THE OSHAWA. DAILY. TIMES, SATURDAY; APRIL 12, 1930 PAGE THREE aused to Waterfront by High Lake Level Legion Corner { glon's Vimy Banquet is now & thing of the past, but it is Everything went off smoothly, and the spirit of enthusiasm was an encouragement and an inspiration to the officers of the branch and to the distin~ guished visitors who were present. the banquet de monstrated the fact that the Legion bas now won a high place in the estimation of the prominent citizens ot Oshawa, for their appearance on the toast-list was in itéelf a token in the Legion n glorious memory, It nothing e of their confidence and the work that it is doing. The Ladies' Auxiliary was show. ered with congratulations on the splendid way in which they carried out their part of the banquet, 'was in every sense a sumptuols re- and with abundance for all, and the decora- tions, both of the table and stage, All in all, ev- ery feature of the banquet showed careful planning and organization, and the committee in charge, and particularly A."H, Power, the hara- working secretary, who did the ma. Jor planning and organizing, are past, elegantly served, were very striking. to be heartily congratulated, Incidentally, this was hold on Rotary Hall, had tend. tation, The size of the banquet, too demonstrated the need for & Legion hall to accommodate, ail the mem- bers of the branch, which continues to grow steadily. Several new mem- bers came in after the banquet, and there will be another list of new at the next branch meeting, to be held on applications to deal with Thursday, April 24, The band of the Ontario Regl- ment has kindly consented to turn out for the church parade on Sun- day evening at 6.30 and march with the veterans to the Simcoe Street The parade will assemble in the Armouries, and it is expected that it will be the larg- est church parade seen here in United Church, the last banquet the Legion will be able to At least fifty more tickets could have been sold there been accommodations, and when the next banquet is stag- ed. it will be necessary to secure much larger quarters in order to accommodate all who desire to at- This is entirely the result of the splendid reputation which has been made for the Legion fune- tions, and the branch will have to work hard to live up to that repu. By "REAR RANKER" many years, judging from the in- terest taken in it. All war veterans of the city, whether members of the Legion or not, are given a cordial invitation to join in the parade and church service, The telegram from Lt.-Col, L.R, LaVleche, expressing complete satis faction with the position of affairs before the parliamentary commit- tee, was loudly cheered at the ban- quet, The comrades were deeply sorry that he could not be present, but were highly appreciative of his devotion to the more pressing duty at Ottawa, The local branch executive fia meeting within the next day or two to formulate the definite plans for the building of the Legion Hall, Every member of the branch will have an opportunity to share in the project, and loyal assistance has been promised by the Ladies' Aux- iliary, The aim is to secure the maximum amount of subscriptions from the members themselyes be- fore seeking any outside assistance, and to supplement that by the hold- ing of a number of functions tn raise funds, The scheme is expect. ed to cost somewhere between $10,- 000 and $12,000, It will mean a great effort, but the objective han now been set, and the boys are keen to go "over the top." We never knew that Johnny Graves could blush, but when one of the ladies took him at his word and kissed the top of his bald head on Thursday night, he turned the color of a beet. Perhaps he did not suspect to be taken literally when he made the suggestion, The date of the district relly of branches has already been set, It is to be held in Whitby on Friday, May 0, and the Oshawa Branch is expected to turn out at one hundred per cent, of its strength. Oshawa has heen showing the lead to the whole province, and this must con- tinue. All the other branches are planning for large contingents, so that the Whitby Town Hall should be filled to overflowing. Lt.-Col. LaFleche has been sent a pressing invitation to attend, and in view of the fact that he had to disap- point us on Thursday night, he may make it a point to be there at the district rally. Col, Ackerman, provincial president, is also expect ed to be present; along with other provineial officers so it should be another big night.

