TORONTO OFFICE 518 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street. Telephone Adelaide 0107. H. D. Tresidder, representative. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER. 15th, 1930 GREAT NEWS The announcement made at the joint meeting of the city council and the directors of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce last night. to the effect that an agreement had been definitely completed and signed with the Coulter Manufacturing Company to es- tablish a new plant in the city of Oshawa is the most important industrial announcement made to the citizens for a considerable time. The Coulter Company of Toronto, of which the company coming here is an expansion, iz well and favorably known as an old-estab- lished firm manufacturing copper and brass goods. The project which has resulted in the decision to erect a factory here is the result of long negotiations between the Chamber of Commerce and the principals of the.com- pany, and the fact that these negotiations have been brought to a successful conclusion is a source of much satisfaction. The encouraging factor in the announce- ment is that work on the new factory, to be located on a site adjoining the Skinner Com- pany's plant on Simcoe Street South, is to be started almost immediately, and that as quickly as the building can be erecved, manu- facturing operations will be started with an initial staff of approximately one hundred men. This will mean much to Oshawa, since the industry is of a type which will not suf- fer unduly from seasonal periods of slack- ness, but is, on the other hand, one which can be expected to show reasonable growth and development in Oshawa. * The Chamber of Commerce and the city's industrial commissioner are to be congratul- ated on their success in securing this indus- try for Oshawa, particularly as it follows other announcements of a number of sma)l- er industries which have decided to locate here, and also because of the remarks drop- ped at the meeting indicating that there were other excellent prospects in the pro- cess of development. All of these industries are coming to Oshawa at a time when stimu- ulus is needed to the city's industrial life, and there could not be any announcement of a more welcome character than that of this splendid addition to the industies of the - ommunity. REASONED OPTIMISM The message of H. A. Brown, vice-presi- dent and general manager.of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, issued yester- day, should be an encouraging message for the people of Oshawa, who are so largely de- pendent on his company for their prosperity. The most important feature in the statement of Mr. Brown is his assertion that every- thing points to a great improvement in busi- ness conditions in the automotive industry in the year 1981. His application of this to his own company is expressed in the follow- ing terms: "Ag far as General Motors of Canada is concerned, I am not at all dubious. 'We are preparing very definitely to wid- en our market in Canada.. While others . are withdrawing, we are redoubling our efforts and spending more money than ever in the building up of our field force. We have added scores of dealers, and our objective is the addition of 700 more." There can only be one result to this stup- endous effort, granted, of course, that Mr. Brown's estimate of future business condi- tions is correct, and that should be a definite increase in the production of automobiles in Oshawa. That is the point which most vit- ally concerns the working men of this com- munity. That is the point on which Mr. Brown lays the greatest stress in his mes- sage. ; Mr. Brown's prediction of better times is not the mere haphazazrd guess of a man sitting at a desk. There are definite reasons behind his optimism. He has travelled a- cross the Dominion, probing into conditions and analysing the future prospects of the market for his industry. And he finds, af- ter extensive investigations, that the upward march has started, that the future looks bright, and that the year immediately ahead of the automotive industry promises to be a good obe.. The people of Oshawa will be overjoyed should his optimism be fully justi- fied by results. - We can say, at least, that the executive of the General Motors of Can- ada are doing their very utmost to stimulate business for the local plant, which means stimulating employment for the local work- men, and 'every citizen of Oshawa will join in hoping that their efforts will be rewarded in full measure, : ; -- OSHAWA IS ON THE MARCH The announcements made at last night's dinner of the Chamber of Commerce added another step forward to the progress which the city has been making industrially, in re- cent months. And it is a bigger step than any taken for a considerable time. Oshawa is on the march, We say this with good reason. 