A Retraction and Apology | The Times Publishing Company of Osh- F awa, Limited, publishers of The Oshawa Daily Times, have been served with a no- tice from Charlie Sing and Jack Yuen, com- plaining of a statement which appeared as an editorial in this column under the head- ing "Juvenile Court Sentence" in the issue of The Oshawa Daily Times published on | February 6th, 1932. The article complained of had to do with a charge against Charlie Sing and Jack Yuen under the Juvenile Delinquency Act tried in the Oshawa Juv- enile Court. The Times Publishing Com- pany of Oshawa, Limited, regrets that the article complained of was published and tenders its fullest apology to Charlie Sing and Jack Yuen for the publication of the same. Furthermore, and insofar as the ar- ticle~eomplained of contained any state- ment of facts, The Times Publishing Com- pany of Oshawa, Limited, fully and freely retracts any and all such statements. This apology and retraction is published in the hope that full amends may thereby be made to Charlie Sing and Jack Yuen for any injury or inconvenience that may have been occasioned to them by the pub- _ Jication of the article of which they have complained. Unreasonable Requests In hard times, when people are suffering from a general lack of employment, indi- viduals and governments are always in- 'clined to be more than usually sympathetic to the pleas which are made by the victims of these conditions. It is not always easy, 'however, to be sympathetic when demands ~ «gre made which are neither sound 'nor reasonable. For instance, a deputation from a body calling itself the United Front Conference waited on Premier Henry the other day with a long list of demands. . Those making the demands were quite : sincere in making them. They were suf- Yering from the economic situation, and they no doubt believed that if their re- .quests were granted, their troubles would ~ ~be over. But the requests they made were * "not reasonable. The deputation must have known in advance, if it was gifted with 'orinary intelligence, that their requests could not be granted by the provincial premier. For instance, here are some of them :-- : - Legislation for a non-contributory sys- tem of unemployment insurance. A guarantee of four days work per week for married men and three days work per week for single men, The repeal of section ¢ p 798 of the criminal code. = + The use of governmental appropriations for naval, military and cadet expenditures unemployment relief. : ; Provision of direct relief by the govern- ment when municipalities were unable to . pay their share. . A tax on banks to take care of expendi tures necessary for relief, It is hardly necessary to comment on ~ these requests. In one or two cases, they have some merit. For instance, if there were general disarmament, it might be gsible to divert expenditures now made naval and military purposes into chan- of greater usefulness. e, it would be quite impossible for any nment, under przsent circumstances, 0 grant them. No government on earth or instance, could guarantee four days' ork a week for married men and three days' work a week for single men. No rovincial government could ever sanction non-contributory system of unemploy- nt insurance, which would be much jorse as a drain on the treasury than the Sjuch-eriticized dole system of Great Bri- b n. 4 It is very easy to make requests for tion and expenditures by the govern- iment. It is not so easy, however, to have Jthese requests granted. Experience has shown that when sane and reasonable re- are made, requests that have merit in them, governments are usually willing jo give them favorable consideration, But hen the demands have no shadow of rea- oni behind them, they are fore-doomed to ilure, and no thinking person would have , word to say in eriticism of the govern- ent for refusing them. Before Japan and China go any further, y should figure out how they will pay war debts.--Toronto Globe, LN 'the But, on the THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1932 Trouble in India Rather serious news of revolts among the northern tribesmen in India, was con- tained in the cable despatches on Saturday. These warlike tribesmen, led by Turkish officers, and supplied with modern imple- ments of war, made a determined attack on the British forts, and serious fighting, in which nearly three hundred British of- ficers and men were killed and about two hundred wounded. Thus the Indian fron- tier is again the scene of events which must give the Britsih government cause for grave anxiety. It should not be thought, however, that there is a definite relationship between the troubles on the Indian frontier and the, campaigns of Gandhi and his associates. These wild tribesmen, far removed from the thickly populated cities and towns of India, have nothing in common with the Mahatma and his followers. It is not likely that they are interested in any way in his campaign for Indian independence. Rather is it likely that the trouble is a purely local one, associated in some way with the rest- lessness, which has always been apparent in the hill country, " - Nevertheless, the situation is disturbing. Britain has a serious problem to solve in keeping these tribes under control. Sinister outside influences have apparently been at work in fomenting this latest uprising, rather than internal agitators, and this makes the situation all the more difficult, since there are powers which would take especial delight in complicating the prob- lem which rests on the shoulders of Great Britain in the government of India, Editorial Notes However, President Hoover has had so much tough luck it would not surprise us a bit to see him get the Republican nomina- tion in '32.--Judge. So long as the Canadian navy sticks to rescuing Canadian missionaries and such in Central America, there will be approval for its actions.--Sault Star.

