Telephone Adelaide 0107, H, D, Tresidder, representative, : REPRESENTATIVES IN 1).8, Powers and Stone Inc, New York and Chicaga TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1930 CAUTION ADVISABLE In the last few days the fire department has been kept busy responding to calls to deal with extensive grass fires, These fires were started with the object of getting rid of superfluous dead grass, but owing to the dry nature of the grass, they spread beyond the control of those who started them, and the result was a call for the fire department. It Is but natural that people will burn grass at this time of the year, It is no use advising that it should not be done, because that advice would not be heeded, But it should be possible to warn people to be cau- tious in starting grass fires, and to have that warning heeded, A grass fire, If left to burn, might easily set fire to nearby pro- perty, and cause serious damage before checked, The only method, if grass is to be burned at all, is to keep a very close watch on the flames, and not to leave them unguarded for a moment, This caution will be well worth while, as was shown in a re- cent case reported from Woodstock, where a beautiful and valuable cedar hedge was completely destroyed because a grass fire was allowed to get beyond control, It might have been worse, of course, but it was bad enough to be held up as a warning to all citizens to exercise more than the usual amount of caution in setting fire to grass at this time of the year. BEARING GREAT BURDENS The British budget, introduced in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon, de- monstrates to the world the tremendous burden of debt and taxation that is being borne by the British people. Snowden's bud- get will not be a popular one with a great many people in Britain, but he was faced with a situation that had to be dealt with gourageously, He found himself with a de- fleit of $70,000,000, and with the necessity of meeting new commitments amounting to another $150,000,000 or more. That being #0, he could not aveid adding some $230,000, 000 to the burdens of taxation already bes Ang borne by the British taxpayers, The British budget deals in colossal amounts of money. - It shows that Britain is saddled with a debt of seven and a half billion pounds, most of it due to bearing the financial burdens of her allies in the war, and at the same time contracting to meet or own obligations to the United States, Jt 1s a point of honor with the British peo- ple that financial obligations must be met, that the country must pay its way, and for 'that reason the budget will be accepted as an unpalatable, but necessary, dose of medi- eine. Snowden has contrived to lay burdens of 'new taxation on those who might be consid- y best able to pay, and that is a principle Svhich, in view of conditions in Britain, is the only possible course, Britain is facing hard fight. Some might say that, as of 'old, she will muddle through. But her ef- : is worthy of a more dignified appraisal, * It might rather be said that Britain is again t a magnificent effort to keep her head above water, and that in this fight she is showing that supreme courage and fortitude has, in the past, enabled her to over. me even more desperate obstacles than ose facing her at the present time, A WISE RETREAT ! At one time, it was expected that the fed- pal government would introduce in the of Commons a bill putting into effect he recommendations of the special commis. pn which investigated radio broadcasting, that this bill would be reférred to a spe- committee for its consideration. That however, has given way to & more sen. : re, There will be no govern. ent bill, but the report of the commission, d of a bill, will be referred to the com- \ And there, it is more than likely, ie report will, for the time being, at least, The government has had its ear to the and in this matter, It has been hearing £ the opposition to the principle of govern. ownership and operation of radio sting, and has decided that the sub- Ma ject is too controversial to be safely spon. sored on the eve of an election campaign, So it can be taken for granted that the 'government has retreated from its former position, and ,that private ownership and operation of radio will continue for the pres sent, That is as it should be, for a scheme of government control of radio broadcasting would be the height of folly under the pre. sent circumstances, SUCCESS ACHIEVED Although the naval conference will not be officially closed until next Tuesday, the ses- sion of yesterday brought its business to a close, the only remaining formality being the signing of the treaties which have been com- pleted, Premier MacDonald has good reason to be satisfied with the net result of the con» ference which he was instrumental in calle ing. True, the results have not been as coms prehensive as was expected, but they have more than justified the holding of the con. ference, From the British standpoint, the naval conference will mean a great lightening of the burdens of maintaining naval arma. ments, It Is estimated that within the next five years, the period covered by the agree- ments, the saving to Great Britain will be between $800,000,000 and $850,000,000, To a country