Need For Caution It is apparent that Communist influences are at work stirring up an agitation on account of the deportation policy adopted by the city council. That much, at least, has been revealed in the last few days, and it behooves citizens who are interested in opposing the deportation plans to pro- ceed with caution, lest they be linked with a movement in which the reds are trying to make capital out of the situation. The information given to The Times by a prominent member of the Ukrainian community, whose name cannot be 'pub- lished on account of the fear of red per- secution, and possibly worse, is rather dis- turbing. He states that people in the Ukrainian settlement in the south-east sec- tion are actually being terrorized by Com- munist agitators, who, while few in num- ber, are extremely voluble. This state- ment is worthy of being investigated to the limit by the police authorities, and immediate action taken to put a halt to anything which savors of coercion or terrorism. Much. of the disturbance has been creat- ed by the false reports spread .by these agitators. There is no intention on the part of the council to start a mass move- ment of deportation such as has been suggested in sensational stories published in the Toronto evening newspapers. The council has no intention of disturbing those who are entitled to remain in Can- ada. But there are some cases in which the city's relief system has been abused by unnaturalized aliens, and in these cases, the action suggested is justified. From all the information which is avail- able, it has been made clear that the pro- test meeting on Sunday last was nothing more or less than an attempt on the part of some persons, believed to be of red sympathies, to use officials and members of the ratepayers' associations for their own ends, and to drag in Ukrainian organiza- tions which have, however, since washed their hands of the whole affair. Those in positions of authority in the ratepayers' associations. should walk warily before allowing themselves to be dragged into an agitation of this type. There are orderly and proper methods of setting forth views in opposition to those of the city council, without resorting to the tactics of the reds in endeavoring to stir up strife in what has been a peaceful and law-abiding community. Russian and British Trade One of the stumbling blocks which had to be overcome at the Imperial Economic Conference was that of the dumping of Russian goods in Great Britain. The Brit- ish delegates, apparently, placed a high value on their trade connection with Rus- sia, and did not feel like throwing these overboard except under greater pressure. Yet, an examination of the figures of trade between Russia and Great Britain show that the British people are not securing nearly as much business from Russia as Russia is receiving from Britain. For instance, the latest official figures show that the various countries of the world have been buying Russian exports in the following proportions: Great Britain .....23.8 per cent. Germany ........21.4 per cent. Latvia ........... 7.0 per cent. Persia ........... 6.1 per cent. Haly ..ucseeeesase:4.T/per cent. On the other hand, Russia has been buy- ing more goods from the United States than from any other country while Britain has received only a small proportion of the Russian business. Here are the proportion. ate figures. ' United States ....26.2 per cent. Germany -........21.9 per cent. Great Britain .... 7.4 per cent. Persia +.......... 4.4 per cent. Poland .........q 3.3 per cent. * Thus it would seem as if the bargain between Russia and Britain is a very one- sided arrangement, by which Russia sells 23.8 of all its exports to' Britain, but, in return, buys only 7.4 per cent. of all its imports from that country. Judging by these figures, Britain has not a great deal to lose by throwing the Soviet agreement overboard in return for new trade agree- ments which will provide much wider Em- pire markets for British goods. May Help Oshawa The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has announced a reduction of 18 cents a ton on its coal freight rates from mines in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky to ports along Lakes Erie and Ontario, when that coal is being shipped to ports east of Sarnia. This, of course, includes the port of Oshawa. In spite of the efforts to encourage the use of Canadian and British coal, Oshawa will continue for the time being at least, to secure a large part of its coal supply from United States mines. This reduction in freight rates, while not substantial in itself, may be of material benefit to Osh- awa, in that it may induce coal operators to ship their coal by water to this city, instead of by rail, thus effecting a more considerable saving in freight charges. A large amount of coal is already com- ing to Oshawa by water, but that amount can still be increased, thus extending the usefulness and value