THURSDAY, APRIL 16th, 1931 4 PREMIER LANG'S APPEAL There is something in the appeal which has been made-to British financial men and interests by Premier Lang, of New South | Wales, Australia, with regard to the financial obligations of his - sorely-stricken country. 'He asks that Britain give to Australia the same consideration, with regard to her war 'debt to the Mother Country, as has been ex- | tended: to France and Italy, to Belgium, and | even to Germany. Britain, some years ago, wiped out much of the debts owing her by | these countries, amortized them- on along | term plan at low interest rates, and in every | way made it easy to pay. So it would seem {logical to ask that, since this could be done for alien nations, surely something similar { might be done for a member of the British FGommonweaith of Nations. { Australia, of course, is in bad shape fin- ! ancially, but the Commonwealth government | is determined that its credit be maintained. That was why, when the government of New South Wales recently defaulted an interest payment of $8,000,000 due in London, the commonwealth government met the obliga- tion. After all, that is the British way, the honorable wdy. No matter what concessions be bargained for by alien nations, Bri- ish nations keep their honor by paying their depts to the full, and that is why, worthy as t may seem, the appeal of Premier Lang wilh, hardly bring the result for which he pleads | | QUITE A CHANGE "When work becomes scarce in any coun- A there is the resultant desire to thin out | the working population.

Something like that is being done in "sta- tute of limitations" and other circumstances give 300,000 of these a foothold which can- 4 | mot be attacked at the moment. Steps un- | der i way now, though, lead to the deporta- % | of 100,000 men, chiefly from industrial centres, .

Those who claim that the period of a 's usefulness is very brief will find an ting exception in W. E. Miller, who at he age of 97, is an active choir singer, tenor 'Fand director of the municipal chorus of Los Angeles. i There is no reason why a man's ability 'and 'accomplishment should be limited to a rtain prescribed area of time. Some men never able to add anything to the world's * Some are productive for a little while. Some accomplish through the years. So. long as people are physically, mentally and social- able to carry on there is no reason why y should be relegated to a rocking chair an upstairs sitting room in an institution jomewhere, or in the back parlor of a private ne. ~~ There are a great many pitiful cases in world today of men who are able to earn living, but because they have lived long pugh to dispel the novelty that surrounds motions and accomplishment they are put 2 the non-active list.--Kitchener Record.

EDITORIAL NOTES Since harbor development means greater prosperity for Oshawa, this city is fortunate in having been allowed a grant of $75,000 for this year. One wonders if the harbor appropriation of Oshawa was made possible through the high personal regard of Premier Bennett for W. H. Moore, or vice versa. If the Bowmanville electors do as well with the gas franchise bylaw as the electors of Oshawa did, the result will be very satis. factory. Prairie farmers have been feeding eggs to the hogs rather than sell them at eight cents a dozen. But that does not necessarily mean that the same animal will provide bac- on and eggs. The green appearance of the lawns re- minds us that it will soon be time to get the rust off the lawn mower, The value of that $75,000 harbor appro- priation to Oshawa can be judged from the fact that it is the largest amount ever voted for the harbor in any one year. And we still have some hope that the supplementaries will produce more. Other Editors' Comment GANDHI AND THE INDIAN SETTLEMENT (Calcutta Englishman) Lord Iwrin is the first Englishman, after a period of ten years, to remove Mr. Gandhi's ineradicable suspicion. Once convinced, Mr, Gandhi, it is fair to add, was quick to respond. In the main his declara- tions since the settlement was reached have shown a return to that earlier and happier inspiration which in. the past, even in times of grave crisis, often won him a certain measure of 'support and liking from Europeans. At the moment too much, in our opinion, should not be made of statements that Mr, Gandhi and other Congress leaders will continue to press for ; let it be remembered that even Mr, Gandhi has his own Left Wing and terror- ists to contend witth. PEACE IN INDIA (Pombay Times of India) For the happy co! tion now a d the laurels must go to Lord Irwin, who has conducted the tortuous negotiations with the patience of Job and frequently at great personal inconvenience to himself. His Excellency counted nothing too much in pursuit of his single-minded purpose, which was to bring peace to a distracted country before he left its shores. For the achievement of that ambition he must be profoundly thankful. Lord Irwin may be criticized for giving away too much, but when the terms of the agreement come to be examined we are confident the concessions will not be found too great a price, BITS OF HUMOR An. old Scottish woman, who had never been known to say an ill word about anybody, was one day taken to task by her husband, "Janet," he said impatiently, * a good word for the de'll himself.'

That has now passed and Am- erica, like other - countries, has been reduced to seeking comfort in the doctrine of the inevitability of improvement. We read many articles of statis. tical nature on the ebb and the how of boom and depressions of years ago. The danger is now that it people are too well persuaded that periods of boom and slump are automatic, many may become indisposed to make the requisite effort to bring bask normal times. It therefore must be emphasized that though there might be a sense of inevitability about the rise and fall, it also would lie within hu- man province to cut short the slump periods. There is no question but that better days are certain. They are being established day by day. Some people think that it has not been so much over production as unequal production and, worse still, unequal consumption, To think and do business as usual, as many industries have back. As an example: Those large done, will bring normal times concerns who have met with the greatest success have been the concerns who have increased their newspaper advertising year by year, thereby increasing sales. This sales effort has kept them from feeling the effects of a slump. All businesses should do the same. LET'S ADVERTISE AND DO BUSINESS AS USUAL! Eye Care and Eve Strain by €. H. Tue, Opt. D.

