Gov't Expels (Continued from Page 1) by police barricades and attempted to charge police with Communist banners flying in the van, Lyon dispatches said. The strikers retired when police used the tear gas, but a sceond melee broke out 20 minutes later when a score of policemen going off duty tried to march through the centre of the demonstrators. Several policemen were reported beaten up in this struggle. The prefect firially agreed to see a delegation of the strikers this afternoon. Guard Stations In Paris, meanwhile, additional mobile guards and police were thrown around railway stations as trains continued to move on some lines in defiance of a general strike called by the National Federation of Railroad Workers. : This would be the second general rail strike call in five months by the Federation of Railroad Workers, which has some 600,000 members. The order was designed to halt even the intermittent service that has been operating on some lines since individual locals walked out last week to enforce demands that the present minimum wage of $58 a month be increased to $90 (at cur- rent exchange rates). . At the same time France's new Secretary of State for Communica- tions, Eugene Thomas, issued a communique declaring that "Com- munications, Eugene munist elements" were using "inti- midation and menace and trying to create an atmosphere of terror" to overthrow an anti-strike decision yesterday by the majority of the postal workers' union. Thomas charged that postmen on their rounds had been made "vic- tims of aggression." It was reportd that Premier Ro- bert Schuman's inner cabinet had agreed on a double-barrelled policy calling for general wage increases and stern law enforcement measures to combat the wave of strikes and disorders sweeping France. Informed sources said that the program would be presented to the full cabinet for consideration later in the day and that if approved the wage increases would then be offer- ed to union leaders.

They had/ planned this trip orginally in 1 but that was the year the dust began to blow and for 10 years the farmers there waged war against drought, dust, grasshoppers and taxes. About all they were able to raise {then was a fine crop of Russian thisles, a- weed which survives with little water. What wheat there was in the dust bowl sold at 25 cents a bushel. Today it is around $1.20. During the war, also the town was host to the RAF, its climate affording more training flying hours than any other location in the world, of Leading Citizen (Continue from Page 1) six occasions, being first elected in 1810 and serving subsequently in 1911 and 1015. Responding to the urging of members of the Oshawa Civic Improvement League, he returned to serve as mayor in 1933, 1934, and 1935 and through his leadership and those associated with him was suc- cessful in steering the city through thé troublous years when Oshawa was on the brink of bankruptcy. However, he did not confine his energies to this phase of commun- ity effort, He was the first president of the Oshawa Red Cross Society when it was organized in 1815 and continued in that office until Feb- ruary, 1946. A member of the Board of Governors of the Victorian Order of Nurses at the time of his death, he was the first president of the local branch when it. organized in 1933 and served in this capacity un- til he resigned this year, His love of agriculture, which he retained from his youth in Whitby Township was evidenced by the fact that he retained ownership of the family homestead and spent most of (is leisure time there. His assistance to agriculture in the dis trict was well known through his work as president of the South On- tario - Agricultural Society for a number of years. In between his political and legal duties, Mr. Sinclair spent most of his time on his farm. He was a practical farmer and helped per- sonally with threshing, harvesting and all the farm c)erations. Entered Legislature in 1911 When Mr. Sinclair was first elect- ed to the Ontario ! Legislature in 1911, one of the leading Liberals at that time said it was from such men as he that leaders were chosen. Twelve years later Mr. Sinclair be- came leader of the Liberal party. The fortunes of the Liberal Par- ty were at a low ebb both in On- tario and in the Dominion when Mr. Sinclair assumed the leadership. In the Legislature the Party . had warmed the . opposition benches since 1905 and in 1919 had suffered further losses when the United Farmer Movement reached its peak and swept a farmer government in. to power. This regime ended in 192% with an overwhelming victory for the Conservatives. Hon, G. Howard Ferguson became premier with a large majority of the House behind him and the then Liberal leader Wellington Hay, fail- ed to retain his seat. Out of the little group of Liberals still left in the House Mr. Sinclair was the un- animous choice for the leadership. He had not taken a particularly prominent place in the debates of The House but his financial eriti- cism of the government had won him the respect of all parties. 