Tresidder, representative, / REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone Inc.. New York and Chicage FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 1930 MILLIONS FOR ONTARIO The agreement which has been made by the province of Ontario for a share of the money set aside by the federal government for employment relief should go a long way towards improving unemployment conditions in this province. Many millions of dollars . are to be spent in Ontario this winter for this purpose. The federal government has allotted to Ontario a sum of $3,850,000 for relief works. In addition, the province will also be able to draw on the $4,000,000 fund which has been established for direct relief. A share of the $1,000,000 which is being made available for the elimination of grade crossings will also come to this province, adding to the volume of employment which will be provided. The provision of these millions for Ontario will make possible a large amount of em- ployment. If the grant of $3,850,000 is all used up, it will mean providing work to the amount of over $15,000,000, because that is being provided on the basis that the provin- vial government provides a similar amount, and the municipalities contribute as much as the two governments put together. Ontario's share of relief money will be trebled before it reaches those in distress because it repre- sents only one third of the amount to be spent. And the contributions to the railway grade crossing fund will represent only 40 per. cent. of the cost of the work done, be- cause that is the share nominally borne by that fund. X Even that does not exhdust the amount of money to be spent for unemployment relief work in Ontario. The railway companies are putting into effect a great campaign of expansion work, and even if only a small portion of the work is done on Ontario lines. the materials and supplies will be drawn very largely from Ontario industries. The railways are spending $21,000,000 on this work, and that in itself will provide much employment, Thus the effect of the special session of the federal parliament is like a snowball «rolling downhill. If is growing in size as it moves along. The $20,000,000 originally set aside has now reached a total of between $80,000,000 and $90,000,000, and the end is not yet. Premier Bennett and his colleagues . have done well, 'have builded better than they knew, and it lies in the power of other interests in Canada to augment the money now available for providing employment un- til there is such a volume of business created "that there will be no more talk of depression. The great necessity is that all public bodies, from the federal government down, and all private firms and individuals, co-operate to the fullest possible extent in creating em-|' ployment by whatever means can be devis- ed, so that Canada can lift herself by her own boot-straps, force prosperity by sheer energy and hard work, and consign the pes- simists to oblivion by making the whole Do- _ minion once again a hive of busy 'industry. MILITARY TITLES a Somewhat of a controversy has been ar- mused by the discussion at the recent Upited Church Council meeting asking that m with war service drop the use of A military titles. While the discussion did not lead the council anywhere, other than to suggest that these military titles be dropped, it is an interesting point. There great many people running around with titles tagged to their names that would a i be just as well left off. Perhaps the use of | these titles is a hangover from the war, when they were a real mark of distinctive _ service, but nowadays there is something rather obnoxious in finding men. who have been on the retired list for many years, and parad- men who have only honorary rank, they have If military hy | at some time or another| Colonels or Majors, titles are to be persisted in, all the sergeants and corpor- tion from Great Britain that use, in these days of peace, of titles which have ceased to mean anything twelve or thirteen years ago is a farce. But yet, some of the former brass hats like them, and it might be an irreparable shock to their dig- nity if their names appeared in print some day without the beloved prefix. A WHEAT QUOTA There is hope for Canada in the sugges- imports of wheat be placed on a quota basis in order to help in the development of Empire Trade. The leaders of the Conservative party have committed themselves to a policy Whereby 66 per cent of the British market for wheat would be allotted to the overseas Dominions, 25 per cent toldomestic growers, and nine per cent to foreign countries outside the 'Empire. This is an interesting suggestion, and would be of inestimable benefit to Canada if the British people could be persuaded to allow it to go into effect. It is significant, however, that the suggestion comes from the Conservative party, which is not in power at the present time, and it is very doubtful if the Labor government would even consider it. Yet it shows that the Bri- tish people, or some of them, at least, are thinking very seriously on the subject of encouraging Empire trade, and more good may come from the Imperial Economic Conference than most people expect at the present time. DOUBT CLEARED UP An article appearing in the Mail and Em- pire a few days ago created some doubt in the minds of a number of people as to the purpose of the millions of dollars being pro- vided by the federal government for unem- ployment relief work, The Mail and Em- pire article left the impression that the fed- eral funds were to be available only to pay a part of the excess cost of work undertaken as a measure of relief, which was entirely different from the understanding that the federal funds were to provide 25 per cent. of the entire cost of such works, with the pro- vincial government providing 25 per cent. and the municipalities 50 per cent. Several people in prominent positions were much perturbed by the article in the Toronto paper, so The Times at once set an inquiry on foot to find out the true situation. All doubt can now be removed, The federal funds, as provided in the regulations, are to be applied, not to paying 25 per cent. of the excess cost, but 25 per cent. of the whole cost of work undertaken as a measure of unemployment relief. This leaves the way open for municipalities to undertake works of this character on a much larger scale than would have been possible had the Mail and Empire article been correct, and the Osh- awa Council can now go ahead and plan its work on a much more generous basis than has already been done. CANADIAN COAL FOR CANADA Application of the anti-dumping regula- tion to American coal is already bearing frujt in the form of larger orders from Mani- toba for Alberta coal. It is just announced, for example, that the City Council of Win- nipeg has placed an order for 30,000 tons of Alberta steam coal for hydro uses. . . « « « The action of the new government is the lo- gical method of dealing with the matter, It follows a similar decision to protect the fruit and vegetable industries of this country, and so long as producers do not take advantage of the consumers there will be general ap- proval of the step to stimulate the import. ant coal mining industry.--Calgary Herald. A MARVEL EMPIRE Whatever its specific fruits, an imperial conference of the British Commonwealth of Nations is an imposing and impressive spec- tacle. Gathered at it are the Irish Free State, youngest of the Dominions, almost within a stone's throw of Great Britain; Canada, 3,000 miles away, covering half of the North American continent; South Af- rica, which keeps the Union Jack flying on the southern tip of another continent, al- though 80 years ago much of its population was in arms against that very flag; Austra- lia and New Zealand, which are battling to keep white their corner of the empire down in the antipodes! They meet and discuss, without rancor or friction, as free and equal members of a single commonwealth under one crown. The world may indeed marvel at this new type of empire, which holds nations together by sentiment and self-interest,-- Detroit Free Press. EDITORIAL NOTES Our sympathies are with Ald.

