The Chamber of Commerce Grant Actuated, it is said, by a spirit of econ- omy, the city council has decided to with- draw its support from the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce, and will not pay the bal- * ance of $500 of the grant of $2000 which was pledged by the council to the chamber earlier in the year. If this is the council's jdea of wise economy, there will be many citizens who will disagree. Early this year, the Chamber of Com- merce staged a campaign for subscriptions which would ensure its continued exist- ence. At that time, the city council pledged itself to contribute $2,000 towards the ex- penses of operating the organization. This pledge, along with the others which were received from individual citizens and in- dustrial concerns, enabled the Chamber of Commerce to continue its activities. On the basis of the amount pledged, the Cham- ber prepared its budget, and found it would be able to carry on, although on a reduced scale. Expenses were cut to the bone, and it was felt that the organization would still be able to do useful work. ; Now, without any warning, the city council has withdrawn its support, and has decided that it will not pay the balance of $500 owing on its contribution. The pledge which was made earlier in the year, on the strength of which the Chamber of Com- merce committed itself to a certain course, is disregarded, as if it did not exist. That is not the kind of thing which one expects from a responsible public body. Pledges are not made to be broken lightly. Obliga- tions given and taken in good faith should be kept. The council's plea that it must econ- omize may be made quite seriously, but surely the members of the council do not propose to cripple the Chamber of Com- merce, and endanger its existence, for the sake of the $500 which will be saved. That is not economy, but is parsinomy run riot. At the present time, the council should be assisting the Chamber of Commerce to re- double its efforts for the welfare of Osh- awa instead of hindering them. With busi- ness again on the upgrade, and the possi- bility of many United States concerns establishing branch factories in Canada, as a result of the Imperial Conference agreements, Oshawa's public bodies should be working together to see what can be secured for this city, instead of drifting apart. ' There is more than the sum of $500 in- volved in this matter. There is the question of the co-operation of the city council with the Chamber of Commerce. That is essen- tial if this city is to move forward aggres- sively. A house divided cannot stand, and this action undoubtedly means division be- tween two bodies which should be working together in the closest harmony. It may be, of course, that there are other consid- erations which actuated the council in withdrawing its support from the Cham- ber of Commerce, but, failing any other motive save that of economy, we are strongly of the opinion that the council should reconsider its decision and pay the money it promised to pay. Another Scrap of Paper Is Germany proposing to treat the Treaty of Versailles as a scrap of paper, just as in 1914 she treated the treaty guar- anteeing the neutrality of Belgium and precipitated the British Empire into a world war? That is a question which has arisen in the minds of many people as a result of the declaration of the German minister of defence, who stated the other day that Germany intended to increase her armaments, despite the terms of this treaty, and irrespective of what the form- er allied nations might think about it. A declaration of this kind is reminiscent of 1914, It shows the German type of mind; Germany, in 1914, threw interna- tional obligations overboard, just because she thought the time was ripe for world conquest, Today, she again proposes to ignore a solemn treaty, and to defy the other nations of the world by building up, once again, a large army and navy. The German attitude is unthinkable in view of the efforts which are being put forth to reduce the burdens of armaments of war. Large machines are built for one purpose only, to be used in case of war, \ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, and the threat of Germany is ominous, Of course, if the German goyernment is deter mined to increase armaments, irrespcetive of treaty obligations and the views of other nations, it will be hard to halt that pro- cess. But, for the sake of preserving the sanctity of international agreements, it is to be hoped that her neighbour nations will be able to persuade Germany that the course that is propesed is sheer folly in these days of striving for peace. The world has suffered sufficiently be- cause in 1914 treaties were regarded as a "scrap of paper". Let us hope that Ger- many will fot again make the same mis- take, but will be led to wiser counsels be- fore it is too late. Eighty Per Cent The city has now definite notice that the federal and provincial government will pay eighty per cen. of the cost of direct relief administered in Oshawa. This is welcome news not only to the city fathers who have to administer the civic finances, but also to those who are in need of relief assist- ance. The benefit will be twofold, in that, with less actual cost to the city, it will be possible to grant somewhat wider meas- ures of relief to those in distress. Oshawa is unfortunate in that its relief problem has reached such proportions as to require special consideration from the government, Oshawa is fortunate in that the government has sensed the needs of the local situation, and has agreed to in- crease its share of the cost. Municipalities all over Canada today are finding it impossible to bear the burden of relief work. They are looking to govern- ments to help htem, and righly so. Dis- tress has passed the stage of being a pure- ly local problem. It has become national in scope, and even although there are signs that the horizon is clearing, and that the sunshine is beginning to peep through the clouds, the problem will continue for some time yet on a large scale. The added contribution from the govern. ment will be a great encouragement {to Oshawa to take care of its needy families. It will give an incentive to veluntary ef- fort to cope with the situation, It should impel the council and the citizens advisory committee to lose no more time in setting up the organization required by the gov- ernment, so that the fullest possible ad- vantage can be taken of the generosity of the governments in taking so large a por- tion of the relief burden from the should- ers of the municipality. Editorial Notes People of Oshawa are reading more books. on travel, according to the library report. That is the next best thing to trav- elling. If reports from the west are true to facts, then Canada is due for a speedy re- covery from depression. There was once a time when W, E, N. Sinclair would have dreaded the coming of Hon. G. Howard Ferguson tp Oshawa. But he will give his former opponent a warm welcome when he comes to open the fair next Tuesday. | Other Editor's Comments THE UNEMPLOYED DRIFTER (Edmonton Journal) One central administrative authority must be es- tablished if the problem of the drifter is to be solved properly, And that central authority can be the Federal Government.

Work on the new structure, for which the Rockefel'er Foundation gave a grant to the university of $1, 232,652, will possibly be begun next month through there are yet many details to be arranged.
