SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1931 WHAT COMMUNISM MEANS Letter-writers are taking the Rev. S. C. ~ Jarrett severely to task for his remarks "against Communism and the Communists, and his assertion that all Communists ought to be deported. Those who protest against his statements, apparently, have overlooked what is the true meaning of the Communis- tic activities in this country, what are its aimg and purposes, and have not taken into _ consideration what it would mean if the Communists had their own way in this coun- try. They have failed to realize that there is a vast difference between unemployed men putting up a fight for the right to work, which is a legitimate aspiration for any body of workless citizens, and a body of men with an entirely different purpose in view, that of tearing down the constitution and laws of the country. That is the only point of differ- ence, we hope, that they have with Mr. Jar- rett. It is true that times of stress and unem- ployment force men to adopt unusual prac- tices in an effort to secure work. There was n instance of this in Oshawa last fall, when undreds of unemployed citizens of Oshawa met in Memorial Park daily, and discussed the problem of how work could be created for them. They formulated a policy of sug- gestions to. the city council of work which might be undertaken to relieve unemploy- ment, and many of the suggestions made have already been carried out, with the re- sult that some hundreds gf men have been provided with at least some work. That was _ an instance of unemployed men fighting for "the right to work, and we do not believe that 4 Mr. Jarrett would have any fault to find with that type of activity. And these men were not Communists, nor were they animat- ed by Communistic ideas. But the Communist. is somethiing of a different stripe. His methods are destruc- tive, not conservative. He is out to destroy orderly government, to overturn British in- Es stitutions, to effect a revolution which would "hi « families. rock civilization from one end to the other irrespective of who might suffer in the pro- cess. That is the type of man who has no place in Canadian life. That is the type of man who deserves deportation. For the unemployed worker, seeking the right to earn a living, faced with desperate needs in the time of depression, we have, and we believe Mr. Jarrett has, the deepest sympathy. And it is known to many that Mr. Jarrett has done much, in his own way, to alleviate the conditions of many suffering But for the destroyer, the true Communist who wishes to turn the suffer- ings of unemployed people into channels of lawlessness for his own ends, we have noth- ing good to say. He prates of the glories of the Soviet Union, so let him be sent there "where he can practice his infamous policies to his heart's content. So there is a distinction between the un- employed worker who is following constitu- . tional and lawful methods in trying to im- prove his position and the man who is willing to wreck his country for his own purposes. Those who are in the former class will have no fault to find with Mr. Jarrett's words; ~ those in the latter class--if the cap fits, let them wear it. WELCOME TO A NEW INDUSTRY "Great oaks from little acorns grow" runs the old proverb, and on that theory we wel- come to Oshawa the firm of Norman Barnes, Limited, which has established a knitting plant in the city. It is true that this is not "a large establishment, that its owner is con- tent to begin on a small scale, with about fifteen employees, and endeavor to build up 'a growing industry in this community. Industries of this kind are a valuable it to a city which is seeking for diversi- fication in its manufactures, Innumerable in- stances could be cited of various branches of the textile industry which have been started a small way, and which have grown to the tus of large corporations. It is our hope 'in welcoming the Barnes company to Osh- wa that this may be its good fortune, that t will find business success in this commun- . , and may be able to provide employment an ever-increasing number of workers. wa needs many more industries such as , for the more of them that there are in e city, the greater is the certainty of that future development and growth for which all al citizens of Oshawa are earnestly hop- ROTARY AND NATURALIZATION The Rotary Clubs of Canada are to be congratulated on the movement they are sponsoring in the interests of Canadian cit- izenship. Tomorrow evening at six o'clock, a special program will be broadcast under their ausipces, dealing with this subject, with an address by Dr. Leslie Pidgeon as the chief feature. The object behind this pro- gram is to give the people of Canada some conception of what the naturalization of de- sirable