TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1930 THE MAYOR'S ADDRESS The inaugural address, delivered by Mayor Mit- chell at the meeting of the city council last night is a document which indicates a recognition of some of the most pressing of the immediate problems be- fore the city of Oshawa. As a city which has grown rapidly, and which continues to grow, Oshawa is in the position of having to face, all at once, many is- sues which, in citics of slower growth, have been spread over a dong period of time. were, jumped from the town to the city stage so sud- denly that demands for improvements in many di- rections became urgent, and it has not yet been pos- sible to catch up with them, Mayor Mitchell's ad- dress 'takes recognition of this condition, and put forward plans for making further progress, in 1930, towards meeting some of the critical needs of the city. EJ " # In the foreground of the civic program for 1930 is the project for the establishment here of a sew- Oshawa, as it~" L The eity council, however, has a, difficult task ahead of it in deciding which tasks should be under- taken at once, and which should be left over until another year. There are many things the people would like to see done, but no community can expect to do everything at once. Even in a city which has grown as rapidly as Oshawa has done, there must be orderly deyclopment, and large projects can only be undertaken as quickly as the finances of the city and conditions in the city will warrant. Doubtless, however some of them will be definitely set in mo- tion this year, and will help to make 1930 a year of further progress towards making Oshawa "The Com- plete City." . : DOES THE PACT MEAN ANYTHING Judging from the the pre-conference exchange of views betweén the nations interested, and particu- larly between France and Great Britain, it would ap- pear that the naval conference which will assemble at London on January 21 will have a goed deal to discuss besides the limitation of naval armaments. The French attitude is that this question is bound up entirely in the question of guarantees of secur- ity, and that this brings it very definitely within the scope only of the League of Nations. In the French opinion, the Pact of Paris, or, as it is more generally known, the Kellogg-Briand pact outlawing war, does not give that measure of security which could be provided under the League of Nations covenant, and France is disposed to hold it as of little account, The Kellogg-Briand pact was signed by fifty six nations of the world, all of whom agreed to outlawing war as an instrument of national policy. The whole crux of the French argument, put for- ward as a preliminary to' the naval limitation con- ference, is whether or not this pact means anything. It either means what it says, or it is only a-Serap of paper. The nations which signed it and ratified, it must. either be prepared to honor their signatufcs, or it becomes of no effect. ~~ But the same is true of all international agrec- ments. They are only binding so far as the na- tions hid them are honorable enough to live up to the terms of the agreements. The day' of treating a solemn international treaty as a scrap of paper is, it is to be hoped, gone forever. It passed away in 1914 when Germany treated a solemn na- tional obligation as a scrap of paper rode roughshod over the agreements of its governments, and paved the way for the coming doom of that great nation, In the face of that breach of faith, that violation of national honor, and its disastrous results, surely it is inconceivable that any nation in the world would have any desire to ignore its pledged word and its sblemn treaty obligations in the future. The attitude of France, on that basis, is hard to understand, unless it be that the delegates from that country are trying to provide themselves with good arguing points in the hope of securing concessions. As a guarantee of security, 4the signatures on the Kellogg-Briand pact should be just as effective as those on the League of Nations covenant. These signatures represent, very largely, the same natiors, except that the signature of United States appearing -on the Kellogg-Briand pact has been ratified, while that country has never accepted the responsibilities Other Editor's Comments "7" GUARD THE HEALTH (Toronto Mail and Hapire) Indianapolis is in the grip of a scourge of meningitis with twenty- two. deaths'in ten days, adults and children.

THOMAS' RELIEF SCHEMES (Edinburgh Scotsman) ~My, Thomas' schemes are abso- Iutely barren of new ideas to give a permanent upl#l to industry.

UNFAIR ADVANTAGE (Chatham Daily News) Commenting upon the vexed question of municipal income tax, which is attracting so much atten- tion in the newspapers of Ontario, the Hamilton Herald thinks that because Windsor does not enforce this impost, it has attracted new citizens by the thousands and ia experiencing phenomenal growth. The Brantford Expositor claims that the fact that the income tax is not uniforfaly applied, and by some cities not at all as its great. est weakness and gives cne munl- cipality an advantage over another that should not be permitted, THE SOVIET CENSORSHIP (New York Tiwi 0) Censorship of the primed word in Russia is what it woul' #3 ex- pected. It is enforced In the most arbitrary manner. There is a sup- reme board, the Glavlit talked fully about the censorship the other day to an English interviewer. Pub- lished books must correspond with the policies of the government. This official said: "At the present time we should not permit the is- sue, in large and vopular editions, of any works which contradict the fundamental economic ohjectives, the industrialization of aericulture. Somewhat more latitude in suc™ matters is granted to scientific pub- Meations with a limited circula- tion." A book in defense of the well-to-do peasant was lately vro- hibited. Another hook that set out to prove the thesis that "the Nus- afan villnze conld not stand the re- volution," was also forbidden.

Barion, M.D. WATER WITH MEALS { One of the theories that was ac- | cepted years ago was that the drink- ling of water before, during, or in- | mediately after meals was unwise as it so diluted the stomach juice--made it so thin--that it lost some of its power to digest food. As a matter of fact a little fluid before, during and after meals is really helpful as it has been found that the digestive' juices, in fact all the juices of the body need: plenty of fluid and do their work better if given a good supply of fluid. This was first noticed when it was discovered years ago that the amount of urine thrown off by the kidneys varied with the amount of water | taken, Now an over supply of water at one time, say three or four glassfuls, in an individual with a narrow body, | Bits of Verse persons ill in Ballimore are em ployed in a pet s.op, which re- cently received a shipment of birds which so often means a "dropped stomach," or in an individual whose | stomach is placed low, causes the stomach to drop still further. This | means an extra long climb up for the | food before it can get out of | stomach into intestine. This bulk of water' also interferes to some extent with the muscular action of the-sto- mach, However a Russian research physi- cian, Dr, W. H. Gantt, has been able {to show that when the water intake) {is insufficient the amount of stomach digestive juice becomes greatly les- sened. Now this means that a little water should be taken regularly aside from meals, Dr. Gantt points out that babies should be given a httle more water than is usually given, because the needs of the youngster are determ- ined by the allowance of the parent or nurse rather than by the instincts of the baby. A point to remember is that when you see foods that you like the dig- estive juices of the mouth and stom- ach, and even of the pancreas also, begin to flow and the food thus gets a really good start towards digestion, With food that you do not ie | there is nt such a flow of juice. There fore it would be wise to drink a littl more water th that particular meal The water helps out in a mechanical way by softening the food and mak- ing it more liquid, but also because it really stunulates a greater flow of stomach digestice juice. In overweight individuals whose tissues hold more water than the tis: | tsues of others, the water intake | should "be guarded. They should drink when thirsty but take only a quarter or half a glassful of water, And sadly murmur as the twilight Where Telling of gentle folk and their affcc Tender and placid as a forest pool.

This survey was made by Gore, Nasmith and Stor- rle, consulting engineers of Toronto, who, on July 24 Mayor Mitchell, in his inaugural address to the city council last night, voices a splendid thought in his reference to the value of trces to the community, Too often, in the onward march of industrial pro- gress, little thought is given to the beauties which are created in a community by the presence of trees, and they are swept out of the way to make way for industralism.

The mayor is also standing on safe grounds when Bebe Daniels in the title role, he recommends to the city council that immediate ac- tion will have to be taken to improve accommodation for the police department.
