"TSATURDAY, DECEMBER 6th, 1980 GETTING OUT THE BEST MEN - As was. made clear in a news article in The Times the other day, it is practically cer- tain that several new faces will be seen around the council chamber after the muni- cipal elections for next year. With at' least two of the present aldermen probable can- didates for mayor, and other aldermen ex- pressing their intention of retiring from municipal life, the way is open for the infu- sion of new blood into the council, and this should encourage citizens who have not hith- srto offered themselves for public service to .®mme forward as candidates. It is highly important that the Oshawa council of next year should be of the highest possible calibre. One feels tempted to follow the example of the Toronto Mail and Empire in this respect. Commenting on the need of a business city council, that newspaper sel- ected men of outstanding ability in the fin- ancial and business world, men whose names are household words, not only in Toronto, but all over the Dominion, and suggested that they would make the right type of city coun- cil for a city like Toronto. The same thing might well be done here. One could select men who stand out in the community as the leaders of its business, financial and commercial life, men who have been outstandingly successful in their own spheres of business activity, but who, for some reason, are never to be found in the list of candidates for the city council. Our readers can make their own selections, for there are many such men from whom to choose those who might fill the council vac- ancies at the coming election. The difficulty ts to secure their consent to being nominated, io have an assurance from them that they will stand for election if nominated. Yet they themselves have much to gain from having 2 'business-like city council, for the interests of the city are their own interests, and be- :ause, what is more important, they have it in their power to make a great contribu- tion to the well being of the community. In 'three weeks time the nomination will have to be made,and it would be a splendid thing if, in the intervening period, a canvass could be made of some such men with a view to having them accept their responsibilities as citizens, and agree to become candidates for places around the council table. CANADA'S WHEAT © Herman Trelle, the wheat king of Alber- ta, has bearded the lion in its den and has come out victorious. At the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago, in competi- tion with the wheat growers of the whole North' American continent, he won the wheat 'championship with a sample 'of red hard spring wheat grown on his farm at Wembley, "Alberta. In 1926 he won the same honor, so that it is no mere accident that has made 'him once again the wheat king of North tAmerica. i This is more than an honor for Herman 'Trelle. It is more than honor for Canada. iIt is a recognition, by the most competent 'judges, that Canada grows the finest hard iwheat in the world, and that is worth a good deal when it comes to marketing wheat in competition with the rest of the world. Her- man Trelle is a splendid publicity agent for 'Canada, and his publicity work is done in a practical way that is worth much in actual dollars and cents. ' : AUSTRALIA'S PRECEDENT t In response to a popular demand, a na- itive-born Austrailian has been appointed 'governor-general of that commonwealth. This is a distinct departure from former practices. The governor-general of a domin- ion within the Empire is the personal repre- sentative of His Majesty the King, and it has always, up to this time, been considered wise to have some distinguished man from Britain #ppointed to such positions. Now the precedent has been created of appointing a native of the' dominion concerned, rather than sending a royal representative from the old land: / : Much will be lost and little gained by this. change. It is nice to think that there are native-born 'citizens in the dominions capable of filling this position of honor, but at the same time, this brings a 'weakening of the sentimental ties: which bind the people of the Empite to the British crown. There have been whispers, Canadian: should: ¢ general of Canada, but something of value would be lost if this were done. The suc- cessive occupants of this office have added much to the Brifish sentiment in Cana- Dailies and the . him the title of "wheat king". ,. from time to time, that a be appointed governor-. da, for Canada has been fortunate in that the king has always had worthy representa- tives in this country. These sons of noble families who have occupied the -governor- generalship have contributed much to the official life of Canada, and while it is true that nowadays the office makes its holder more or less of a figure head, yet Canada will continue to welcome distinguished men from Great Britain to Rideau Hall. So long as governor-generals of the type of Lord Willingdon are available, there will be no " 'widespread desire for a change in the present system. BANK OF MONTREAL'S