Remembrance Day a Holiday The merchants of Oshawa have decided that they will observe Friday, November 11, in accordance with the statute which makes that day a national holiday, to be known as Remembrance Day, and will make it a complete holiday and Mayor Hawkes is issuing a proclamation to that effect. There has been much uncertainty regarding this holiday, probably because it was only inaugurated last year, and be- cause it was not universally observed a year ago. The merchants, however, have recognized that the legal status of the holiday is beyond question, and that it has the same status as Victoria Day, Dominion Day and Labor Day- : This year, Remembrance Day will be 'recognized in the terms of the law much more generally than was the case a year ago. Many. towns and cities which ignored it then are this year co-operating in mak- ing it as it was intended to be, a full day get aside to the sacred memory of the men of Canada who paid the supreme sacrifice in the war, and Oshawa, so far as the mer- chants are concerned, is included in this list. Oshawa, of course, is in a peculiar situ- ation because of its close proximity to Tor- onto, where there is not likely to be a gen- eral closing of all places of business. In some respects, this city has to follow the example of Toronto, but this year the mer- chants are acting on their own, are deter- mined to stand on their own feet, and make their own decisions, irrespective of what Toronto might do. This stand has been endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, so that there is a definite assurance that this year there will be in Oshawa, a genuine effort to observe the day in the spirit that was intended in the passing of the Remembrance Day Act, and to fall in line with government and municipal offices, including the post office, and customs office, and the banks, in clos- ing for business on this historic day. A Word to the Unemployed The Kingston Whig-Standard, in a lead- ing editorial, makes some pointed com- ments on the distribution of relief to fami- lies in distress, and to the general attitude of the unemployed in these times of stress, One paragraph, in particular, stands out. It says: "We would caution the against paying too much attention to 'grous- ers'. They are usually men who want more than the other fellow, and even then are never satisfied. They belong to the small group of 'chronics' known to every relief worker. Of fully ninety per cent. of the men and their wives it is difficult to speak too highly. Their attitude js always reasonable, and they appreciate the help it 1s possible to give. We are passing through difficult times, when nerves are frayed and tempers work, A little sweet reasonableness is all that is needed to carry us through this try- ing period, in a manner in keeping with the , traditions of this fine old loyal city." In some respects, that paragraph might well have been written of the situation in Oshawa. The great bulk of the people on relief here have shown commendance self- restraint and courage under trying condi- tions. There have been the 'grousers', it is true, and as was the case in the old army days, they are usually the people with the loudest tongues. The great mass of the people who are receiving relief would do well to pay little attention to them, and to earry on in the splendid man- ner in which they have conducted them- selves so far. A Problem For Electors Today the electors of the United States go to the polls to select their next president and other federal and state officers and offi- cials. Looking over a sample ballot paper which came into the office the other day, we could not help thinking that the task facing the electors over there is a tremen- dous one. Those who have seen the ballot paper used, for instance, in Detroit, at the time of the presidential election must have felt that herc was a problem to tax the brain capacity of even a Philadelphia unemployed men | lawyer. The ballot paper which lies before us is & big sheet about the size of a double news- paper page. It has ten wide columns, each representing a political party or faction, with an emblem for each party at the head of its columns. And in these columns are listed the candidates for president, for governor and other state officials, for state senator, state legislature representa- tives, and county judge, sheriff, and other officials, even down to the county drain commissioner. In all, t' ere are forty offi- ces, from the president down, to be voted on by means of this ballot paper, and there are the names of 170 candidates on the ballet. Of course, the average electors can simplify the procedure by simply voting the straight party ticket, but woe betide the man who is not a partisan, and who wishes ! spread his choices between sev- eral of the ten parties. He has a worse problem before him than the hardest jig- saw puzzle ever invented. In contrast with the Canadian system, with its simplicity and straight-forward balloting, the United States method is a terribly complicated affair. One wonders how it can be made effective, in view of the cosmopolitan nature of the population of the country, and the low standards of liter- acy which prevail in many sections and among many racial groups. In fact, know- ing the troubles which returning officers and deputy-returning officers have even under our own election system, we shudder to think of what might happen here if our electors were suddenly confronted with an atrocity such as the ballot paper which the electors in Detroit will be marking today. Editorial Notes Make Friday a real day of sacred remem- brance. We venture to predict that today's elec- tion in the United States will be won by a candidate with a "V" and two "O's" in his name. Beyond that, we do not care to prophesy. This year's Poppy Day returns fell far short of those of previous years. There is no sign, however, if any falling-off in the needs of those who benefit from it. Canada is now endeavoring to negotiate a new trade agreement with France. With the Empire agreements now safely out of the way, it is all right to negotiate with other countries with what is left in the way of bargaining materials. The Communists have made big gains in the German election, but they are still far from securing control. It begins to look as if the other towns and cities of Ontario are setting an example to '"Ultra-loyal" Toronto in the observance of Remembrance Day.

