One can hardly credit that, at a time like the present, a charge ; * "of this character could be true. A commit- by i» 4 gions. "tee has been appointed, however, to make ! investigations, and it will be interesting to see if the investigation brings out evidence to substantiate the charge. 1t is quite the usual custom, of course, to have political patronage play a large part in . filling positions which are open for govern- "'ment work. While that might apply to permanent positions, or work of a character requiring special qualifications, surely we have not degenerated to the stage of having "it applied to the ordinary laborers toiling for forty cents an hour. Any man who would apply the test of party politics to the filling of laborer's jobs in these days of un- employment is deserving of the most sting- ing condemnation; and is not worthy of the respect of his fellow-citizens. - Nothing has been proven, so far, in con- nection with the charge made locally, and The Times is always inclined to be sceptical of charges which are thrown out at public meetings, because on many occasions they have proven unfounded. Not so long ago, a charge of discrimination was levelled at the local employment bureau, but investigation £ proved the accusation to be false. The in- into the charge that politics are being ed in connection with work at the har- may have the same result. We hope it "does, for it would be dnfortunate if some of the unemployed men of Oshawa were being : __debarred from employment because they did not have the necessary political influ- ence to secure work on this important pro- ject. In a time of depression and scarcity of employment like the present, politics should be forgotten, especially when so . many men of all shades of political opinion ~ are clamoring to be given work. Holding Our Position *. Canada's record in the world of trade still remains one of the wonders of the world. In spite of the falling-off in indus- trial production, and in exports of agricul- tural products, this country still stands fifth in the list of the world's trading na- This is a remarkable record for a country of ten millions of people, a country which has but scratched the surface of its natural resources. i" Not only is Canada the fifth trading na- 'tion in the world, but it also holds a place of leadership in producties#®and export of many important commodities, It is the world's largest producer of printing paper, nickel and asbestos. . It stands second in production of gold, and third in production of wheat and zinc. In the field of exports, it stands first in wheat, newsprint, nickel snd asbestos, second in automobile and flour, and has a high position in ex- of wood pulp, lumber, fish, copper and furs. | ; For a young country, we have done rath- er well in the field of export trade and in production of goods for export. We have re: to feel encouraged by the fact that Danada has maintained her position as the _ otld's fifth trading nation, and as'a leader production of so many primary pro- i . There is little fear for a country which, in a time of general depression, can old that position. The foundation that has laid remains strong, and on that foun- in the days of prosperity that are to come, will be built a superstruc- of even greater Canadian progress in ie realm of trade and commerce. Britain Reviving Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, secretary for the on and Colonies in the National Gov- | ent of Great Britain points out some uraging factors which are developing 'the British industrial situation. Not the ast important of these was the fact that the last two or three weeks unemploy- nt had been decreased by 55,000. On of that, he said, 150 for¢ign firms had \ y applied for factory sites in Great Textile industries had experienced leration of business, and one firm had ived orders for 16,000,000 yards of cot ~The coal guota in the midland and 'areas had been increased, and Fitaln ) Clon THE OSHAWA DAILY shipments from South Wales alone rose 15 percent during the last week. These are hopeful signs for the old coun- try. It is apparent that the action of the government in abandoning the gold stand- ard and allowing the sterling exchange rate to drop, is having a beneficial effect on Bri- tish industry. This action virtually impos- ed a tariff on British imports, and gave Bri- tish exports a preference in the markets of the world. And the logical result is that British industry is: picking up. The tur- moil of the general election may, as an elec- tion usually does, hold things back for a few weeks, but the return of the National Government to power next week should be the signal for a further improvement in * industrial conditions in Britain, and that, above all, is what the country needs in order to retain her financial stability.

'It is not true in her case to say that misery and poverty reign in the Province, There are particular cases of hardship; but on the whole the standard 6f life has been maintained at a respectable level, ENGLAND (Boston Transcript) England suffered a terrible loss in the Great War, Her greatest misfortune in modern times is not reflected so much in the unemployment, or' in the condition simulating pauperism which is revealed in the dependence of millons on the dole, but in the sacrifice of the finest of her youth, the material of future greatness, in the Great War's slaughter.

