Ba, " 5 Oshawa's Hospital "While there will probably be some dis- pointment at the announcement that the ns for building an extension to the Oshawa General Hospital, because of the anticipated employment which would have been provided, one cannot' overlook the fact that the reasoning of the directors in making this decision is sound. One has only to look around the province of Ontario to see how many hospitals are finding themselves in financial difficulties, and are faced with heavy deficits, largely be- cause of the increase in the number of indigent = patients. This condition also prevails at the Oshawa hospital, and rather than spend their reserves on a new build- ing, the directors have wisely decided to conserve their resources so as to avoid deficits. ; Oshawa has been very fortunate in its hospital experiences. From the standpoint of efficiency, and meeting recognized standards, the hospital ranks high. It is recognized as a standarized hospital by the American College of Physicians and Sur- geons, and the training school in connec- tion with it is fully accredited. This means that the people of Oshawa and the sur- rounding community have at their disposal e very best of hospital facilities, where modern means of giving the necessary care and attention are provided. The city is all the more fortunate when it is considered that this standard has been attained without becoming a burden on the community, as has been the case with so nany hospitals. The directors have guided ifs affairs with such efficiency, and it has been fortunate enough to have such gener- ous friends, that it has not been necessary to make application to the public funds of the city to meet deficits. That is highly creditable to those who are charged with the responsibility of operating the hospital, and must be intensely gratifying to the citizens of Oshawa. : 'The plans for hospital extension, it is to be hoped, have simply been deferred to a more opportune time, and have not been completely abandoned. Were conditions favorable, the hospital could very well use the extra accommodation . and facilities which the extension would provide. In @ meantime, the directors are exercising mmending foresight in holding up the project until that time. + What Governments Represent ' {Frank W. Watkinson, speaking to a ering: of unemployed on Monday igfernoon, delivered one of the brightest and most pointed epigrams it has been our vilege to hear for many a long day. e was discussing the tendency of victims [ economic distress to place the blame for heir troubles on the governments of the country and its provinces, and was showing Xow these governments were not to blame . , all. The people themselves were to blame, for, he said, . i © "Governments are an expression o "the mentality of those who put them "there." : {There is a tremendous amount of truth | that pointed epigram. When the people of the province or country go to the polls, they elect exactly the type of government ly wish to have. This js a democratic untry, and in the selection of govern- ints, the voice of the people is supreme. te the people have spoken, the govern- lent goes ahead and does it job in the 8st way it can. They have been placed ere by the voteg of the people, who are, | 'the final analysis, responsible for the of government which is given. This is a truth which is entirely forgot- , as a rule, in the heat of an election paign, but which should be studied y by the electors as a whole and as lividuals. ' Some may say, in their eyni- m, that in voting one has to take the pice of the lesser of two evils, but that missing the point. The point is that there ed be no evil at all if the people could see that the kind of government they t is determined" by themselves, and , over the whole nation or province, lided by that principle alone in waking selection, ! sCrime will continue in the United States : long as the present breakneck speed and ' the race for doing better than your neigh- bot continues.--Mahatma Gandhi, Hindu fo By meekly the admonition of His Grace that he Why This Treatmerit ? (Editorial in. The Toronto Globe) In the interests of fairness and justice and clarity, there should be a full public explanation of the motives and the purpose involved in the appeal by the Board of Pensions. Commissioners of the tragic case of Gunner Clarence W. Hewitt. The cold phraseology of formality declares that the Dominion of Canada wrestled with Veteran Hewitt to the grave, and is now pursuing him beyond--first, to keep him from pen- sioned sustenance, and then to hold the granted boon from his family. Against the apparent facts formality carries no weight. The Pension Tribunal was con- vinced, after the Commission had twice denied his claim. Counse] for the Commis- sion is quoted as saying there would be no appeal, evidently also convinced when the evidence was fresh in hand. The pen-. sion was allowed the day after the