of its harbor to the city. The reduction in coal freight rates to lake ports may bring about that very thing, and thus help to have money for the people of Oshawa, and, in addition, build up the city's claim for greater considera- tion in the matter of harbor extension and improvements. Editorial Notes A large circle of friends in Oshawa will regret the sudden passing of George Loge- man while taking part in a lodge meeting. He was widely known and highly-respected in the fraternal circles in which he took such an active interest. It is predicted that many United States companies will establish branch factories in Canada as a result of the Imperial con- ference decisions. May Oshawa be able to secure its fair share of them. Oshawa's Community Shopping Event this week should provide opportunities of learning that it pays to shop at home. Thursday's announcements will be worth studying. The Ontario government is having to open up more road camps for single men. These men are evidently coming to the conclusion that it is better to work for five dollars a month and their board than to be dependent on charity for a liveli- hood. The people of Canada know exactly what Canada is getting in the agreement with the United Kingdom, but they will have to wait for parliament to open before they learn exactly what this country is giving in return. Other Editor's Comments COMMON SUFFERERS (Glasgow Herald) That Americans generally have not got to the stage of regarding the sacrifice of these debts as an Inevitable investment for prosperity is apparent from Senator Borah's insistence on European dis- armament as a quid pro quo. There 'will be no complaint in this country if the war debts factor stimulates greater enthusiasm for disarmament at (Geneva, and on economic grounds Mr. Borah is not less justified in asking for the latter than the form- er. Disarmament or no disarmament, however, the war debts problem will have to be faced and settled within the next few months, and Senator Borah's speeches encourage the hope that Europe's ap- proaches will be received by America, not in the role of a creditor, but as a common sufferer under a disastrous system. BITS OF VERSE A JUMBLE It's funny how your thoughts roam om With never a soul to see: It might be of life, it might be of death, Or maybe of you--or of me; Whatever they are they all go op Like ships that pass in the night: Half the world knows not what the other half does, And half of it's dark--and half's light, But the thoughts run in and the thoughts run out Like the wind in the shivering trees, And go drifting away with a group of dreams. Or go floating away on the breeze; And nobody knows and very few care What thoughts go op in your mind, And as for telling folks what you think, You'll find they are all very blind About reading a thought from a pair of eyes, A thought which the tongue can't tell-- But that is the wa with this queer old world, And I reckon it's just as well.

What hidden force is urging individuals and societies and councils these days, from one end of this fair land to the other to resort to these acts of barbar- ism toward the foreign born, and every other new comer who may have an opinion with respect to society, differing from that held by the common herd or who may for a time be in need of bread? What have these people done fo merit this outrage, after being invited to become citizens of this country? Are the Council not aware that labor requirements of this city and country necessi- tated the bringing in of these people and that industry in many cases, gladly defrayed the ex- pense of travel? Are they not aware Govern- ments and societies and corpor- ations have spent millions with- in the last few years to induce these people to make their dom- fcile in this land? And it can- not be urged against them that they have not made a worth while contribution to the indus- trial advancement of this coun- try, especially is this so in this city. They are acquiring homes and pursuing paths of thrift with a stubborn resourcefulness to a de- gree that might well be cumu- lated by our native born. Their children are among the brightest in the land. And the only crime urzed against them is they cannot find work and want bread, Mr. Editor, if the Council had offered a reas- onable reason to justify their proposed action. I should not have troubled you for space, but having been a citizen of this place long before any foreign population he- came a factor in the life of this community, and having watched the career of many families de- veloping into Canadian citizens of no mean cost I refuse to stand silently by and see treatment of this cha cter meted o to an innoce «nd deser people. 1 hold nn brief for any one who "disturbs the peace', (altho so- ciety often receives much gond from a severe jolt) and until the Council can show a more jue! reason for their action than has appeared in print J] would counse] them to go slow. 2g T.