alien citizens would mean to the coun- try, and, on the other hand, what it means to Canada to have undesirable citizens flock- ing to become naturalized so that they can carry on their Communistic activities with- out the fear of deportation. This is an im- portant problem, one which has much to do with the building up of a sounder and more wholesome Canadian national life, and in selecting it as a task worthy of their efforts, the Rotarians of Canada have made a wise choice. EDITORIAL NOTES The next slogan will be, "Buy Made-in- Oshawa Socks." When a doctor recommends a little change for a patient, the patient usually needs a roll of bills to take the advice. On some of the streets of Oshawa yester- day, it would have been in order to equip automobiles with pontoons. Oshawans gave with a glad heart in the welfare campaign, and backed up their giv- ings by making good their pledges. 0, doctor, if you only knew, I haven't really got the flu' The city's free of this disease, So what's the matter with me, please. It is gratifying to note that the welfare worker reports a decrease in calls for assist- ance. That is a sure sign of improving con- ditions in the city. Another shock for he who knocks-- In Oshawa they're making socks. The slogan for those who are interested in organizing a horticultural society should be, "My dollar to make my city more beauti- ful," . The legislature this session will not be equipped with loud speakers. Judging from the recent by-elections, they will not be re- quired. Other Editors' Comment THE GREATEST PROBLEM (Chatham News) If the recent business depression, from which this country, like others, seems to be emerging, has taught us anythiing, it should have convinced us that the thing to do is not to prepare for depressions, but rather to create such conditionis that depressions wiil be impossible, or at any rate extremely unlikely. This thought is attracting considerable discussion in many quarters, A short tune ago Judge Harkness, of Tor- onto, secretary of the Social Service Council of On- tario addressed a local service club and impressed the thought that the great work of the future in his de- partment of activity will not consist of handing out relief to people who need it but rather, entering the preventive field, and bringing about such conditions in the homes, through education and compulsion, if nec- essary, that the great mass of people will not be in need of the sort of relief and cures that the Social Service of this province has in past years been deal- ing in. The same principle works in the matter of business and employment. BiTs OF VERSE REMEMBERING When all lights dim I shall discover The dreams I had and stored away, And I shall count them over, over-- Their brightness for my dying day. Pictures and patterns and swaying light; Wonder, with dawn-lit eyes and grace; Perfection, always just out of sight, And the haunting lure of a face. I who was mistress of any mood, I who had youth a short, sweet while, I in the darkness of solitude. Have caught Beauty's fugitive smile. From my host of lovely memories I'll bring Caprice and all her whims Proud in her glitter. I shall have these When the pale light wavers and dims. When fre Fears stalk me with baleful eyes And I know I shall soon be dead, Then I'll remember the blue of skies And the lilacs above my head. Dunnville, ~Helen Fitzgerald Dougher.

(Copyright, 1928) Stereoscopic Vision -- Part Four These suspensions of suppression indicate that vision is not a contin- uous act is subject to certain inter- ruptions which starting in terms of only fraction of seconds lead to terms of longer duration until we have com- plete loss of vision. This freq y of p n in many cases should receive strict at- tention as it appears to have a ten- dency to increase up to a, point of complete suspension. This may take place by such slow degrees that it ig unnoticed until the eye is gone and unless recognized early and given at- tention vision will be lost. Through this study of the mystery of vision many pathways are discovered by means of which failing vision may be guided back to usefulness. 1 have already mentioned that cer- tain eyes could see nothing and yet the image could be formed on the retina. This is true of different con- ditions and as a means of reducing the number of these a study of the suppression of images and the reason would be a big step in the proper direction, Many a sufferer seeking relief will try to find some one cured, who was afflicted in the same manner as he himsclt--location of trouble and all. This is only human nature and we may say, good business, Be assured your trouble may not be anything new in any way and under a consul- tation may be the means of quoting many parallels to your own case. OF THE WEST POINT (MISS.

