THURSDAY, JUNE 18th, 1931 UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF { : POSSIBILITIES : The answer which the Oshawa deputation 'received from Premier Henry regarding go ental assistance with unemploy- ment relief work was exactly what might have been expected. Mayor Marks and his colleagues of the council placed Oshawa's problem fairly and squarely before the pre- mier of the province, showing his condi- tions here were unusually severe, only to be informed that nothing could. be done at the present time, but that before the present session of the Dominion parliament closed, there would be a conference between the provincial premiers and Premier Ben- nett, after which a statement would be made as to the policy of the federal gov- ernment. : This may seem rather like "passing the buck" on the part of Premier Henry, but he was merely following the line of policy which was adopted last fall, when it was only after' the federal government made provision for unemploymen, relief sssisi t the province did its share. e apes tat od wr naturally takes it for ted that the same policy will be follow- ed at the present session of parliament. . The Times can only express the hope tha the announcement of the federal govern ment will not be delayed too long. J e minister of labor has stated that plans or relief assistance this fall were being oun sidered. That is too long to wait for ap, in the case of Oshawa and a few other ie tario municipalities: It may be all rig for towns and cities where there is no'sum- mer unemployment, and where help is re- quired only in the winter. But in the fase of Oshawa the emergency exists now, go immediate help is needed to deal with it. The deputation was Sug al in Securing a promise of early resumption of the wor! on the subway, and this will take gare of a certain number of the unemployed, but there will still be hundreds out 'of ,work waiting the pleasure of the federal govern- ment. would be impressed on the Deuriniey rnment that the time for action 18 . pe a few months ahead. Mayor Marks stated a week or so ago that he would go to Ottawa, I in taking care of the unemployed. Judging from the result of the interview with Pre- mier Henry, it would seem that the federal government is the only body to which the workless people of Oshawa can look with any degree of hope. Mayor Marks and his colleagues are doing all they can to help solve the problem, and they have no other recourse now than to make a direct appeal to Premier Bennett. DID HE LAUGH -- AND WHY? After reading the reports of the speech nade by Mackenzie King in the House of Commons on Tuesday, a speech which was brought to an abrupt conclusion by the former premier's declaration that Premier Bennett was laughing at his remarks re- unemployment,-- as they appeared in the Toronto Globe and the Toronto Mail and Empire, one is forced to ask the ques- tions "Did Premier Bennett really laugh?" 'and, if he did laugh, Why?" There is no comparison between the two reports, but, hat, of course, is not to be expected from pers which habitually color their : rts. ng to The Globe, this is what hap- : 3 ~ "'And- the Prime Minister of Canada laughs at. it!" shouted Right Hon. Mackenzie King, : al Leader, across the floor tonight as Premier Bennett appeared to laugh at his arge that ployed Canadi were starvs ing and at his asking suggested means of relief. a 'Premier Bennett, in his seat directly across "the floor, had laughed as the Liberal Leader talked of unemployed starving and predicted : itions. with which the Government would ~ be'unable to cope, Amid the frenzied shoutings from Liberals of 'Shame! Shame' the Premier . went on laughing, and brought the Liberals to a white heat of anger by making a little ges- ture across-floor with his hand. There it is. As the Globe man saw it and heard -it, Premier Bennett did laugh, and Mr. King charged him with laughing at the exposure of starvation conditions among the unemployed. That seems like good pol- - itical ammunition, even better than that * famous "five-cent speech" which 'had a great deal to do with Mr. King's downfall "in the last general election. ~~ ~ But the Mail and Empire gives a differ- int version. It does not even admit that he prime minister laughed, and it leaves we if he did, "he was if necessary, to secure assistance. to that town, laughing at Mr. King, and not at what that honorable gentleman was saying, Here is how the Mail and Empire man saw it: "The Liberal Leader brought his long speech" to a dramatic conclusion when, after declaring that people were on the verge of starvation throughout the country, he abruptly sat down in the middle of a sentence with the exclamation that Mr. Bennett was laughing at him. " 'Unless the Prime Ministef and his col- leagues take some very speedy step, said Mr. King, after alleging that citizens were near starvation, 'they will find themselves face to face with a condition in this country that they are unable to cope with, I make the suggestion as I do--not as a leader of a party--' "The Opposition chieftain suddenly broke off, his own side was wildly applauding, while the Conservatives jeered. 'And the Prime Minister laughs at me," Mr. King exclaimed. "He €at down without another word. Mr, Bennett, upon whom every eye at once turned, was leaning over his desk, smiling. He gave his hand a little downward wave of deprecation, almost. contempt. Here we have the two sides of the pic- ture, and for the life of us we cannot de- cide which to believe. Perhaps when our copy of Hansard arrives it will reveal what Mr. King actually did say, since the re- porters could not agree. But the pages of Hansard will not tell whether or not Mr. Bennett laughed. The Globe says he laugh- ed, the: Mail and Empire says he smiled. And even'if he did laugh, no one can tell what caused his outburst of merriment. One can hardly believe that the prime min- ister of Canada would laugh at the revela- tion of unemployment conditions in Canada, so perhaps the kipdest conclusion one can draw was that he was laughig at the lead- er of the opposition, and not at what he was saying. Be that as it may, and, not being there, we cannot claim to have the thing correct even with that conjecture. Mr. King showed his ability to think quick- ly from the standpoint of political advan- tage, when he sat down abruptly with his declaration. that the prime minister was laughing, and one can be sure that his fol- lowers will try to make plenty of political capital out of the dramatic incident which brought his speech to a close.