1980 has been a depressing year in some respects. In others it has been the most encouraging year the city has had for some time. The harbor has become a reality rather than a dream. New industries, some of them small, with prospects of growth, some of them large, and well established in their markets, have come to the city, adding to the potentialities for industrial employment. And some of ok industries have necessitated the erec- tion of factories, thus providing further work for men who need it. Oshawa is on the march, "The report of H. A. Brown, vice-president and general manager of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, dealt with in another article in these columns gives hope that bet- ter times are in store for the automobile in- dustry, which means so much to the city. The fu'fllment of these hopes is the great- est need of the city, and the naxt year may see them realized. Oshawa is on the march. Two or three months ago, there was a spirit of gloom and depression in the city. Meetings of unemployed workers were being held daily. The atmosphere was anything but encouraging. That feeling has, to a large extent been dispelled. Some hundreds of men who were then unemployed are today working, earning salaries with which to maintain their families. The back of the de- pression has been broken. The clouds are drifting away, leaving the clear blue sky with the sun shining through. A spirit of hopefulness is growing and-growing, to send Oshawa forward to greater progress than it has ever experienced before. Oshawa is on the march. That is the spirit in which the people of Oshawa should face the future. They are a progressive people. True, they have had their ups and downs, but a city like Oshawa must have people who are willing to work together in joint effort to keep up the march of progress. Now that the first steps for- ward have been taken, there must be no slackening of effort. With the city council and the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce giv. ing virile and aggressive leadership, let every citizen join in the advance movement, each playing his or her part, be it large or small, in the general march forward. As we work together, as we strain every effort to make our rightful contribution to the future of our city, so shall we all reap the benefit. It needed a period of depression for the whole of Canada to bring to the forefront the possibilities for Oshawa, for this city is now marching ahead in the van of all cities, winning new industries where other cities are at a standstill in this respect, extending its facilities for giving service to both old and new industries, and, what is more im- portant, building up a spirit of pride of achievement, of determination to co-operate to make the future even brighter than the most optimistic see that it will be. Oshawa is on the march. And we can keep it on the march by ex- ercising that spirit which has helped to place the city in the favored position which it is occupying today. * THE SOVIET RED HERRING Conditions must be taking a turn for the worse in Soviet Russia. The reason for this conclusion is that the Soviet leaders are hold- ing up before their people the bogey of an at- tack on Russia by the combined forces of France and Great Britain, These two coun- tries, says the charge from Moscow, are plot- ting against the Soviet, and are preparing® for a gigantic war against the Russian people. To people of the British Empire, and of France as well, these accusations are ridicu- lous to the point of madness. Nevertheless, past experience has shown that there is method in this madness. It has been true that whenever the Russian people have be- come restless, have shown signs of rising up in revolt against their constituted leaders, the scare of a foreign invasion has been sent up as a smoke screen to hide the true con- dition of international affairs, and as a means of keeping the people within the bounds of the desires of their leaders. ' That seems to be true of the present scare. One might well use the apt illustra- tion of comparing the people of Russia to the members. of a family who frequently have their own family squabbles, who fight with each other but who, on the nrst threat of outside interference, units to repel the inter- ference of the invader. This method has been used time and again by the Soviet lead. ers. By dragging the red herring of foreign invasion across the trail of the dissatisfied masses, they are able to secure a new unity, a new spirit of submission to the recognized authorities, and so the merry game of ruling by methods akin to slavery is continued, so the people of Russia are fooled into believ- ing that their only hope for safety from in- vasion lies in the extent to which they sub- mit to the strictures of an autocratic gov- erning body worse than anything known in the days of the Czars. - : ' Other Editor's Comments CANADA'S SOUTHLAND (Aylmer Express) Mention was made in this column last week that a small crop of cot- ton was successfully produced in Norfolk County this summer. The editor of the Farmer's Advocate rather pessimistically remarks that such crops as sweet potatoes and cotton will only add to the farmers' grief. We hardly see the force of such an argument. Something new in agriculture, combined with the old established crops, may yet be the salvation of the Canadian farm- er, and it will do no harm to do a litle experimenting with the soil. The Malahide farmer who grew sweet