A short devotional service was conducted by Rev. Paul M, Irwin Luke Standret. A, R. introduced and Rev, the spe~kers. The address of Colonel Miles was a revelation of conditions as they really exist in Russia to-day, every . fact which he brought out, beipg taken from personal experience and . knowledge, showing to what state the condition of the people had been | reduced since the revolutions The Russians were the largest | white race in numerical numbers on the globe, the speaker asserted, be- * ing spread over all of Europe and Asia, The corrupt alliance be- tween the church and the state during the old regime paved the way for the revolution it was stated, et the rigours and hardships borne i the people in those times were as nothing compared with those faced to-day by the Russian people. It was a great mistake, Colonel asserted, to think of the There were some 1,360,469 communists, which was a very small part of the total population of the country ! which was set at one hundred and fifty millions. . It would seem ag if the majority would be able to over- * throw this minority, but this min- ority controlled the purse of the country and were assisted by the secret police and the power of the army which allowed individuals to be arrested and sentenced without fair trial. The Five Year Plan Speaking of the Five Year Plan which was inaugurated by Soviet Russia in 1928, Colonel Miles point. ed out that it had three aims, Namely, rapid industrialisation, agricultural collectivisation and the g¢omplete elimination of all capital- istit control. It was the aim of the plan to manufacture goods at such a cost that no other nation would be able to compete success- Russia. The stock of the individual farmers were reduced to such a state that no man could have two cows or two horses and any man who had more was subject fscation in the name of the state. Such was the magnitude of the plan that officials stated thay if no country declared 'war for two ss~rs after the expiration of the | five vears, that Soviet Russia would be able to go to war against the ll remainder of the world.

Wright Did Much to Help Bandits' Victim E. G. Wright, Oshawa taxi driver, hose, photo appeared as a small set" to a picture of the scene of Saturday night's hold-up printed in yesterday's issue of The Times, was the driver of the car in which J. S. Qakley, the bandits' victim, was giv- en a ride to the city from Courtice If it had not been for Mr. Wright's action in giving Mr. Oak~ lev a lift after the bandits had left him stranded, there would have been a considerable delay in getting information to the police regarding the occurence, and his action in the matter is very favorably commented on by the authorities; SENTENGED T0 REFORMATORY B. L. Harfield Found Guilty of Defrauding Local Company This morning B. L. Hartleld, formerly of Peterboro, appeared before Magistrate T. K. Creigh- ton on a charge of fraudulently converting $136, belonging to the Ontario Motor Sales to his use. He pleaded guilty and the magis- trate sentenced him to six months definite and one year indetermin- ate in the Ontario Reformatory. According to the evidence Har- field obtaineq a truck from the Ontario Motor Sales representing himself as a salesman for J. K. Hughes, of Peterboro, Ontario. It was later discovered that he was never connected with that company and when the General Motors Acceptance papers came jirough it was learned that he, a whiéh he received $135 cash, which the Ontario Motor Sales never received. When ' Magistrate Cteighton asked Harfleld what he hag done with the money the accused claimed that he had spent $35 on the maintenance of the truck but could not give a satisfactory explanation of what he did with the rest of the money. "This is an old game, Your Worship," Crown Attorney Mc- Gibbon pointed out. "I am afraid that IT will have to give you a term in the re- formatory," said Magistrate Creighton, "You have been in- volved in a deliberate frauda- lent deal and will have to take the consequences. I hope this will mark the end of your crim- inal career."

The bat- tle of machine-guns and the roar of artillery was continuous as the bluejackets advanced and Chinese forces centred in the Chapel area, resisted the attacks. The Chinese used stokes and mortars for artil- lery. The Japanese continued their light artillery bombardment as well as machine-gun fire. The whole had every appearance of a major engagement. Explosions of guns shook the entire foreign set- tlement leading to the belief that the Japanese were using heavy ordinance which, it was thought, must be the guns of warships in the lower river, Swatow Mayor Apologizes Hong Kong, Feb. A aiten from Amoy and Swatow, China, where considerable tension was excited yesterday because of Jap- anese threats, sald cities were hoth quiet today and the Chinese had acceded to Japanese demands, The Mayor of Swatow publicly apologized for anti-Japanese ar- ticles in local newspapers and an agreement was reached between him and the Japanese Consul.

