D, Tresidder, repre % sentative, "% FRIDAY, MAY 20th, 1932. te Winning The People's Hearts Those citizens of Oshawa who had the vilege yesterday of meeting and seeing ir Excellencies the Governor-General and the Countess of Bessborough were de- lighted with their kindly and simple man- ner. Representing His Majesty the King to the people of Canada, the Earl of Bess- bérough has that natural grace and quiet dignity which befits his position, and which wins the hearts of all people who come in contact with such representatives of the British nobility. The Countess of Bessborough, won the hearts of the women in the crowds by her beauty and ' her charming smile as she acknowledged the greetings showered upon her. The only egret felt was that it was not possible to s more of Their Excellencies while they were in Oshawa. Perhaps they will come agin, and will remain longer with the public which yesterday showed a striking desire to do honor to these distinguished citizens of the Empire. A Maelstrom of Deceit The more one reads of the Lindbergh tragedy, the more one becomes shocked with the apparent maelstrom of deceit into which the Lindberghs were plunged when their baby boy was stolen from his crib on March 1. Phrasing it bluntly, the people of this whole continent are disgusted with the many ramifications which have arisen since the body of the child was found § the woods near its former home a wee ago. Men who were trusted by the Lind- berghs and by the police authorities have proven false, have proven themselves to be parasites preying upon the unfortunate couple in the hope of either reward or notoriety. There have been confessions and retractions. clues that have appeared and disappeared, until one is bewildered to know just what is right and just what can be trusted. 'In the midst of all this, one can hardly wonder at the inability of police officers to find anything tangible in the way of clues as to the kidnappers and murderers. They placed their trust on human beings, . and these have proved to be weak reeds "orf which to lean, One wonders if it will ever be possible to trace the mu ;derers, with so many false clues dragged across the trail. One wonders, too, whether the . vaunted civilization of the United States is all that it is supposed to be, when such things can happen with the police abso- _ lutely helpless to give the citizens of the country the protection to which they are untitled. People are Generous An interesting story is told of a Toronto | man who, with his wife and four children, hiked to Montreal, their belongings being > on a cart, and one of the children ing wheeled in a baby carriage. They Jeft Toronto with but two dollars in cash. When they reached Montreal, thanks to the generosity of people they encountered 'on the way, they had $60.00 in cash. At all places along the line, they say, they were welcomed, given food, shelter, and, in 'some cases, gifts of cash. They only paid for room and lodging for one night. This may be an extreme case, but it does show that people nowadays are disposed to ~ be generous to those who are in real need. The man was unable to secure a job, but he did well to accumulate a sum of $60 'during the hike from Montreal to Toronto, 'as well as being able to take care of the needs of his wife and four children, There is something in humanity, it 'seems, which impels those who have little nothing. In this time of distress, this 'quality in human nature is particularly 'strong, as is evident by the splendid re- sponse which has been made everywhere to a for those who are in need. It seen in Oshawa recently when an ap- 'on behalf of a family which had lost its belongings by fire was met with an overwhelming response, It is rather comforting to read stories e that of the Toronto to Montreal hikers lle essential goodness of human nature, enable one to retain a sound faith ready to respond when there is a sulty which people have of always .| Advertising That Failed One insuperable drawback to radio ad- vertising is that the advertisers have no means of ensuring that the public is listen- ing to their programs. Sponsors seem to be dazzled by the salesmen's talk that there are so many million people within the radius of so many radio stations, and at huge cost, they buy time over a certain number of stations, fondly believing--or ,just fondly hoping--that a few million people are listening to the programs. But many of them have had very disappointing results, There is the case of a hosiery manufac- turer who booked thirteen weeks over one of the big American chains. With a large part of the contract unexpired he has ask- ed to have it cancelled because the adver- tising has cost a great deal more than it has brought in. The advertiser's program was heard over 42 stations every week. By way of "keying" the result he offered prizes for a contest. Yet, out of all those millions who were supposed to be listening, only 4,500 answers were received, or an average of about one hundred people per station, each being in a large city. The program was one of those irritating fifteen-minute affairs with a sales talk at the beginning, middle and end, from six to seven minutes Being taken up with the ballyhoo. Obviously, the advertiser did not care a rap about the entertainment; it was publicity for his goods and nothing else he wanted. This is just a sample of what the public has to put up with under a system of radio run for private profit. Soon, it will be im- possible on Canadian chains.--St, Thomas Times-Journal. Editorial Notes The relief store is now operating, and so far it has given satisfaction. The more one reads of the evidence at the hydro investigation, the more one be- comes convinced that the inquiry was needed. Perhaps the members of the Klu Klux Klan in Canada will feel better now that it has been shown that Mitchell Hepburn was not a member of that order. Fire drill in the schools is a real meas- ure of safety training for the children, and Dr. T. E. Kaiser is to be commended on his foresight in encouraging efficiency in carrying it out. Kiwanians took off their coats and did real manual labor in putting their camp in order for the summer. That kind of service gives much satisfaction to those who are doing it. The Earl of Bessbqrough showed that he has a warm place in his heart for the men who were his comrades in the Great War. Other Editor's Comments CIVILIZE THE ROADS (Glasgow Herald) Legislation works no charm on the roads or else- where. It can only create the conditions in which safety can thrive. Ultimately we must protect our- selves. . But when that is said we can only return to an appeal frequently made in this column. As drivers of machines of lethal possibilities, motorists should not be content in the crowded conditions of today with what is called "reasonable care," Ped- estrians are not all so young as they were. The Highway Code has not cured the short-sighted or the hard of hearing. It has not given good legs to the lame. There is a child at every crossing. Noth- ing short of chivalry is demanded, and from our modern charioteers it is not too much to ask. BITS OF HUMOR Little Bill=Do fishes really go about in schools, mummy ? Cr Mother--Yes, dear.