Other Editor's Comments HOW SCOTS DO IT (Ottawa Journal) Co One of the first things that strikes a visitor to the British Isles is the universal respect for law, There's a reason, That reason, we think, is illustrated pretty well in the subjoined paragraph, taken from the Scots- man: Sheriff Laing, at the close of a two days' trial in Aberdeen, on January 8, imposed fines of $250 each, or a total of $500, on William Robertson Bruce, fish merchant, 421 Great Western Road, Aberdeen, on his conviction of having recklessly driven a motor car when so much under the influence of liquor as not to have proper control of the car, the result being that a butcher lad on a push bicycle was knocked down on Christmas Eve and was so seriously injured that he lay in a critical condition in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for several days. The Sheriff also suspended the accused's driving license for seven years, A few fines of this character, with suspension of licenses for a few years instead of a few weeks, would soon end reckless driving in this country. { BITS OF HUMOR She: "That's the first time in my life that a man has ever kissed me!" He: "You told me that a month ago." She: "Oh, it was you, was it?" W. S. Gilbert once said of a certain man: "No one can have a higher opinion of X than I have-- and I think he's a dirty little beast." A} A Scotsman was acting as guide to a tourist, and on reaching a high peak, the latter exclaimed: "What a splendid view. It is a pity I have for- gotten the glasses." The Scotsman replied: "Never mind, sir; there's naebody aboot. We'll just drink oot the bottle." "Who gave you that black eye?" "Nobody gave it to me. I had to fight for it." BITS OF VERSE HALF-WISDOM Never again shall I crv to the clear white stars, Never again sing my sorrows; suddenly I have grown wise, suddenly I have learned Only the sea Must weep always, always; only the hills Must hide their aches through all eternity, Only the stars must watch and wait forever, Relentlessly. What are my sorrows next to these great sorrows? I have buried them deep I have grown brave and strong. Only how long will my great joys now last me, How Tong? ~Frederic Prokosch, Its Future Activities for SFE weak ARTICLE NO 1 WHAT OTHER CITIES THINK Having reviewed the original program of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, as set up in 1928, and compared with it the perfor- mance of that program, it is now of interest to consider the plans for its re-organization. Most people, by this time, will agree tha! the Chamber of Commerce has more than justified its exist- ence in Oshawa, and will agree that it is an organization which is well worth supporting as a community-building body. At this time, however, it is worth while to note what the mayors of other cities of Ontario have to cgay regarding the Chambers of Commerce in their communities. Letters have been received with- in the last few weeks, from a number of mayors, glving their views on the value of the Cham- ber of Commerce. It is impos- sible, in the space available, to print all of these letters in full, but extracts from them, showing the various opinions which exist, should prove interesting and helpful. Mayor Swayze, Niagara Falls The mayor of Niagara Falls, Ont,, C. F. Swayze, for instance, in a eltter which was linked up with a Chamber of Commerce campaign in his own city, says the following: "The industrial, commercial, ¢ economic, educational and civic phases of our community life should be brought by systematic, intelligent effort to such a plane as to make the city a convenient and economical place in which to do business, but, equally as im- portant, a beautiful, sane and healthful city in which to live, "The sure way to accomplish this is to marshal our resources, | trate our efforts through a strong centralized, business organization thinking and acting for the city as a whole. Such a body, ade- quately financed and directed by | 2ctive and enterprising officers is | able to command, at the hanas of | federal. provincial and municipa! anlhorities serious and favorable i consideration for the concerted | opinion of local business interests { or all public questions, "It 1s therefore essential that ll such recommendations bs | urged by a body so comprehen- sive in its membership and broad in its scope as to command the | confidence and support of the en- | | tire community," This message by Mayor Swayze fits into the Oshawa situation so well that it is worth giving, since it shows the part which a Chamber of Commerce, properly organized, can play In the devel opment of any community, Mayor Jagoe, St. Thomas Mayor John A, Jagoe, of St. Thomas, the subject, did not waste words, "An active Chamber of Com- merce, working fn close co-opera- tion with a munielpal council, can the community that decides whether a city is classed as pro- eressive and attractive or other- wire, "In these modern days of ad- vertising, no city can make the growth it should without a good Chamber of Commerce. "Trusting your citizens will give the support you deserve in your efforts to serve them." Mayor Croll, Windsor Mayor David Croll, of Wind- sor gives a good idea, In his let- ter, of the value of the Chamber of Commerce to the city over vhich he presides. He says: "We find that our Chamber of Commerce in the city of Windsor Is very helpful in encouraging tourist trade, and supplying in- formation to thousands of peaple who are about to visit the Bor- der Cities, which advertising fs carried on on a particularly large scale. The Chamber of Commerce hus also proven valuable in bring- ing industries to the city, par- ticularly when industries were more available, It Lrings togeth- er public-spirited citizens, who give the city thelr keen interest Thirst Quenching Refreshing Pure PEPO-MINT WINT-O-QREEN CL-O-VE LIC-0-RICE OCINN-O-MON VHO-LET mobolize our forces and concen- | in giving his views on | his contribution being as follows: | en)ist many men in a service to | Re-organization of th Chamber of Commerce Some Pertinent Observations and Information With Ref- erence to the Value of the Chamber of Commerce and the