'The political significance of Mr. Sinclair's elevation lay in the fact that it put an end to talk of a rap- proachment between the Liberal and United Farmer or Progressive groups. The new leader had been one of the severest critics of the BE. C. Drury Government in The House from 1919 to 1923 and shortly after he was made leader he declared The Liberal, Party would stand alone and, though rrepared to welcome any former Progressives into its fold would make no arrangements with that party. Mr. Sinclair had an uphill fight before him, however, but the elec- tion of 1926 the following increased from 13 to 21 members. . He won and held the confidence of his fol- lowers in The House and though small in numbers the Liberal Party under his leadership wielded an in- fluence in the legislature. Strong Temperance Advocate Perhaps the most debated topic during these years in Ontario poli- tics was the liquor question. The Ontario Temperance Act, virtually a prohibitive law, was in force when Mr. Sinclair became head of the Liberal Party. Dissatisfaction with it was growing, however, and strong pressure was to be brought on the newly elected Ferguson Government to change the law. It had the sanc- tion of a large majority of the elec tors of the province at a plebiscite taken in 1919. Another plebiscite, the holding of which was opposed by Mr, Sinclair, was held and the law again sustain- ed, though by a reduced majority. When Mr. Ferguson went to the country in 1926 it was on a platform of government control and sale of liquor and after a declaration that there would be no more plebiscites as long 'as he remained in power, There were strong "wet" elements in the Liberal Party and even be- fore the Conservatives launched their government control poMecy many Liberals had pressed for the adoption of this policy by their par- ty. Had Mr. Sinclair not been a firm believer in the principle of prohibi- tion the course of Ontario politics might have been changed. But he held stoutly to a defence of the On- tario Temperance Act and fought the election on that issue. The re- sult wag the return of Premier Fer- guson with a loss of only three seats. The 21 Liberals elected were split on the liquor question. Several, including practically all the repres- entatives of ridings where the French-Canadian vote predominat. ed were pledged to support govern- ment control and the remainder were pledged to prohibition, * Entered Politics In 1911 Mr. Sinclair sat in the Legislature as the representative of South Ont- ario Riding from 1911 to 1915 but was defeated in the election of 1915. In 1917, he was unsuccessful' Liberal candisate for the House of Com. mons, but was re-elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1919, 1923 and 1926. He retired from provincial politics in 1934, It was only after - considerable pressure has been brought to bear that he consented to run as .the Liberal candidate in the federal election in 1945, and won the seat in a three.cornered contest. From his earliest boyhood, Mr. Sinclair had been a staunch Liberal. Old school mates recalled many heated arguments on politics in which he participated at the little country school. Though he took lit- tle interest in public speaking in his school days, Mr. Sinclair was al. ways the .champion on the Libefal cause against the young Conserva- tives of the community, Active Lodge Members 'He maintained a keen interest in his fraternal affiliations and until | recent years was extremely active. | Following a prior term as Worship- 4 Oshawa Owner Among Cattle Award Winners Toronto, Nov. 26 (CP)--Enchan- tress, owned by the Witham Farms of Romeo, Mich., yesterday won the grand championship fo female Aberdeen-Angus beef cattle 'a Royal Winter Fair's cattle show af- ter taking the senior female title.

At the time of his death, he was a director of Oshawa Temple Buildings Limit- ed. He was also a member of the Knights Templar, St. John, the Almoner; of Pentalpha Chapter R. AM. and of Rameses Shrine Tem- ple. He was also a member of the Thirty Club. In recognition of his many con- tributions to the: development of Oshawa, he was honored by the Oshawa Kinsmen Club in 1934, when he was chosen as the city's leading citizen of the year and was the guest of honor at a dinner at- tended by manyf of the prominent citizens of thé clty and district. A lifelong member of the Pres- byterian Church; the deceased was a staunch supporter of Knox Pres- pyterian Church, Oshawa, which he attended whenever possible. Since Church Union in 1925, he had been, of great assistance to the congrega- tion, and gave freely of his advice to the members of its boards. Mr. Sinclair was married in 1907 to Miss Minerva Montgomery, who died the same year. In 1918 he married Miss Edna Worden, who survives. Other survivors are & daughter, Mrs. Allen G.

