D Tresiddar, representative REPRESENTATIVES IN VU. 8, Pevers and Stone, Inc. New York and Chisage THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1929 GENEROUS LEADERSHIP The splendid denations of $1,000 each made to the Oshawa Welfare and Christmas Cheer Fund by R, 8, McLaughlin and George W. McLaughlin provided Just the right touch of leadership needed by the citi- zens to stimulate them to generous and prompt dons ations for this worthy and pressing cause, These two gentlemen have ever been In the forefront of philan- thropie enterprise in Oshawa, and this latest sign of their desire to help others entitles them to the thanks of the whole community, and particularly of those who will be helped by their generosity, With so splendid an example, Oshawa's citizens should support the Welfare and Christmas Cheer Fund to the limit of their ability to give, Many thou. sands of dollars more will be required to meet the pressing needs of the present situation, and while there are not many people who can make donations of $1,000, there are thousands who can give some. thing, some much, some only a little, according to their means, All contributions be they large or small, will be received with gratitude, and surely, with so magnificent a start, the fund will swell from day to day until it reaches proportions of such magnitude that the Welfare Socicties organization will have fin. ancial backing sufficient to enable them to meet every cade of need in the city that cannot be taken care of through any other agency. THOSE TORONTO PAPERS AGAIN At Monday evening's meeting of the city coun, considerable time was devoted to reports which ap- peared in a certain Toronto newspaper and which the council, and rightly so, believed were derogatory to he fair name of Oshawa. These reports dealt with ® certain holdup incident, and, in effect, said that Oshawa was being swept by so serious a crime wave that the police were unable to e®pe with the situu- + This is by no means the first time that The Times, and the city council as well, have had to take cogni- zance of reports in Toronto newspapers which have \ sought to blacken the good name of Oshawa, The newspapers, of course, have no real interest in the city, and if they can, by the use of sensational lan- guage, blacken the reputation of Oshawa, they have ne compunction in doing 80, whether thé reports are founded on facts or net, The council had every justification for severely eri- ticising the report In question, and in condemning it a8 an cffort to charge against Oshawa a situation which does not exist, Outside newspapers, which have no other interest or stake in Oshawa other than their desire to sell copies of their papers, however, may not pay much attention to aldermanic criticism bes cause of their well-known desire to cater to sensa- tionalism, and their tendency to exaggerate facts out of all proportion to their truth, The unfortunate thing, bowever, is that some als dermen and officials have a tendency to view all news: papers as equally open to eriticism, For. instance, in the present case the chief of police has, because of the Toronto repprts, refused to allow the reporters of the Oshawa Daily Times the privilege of scanning the police blotter, although The Times has at no time been under criticism in this respect. The Times has always co-operated to the fullest extent with the police department, even to the extent of holding back news which might embarrass the police in their efforts to apprehend criminals, As a part of this community, The Times feels that j§ has a direct re- aponeibility to the citizens in this regard, and has always Been willing to carry out that responsibility, Instead of criticism, either direct or indirect, being levelled against The Times, this pewspaper feels that . & word of apprelation might be voiced 'for this co- operation. Porhaps there might be more considera- tion for this co-operation if some of the civic offi. elals would read more carefully the reports in their own city newspaper, and paid less attention to the garbled reports which so often appear in the Toronto newspapers, LET THE NATURAL LAW OPERATE y + Newspapers all over the Dominion of Canada, as well as in the United States are making a strong protest against efforts of the premiers of Ontario and Quebec to have the price of newsprint for the com- ing year fixed at $60 a ton, a figure $5.00 in excess of the present price, While there is no desire on 4he part of the newspapers to prevent the produders obtaining a fair price for newsprint, there is u strong feeling that this effort to interfere with the opera: tion of the natural law of supply and. demand is unwise, : At the present time, tho most serious factor in the newsprint industry is that of over-production, The supply available and under production is greater than the demand. That being so, it hardly seems reasons able that there should be au increase in price. f} : 4] In any industry in which there is an over-produc- tion, the most logical remedy is to be found in creat- ing an Increased demand, ahd It has yet to be found that an Increased price will bring about an Increased demand for. any, article, Rather would this be ac- Sombithed by a decrease in price which would stim- "ulate newspapers to a greater use of newsprint, thus absorbing much of the over-production, The news. papers, however, are not seeking a decrease, But they do most strongly protest against an increase which ls entirely contrary' te the operation of the law of supply and demand which should be allowed to govern any price-fixing effort, HAS HUMANITY FAILED? Newspaper despatches tell us that the Mennonites in Russia, having failed to secure assurance of a welcome In any other country, are now being sent Into forced exile in the wilds of Siberia, where a liv. ing death awaits them, All appeals to the humani- tarian sentiments of mankind appear