Lahor and white paper costs are substantially the same, regardless of the volume of advertising carried. "Be it said to the everlasting cred- it of the newspapers, however, they have maintained a buoyant spirit of optimism, minimized evi- dences of fear and trepidation, and encouraged and fostered every effort to stem this unfortunate tide of pessimism and fear. "IT HAS BEEN A TESTING TIME FOR .THE NEWSPAPERS OF AMERICA, AND THE BETTER PAPERS WILL EMERGE FROM THIS CRISIS STRONGER THAN BEFORE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE JUSTIFTED THEIR EXISTENCE AND DEMONSTRATED THEIR USEFULNESS." ENGLAND RECRUITS London.--Since the special "County" recruiting campaign be- gan with the new year, the War Of- fice have been successful in obtain- ing about 7,000 recruits, or from 2,000 to 2,600 more than would normally have enlisted during the month. The normal outflow bal- ances the normal inflow of recruits, so that there will not be a very great reduction in the 9,100 rank and file shortage, and since there are at present over 2 1-2 millions of unemployed against 1 1-2 mil- lions a year ago, there is little cause for satisfaction in an increase of between 6500 and 600 recruits a week during this year's campaign. It the special recruiting efforts cease at the end of this month, the actual leeway in reducing Army . | shortage will be at the most only 2,000.

OF NEW CAPITAL IN 1080 Canadian borrowings at home and abroad during 1930 were about one-third less than in 192y, according to an estimate made by The Financial Post Year = Book, 1931. The 1930 figure is placed at $663,864,000 as compared with $1,014,976,000 in 1929. It is in- teresting that Canada absorbed 60.2 per cent of total borrowings herself, a figure which shows vir- tually no change from the 60.6 per cent in 1929. Great Rritain's share in Canada's borrowing fell heavily, however, to $4,490,000 or .7 per cent of the to- tal, as against 8.5 per cent in 1929. The United States increased her share from 30.6 per cent in 1929 to 39 per cent. Governments, municipalities, and public utilities during 1930 took advantage of the easy money mar- kets, and these classes of {issues showed substantial increase over 1929. Other groups, 'notably rail- ways, pulp and paper, "other indus- tries," trading establishments, and financial institutions borrowed very much less. In 1929 a large part of the new financing was done through stock issues and stock "rights"--over $210,000,000 in "rights" alone. In 1930 sales of bonds (excluding re- funding) totalled $650,000, while stock issues were only 33,000,000 and "rights" to shareholders, cus- tomers, and employees, $81,000,- 000. MANY CHANGES CERTAIN ERE PAPER STOCK RETURN At one time the most popular group of trading stocks on the Ca- nadian stock exchanges, pulp and paper securities have come to be like a dog with a bad name--want- ed by nobody, remarks The Finan- cial Post. Values of the individual issues have dropped to a few dollars a share; preferred stocks are selling at a fraction of their original offer- ing price while bonds are selling at a heavy discount. % Yet several hundred millions of dollars are invested in the pulp and paper industry and as a group their importance {3 not to be minimized by the present low prices. Inhere tly the industry is sound. Thongzh it may he a long drawn ut procecs, it will eventually get 'oek on its feet and fits securities In rate as a first rate invest- nevi To buy newsprint, or other pulp nd paper, securities at the present time involves an element of risk and considerable patience. * Even vhen the tnrn in the tide takes it, is going to be a long time before the companies resume divi- nents on their junior se 8. Those producers that cessfully come through the pres ent period, however, will eventual- ly reward their shareholders for the long wait. CREEPING PROSPERITY In January, 1921, practically all the great leaders of business in the United States announced that the turn for the better had come in business. Yet within seven months the number of unemployed increas- ed by 2,300,000 persons, payrolls were cut in 13 out of 14 industries and steel plants dropped to a 25 per cent schedule. But (hfs frailty of human obser- vation of economic trends works both ways. We are just as slow to recognize the turn for the better when it comes, The Financial Post indicates. . In a Saturday Evening Post arti- cle in October, 1921, Floyd W. Par- sons pointed out that rumor fac- tories were turning out an increas- ing line of dire predictions. Peo- ple who had followed the optimists at the wrong time were now concur- ring with the pessimists. Buginess men feared an increasing flood of imports from Germany. Trotsky had just said that England was dis- integrating, He said that the Uni- ted States and England would be at war by 1924. There is a familiar ring to thu and to the other