Sinclair of Barrie, Widely Mourned (Continued from Page 1) which he was held by his fellow citizens is evidenced by the many times he was elected mayor of Osh- awa. An active force in the public life of Ontario for nearly 26 years, a member of the provincial legisla- ture for 21 years and leader of the Liberal Party in Ontario for seven years, Mr. Sinclair was a powerful influence in the support of all that was best in provincial politics, time in the House of Commons was all too short. Within two years from his election to parliament he was stricken by a fatal illness. The passing of Mr. Sinclair removes from the scene a man of admirable public spirit who = will be widely mourned by all] who knew him. George Drew, Premier of Province of Ontario Mr. Sinclair's death is a great loss to the whole of Ontario. For long years he has been a loyal and faithful public servant, who gave his time and energy unsparingly to everything that he regarded to be in the public interest. Those of us who had the privilege of knowing him personally will always have a warm spot in our hearts when we remember the man we always thought of as "Billy Sinclair", Officially, I know that I am ex- pressing the opinion of the mem- bers of the Legislature wlien I say that it was always recognized in his responsible posifion in the On- tario Legislature that he was guid- ed by the greatest integrity of purs pose and always did ewhat he thought was right. His Worship Mayor Frank N. McCallum > The death of W. E, N, Sinclair, K.C,, M.P., this morning comes to me as a distinct, shock, In his passing Oshawa says "goodbye" to a citizen who has rendered a life. long service in practically every capacity of municipal, provincial and federal life. As was mentioned in The Times-Gazette last week over the signature of one of his colleagues, Hon, Mr, Gordon, of Peterboro, "Not only Ontario Riding but Canada owes a great debt to W. E. N, Sinclair, I am suggesting that this man should be recogniz. ed 38 one of Canada's great statesme.." \ In the earlier days of Oshawa he assumed his place as a good citizen at the forefront of the town's business planning and was a tower of strength to this corpor- ation from then on, serving as jte Chief Maglslrale, lhe community's member in both provincial and federal houses. Wé shall miss him very much, eg T. K. Creighton, K.C.,, M.L.A. With thé death of Mr. Sinclair there has ended a long and con- sistent career of steady, faithful and diligent service to this ccmmunity, Seldom in Oshawa's history has any man lived so long and able a ca- His | reer in so many forms of public dervice. He earned and held the confidence and respect of his pro- fession and the public to an. extra- crdinary degree. In his political ca- reer as in his private life, he adher- ed rigidly to his lifelong principles ©: honesty, candor and sincerity. His passing will be widely mourned and will leave a wide gap in our com- munity life, W.'A. Wecker The loss of W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., M.P., will be felt in a very real way by the whole community. The world knew Mr, Sinclair for his integrity and strength in civie provincial and dominion affairs, but here at home he was held in something greater than respect and admira- tion for more personal reasons, He counted the wuole population of 'Oshawa among his neighbors and friends and served them not only in public office but in countless other ways. In all his associations he dis- played a friendliness and simplicity of manner which are the marks of the great and the statesmanlike. E. A. Lovell I feel that we have lost a valu~ able citizen and a friend, one who always had the interests of the City of Oshawa at heart. ? James Heffering Before and during my many years as President of the Liberal Association of Ontario Riding, Mr. Sinclair has not only héen a close and valued friend but a very close associate in political matters, and his pass- ing will be a profound loss, beth by the community dn which he has served for so many years, and in his political party. I can truly say that there is no ¢itizen in this riding that has been held consist. ently in higher esteem than the late Mr, Sinclair, g F. L. Mason Another of the Old Guard has passed along. No other man, to my knowledge, enjoyed the confi. dence of the citizens of Oshawa and the County of Ontario as long and continuous as Mr, Sin- clair. He was always ready to of- fer his services when serious and important matters confronted the citizens of Oshawa. To his be- reaved wife and daughter I offer my sincere sympathy, W. H. Moore, Dunbarton This is a deep personal loss and an irreparable loss to the com- munity, ! H, P. Schell The City of Oshawa has lost a most respected and outstanding public spirited citizen in the death of Mr, Sinclair.