And a great many do not seem to care. : 4 Liberal newspapers these days must have a terribly distorted vision if they fail to give the federal government of Mr. Bennett full credit for all it has accomplished since it took office. : { FROM THE MANITOBA The Prime Minister's Achievement PREE PRESS (Liberal) However far the discussion may range on the intrinsic merits of Mr. Bennett's tariff policy, there can only be general agreement on the vigor he has displayed since be took office, and on the speed and thoroughness with which he made his ideas effec- tive in Cai 's fiscal system. In six weeks Mr, Bennett has selected his Ministers, 'formed his Government, revolutionized the tariff schedules, made a drastic upward revision of I the dumping statute, created a twen- ty million dollar fund and scheme in aid of unemployment, and in two weeks' time pushed through the House, with the forced approval sof the Opposition groups, a mass of the most drastic and contentious legisla- tion ever brought down in a Cana- dian Parliament. There is something heroic in these accomplishments, and Mr, Bennett deserves all the credit which his political feats entitle him to receive, If his promise to give the country parliamentary action 'was perfectly sincere, his declarations of policy, it can also now be seen, were inspired by a sincerity equally deep. When Mr. Bennett was trumpeting his Sariff doctrines on the campaign platforms it was natural to allow for a certain amount of exaggeration in the state- ments, and to assume that when they came to be reduced to practice an in- evitable modification would take place. This was an entirely wrong assumption, * LJ , The changes which have been made in the tariff schedules can only be explained by the complete conviction of the man behind them in the doc- trine of high protection, and the man behind them is Mr, Bennett. He af- firmed in explicit language that he would raise the tariff high enough to shut out every commodity that could possibly be produced or made in Can- ada he advanced a fiscal doctrine that seemed incredible to half the = Canadian electorate, and he pledged himself to introduce it if he were elected. Any notion that these were the extravagances of election plat- forms has now been dispélled. Mr. Bennett has shaken up the tariff structure with a ruthlessness born of complete trust in his own beliefs, He really does think we can wall out foreign imports without injuring™thé export of Canadian commodities; he does think he can increase the tariff two and three hundred per cent. on innumerable articles in common daily use without raising their price to the consumer. He really does believe that when a Canadian manufacturer tells him that no advantage will be taken of increased tariffs to push up prices in the home market, that this condition will be actually observed, Mr. Bennett believes all these ex- traordinary things so profoundly that he has stamped his policies on his first Parliament with the determin- ation of a dictator, He has started with a candor that can evoke only admiration that pn these principles he has staked his political life, and that he will make them succeed in practice for the advantage of Canada or perish in the attempt. . . . , Knowing it, he has proceeded with courage to put his policies into im- mediate and sweeping operation, They may break the country, but Mr. Bennett is convinced they will, instead, make it; and the fore? with which he has played his hand sug- gests that one of those results is al- most inevitable. No ope should be better aware of the risks and perils of the course on which he has now begun than Mr. Bennett himself, There is an intrepidity about his un- qualified inauguration of his projects which commands respect entirely apart from other considerations. Whatever the future brings him it can never be said that he displayed either weakness or doubt when he became Prime Ministér, By James W. Barton, M.D. 00D LIVER OIL Before we had ever heard of vi- tamins, in fact many years before, parents found that cod lver oll seemed to build up their young- sters, It was naturally thought that it was the oil or fat that was respon- sible for this building process, and various other oils were used but without the desired effect. It is really the vitamins that do the building To determine to what extent the ue to early tuberculosis cases Drs, ue to early tubeculosis cases Drs, A.D. Holmes, Stoneham, Mass., and H. L.

These cases were (a) those who had been in contact with tubercu- losis cases, (b) those that had tu- berculosis, and were apparently cured (¢c) more or less active tuber- culosis cases, and (d) those present. ing a dally rise in temperature, A teaspoonful of cod liver oil (very rich in vitamins) was admin- istered twice daily each school day, for six weeks, . All the subjects gained in weight during the tests, The abnormal temperature of twenty-five subjects decreased during the experimental period. By the end of the test, the temperature of twenty subjects had returned to normal, The number of days that the group of children were abgfnt from school during the year that they received the cod liver oil was mark- edly below the number of absences for the same group for the previous year, in spite of an influenza epi- demic in the "schools during the year in which the test was made, Now these figures speak for theniselves. As you know it is now possible to get cod liver oil in such concen- "| trated form that a few drops are equal to the teaspoonful of the or- dinary cod liver ofl. Also for those away from home, travelers and others, cod liver oil may be obtained in tablet form. And for those who find it difi- cult to take the ordinary cod liver oil, it may be obtained in the form of an emulsion which is not difi- cult to take, Of course it would be necessary to take larger doses of the emulsion in order to get sufi cient of the ofl and vitamins to get real results. < So remember that cod liver oil 1s a food, a builder, that it not only adds to the weight and strength of the body, but.that because of its vi- tamins, it helps the other foods eaten to be more completely used by the body. Its proven worth in preventing rickets in children is another source of satisfaction to parents and phy- sicians, Copyright Act.)