potatoes secured 60 bushels from half an acre, and sold his crop at $2 per bushel. This certainly dia not add to his grief. He only regrot- ted that he had not planted more, for he found a ready sale for his crop. AFTER THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE (Montreal Gazette) Mr, Bennett made his proposal as soon as the conference assembled. He asked for a quick reply and Mr. Snowden gave it, If the Bennett plan is not accepted it is rejected, whether the rejection be softened by alternative proposals or not, It seems therefore that the Canadian Prime Minister is to return empty~ handed, saving and a¥cepting such more or less impracticable under- takings as the British Government has already outlined. What is to happen then? Obvious- ly the bonds of Empire will not be any stronger after the rejection or a plan which was something far more and far higher than a mere Imperial gesture. The situation will then be that the self-governing Dominions are unable to look to the Mother Country for economic co- operation based upon anything bet. ter than a discredited free trade policy. These same Dominions, un- der the proclamation of the last preceding conference, has been guaranteed an equality of status with each other and with the Unit- ed Kingdom. This was the great achievement of Mr. William Lyon Mackenzie King and those who shared his aims and outlook. To these Dominions, each enjoying vir- tual independence under the pro- clamation of 1927, Mr. Snowden says, in effect: 'Great Britain will go her own way and look after her- self. You can do the same." What is to be the commercial and political future of Canada in such circum- stanfes? Has Mr. Snowden consider. ed this, or, having considered it, does he regard the matter as of any importance to the Empire and fits well-being? A magnificent attempt has been made to bind the British family of nations more firmly to- gether. The failure of that attempt may be much more far-reaching in {ts consequences than Mr. Snowden and his colleagues realize, particul- arly in view of the work done at the last conference. Bits of Humour Member of Anti-Gambling Lea- gue: "I will not say I have never gambled. I once bought a ticket in & raffle for my wife." Member of Audience: "So that's how you got her, is it?' ' This dialogue was between a small girl and the proprietor of a corner shop. "A large tin of dalmon please, and will you book it?" "I think there is some mistake. Your sister came in for one a quar- ter of an hour ago, Surely your mother doesn't want two?" "Yes, it's all right. She sold the other one to go to the pictures." ECONOMICAL SUBSTITUTE "Here comes the parade and your Aunt Helen will miss it? Where is she?" Mary--"She's upstairs her hair." Mamma--"Merey!

A hunter who was well known for his happy way of looking at things and giving a humorous turn to any serjous situation, was one day lost In the woods with a companion, As night came on they made camp; but although they were hungry they had shot no game, and had nothing to eat. With a perfectly serious face, this fellow looked at his companion and said: "If we only had some ham we'd have ham and eggs, if we only had some eggs." Bits of Verse THINK NOT OF FAILURE Exodus IV. 8, "And the Lord said unto him, 'What is that in thy hand?'." Oh thou art called to labor in the service of God the Lord, Let it be high or lowly, with hand, or brain, or word, Think not that failure awaits thee; that God has given thee naught Wherewith thou mayst win in the struggle, and compass the end thou hast sobght. For the Master delivers to every man some talent great or small, Just what each needs for his work in life He giveth unto all. Though it be only a simple thing like Moses' rod of old, Yet with the ald of God's power it may work wonders untold! So go in the strength He giveth thee, and e what is in thy hand; Lean on His wisdom in difficulties, and listen for His command. For the talents that God has given thee, though many they be, or ow, If used in His service will blessing bring, and peace to thy own soul too. --Elizabeth Cameron VEY J. A. LIVINGSTON, EDITOR OF THE RUSSELLVILLE (ARKAN- SAS) COURIER - DEMOCRAT, SAYS: "To spend or not to spend' is a problem debated by many persons during the present era of business depression. If the question is pond- ered by one who has been adversely effected by the drouth or the general depression, especially if he has no resources to tide him over the de- pression or until another crop sea- son, then unquestionably the only sane thing for him to do is to re- trench--to deny himself the luxuries, the non-essentials, the little 'extras', or some anticipated trip or pleasure that he can well do without, If the problem be debated by one whose in- come has been in no way effected by the temporary depression, then he should go right along spending as usual, or a little more freely, Such a course will tend to relieve the de- pressed conditions which, if they con- tinue, may ultimately effect him, "The wage earner or salaried per- son who still holds his job and has suffered no reduction in pay, the per- son with a fixed income from invesi- ments or otherwise, the