Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN 1).8, . Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1930 A TIMELY SPEECH The remarks made by R, 8, McLaughlin, president of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, at the Canadian Legion banquet on Thursday evening, were indeed timely. They came as a breath of fresh air, for they brought hope, and a spirit of cheerfulness that, as he said, seems to be needed in this city 'at the present time, There were two main thoughts in Mr, Mec- Laughlin's speech, and they are worth en- larging upon to some extent. The first was that the present condition of unemployment is not purely local, but is world-wide, It exists in other cities, and in other countries, Some interesting figures can be quoted in this respect. Statistics presented in the monthly commercial letter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce show that the "peak" number of Canadians out of work is 250,000 or about one in forty, In the United States, a recent estimate gave the number of un- employed there as 3,000,000 which would be about the same proportion. Other state- ments, however, show many more than that number out of work across the border, British statistics show over 1,500,000 out of work, or one in every thirty. In Germany, there are 2,600,000 unemployed, or one in 26. Austria has 200,000 unemployed, or one in thirty-three. Thus the position of Can- ada, while not as good as we would like to see it, is not as bad as in many other parts of the world. +. The second outstanding thought in" Mr, McLaughlin's address was that conditions in the General Motors Company are better than "they were a month ago, there now being ap- proximately 5,000 people on the payroll, . And, he added, there was hope that this im- provement would continue. This is at least an encouraging note for the working people of Oshawa, and it is to be hoped that the confidence of the officials of the company in the future will be justified. Mr. McLaughlin, too, was quite sincere in saying that the officials of the company were doing everything that is humanly possible to make conditions better, That should go without saying. The company is just as anxious as are the men that it should be running to capacity, for the more men that are employed, the more business the com- pany is doing. The General Motors officials would be delighted to have business stepped up to the point that would demand produc. tion, and it is only natural that they would be straining every effort to accomplish this, § even'although the average man on the street may not be ready to acknowledge this, Mr, McLaughlin's appeal for a more cheer- ful and optimistic spirit. was timely. It is perfectly true that conditions are not what they were a year age, but it is also true that 'they will not be helped by wailing and pes- simism, The situation demands courage and it demands constructive effort to improve it, and these factors cannot be possible unless the spirit of cheerful fortitude prevails. in the community. : Agha ANTICIPATING FUTURE NEEDS LL RI TER Many communities in Canada at the pre. sent time are "anticipating their future needs, and are 'building local improvements and doing other civic work in an effort to tide their 'people over the temporary season . of unemployment. This, under the present circumstances, is sound policy in those places which have within them the potentialities for sure growth, Communities of that type can afford to undertake construction pro- jects to provide for their future needs, be- cause they are confident that when the swing of conditions turn upward again, the conse- quent prosperity will make it possible to pay for them without unduly burdening the com- munity. This is the attitude which many. citizens would like to see Oshawa take today. The civic leaders are all convinced of one thing, |" and that is the certainty of the future and development of the city, Every- points to that, and no city in Ontario is within it greater possibilities for the uture. SA "+ unemployment: situation, It should be suf- + figlent to convince them that it would be a + ' | a "have give ull encditag age the city fathers to wy ve in their attitude towards the wise move to push forward every possible piece of civic construction work than can be undertaken this year, There is reason for hoping that this year will see unemployment in the regular channels of industry back to normal before another year, History en- courages that view, for periods of depression have always come In cycles, have lasted for brief periods, and have then been replaced by greater forward strides than ever. That should be the logical sequénce to the present period of depressed industry, and it is there. fore reasonable to assume that before an- other year rolls around, there will not be the same necessity for drastic measures to pro- - vide employment for the workless, . + Under, these circumstances, this would be a logical year for extensive civic construc. tion effort. There are many projects which could be pushed forward to provide employ- ment on a large scale during the present year, and it would be much better to enable as many as possible of the unemployed to earn a living in this way, rather than waste the city's substance in charitable relief, This is. worth considering, and it is to be hoped that it will be taken into very serious and favorable consideration by the city coun. cil, NOT A FAILURE The naval conference has not been a failure, The agreements which have been reached are not, perhapk, so far-reaching as was expected when the delegates of the five great powers assembled in London on Jan- uary 21, but yet they aye sufficient to jus- tify the time and effort expended in reach- ing them, There are two agreements which have come out of the conference, The first is a three power agreement between Britain} the United States and Japan, in which they have definitely subscribed to a policy of naval re- duction and limitation which gives Britain and the United States naval parity, and al- lows Japan the naval strength which that country desired. This agreement by itself is worth while, for it is estimated that in the next five years it will save the three countries involved a sum of $1,000,000, To the harassed taxpayers of Britain, in par. ticular, this will be a tremendous relief, and will lighten the 'burdens of those charged with the finding of findncés to run the coun- try's affairs, ! The second agreement, a five power pact between all the nations represented at the conference, does not go so far, but it is, at least, a forward step, France and Italy have joined the other three powers in agreeing to an extension of the naval building holi- day started in Washington in 1922 for a further period of five years. This is much more than was expected two or three weeks ago, when it looked as if the conference would break up without any general treaty between all five powers, Thus the aims of Ramsay MacDonald, ex- pressed immediately after he became the premier of Britain, have been realized to some extent, He has been able to inculcate a new spirit into naval negotiations, and, what is, perhaps, more important, he has left the door open, so that when another conference is held at the end of the five year period, the world may have, by then, pro- gressed to the point where further and even moro drastic reductions in naval armaments may be possible, SPOILING GANDHI'S GAME The British government in India is play- ing a wise game in leaving Gandhi severe- ly alone, apd paying no attention to his per- sonal efforts to arouse the people of his country. The government has, it is true, taken action against some of his followers, but so far they have allowed Gandhi to do what he likes, and the plan is working nicely from their standpoint. Being allowed a free hand, Gandhi is find- ing that his campaign of protest against the authorities is having no effect on the masses of the people. , His game has been completely spoiled because he has been unable to figure in any spectacular episodes. His thought, 'perhiaps, was that the authorities would pro- secute him, thus allowing him to appear in of a martyr. This would have been in arousing the natives and would mn him an opportunity of making some headway with his plans. But he has ~been disappointed. The martyrs crown will not be allowed to rest on his head, and as a result no more notice is being taken of his campaign than if he were simply a fool- ish fanatic amusing himself in a hopeless Sifort to stop the tide washing up on the shore. = EDITORIAL NOTES Optimism does not cost anything, but its value cannot be counted in dollars and cents. Because a man is a human dynamo it does not mean that his clothes have been charged. Some of the singing we hear over the radio would not be quite so objectionable if they did not persist in calling it singing. Quebec's law compelling motorists to stop at railway crossings is so effective in reduc. ing accidents that it is worth copying. The election of Hon, T. A. Crerar cost only $46. Now it is up to some Conservative to remark that that was all it was worth, A Other Editors' "Comment GETTING TOGETHER (Chatham News) The encouragement of friendly feeling and the oops ire spirit between ' people of town apa country is attracting considerable attention in Ontario these days, It is of mutual benefit that men of the cities should know and un- derstand the men of the farms.