His address fitted in splendidly with the Father and Son gathering to which the Rotarians had been looking forward with keen anticipation, It followed a sump- tuous repast, and an excellent pro- gram of entertainment, arranged by Dave Tod and S, F, Everson, this including selections by the Oshawa Harmonica Band, costume dances by Misses Horton and Engel and little Ted Morgan, and a beautifully rendéred solo by Albert Greenlaw, The program was thoroughly enjoy- ed, and provided opportunities for hearty applause from the gathering. W. M. Gilbert, in a few well-chosen ds, welcomed the boys, while the speaker was introduced by Mac oanes, Judge Mott Saying he had tormerly been a school teacher, Judge Mott gave his address in the form of a spelling lesson, but concentrating his atten- tion on the inferences to be drawn from the words he had in mind. The first essential for a boy was that he be true, and Judge Mott counselled fathers to have a listen- ing ear to the imagination of their sons. Boys, he said, should be true to their stomachs, so as to build strong and healthy bodies, and true to their minds, putting into them only the best. They should learn to love beauty in art, nature and cul- ture, and he advised fathers to ~ro- vid» beautiful works of art for the walls of their sons' rooms. v and | The second essential was " that a boy be honest. 'You can cheat ofily one person," he said, "and that per- son is yourself." It was necessary for everyone to learn to put as well as to take, and the boy who put into his work more than he took in salary was the boy who would eventually come out on top. The third essential wag that a boy be industrious. "You cannot go through the world without work- ing," he said. "Some people say they want to have their sons given an education so that they will not have to work. But you have to work to eet an education, and then (Continued on page 3) STOCK BREEDERS MEET IN TORONTO Oshawa and District Well Represented at Annual Meeting Toronto, Feb, 2.--Live stock breeders took possession of To- rounto yesterday when representa. tives from all parts of the Domin- fon gathered for the annual meet- ings of various associations.

BLACKBURN The City Treasurer who was appointed Comptroller of Revenue by the City Council at last night's meeting in accordance with a recom- mendation of the Finance Committee, Mr. Blackburn's duties will be defined in a by-law to be submitted to Council at the next meet. ing. - City to Discontinue Most of Relief Work Financial Position Makes It Impossible to Carry on--In- let Sewer for Sewage Disposal Plant Only Project to be Continued--All Other Works to Cease A joint report of the Finance Committee and the Board of Works, submited to City Counc! last night by Ald, W, Boddy, and adopted, indicates that all relief work for the unemployed with the exception of the inlet sewer for the proposed sewage disposal plant will be discontinued in the interests of economy, Ald. Boddy made it clear, how- ever, that "it is not the intetnion of this council to shirk fits re- spongiblilities towards the unem- ployed, and other means will be found to care for them." The formal report, dealing with a letter recently addressed to council by Eddie McDonald as chairman of the Unemployed As- sociation of Oshawa in its first clause, read as follows: iieply To Unemployed That the City Clerk be instruet- ed to address the following reply to the Chairman of Unemployed Assoclation of Oshawa:-- "That this Council, having regard to the number of men unemployed, and the amount of civic work avail- able, Is endeavouring to provide adequate relief in the nature of work and any other assistance necessary to the utmost ability of the Municipality financially to meet the situation." That the construction Bond Street Bridge and Outlet Sewer previously authorized be not proceeded with and the work on Bloor St. Sewer be discontinu- ed. That the Inlet Sewer to the pro- posed Sewage Disposal Plant he completed in accordance with the original plan, Impossible To Continue In submitting these recommen- cations Ald. Boddy stated, "It is of the impossible for the city to continue further capital expenditures for work until we are in a better fi- nancial condition. There is no se- cret about that and every member of this council knows the facts. "We have to he well assured that our credit Is not impaired, and with the amount of money that we owe to the banks already we have got to stop and take stock, AB a matter of fact we should not be doing anything in the way of capital expenditures at ull, but we will continue work on the one sewer which will take about six weeks to complete," sald Ald, Boddy. Opposed To Bewer Work The principle of this recom- mendation was, apparently, ac- ceptable to the whole council al- though Ald. Morris expressed himself as not favoring the con- tinuation of work on the inlet sewer above other work, "The sewer will be absolutely no good to the city whatsoever until we construct a sewage dis- posal plant, which we may never do for ten years, and in the mean- time it will. he eating its head off with interest charges," sald Ald, Morris, At the request of ccuncil the city engineer, I', B. Goedike, ex- plained that the estimated cost of the sewer was $75,000, More than half of the work has been com- pleted and the actual cost will be under the estimate. Mayor Macdonald stated "the understanding is, of course, that we wlll be able to still look after practically the same number of unemployed for some weeks. We are not going to let any one starve, and Jf direct relief is nec- essary it will be forthcoming." Was Severely Injured in Street Accident Miss Dorothy Simpson, of Brighton, in Oshawa Hospital Following Collision on King Street West Yesterday Miss Dorothy Simpson, 22, of Brighton, is in the Oshawa General Hospital suffering from very severe injuries to her back received in an automobile crash on the interesec- tion of King and Burke Streets yes- terday afternoon. From information in possession of the Oshawa Police it appears that Miss Simpson was a passeneer in a car driven by Noel Marshall, of Brighton, when it came into colli- sion with an auto driven by Morley Kinsman, 24 Aberdeen Street, this city. Mr. Marshall's car was overturn- ed owing to the impact and it was then that Miss Simpson was injur- ed. Dr. G. L. Bird was called to the scence and ordered her immediate removal to hospital, where an x- rav_ examination discovered the in- juries to be most severe. The police have investigated the occurrence and up until this morn- ing no charges had been laid against any person, MAY ESTABLISH RELIEF STORE Council to Consider Such a Civic Depot in the Future Ald, Cliff, Harman had a num- ber of matters which he brought to the attention of the City Coun- cil when motions were 'in order" last night. On his motion the matter of es- tablishing a relief store, to faclli- tate the distribution of relief, was referred to the Finance Commit tee for further consideration, au- thority being given by council for representatives to visit the City of St, Catharines in order to study the methods prevailing in that city. Ald. Harman also introduced a resolution to the effect that the Property Committee erect signs governing the speed of motorists passing under the C.N.R. Subway on Simcoe Street South. He also spoke of tho danger created by children using the banks of the new subway as a slide for sleighs and toboggans, and sponsored a motion that the Property Committee erect signs prohibiting this practice.