landlord whose houses are still occupied -- these and many others have suffer- ed in no way whatever by the drouth. They should spend as usual. In fact, lower commodity prices should en- able many persons to buy or enjoy things they have not felt able to af- ford before. - When such persons be- gin to hoard their money merely be- cause of the talk of hard times, they surely encourage a continuation of conditions which may ultimately re- sult in a cut in their own salaries or wages or the actual loss of their jobs, in reduced dividends from invest- ments, in lower rentals for property owners, and a widespread depression that will engulf everyone. "In the drouth section farmers es- pecially are hard hit. Next to them business and industry have suffered and will continue to be depressed. We are glad, however, to note the tens dency of employers to 'carry on' with no reduction in wages or number of employees, even though they sustain a loss in doing so. They know that a large scale dismissal of employees or cut in wages would but augment the unemployment situation, curtail the purchasing power of the pep- ple for merchandise, manufacturtd goods and all manner of commodities and inevitably lead to actual 'hard times' such as most of them have not known in the past, "UNTIL CONDITIONS RETURN TO NORMAL, PINCH THE COR- NERS IF YOU MUST, BUT IF YOU ARE IN THE FORTUNATE CLASS THAT HAS ACTUALLY NOT BEEN EFFECTED BY THE DROUTH OR THE BUSINESS DEPRESSION, GO ABOUT WITH YOUR HEAD UP, SPEND" AS YOU HAVE BEEN ACCUSTOM-. ED TO SPENDING, WHETHER IT BE ALL OF YOUR INCOME OR MORE OR LESS, AND YOU WILL MAKE A VALUABLE PSY. CHOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE RETURN OF NORMAL.- cy." oy by C. H., Tuck, Opt. D.

The Editor of The Oshawa Times, Dear Sir: The following figures may be of {nterest to the community in gen- eral, on this, the anniversary of one of the most momentous dates in the known history of the world--Nov, 11th, 1918---Nov. 11th, 198380, It is estimated that, approximately, the number of men killed in the al- lied armies alone amounted to ten millions: Were it possible as assemble this number of living men, and march them four abreast, three feet be- tween each row of men, at four mils per hour, it would take nearly THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1930 15 days, night and day, (24 hours) for this column to pass a given point. 3 Is not this one factor alone, apart m unnumerable others, sufficient to compel those who are responsible for starting war, to transfer their mentality towards the preservation of the world's peace?

Leaders Confer in London on Problem London, Nov. 15.--A group of leading British and American financiers are here and are un- derstood to be discussing a pos- sible moratorium on world war debts and consideration of world financial problems, particularly the distribution of gold. Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, was the principal British conferee. On the American side were J. Plerpont Morgan, Owen D. Young, author of the Young reparations plan; General James G. Harbord, of the Radio Corporation, and George L. Harrison, governor of the Federal Roserve Bank of New York. Harrison arrived in London vesterday to join the other finan- clers, who have been here for sev- eral woeks---~the Americans, In fact, for several weeks longer than they expected to be when they arrived. So important are their meetings, is is understood, and so great their desire for secrecy, that they have been cloaking their conferences as private visits--dinners, luncheons and the like. The opinion was ventured in American quarters that any action which might be taken by the United States regarding war debts would be based upon a decision reached here. : The fact that Young has visited United States Ambassador Charles G. Dawes, himself a financier of note, and has conferred with him at length during the last few days, has emphasized the belief that im- portant conversations wero pro- ceeding In which the United States might be interested. It was understood nome of the financiers concerned would admit anything regarding th p pi ig g eir confer. PRELATE PLEADS FOR CHURCH UNION Archbishop of Canterbury Is Disappointed at Stand of Other Denominations London, Nov, 15.--The leaders of the Church of England, the Archbis- hops of Canterbury and York, yes- terday discussed the prospect of a vast union of Christian Churches. Both, however, emphasized the dif- ficulties of misunderstanding between Anglicans and English Free-Church- men, or "Nonconformists," - The Archbishop of Canterbury, ad. dressing.the lower House of the Con- vocation of Canterbury at Westmin ster, referred sympathetically to such a union, and said it was possible, maybe in our own time." { "The prospect is opening up before our eyes," he said, "of groups of Churches in all parts of the world, Anglican, Orthodox, Old Catholic. | National Churches like Sweden's and new Churches, which will be self- governing and able to develop their own character and mission in ther own lands, but which will be in vis ible communion by their acceptance of a common bond of faith and order. "There is only one cloud.
