Interdependence It has become somewhat of a platitude to say that the prosperity of the city de- . pends on the prosperity of the farmer, and vice versa. This theory of interdependence has long been recognized by students of economics. It was brought home very forcefully as a practical thing, however, in the address which wag delivered at the farmers' banquet of the Rotary Club last night by Dr. G. I. Christie, president of the Ontario Agricultural College. Dr. Christie had little difficulty in con- vineing his mixed audience of city and rural folks of the truth of this old time platitude. With pork at 81, cents a pound, eggs at 6 cents a dozen, cheese at 10 cents a pound, and potatoes at 15 cents a bag, the returns to the farmer for his produce were so small that he had nothing left to do any buying after he had paid his taxes and the interest on his mortgage.' Since, in normal times, the exportable surplus of wheat brought new wealth to the farmer to spend of $400,000,000 a year, and at present prices it was bringing only about $150,000,000, on the basis of a 500,- 000,000 bushel crop, this meant that the farmers had that much less to spend. It requires no student of economics to see the effect of this. Prices in all classes of farm products have reached so low a Jeve] that the farmers have no money to spend, and industry is suffering thereby. The logical conclusion, then, is that there .must be material readjustments of prices of farm products before there can be a definite return to industrial prosperity in this country. In many cases, said Dr. Christie, prices had been forced down be. low levels which consumers were willing to pay, by the actions of hucksters and 'other middlemen, and he conceived it to be the duty of business men to remedy that condition by adjusting prices to a reasonable level, " Addresses of this kind are enlightening, and place the economic picture squarely before those who wish to look at it with uncolored spectacles. People in the cities, if they wish the wheels of industry to turn, must be prepared to see that the farmer secures a fair price for what he has to sell, in comparison with what he has to buy. /"**" There is the problem. It is not an easy one to solve. Even Dr. Christie admitted that he had no panacea for the difficulties which are facing agriculture today. But there is always hope when men are willing to face the problem squarely and apply themselves to finding the solution. That 'is what men need to do today in order to bring back such prosperity as can be in- duced to come through an improvement in the position of the agricultural industry. The Hewitt Case The board of pensions commissioners of Canada is determined not to allow pension to the bereaved widow and family of the late Gunner Hewitt without fighting to the last ditch, The decision of the board to appeal the tribunal decision granting him & pension must come as a shock to all those who read the facts of the case as they were reported in The Times two weeks ago. It seemed a clear case for a pension award, yet the board, entrenched behind its bar- rier of bureaucracy and red tape, is deter- mined not to submit to the tribunal's ruling "without an appeal to the pensions appeal + gourt, the court of last resort. Meanwhile, the bereaved Sadly is still suffering, just as it did during Phese long and weary months when Gunner Hewitt was waiting for just recompense for the disabilities incurred on war service. How much longer they will have to suffer is in the lap of the gods, and there is always the possibility that in the end the pension award may be reversed. This is only one example of the condi- tions against which the veterans of Canada are complaining today.' They cannot be- lieve that the people of this country, as a whole, wish the disabled veterans and their families to be treated in this fashion by an autocratic body such as the board of pension commissioners, The people of . Canada desire that those who have suffered because of their service to their country - shal] be dealt with fairly and generously. - The great difficulty seems to be in putting that will of the people into such legislative effect as to make such decisions by the Renal board as that in the Hewitt case ble. An Orderly Demonstration Police preparations for May Day demon- strations in Oshawa proved to be quite unnecessary, on account of the fact that no out-of-town Communists came here to disturb the peace of the city. The police authorities and Mayor Hawkes said in ad- vance that they had mo fear of trouble from the local unemployed, and this view was substantiated by the orderly parade and demonstration held yesterday after- noon, In comparison with some other places in Ontario, the Oshawa demonstration was mild in character. Its leaders were deter- mined that nothing should be done to cause trouble in the city, and they kept their followers well under control. For this they are to be congratulated, The un- employed of Oshawa suffering as they are, have again shown that they are orderly citizens, anxious to retain their right to protest against conditions as they see them, but at the same time determined not to do anything which might injure their cause and bring the city into disrepute. Worthy of Support The Citizens Band of Oshawa on Sunday blossomed out in new uniforms which are a credit to the organization. With gold and red trimmings their uniforms now give the band a brighter and smarter appear- ance, and place them on a par, in dress, with any other band which might be turned out. The band is to be complimented on its efforts to build up a worthy civie organiza- tion for Oshawa, Its members, practically all working men, have sacrificed much for their love of music and their pride in their city. Their appearance on Sunday was the result of much sacrifice on their part. May the citizens not be ungrateful, and be will- ing to give the band the loyal support which it deserves.

