The cost of relief, the loss of morale to those on relief, the shiftlessness, the spirit of dependehce bred by relief, the bitter feeling that comes not only to those on relief, but also to those who pay for relief,â€"these are serious problems that will worry Canada for many a day. The political parâ€" ties appear to think they may be cured by the There have been many on relief who have done their very best to make their part of the burden as light and as brief as possible. They have desired to avoid as much as may be humanly possible the role of dependents upon others. There were men in Timmins who pleaded for work, relief work, any kind of work, so that they might not be a load upâ€" on the backs of others. Probably the majority were like that. It should be a pleasure to all to give them the necessary helping hand. But it is easy to understand the bitterness growing in the minds of many not on relief towards the shiftless and the scheming who have made a business of relief and a pastime of abusing those who providâ€" ed the relief{. That is another problem of reliei{ that is not perhaps receiving as much attention as it should. ed and striven all their lives to be independentâ€" who have had no better chance in any way than some of those on reliefâ€"must be tempted to give up the struggle and go on relief themselves rather than continue to work and pay and be called names in return. That is another problem of relief. Of course it is something for pride that Canada can say that none of its citizens have been allowed to starve during the depression. It is surprising how few other countries can say as much. But it is little thanks that the authorities or the country receive for this. That is one of the problems that relief has rajsedâ€"the fact that those on relief too often seem to feel a grievance against the governâ€" ment and the people after all that has been done for them. ~Never in history in any other country has there been such consideration shown for the unfortunate as in Canada in the last few yeats. Yet to listen to some of those on relief, the governâ€" ment and the country are fit only for abuse and hate. That is a major problem raised by relief. The attitude of many on relief seems an impossible so far as courtesy and consideration are conâ€" cerned, the "forgotten man‘" toâ€"day is the man not on relief and who has to try to foot the bill for reâ€" lief. In too many cases he is viewed as a knave and a fool, and there seems to be little hesitation in calling him these names. Men who have workâ€" Although the several political parties have anâ€" nounced the major planks in their platforms, none of them seem to have attempted to deal in conâ€" structive and effective way with the pressing proâ€" blem of relief. At that, "problem" is scarcely the right word, for relief has raised a whole family of problems to confront the country. There has been an epidemic of déaths among the optimistic during the depression and so it is doubtful if there are many people left so hopeful that they will believe that the many schemes of Hon,. H. H. Stevens to secure better ethics in business and industry will in this goneration solve the relief problems. It is certain that for some years reâ€" lief will be an absolute necessity for large numâ€" bers, even though plans like those of Hon. Mr. Stevens are workable and prove effective. The same fact holds true in regard to the hazy solution offered by the C.C.F. Relief must be continued until any of these grandiose schemes have Oopporâ€" tunity to show their effectiveness, or otherwise. As one manâ€"and he was not an Irishman at that â€"phrased the matter the other day:â€"*"Relief has reached a stage where it cannot be carried furâ€" ther and still must be carried along." Of all the solutions suggested by political parties fHon. Mr. Bennett seems to be on the most practiâ€" cal path in his plan for public works and similar enterprises. Work of any kind available will do more than anything else to lessen the evils of reâ€" lief. At this stage. however, even work will take some time to become effective in making relief unnecessary, and in the meantime relief must be carried on. Some years ago Hon. Mr. Bennett and Hon. W. A. Gordon appeared to be on the right track in the way of preventing the evils of relief from multiplying when they urged extended pubâ€" lic works programmes to give employment to large numbers. In this, however, they were opposed by the provinces, and the plans could not be atâ€" tempted without the coâ€"operation of all. Why did the provinces object to employment rather than relief? The answer is that they were appallâ€" ced by the prospective cost of such public works Toâ€"day they are more than appalled by the cost of relief. According to figures quoted recently by, a number of newspapers, relief has cost Canada in the neighbourhood of $150,000,000, with pracâ€" tically nothing to show for it except the fact that no one has been allowed to starve to death. e TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Qucbes Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 3%â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Timmins.