which is already carrying a huge load of war delt, this means a great deal, It means between sixty and seventy million dollars a year less that the people will have to provide for naval purposes. That alone should make the British peo- ple grateful to thelr Labor premier, who has succeeded where his predecessors failed. His prestige is bound to be enhanced by his suc~ cess, and the position of his government, which has been in peril more than once dur- ing the last few weeks, is bound to be strengthened, if not In the House of Come mons, at least In the minds and hearts of the people. . DEVELOPING THE NORTH The announcement by Premier Ferguson of a large scale hydro-electric power devel opment in Northern Ontario, and of the prospective purchase of 100,000 horsepower to be used in that section of the province, means much to the development of Ontario's natural resources, One of the drawbacks of mineral industry development in Northern Ontario, close to the deposits from which the | raw material comes, has been the high cost of electric power, That factor has had a | good deal to do with the fact that much of the mineral wealth of the country has been exported in its raw state, instead of being | processed near to the mines. Under the agreement for the purchase of power, this will be supplied to Sudbury, for instance, at a rate of $22 per horsepower, & figure which compares very favorably with the rates charged in the industrial centres of old Ontario. In fact, it is lower than much of the power which is delivered from Niagara Falls and other centres of develop ment in the highly-industrialized sections along the shores of Lakes Ontario and Erie. In this plan, Premier Ferguson is making a sincere effort to carry out the pledges he gave in the last election campaign, that the development of Northern Ontario would be one of the chief considerations of his gov- ernment. When this cheap power is avails able, the north country should be the scene of a great expansion of industrial activity, bringing more and more wealth to the mine. ing areas of the north, and at the same time to the whole of the rest of the province, One can hardly guage the possibilities of a development of this kind, for with tremen- dous resources which are as yet barely seratched, and the means made available for processing these into articles of trade and commerce in a new section of Ontario, there is in this plan the germ of a greater and more rapid development in Ontario than has ever heen known in the past. EDITORIAL NOTES Some one has asked who is the member of parliament whom the western members delight in calling, "The Gopher." Perhaps some one who knows can enlighten. us, An ounce of work is worth a whole ton of shirk, The figure that is most worth improving is the figure showing the credit balance in the bank, It is comforting to remember that busi. ness is always bettor than pessimists would have us believe it is. ' The CPR, and CNR. are expressing their faith in Canada to the extent of $100, 000,000 being spent on improvements and extensions this year. If the Oshawa city council would express their faith in the city to the tune of $100,000, or one-tenth of one per cent of that amount, it would provide a lot of employment, . Aeroplanes are now being equipped with silencers, That is easy, There are no back seat drivers in aeroplanes. Those who are glowing with satisfaction over the results of the naval parley should not t that they still have to be ratified dy the Staten senate, Other Editors' Comment GERMANY 18 FREE (Kingston Whig-Standard) The winning of the record for the trans-Atlantic passage by Germany has caused increased attention to that country, This record goes to show that she Is endeavoring to re- gain her former position in the ships ing trade. It has been said that but or her bringing on the Great War she would have become supreme in this, She has gone ahead enormous. ly owing to the dock strikes In Great Britain, and Hamburg wis « huge port, It is now seid that & combination of the North German Lloyd Company und the Hamburg: American line will soon take place, which will increase Germany's pow er, But it Is also reported that a still larger combination of British shipping will take place which shows that the Old Country is on the watch, But the point which we want to make Is this that Germany's progress is not being interfered with by her having to keep up & big army and navy; she Is kept from this under the terms of the Versailles treaty, Jt seems rather an absurd state of afs fairs that while other countries are spending huge sums annually on "mad armaments" Germany Is not allowed to and so spends money In providing the means to capture the trade of the other countries. This ought to have some weight at the Naval Conference, LIFE'S SPAN (Washington Post) Medical authorities ure not all in agreement as to whether the span of life is being lengthened, Over a lon, period of years the youthful death rate among those who reach middie age Progress in the fight against com~ mon infectious diseases Is unmistak- able, but at the same time such ails ments as heart disease have assume ed greater importance among the causes of death, COMMENDABLE IDEA (Farmer's Advocate) "Every home needs a garden" mys I.