NEW HOME Today announcement is made that on Mon- day the Oshawa Branch of the Bank of Mont- real will move into its new home in the form- er Bank of Commerce Building on' King Street North, which was acquired some months ago. The whole of the interior of the main floor of the building, however, has been remodelled and renovated, so that it is now fitted up in the most approved mod- ern type of bank premises. Thus this strong financial institution has made splendid pro- vision for giving its clients in Oshawa the most up-to-date facilities for the transaction of their banking business. It is encouraging to any community to find its banks extending and enlarging their pre- mises. Oshawa has been outstanding in this respect, for this is the third bank within a year which has found it necessary to increase its facilities for the handling of banking business. The Bank of Montreal has had a splendid record of growth since it was estab- lished in the city in 1919, and the new home into which it is moving places it in the fore- front of local bank branches. It is a recognized principle of bank econ- omy that expenditures are not made on bank buildings unless they can be justified by the prospects of future business. Banks are par- ticularly careful in this respect, so the open- ing of the new branch of the Bank of Mont- real is a good omen for Oshawa, particularly since it comes at a time that is not consider- ed up to normal in a business sense. It shows that the officials of the Bank of Montreal, men trained in the analysis of local and na- tional business conditions, are satisfied that Oshawa is going ahead, that its greatest days still lie ahead, and that the expendi- tures which they have made in their new premises here will be justified by the pros- perity of the {uture. The Times extends to the Bank of Mont- real congratulations on the splendid new home into which it is moving on Monday, and feels sure that with this step it will at- tract even a larger measure of public favor than has been accorded to it in its success- ful past. A REPARATIONS MORATORIUM A despatch from Berlin predicts that in January or February of next year, Germany will ask for a moratorium on reparations and war debt payments. Under the Young plan of reparations payments, it was provided that should Germany's financial condition at any time become such as to make payments impossible, these could be suspended or post- poned until a more favorable time, This was ' a great thing for Germany, but not so good for Germany's creditors. All that was nec- essary was for the German government to show that the country was financially em- barrassed, and the payments could be held over, That was a wonderful provision--for Ger- many. When she agreed to the Young plan, she did so because of the loophole it pro- vided, because it opened the way of escape from the penalties of war, Germany never intended to pay in full. She does not intend to pay any more than the allies can squeeze out of her. 'Even now she is framing a bud- get which can be presented to the allies as proof that she cannot continue to pay. And all the time she is laughing up her sleeve at the way in which she is winning the war. Germany is preparing the way for an early moratorium. The allies, and particul- arly Great Britain, which depends on Ger- man reparations payments to help in paying off the debt to the Uniter States, should refuse to any hoodwinked any longer. Ger- many is playing that same old game of bluff that she has been playing successfully since 1919, and it is time that allies called for a real showdown. EDITORIAL NOTES Invest in Oshawa's development by sub- scribing to the Oshawa Industrial Founda- tion stock issue. All's well that ends well. Mr. Bennett and Mr, Thomas have parted the best of friends. Herman Trelle is said to have 18,000 bushels of wheat of the same type as won It is safe to say that he will not have to sell it at 65 or 70 cents a bushel. 5 News despatch says Burma has been rocked by earthquakes. Would that be in * protest against being separated from India? Magistrates and judges are dealing very severely with bandits just now. That is the only effective way of putting a stop to ban. ditry. : May it never become fashionable for men to say, "Meet me at the Welfare Cafeteria." Other Editor's Comments LENGTH OF SPEECHES (Christian Science Monitor) . It has been remarked during the Imperial Conference in London that the speeches were shorter even than they had been at the Conference of 1926. A general tendency of the cur- rent oratory is to pack its sentences close. The necessities of radio speak- ing have accustomed statesmen-- ever the most voluminous of orators --to covering the whole of their pasty's policy in half a dozen ad- dresses of perhaps only fifteen or thirty minutes each. What will be the effect of this shortening of speeches? Will the flowers of eloquence cease to grow if they are crowded into small a space? Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in a Cambridge lecture once examined a number of famous pieces of prose eloquence, and found that the flash- ing burst of rhetoric, the inspired phrases, came only after long pre- paration and slow, elaborate argu- ment, Burke was notoriously leisure- ly in achieving his effects. The im- pressive and sensational first speech of Richard B. Sheridan in the im- peachment of Warren Hastings, oc- cupied above five hours in delivery. The general practice of orators indicates that it is easier to reach the greatest heights of eloquence mn a lengthy than in a short speech. But it also is happily true that elo- quence, even of the most exalted kind, finds no fatal enemy in bre- vity. Only two examples need be quoted: The most famous speech of Pericles and that of Lincoln at Get- tysburg; and neither took more than five minutes to deliver, HIGHWAYS COST (Aylmer Express) There is a feeling growing in the municipalities of Ontario that they are paying too much money for Pro- vincial Highways. In Elgin county alone it cost the municipalities $54, 000 and interest at 5 per cent for the construction of No. 3 Highway in 1928. This year there will be a like amount to pay and for 1931, it is vesy probable that a cement high- way will be constructed from St, I'homas to Port Stanley. This will cost Elgin county, no doubt another $50,000 or more. In 1929 No. 3 High- way cost Elgin more than $500 per mile for maintenance alone, that is cutting of weeds, putting tar into the cracks, repairs, etc. The Provincial Government recelved all the revenue from motor licenses, gasoline tax and licenses to busses, etc, and the muni- cipalities do not receive one cent in actual revenue. The opinion is that if the Government is to take all the revevnue they should at least main- tain the highgways of this province. The thing for the municipalities to do is to follow the example of the tcwnship of Dorchester. At their last mecting they passed a resolution petitioning their local representative to support a resolution in the House at the next session, asking the Gov- ernment to assume all Highway costs in future. If the several hundred municipalities of this province would do likewise, every representative would be in duty bound to give it his earnest support and the Government would be conipelled to take the ac- tion desire. We believe South Dor- chester has the right idea, and every municipality in this province would do well to follow suit. Buts of Humour NOT SO GOOD "What's that extraordinary noise?" asked the farmer.

TELEGRAPH, SAYS: That it 1s noticeable that the busi- ness concerns of any city which adopt twentieth century methods, in- telligently conceived and directed, for the bringing of customers to their establishments, seldom concerns seldom, if ever, waste much time being jealous of their competi- tors or harboring suspicions about them. There is much waste of energ expended in the United States ; complain | about hard times or dull business | It is also noticeable that these same | business people in deploring condi- tions, energy which if propertly ap- plied would result in a continuance of prosperity for all. There never will be an economic condition de- vised anywhere, in this or any oth- er country, which will guarantee the utmost of prosperity and the utmost of patronage to every concern which bids for the business of the public. There are always hazards to over- come. There are always handicaps with which to reckon. Life is like that, The real business man takes the breaks as he finds them and sets about to intelligently overcome them and make the best of them. In an experience in the publishing game of something over twenty-five years, the writer has been especially inter- ested in the complexes and the re- actions of various sorts of business men and he has never known an ex- ception to the rule that the busi- ness concern which adopted up-to- date methods, which carried good merchandise at a right price and which gave to cusiomers the utmost in service ever failed to "make the rade." In looking for the cause of ailure «in business enterprises which do fail, it is never very hard to lo- cate it. Men are not all alike. There are many misfits in business, some of whom apply wrong methods and some of whom use rizht meth- ods but direct them in a wrong man- ner. By far the majority of those who fail do so because of inability to meet the changing conditions and adjust their activities to that end. Naturally, being a publisher, it has been the tendency of the writer to note the methods employed by var- ious business men in their advertis- ing and it can be said as a result of this observation that the business concerns which advertise intelligent- ly are always the business concerns which do other things about their establishments intelligently and which handle the trade correctly when they get it AS A RULE, THE MAN WHO IS CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING OF BUSINESS BEING BAD IS THE FELLOW WHOSE ADVIPR- TISING ACTIVITY IS OFTEN UNSCIENTIFICALLY AND POORLY PROSECUTED ~ AND WHO HAS LITTLE SYSTEM IN THAT OR ANYTHING ELSE HE DOES IN HIS BUSINESS.