And yet it is possible for keen merchandisers to appeal for business on too narrow a basis. For instance, a merchant may be chasing the elusive dollars so hard that he neglects to take an interest in municipal : s. He may be so preoccupied with his selfish interests that he fails to lend a hand in worthy community enterprises. He may be so wrapped up in the selling of goods as to overlook the fact that the town as well as his store should be made at- tractive to the people of the surrounding district. He may not realize that unless the shoppers of ths nearby country find the town interesting and attrac- tive and unless they take a friendly interest in its welfare they are not going to be drawn particularly And if they don't come to town, the merchant's chances of selling his goods are fil. The live merchant will show more interest in his custom- er than merely getting his moncy. ' . ¥ 4 NO FIRECRACKERS (Border Cities Star) Cleveland has decided to feed its hungry on the Fourth of July, instead of giving them the customary opportunity to blow themselves up with firecrackers. Legislation providing for public fireworks displays in five Cleveland parks at a cost of $2,500 has been voted down because funds 'set aside to take care of the unemployed are just about exhausted and the city doesn't know when and where additional money can be obtained. So the council has de- cided to take the $2,500 and buy meals for the needy on the Fourth. As one alderman put it, "It's all right to look. at patty, things, but it's a lot better to eat good things." Thus Cleveland will celebrate with graham crackers in place of firecrackers, BITS OF VERSE «.

Written at the Baker Hotel Mineral Wells, Texas, Left home this morning early to drive to the Pacific coast. Spent the morning driving on a splendid highway via Sulphur, Ardmore, Marietta, and other progressive Oklahoma cities, Had lunch at the famous Texas Hotel at Fort Worth, Texas, and then started west on that great highway known as "The Broad- way of America." Will ride on it all the way to SanDiego, Cali- fornia, It's a wonderful highway, hard surfaced most of the way. I reached Mineral Wells for a night's stop. I like it so well that I'm going to stay two nights in- stead of one. Miles before yQu reach Mineral Wells you can see the magnificent Baker Hotel. This hotel is the south's finest resort and tourist hotel. It is as fine as any hotel in Texas. It is some- thing different and I find the rates most reasonable. It is located in the heart of the city. On account of the curative waters here, Min- eral Wells is alvertised the world over as the city where 'America Drinks its Way to Health." I find the business people and citizens here very progressive. BECAUSE the folks here do things as a unit, They have no factional fights over questions and matters arising for the develop- ment of those things which are for the betterment of business. BECAUSE their business men are willing to give time and money to the betterment of the city. BECAUSE Mineral Wells has a reputation of being a good city in which to live, work and play, and lives up to that reputation. Minerals Wells is just beginning to enter a new era of development, with her face toward the sun. Mineral Wells believes in news- paper advertising, and by so doins is attracting most favorable at- tention from the world. From here I continue along "The Broadway of America," go- ing through many wonderful West Texas cities, among them Ranger, Eastland, Cisco, Sweetwater Odes- sa and Van Horn, each one an eye opener to anyone who has never visited West Texas. D'ANNUNZIO PAYS OEGRAVE TRIBUTE Italian Poet Preser's Cup For Motor-boat London, June 17.--An impag- sioned letter from the Italian warrior-poet, Gabriele D'Annun- zio, written in characters an inch and a half tall, was read to a group of motorboat enthusiasts, headed by the speed racer Kaye Don, at a banquet recently. The communication, which covered 20. pages with an average of a sentence to cach page was accompanied by a silver gilt bowl, supported on each side by beaks and wings of two eagles, which D'Annunzio has donated for the motorboat races at Lake Garda, in memory of Sir Henry Segrave, famous British racey, killed in a motorboat speed test. The trophy was not won by any competiitor this year, but, as a tribute to Don's attempt, the poet sent it to remain in England un- fl next year's races, "1 dedicate this wing cup be- yond the shocks of chance to the revered glory and immortal ex- ample of Henry Segrave, English- man with heart, head and hand," wrote D'Annunzio from