SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher. "EDITORIAL "Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we ream: His first, beet country ever is at home." 1 CAN THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDE JOBS FOR EVERYBODY? In one form or another that question is being asked by millions of people. The answer is simple--yes, if all the people will do exactly what they are told to do by the Government. © We are told that Hitler has abolished unem- ployment, Certainly he has. If a man is out of a job, he is put to work at once. If that work is not to be found in his immediate neighbour- hood, he is sent to the place where the job is to be done. And he goes without protest to-do the work assigned, because he knows that protest is useless, : It may further be added that Hitler has pro- © vided work for the men under his control for many years to come. All that his armies have destroyed must be rebuilt, the land that he has ravaged must be restored to fertility. y German methods provide plenty of work; but nothing is said as to the standard of living, or "the personal "development of the individual: There has been fituch misunderstanding both by the Government, and by: the people as to)the obligation that rests upon the Government ix the matter of finding jobs for all people. Youth Congresses may make demands; but the demands do not create the jobs. To. be insistent upon immediate Government action without any constructive suggestion is poor citizenship. On the other hand, we are discovering that when real emergencies arise, and the Government is determned to carry out a particular program, finance is not allowed to be a hindrance. The : present war is a case in point. Most important in all this hunting for jobs is the necessity for co-operation between the job _hunter and the Government, What work is to be done, and how can the jobless be fed to do that work? Modern employment is daily Lssaning more specialized. Many suggestions such as shorter _ hours and more shifts, are handicapped because of the inability of the unemployed to do the work thus made available. If we do not want German methods to be em- ployed in these matters, then those seeking jobs will have to impose self-discipline, personal de- velopment, and a willingness to undértake any work offered until better employment can be ob- tained. The two main-difficulties in finding jobs for all who want them, and will prepare for them, are: 1. Fear of increased taxation: 2. Unwillingness of the jobless to accept the job offered and do it cheerfully un until something better offers. The government can provide jobs for all, if all will do as 8 they are told. XX] ONE 'PRAYER PHILOSOPHY A little girl announced "I'm not going to say my prayers to-night, nor to-morrow night, nor the next night. Then, if nothing happens, I'm never going to say them again" How does that line up with--"Thy will be done," the only true foundation of prayer? \ of gensible reforms in our national life. IS THIS TRUE? "There is nothing that capitalists will not do, if profitable. =~ Democracies have taught their people (workers or corporation chiefs) to believe only in money." "They (the Nazi promotors) argue that the tendency in all democracies demonstrates that workers only want to eat and have work, and care nothing for national matters or individual liber- ty." These are German views as described by Dorothy Thompson, o 4 0 HEROES OF PEACE Midshipman Matthew Fontaine Maury craved adventure and it came to him a-plenty. He faced hardship, and when he was 33 apparent failure stared him in the face for his hip and knee were broken in an accident, and he could go to sea no 'more. But at that period his life work really Wogan, for he became the author of "Wind and Current Charts" These charts were of most practical ser- "vice to sea-going vessels. | in navigation voyages that used to take 100 days could be made in 76. That was in 1842, when wind 'and currents had much greater controlling power. 'David L. Cohn says in the Reader's Digest. ""Maury's greatness consisted not only in -his vision and imagination, but in his willingness to toil endlessly! himself that his theories might be- come realities." The whole institution of weather forecasts may be credited to Maury. In transportation by land, sea or air, in"agriculture, and in general industry weather forecasts are taking an increasingly valuable part. Long after the military despots have gained their bloodstained victories, there will be endless realms to conquer by patient men who will study the ways of nature, and help to fit humanity to work harmoniously with nature's laws, °o qo) o WELL INFORMED Nobody knows everything. Very few are ac- curately informed on a great variety of topics. Some of us are keeping in touch with the war. --Some of us keep posted on the latest dances. There are those who are seriously studying what can be done to improve economic conditions in Canada. Others are up-to-date on prize fights, baseball, horse races, ete. : All this and many-other types of information have a proper place in life. The only thing that should be remembered is that this is a very poor time to, be well up in jazz or sport, and entirely ignorant of the great events and tendencies that . "will shape our future lives. There is no need to be hopeless in the matter The only basis of hopelessness will be ignorance £ and ----dumbness on the part of our "citizens. - ope This is especially important to our young Poo: ple who will have to face the future no matter what conditions become prevalent in Canada. A serious effort should be made to become ac- curately informed as to actual living conditions, and to make practical suggestions for the im- provement of those conditions. By their proper use 2 The United States continued it di- rect controversy with the German Government and its Embassy in Washington over potential and threat- ened Nazi interference with the' af- fairs of the Western Hemisphere, Following the strong declaration by "© Secretary of State Cordell Hull in which he rejected the German charge that America's stand on the Monroe] Doctrine was "untenable" and bluntly "announced that its enforcement was not even subject to debate, the Ger-| man Embassy here has now issued a thinly veiled warning that the Latin- American nations had better begin to think of post-war trade relations with Germanized Europe. "The South American States," _the| Embassy bulletin declares, "must find a market for their products in Europe as a whole, otherwise their economic aching, will be, completely thrown out of gear. The northern part of the American continent - eannot purchase all the 'coffee, wool, cotton, wheat, oil- containing foods, eattle and frozen meat which the southern part is offer- ing. © "Therefore the interest of the American countries obviously lies in a rapid end to the European war, even if the end entails the defeat of Britain." _ It is not pitting this German pro nouncement in too clear words to x state that it warns the Western Hem- isphere that its welfare is bound up fn a German victory and that it threatens postwar reprisals if the American Republics pursue an un- sympathetic attitude toward the Nazis. --a Sports Equipment for Soldiers The following letter explains itself: Oshawa, June 26th, 1940 Mr, Geo.
