Pouers and Stone, Inc. New York and Chicago. ~ MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1930 in the efforts of the various delegations to justify their desires for naval strength in certain directions. The naval conference, however, opens tomorrow un- der auspicious circumstances. It was called, primar- ily, because Britain and the United States, the world's greatest powers, had reached a tentative agreement as to what could be done in the way of disarmament and reduction of navies. And since the day when the conference was called, there have been discussions and exchanges of views which have set forth the ideas of the other countries represented. These views have not all been in harmony with each other, but they have left open the way for compromise, for giving here and taking there, so as to make it possible for something tangible to result from the conference, The hopes of the world are centred on London. The people of the world will watch, with interest, and with some anxiety, the daily reports of the delibera- tions, will watch them with the hope that, when the final conclusions are reached, it will be possible to hail the London naval conf of 1930 as the great- est achievement of the ages towards world peace and the relieving of the common people of the burdens of taxation which they are called upon to bear in the name of a national defence. AGREEMENT AT LAST The Hague reparations conference is over, After years of argument and discussion, a basis has finally been reached whereby the people of Germany will pay to the creditor nations the amounts agreed upon as reparations for the war from which Germany emer- ged in 1918 as the loser, 'It is well that a settlement has been reached, because until that was accomplished there could be no real stability, economically or fin. ancially, in Europe, and the effect of the uncertainty of this situation would be world-wide, The reparations question has been settled, but not on the basis of the Treaty of Versailles which was gned by Germany and the allied nations at the close NEED FOR CLOSER RELATIONSHIPS A community consists of all the people in it. It cannot be progressive, it cannot be successful, un- less there is a close feeling of friendship between all the people unless it can eliminate all sectional ideas, all ideas of race or creed, and become a home of a people united to build up the community, : Applying this to Oshawa, there is a situation in this city which is worthy of consideration. In the southern section of the city there is a substantial community of people of European origin, of Ukrain- fans, people about whom the rest of the city knows very little and cares even less, It is a revelation to iningle with these people even for a few hours, and to learn something about them. We venture to sug- gest that it would be a complete surprise to most peo- ple totlearn of what they are doing, in their own way, go build up the life of the community in their section of Oshawa, and to find out that they have ideals of | Canadian citizenship which would do credit to those 'who call themselves Canadians. It would be a worth-while thing for Oshawa if there could be closer relationships between the so-called "Canadians" of the city, which includes those of all the English-speaking races, and those who are usu- ally referred to as "foreigners." True, they are for- eigners by origin, but they have adopted Canada as their country, and they are making a tremendous ef- fort to become worthy citizens of their chosen land, Those people who live in other parts of the city gre losing much when they scorn closer relationships with these Ukrainians, They are losing much per- sonally, and what is more important, the city is losing much by not having made fully available the contri- $ution which these Ukrainians can make to the come 'munity life, for community life means much more than gunning the civic affairs of the city, electing public bodies, of trying to secure new industries and more eople. hn Instead of the hand of friendship 'being extended to those people of foreign origin, it is quite usual to find the finger of scorn pointed at them, That is an attitude which makes for division rather than cohe- sion, which makes for division instead of solidifying the life of the city. Perhaps ignorance is behind this gttitude, and if so, then it can casily be dispelled, for the opportunity is wide open to all citizens to go down into, Little Ukrainia and join with the people there in their pleasures and entertainments. There is a wide ppen door for all who wish to go, and it would be a splendid thing for the city to find a genuine desire on the part of its people in other districts fo wend their way occasionally down South Albert Street and to foster closer relationships with those people who need, above all clse, the hand ef friendship and of good- will, THE HOPE OF THE WORLD Nhe eyes of the civilized world are on London, "England. Tomorrow, there will open in the House of Lords gallery, the most important international con- ference that has been held for years, second only in importance to the future of the world to the peace _ sonference at Versailles in 1929. At the conference mble in London, there will assemble the representa- lives of the five great nations, Great Britain, the United States, Italy, France and Japan, assembled there for a purpose which has for its ultimate objece tive the lessening of the burdens which humanity is bea b of the sc ih pm of war of terrible strength and effici- ne hopes of the world are centred on London, On the discussions which arc carried on there, and on the decisions and agreements reached, will depend the future coussc of the nations in naval armaments. 