An Honor to Canada - Ross (Sandy) Somerville did something out of the ordinary when he won the amateur golf championship of the United States on Saturday. Only once before, in 1911, had that honor gone to other than a citizen of the United States. In that year, Harry Hilton, an English golfer, won it. Never before had any Canadian won the title, although on one occasion George Lyon, the Toronto golfer, appeared in the final, but was defeated in that round. Under these circumstances, Somerville's victory on Saturday was a noteworthy achievement, and one which aroused keen interest in this country. He had previously won the Canadian championship on four occasions, but the reaching of the pinnacle of the United States golfing world seemed to be far beyond the reach of any Cana- dian. Only a golfer of great ability, of determination and courage, could have done the trick. That Somerville possesses : these qualities was evidenced more than once in the final game on Saturday, and ' he stands forth as a worthy representa- _ tive of golf in this country. This young man has done more than win championship for himself. He has brought honor to Canada as an outstand- ing amateur golfer, and as a sportsman of the first rank. Those who know him best are well aware of the quality of his sports- manship. We had the privilege of being acquainted with him a few years 'ago, when he was a hockey star in London, and can recall his quiet, gentlemanly ways, which mark the true sportsman. We join with all of Canada in congratulating "Silent Sandy", as he has heen known in his sports career, on doing what no other Canadian has been able to do, and on bring- ing to this country for the first time the highest honors in amateur golf in the United States. The Stranger Within Our Gates Speaking in St. Andrew's United Church on Sunday forenoon, Rev. A. D. Robb made a striking plea for a more brotherly atti- tude towards the foreign-born population of Canada. Citing the conditions under which they had lived in Europe, Mr. Robb showed that their environment, their cus- toms and habits, in the old land; had been entirely different from those prevalent in this country, and that it was therefore not surprising to find them clinging to their old ideas. "But," he said, "they are here, _« they are going to stay and what are you , going to do about it?" - That is a pertinent question, but it has a great bearing on the future of Canada. - AgMr. Robb pointed out, there is too great 4 tendency to point the finger of scorn at the foreign born, to/ give them derisive nicknames, and to generally regard them as being "the scum of the earth." That is entirely the wrong idea. Close association with some of the foreign-born elements of Oshawa has convinced us, for instance, that they are people who have much to contribute to the national life of this coun- try. As a general rule, they are deeply religious, and they have a dramatic and literary and musical culture of their own-- different, perhaps from that of the Anglo- Saxon peoples, but nevertheless, such as can find a definite place in the development of a distinctive Canadian culture. The trouble in relation to the foreigner, of course, is that the English-speaking people, as a rule, do not wish to associate with those of foreign birth. They are not willing to mix with them, unless compelled to do so. They do not take the trouble to get under the surface, and to find out that, at heart, the people from European coun- tries, are much akin to themselves, with the same emotions and aspirations, and the same desire to make their contribution to the citizenship of Canada. 1t is worth looking to the future in deal- ing with the foreign-born. It should be remembered that in three or four genera- tions, the descendants of these people will be as good Canadians as the descendants of the English-speaking people of Canada, From that 'standpoint, the foreign-born must be regarded as brothers in citizen- ship, and must be given the opportunities of bringing their ideals of living up to the same level as those of the Anglo-Saxon people. That cannot be done by ignoring them, looking down on them, or making fun of them. The only way in which it 'can be done is best given in the words of the text which Mr, Robb used, and which we pass on to the consideration of our readers: "The stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thy- self." A Tribute to Tom Moore The election of Tom Moore as president of the Trades and Labor Congress for the fifteenth successive year is a high tribute to the veteran leader, and indicafes the place which he holds in the esteem of his colleagues 'in the ranks of organized labor. It is not an easy thing, in these days of unrest and trial, for leaders to retain their hold on the affections of their followers, but Mr. Moore seems to have done that in a remarkable degree. In spite of upheavals in the ranks of Labor, in spite of the threats and attacks of radical elements, Mr. Moore has pursued an even course, and has kept the confidence of the Trades and Labor Congress in doing so. Under the leadership of Mr. Moore, the organized Labor movement in Canada has made a valuable contribution to the nation- al life of this country. Many of the ad- vanced social laws of this country originat- ed from the Trades and Labor Congress during his term of office, and these reforms have been secured because Mr. Moore is a strong believer in adopting constitutional methods in seeking them, He has never been spectacular, has never played to the gallery. His ideas have been sane and sound, and he has been able to withstand all attempts on the part of Communistic and radical factions to secure control of Labor and lead it in the wrong direction. So long as Mr. Moore remains at the head of the Trades and Labor Congress, it can be regarded as a useful organization to Canada. Successive governments have reckoned him as a man of sound principles, and he has been called upon many times to fill official positions as the representative of Labor. He has gone to Geneva to rep- resent Canada on more than one occasion, and has done so with credit and distinction to himself and his country. Thus he has become an international figure, and the organized Labor movement of Canada can congratulate itself that it has a man of his type available to give it leadership in what is undoubtedly a trying period in Canada's history. Editorial Notes Those who are concerned about the in- fluence of the liquor evil on this province will be glad to know that Mr. Henry has no intention of letting down the restrictions without the consent of the people. Ex-Mayor Marks has revealed an attempt to spread Soviet propaganda by means of news reel films. The Red emis- saries have to be watched very closely to prevent their activities having a detrimen- tal effect on the minds of the people of Canada. Kaye Don may not have taken the Harmsworth trophy back to England. with him, but having taken a bride, he is prob- ably well satisfied with the results of his trip. Oshawa's dinghy sailors showed on Sat- urday that they are more than fair weather yachtsmen. Judging from the wedding notices in newspapers generally just now, it looks as if September has stolen the laurels from June. : | Other Editor's Comments LIGHTS ON HORSE-DRAWN VEHICLES (Le Canada, Montreal) In many Canadian provinces and states of the United States, the carrying of a light is obligatory, This is also the case in Great Britain and in sev- cral European countries. The lack of legislation in this province on this matter creates a bad ime pression on the thousands of tourists who visit us every year. But what we simply cannot understand is the foolhardiness of our country people in not taking clementary measures of precaution which crdinary horse sense should suggest to them in the purely animal instinct of self-preservation, if not in their consideration of others.

Controller James Simpson, Toronto, a vice- president of the convention, de- clared the question of banking was vital to the interests of all classes, The Bank of England, he claimed, had made profits on practically every important change in the world's economic situation. Revelling in Luxury While millions of unemployed were walking the streets, he said, those with financial resources were living in luxury. The Con- gress, he believed, should expose the "hidden power of the Gov- ernment elected by the people" He attacked Premier R, B. Bennett for having refused to call representative labor men in an advisory capacity during the recent Imperial Economic Con- ference. Two other Toronto delegates, Join Bruce and J. W. Buckley spoke in a similar vein. If those in control of finances were fully competent, said Mr. Buckley, he would have no objection to them. But there was no doubt in his IAN AND SAVINGS COMPANY KING AND VICTORIA ST8., TORONTO 23 SIMCOE ST.