YOUNG PEOPLE TOOK CHARGE Special Service in King St. Church Address by Toronto Minister The executive of the Young People's Boclety of King Street Church was in charge of the wor- ship service at the special meet- ing on Monday night, Commenc- ing at 7.45 a fifteen minute period of community singing was enjoyed, after which Harold Bar- ker took charge, After singing a hymn prayer was offered by Velma Harris, followed by the reading of the Scripture Lessgn, taken from Moffatt's translation, {| by Jennie Pringle, A story was told by Marjorie Blewett entitled "Inasmuch." Following a solo by Mr. Green- law, which was listened to with much enjoyment, Mr, Cragg In- troduced the special speaker of the evening, Rev. Dr. Harold Young, of Bt. Paul's and Avenue Road Church, Toronto, Dr. Young took his text from Amos 7:14-15. He gave a gra- phic description of Amos cowing into a large group of people, his eyes blazing with determination. No one knew him or from where he came, The burden of his mes- nage was, "Let there be justice in every nation, and for the na- tion in which justice is denied will be ruin and disaster." we can well take time to consider his message today. Those preachers of ¢ld discussed the problems that confronted the people. Today it is the preacher's business to save sinpers, to give guidance, and to oxpound the principles of the Chirstian religion. We have great privileges today, but the greater the privileges the greater the responsibilities, Our age is given power such as no age ever had before, When Amos came in {rom the country with his great message, he accused the people, in tones of thunder, of their many sms and transgressions, and call- ed them to repentance, In clos- ing Dr, Young said that the world today is facing a crisis, and we are in need of the repentance for which Amos was pleading with Lis people. J At the close of Dr. Young's ad- dress, Mr. Greenlaw was again called upon, after which the meeting was closed with a hymn and benediction by Dr. Young.

Mrs, C.

