RELIEF WHERE IT 18 NEEDED Aommp----y The speech which Alderman Preston made while the alty eouncll was discussing the local rellef situa- tlon on Monday evening was not exactly a happy ong, Discussing the possibility of large demands upon relief funds during the coming winter, Alderman Preston claimed that it was unfalr to ask the men whe had regular employment on city gangs to share the work with men who had been employed In the factories "for five or sx months making big wages" He went on 10 say that there were many now aps plying for relef whe had been "living high all sum- mer, paying instalments on a piano, a radio or u ear And he wound up with the statement that "those who have been living beyond thelr means way be taught # lesson" To take an attitude of that kind is tollose the whole perspective of the relief situation, Wiat relief of ficlals need to be concerned with ls not the causes of the need for relief, but rather the actual need its sell. But, in considering Alderman Preston's states ment, it is hardly fale to say that the factory men to whom he referred had five or six months work wt high wages, In most cases those now in dire straits had little more than three months steady work this year, and thelr wages were not so high that they could meet the obligations piled up against them dur. ing last winter snd lay aside sufficient to tide them through' the long Idle season, The objection taken to working men paying instals ments on plancs, radios, and cars ly also somewhat unfalr, Jt must be remembered that in the early part of the year, prospects looked good, and there was plenty of employment, And one could hardly blame some of these people from seeking a litle pleasure and joy in life, and buying a plane or a radio sot, or, in isolated cases, oven a car, At the time the purchases were made, they probably ex- pected 'the good conditions to continue, and that it would be no hardship to them to pay for those things whieh meant bringing a little bit of sunshine into a life of hard work, "Instead of being condemned, these people should parhaps be helped over the hard tues, because they have shown that they wish to have thing in lle more than the mene. drab. o of dally toll, to Le meant And one would | by teaching these people & lesson, os Alderman Preston does not suggest that Wr thelr families 'should be allowed to starve, tever the causes avhich contribute to the present need, these people are human beings, ahd plain humanity revolts from the idea that they should be "taught adesson" in the only possible way in which it could be taught, But knowing Alderman Preston an we do, we can Dardly belleve that he wishes to infer that the type of cases he mentioned is typical of the Oshawa fam- flies who, by dint of belng uhable to, secure: work, Shrough no fault of their own, are forced to the ex- Sremity of accepting relief, There are, of course, al: svays a few people who think that the community wee them a living, people who are almost professions ale at the art of yeguring relief, J'hese, however, are sory much in the minority, WE would venture to suggest that they constitute less than one per cent of the number of families in need, And these people wre already 30 well known to the relief authorities, that there Ia little possibility that they will be al: 10 take an unfair advantage of any celiel are available, : {8 needed at this time is not caustio eritlalsm of the people who are in need. Rather is It ngoes ary that those in places of authority should concen: A thelr attention on the best methods of handling the relief problem which is pressing, so that no fam: fly in Oshawa this winter need be brought to the weorge of starvation because of the lack of employ: ment, AN UNWANTED PEOPLE It would seem that the Mennonites who are nh wd in Russia, and threatened with exile in Siberia, Bre people without a country, The appeal made by rN Hon, Mr, Forke to the western provinges to ace L gept them as settlers has met with a cold response, ther Alberta, Saskdtchewan nor Manitoba has any eu to assume the responsibility of accepting thew, gvon with assurances that they will not become a on the proviage, And, although an appeal has been nade to Ontario to offer them a place of refuge, it is not very likely that this province will be any nore: willing than the others to open Ita doors 10 them, © tis an uniortunate situation = for the Mennonites, As has been pointed out 'previously in these columng, the Mennonite communities already existent in Ow farlo have been industeiony, thrifty and law abiding, people yolug about thelr business, living their ho In their own way, and causing no trouble to BORS, rr .