It is pointed out, during a period of depression the tendency of the consumers to get along on what he has and it is to be expected he is running short. A number of commodities including wheat, pulpwood, silver, copoer, beer, hides, butter and eggs, pork, flaxseed, sugar, coffee, wool, rubber, cotton, tobacco, and gold are looked upon as basic and to lw taken as an index of the world situation. The first half dozen figures very largely in Cana- dian export trade. A brief resume 'of the position of these according 'to. latest figures available here, follows: Taking wheat as the most import- ant single export product of the Do- mipion, the stocks of wheat in the world have been steadily increasing since 1926127 when they were estimat ed a the beginning of the season as 257,000,000 bushels, 'The estim- ate for this year is 535,000,000 bushels o fwhich Canada on 'August 1, will hold 12,000,000 bushels, Some indica- tion of how the surplus of wheat or the inaibilty of the world to buy wheat affects the Dominion is tur- nished in the export figures for Can- ada 1929-1930 which show that while the Dominion exported $215,753,475 worth of wheat up to the end of March 1930, this sum was $212,770,851 less than the value of exports in 1929, On the other hand world supplies and stocks of cut pulpwood are stat- ed to be no more than normal. The United Stateswhich sonsumes the bulk of Canadian production, has lately clapped a virtual embargo on shipments from Russia, considered the great menace to Canadian trade in this commodity. Pulpwood exports from the Dominion for 1930 showed a falling off but not nearly 80 serious as the drop in wheat. The exports for 1930 were estimated ag being worth $13,860,209 which was $320,891 less than in 1929. The world's production of silver for the past three years has averaged around 250,000,000 ounces during which time the price has fallen from about 60 to 25 cents. Those inter: ested insilver in the United States clam tlus reduction in price, which aas greatly restricted the purchasing power of Chu, countries in: South America, and other nations on a sil- ver standard, is owing to the threat of dumping by the British govern- ment for India since the rupee was pegged to gold in 1920, However, some cconomsts dispute this] Ex- ports of silver from the Dominion dropped $393a073 in 1930 to a total value ui $11,569,855. As to copper the figure for 1930 shows a ralling off in world produe- tion amounting to J50,000 short tons tion for the United States shows a as compared with 192, Consump- ueciueu drop. 'Lhe visible s of non-ferrous -nuneral raw material is at 'present in excess of current re- quirements, Nickel, however, is stronger, Canadian exports of copper were up last year in value by almost $11,000,000 reaching a total of $37, 735,413. Nickel exports which totall- ed $25,034,975 were up $1,154,483 al- though the quantity of exports de- creased by 18,000 hundred weight. Statistcis for the cattlemen of Can- ada are not particularly encouraging, It is noted that in six of the eight major producing countries cattle numbers are on tire increase, the sak of production being expected early in 1931, ine number of cattle exported from Canada last year was about $3,000,000 which represented a decrease as compared with the pre- vious year of 1,500 and a loss in re- venue 'of $1,500,000. Reduced con- sumption in the United States and Europe attributable to economic conditions is given asa reason for the present low price of beef cattle, World production of cattle hides as reflected in figures for the United States, Argentina and Uruguay, which furnished one-fifth - of the world supply, dropped almost 30 per cent, since 1925, while the United States consumption of hides has ris- en from 21 per cent of the world production to 23.6 per cent. in 1930. Nevertheless, wl Canada ex d 66,984 more hides in 1930 than in 1929 exporters took a loss of $1,748. || 777 as comnared to the amount they received for fewer hides in 1929.

DON'T USE ARSENICALS In connection with the control of the Cherry Fruit Worm, the Entomological Branch of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture warns against the use of arsenical sprays because of the certainty that a residue will be left on fruit at picking time. The use of "Summer ofl emulsion or nicotine sulphate and soap sprays have been found to he very effective as cone trol measures, 'Complete formu- lae for the preparation and use of these sprays will be found in Cir. cular 79, which has just been is- sued, and which is available with- out charge on applicattion to the Publications Branch of the Depart- ment at Ottawa. RASPBERRY NOTES The Raspberry and Its Control In Canada, Bulletin No. 114, De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, summarizes general control mea- sures for raspberries as follows: (1) Use nothing but clean, heal- thy, cetified stock. This is the first essential in successful grow- Ing of raspberries. Government certified stock is now available. Demand such stock from your nur- seryman. For further information concerning certified stock, inquire 1926 CHEVROLET COACH, Perfect condition $148.00 Ross, Ames & Gartshore 183 King St. W. Phone 1160 of the Dominion Laboratory of Plant and Pathology, 8t. the arines, Ontario. (2) Practise clean cultivation, (3) Practise rotation of crops. After destroying an old raspberry plantation, do not replant it to berries for at least three or four years. Grow some such crops as corn, grasses, cereals, legumes, eto, (4) Destroy wild raspberriea ap blackberries in the vicinity ot the cultivated varieties. (5) Removing fruit canes as soon after harvest as possible. At the same time dig and destroy all badly diseased plants. (6) Systematically remove from the plantation and burn all rogued plants, or prunings.
