TUESDAY, APRIL 21st, 1931 WE HAVE A HARBOR .'It must be with satisfaction that the pub- Hc spirited citizens of Oshawa who worked so faithfully during the last two years to "place the city's case before the government, rm i. any hint of gang methods being used in On- "a fs in | read of the steady development that has taken place since the port was first opened to navigation last August. Since the open- ing of navigation this spring, there has hardly been a day that The Times has not been able to report some item regarding the "harbor, its development and the increased use that is being made of it. The latest news is that, for the first time in Oshawa's history, steel has been brought into this city by water. It has been estim- ated that a saving of almost $2.00 per ton in freight rates can be made by this method, and this will mean' a great deal to the manu- facturers of the city if proper facilities are 'provided so that steel may come in at any * fime during the navigation season. Local shippers need have little fear of the . low water level this year, if the experience - of the steel-carrying ship, the Enterprise, is "any indication. This boat has a draft of about 12 feet, her skipper informed The Times, and she did not churn up any mud coming into the port, except once when the © engines were put into reverse. All ports on © the lakes are suffering from low water, this © skipper said, and Oshawa is in no worse con- . dition that the ther harbors, in this respect. GANG METHODS? _*fhere are strong hints of gang tactics in * the shooting affray at a Hamilton highway roadhouse Sunday. The proprietor is out on $10,000 bail; his victim is in the hospital ; _ and five men are being held as material wit- nesses, © The defendant in the case claims that the other half dozen men are opposition road- house men who came to wreck his establish- ment and that they shot first--and, of course, the others strenuously deny such an allegation. Perhaps it isn't true--perhaps it is. But it would certainly appear as if the whole roadhouse game should be investi- gated. "Ontario is a province of Canada, and cer- tainly should not be compared with a state * such as Illinois or Nevada in the country to the south. Canadians have long prided them- selves upon their respect for the law. There _ is not even the excuse of prohibition for racketeers in this dominion. And if there is tario, the attorney-general's department should lose no time in making short work of the gangs and their nefarious powers. "WHAT UNIVERSITY GRADUATES EARN Pie An interesting report has been issued 'based on a questionnaire sent to the gradu- ates of 1926 at Yale University as to their present salaries and their work since obtain- _ ing their degrees. It will not cause much surprise when it is seen that the lowest re- munebation is received by professional men. It has been said for some years past that the yanks of the professions are overcrowded, and the report shows that most money is earned in commerce. "The report states: The average salary of the members of Yale's "926 class is about $3,000. The enquiry discovered that such commercial pursuits as advertising, merchandising, commercial transportation and gen- "eral office work led in salary returns by produc- ing a yearly average of $4,000 for the college man four years out. After these came financial occupations--banking, investment securities, real estate and insurance--with about $3,600 and close behind came manufacturing and engineering, As to teaching, the average return was about $2,100. The best paid work was found op be salesmanship, which averaged $4,200. ; would be interesting to know how this rees with the experience of other, and par- cularly Canadian, Universities.--Kingston 'Whig Standard. 5 RUSSIA RETALIATES There is little of a surprising nature in the nouncement from Russia that all purchas- from Canada has been cut off by the ' That, it would seem, is the natural course of events following the embargo plac- d by this dominion against Russian goods.

Russia is in a very unsettled state, and apparently, in order to secure enough funds to keep the Soviet's much advertised five year plan from going to the wall, the govern- ment is selling produce of the country on the world markets for anything it will bring. Until the situation becomes more settled, it would apepar as if Canada has done a wise thing in refraining from trading with Russia It is only to be hoped that other nations fol- low her courageous attitude.

