Why Go to Court? The Oshawa Board of Education has filed official notice that it intends to go to court in an effort to settle the dispute with the City Council over the educational bud- get for 1932. [It is regrettable that this step has been found necessary. It means a needless expenditure of public moneys, for court actions, no matter how economi- cally they may be carried on, always in- vplve costs, and in this case the public will have to pay. Perhaps if the people re- sponsible for the court proceedings were required to pay the costs out of their own pockets, they would be less eager to go to law over a matter which should be settled by negotiation. I There is nothing in the whole dispute hich the two bodies could not settle to heir mutual satisfaction by getting to- ether around a table. It is true that the ity Council seems to he exceeding its powers in dictating to the Board of Educa- fon as to the amount of money it may pend during the year 1932. The law is plear on that point. But since the ultimate pbjective is the saving of public money, a matter in which the members of both odies are, we believe, deeply interested, it hould not be difficult for them to find a basis of agreement if an honest effort were to be made. { So far, neither body has felt willing to papitulate to the other. One stands on its flegal rights, the other places its case on its desire to reduce public expenditure, Some- here between the two extremes, however, here should be a common ground before resorting to legal action, No matter what the supreme court will ecide, the court of public opinion, which , after all, the court of last resort for ublic bodies, will say in no uncertain s that it is foolish to spend public oneys, in a time when savings are essen- al, on the legal costs of fighting out in urt a dispute which could be settled by her and more peaceful means, 8 If it is not too late--and we do not be- ieve it is--we would strongly urge that e Board of Education and the City Coun- il meet in joint session for a. frindly dis- cussion of the whole problem, and out of this discussion, we feel sure, will arise an ynderstanding which will entirely obviate the necessity of expensive legal proceed- ings in the matter. Expecting a Long War The news from Shanghai that the Chin- ese government is preparing for a long war with Japan is significant. The Chinese government is buying war implements in «large quantities, and its troops are digging themselves in for a war of attrition. And as both sides have large reserves of man power, it is likely that it will be a long struggle before either side can claim the final victory. « The world is now witnessing another great war. We might as well reconcile our- selves to that fact, casting aside all aca- demic discussions as to whether or not war Ras actually been declared. "The Japanese dre finding, much to their surprise, that the Chinese have an army well prepared for the struggle. Several days of fighting have made this only too clear. And the prol:abilities are that, having met with un- expected resistance, the Japs will increase their forces in an effort to overcome that resistance, ~ Any way one looks at is, there is sure to be a long struggle for supremacy. It was merally expected that Japan would make ort work of any opposition China might But the world has heen given a surprise, and must now look forward to an extended period of fighting with the result © very uncertain, The main thing is to localize the conflict between the two nations now involved, It - is apparent that none of the other powers re intending to get into the scrap unless ey are forced to intervene, and that g PBeing the case, it is to be hoped that noth- will occur to precipitate a general world conflict as a result of the battles at . Js The government will ask for "another Jlank cheque for unemployment relicf, it is stated, The one received last year proved "Very useful, A Campaign for Self- preservation W. M. Gilbert, speaking at the Chamber of Commerce supper meeting on Monday, uttered an undoubted truth when *he said "that the continuance of the Chamber of Commerce in Oshawa was a necessity for the self-preservation of the business life of the community. The Chamber of Com- merce means much to the growth and de- velopment of the city. It is a vital factor in promoting new development, in attract- ing new industries to the community. If it fails, then all the work which it has undertaken to do fails also, and Oshawa begins to recede into a condition of hope- less stagnation, Under these circumstances, every busi- ness man, interested in his own self-pre- servation, has a direct interest in the suc- cess of the present campaign. He should be working in it, and if that is not possible, he should at least be prepared to support the Chamber of Commerce by his member- ship. Any citizen who is in a position to join the Chamber of Commerce and who refuses to do so is standing in his own light, for he can only hope to prosper as the city prospers, and the future prosper- ity of Oshawa is linked insolubly with the building up of a strong, progressive and adequately-financed Chamber of Com- merce, Editorial Notes The Japanese government, which sup- ports the military party, has been returned to power with an overwhelming majority. This makes it look as if Japan's warlike attitude will continue, Have your cheque ready for the Cham- ber of Commerce canvassers. The crowds at the Masonic Temple Auditorium today, tomorrow and on Thurs- day will show how keenly interested the women of Oshawa are in cooking. Snow again!

Oshawa Chamber of Commerce IS A VITAL FACTOR IN DETERMINING THE FUTURE WELFARE OF OSHAWA En BS Rat A SHALL OUR CITY GO BACKWARD? Without an aggressive Chamber of Commerce, Oshawa's civic spirit would be dead. Thete would be no avenue through which public-spirited men could devote their ability and energies to furthering the city's interests in industrial development and in building up a stronger and more prosperous community life. Oshawa without a Chamber of Commerce would be a city without a program for future development, a city which would go back- ward in every element which makes a happy, contented and prosperous city. The question before the citizens of Oshawa today is--shall Oshawa go backward OR FORWARD? With a well-organized, active Chamber of Commerce, Oshawa's progress will be assur- ed. Oshawa will then have a body of able and public-spirited citizens, working daily to build up a diversification of industry, to secure better and more adequate facilities of =ll kinds, including harbor accommodation, to further the welfare of the city, and to secure for it a larger share of tourist and convention trade. Under the re-organization plan, the Chamber of Commerce will truly represent all classes of the community, and will provide a medium for constructive and aggressive city-building activities. THE CHOICE LIES WITH ITS PEOPLE Only the people of Oshawa can answer the question of whether the city shall go back- ward or forward. Today, tomorrow and on Thursday, enthusiastic workers are seeking the answer to the question. YOU can do your part in making sure that the city goes forward by giving the canvassers a cordial reception, and by making YOUR response to the appeal for the building up of a stronger and more representative Chamber of Commerce to work Join and Support Your Chamber of Com- merce ~It Works for You--~ Work for It
