BROWN DESCRIBES WIDESPREAD EFFECT OF AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY Claims Improved Condi-| tions in Canada Will Come Only When Motor Industry is Back to Nor- malcy GREATER BUYING EFFORT NEEDED Every New Car Represents an Average of 87 Days Work For a Canadian Workman--Many Indus- tries Involved ('anada will enjoy normal con- ditions only when the automobile industry ig brought back to nor- malcy, H. A, Brown, vice-presi- dent and general manager of the iieneral Motors of Canada, Limit- ed, declared in an interview with The Times today. Citing the ramification of the industry into every part of Can- ada"s economic structure, Mr. Brown said that there is notning else anyone can buy which direct- ly supplies work and wages for 80 many people in so many places and so many different industries and professions ag an automoniie, The effect of a new car pur- chase on the labor market was il- lustirated by Mr. Brown in the statement that a new car repre- sents an average of 87 days of gainful employment to workmen throughout Canada, That means the equivalent of three and a half wonths of working time for one man on the basis of a six-day week, The figures are from a re- port made to the Dominion Tar- i¥ Board by J. A. Coote, Profes- sor of Economics, McGill Univer- sity. Can Afford to Buy "It has heen estimated that one-third of the people now em- ployed are in a position to buy a slew automobile right now," Mr. Brown said. 'Why they have been putting it ff isn't import- ant, The fact remains that they can afford to buy, but haven't, Yet if only one out of ten of those able to buy would buy, the auto- mobile industry would immedi- ately be restored to a healthy state of activity--producing 125,- 000 cars a year and employing more than twenty thousand men exclusive of the thousands of others employed by retail sales organizations." Movements Commended Mr. Brown c¢ommended the various movements launched to put idle money and idle men to work. He then went on to stress the direct relation of the auto- mobile industry to the economic welfare of the country. "The business of building and selling automobiles was in 1929 Canada's fourth biggest indus- try," he pointed out, "It is so big that few people even dream of the extent to which it affects almost every other basic industry in Canada. "There are 200 Canadian com- panies supplying parts to the automobile industry. The indus- try consumes, in average times, ten million dollars worth of iron and steel; 2,500,000 square feet of plate glass--over eighteen mil- lion board feet of lumber, over three million dollars worth of upholstering cloths and top mat- erials, 'a large proportion of all the nickel and lead produced, (Continued on page 3) COMMISSION NOT ACTING HARSHLY ON WATER RATES Cases Cited to Show Lenient Attitude is Adopt- ed When Warranted Public he While officials of the Utilities Commission, and Commissioners themselves, hive often been the target for more or less severe criticism on many occasions upon which they have been accused of "hard hearted- ness" in discontinuing the water supply to homes where distress prevails, two very recent occur- rences have been brought to the attention of this paper which prove very conclusively that no action is taken in this respect without careful consideration, In one case a utilities official, on going to a home to investi- gate and, if necessary, turn off the water supply payment of rates, found that one member of the family was a small child still receiving treat- ment, and in a comparatively serious condition, owing to an attack of infantile paralysis. The breadwinner of the family was unemployed with no immediate prospects of obtaining work. In the second case the sole occupant of the house was found to be a frail old lady of over seventy-five years who, appar- enlty, had no means of support whatsoever, Instead of going right ahead and turning off the water supply in these two homes, as the of- ticial of the Utilities Commission was fully authorized to do under the Public Utilities Act and by resolution of the local Commis- sion, the investigator returned to the Utilities Office and report- ed fully on the circumstances of both cases with the result that the water is still available in both homes until some decision has been reached regarding how the people chiefly affected will obtain relief from the wypfortun- ate condition in which they find themselves. PERMIT FOR HOME ISSUED TODAY First Substantial Permit That Has Been Issued for Some Time Whether this may be taken as an indication of returning activ- ity in the building trades or not, for the first time in many months # building permit was issued this morning from the office of the City Engineer for the erection of a comparatively substantial resi- dence, the cost of which is com- puted at $3,000, The application for this per- mit was made by the owner, Joseph W. Heath, G54 Oshawa Boulevard, who plans to erect a stucco house at 851 Colborne Street Kast, between Roxbor- ough Street and Oshawa Boule- vard. Drastic Action to Deport Reds is Protested in House of Commons Ottawa, May 7--Arrest of alleged Communists in Sudbury and Win- nipe precipitated a stormy hour in the House of Commons last night, with Labor, Liberal and Progres- sive members protesting against police methods which "smacked of Russia." J. S. Woodsworth (Labor, Winnipeg), 1 I.. Brown. (Liberal, lisgar), and other members en- deavored before the orders of the day to learn why the alleged off enders against Canadian Jaws had been arrested and "whisked aw; some of them 2,000 miles, for rial. The matter was ventilated further tonight during 'consideration of the Mounted Police estimates. Liberals and Labor members demanding to know what charges had been pre- : ferred and protesting that the ele- mentary principles of British justice Lad been outraged, The North Centre Winnipeg mem- ber lodged a most vigorous protest, arguing particularly against removal cople, from home for an inquiry of Prop to deportation. Even E, J. Garland of Bow River, who is one of the most frequent contributors to House debates, de- clared that the procedure was so new that words failed him in des- cribing it. To all of which the reply of Hon, Hugh Guthrie, Minis- ter of Justice, and Hon, Gordon, Acting Minister of Tmmi- gration, was that the law was being followed in all particulars and that the accused would be given a fair trial, A Board of Inquiry as provided by the Immigration Act will in- vestigate the activities of the alleg- ed Communists arrested this week at Winnipeg and Sudbury, and on the evidence adduced before this body a decision will be made by the Minister of Immigration whether these men should or should not be deported. This Board of Inquiry will sit at Halifax. Sudbury Editor Included Halifax, May 7-Arvo.

The officers are reported to have ask- ed him if he was a Communist and he admitted he was. The of- ficers then made a scarch of the whole house, CUNARD PIER AT NEW YORK BURNS One Killed and 267 Fire- men Reported Injured In Blaze New York, May 7--The fiercest waterfront fire of a decade had re- duced the $2,000,000 pier and stored freight pier of the Cunard Line to twisted wreckage last night, and was pushing stubbornly battling firemen northward toward an ad- joining huge pier from which the Anchor Liner €alifornia had been hastily removed. .