There are various reasons for this, among them-- the two eyes do not work togeth- er with comfort so for conveni- ence one eye is closed and later becomes more weakened amg if persisted in the future dis-asso- ciation is sb enlarged upon, that a correction of vision even to normal in this eye will not be ac- cepted. I have cases of this na- ture on record where normal vis- fon existed and the correction re- fused, upon later examination at the end of a few years it was found impossible to find a correc- tion that would bring the vision back, it having practically gone from non-use. If you feel inclin- ed this habit of closing one eye may be broken if taken in time and if nature gave you vision in this eye she meant you to con- serve it. Persevere in a correc- tion and co-operate by following the advice given and the two eyes working in harmony will be the result, Don't neglect a symptom of this nature for the sake of fu- ture eye comfort. (To be continued) ID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK THAT fair competition is the life of trade. Home business institutions that are helping to pay for the main- tenance and improvements of a city are entitled to the trade of the citizens of the home city. Outside business concerns do nothing towayd the building of the home city and local mer- chants should not be forced to compete with them, Buying. away from home should be stamped out forever, Every dollar and every activity should be united to make business of the home city better, Now is the time to get busy and make local busi- ness better. Every citizen should take am ac- tive and positive stand on all things that go make local business better. All should take a mental inven- tory and find out how they stand in ability and homesty of purpose and willingness to make the home city bigger and better.

RUSSIA GAINING IN U.S. FAVOR Washington Feels Urge to Trade With Soviet Washington, D.C.--The pos- sible change in attitude of the United States towards Russia has recently been made the sub- ject of a report to the Dominion Government at Ottawa by the Canadian Legation here, it fis learned. The inquiry of the Lega- tion was prompted by the in- creased drive for the recognition of Russia by this Government--a drive which has come to include a large number of senators and congressmen who have been firm- ly opposed heretofore. The Legation Investigators found, it was lerned, that high officials of the State Department are now far more inclined to favor recognition of the Soviet regime than at any time since former Secretary of State Hughes announced a rigid policy of avoidance of all things Rus- sian a number of years ago. These officials, it is even sug- gested, are hoping that the move for recognition of the Soviets will attain such momentum that there will have to be a new dec- laration of policy from the White House. Hoover Adamant It is well understood in in- formed circles close to the State Department that President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson are of a different mind about Russia and about the sit- uation in the Far East. The President is unyielding in his opposition to any dealing with the Soviet, even in the nature of mere trade agreements, whereas Secretary Stimson is quite the reverse, Canada's recent heavy ship- ments of grain to the Soviets at Viadivostock through British Columbia, have led the State Department to believe that Can- ada is not only relaxing the em- bargo policy against Russia enunciated by Premier Dennett, but is contemplating trade ar- rangements with the Soviets, It is pointed out at the department that, while lumber and wood pulp from Russia are still ex- cluded by Canada, raw furs have come in since the embargo an- nouncement is considerable quan- tities. The department recalls the bid Russia made to Canada early this year for a large order of Canadian aluminum, offering part cash and part commodities fn return. So far as Is known here, the Bennett Government never publlely replied to that bid, but it is understood that pressure is now being put upon Premier Bennett to reverse his stand, Bennett Also Firm This pressure, like the pres- sure upon the White House, comes not only from politicians who see the Russian trade as a possible aid to employment, but algo comes from a large number of important {industrialists and even from members of the Cabi- net. It is reported that in main essentials the Canadian and Am- erican attitude towards Russia is similar, particularly in that the government's chief executive In each « the principal agency of the government holding out steadfastly against full dealings with Russia. The situation in the Far East makes Canada doubly concerned about the United States and Rus- sia. The argument is constantly advanced at the State Depart- ment that=recognition of Russia by this country would be a strong neace measure at the present time, that it would cause Japan to put the brakes on in her Man- churian policy. And, since Can- ada has cooperated closely with Secretary Stimson In his Far Eastern policy, it fis belleved that a move of friendliness to Russia by this government would make almost sure Canada's re- versal of the Bennett policy. ---------------------- FEARED FOR LAND 50 WROTE KING Saskatchewan Farmer Will Not Lose Farm case Regina, Sask.