THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1931 PAGE SEVEN NR JOAN ARDDECLARES CONFIDENCE IN ULTIMATE ~~ RECOVERY INTHE DOMINION Time | Required to Bring Back Prosperity Depends on the Resourcefulness and Ingehuity of Can- , Says Presi- (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Jan. 13.--Recovery of Canada from economic depression is certain, but the time required to bring' it about will be deter- mined largely by the resourceful- ess and ingenuity of her people, eclared Sir John: Aird, in his residential address at the annual eeting of the shareholders of the [Canadian Bank of Commerce yes- erday. Appealing to Canadians to throw off their fears and turn their minds resolutely to clearing the way to prosperity 'in a country that is one of the most fertile in oppor- tunity for progress," Sir John said: "It is necessary that we work harder, reduce production costs so as to establish an intimate rela- tionship between producers' and consumers' prices, particularly as affecting the farmer, and gener- ally display the same high courage that in the past helped us to over- come depression." Urges Divepsified Farming Sir John urged western agricul- turalists to immediately consider the question of diversified farm- ing as a step toward placing the prairie farmer on solid ground, and expressed the wisdom of lim- iting the acreage in wheat in Can- ada and other exporting countries. Maladjusted production "was as much to blame as overproduction and mistakes in marketing, policies for the present trouble. He in- dicated Canada was least at fault in respect to maladjustment, for considering her many natural ad- vantages over her competitors she had one of the smallest increases in acreage, about 4 million acres, since 19256. On the other hand. the United States, a most favorably situated corn-growing country, had curtailed its corn acreage by 3 mil- lion acres and increased its wheat acreage by the same figure. Aus- tralia had added about 8 million acres since 1925 and Argentina about 2 million acres. The years between 1927 and 1929 had seen some unusual developments: the 1927 world crop being a better than average one, the 1928 crop a bumper one and the 1929 crop in Europe the highest since the war. supplies Increasing Sir John referred to an adjust- ment of wheat acreage now under way in the United States and the operation in the future of the in- flexible law of supply and demand in Australia and = Argentina, but emphasized two other important factors, namely, that Russia will within a year or two again be sup- plying Europe with large quanti- ties of graing and that Manchuria and Northern China are potentially tha major sources of supply of foodstuffs for Japan. and other countries of the Orient. He there- fore was of the conviction that western Canada would find the oriental market for its products would be largely curtailed and that western agpiculturalists should consider immediately the question of diversified farming. Continuing on the subject of wheat, Sir John said when the prairie farmer had, through all the diversification possible, again placed himself on solid ground, it was to be hoped he would con- tinue permanently on that basis. keeping always in view the neces- sity for curtural methods that maintain, even improve, the yield er acre and the quality of his gy from which system followed adequate financial® returns acre. per Gold Production a decline in gold production Sir John 'urged inter. national action to stimulate, hy subsidies, prospecting for gold and for research in metallurgy with a view to reducing milling costs and. as was the case in copper minine, to introduce some new form of ore treatment to make available for mining fairly large known de- posits of low-a2rade ore. This pro- posal was made, not because Can- ada was regarded as the =*most likely country for the discovery of new mines, but hecause the need for new supplies was too urgent to leave to casual vrospecting or to the accidental discovery of some revolutionary metallurzical meth- ed Sir John algo made some recom- mendationg providing for n more effective use of the present mome- tary gold supply. The exigtine le< ral reserve requiremente eonld he safelr--rodneed. The hank for in- ternational settlements, whosa op- erations were limited tn dealinge with ar through central banks, could he made a holdin azent for the world's entire gunnle af monn. tary gold, each country being cred- fted with sufficient to sunnert a sonnd financial structure, Thng a redistribution of gold would he accomnlished, and there would be no further costly physical move- ments. To prevent In One Man's Life Time K. J. Dunstan, Vice-President of the Bell Tel 2 Z Just retired after 53 years in the service. Telouonia CONPRYY, hug Within a few days of the announcement of Mr. Dunstan's retire- ment a lone telephone pole, relic of other days, was removed from Yonge Street at the corner of Front--the last pole on that busy thoroughfare from the waterfront to Hogs Hollow, Over 86 per cent. of 'all the city's telephone wires are now underground, and Toronto, it should be remembered, is the best telephoned from the standpoint of homes of nll the great citie§ of the world. As a striking evidence of changed conditions from the early days of Mr. Dunstan's career, it is recalled that the big 60-foot telephone poles that used to carry scores of open wire at one time cost in the neighborhood of $5.00! To-day they cost about $40.00. The picture shows upper Yonge Street as it was three decades ago. Suggesting an international con- gress on the distribution of Eu- ropean population, Sir John said while Canada should endeavor to maintain an preponderant British strain in her population, superior types of immigrants were avail- able In most countries, particul- arly those of Northern and West- ern Europe. 3 He urged consolidation ernment employment offices and the timing of public works to per- iodg of depression in discussing unemployment. Turnover Tax Suggested He also reaffirmed his opinion that the Dominion government thould institute a tax based on the turnover of commodities moved into' consumption channels by which the government could spread taxation 'as evenly as possible and pay its way as it goes along with- out oppressing any one class of people. Special forms of taxation could be provided for those indiv- iduals, concerns and jgstitutions whose business it is to sell services instead of commodities. The scale of this taxation could be graduated in two ways. first, by setting dif- ferent rates on various groups of commodities (that on necessities being lower than on luxuries), and secondly, by adjusting the rates from time to time, even from of gov- | month to month, to the financial needs of the goverument LIVED ON SALMON FORTO MONTHS Miss Jean Graham Describes Teaching Experience on Labrador Coast Montreal.--Living on a daily diet of salmon and potatoes, unadorned by such vitamins as milk, fruit or green vegetables, in a colony con sisting of two families the mothers of which were sisters, teaching the children not only the three R's but also how to play with a ball and the art of singing, also doing pioneer work in introducing applause, was the experience of Miss Joan Graham during the past summer. Miss Graham, who addressed the Nolan-Cernell Chapter, 1.O.D.E., de- scribed her volunteer teaching ex- perience at the tiny spot on the Can: adian Labrador coast called Rocky Bay. The Quebec Provincial Chap- ter makes a grant towards the tra- velling expenses of teachers doing $ 250 in Pizes volunteer educational work in Lab- rador, ; 'During the two months she was at Rocky Bay, Miss Graham received mail from home only twice, for there is no mail boat service. The two families, with one of which she stayed, consisted of twelve persons, six children composing her educa- tional establishment, classes of which were held in one of the homes. None of these youngsters had ever been to school, and.only one could read a little. There was, of course, no equipment, Miss Graham remarked, and teacher and pupils sat around a home-made table for lessons, one lit- tle girl having the special distinc- tion of using the family sewing ma- chine as a desk. Games were an entirely new idea to the children, and the ground did not lend itself to sports, being rocky and lacking level places. However, Miss Graham had taken a ball with her and she taught the children to play with it. Prior to her coming they had never sung, yet to such good purpose did they absorb her teaching of songs that a concert was given to wind up the school season, with music and recitation. ' It was on this occasion that the cqlony learned what applause was, register ing some astonishment when Miss Graham clapped her hands after the various numbers on the program. Salmon fishing is the only indus- try at this spot, which is at the mouth of a river, although cod is coast. No farming of any kind fis possible because the territory is all rock, said Miss Graham.
