A Boon for the Children It will be good news for the children of Oshawa to learn that the Community Swimming Pool at Rotary Park is to be opened next week for the summer of 1932. Judging from many inquiries which were received at The Times' office, there was doubt in the minds of many people as to whether it would be operated this year: The announcement made regarding the plans of the Rotary Club, however, dispels these doubts, and makes it clear that the pool, with all that it means to the children, will again be available this summer. When they built this swimming pool, the Rotarians performed one of the finest pieces of community service that this city has ever known. To have a cool, safe swimming pond in the hot days of summer is a Godsend to hundreds of the children of Oshawa who are in homes which lack many of the normal conveniences of life. As a health-giving tonic little can equal the cool, refreshing plunge in the water in the dog days of July and August. One has only to recall the great crowds which used the pool last summer to realize how wel- come it will be again this year, and, with school over for most of the children, it will be good news that it is to be available next week. A Blot on Civilization In Chicago the other day a man identi- fied as a bank robber was allowed to go. free because the bank officials had been threatened by death with a machine gun if they prosecuted him. They had already identified him as the robber, but when the case came up for trial the state attorney asked that he be set free, because of the threats against the bank officials. The conversation between the judge and the attorney is worth recording, as it appears in news despatched. "¢q don't believe should stand there and confess he is not big enough to keep these men protected' the court said. 'I think Mr. Bere is hig -enomgh to take care of himself. "Not when he is faced with a machine gun, Your Honor,' the attorney replied." And following this conversation, the gangster, grinning widely, walked from the court room, a free man. This explains why there is so much law- lessness in certain United States cities. Gangsters and crooks are in control. Police authorities are helpless to give protection to law-abiding citizens. The law of the machine gun rules. What hope is there of enforcing law and order when men elected to enforce the law are frankly afraid to do so, because of the threat of the machine gun. The whole thing is a blot on civiliza- tion, and it is no wonder that crimes such as the murder of the Lindbergh baby are possible in such a country. the state's attorney A Pensions Inquiry ~The war veterans associations' are Justi- fied in their demand for an inquiry-into the charges that there have heen wholesale frauds in the granting of war pensions. "That statement, emanating from the de- partment of pensions and national health, is too serious to be allowed {o pass un- challenged. Every person who has had anything to do with pensions administra- tion knows that there are hundreds of cases in which claims for pension are made, and in which the applicant has no real entitlement. Those who are acting as pension officers for veterans' bodies find that much of their time is wasted in deal- ing with cases which have no shadow of right to pension. Thus it js that such claims-are said to be due to pensionitis. But that does not exactly touch the mat- ter of which complaint has been made. Through the actions of pension adjustment officers, hundreds of these cases are killed in their incipient stages, and never reach the pensions board. The present claim, however, is that pensions have actually been secured by fraud and have been paid. That is a serious charge, since it casts a reflection, not only on the veteran body, but also on the board of pension commis- sioners. If pensions have been granted illegally, then that board has to bear its es of the responsibility, along with the pension tribunals. We are inclined to oubt, however, that these cases have ac- tually slipped past the pensions board. So far as the veterans' associations are concerned, they are just as anxious as is the department that no pension claim that is not fair and just be allowed. They are severe in dealing with those who are mal- ingering in the hope of securing a pension, because they believe that such claims are partly responsible for the present conges- tion in pensions administration. But they have a fear that the present cry of "fraud" has been raised as a red herring to drag across the trail of departmental inefficiency in administering the pension act, so their demand is for an investigation into the charges. : Above all, they are anxious to protect the interests of those who have a just and legitimate claim for pension. Conditions are hard enough now for such cases, but if the bogey of "fraud" is to be held up before the people of Canada and the board of pension commissioners in particular, then it is going to be harder than ever. By all means /let the air be cleared, and cleared immediately. Editorial Notes The honor done to Rev. F. J. Maxwell by the congregation of St. Andrew's Church was well deserved. He has been a faithful pastor to his flock for the past nine years. Children who break bottles at the bath- ing beach by the lake are committing a very serious offence. There is no telling what damage might be done by broken glass. The Grimshaw case shows that there are sometimes three sides to a case. There are the two extremes, that. taken by the Tor- onto newspaper, and that taken by the city relief committee, with the true facts some- where between the two. The drowning of three girls on Lake On- tario on Wednesday once again emphasizes the danger of those unskilled in swimming venturing out on uncertain waters in such a frail craft. Their deaths should be a serious warning to others. Thomas Bradshaw, financial and busi- ness expert, says conditions are now de- finitely on the upgrade. Let us hope the ascent will quickly become more steep. From now on I will feed my prisoners the best food that I can secure.

Some day, perhaps, a Sen- ator will come forward with a plan for saving money by cutting down the Senate. Should this miraculous thing happen, then we can almost guarantee that it will have widespread support.

First the husband was charged with his responsibilities; then came the wife's turn. "You must love, honor, and obey your hushand," droned the parson, "and follow him wherever he goes."

P. (IN THE TORONTO STAR) What is the significance of the selection of Ottawa as the 1332 seat of the empire's conference? Mr. Benmett may reasonably be supposed to have an ambition (c place a new date line on a histo- ric event; and Canadians gener- ally may be credited with a de- sire to take a turn of entertain- ing at one of the family re-uni ons; perhaps with a bit of swans from the top rung of the ladder of constitutional autonomy reaci- ed by way of the Statute of West- minster, 1931, . One may think of those things and still go on to wonder if there is not a special significanc. for Ottawa's selection arising oui of John Bull's changed attitude to things economic. For plainly John Bull is not the man he used to be. He has aged since the reunion of 1930; and aged by years in general appearance ani gait since last autumn. Men age rapidly under these strenuous days when fortunes and compe- tencies vanish as if spelled away by black magic. And so do na- tions. John Bull probably lived a dec- ade in the month of September 1931, when it was found that England could not pay its way in gold. It is all very well after the event to say: "Just what we need- ed; things could not have turned out better." John Bull is tle world's best sportsman: he takes his losses with a smile and say: as runs the chorus in Derby Day, "So there, we musn't grumble." But everybody knows that n>- body likes to be poor; everybody likes to pay dues on the dot,and most of all a nation that for xen- erations has heen the banker of nations. When men the . world over wanted a phrase that meant something extraordinarily sound, they used to say "as good as the Bank of England." Last .Septea- ber the phrase lost a bit of its savor. Never numbered amoLg the new rich, John Bull is now one of the innumerable new poor Times again England had fac- ed crises, financial and otherwl.e, and somehow had muddlesd through, in fact, so consisten'ly that Englishmen had fallen iun'o the habit of regarding muddling as a native English art or per- haps, better, as Britain's special gift from the storehouse of th. gods. Most of us on this side of the Atlantic wondered but took things as we found them and eventually set down "muddling | through" --with Stilton chee: and roast beef---as something pe culiarly British and good. That day is gone. Englaud now seeks to see things throuzh by a coordination of the empire's varied economic forces.
