TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24th, 1981 7. An in Canada Memebers of the Oshawa Rotary Club were greatly enlightened on the progress of art in Canada by the address given them on Monday by E. Wyly Grier, president of the Boyal Canadian Academy of Art, This is not a subject on which Rotary Club ad- dresses are often based, but Mr. Grier = dressed it up so well that the business men = present thoroughly enjoyed it, and found © that it was not such a nigh-brow subject © after all, ¢ The main thought which ran through ~ this address was that there were men and © women in Canada who were concerned © about building up a distinctive Canadian " art, an art which would express the virility, the grandeur and the wide scope of this new nation. In other words, this group of men and women is anxious that Canadians should learn to express themselves, through their art, in their own distinctive way, rgther than that they should slavishly con- form to the art forms of other countries. In the development of any new country, the building up of culture is very often i LS Sl BS So Sa SS Tk as neglected until a definite material progress "bas been made. In some respects, that is true of Canada, which has very largely con- tented itself with borrowing its culture, its schools, from the Mother Country, This country, however, has now reached a dif- ferent stage, a stage at which its own dis- tinetive art and literature are taking form Through the efforts of such men as Mr. Grier, this are development should continue to make progress. All that it needs is the encouragement of the Canadian people, who re all too prone to look across the seas for a things. Given that encouragement, ere is no reason why Canada should not in due time, develop a type of art which will be national in its scope, and will pre- nt to the form, in picture, song and story, he true characteristics of the people of the Canadian people. Canada's Opportunity .Canada is provided with a splendid op- I "portunity for trade development by the pre- ces granted the British Dominions in pew anti-dumping law passed by Great tain. On Wednesday of this week, a fifty pér cent duty against a long list of articles comes into effect, but that duty applies only pods producéd outside the Empire. The roducts of British Pominions are entirely ted, and thus gain a great advantage products entering the British 1 'It is interesting to note that there are on the list which Canada ex- POLS, ¢ any others which are supplied » Great Britain from Unite tes fae- es.

Philgsophy and What Not (Toronto Globe) : y Mr. Ww. = ers of this paper realize that it does not advocate Government ownership of "what not," but believes in dealing with a situa- tion as the public interests require, While supporting public ownership and strict business management of the Canadian National Railways, it is equally firm in insisting that the Government shall not attempt ownership of the Canadian Pacific. As a former official of a private railway system which became part of the Canadian National, Mr, Moore should understand better than most philosophers why the dis- tinetion is made, It should be clear at any rate that if "we are drifting into mass action, into socialism," it has been due so far to failure of "individualism' in specific cases, rather than to any germ which has affected mass thought in Canada, Surely, at least, when Mr, Moore sat at the feet of Philosopher Socrates he learned that, although a railway may become "what not" and have to be rescued by mass action, it does not follow that "what not" regardless of circumstances, may expect the same treatment. He is wrong in pin- ning this sort of philosophy to The Globe, Editorial Notes Thanks to the council's action in increas- ing the number of polling sub-divisions to 46, the municipal elections will give work to a far larger number of men than any previous election has done. Britain's doors are open to Canadian goods, and barred to the products of foreign countries. We wonder how far the govern- ment of Canada is willing to reciprocate. In giving thanks to those who helped to put the Welfare Fund Campaign over the top, we must not overlook the mayor and "Mike," Their little stunt certainly created a tremendous amount of interest in the campaign, After hearing the Oshawa massed choir' in rehearsal, we are more than ever con- vinced that this organization should be held together as a permanent Oshawa in- stitution. This Manchurian business is a peculiar affair. The more the League of Nations tries to negotidte a settlement, the more serious becomes the war news from the battlefront. f ' Other Editor's Comments TRADE WITHIN THE EMPIRE (Cape Argus) Dr, Somary, a distinguished Swiss banker and economist, in his- recent book on "Changes in the Structure of World Economics Since the War," ex- resses the opinion that the time is ripe for a British Empire economic union, It would be almost incom: prehensible, he adds, if the opportunity were not fully realized. On the main issue, most South Afri. can exporters would welcome reciprocal trade ar- rangements enabling the Dominions to strengthen their hold on the United Kingdom market, Thu is presumably what is sometimes loosely called Em- pire economic union, There are difficulties on both sides, but they mgy not be insuperable, . At all events, whatever South Africa may think or do, the other Dominions will assuredly welcome any new movement in the direction of Imperial trade co- operation and may be prepared to offer the United Kingdom something tangible in exchange. THE SLAUGHTER OF THE ROADS (Providence, R.I, Journal) * Sinee the war five times as many persons have been killed by automobiles in the United States as were slain under the Stars and Stripes during the hostilities, The viciousness of it has failed to int press the people of the country. In spite of better automobiles, better roads, stricter systems for the licensing of drivers, many safety conferences and innumerable satety campaigns, the slaughter has con- tinted at a swifter and swilter pace, Here and there a slight improvement has been noted, but in general there has been noile.