to have failed, and three thousand of them, Ineluding many women and children, have been packed Into trucks, and started off on the long and dreary trek to thelr doom, It is somewhat of a reflection on humanity that a thing of this kind could occur In a world which is supposed to have reached a high state of civilization, It may be that the various Canadian provinces which refused to accept these refugees felt that they had good economic reasons for so doing, but sight has been lost of the fuet that the appeal to them was made on humanitarian grounds, to save these peopld from the fate which awaits them in the Siberian win. ter, While the Soviet leaders planning this outrage against civilization, humanity was silent, uncaring, and thus has been perpetrated a crime which will ever stand charged up against, not only Soviet Rus- sia, but also against those countries of the world whieh stood idly by and raised no hand to help these unfortynate people, TOBACCO CROP LOWER Like the wheat crop of the western provinces, the tobacco crop of Ontario is this year far below that of last year In quantity, But just as the smaller wheat crop created a better price situation, so are the tobageo growers likely to be better off financially this year than they, were 4 year ago, by reason of the smaller production of the tobacco fields, The crop this year is about two-thirds of what it was in 1928, which means that there will be that much less tobacco to supply the demand for more and mere of that particular crop, It will be recalled that last year, when the coun- try's record tobacco crop was produced, the growers found themselves in a serious position because of their inability to market it profitably, As has been the case with other crops, the huge production brought about a drastic reduction in prices, and some growers found it almost impossible to dispose of their crops at any price, Thus the dreams of fabulous wealth from the record crop were rudely shattered as the marketing of the crop at a profit became a serious problem, With the smaller crop, that problem will not be #0 apparent this year, There will be keener compe« tion between the various buyers to secure sufficient of the crop to meet their requirements, and the net resttlt will be that the smaller crop will stabilize prices at a more profitable level than was possible with the record crop of last year, GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS Oshawa has effected a federation of its charitable and community welfare organizations with a view to avoiding overlapping and to establishing a simpler and better method of financing, s The move is in the right direction, and The Exam- iner feels sure that before long a similar develop. ment will take place in all large centres where the need of a clearing house for charitable activities is clearly indicated. Under the haphazard system in vogue at present there is no question about the fact there is duplica« tion of services, overlapping and a considerable amount of wasted effort due to the circumstances, In addition, the public is called upon to contribute more than is really needed to finance the work, pro- vided the latter were co-ordinated by means of a cen- tral organization, Systematized social welfare work would take noth. ing away from the agencies at present in the field, but on the other hand would simplify their budget- ing and ensure full value for the time and money spent by them, It is a matter that deserves earnest consideration by local charitable organizations and by the public,~Pe~ terboro Examiner, BIENNIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS We notice in a local newspaper published in a small town of New York state, a reference to "our biennial town elections," We presume that the elec. ting of town councillors only once every two years is common to the small towns and villages over there, And the idea has a good deal to commend it, We in Ontario have the biennial election of school trustees, public utility commissioners and library board trustees and there seems just as much or even more reason for electing the councillor for a two- year term, It takes the average newly-elected coun cillor a full year to find his bearings at the council board, And not until he has served this apprentices ship is he qualified to give the public his best service, ==St, Mary's Journal-Argus, : EDITORIAL NOTES The final test of a gentleman is that he is able to disagree without being disagreeable, Monday was a really cold day ~ for a large batch of defeated candidates, The one thing which is in favor of the bylaw for the new police station is" that there are few things the city needs more, Modern progress makes most things obselete, and Wall Street has shown that Bagnum's guess of one a minute was far short of the present day erop, When the next snowfall comes, it might be worth while to remember that there are scores of men who would appreciate the opportunity of earning a dol lar or two by shovelling snow from your walks, ---- Every year increases the general opinion that there should be a fixed date for closing navigation on the Great Lakes, and that it should be well within the limits of safety, quintance with the poets and histor- Other Editor's Comments BE CERTAIN (Glasgow Herald) Before you sympathize with folks who are miserable, determines if they enjoy being miserable, | I'here are people who are never happy except when they're migdrable, TOO SAD FOR WORDS (Ottawa Citizen) "The ingratitude of monarchs and of democracies Is proverbial" says Lord Hewart speaking of the press "hut how about the ingratitude of readers?"

NATIONAL THEATRE SCHEME {Ottawa Journal) In the circumstances, and until the capital is given a decent supreme court building and a national art gal lery not to speak of other work of necessary development, could Parlia ment be got to vote money for a na- tional theatre?
