"THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20th, 1932. 3 The Relief Administrator The Public Welfare Board has acted wisely in appointing a relief administrator to take charge, under its supervision jurisdiction, of the organization and ad- ministration of relief in the city. It has already become apparent to the board that the present relief staff has been so over- burdened with work that proper organiza- tion has been impossible, and problems of administration for investigation have had to be left untouched. With an administra- tor to take charge of the administration and organization with, these difficulties should be removed, and a greater measure of efficiency secured in the standing of relief. ; The appointment of Charles J. Wilcox should be a popular one, although the board was more concerned with efficiency than with popularity. He has had wide experience in handling the problems of relief and unemployment, and has, in addi- tion, done much organization work along the lines required. In former times of distress, he has been a valuable executive officer, and his work in organizing the first Christmas cheer efforts in the city was very ably done. There can be no charge that the board is inclined to extravagance in the cost of its administrator. The salary being paid is much lower than was anticipated some months ago when a survey was made of the situation, and the recommendation made that an administration be appointed. The task which Mr. Wilcox is assuming is no easy one. It will require hard work and long hours of labor, it will require qualities of tact and judgment, and he must be prepared to expect criticism. No person can hold an office of that kind without being criticized, whether criticism is justified or not. But the citizens gener- ally should recognize the difficulties of -the situation, and be prepared to give the re- lief administrator their helpful co-opera- tion and consideration. Keeping Faith At the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa in July and August, one of the great stumbling-blocks which threatened to wreck the conference was the fact that Great Britain had a treaty with Soviet Russia, and was not very strongly inclined towards breaking off its trade relations with that country. Canada, on the other hand--and other Dominions took the same view--felt that there could be no advan- tageous agreement while the products of the Empire had to meet the competition of Russia dumping in Britain. Finally, some kind of a compromise was reached, and agreements were signed. But, at that time, it was not known what definite steps Britain proposed. All that could be said was that Britain had promised to put a stop to unfair dumping of goods into that country. Britain has kept faith with the overseas Dominions. The Russia trade has been abrogated, and there will be no more dump- ing of Russian goods on the British mar- kets. This is a big step for Britain to take, and it has been taken solely for the purpose of making the Empire trade agree- ments more beneficial to all parties con- cerned. This action by Britain should go a long way towards helping many of Canada's trade interests. - This will particularly apply to the lumbering industry, and to the Canadian grain trade, both of which had been seriously threatened by Soviet Russia. With that stumbling-block re- moved, there should be no further barriers in the way of this country securing the business which formerly went to the Red Rupublic,. Extension of the Moratorium It goes almost without saying that the provincial government will have to re- enact the Mortgagers' nd Purchasers' Re- lief Act, more commonly known as the moratorium act, at the next session of the legislature. This act was passed at the Jast session to provide relief for people | who, by reason of distressed circumstances, found themselves unable to meet mortgage obligations. It has undoubtedly saved many people from losing their homes in the present time of stress, and has been af great benefit in maintaining the morale and ' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1932 of the people in that position, . The Oshawa city council has endorsed a request that this measure be re-enacted for a further period. The present act was passed to be effective for one year only, and it automatically expires next spring. But the conditions which brought into being still exist in as great measure as before. There is no assurance as to when they are likely to pass away. That being the case, there should be no hesitation on the part of the government in making the act effective for a further period of time, so that its benefits may be felt until the coming of better times makes it unneces- sary. Editorial Notes It is very easy for those not in places of responsibility to condemn and criticize those who are. In spite of the blue ruin eonversational- ists, conditions generally are getting bet- ter. If anyone doubts that, just ask the plumbers, heating tradesmen and tin- smiths.