--Oscar I. Den- ton wrote a letter to the King. He got what he wanted, but whether he got it because of his letter is another story. In any case, the letter passed through a good many official hands, Denton lives at Horton, Kas, but he owns land near Avonlea, Sask., which he feared losing because of tax arrears, On De- cember 15, last, he wrote to His Majesty King George, asking if something could not be done about it. Here is what happened to the letter: It was delivered at Bucks ingham Palace January 1. His Majesty's secretary answered it and also wrote to Lord Bess- borough Governor-General of Canada. The Governor-General wrote to the Under-Secretary- of-State. The latter wrote to the Lieutenant-Governor of Saskat- chewan, The Lieutenant-Gover- nor wrote to the executive coun- cil of Saskatchewan, which re. ferred the matter to the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs. Denton will not lose: his land. An official of the department has informed him of a special act of the Saskatchewan Legislature which prevents loss of title of persons in just his position des- pite tax arrears. He was also ads: vised of further protection he could obtain on application to the municipal council, BE Lk FEARLESS FOE OF HILITARISH Assassinated Jap. Premier Had Versatile Career For the second time within a doz- en years, one of the strongest and most fearless foes of bureaucracy and militarism in government in Japan has been slain by an assassin. The death of Premier Suyoshi (or Tsuyoshi) Inukai bears a marked similarity to the assiassination of Premier Takashi Hara, arch-foe of the militaristic politicians in 1921. A demented youth of 19, Kon- Ichi Nakaoka by name, was inspired to attack Hara with a knife at a railway station by the bitter recrim- inations of the opposition press, ac- cording to the Japanese- owned English paper, the Japan Times. Tara was head of the Seiyukai Party, as was Inukai, and like Inu- kai was a great political organizer. The death of that Premier cracked the party from end to end and it power crumbled gradually until 1924 when the few remaining nuclei burst apart. What the Seiyukai needed was a strong, trustworthy leadership. So Inukai was persuaded to draw back into the Seiyukai fold those who had strayed away. He was seo successful that in the crisis of 1929 he was clected to the presidency of the party, which was tantamount to the Premiership if the party came into power, The opportunity came in 1931, As two ministries of the loosely knit Minseito fell in rapid succession, much of the Minseito strength, which it must be recalled, had form- erly been Seiyukai, was attracted by Inukai. The Wakatsuki Cabinet fell and the only surviving elder statesman, Prince Saionji, whose advice always is sought by the Emperor, suggest- ed that Inukai try his hand at a Government, Inukai scorned coalition and from the newly-welded Seiyukai drew ev- ery Minister except War and Navy. He acomplished a sucecssful com- bination within 24 hours. Inukai was born in April, 1835, of prominent parents in the town of Okayama-Ken in the far south- western part of the main Japanese island of Ohondo. ; He spent his early youth in the exclusive private university, Kelo, in "| Tokio, and married the daughter of dn outstanding resident of the cap- ital. He was editor of the Hochi Shim- bun, larze Tokio newspaper in the days when the late Emperor Meiji was preparing to give the Japanese representative fovernment, He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1890 from his native Okayama-Ken prefecture and served in the House in that ca- pacity until the end. BANS USE OF WHISKEY BOTTLES Unique Judgment Handed Down From Osgoode Hall Albert Webb who carries on busi- ness in Windsor under the name of the Sapoline Co., was ordered by a judgment delivered by Mr. Justice H. T. Kelly at Osgoode Hall, Tor- onto, to refrain from using as con- tainers of his products bottles upon the glass of which is stamped or im- pressed the registered trade name of Hiram Walkers and Sons, Ltd, distillers. In adition the judgment. requires Webb forthwith to destroy or dc liver up to the distillery company all containers in POSSEssio bearing the distillery's trade mark, and to pay the distillery « $20 damages. Mr. Justice his mpan Kelly dismissed counterclaim by Web for damages for loss of business resulting from an imterim injunction that w ved upon him in October last and | that restrained him from bottles bearing the trade mark of | Hiram Walker and Sons, Ltd, The suit arose out of a complaint | by the distillery cor whiskey bottles stamped trade mark were being use tainers of a cleaning fluid. The use of old whisky bottles | "caused misapprel i ser using | hension in the public mind," says Mr. Justice Kel ley in his judgment. His Lordship grants th skey company an injunction restrainin® Webb from using bottles bearing their tradeniark, orders all such bot tles in Webb's possession to be de- | stroyed, and awards $20 damages. | Hiram Walker & Sons complained | that Webb's practice might lead the { public to suspect that their whiskey bleaching fluid called "Snowhite", was contaminated with Weblys | | paid on deposits-- subject to withdrawal by cheque.