PEOPLE BEHIND US, DECLARES HITLER Montreal, Que.--"Men don't know anything about work at election time in comparison with what the women do," declared Mrs, John Scoft, who in a recent speech before the Laurier-Outre- mont branch of the Women's Conservative Aszociation of Montreal and District, replied to certain remarks reported to have been made by Grattan O'Leary, a journalist in Ottawa, at a "ladies' day" gathering of a club in the capital. One of these re- marks was said to be to the ef- feet that women in election work were only one per cent, ef- ficient as men. "Women work very hard at elections, and without remunera- tion," Mrs, Scott asserted. "I know that from experience." In proof of their efficiency, Mrs, Scott mentioned that Mr. Tas- chereau at Sherbrooke had said it was the work ¢f the women that had elected Mr. Howard, On behalf of a candidate in one con- stituency, over a thousand letters had been written by a woman worker to electors who were at summer resorts Mrs. Scott said, urging them to come back to the city to vote, Mrs. Scott denied the conten- tion of Mr. O'Leary that women have not justified their being in politics. They had not received any encouragement. While it was true there is only one woman in the Federal Parliament, Mrs, Scott maintained, this was no in- dication of their indifference or inefficiency. Women were either not chosen as candidates--and ag Parade Taking Seven Hours Passes Review- ing Stand irimswick, Germany.--More than 100,000 brown-shirted followers of Adolph Hitler, fiery young prophet | of German Fascism went home fronmthere recently after a field day, their ears ringing with Hitler's pre- diction that the German Republic is soon to fall. | A series of bloody clashes, in| which one man was killed and more than a score injured, marked | the week-end demonstration, | The "Nazi" chief attacked the | Government of Chancellor Heinrich | Bruening in 'an address that clim- | axed a parade in which the uni-| formed thousands marched, _ex-| changing the Fascist salute, and re- quiring nearly seven hours to pass the reviewing stand.

Twenty-four new Nazi "Swastika" flags were dedicated during the ex- ercises, and Hitler predicted that these would last until our final victory." Joseph Goebbels, Berlin Nazi Yeader, predicted that Chancellor Bruening's Governmetit would fall "within six weeks" If elections were held now," he said, "we would capture 200 seats in the Reichstag." NEEDY TO BE GIVEN PRIORITY IN RELIEF Ottawa Finds Many Not in| Want Get Jobs Before Destitute Men Ottawa~~While matters connect- ed with the financial administration of the Government, including the exchange situation and the question | of the time and extent of a domestic loan, aré engaging their proportion- ate part of the Cabinet's time these days, a great deal of attention is still being paid to the problem of unemployment, that some modification may be made in the*plan, or at least a clearer outline given of the policy intendea to be pursued. From the discussion in Parliameut last summer over the bill which gave the Government a wide au- thority in dealing with the sugges- tion, impression went abroad that work would bé provided for every one who was willing to work. What however, is explained as the funda- mental purpose of the relief meas- ure is to provide work for the needy. Many Do Not Need Jobs The experience is said to have shown that many pcople who are only seasonally unemployed and who have sufficient means to carry them through the winter till their seasonal activities are resumed, have registered on the list of the unem- ployed, and in many cases, have been put to work. Others, more needy and without any resources, have not been found work, To provide work for every one who claims to be out of work, with- out regard to whether they, have the means of sustenance, would, it is found, entail an expense so large that no accurate estimate is possible As fhe winter approaches the de-' mands are increasing. In view of the financial conditions, it, therefore may be necessary to look after all the needy: cases, but not give so much consideration to those who are able to carry on, ARE An optimist is aman who, when' he is told the wolf is at the door, refuses to believe a word of it and therefore opening his door thus un- prepared is promptly gobbled up by the wolf.