Personally I have lost a good friend. Judge J. C. Anderson, Belleville, Ont. : It is with profound regret that I just learned of the passing of W. E. N. Sinclair, X.C, M.P. For twenty years I was associated in the prac tice vof law and in public life with Mr. Sinclair and he was ever true to the highest ideals of his profes. sion and of public life. His long life of service to clients from all walks of life and his long and dis- tinguished public career will ever remain as a monument to the me- mory of this true Christian gentle- man. Hon, G. D, Conant, K.C. - The passing of Mr. Sinclair will be deeply regretted by citizens of Oshawa and Ontario. A_native of the County of Ontario, *he attain- ed provincial status and was high- ly respected by many people in the province, His integrity was conced- ed by all and his sincerity was questioned by few. His death marks a distinét and regretable break with the past. Sincere sympathy for his family will be extended by citizens of all classes, creeds and rarties. George W. Garner" In the passing of W. E, N. Sin- clair, K.C.,, M.P., Oshawa has lest one of its most distinguished ctti- zens. He gave unstintingly of his time and advice to the Red Cross and was willing to assist any organ- ization here in the city and throughout the County. Mr, Sinclair was a Charter Member of the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce and we in the Chamber certainly feel his "passing keenly. James R. MacBrien On my first encounter with Mr. Sinclair I found him a doughty, cool-headed opponent, In the years since this early meeting I have dis- covered him as a well-respected, useful citizen, known throughout the length and breadth of Ontario County, Our City, County, Province and Country has profited by his presence and will regret his passing. . Dr. W. H. Gifford My father and the late Mr. Sin- clair were always great friends and I am happy that this friendship was inherited by my generation. I have hag much to do with Mr. Sinclair during the last 40 years and conse- quently know something of the irre- parable loss that not only this com- munity - but much wider fields will suffer as a result of his passing. He wis certainly an honest and sincere citizen and gave all his life to serve ing his ccmmunity. Thomas H. Harding Warden, Ontario County The news of the death of W, E. N. Sinclair, K.C., M.P., will be keenly felt by the people of On- tario riding. I have heard nothing but the highest regards expressed in connection with him. The members of the County Council in session tiday will recognize the passing of this important citizen. W. A, Dryden Mr. * Sinclair's illness for the past number of weeks has been a matter of deep concern to those who knew him, His many well- wishers had constant dbout his daily condition, W, E. N, Sinclair has been a lifelong friend and his support and friend. ship will be missed not only by me but by the many organizations which he has.so actively support. ed. I feel that I speak not only for all of South Ontario but for thou. sands of friends and others who feel they have also lost a man concern || whose serious interest in their welfare was of first concern to him. W. A. Fraser, Trenton- Personally I have lost a friend of many years standing in the death of W, E, N, Sinclair, and his native city as well as the pro. vince as a whole have lost an out- standing citizen and onz who has given freely of his time and abil. ity to _the welfare of the people.

A. W. 8, Greer' In Mr, Sinclair's death, the le- ga) profession as a whole has sus. tained an irreparable loss. His st"™.~ing in the community and his devotion to serving, particul- arly the Provifice of Ontario, in all probability had a great deal to do with his demise, He was al- ways a scholar and an esteemed lawyer but above all a géntleman and ne was the epitome of all those attributes one should hope to find in a person wno has held so many positions in public life. Oshawa in particular has lost a devoted friend, C. C. McGibbon and E. F. Bastedo The hews of Mr. Sinclair's un- timely death will be received with sincere sorrow by all with whom he has been associated, including his clients over the long years of practice of law and members of the legal profession throughout the province.

Council in 1948, OSHAWA To The People of Oshawa:- I feel greatly honored that the people of Oshawa have seen fit to return me to office as their_ Chief Magistrate for the year 1948 by acclamation. As I stated on the air last night, your Council of 1946 and 1947 has undertaken plans for many major developments and I honestly feel that by serving another year that it will be definitely in the interests of all concerned. I regret very much that some of the aldermen of the present term could not see their way clear to stay in council during the coming year, because their experience I am sure would have been most helpful. However, other good citizens have come forward and filled the ranks and I am sure they will serve their community well. Oshawa is entering an' era of development and your council will need the sympathetic co-operation and assist- ance of every citizen if it is to maintain the ideals established and accomplish the undertakings that are now planned. I am anxious to extend my grateful appreciation to those who have rendered such-valuable service with me in the past and I extend a very warm welcome to those who will join the new | Frank N.