his island stronghold in middle of Lake Garda. "An audacious thought strikes me under the storm when I saw flaming the fastest @oat that man had ever admizéd, on this Virgilian Lake . of © Garda, as beautiful as Windermere in am- ple harmofy of wages and heights, the elements against which degrave battled so long and #o triumphantly." D'Annunzio, in his letter, also wrote: °° "A same flame glows in the hero's and the poet's breast, Heroism and poetry are both resurrection." On the base of the cup is in- scribed, "In Memoria Dell Eroc Henry Segrave, Windermere, 13th June, 1930." PLANS TO LIMIT "NARCOTIC MAKING International Opium Con- ference Has Three Schemes Submitted Geneva, June 18.--Three plans for limiting the manufacture of narcotics --- British, United States and Franco-Japanese--- were discussed by the Interna- tional Opium Conference. The British plan is a modified quota scheme, It provides that the world's narcotic needs shall be allotted to exporting manu- facturing countries in propor- tion to the average annual ex- port trade of each manufacturing country during the three years. U. £. Proposal . The Unit States propesal, presented J, K. Cauldwell, embodies two fundamental prin- ciples; that the amount of raw materials in the possession. of manufacturers must be limited to that necessary for the production of the world's medical = and preceding" scientific needs, and that such limitation is to extend to all der- ivatives and cocoa leaves, al- though admittedly harmless al- kaloids will not be subject to control. The Franco-Japanese plan con- tains most of the provisions of the United States plan, but in the view of the United States dele- gation it is not as thorough. It would restrict manufacture to the total of legitimate orders re. ceived and permit the advance manufacture of 650 per cent. of the total exported the previous year. / JANA PAN BEP-N | PACITY 4.

Curative Value of Gold Found to Cover Infantile Paralysis Cal, ' Jupe 18.-- Gold was reported as a new medical weapon against infan- tile paralysis by Dr. Frederick Eberson and Dr. William G. Mossman, of San Francisco, to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, The University of California medical experts revealed a meth- od of detecting 'and measuring the amount of immunity subs stancés in the blood stream by which infantile paralysis can be detected. A small quantity, about ten drops of the blood stream, is taken, to which is added a special solution of gold preparation and other ingredients. The results of the test are known fin three to four hours. In a positive test showing the Pasadena, 'protective properties in the ser- um the gold solution is changed in color and flocculate so that a bluish or violent sediment ap- pears in a clear solution. A negative test, showing on pro- tective substances in the serum, leaves the gold solution un- changed @s to ité natuwal rose color. Touring Mayors Start For U.S.A. Converted "To Anti-Dry Cause Paris. -- The visiting American mayors left for Le Havre whence the expedition sailed on the Ile de France for home. As a delegation, | the mayors are confirmed anti-pro- hibitionists, with one or two excep- tions, as a result of their tour of a month through the vineyards, the wine-cellars and along the "cham- pagne front" of France. "I Igo home with a greater con- viction than ever that prohibition | in America is an error, foisted upon the people as a war measure and is mostly responsible for the pres- | ent crime wave which is the worst in all the history of the United States," Mayor James L. Kay, of Atlanta, said. His opinion was ac- claimel by many other mayors as an expression of their thoughts, He added: "Personally, 1 got new ideas of liberalism and I have come to the conclusion that personal liberty does not harm the community, France is perhaps the wettest nation in the world, and yet there was not a single outward sign of it. Nor is there any sign of violation of law or unemployment. It gave us some- thing to think about." ' Several members of the party in- tend to prolong their stay in France and all agreed that they have bene- fited in a professional way by their voyage and will urge as many other mayors and governors as possible to tgavel and study the merits of for- eign cities. A few of the mayors spent much time visiting police courts, public markets, hospitals, fire departments and gsocial relief' organizations. Dur- ing their stay in Paris, several mayors started an inquiry to learn whether wine drinking was a curb or a stimulant to the drinking of harder alcoholic beverages.