LIVES OF BUSINESS MEN (Raphael Demos in The Yale Review) Whatever the code of business may be, it ac- cepts at present the theory that business is a con- dition of war, and the rules you are required to obey are those of war. It would be quite wrong to say that the business man has less social feeling than other people. I am only saying that his social feeling is generally expressed outside his circles of business activities and not inside. So he lives a double life: in business he follows the code of pro- fit, and as a human being he promotes the social welfare. It is the policy of not letting your right hand know what your left hand is doing. This is most unbu.inesslike. We have learnt to put more business into our charities, It is far more import- ant to put more social feeling into our husiness. And ar .e do this, charity will become less and less necessary.

Doak will be cen- tralized in the introduction of a bill soon afer Congress convenes in De- cember providing drastic changes in deportation procedure, The bill is now being prepared by Reuben Op- penheimer of Baltimore, legal ex- pert of the Wickersham Commis- sion, who made a detailed analysis for that body of the operation of | che deportation system of late years, { Mr. Oppenheimer is seeking the | aid of lawyers and welfare wark- | ers who have been closely associat- ed with the activities of immigra- | tion inspectors in their search for | and ousting of aliens from this | country. The major feature of the | bill will provide for a board of re- view composed of five members en. tirely separate from the Department | of Labor and to be appointed by the President. Under the proposed | measure. aliens will have the right | of appeal to this board which will | be empowered to set aside all deci- | sions of the Department of Lahor | in any case, including the decision of the Secretary of Labor, who now | has sole authority to issue deporta- tion warrants. Rights of Aliens The bill will also seek to throw | safeguards around any arrested alien so that he may have the right of counsel at all examinations, in- cluding the preliminary one, in keep, ing with the guarantees of the con- stitution. Tt will seek to render im- possible the prolonged detention of aliens in the absence or documen- tary cvidence of their citizenship and of lexal grounds making them liable to deportation. In brief, the bill will be an attempt to codify the recommendations of the Wick- ersham Commission. which were aimed to cure the abuses of immi- gration inspectors acting, gencrally mm secret in the combined capacity of arresting officer, judge, jury and prosecutor. The bill will probably be sponsor- ed by Senator Robert F. Wagner, Democrat, of New York, who was the first senator to protest the "ruthless and Cossack" activities of the immigration inspectors two win- ters ago. The particular occasion which aroused the indignation of Senator Wagner was the raiding of a Finnish dance in New York and the lining up against the walls by immigration inspectors of several hundred guests and compelling them to produce evidence of their citizen- ship before they were allowed to de- part for their homes. Under the present procedure the Department of Labor has complet= ed jurisdiction of all the steps in de- portation. As a concession to the Wickersham criticism, the depart- ment ostensibly changed its prac- tiscs to the extent of having a hoard of review, consisting of five officials of the department, sit upon cvery case hefore turning it over to the Secretary of Labor with recommen- dations. Earlier practice limited a _-~liminary review of each case to only one member of the board be- the secretary acted. | Must Have Influence As the procedure actually works now, no alien gets a thorough air- "1g of his case unless he happens to have the backing of lawyers or civil liberties organizations who are cap- able of causing publicity on the case and of carrying it into the courts 0. habeas corpus proceedings. The probabilities of favorable ac- tion upon the proposed Wickersham Commission's reforms are good, es- pecially if the election on Novem- ber 8 carri with it a Democratic sweep, A number of congressmen, notably Congressman Cooke of the Buffalo district (co-author of the ickstein Bill placiny 'members of naturalized aliens' farcilies on a non-quota basis) are aniking the de- | portation question of major issue in their campaigns for election or re- election, Meanwhile, the Department of Labor and the Republican campaign speakers issue frequent bulletins ex- pressing pride in the deportation record of the Administration, One such bulletin recently issued by the department states: The exodus of alien residents of the United States now exceeds the | migrants | ernment by force or violence. new arrival by over 3 to 1, 8783 emigrants having departed in Au- ust, 1932. In the same month of ast year, 9,541 emigrants departed for intended future permanent resi- dence in a foreign country, or about seven leaving for every three im- arrived, but in August, 1930, less than three emigrants de- parted for every seven immigrants admitted, Of the emigrants in' Au- gust last, 3,114 were laborers, 1,119 were skilled workers, 1,407 were of the professional and miscellaneous classes, and 3,143 were listed as having no occupation--mainly wo- men and children." To Remedy Abuses Joined with the attempt to rem- edy the abuses described by the Wickersham Commission will be an attempt to repeal the wartime pro- visions of the immigration law mak- ing liable to deportation any alien adjudged to hold "subversion views". Under this provision the d_partment has been' successful in deporting a number of alien Com- munists on the grounds that they belong to an organization which ad- vocates the overthrow of the gov- The legal question involved in such de- portation has not yet been passed upon by the United States Supreme Court, In this connection, it is recalled that Assistant Secretary W." W. Husband recently admitted that the activities of immigration inspectors in searching out alien radicals for deportation have been possible lar- gely because the inspectors, in view of the practical complete cessation of immigration, have little else to do. U.S. Output of Gold Heavier New York.--Estimatds of the An:- erican Bureau of Metal Statistics indicate that production of gold in the United States during the cur- rent year has increased at a faster rate than that of any other major producing country.
