One Side Only f was grossly unfair to Miss Farncomb, leity's relief officer, and to the Associated fare Societies that a Toronto news- er should publish a one-sided and untrue of their activities in connection with "family which came here recently from gbarton, The Toronto newspaper's ort charged unsympathetic and almost pile] treatment of a family in distress, and d the complainant as saying that Miss omb would not even listen to him, n investigation of the other side of the however, brought an entirely different lure to light. It showed that not only . considerable effort been made to ughly investigate the case, but that nce had been given to this family arough the Associated Welfare Societies, even although the period of residence was Mot sufficiently long to make these people Bona-fide residents of Oshawa, from the fandpoint of entitlement to relief. case proves what The Times has ed out time and again in these columns the unfairness of condemning relief cials on one side of the story only. It ds nothing new for Miss Farncomb and the [sociated Welfare Societies to be con- ned and criticized by those who have rd only one side, and have not taken the e to investigate the other. And, in lly every case, a study of both sides lof the case has proven the welfare authori- jeg to have taken the correct action in such pises. Before rushing into print, or making Public condémnations on the platform, tics of the welfare bodies of the city would be well-adyised to secure the other side of the story, but that, of course, might o-disarm their criticism as to deprive them the possibilities of making attacks, tified as these might be. os Times has time and again investi d both sides of complaints regarding if administration, and in every case has perfectly satisfied that the proper on has been taken in each case. And who have complaints made to them ld be wise in following the same course exposing themselves to ridicule by r statements which are entirely con- to the facts. i hecking Liquor Purchases - fhe other day a Toronto man was charged violating the Liquor Control Act by ng no less than twenty-four liquor pits, with which he had, in three 8, purchased liquor to the value of $2,000, case is a splendid example of the in which: it is possible to evade the ong-ef the Liquor Control 'Act.

(Canadian Automotive Trade) Canadian Automotive Trade started this Sunshine Page thing last July with refer- ences to developments that indicated a business pick-up of reasonable proportions, Other publications have been playing an obtimintie tune of late. Frankly, we are to see these signs of hopefulness, ~ + 1t does look as if the autometive indus- try is turning a new Jeaf--taking a fresh hold and leading the way to happier times.' One thing is certain and that is there will be something akin to enthusiasm at the 'National Motor Shows in January, There has been much talk about delayed buying on the part of the automobile public and a sure thing is that the prospective car buy- ers cannot hold out much longer. In count- less cases, the old family bus is getting just that much older and, when the aver- age motorist gets a glimpse of the start- lingly new models, his much-used car is going to be absolutely obsolete, He will come to the immediate conclusion that he will simply have to tintie the purse strings, well knotted for a couple of years now, and invest in a new car. Unless a calamity develops, there is an unprecedented potential market for the sale of new automobiles in 1932 because of the condition of many cars now on the road. We have gaid this before and we repeat the statement by way of further encour- cognized, however, and it is quite safe to agement. The fact is being generally re- say that the automotive industry will lead the parade in the great homecoming of business: improvement, Hands Off Fair Grants Now it is intimated that the Ontario Government has no intention of reducing the state grants to agricultural societies,' which will be good news to the managers of fairs who in the course of a month or so will be assembling in annual meeting, It may be, suggests the Renfrew Mercury, that the Government set the report in motion as a feeler. If this is what happen ed, the Government now knows that a cur- tailment of grants to fairs would not be at all well received in the Province and would involve the dissolution of a not small num- ber of agricultural societies, some of which have been going concerns since pre-Con- federation days. The societies as a whole are doing a good work in the Province, Editorial Notes How about a round of golf today ? The arrival of the summer seed cata- logues brings another reminder.that spring is coming, even although we have not yet had winter, The rush for tickets for the Graboski benefit once again proves that the people of Oshawa are always ready to respond to an appeal for a worthy cause, . The conference between Oshawa's public bodies on water rates is not likely to produce a dry discussion, Britain's trade is showing great improve- ment. The old country is on the right road back to industrial recovery. Four perfect hands are reported in a bridge game at St. Catharines, And the question naturally arises, "Who stacked the cards?" It is hard to judge the mentality of people who would throng to a jail in the hope of being an eye-witness at an execution. | Other Editor's Comments EMPIRE CONFERENCE AND EMPIRE UNITY : (Sheffield Telegraph) It is 'not the interests of individual Dominions which must count ually, buf those of he Empire as a whole, The British Government knows well what these individual interests are, and the Ministers con- cerned are to work in advakee on the oncrous task of reconciling them with each other, and, in general make the prospects of success as certain as possible, but the Dominians must contribute to this end as discussions should be Appreached in a this should mean some minor interests or other, For by some sacrifice being made by all sides that failure can be avoided; and, as Mr. Thomas said, f@ilure cannot be contemplated tor one mom- ent.

