TORONTO OFFICE Temperance Street, Telephone D. Tresidder, representative. + ¥ Bond Building, 66 I rite 0107 HL "THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th, 1931 Reduced Salaries The announcement that the salaries of the executives and office employees of the General Motors Corporation, throughout Canada and the United States, and of other large industrial concerns have been redu- ced, does not occasion much surprise. In fact, it might be said that these salaried officials have survived somewhat longer than the average at their former rates of galary. In many institutions, both in this city and elsewhere, reduced wages were put into effect some time ago, first, in order to reduce overhead expenses, and secondly, be- cause the cost of living had become 80 much lower than it was a year ago that it was possible for salaried workers to get along on less money, while maintaining the same standard of living. The decision of the General Motors heads, however, will have a somewhat mol- lifying effect on the wage-earners of the company. For many months now they have had to exist on reduced wages, simply because they have not had regular em- ployment from week to week. Proportion- ately, perhaps, they have suffered far more than the executives and salaried employees are doing by reason of the salary reduc- tions which have been announced. They can now feel, however, that they are not being called upon to bear the whole burden of depressed conditions in the industry, but that those in higher positions are willing to share it with them, Undoubtedly, the present is a time of readjustments in all lines of industry, and it is not surprising to find this extending into the automobile industry, one of the greatest of them all. A Clear Warning One fact which stands out clearly in the mments on Great Britain's action in = ndoning the gold standard is that the jons of the world are still a long way from settling down. to a basis of peace- me conditions. = They are still suffering m the effects of the war of 1914 to 1918, and, what is even more important, they are suffering from the war spirit which still ists in a large measure in certain coun- ries of the world. For the last thirteen years the general situation in Europe has been intolerable. France, full of suspicion af Germany, has béen holding back a gener- al recovery by refusing to relax vigilance on the German frontier, and by doing everything possible to prevent Germany from becoming stable in an economic gense. There has been no general desire "tb live up to the spirit of the covenant of _ the League of Nations, which was intended to put an end to war. Rather has there been a maintenance of the forces of war up to an unusually high standard, and this Has meant a terrific burden to those coun- es which are already carrying an almost bearable load of war obligations. | Britain's action, then; is a warning to the nations that the time has come when they must unite on a peace basis, with the ob- ject in view of bringing economic condi- tions back to normal, 'It is a warning that common-sense attitude must be develop- +) particularly to the problem of armament reduction, so that nations shall no longer waste their resources on the armaments of , but shall rather concentrate their ate tion to developing the arts and crafts 'peace. The British people have given notice that they have had enough of. post« ar bickerings, and that they intend to ue a different course from now on, The pe of the world is that the warning may 80 unheeded, but that out of the pres- t crisis a new spirit will be developed, a : t which will make itself felt in general di ment, and in closer economic co- beration between those nations which can "be benefitted by such co-operation, Where Canada Leads ticians at Ottawa have recently ken upon themselves the task of tabula- pg some of the achievements of Canada ie realms of science, commerce, engi- ring and . medicine. .

"Canada built and demonstrated the first submarine telegraph in the history of the world. "A Canadian physician, Dr. ¥. G. Bant- ing, discovered insulin, a serum for the treatment of diabetes, "Canada built and demonstrated the first compound steam engine in the history" of the world, The effect of this invention was the dgom of the sailing ship as a fac- tor in ocean commerce, This is an impressive list of achieve- ments to stand to the credit of any coun- try so young as Canada is, and shows that Canadian men of science and commerce need take second place to none in the im- portance of the work they have done for the betterment. of the world, helium gas in coms Editarial Notes Japan is not very anxious to have peace, This anxiety, however, comes about a week too late. It is not so much of a hardship when the cost of living comes down before salaries are reduced, although it is not always done that way. The unfortunate folks, of course, are those who have no salaries to reduce. A local rumor that 100 men were wanted from Oshawa to go north proved to be false. Some day, perhaps, there will really be a call for this kind of help, but it seems a long time coming. The city council must, at least, be given credit for trying to make the government make a grant in connection with unem- ployment relief work, rm ------ Enjoyable lake bathing in September dis- pels the impression that Canada's seasons consist of June, July, August and winter, It is unfortunate for Gandhi that the British financial crisis should come along at this time and crowd him right off the front pages.

With the eyes of the world turning upon Britain in her hour of national crisis, there is a tendency among many students of world-economics to think that Britain is bearing the heaviest burden of de- clining trade. But other nations have their trou- bles in this direction -- and very substantial trou- bles, they are, too. Figures just made available by Washington show that the United States suffered an actual loss of $5,516,000000 in her foreign trade for the past fiscal year. Exports declined by $3.- 034,000,000 and imports hy $2,432,000,000--a loss of 34 per cent, and 37 per cent. respectively, : BITS OF HUMOR A REMINDER Loy (at booking office)="How much is it to Edin- burg, please I" _ Clerk (angrily)--~"I've told you three times already, it's one and six." i Boy--"l know that, but it's ma wee brither here.
