The Pacts Ratified After some weeks of useless wrangling in the halls of parliament, the pacts made at the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa have been ratified by the British and Canadian governments. Almost simul- taneously, these two houses voted, by large majorities, to have the pacts brought into effect. It was unfortunate that there had to be so much verbal opposition to the treaties. Those who provided the opposition knew that their verbosity would be wasted. They knew that they had sufficient support in their respective parliaments to put them into effect. What, then, was to be gained by holding up ratification for weeks, for no other reason than to oppose for the sake of opposing? It is little wonder that people lose patience with parliamentarians when such a spectacle is provided in the House of Commons. The agreements have now become law. Much is expected of them. They were heralded by those who made them as new steps in the direction of increased trade within the Empire, as a means of bringing back a measure of prosperity to both Can- ada and Great Britain. Whether these hopes will be justified remains for the future to decide. The means is there to increase business between the two great nations of the Empire. It now becomes the responsibility of the business and commer- cial interests of both countries to make use of the agreements, and to build up that larger measure of intra-Empire trade which they are supposed to encourage. As we have said, time alone will show the results. May they be such as to justify all that has been said of the agreements by their supporters. The Choral Society It has been decided to continue the work of the Oshawa Choral Society which, under the leadership of Dr. H. A. Fricker, gave so splendid an account of itself last spring. Music lovers of the city who were thrilled by the splendid concert given by the choir in May will be delighted to know that the work is not going to be allowed to drop, in spite of the conditions which prevail. The musical life of any community is one of its great assets, and the publicity which Oshawa received as a result of the efforts of the choir last spriing was worth while. The meeting which is being held in the Hotel Genosha on Wednesday. night, to organize for the season, should be well at- tended. With the probability that Dr. Fricker will again be the choir leader, all vocalists iin the city should be delighted to have the benefit of choral training under his leadership, and we look for a greater response than ever to the opportunity which is being provided by the decision of the choral society to continue its good work. What Are Canadians ? Rev. William Smyth, of Orono, in his address to the St. Andrew's Men's Club the other night, touched, on an interesting point which often comes up for discussion. He was speaking of the contribution made to the life of Canada by people of various racial origins and nationalities, and he said: "The slogan, 'Canada for Canadians,' is foolish, That means, 'Canada for the Eskimoes' and 'Canada for the Red Indians' They are the only simon-pure Canadians, The rest of us come from imported stock, and this country has been built up hy im- ported stock." This is a truth which is very often for- gotten by many people who seek to belittle those who have come from other countries to make Canada their home. Organizations like the Native Sons of Canada, for in- stance, forget that they themselves are descended from imported stock, and would place restrictions on those who come from the mother country, and from the coun- tries of Europe: They forget that, had the | same restrictions as they propose been | placed on their ancestors, it is doubtful if they themselves would be living in Canada y. Mr. Smyth's remarks constituted a fine plea for tolerance on the part of those who are third, fourth and fifth generation Cana- dians towards newcomers to this country. Canada has become a melting pot, and all | those who have come to it can make a con- tribution towards the development of a distinctive Canadian people. But this can only be possible by looking on the new- comers as of equal value in building up citizenship for the future as those who are descended from the settlers of past genera- tions. Editorial Notes It still looks like a Roosevelt victory, judging from the Literary Digest poll final returns, What a turnover it will be if the Digest's vote turns out to be all wrong. Great Britain is going to have a govern- ment scheme to solve the unemployment problem. We wonder if Mr, Bennett could secure an advance copy. Progressives voted with the government in the division on the Imperial Conference pacts. Representing as they do, the Cana- dian West, apparently they feel that they will help the farmers. The Fathers' Association expressed satis- faction with the changes in food supplies made by the Public Welfare Board. That makes it unanimous. The casualty lists make it appear as if there is still a war on over in Manchukuo. But they don't call it war any more.