1f the settlement of this. problem were left to the average men and women of the countries involved, there would be only one result. Academic discussions as to parity, relative cruiser strength, abolition gof ticships, would be climinated, and would be re- ; _ placed with a common-sense determination to reduce Shaval armaments to such a point as would save bil- "lions oi dollars to the nations involved, and would wave all countries with only a minimum of strength, $0 that no country would have a navy that would mike an aggressive naval war possible. That would 'be the nature of the conference were it being con- ducted by the common people, for there is in the world today a hope and a will for peace such as never before has cxisted, and a desire to wipe out anything dhich is 'suggestive of warfare, or might be conducive 0 the outbreak of war. And yet it is hard to understand why the : should be atiy different from that.. The re- ses who arc meeting there are the repre- of these same common people who have jd fixed on feace.. Their actions aod deci- ald reflect the will of dle people. Yeg there the danger that ute doing the work for the people that will of the people will be overlooked, will be-sub- merged in the Wass of facts dnd figures put forward ' efforts to maintain ' naval con~ | naval experts and of the war, The claims against Germany have been reduced by billions of dollars in the after-war dis- cussions, claim that they won the war, but Germany, on the other hand, can claim tp have won in the arguments und discussions which have taken place since that time on the subject of meeting war obligations. However, the settlement has been made. None of the creditor nations will receive as much as they should receive, nor as much as they would like to receive. But there will be financial stability, The Germans know what they have to do; the allies know what they can expect to receive. And with that fixed basis, it will be possible for the world to settle down to constructive and peace-perpetuating activity in the knowledge that the victors in the war have learned to be merciful and charitable to the conquered people. A NEW YEAR'S DREAM (Ottawa Journal) The Journal had a dream last night, incited appar- ently by the fact that the Labor Government of Great Britain had created a number oi peers, and had be- stowed some knighthoods in Australia and New Zea- land, In our dream we seemed to be paying New Year's calls on various prominent Canadians who had been knighted in recent years. Among them were the following: Sir William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of the Dominion. Sir Edward Wentworth Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Sir Charles Saunders, creator of Marquis wheat. Sir George Howard Ferguson, Premier of Ontario. Sir Louis Alexandre Taschercau, Premier of Que- bec. Sir John W, Dafoe, editor of the Winnipeg Free Press (but on our way to him in our dream we sud- denly remembered-having heard that he declined an of- fer of knighthood some time ago). Sir Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Justice, an out standing son of Quebec, Sir Arthur Meighen, ex-Prime Minister, Vice-Pre- sident of the Canadian General Securities, Sir Robert Samuel McLaughlin, President of Gen- eral Motors of Canada, Sir Martin Burrell, Librarian of Parliament, and writer of the most charming prose we have. Sir James Wilson Robertson, Chairman of the Cana- dian Red Cross, long one of Canada's most valuable citizens, . Sir William Avery Bishop, V.C, greatkst ace of the World War, Sir Frank Dawson Adams, Vice-Principal of Mc- Gill University, an outstanding Canadian scientist, Sie Thomas Ahearn, chairman of the Federal Dis- trict Commission, a' great electrician, Sir John Bayne Maclean, publisher of MacLean's Magazine, and many other good periodicals, . The dream broke up then owing to a threatening apparition of Brother Nickle of Kingston, but doubt less our readers could suggest to us other Canadians to dream about whose names would do honor to any title. - EDITORIAL NOTES The St. Catharines Standard proposes the slogan, "A city hall by 1975 or bust." Oshawa, however, is ambitious enough to fix a much earlier date than that, The western restaurant which advertised, "If you think your cooking is bad, try ours," was at least trying to be honest in its advertising. A Hamilton magistrate told a man it was futile to argue against his wife, Many men learn that with- out being told by a magistrate. "We may be a little behind in our reading," muses E, J. P, in the London Advertiser, "but as we under- stand it, a search has now been started for the search- ers who flew north to seek the searchers who went _in search of the searchers who set out to search for the lost aviators." One thing about this cold spell is that the weather man has at last made up his mind the same why two days in succession. y "The talkies are promising to bea big factor in the: promotion of the English language throughout the world," says a contemporary. Yet there is a great outcry in Britain against the talkies, because those appearing in them are murdering the English lan. guage. : a---- Oshawa housewives are learning every day that the best way to save money in their shopping is to read the adyertisements in the Oshawa Times, Mr, Fotke, now he is in the Senate, may have a different opinion than when he was minister of ime ungration, The allies, in 1918, had every reason to: Other Editor's.