opinions quoted in Mr. Parsons' article. It is just the sort of situation we are now in. That was published In October, come in business. The year 192% was a year of revival leading to 1921. By January the turn hag substantial prosperity. Depression hits full blast when most of us least expect it. Pros: perity is something that comes to its obscurely----without definite evi dence of its arrival bet it develops slowly... Surface indications are unreliable. Condtions always ap- pear to be bad when actually a very decided turn for the better has come. That was the experience at the end of 1921. It may indeed prove to be the experience of 1931. THROUGH THE FOG Trends in business just now are conflicting, says The Financial Post Commodity prices continue to de- cline but meet resistance at impor- tant points, The stock market has been unable to break away from a narrow range, either In an upward or a downward movement. In the West, moisture conditions are not of the best, which does not promise well for the 1931 crop but does promise better prices for the wheat we have carried over. The trend of business volume has continued to move downward in Canada but with lessening momentum. Em- ployment is down but when adjust- ed for seasonal variations seems to be up Money rates are low and bond prices are on a firm basis but political considerations across the line are adversely affecting prices of all bonds. Everywhere that one looks for signals, one finds indica- tors capable of varying interpreta. tion. One can find anything one looks for except a definite "go" or "stop" signal. The situation is a familiar one in the dying days of a period of busi- ness depression. Doctors note sim- {lar symptoms as the turning point appproaches in convalescence from fliness. Out of the present uncer- tainty will emerge sharper notes, clearer signals, less befogged guide- posts to business policy.

Birmingham, Eng.--The first 'Empire Shop" organized in Eng- land by the Empire Marketing Board is that of Birmingham, open- ed on January 26 by William Lunn, M.P., Undor-Secretary for Dominion Affairs, but it is not the first in Great Britain. A similar shop was opernied by the Board in Glasgow last year. For six months all kinds of Em- pire produce will be displayed in the shop and small samples sold to the public, Each Empire country will occupy the shop for a period of aboul two weeks, England and Wales being the first occupants with a display of 456 different arti- cles. The exhibit was organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and in- cludes "national mark" eggs, flour, canned fruit and vegetables, beef and malt extract. The shop in Glasgow proved a marked success and there are Ine dications that this shop in Birming. ham will be successful too. In Glasgow the retail dealers co-oper- ated in the campaign and the dy ers of Birmingham are just as whole-heartedly supporting the Empire shop here. A committee room is provided for the use of tra- ders on the shop premises, and there is an information bureau where visitors are given details of any' product in which they are in- terested. In addition to the sale of samples there is a demonstration kitchen where expert cooks show how new and econoniical dishes may be prepared from all-Empire ingredients. The second period of the Empire Shop here opened on February 9, when New Zealand took it over. In the subsequent periods the shop will be in charge of South Africa, Australia, India, Canada, Southern Rhodesia, and the Irish Free State, and besides these products of sev- eral colonies wil be displayed. The shop will remain open until June THURSDAY ISTiND CLAMS SHALLEST By Staff of One Thursday Island, South Pacific Ocean, Feb. 13.--This tiny island, with its 2,000 inhabitants lying to the north of Australia and forming a part of that commonwealth, claims. to have the smallest daily newspaper in the world.

EAST AFRICA FACES NATIVE PROBLEM Fair and Sympathetic Hand- ling Needed, Says Former Governor London.--The problems of gov- ernment of East Africa were com- pared with those of India by Sir Edward Grigg, former Governor of Kenya Colony, at a recent dinner of the Royal Empire Society in Lon- don. "We are confronted in East Africa, as in India, with the ques- tion of whether to spread direct British administration or build up native states," he said. Sir Edward declared that econo- mic stability in East Africa depend-|y ed on the economic development of European and African prpoduction on complementary lines. Any at- tempt to foist an alien policy upon Africa was bound to be disastrous. Touching the matter of the re- cent handling of Indian affairs by the British Government Sir Edward® Grigg sald this showed Great Brit- ain's determination to be fair and sympathetic to all classes. The need for this in East Africa was not less great than the need for it in India, he added.