KAISER CLAINS LEGATIONS ARE T00 COSTLY FOR CANADA Local Member Criticises Government For Extravagance / Criticism of the policy of the Do- minion Government in maintaining a legation in Washington on the grounds that it is extravagant and costly was voiced hy Dr, 7. E, Kaiser, M.P,, for thig riding, in the debate in the House of Commons on April 8th last. The local member expressed the opinion that too much money is being expended on Can- quoted by Hansard as follows: Mr, Chairman, before this item carries, 1 would Ie to make a few observations. We realize that ft {s a new thing for Canada to have entered this field and to have form- ed embassies and legations in other countries. Noverthéless we have the right to inguire into results and costs which arise in this coun- try through the maintenance of these Institutions. 1 would like to point out that Canada, with a popu lation of 10,000,000 people, maintaining a legation at Washing ton at 4 cost of $100,000 per year, In some respects we are not a great country; in other respects we are, As compared for Instance with the United States of America, we are not a wealthy country, The United States Is maintaining legations und embaseies in other countries, and the thing that strikes me as being rather strange is that this country Is spending $100,000 at Washing ton, yet Washington, representing the great wealth of the United States, exercises a certain degree of economy when ghe sends her dele. gates and ministers plenipotentiary to other countries, I have learned that the United States has appro- priated $24,000 for this service in Canada, as compared with our $100,000 for a similar purpose at Washington, Our neighbour main- tains Institutions of a similar char. acter in various capitals and at different costs. In Paris her In- stitution costs $97,000 per year: in London it costs $82,750; in Berlin, $70,000; in Tokyo, $65,000: in Rome, $45,000, and In. Madrid, $62,600, These are the figures of In same way as we have done, and at these various capitals her expendi. tures, as compared with those of this country, are very much limit od. 1 asked the authorities In Great Britain to tell me the costs of her legations, but T was not able to get them In particular. I find, however, in a goneral way that the largest amount she pays for an mine ister plenipotentiary ig £2,600; ft runs from that figure down ru £3,000, TI have not heen able to find where other countries which have had representatives abroay fot many years have spent sums as We have spent for the maintenance of legations. Why wo are called upon to set aside an appropriation of this size IT am not in a position to say, I am disturbed also by the fact that never in my memory have wo had so many troubles with the United States as we have had dur. ing the term of this costly lega- tion, There have been labour troubles, tarire troubles, lguor troubles, and other troubles more than we have ever had .befre ino the same space of time, I do not say that they are caused because we have a legation but the fact is that they do exist, At this moment we are faced with what I consider to he one of the greatest obstacles to business we over had to face; I refor to the new tariff proposals of the United States. Fifty-nine other countries of the world have complained about this taritf, but I have failed to read where Canada's minister plenipo- tentlary has taken a similar action on behalf of this country. -We are told that the minister made repre- sentations and that he concerned himself with the matter, but so far as I can yee nothing has been done. I realize that this tariff which now confronts this country will perhaps bring up the whole question of our attitude and our business relation- ship with the United States, and 1 want to say that I do not think anyone in that country should com- plain it Canada looks after her own Interests any more than we com- plain when the United States does the same thing, My point is that our discussion should be purely along business lines, and surely we have a right to complain of the business activities of the United States when those activities affect our trade, as they promise to do. Our personal feelings toward that country should be kept entirely apart from business, and I know of no one who entertains anything but a feeling of reasonably good will to- wards the people of that great country, That brings to my mind a little item which I read in the Globe of December 5, 1929. This is the re- ort of a speech delivered by the Prime Minister of Canada at Lon- on, Ontario, which speech TI also eard over the radio as it was boing deliverad. Many of tho matters dealt with by the Prime Minister on that occassion were handled with exquisite skill; many ot his senti- ments quite anpealed to me, hut nevertheless the Prime Minister gave utterance to an expression which #0 shocked