This possibility emerged yes- terday morning during the hear- ing at which Premier Bennett and his cabinet received the plea of the Halifax Harbor Commis sion that the Canadian railways charge only 19.34 cents per hun- dredweight Instead of the prés- ent 29 cents, as freight on grain shipped from the head of the lakes. to Halifax. After W, N. Tilley, K.C., of Toronto, representing the C.P.R., had completed his argument a- gainst the reduction, Mr, Bennett asked if it would not be feasible in-eouncil referring the question to the Supreme Court, Mr, Tiley said he thought it would, Beyond the indieation of the Premier's views, no definite state- ment was made as to what would happen to the Maritimers' de- mand for a concrete economic acknowledgment of the historic east-and-west trade theory on which the Confederation of the Canadian provinces was based in 1867. X Years ago tho gralp freight rate from Armstrong, Ontario, the head of the lakes rall point, to Halifax was 35.6 cents per hundredwelight, or one cent more than the rate to Quebec City On the basis of the National Trans- continental Railway Act of 1919, | the Board of Rallwhy Commis- from 34.0 cents to 18.34 cents, | Halifax now seeks a restoration | of the former one-cent differen- tial with Quebec, that is, a rate of 19.24 cents, It happens, however, that dur- ing the past few years, the great- er part of the Canadian grain crop has been exported through the United States, It comes down the Great Lakes to Buffalo whence it goes, in large part, to New York where the hig liners are glad to carry its overseas as bal- last, Low Rate Insufficient In spite of the low 18.34-cent rail freight rate, Quebec has been unable to compete with Buffalo, During the 1920-30 crop year, Quebec handled less than a mil. lon bushels of Canadian grain, in comparison with the 26 mil lion bushels exported from Mont- real and the 55 million shipped through U.S. ports via Buffalo, This view was expounded by Mr, Tilley, who added that ft cost the railways 24.86 cents per hundredweight to carry grain from Armstrong to Quebec. There was 4 loss of five cents on every hundredweight carried, Premier Bennett indicated his agreemont that the Quebec rate meant little in view of the small volume of grain handled at that port, "As a matter of fact," he sald, "I have always regarded the 18.34-cont rate as something like ving a Summer-resort rate to udson Bay during the Winter," While Colonel E, C. Phinney, chairman of the Halifax Harbor Commission, was Desenting Hall- fax's case, Hon, Dr, R, J, Man- fon, Minister of Railways and Canals, pointed out that the No- va Scotia port was being greatly benefited at present by the prem- fum of the United States dollar. Shippers would find their freight rates through United States ports much increased because the bills would have to be pald in New York funds, Moreover, sald Dr Manion, the supply of graln at Buffalo was nearly exhausted. C. H. J, Bhort, hresident of the Canadian National Millers' Asso- clation, asserted that if Halifax got a reduction on grain rates, a corresponding slush of the freight rates on flour should be granted, If the grain rate wag cut and the flour rate left constant, he sald, Canadian millers would be at a distinct disadvantage. More grain would be shibped out of Canada for milling abroad where millers already had the advantages of cheap labor and protective tar- re MINS HISTORY TOLD BY STAMPS Unusual Volume Traces Events From Stamp Issues New York, N, Y., Jan, 16, Te anclent and modern hiktory of the url, tne chief feats of exploration a very, and the pT national ; international events in civiliza- tion from the days of and Belumbus to the modern may be read in common stam an unusual volume, * P! and Stamps," points out Kent B, Stiles, an authority on philately for more than a qu of a cen: he! 4s the author of the book, e volume, through its inter pretation of the significan: stumps jssued at certain times, outlines the history of lost and orgotten ads, ad connects paper [1 verns ments, and with wara re ties created new ones while old ones , It pres senta the story of those stamp de- signs which are illustrative of for the Cabinet to pass an order. | "loners reduced the Quebec rate | VETERANS FROM NEW ENGLAND T0 VISIT MONTREAL Party of One Thousend From 104th Regiment to Make Trip Boston, Mass., Jan, 10s Fina) arrangements for the tranepo ing of more than 1,000 Great War members of the 104th Tn- fantry ment from New Eng- from various "mobilization contres" in the New.

Furthermore, recent informal negotiations have envisaged fix- ing 600,000,000 marks (about $125,000,000) annually as the to- tal of German payments, as com» pared to the average annual pay- ment of $473,000,000 under the Young plan, The Government's attitude was made known after comment a- broad had indicated the battle lines for the forthcoming Lau- sanne reparations conference. France has definitely rejected the declaration; Italy has indicated support of cessation of repara- tions, and Britdln has not been unfriendly to the German posi- tion, although it is admitted that the outcome depends on the pos- sibility of adjustment or cancella- tion of debts owed the United States, Germany would make avery ef- fort to avold a one-sided default of reparations, and suggestions were made as to compensation to the United Btates and other cred. itors if the proposals envisaged should be made effective.