Benefit of Oshawa. and effort, and expect nothing in return except the general wel- tare and betterment of the com- munity." Mayor Thompson, Cobourg Even in places much smaller than Oshawa, a Chamber of Commerce is found to be a very valuable community asset, For instance, in the town of Cobourg, the Chamber of Commerce hag been found of such value that Mayor George Thompson writes as follows: "I have learned with consider- ehle interest of your campaign, and wish you every success in your efforts. "I believe that an active and aggressive Chamber of Commerce is a great asset to any munieci~ paiity, not only because of its efforts to obtain new industries, and the value of its publicity re- garding the town, but because of | the helpfully co-operative spirit which it encourages amongst its business men. "In these days of depression, when we are faced with difficult problems of all kinds, it would have been my inclination to give up the responsibilities of munici- pal office if the esprit-de-corps of the citizens generally had gressiveness and constructive ac- tivities of our Chamber of Com- | merce." Mayor McCordick, St. Catharines Mayor McCordick, of St, Cath- erines, in a long letter telling of the advantages of the Chamber of Commerce to his city, makes some very pertinent observations, The following extracts from his letter are of particular interest: 'The first thought that pre- sents itself is--what would St. Catharines do without a Chamber of Commerce. There is nothing that I know that could supplant | the organization. Not only the + vresident, directors and manager | of our Chamber are interested in prospective industries but every member of the Chamber is keen- interested to the extent that they subscribe to its upkeep, and are willing to sacrifice thelr own time to assist the management in every way when opportunity oc- curs. 'The office of the Chamber of Commerce is not only an advan- | age in securing data for prospec- tive new industries, but is of im- tiense value to our own manu- lucturing plants who frequently call upon the manager to furnish them with special information. "It has heen my experience that the elected members to 'ounci] are called upon to give so much of their time to admjnistra- tion matters that they cannot properly function in those matters such as come under the attention of the Chamber of Com- | merce, and therefore, the Cham- her has the effect of relieving the city council of a great deal of | work that would otherwise fall | on their shoulders and not re-| ceive the exacting attention that | it should , . .. I believe the city depends a great deal on an ac-| ive Chamber of Commerce." Mayor Tice, Belleville Another long letter comes from George Tice, years of municipal experience be | fore reaching the mayor's chair this year. In his letter, he gives a long list of new industries brought to Belleville through the efforts of the Chamber of Com- merce, and also makes some ob- gervations on the part played by the Chamber in the life of the community, In part, his letter reads as follows: "Having been Informed that your Chamber of Commerce fis about to undertake a re-organi- zation campaign, I feel prompted to write and give you in brief form, a statement of some of the advantages that have come to us at Belleville since our Chamber of Commerce was first instituted. "In the twelve years that have elapsed since that time, we have witnessed the transformation of Belleville from a- quiet, residen- tial city, with stationary popula- tion, to a progressive industrial centre where the annual output of manufactured goods runs well up into the millions of dollars. In that period of time, no less than thirteen powerful American man- ( ufacturing corporations have es- tatlished factory branches in our city to supply the Canadian mar- ket, and, in many instances, the export trade. "At the same time a number of other lively manufacturing or- ganizations, backed up by local or Canadian capital, have been formed or have been located here Hand have taken a substantial po- sition in creating an exceedingly favorable groundwork for future growth and expansion such as can be brought only through the me- dium of varied and well-founded industries, "It is my firm conviction that few, if any of these manufactur. ing organizations would have lo- cated here had it not been for the favorable conditions brought about through the instrumental- ity of the Chamber of Commerce. "In these recent years, our city has carried to successful comple- tion a great, program of new con- struction, such as the entire re- building of our schools, with a vocational and collegiate insti- tute of the most modern type, new bridges crossing the Moira River and the Bay of Quinte, a filtration system, a gas-generat- ing plant, the installation of ade- quate street lighting, and many other improvements which have practically meant the transfor- mation of our city, "In all these important under- takings, the city council has had the cordial co-operation and packing of the Chamber of Com- merce, It is obviously impossible, in a brief summary like this, to refer to the multifarious activi- ties of such an organization. The collective result is Lefore us, The work of the Chamber of Com- merce has been indelibly engrav- ed upon the records of our city during the past dozen years, A Beileville, revived, transformed and going forward to an assured fuvure, is the result. "In conclusion; I make this un- qualified statement: 1 have n, desire to be Chief Ma- not, in that city, munity building some organization of Commerce." Mayor O, G. Lye, Guelph communities, it is interesting to quote from a letter written by his letter he says: "I am afraid my few cotld not give sufficient to our local Chamber of Com- merce, still I would like to ack- rowledge, at least, the apprecia- A city needs citizens, and but when this support Is strong- ly re-inforced by such a body as support from its not | heen largely kept up by the ag- | Mayor of the city of Belleville, who has had many | behind this organization seems to | be enduring, and, when it come | to securing new industries, it | never fails.