for seeking to 'uvold the aggravation of & sltuntion which they A can hardly deal with adequately as Jt is, © he humanitarian appesl of Mr, Forke ls one which has wn strong appeal to sentiment, but, when viewed In the light of cold reason and common sense, It can be sald thet the Mennonites are being refused, not beasuse they are not wanted, but rathef because it might not be the best thing for themselves to come to Canada at the present juncture, There Is a long, hard winter ahead, and they might, if they came here At present, preve to be a serious burden to the pro- vince which. give them shelter, CO-OPERATION FOR PROSPERITY The drastic steps which are being taken by Presi dent Hoover to promote the prosperity of his couns try, and to overcome the paychologlca! effects of the recent stock market slump, are commendable, In that they lay on the necessity of close co-operation between all the leaders of business and Industry, His conferences with the lenders of transportation and finance have already brought results In the form of nosurances from these branches of the country's eco+ nomle life that they are prepared to do thelr share In providing for greater industrial snd construction activity, Although there Isa tendency in the United States, us well as In some sections of this country, to be pessimistic over present conditions, there have been sufficient evidences that conditions ure basically sound to show that pessimism Is unwarranted, The cosoperation which is being given President Hoover, howevar, Is a practieal measure to promote a feeling of greater confidence, and at the same time, to pro * vide employment opportunities which will remove the [oaling of depression which has been created, This gosoperation cannot full to have good results, since It will bring an Increased feeling of security und prosperity, und will provide for an expansion of business activities, Although this country has not suffered to anything like the same extent as the Une ited States, it might not be out of place to suggest that & similar line of action sponsored by the Pre. mier of Canada might do much to promote a strong» ur feeling of optimism than Is apparent at present, ---------------------- UNSATISFACTORY REPORTS The report of the Canadian department of trade and commerce for the seven months ending with Oc. tober ean hardly be considered satisfactory to this country, For some years past, it has been possible for Canada to boast of a considerable balance of exports over imports, and this favorable trade bal ance has been one of the contributory factors to Canada's prosperity, This year, however, the balance has swung the other way, until, ut the end of October, it stood at $85,000,000 against Canada, This means that the peo- ple of Canada bought that amount of foreign goods In excess of the amount of goods produced in Cans ada and sold to other countries, Apologists for this state of affairs have thelr excuses ready of course, and claim that it is due to the deeline in wheat ex- ports, There may be a certain amount of truth in this, for the smaller wheat crop of 198, and the holding back of that crop by the wheat pool, have had their effort on the total of imports, Yet a closer study of the situation shows that this alone is not to blame for the unfavorable trade hale ance, An analysis of the figures reveals that Canada has ingreased its imports by $21,000,000 a month since Marth, while in the same period the exports have Ingrensed by only $6,000,000 a month In the same pe- riod, This gives the key to the unfavorable trade bals anee, It Is simply that the people bf Canada are buying too much from other countries, are buying an ever<dnereasing volume of foreign products, instead of the produsts obsthelr home industries, It would appear, therefore, that the remedy lies in thelr own hands, They need to have a greater faith in the pros duets of their own industries, a practical faith which will lead them to spending thelr money on home pros duets rather than, imported products, so that the trade balance may be made to swing back in Canada's favor once again, Just ay much by a deerease of im. ports as hy an increase In exports, CANADA MAY SUFFER The government of tha Argentine Republic has ane nounced the signing of an agredent with Great Bris tain whereby the wheat of the Argentine Republic will be exempted from any protestive duties or res steletions imposed by Britain on countries outpide the Empire, This means, ih effect, that the Argentine will, so far as wheat is concerned, be treated exactly as If that country were a part of the British Empire in reapect to trade preference, This action on the part of Britain harlly seems fair to those countries within the Empire which have embarked on a campaign for increasing trade within the Empire, and opening up greater markets for the products of Great Britain, Canada Is vitally inters osted in this matter, more interested, perhaps, ghan any other part of the Empire, because the Argentine Republic is Canada's greatest competitor in the Bris tish market for wheat, It is quite likely that, should there come a time when Rritaln had a duty on wheat produced outside the Empire, this country would sufs fer an a result of the open door "extended to the South American country \ a EDITORIAL NOTES Having suffered a more or