me that I. left the radio and wrote it down in order to confirm it the following day. Now I want to read this to the Prime Minister and ask him (Contiaued on Page 11) ada's foreign embassies and he is Warmer Weather Causes Hope That Spring Is Here to Stay The warmer weather of today gives rise to the hope that spring is here to stay and that there will be no. more unwelcome snow. stroms such aw toow Oshawa dis trict by surprise last Monday night, The balmy April breezes and the warm sunshine cause one to think of gardening and out- door hobbles and sports such as motoring, golf, tennis, baseball and the many other pleasures which follow in the wake of spring. There are some pessimists living on this side of the international boundary line who cynically claim that Canada enjoys but two seasons, August and winter. This statement, cannot be seriously con- however for it is obvious that the temperate clime has the advantage of four distinct season each posses- sing some particular feature which adds variety and zest to life, There is no doubt the return of spring is particularly appreciated because of the rigors imposed by the cold winter, The mind must be sluggish indeed which 1s not quick- ened by the calls of the song birds who have arrived back In 'heir na- tive habitat after a sojourn in the south, the gight of bare earth being clothed in green verdure, trees breaking forth into bud, the honk- ing of wild geese flying north and the many other unmistakable signs to Indicate that winter's icy spell sidered by any patriotic Canadian has been broken, | CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS CONTRACTORS WERE BUSY One year ago today contractors were busy rebuilding the bridge over the Harmony Creek which way washed out in the spring storms in an endeavor to have the detour done away with before the great American union which has | J. stepped out Into the world in the! the tourist season was in full swing. | BEEDING STARTED The first farmer to start on the land was seen at work between Oshawa ond Bowmanville this morning, The land being worked was sandy and naturally had dri. ed before the heavy clay loam which Is seen on the majority of local farms, If the warm weather continues it is expected that farm- ors all over the district will be hard at work seeding within tne next week, REPAIR WORK STARTED The Standard Paving Co, has com menced repair work on the Simeos street north pavement from Alma street to Elgin street.

Canadian Materials In a statement to the press, Mr, Ferguson stressed the Abitibi Come pany has undertaken to make use of Canadian materials and Canadian la- bor in its plant construction and that the work should assist materially in relieving the unemployment situa- tion, as well as giving impetus to both industry and commerce. The company's construction, plus the transmission line which the Hydro will build and the $3,000,000 which is being sent. by the Province on the Janes Bay extension of its railway, means, in effect, that $30,000,000 will be expended on labor and materials before the end of 1931 Mr, Ferguson inferred that other powers lying behind the transconti- nental might, at a later date, be hoo- ked with the transmission line, and joined up with the Southern Ontario systems, "Too Late To Classify = GIRL Apour FIFTEEN OR more to help with general house- work on farm.

It would seem to be a form of Spring fever, The fire department are not 50 enthusiastic over the spring wea- ther because of the effect it has had. The record of fires in the last few days has shown that grass fires have been the cause of almost all their calls, It might be pointed out that the practice of burning grass is danger- ous if proper care is not taken. At this time of the year the grass is dry as tinder and burns easily, The fire department had two calls this morning to extinguish grass fires One to Roxborough avenue and the other to Gladstone avenue, AHOS AND ANDY FOR THEATRE FANS Broadcast To Be Received Nightly At New - Martin Theatre "Amos. and Andy" fans who find themselves undecided as to whether or wait. until their favorites have to go to the movies at seven o'clock done their rightly turn on the air, starting on Monday evening, will be able to do both, Ernie Marks has arranged with the Bowra Electric Shop to have installed in the New Martin Theatre a powertul nine-tube radio set, which, every evening at se- ven o'clock, Will tune in on the "Am. os and Andy" broadcast, and make it available, by strong: amplification, to all who are in the theatre, This new feature is to be started in the New Martin Theatre on Monday evening, and should result in theatre fans get- ting down there early so as to cajoy both the broadcast and the complete program of pictures, of ELECTION OF OFFIERS AT MOOSE LODGE Thurstlay was election night at Oshawa Lodge No. 825 Loyal Order of Moose.