Many of them have been established in Montreal. It has been stated that a much greater number have been established in Toronto, where the muni- cipality maintains with appropriate subsidies an in- dustrial commission both vigilant and active. In this rivalry between the two principal Canadian cities to attract new industries, it is clear that Tor- onto will easily carry off the palm by a generous margin, it Montreal is content just to look on with her arms folded.

BD (Copgright, 1938) SIGNIFICANCE OF OCULAR SYMPTOMS Part "4" Headache in the majority of cases is due to some error of the eyes or eye muscles remaining uncorrected, The reason a very full ocular exam- ination should be made in every case is because it is not wise to jump to the conclusion that every head- ache is due te an error of the eyes or eye muscles and unless this ex- amination is complete the condi- tion is only partially corrected, The examination either proves or dis- proves the existance of an error or weakness which may be the cause of the trouble existing. Also the inter- pretation of certain symptoms will be different as the age of the patient changes. and likewisé the correc- tion to the error may be different in the different age of the patient. After the ocular error is attended to, it is necessary in many cases to have the physical condition correct ed. Many reflex disorders show ocular symptoms which require at tention to other parts of the body as well as the correction to the eyes, You can't have your glasses and your eyes adjusted too often unless they are properly corrected they cannot give proper service (To be Continued) "Many weniuses are unmarried, we read.

Editorial EIR A Hon, H, 11. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, is generally regarded as on of the "aces" of the Bennett Cabinet, Therefore it 1s disappointing to read his admission in the Commons that there is really very little the Government can do to assist the Maritime ports in get- ting their share of Canada's export grain business, Shippers have the right to send their grain by any route they choose, the Government even lacks the power to tell them it must go by way of a Canadian port, he told the House. Surely the Government is not quite as helpless as Mr. Stevens contends, Certainly there is justice to the plea of the Maritimes for di- version of more of Canada's great outhound grain traffic through their ports, Representatives in Par- liament of the Atlantic Provinces protest that there is discrimination against their ports in the matter of export freight rates. Perhaps the long-awaited report of the Royal Commission on railways may pro- pose a method of removing any curious and illogical schedules which still exist Ld ¥ L There is another angle from which the Government could ap- proach the problem. A major factor in giving the Maritimes only a mea- gre portion of the export grain hus- iness is the diversion of Canadian grain to New York and other Am- erican export terminals, It was re- cently reported by the United Sta- tes Department of Commerce, with natural exultancy, that 49 per cent, of Canadian zrain and flour has Leen handled by American railways and elevators in the past six years. If the New York threat to deepen the Frie Canal is carried out-- that would seem to be behind the reports LEO. A.

Ask for RIGLEYS Keeps the mouth cool and moist From The Border Cities instances, Star go from Albany, New York, of plans to make that city the chief grain port of the continent--this leakage of revenue from Canadian railways, ships and terminals will be increas- ed, That possibility makes it all the more necessary that the Govern- ment should consider some further method of meeting the situation, Why, for instance, should it not be possible to impose an ex- port duty on every bushel of Canadian grain shipped from other than Canadian terminals and carried over other than Ca- nadian transportation' lines? If this proposal does not meet the approval of the Government, why should it not approach the problem from the opposite side, and offer a small per-bushel bonus to encour- age grain shippery to patronize the export facilities of their own coun- try. 4 As a third alternative, and one which would probably accomplish the same results and po more than the same expense of the ex- port bonus plan, why not reduce the grain rates to the Maritimes? The increased traffic would probably more than offset the loss in reven- ue, Indeed, if the Maritime kicks are not extravagant, the present re- venue cannot be large, because the traffic is small, * . No bigger problem confronts the Government and people of Canada than the stabilization on a sound and profitable basis of our two trans-continental railways.

Mr. Watkin- son advocated, as a remedy, the elmination of profit, so that the workers would receive in wages the full value of the things they created, He also urged that those who were coupon-=clippers of government bonds should forego their interest on these issues, thus saving the country $140,000,000, for a year, so that this money could be applied to assisting the unemployed, In closing, he urged his hearers to take advantage of the community garden scheme, which had been created for their benefit, and also paid a tribute to G. W. McLaughlin, F. L. Mason and: A, G. Storie for their able presentation of the clan, of the unemployed of Oshawa to the prime minister of Ontario last week. Another speaker, introduced as Mr. Cook, also spoke, advocating a system of unemployment insurance as one means of helping the unem- ploye workers, Interference Unnecessary At the close of the speaking the crowd "dispersed quietly and. the Oshawa demonstration was over, Throughout the afternoon, Chief of Police Friend and his men kept a close watch on the proceedings, but did not find it necessary to inter- vene, except when Mr, Watkinson, one of the speakers, asked the police to put a stop to the shouting of some young lads who were making it dificult for him to be heard. constable stopped the interruption and everything went off quite smoothly.