Other Editor's Comments THE HARD-PRESSED LANDLORD (Chicago Tribune) New York is now doing on a considerable scale what Chicago and probably other large cities have been doing for some time. Its property owners arc tearing down buildings to escape the taxes on them. These are, of course, old buildings, but there is no profitable inducement to replace them, and the land is: left under the untaxable debris unless it can be used to some profit for car parking. To the spec- tacle of the new and increasing public domain ac- quired by forfeitures is added the waste of real cstate which cannot sustain a building and the taxes on it. There are two ways of making Government realize that it is at the end of its string. One is by rcason; the other by starvation, BITS OF VERSE AUTUMN Now is ended brown October Hovering crisp about the land, Turning all things sere and somber With its devasting wand; Hills and woodlands lately splendid-- Flaunting gold and scarlet leaf. Now their pageantry is ended. Spent their fires, consuming brief. Purple haze enfolds the regions Where the trees denuded stand, Wild geese fly in honking legions To a far-off summer land; In the fields the plowman, stalking, Turns the lengthening turrows o'er, All the treasures rich unlocking Of the carth's decp-hidden store; Summer's radiant joys are ended, Fruits are garnered, harvest's home, Tang of wood smoke's faintly blended With the vapors of the loam; Nature all her schemes arranges, Her munificence bestows, Weaving soft her subtle changes Ere she sinks to her repose.

Some of the experts get entangled in forests of formulas. They ought to make it their job to vet right through to the people. "Those who make goods are shortsighted if they look upon their goods as sold when they have de- posited them in the warchouse of a' wholesaler or upon the shelves of a retailer. No artjcle is truly sold until it has reached the hands of the man or woman who actually intends to usc it, "The manufacturer, in order to sell the right people the right article at the right price in the rizht place at the right time, must not leave his marketing to the haphazard channels by which so many excel- lent commodities today reach the consumer, Marketing must advance step by step with making. The methods employed must sell more goods at less cost to informed customers who demand them. "The modern factor in this busi- ness which alone can secure the cooperation of distributdes, can find markets, can inform customers, and can reduce the cost of the whole operation, is advertising. "The United States was the first country to discover that selling is made easier by the creation of 'pull' from the customer than by the ex- | speaker clusive use of 'push' from the manufacturer. "Onc of the effects of the ad- vance of popular education has been to make the reading of news- papers a universal habit. This in turn has built up the-very large aggregate sales of newspapers to- day, and has placed at the disposal of advertisers the most economical praducer of 'pull' so far discovered. "Markets, I say, are only people, and newspaper advertising is dem- onstrably the most certain and eco- nomical and the simplest method of placing a sales message before the people. As an Englishman 1 take off m+ hat to those Americans who have led the way in sales publicity, We in Britain are benefiting by their example. We try to get right through to the people."

To the Editor of the Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir:--Will you kindly al- low me through your paper to endorse the remarks made by Mr, Watkinson at the Centre St. School regarding Miss Farncomb. Unfortunately, like many more of our respectable citizens, I am unemployed, therefore about twa months ago I was reluctantly compelled to interview Miss Farncomb with the object of se- curing a little fire wood. I found Miss Farncomb both kind and sympathetic. She treated me with respect and that's more than can be said of many employees engaged in wel- fare, relief, or other unemploy- ment offices. I liked the calm, quiet thor- ough way she does her work--- no fuss. She knows her business and how to conduct it. 'As Mr. Watkinson says, she is a clever woman, a trained social worker and the right woman in the right place, I don't know the amount of her salary but I do know she earns it. [I visited her a fow days ago and received the same kind of treatment, one thing in particular striking me very for- eibly. She noticed my state of health and very thoughtfully gave me an order for wood that would not overtax my strength. I think I must have been struck dumb for I am sure I came away without thanking her for her kind consideration, Previous to these two visits I did not know Miss Farncomb nor did she know me from Adam. I am simply giving you a true statement of my observations and treatment at the hands of a lady who has not been at times treated fairly by some of the unemployed. Thanking you Mr. Editor in an- ticipation of this insertion, IT am sir, Yours faithfully, JUSTICE, N.