(Cmpyrighe, 1088) DEFECTS OF THE CHILD AND THE PRE-SCHOOL CHILD Part "12" Many children may be considered dull, being the véry contradictton to brightness, due to a physical handicap, 1m many cases easily remedied. The value of good vision can never be over estimated. Memory is almost entirely a gal- lery of stored photographs made by the eyes, therefore, much of our knowledge is gained by storing up facts made possible by sight. It follows, therefore, that the greater portion of -the knowledge gained by the child is through the eves. If the eyes are defective, the child is very seriously handicapped both in the acquirement of knovl- edge and the development of memory. It is indeed surprising to note that even in this enlightened age some chidren are found to be using glasses given them at home with no examination. This indiscrimin- ate and careless treatment of eyes in the formative stages acp have only one effect and we are pleased to know that they do not exist for long without being discovered. This drain on the energy both physical and mental, is being taken care of and is on the decrease with the In ever increasing publicity and knowl- edge available to the public, (To be Continued) TO TEACH FARMING TO EAST AFRICANS Toronte.--Sailing for West Africa via London, Lisbon and Lo. bito Pay, an agricultural mission. ary, Rev.

The editor says: Mr. Lytton Strachey had a ke.n eye for the comic, and because the Victorian public men, we. - always seen in frock coats, top hats and side whiskers, while the Queen specialized in pork-pie shap- ed millinery, the whole epoch is tinged with ridicule in modern eyes. The Queen's Letters, in their simple and unaffected style tell the other, and the infinitely -~re important part of the story. In them are re- flected the high moral fervor, to- gether with the immense material achievements, of the age which she epitomized. Queen Victoria knew nothing of Frued, or jazz music, but the immense width and body of her experience and her deep true feeling make her letters a substan- tial contribution to history. TRAFFIC BOOMS AS THOUSANIS TRAVEL BY AIR Radical | Changes Since Primitive Planes of 1920 London.--Europepan eivil avi:- tion is experiencing its greatest "boom" since the first air-liner flew between London and Paris 13 years ago. Almost daily fresh records in numbers of passengers and weight of mails and urgent freight are set at the chief air- ports. Services on the more im- portant routes are duplicated, triplicated, even quadruplicated. From early morning till after dusk the air transport 'planes move in and out of the terminai aerodromes with the sureness ani punctuality of the most efficient rallway service. More holiday makers are trav- elling by gir than in any previous vear, Swiftly at last, after long vears of concentration by the leading air transport companies on a policy of safety with regu- larity, the man-in-the-street is realizing that in the flying mach- ine he has a new means of travel which offers advantages 1: speed, absence of trouble, in coni- fort even, which no ground ve.- icle can equal. The result is evi- dent in the traffic returns. Average is High One British company carried more than 1,300 passengers a week on the cross-Channel routes during the month of July, and over the rec holiday week- end that average was greatly surpassed. On one day more than 200 travelled © between London and Paris in British air liners; altogether they carried in four days on this one route no fewer than 674, while the London-Basle route accounted for 103 more That the Switzerland servie meets an urgent need is evident from the mounting total of pas sengerg from 440 in June to 755 in July, By air, the entire jour ney from the English capital t- Basle occupies a few hours; pas- sengers' jeave the London airpo:-t at 8.30 a.m. and land in Switzer- land at 2 p.m. A journey nowadays alonz any of the British air routes to the continent provides much reason for thought and compari- son to those travellers who made their first flights on the reguiar air services 10 or more years ago. Then the aeroplanes employ- ed were in the main converted war types. They were noisy, i! multi-engined they were slow, and the possibility of improving the cabin accommodation was glaringly obvious, Systems of flight control and of weather in- formation were rudimentary, Ex- perience and instruments were lacking for "blind" flying of the kind so frequently necessary in a part of the world where low cloud and mist are common, Inevitably, regularity suffered from the ab- sence of essential organization and of really efficient air trane- port craft. For some years he who flew might reasonably adopt the manner of one who dared a great adventure. Changed Systems Today all that is changel. Travellers are carried swiftly in large motor coaches from the centre of London to the aerc- drome where they are passed quickly through the imposing booking hall and passport offices to. the tarmac "apron" which is the equivalent of the platform at a railway station. Without either hustle or delay they are guided--- if they are "travelling British" -- into a huge four-engined biplane which has two luxurious saloon cabins inside the shapely hull.