veteran had gone beyond mortal help. Now his wife and children are required to fight all over again. The Commission has appealed. This sort of thing cannot be understood by a country which proclaimed that the men who risked everything in the Great War were entitled to all the practical assistance that could be given. Is there an explanation for what appears to be a' definite and determined policy to resist claims to the utmost finality Is there an explanation for what, on the face of it, looks like an effort to deprive Gunner Hewitt's dependents of proved and admit- ted rights? What is happening is so directly con- trary to the spirit of gratitude for war service announced by the nation, that if there is an explanation that it should be forthcoming. Is there a measure of imposture which calls for a policy of gruel ling and seemingly heartless sifting for the truth in all cases. It cannot be believed that those entrusted with pensions ad- ministration are opposed to the principle of the cause occupying their time. It can- not be believed that they have an ulterior motive in dragging out their work to a limitless end. Is the burden on the coun- try so heavy that it is necessary to delay payments as long as possible? In the bulk, Canada has no reason to be ashamed of its assistance to veterans and dependents. No other country is more generous. There are, in fact, nearly 254,- 000 men, women and children receiving pension payments as a result of the Great War. Indeed, counting pensioners and their families in the Mounted Police, the Civil Service--both Federal and Provincial --the permanent militia, the Northwest Rebellion and the South African War, it is 'estimated that approximately one-thirtieth of the population of Canada is receiving payments from the Federal Treasury. An astonishingly huge bill has to be met year- ly, and, presumably, the pensions authori- ties cannot add to it without the fullest justification. This, however, does not excuse militant, hard-fisted treatment of needy veterans. Deliberations and judgments can at least be tempered with the milk of human kind- ness. There can be, and should be, explan- ations for rejections and appeals which will show the general public that the spirit of generous right is not being violat- ed, if such is the case. The pathetic case of Gunner Hewitt calls loudly for explan- ation. Other Editor's Comments | DEMOCRACY AND THE PRESS (London Daily Telegraph) Dr. Temple, Archbishop of York, has found that in' practice our democratic state often tends to dis- suvade a man from loving his neighbour or thinking for himself, and he blames the newspapers or rather the singular and appalling weakness of Englishmen reading only papers of their own party. We thinks it a moral dutv to read the other side as well. But his practice is not based on a very pro- found study of the relation of newspapers to public opinion, In a good newspaper he would find that advocacy of its own principles is not permitted to exclude the facts which tell against them and the adequate presentation of the case for the other side, BITS OF HUMOR "Do you know anything about Mars?" asked the professor of a student, "Yes," was the reply, "It is inhabited by a race of highly industrious people."

On his re- turn here the question of con- tinuing the poliey of keeping a minister in London or of appoint- ing a high commissioner will be considered, The decision to send Mr, Bruce to London, to have charge of fin- ancial negotiations and of all Australia activities there, is re- garded as the most important, connected with Australian repre- sentation in London, taken since the beginning of federation Several successive Australian ~overnment's have felt dissatjs- faction with representation London under the high commis- sioner system but the difficulty wag to find an alternative. The zovernment felt that only a cabi- net minister vested with full au- thority from the Australian' ad- ministration could deal effective- lv with the questions of extraor- dinary importance to Australia which will arise during the next twelve months, Not the least of these is the New South Wales loan of nearly $60,000,000 which matures in London next Novem- ber.

"This has made it much more difficult for us to adapt ourselves to the world-wide econ- omic disturbance which has depriy- ed us of a very substantial portion of our market. It is a costly pro- position to keep a manufacturing plant in partial operation. It may be more costly to close one down, It is especially distressing to disor- ganize a staff of workers by laying them off because there is no mar- ket for the products of their labor It is the desire of all manufactur- ers to run their plants as close to capacity as possible, to as many people as they can, because it work have 80 employ PROVIDE for your future -- Build a Savings Account CENTRAL CANADA IPAN AND SAVINGS COMPANY KING AND VICTORIA $78., TORONTO 23 SIMCOE ST.