It has not been nccessary to disrupt organizations in this country because of the slump, and when' the re- covery, which is certain to come, does get under way, Canada will be in a position to make the best of her opportunities, Her people have been fortunate in that they have suffered probably less than those of any other country during the recent depression; her resources are still awaiting development to a very large 'extent, and her sources of wealth are unimpair- ed. When the demand comes with recovery of the countries to which Canada looks for her markets that. demand is likely to be on a larger scale, cven, than that to' which we have been accustomed. MAN'S DESTINY (Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose in the Indian Review) Opportunities are never given, but man has the divine power to create; he can, if he wills it, create the necessary condition and determine his' destiny, Go out then with trust and hope in life's great ad- venture: the more difficult the task, the greater is the challenge! When we have gained the vision of a purpose to which we must dedicate ourselves wholly, then the closed door will open, and the seemingly im- possible will become fully attainable. BRITISH IMMIGRATION (Toronto Daily Star) Times are not good in Canada, and it would be extremely unwise, under present conditions, to flood the country with newcomers, But it does not follow that immigratin should absolutely cease. On the contrary, an opportunity is afforded to secure an un- usually fine class of immigration, sinée the number assisted to come to Canada will naturally be much smaller than in more propserous times. We are, after all, one family, and if Canada can relieve the Mother Country of some of her unemployment without ma- terially increasing Canada's own difficulties, there can surely be little objection to a limited and restricted migration of selected youths or selected families. | BITS OF HUMOR The young son of a parson in the Midlands was taken down a coal mine one day as a great treat.

BRITISH STEEL MAKERS EXAMINE CANADIAN MARKET Seek to Find Why Canada Takes Bulk of Imports of Steel From States Sheflield, England.--In an article on "Marketing Steel in Canada," a special contributor to the Sheftield Chamber of Commerce official pub- lication examines the differences in transportation rates in seeking to find why Canada takes such an over. whelming amount of steel from the United States, in comparison with British steel. "Canada imports over a million tons of iron and steel a year (1,385, 000 ton in 1929) mostly from Unit- ed States," he says. "The quantity supplied by the Americans in that year was 1,119,000 tons, whereas we sent only 117,000 tons to the Dominion. Why have we failed to meet American competition? There has long been an idea that the Am- ericans have had the benefit of cheap transport, Please let this idea be tested. "A steel-making firm with its plant near Sheffield, almost as far from a port of shipment as a Brit- ish steel works can be, and a plant, moreover, with no iron ore mine near-by, has figured out its total inland transport costs at $7.20 per ton of finished steel up to the ship's side. That is to say, the inclusive railway rates on the ore, lime, fuel, etc., used to make the pig iron for one ton of steel; the rail rates on the fuel and other materials used in Weather.

NEW PROCESS PAINT Made by the makers of Duco W. H. A. PATTE 85 Simcoe Street North, Oshawa, Ontario H. D. WILSON 28 King Street West, Oshawa, Ontario : NP2S ---- the steel works, per ton of finished steel--all the costs of inland trans- port. A calculation made today would scarcely show $6 per ton. In the case of steel made in the West of Scotland, South Wales, or the Middlesbrough district, where the works are nearer shipping ports, and in some cases much nearer iron ore mines, than are works in the Sheffield area, the inclusive inland transport costs are obviously con- siderably lower. But Sheflield and other inland steel makers can meet American competition in Canada if they try. "To the $6 per ton or less, here calculated as the inland transport cost carried by a ton of our steel up to the ship's side, there has to he added the freight to Canada. Ex- cept when the St, Lawrence naviga- tion is ice-blocked, steel products up to $100 per ton value are carried from British to Dominion ports-- Liverpool, for example, to Montreal --for not more than $5 per ton, Even light products, many of them dificult to stow, or which occupy much shipping space are carried across the Atlantic for a freight rate of only $8 per ton, However, for ordinary steel products--nplates, beams, bars, structural shapes, and even thin galvanized steel sheets-- the transport cost per ton up to Montreal, is little more than $8 per ton on Sheflield steel, or Mid- land counties steel, whilst on