In addition to the thous. ands of statutes now hastily placed on the hooks, there are now over 11,000 volomes of Canadian Court reports and over fifty volumes of Canadian digests for consultation and reference. It is declared that no excuse is allowed the publie for not knowing the laws of their country. In view of the above we venture to say there ought to be.

William Times-Journal) It has for long been recognized that the remuneration paid to the judges of the various courts in Canada has not been on a scale commensurate with their services nor on & par with the salaries paid to other public officials, A year ago a committee of the house of commons was appointed to consider the matter and brought in a report on May 18, in favor of increasing the salaries of district or county court judges by $2,000 per annum and the salaries of su~ preme court judges by $3,000, No action has been taken on this re- port, At the last annual meeting of the Canadian chamber of com~ merce a resolution was passed ask- ing that the salaries of judges should be materially increased, The request has been meeting with support: throughout Canada, In the province of Ontario the surrogate court judges and the loc al masters are appointed by the province, Certain fees for thelr services are paid by the general public, but of these fess, actually earned by the judges themwelvew they are permitted to retain an insignificant fraction, The pro. vince takes the lion's share of these payments by the publie, For example: During 1920 in the province of Ontario the vari. ous estates pald In succession duty about $6,600,000 and fees to the judges aggregated about $180. 000, This would have been suffici- ent to pay to each of the judges the sum of $8,000, But, although these fees were ostensibly collect ed for the judges, the province of Ontario took these earnings and diverted about 65 per cent to other purposes, About forty years ago the senior Judges were entitled to retain these fees up to $1,000, At that time the purchasing power of the dollar was more than double what It is now; so that this would he equal to a payment of $2,600 to- day. Comparison with the salaries of Judges elsewhere and those of oth- er crown officials shows that the bench in Ontario is underpaid About 40 years ago the senior Judges were entitled to retain these fees up to #1,000, At that time the purchasing power of the dollar was more than double what it Is now, so that this would be equal to a payment of $2,600 to- day, Conparison with the salaries of Judges elsewhere and those of other crown officials shows that the bench in Ontario Is underpaid, About 20 years ago the senlor That Body of Pours By James W. Barion, M.D, COLD FEET When you hear of an individual as having cold feet, it is of course an- other way of saying he is scared or afraid, Now as a matter of fact when you are afraid or scared your feet do ac- tually 'become cold and this is likely he reason for the expression cold cet, When something frightens you the little nerves controlling the blood in the feet make these blood vessels contract, or partly close, aud so very little blood goes to the feet, 'The large blood vessels in the abdomen enlarge and take in nearly all the blood in the body, and thus there is very little left for the feet which are a considerable distance from the body. Now it doesn't have to be a sud- deg shock or fright that causes cold feet, Grief, worry, anxiety, or ners vousness, of a prolonged nature, can act in a similar manner, It is thus only natural to find that these neurasthenic individuals who worry about themselves, although they have no organic ailment, suffer greatly with cold feet, The circulation of bloed in the feet has an important bearing on the general health of the individual, and if you suffer with cold feet in win- ter and petapiring feet in summer, it is worth your while to try and cor rect the condition, As Jou know the body is manu facturing heat all the time, even when you are at rest, This heat, circulating by means of the blood, should keep all parts warm, includ- ing the feet. Yet it you sit or stand quietly in cold weather, particularly with light stockings and tight shoes, the amount of heat you are losing from the feet is more than your body is Fanulastuting, On the other hand hot applications to the feet, in the form of hot was ter bottle, the electric pad, or hoy foot baths, will actually raise the temperature c. the body, Thus we sce the wisdom of heat to the treet after exposure to cold or dampness, And yet even if you stand or sit during cold weather, and your shoes are not light you may withstand the cold and have warm and comfortable feet, if your heart muscle is strong, and your blood vessels have been trained to keep slightly dilated, The way to get this strong heart is by any form of exercise, walking, and particularly games . And for those who are not able to exorcise, warm applications to the feet will aid the circulation, and by taking blood from the head to the feet often prevent sleeplessness. Don't suffer with cold feet. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) Kitty: "Jack says he can read me like a hook." Phyllis: "You mustn't take jack too literally, dear.
