THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1930 PAGE NINETEEN DIPLOMATIC TACT { DIRECTS APPLAUSE Ronald Lindsay Leads "Is Unheard | \ London, Feb. 26.--Sir Ronald Lindsay, the newly appointed Brit- ymbassador to Washington, has given a public demonstration ihr his qualities of quick-wittedness and diplomatic tact. At a recent banquet. a foreign ident in London made a speech. Probably it was a good speech but unfortunately it was altogether naudible to anyone not sitting in he Speaker's immediate vicinity, nd there was even some doubt a dffew yards away from him as to he language in which it was being delivered--the majority vote final- deciding that it was French. e distinguished audience was anxious to. do honor to one of its liguests but was in a dilemma, as it as perfectly impossible to tell vhen the oration should be punctu- | lated with polite applause, discreet iBaughter or murmurs of sympathy. It was Sir Ronald Lindsay who javed the situation. Both from the act that he was sitting next to he speaker and from his linguis- ic attainments he was the one pan in the room who was able to get some inkling of what was lzoing on, and quite early in the fldiscourse he broke into -the pro- lfccedings with a sonorous 'hear, linear" that was immediately echoed iy the remainder of the grateful udience, which during the rest of he speech followed Sir Ronald's ead with remarkable rapidity and unanimity. When the speaker finally sat flown it was to the accompaniment pf an ovation.

That is the keynote of the observ- ance of the Massachusetts Bay tercentenary. was the first large settlement in America to be completley self gov- erning. The principles of free gov- ernment thus established profound- ly affected subsequent American history, It was on June 12, 1630, that Gov. John Winthrop arrived off Salem with the precious charter granted by Charles I. Settlement already had been made by the Pil- grims at Plymouth, by the Puritans around Salem and by other groups, cn the New England coast. Other colonies had been estab- lished farther south along the At- lantic seaboard. But the coming of John Winthrop with the char- ter to the Massachusetts Bay col- The Massachusetts Bay colony, ony ,established a precedent. For the first time the controlling group of a large colony had transferred its seat of control to the new world with a charter recognizing its authority to run its own affairs, It will also commemorate the founding of the settlements of Bos- ton, Charlestown, Medford, Water- town, Roxbury, Newton, Dorches- ter, Cambridge and Brookline, The observance will be state- wide, Throughout the spring, sur- mer-~and until late fall there will be a procession of observances by scores of individual communities from Nantucket to Berkshire, FRENCH NARCOTIC TRADE FLOURISHES Seven Deaths Cause Realiza- tion Tonlon Becoming Headquarters Toulon, France, Feb, 26.--Seven deaths from narcotics in the past few months have aroused the au- thorities to the realization that this French marine station seems likely to be the narcotic heddquarters of Europe. The latest death was that of a millionaire merchant of Nice who had extensive interest in Can- ada and the United States. He ar- rived with two friends with the express purpose of getting a new sensation, located an opium place took an overdose and died. Singapore or . Bombay cannot boast of a more mysteripus dope quarter, Opium dens, hasheesh houses, cellars where other drugs are sold almost openly cannot be missed by anyone who secures a proper guide. Detection by the po- lice is made extremely difficult be- cause the source of supply is not in the hands of one ring but is spread through groups who smug- gle the drugs from the Orient and dispose of them in small quantities. From Toulon the narcotics find their way all along the Rlviera, even to within a few miles of the Italian border, where a stately villa conceals one of the most luxurious opium halls of the world, Though watched continually by the police and raided from time to time, no incriminating evidence has ever been secured. Marseilles and Toulon are now sald to be running a close race for being known as the crime centre of France and the Mediterranean, a general title unanimously handed Port Sald for many years, Premier Tardieu recently stepped into the race Marscilles was making when he shifted police officials, demot- ing several of them, following a popular uproar after a jury had practically stated that ten years imprisonment "was enough fora murderer.

Since sail passed from the seven seas, superseded by steam, and steam seems well on the way to be superseded by Diesel en- gines, engineers the world over have been secking new labor sav- | ing devices. So recently, Iron Mike made his appearance. He is manu- factured on the gryoscopic principle just like those little teys we used to buy when we were youngaters. Through electricity he is connected to the gyro-compass, another jn- vention on the same principle, and he certainly can keep a ship on a straight line. "It must be remembered that every time a ship's rudder is turn- ed, there is a slight losg of driving power and a corresponding reduc- tion of speed. Since time means money more than ever before, the very slightest slowdown is expen~ sive. In the bld days, it took two and sometimes three men to hold the wheel of a schooner when there was a heavy sea rolling, Steering engines improved that a lot, but the gyro-pilot improved it still more, and a ship equipped with Iron Mike can steer a straight course through the hardest weather, "Ot course, it saves money and it does the work more efficiently than the human could possibly do it.

Thus it will be seen that whatever other activity - the Red Cross finds it necessary to un- dertake in its peace-time program of service, the returned soldier re- mains, as he has always been, its Jirst care, whether he be in a mili- tary hospital or in eivilian life.

McGilliv- ray Knowles, R.C.A., and his wife, to the Ontario Motor League.

The total loot, first estimated at $100,000 and later set tentatively at $350,000 is the largest ever obtained in Cincinnati. How the robbery was committed, | police either do not know or will not reveal. There was no doubt that it becn performed by a gang which knew the arrangement of the store, and apparently had no trouble in finding its way directly to the jew- IY.