steel made in Middlebrough and other places near our docks, the inclusive transport cost is less. How does this compare with American costs? "American steel makers have tes. tified over and over again to the Government and the Tariff Board that their assemblage costs range from $7 to $10 per ton of steel, and to carry the finished steel products from works to port--seaport, river- port, or lakeport, or to land bound- ary stations in the United States-- costs from $5 to $12 per ton accord- ing to the point of exportatin and the shape of the goods, The trans- port costs expert of the 'Iron Age' says that the average inland trans- port cost, inclusive, on a metric ton of American steel up to point 'of shipment or export is $11.75 com- pared with about $5.30 in Britain. The bed-rock minimuni assemblage cost on the materials to make a ton of crude steel in the United States is not less than $7.50. The average is considerably more, It stands to be noted that haulage dis. tances are very long in the United States, and stuff like iron ore, lime- stone, coal, coke and pig iron can- not be carried long distances over- land economically. "However, compared with, $8 total transport cost on a ton of British steel up to the port of Mont. real, or Quebec, the following are the transport charges on American steel, from American to Canadian stations, plus the high costs of as- semblage, already noted: On e¢rude steel, an easily loaded and packed commodity, in full car loads, Pitts- burg to Montreal, $7 per ton; on crude steel from Uniontown to Que- bec $8.75 per ton; on ordinary iron and steel articles unenumerated, say, RR TTUVS Shpnasial Tra." ba i Seon roma inay, he » Staaf nssnng Toned, REDROSE TEA 2CNOICE BLENDS = Red Lavel & Orange Pekoe Allantown or Bethlehem to Mont- real, $16, and, adding only $7.50] for assemblage of the raw materials, | per ton of steel at the works, we | get, therefore, transport costs on American steel up to the leading stations in Eastern Canada ranging from $13 to more than $22 per ton, against $18 or less on British steel when the St. Lawrence navigation | is open. If our steel is sent to Hali~ | fax or St. John when the St. Lawr- | ence is frozen, and thence trans-| ported over land to stations in On- | tario or Quebec--or even to Moose Jaw and Calgary and many other stations that might be named --it will carry less total transport cost than American steel for the same stations. This truth ought to have been realized long ago, and the Dominion market ought to have been cultivated by our people. "Furthermore, there is Fiscal Preferénce for British steel in Can- ada, but not for American steel. Yet, for every ton of British steel marketed in the Dominion since the war eight or ten tons of American steel have been sold there." DETROIT CITY HALL ROBBED OF $28,000 Detroit April 21,--Cutting through the heavy wire of a cash- fer's cage, two robbers obtained $28,458.01 in cheques and cash from the office of City Treasurer Charles L. Williams, on the second floor of the City Hall yesterday afternoon while three police of- ficers assigned to guard the office stood less than 50 feet away, The robbers cut through the cage, reached in, grabbed the money and cheques, and made a dash for Michigan Avenue, THIS PIG HAD LARGE FAMILY Alberta Sow Has Given Birth to 134 Piglets in Three Years Edmonton, Alta.--Speaking of records, here's one for the swine family to shoot at. It is probably a record for the American contin- ent, if not for the entire world, and is claimed for a Yorkshire sow, owned by Samuel Pearse, a farmer in the Meeting Creek district, In less than three years this proud porker gave birth to 134 pigs. From May 3, 1928, when this sow gave birth to a litter of 11 pigs, the record is as fallows: Oect. 10, 1928, 15 pigs; March 18, 1929, 23; Sept. 20, 1929, 18; Mar. 18, 19380, 24; Oct. 20, 1930, 21, and April 1, 1931, 22, Regina, Sask.--Keen interest in joint purchasing is being shown by the Saskatchewan farmer and nums- erous suggestions are being receiy- ed by the government for formation of farmers' co-operatives for the purchase of gasoline and oil. "Farmers now realize they can hecome incorporated very cheap- ly," stated W. Waldron, provincial commissioner of markets and co- operatives. 'For the small fee of '$4.50 they can form a local co-oper- ative association for the purpose of 'handling 'masoline, grease and oil." During the year 1930--in the Province of Ontario alone--in every hour between midnight and dawn one person was injured by motor traffic. r ADDITION to the number of persons reported injured during the yéar, there were also 525 deaths due to motor accidents, Over 1,500 more persons were injured by motors in 1930 than in 1929, "These figures have an interest for every car owner, When the next hour strikes--will you have added to the accident record?