Thursday, July 18th, 1935 Che Advancee PROBLEMS IN RELIEEF Uniteg Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Yeat No doubt the people of Sudbury who heard the address, or heard about the address of Mr. East of the West, had a good laugh at his utterance. There is not a shadow of truth in the suggestion he made. The sulphur fumes at Sudbury may be deleterious to vegetation, though the courts have expressed doubt about that, but in any event there has never been a case suggested where human life was menaced by the fumes. It is all right to make the excuse that the yarn is in the communâ€" ! "If T was not able to manage under one system is | it likely that I am so clever that I can evolve a |whole new and better system?" If this question had been honestly asked by some of those at the relief camps, there would have been no Regina riots and no foolish further treks to Ottawa by "hunger marchers." The daily newspapers have recently carried letâ€" ters from widely separated points in Canada bearâ€" ing the same suggestionâ€"the idea that the govâ€" ernments should never have gone into the relief business. It may be idle to reply that governâ€" ments had no other recourseâ€"that governments could not stand back and let people starve. In Tuesday evening‘s Ottawa Journal there was a letter from a farmer in Northwestern Ontario. He described the "relief racket," as he termed it, and then he added these words:â€""If we must feed the women and children, well and good. T‘ll do my share, but put all the ‘wont works‘ into camps$ or in jail and make them do something for their keep." Premier Hepburn voiced the same idea in different language one day last week. One of the first problems that has to be solved must be looked after by those on relief. It involves a change in attitude on the part of the recipients of relief. They must get away from the vicious idiocy of the agitator and face the facts. They cannot at one and the same time be so helpless that others must keep them and so brilliant that with a few hazy words they can solve problems that appal the orâ€" dinary intelligent man. Were his friends, the communists, angry at Mr | East of the West? They were mad! They were| furious! Mr. East of the West had been stupid; enough to mix his addresses. He gave the righti story in the wrong place. The communists havei regular addresses prepared for their speakers. The one about the Sudbury fumes is for use inl British Columbia only. The one for Sudbury is‘ the one about the shooting down of coal miners in | Alberta. For British Columbia the right address tells about the persecution of the poor miners at | Noranda. For the Porcupine there is the tale o1 atrocities at The Pas, Manitoba. For British‘i Columbia there is the yarn about the tyranny and cruelfy of the furniture factories in Stratford,i Ont. Once a particularly foolish communist told | a Timmins audience something about the hardâ€"| ships in Nova Scotia mines. Later he found out| that many in his audience came from Nova Scotia. Was his face red? Eventually, he explained that; he had really been talking about the lumber work â€" | ers at the Sault but that the fascist police and the ' capitalistic press had misrepresented what he said, | Since then communists have been supposed to exâ€" ercise the greatest care to keep their addresses properly segregated. "Why should our audiences know what we are talking about? What right have they to know more than we know ourselves?" Such is their argument. Rev. Mr. East of the West will be properly reproved for his stupidity. He will be told in no uncertain way to confine his remarks, not only to things of which he knows nothing, but also to be sure that he is speaking to an audience that knows less. j | | l | | ! | Revy. Mr. East of the West was scarcely so forâ€" tunate in the way he mixed his addresses. Speakâ€" ing at Sudbury last week he told an audience there that he understood that horses and men dropped dead on the streets of Sudbury, bleeding from the mouth on account of the poisonous fumes from the smelters owned by the "exploiters of mineral wealth." The late Dan Derbyshire was a friendly and tolerant man and his error (if he made it in any other way than to found a happy story) would offend none and amuse all. The late Dan Derbyshire, who was a genia) speaker in his day, once told about two addresses he prepared for special occasions. One was to be delivered one evening to a gathering of Knights of Columbus, and the other to the social gathering of the Masons. Dan said that he got his dates mixed and astonished the Masons by a glowikg eulogy of the K. of C. He was warmly applauded for his address and was not informed of his misâ€" take until the following day. "You should repeat that address to the Knights of Columbus," Dan used to say he was told, "and come back again some other time and give us the Masonic adâ€" dress." ' magic of words.

When the politicians at Toronto take it upon themselves to order a magistrate not to do his plain duty as required by the law, it scarcely reâ€" medies the trouble when later the magistrate is ordered to proceed with his duty. The reâ€" versal of the first order seems to be little more than a second interference with the law. Magistrates should not be expected or alâ€" lowed to take orders from political partisans. THe enforcement of the law should be carried through impartially and fairly by officers who have no With the Italians marching to war on the Ethiopians, the Catholics and Protestants in Belâ€" fast trying to kill or wound each other, and the Nazis murdering Jews in Germany, it is a very hopeful or a very foolish person who insists that war is no more. ist oratory book, but Mr. East of the West should have particularly noted the special warning also in the book to the effect that each special story and fairy tale is for a particular audience hunâ€" dreds of miles removed from the locality of the incidents dealt with.