Shien Kent, | | Rescuing the Railways Editorial From The Montreal Star In spite of the regrettable illness of the Prime Minister--pow happily past and only requiring a holiday to dissipate even its effects--the first step has been taken 10 establish the Government Commission - which is to investigate the complicated and sorely burdened transportation prob lem in Canada, Lord Ashfield--a British expert who has had a great deal of experience both in the Unit- ed States and in Great Britain--has accepted the difficult post of chair- man, The rest of the personnel will be made known almost immediately. This is the major job today con- fronting the Government, Our rail- way problem is the heaviest, the most puzzling and the most menac- ing that challenges our Dominion, If our railways were on a business basis--that is, if we had no more railways than the legitimate needs of the country call for--we should not be bothered very much about our war debts, our financial posi- tion or any kindred matter. But the fact is that Canada is heavily, shamefully over-railroaded; and this super-abundance of railway fa- cilities has been obtained, as a rule, in 'the most extravagant and waste- ful manner But it is idle today to mourn spilt milk--cyven if some of the promot- ers did get away with a lot of cream. What we' have to do is to face ex- isting conditions and find a way out of our trouble. One way has apparently been found for us, whe- ther we like it or not, Capital ex- penditures have been prohibited on the Canadian National, often with- out- rhyme or reason--just a blank- et order that no more capital costs shall be piled up by this white ele- phant, The result is that Montreal 15 left with a ghastly quarry cut in the very centre of the city, an advertisement to all the world that Canada has suffered a major set back fn one of its greater enter- pri It is to be hoped fidently expect prission which and surely con- d--that the Com- will examine the situation on the ground and base its conclusions on facts, will not be guilty of anything so wholesale and ill-calculated to really improve the situation, What is wanted is to cut our railway coats to suit our cloth to give us as much railway ser- vice as we can afford to pay for and no more, Any community would like more of most things than it can af- ford, especially in these times of tringency. Ruillways are no excep- tion to this rule, But neither are railways an exception to the rule that when a man or a community buys more than he or it can pay for, bankruptcy is the natural se- quence, This will he the task and the re- sponsibility of the Commission, It will look the trapsportation facili- ties of the country over; it will sce what we €an do without; it will na- turally take into account the fact that we already have made certain capital osiit) Bi and might as well reap the benefit of the invest- sibilities of the roads as they stand and as they might be curtailed ; and it will recommend what we can do to bring carnings and expenditures to a level and turn our railways from liabilities into assets, It ought not to play favorites. The Commission should be so con- stituted that it will be under no temptation to do so. On the other hand, it will be heavily handicapped if it must constantly take excessive care to see that a sacrifice demand- ed. of one road be immediately equalled by an identical sacrifice on the part of the other. Tt may not be possible to balance the needed sacrifices so neatly. There should not be too much sensitiveness or suspicion on this point, While we are playing fair between the rail- ways, we ought also to play fair with the Commiission and the country, Undoubtedly there are many op- portunities for ecopomy, The two railway managements have them- selves found a number already. While there is not the smallest no- tion of amalgamation--a most tin- desirable policy--there would seem to be many chances for a joining up of services through a period of emergency, When the American Government took over the manage- ment of their railways during the war, they cancelled a lot of trains on parallel lines and then made tickets available on either line, They amalgamated a Jot of ticket offices, The public was served just ag well if not better--but the cost of the was greatly reduced, The Government should take an thority to compel obedience to the uggestions of the. Commission, It is vital to the country that our rail- way burdens be greatly lighted, We cannot afford to allow sus- ceptibilities or private interests or public "fads" to stand in the way. It is literally a matter of national life and death. Public opinion will be solidly behind any just policy which promises to preserve as much as is possible of our splendid--our too splendid--railway equipment, and at the same time ensure us cs- cape. from the financial bog into which our insane railway adven- tures of the past have plunged us, $CTVICE Eye Care and Eye Strain by C.

M, BARTLETT, MANAGING EDITOR OF THE MIAMI (OK- 1 YHoMA) NEWS-RECORD, "What ot the future? What does the future hold in store for the sinaller urban and rural commun- ities of America? America is un- questionably on the eve of many changes in her economic structure as a whole and especially in con= nection with that phase of business as it affects not only industry, agri- culture, commerce: and trade, but changes affecting the newspaper and publishing business. 1 "In the past America has been able to carry the load of a widespread duplication .of effort in all lines of endeavour. Great wealth and tre- mendous financial resources leading to increased individual earning pow- er brought about a condition that lead to a duplication of effort along many lines, "As we view it, the hope for the smaller urban and rural commun- ities is a closer centralization of ef- fort over a wider territory, v a government standpoint, it will be necessary for one or two counties to function where thrée or four separate units operated before, Self preservation will force reduction in taxes through elimination of waste, excess" baggage and overhead through an elimination of duplica- tion in payroll and operating ex- penses, "The future of the smaller urban and rural towns and cities of Am- erica is dependent upon a unity of effort on the part of the citizenship, property owners and taxpayers of individual communities, Closer communion, reduced operating ex- penses, less duplication of effort, better understanding between citi= zens of individual communities as to common interests as against the inroads of the larger metropolitan centres herein will determine future welfare and prosperity of rural and urban life, "The future, like the past, will be a survival of the fittest insofar urban and rural communities arc concerned, This is likewise true in- sofar as the newspaper, printing and publishing business is concern- ed. However, with greater and ever increasing methods of rapid trans- portation bringing metropolitan cen- tres depends upon their adding strength through a consolidation of effort among citizens with a com mon interest over a wider trade aren, The stronger and more cen- tralized community odly will sur- vive.