Yet Canada refuses to accept these hard-working, thriftly, law-abiding, German-speaking exiles from a lan of reactionary economics, PENSIONS FOR THE BLIND (Simcoe Reformer) With a view to some relief in the form of pensions for blind persons in Canada, a deputation rrom the Canadian Federation for the Blind will wait upon the Federal. Cabinet with the request that a Blind Per- son's Bill be submitted to the H at its next sessions While various forms of assistance have been pro- vided for the blind by the Provincial Governments, it is true that Canada is behind other countries in the mat- ter of caring for those who are suf- fering under this great handicap. Statistics show that only five per cent. of the blind population of Can- ada is self-supporting, which means that absolute poverty is the lot of the great majority and the others are dependent upon charity, friends and relations, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA (Sydney Bulletin) For years Canada's exports have largely exceeded its imports, so it has had a balance with which to meet its THAT in these days of keen compe- tition when every business concern is trying to give a little more quality and service at less price than their competitors, much attentoin must be paid to advertising. Volume sales are vital to the success of any business. Advertising through the printed page is the only kind of "advertising that creates more sales. Business concerns have only onc source of revenue with which to meet expensse ; that is profit on sales, Many a business has gone on the rocks b its has shown little or no desire to create volume by advertising. THE BETTER THAT QUALITY MERCHANDISE IS ADVERTISED THE BETTER IT WILL SELL. THERE IS ONLY ONE SURE WAY TO GET NEW BUSINESS AT A REASONABLE COST AND THAT IS BY ATTRACTIVE, TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING THROUGH THE PRINTED PAGE. That Body of interest and other liabilities abroad, Australia, on the other hand sells much less abroad than it buys, ung lives on the thin edge of financial despair, to the detriment of its pants. As a result, more or less di- rect, the Canadian Minister of Fin- ance has a reliable surplus, and when the debris of war had been mostly cleared away he began, in 1923, to reduce the public debt. Australia has the deficit habit badly, and has been increasing its foreign debt at a pace which makes a catastrophe seem imminent, f Bits of Humor CUE FOR APPLESAUCE Salesman (showing customer | sports stockings): "Just the t} {for you.

Institution made more rapid progress toward complete recovery than others who were {dle. Now you and I who have our mental health like to do work we enjoy and this is really the key note in the treatment of these cases by means of work. In one Canadian mental hospital in Saskatchewan, every patient physically capable of working, © kept employed the greatest part of the time. "Idleness is deadening and benumbing." Work is therefore the chief form of treatment In this institution, "Every nurse is expected to teach some form of work. Consequent- ly the patients are easler to handle eat better and sleep more sound- Iy." Every patient is studied Individ- nally, so that his work can be ad- apted to his particular "personal- ity." (1) Those who cannot be trust. ed with tools, and these are taught basket weaving, brush making and chair caning. : (2) Those who may use some tools, and these are taught cement work, bookbinding and printing. (8) Those who may be trusted with tools, and these are taught mental work, jewellery, carpentry, wocd turning and so forth. It fs not to be wondered at therefore that many of thése in- stitutions are curing 50 to 60 per cent. of the patients admitted.

Willys, who for more than ected the company's destinies until man of the board. "More than a year in the course of development, the Willys Six has been perfected after the most ex- haustive tests ever made with a pro- duct of Willys-Overland. These tests included thousands of miles over all types of highways in every section of the country and power tests on the steep mountains of Pennsylvania, Tennessce and West Virginia, Throughout all the tesst accurate re- cords of performance were kept by the engineers. "Accurate tests show the dynamic flow of power and the resultant out- standing records of acceleration, It will accelerate in high gear from $5 to 25 miles in less than 8 seconds, and from 5 to 50 miles in 21 scconds, Such a performance gives the driver an exceptional advantage in heavy traffic, whether on city streets or in speeding ahead of a congested traffic lane on the country highways. "The bodies are characterized by long and low-sweeping lines. The lines from the trimnarrow radiatcr to the carefully tailored rear quar- ters provide a decidedly streamline effect, The modish body designs, coupled with the rich color combina- tions, give the car a distinct appear- ance of quality, This quality effect is apparent not only in the exteriors but the interiors as well are notable because of the richness of the ap- pointments and the upholstery. "A splendidly balanced braking equipment operated by a single cross shaft is found in this new car. The brakes are 11 inches and are of the internal enclosed type with a total braking area of 148 square incchs The engineers point out the distinct advantage of this internal type over the external will be particularly not- ed in bad weather or when the wheel becomes wet, since in this new de- sign neither dust, rain, mud nor any foreign particles may enter and at- fect the brake lining. The efficiency of these brakes is seen in the decel- eration tests which with an exceeds ingly light foot- pressure brings the car to a stop in 19 feet when travel ing at a speed of 20 miles per hour. An emergency stop may be made in a considerably shorter distance by in- creased pressure on the foot brake, "The mounting of the engine is worthy of special comment. At all four points of its contact with the chassis, rubber insulation is émploy- ed which results in smoothness, ab- sence of rumble or minor vibratoin, and renders the car extremely plea- sant to drive. In lieu of the com- mon practice of two sheet metal plates, one at the front and one at the rear, the new Willys six employs a metal plate at the front which at its otter ends is carried on fubber washers.
