideas of the ignorâ€" ant theorist that fine raiment and lavish expendiâ€" ture by those with money means some sort of inâ€" jury to the worker. As a matter of fact the rich are never so generous to the workers as when they are spending their money. If the people who have | accumulated wealth would only expend their| money for fine robes and expensive food they| would provide employment and bring material’ benefit to the workers. This is a matter that has no connection whatever with the question of what may be the best economic system. Under the present systemâ€"and this is the only system that has yet been suggestedâ€"this is the system now in force in its basic elements in Russia, though cerâ€" tain abuses militate there against its fair Operaâ€" tionâ€"the one thing that the workers should conâ€"| sider commendable is the spending of money by| those who have the money to spend. There is no other plan that tends to the more even distribuâ€" tion of wealth. The hoarding of wealth, on the other hand, is one of the causes of the difficulties . that arise in the working of the system.

He would have done still better had he added that the Ontario Government would also drep the Heenan plan of building from Schreiâ€" ber to White River. At the conference in Toronto last week, Homer Sutcliffe, an able North Land engineer who has made a careful survey of the several routes proposed, condemned the section from Schreiber to White River. He believed it would cost $85,000 per mile, in place of $17,000 per mile for a stretch to link Schreiber with Oba. It is doubtful if there is anyone in better position to give expert opinion than Mr. Sutcliffe. He knows his business and he knows the country. When the question was before the Northern Ontario Assoâ€" ciated Boards of Trade Mr. Sutcliffe showed very plainly that he was not swayed by any other conâ€" sideration than the facts of the case as he Saw them. If Mr. Sutcliffe disapproves of the Schreiâ€" ber to White River section, The Advance is cerâ€" tain that it will eventually be proved that this route should not be taken. scores of other illustrations might be given to show that numbers do not necessarily mean proof of the virtue of anything. At the present time people seem to be overly eager to accept new, or supposedly new, schemes for righting apparent trcubles. The intense desire to better conditions tends to make people too ready to accept changes that in the end may prove worse than the original difficulty. Wildâ€"minded people whose opinions would be scouted in normal times are given hearâ€" ing toâ€"day. It may be very flattering to these selfâ€"styled experts who spring from nowhere in the night, but it is doubtful if it is any advantage to the country. Nearly everyone is ready to adâ€" mit toâ€"day that a large number of the public men in the limelight and in places of power compare but poorly with the public men of a few years ago. ThlS situation is due to the general public anxiety that leads to the fallacy that any change may be for the better. The friend who bases his opinion of "Social Credit" schemes (and by the way there are two distinect Social Credit plans advocated in Canada) should secure scunder basis than mere numbers of adherents. At the same time it may be added that the actual number of adherents has yet to be shown. for half a century, and expo it still draws victims.

The Supreme Court has ruied that the Naticnal Recovery Act commercial codes are unâ€" constitutional and so null and void. The ruling has had a serious effect on the markets, while inâ€" crease in unemployment, lower prices and other evils are expected to result. There is a general opinion in many quarters in the United States that the country will see even worse times than it has endured before recovery sets in again. Word from Tacoma, Washington, tells of the kidnapping of a boy there, the lad being held for ransom with the threat of death for the youngster if the police interfere or the ransom is not paid. The parents of the boy have begged the police not to take any steps in the matter until the child is safely back in his own home. This is a natural attitude to take in such a case, however favourable it may be to the kidnapper. The case surely shows the absurdity of Attorneyâ€"General Roebuck‘s proâ€" posal to make it a criminal offence to pay ransom or agree to pay ransom in the case of kidnapping. 1 Brands and Their escdpe was evigdentiy carelinl planned, and, it is believed, was en gineered frmw@n the outside by accom Corned Beef Sliced Head C heese or Bologna 16. 15C Cooked Ham »48© Round Steak or Roast 1b. 21° Choice Tender knights wetre heir swav,. thev BEANS 2 small tins 19¢ SARDINES â€" 4 tins 23¢ MIRACLE WHIP â€" 21¢ Jelly Powders LUSHUS â€" 3 pkegs. 25¢ Heinz Unsw i 1t rt} reful p| ays of old id barons eir orders ur shoppin 10¢ T Pickerel » 18 Fresh BONELESS Leg Veal Roast > Fresh ‘W' «it se :i PPA it The New Yorker:â€" of abundance, we even house for him.