Principles That May be Suggested A canvass of league authorities and leading spokes men for many of the delegations, made tonight by the United Press, revealed that the following principles will be suggested: 1. Extension of the present year's armament truce to three, four, or five years. The present truce expires in November and merely 1imitdd nations to the ar- mament programs they had al- ready adopted. .2 A budgetary reduction of perhaps five per cent., in appro- priations for war peparations. 3. Establishment of a perm- anent disarmament commission for international control of arm- aments and their limitation or reduction, 4. The laying of a foundation for future limitation conferences. 6. The possibility that some progress will be made in the re- striction or abolition of chem- ical, gas and germ warfare, Adoption, perhaps with some modification, of these points, is the limit to which most of the authorities will go in predicting the result of the united efforts of 55 nations which are about to go into conference. It is generally admitted that whatever result Is attained, world opinion will suffer a severe dis- fllusionment. The most optimistic of the del- egates are concentrating thelr hopes on a possible extension or broadening of the armaments truce for a period of several years while the world is being educat- ed to the necessity of permanent reduction, Favor Broadening of Truce Since the present truce was adopted as the result of Italian initiative, it is believed that Italy may propose an extension of ft. It is known that Sweden, Norway, Holland and Switzerland are in favor of broadening the truce. It is also believed that Germany is prepared bitterly to resist any cffort to perpetuate the over whelming superiority in arma- ments of her neighbors--notably France.

"| Will Take Effect From February 1, on Sliding Scale According to the Amount Previously Re- ceived by Employees REDUCTIONS FROM 5 TO 15 PER CENT. City Treasurer Appointed Comptroller of Revenue --Total Budget For Year to be Reduced by Twen- ty Per Cent. At the regular meeting of the city council held last night, a recommendation embodying a sliding scale of reductions in sal- aries for all civic employees over which the council has jurisdic- tien was adopted, and will go in- to force as from February 1, In explaining 'these recommen- dations to the council Ald. W. Bcddy, chairman of the finance committee, stated that the reduc- tions, in the aggregate, if put in= to effect would represent a reduc- tion of "a little better than ten per cent." on the whole salary budget for the year. Schedule Adopted The recommendation as adopt- ed, read as follows. -- That the salaries of civic offi- clals under the control of the City Council, including the Gen- eral Office Staff, Works Fore- man, City Solicitor, Court Steno~ grapher and Interpreter and Fire Dept. be reduced in accordance with the following scale, effective February lst:--- Salaries up to $1,000, five per cent, Over $1,000 up to #1,300, five per cent on $1,000, six per cent on balance, Over $1,300 up to $1,600, five per cent on $1,000, seven per cent on balance, Over $1,600 up to $1,900, five per cent on $1,000, eight per cent on balance, Over $1,900 up to $2,200, five per cent-on $1,000, nine per cent on balance. Over $2,200 up to $2,500, five per cent on $1,000, 10 per cent en balance. Over $2,600 up to $2,800, five per cent on $1,000, 11 per cent on Lalance. Over $2,800 up to $3,100, five per cent on $1,000, 12 per cent on balance, Over $3,100 up to $3,400, five per cent on $1,000, 13 per cent on baicnce, Over $3,400 up to $3,700, five per cent on $1,000, 14 per cent on balance, Over $3,700 up to $4,000, five per cent on $1,000, 15 per cent on balance, That the salaries of the Judge and Probation Officer of the Juvy= enile Court be reduced from $1,» 200 to $800 and $800 to $400 per annum respectively, effective Feb- ruary Ist, That the services of O. H. Luke in the Tax Collections Depart- ment be dispensed with after February .29th, 1932, That the City Treasurer be ap pointed Comptroller of Revenue, and that a bylaw defining his aus thority be prepared and present- ed to this Council. Suggested Alternative When this matter was up for discussion, Ald Crandell, second= ed by Ald. Clark, moved in ams endmeént that another scale be substituted for that recomenaes: Ald, Crandeill's scale would re= duce salaries up to $1,000 by five per cent and then automatically increase all reductions by the nalt of one per cent for every $100 received. The general feeling of council, as volced by Ald. Boddy, appear- ed to be however that there was little time for the consideration of alternative suggestions if the . city officials are to have their tax bills ready, as planned, by April 1. To Reduce Whole Budget "We have got to have our budget in by February 10," said Ald, Boddy, "it we are going to go on according to our plans, and while on that matter I may say that with this suggested reduc~ tion in salaries the City Treasurer assures me that it is possible for the general plan of a total re- duction of twenty per cent in the wholg budget to bo successfully "y do not. think there is enough maferial difference in the two ales to justify its being re- ferred back and the subsequent deiny in action," said Ald, Bod+ + SCOUTS TO GIVE CONCERT Boys of the 5th and 7th Troops of Oshawa Scouts, and the Wolf Cub Packs, are staging a concert in St. George's Parish Hall on the evening of Friday of this week. and an excellent program is being pro= vided for the occasion.
