D. Tres!dder, rep- resentative) SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1932. Unemployment Insurance ' The discussion of National Unemploy- me a at Centre Street School "revealed how easy it is to theorize on a subject of this kind, and how difficult to put forward a practical scheme. It gave some idea of the problem which is being faced by: the federal government in its studies to 'devise a scheme which will fit in with con- ditions as they are in Canada. 'The speaker from Toronto was strong for a. scheme of non-contributory unemploy- ment insurance. His idea was that the state should pay all, levying a special tax upon the wealthy people of the country to meet the cost. That sounds fine in theory, but he seemed to forget that people with large incomes today are paying through the nose in income tax, are already contributing a very substantial share of their wealth to the national treasury. It is easy to send out a call to put a tax on the capitalists, but capital is required to keep the wheels of industry, and if capital is to be taxed out of existence, what is to become of in- dustry. His idea, too, is repugnant to, all of those who are opposed to anything which re- sembles a dole. That is exactly what a non-contributory scheme would mean, and the abuses to which a scheme of this kind . lends itself are so apparent that it cannot and will not be seriously considered. ' ..On the other hand, there are difficulties with any scheme which would-require con- tributions by the employer, the employee and the state. That is the ideal system to set up under normal conditions, when men are busily employed. But at present there are in Canada téns of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of men who have +had no steady employment for months. "They are unemployed now, therefore could not contribute, and thus this scheme, on the face of it, would debar from benefits the very people it would be devised to help. .. It is possible, of course, that some scheme might be organized whereby an initial fund could be created to take care of these cases. Even that has its dangers, for the experi- ence of Great Britain shows how easy it is for such a fund to get beyond control, and to become a drain on the national treasury. Thus there are many angles to this ques- tion, and from that standpoint it is worth discussing. The present government has committed itself to some scheme of unem- ployment insurance. What that scheme will be nobody knows. But certain it is that the task of framing something which will please everybody is almost impossible, and will tax the best brains of the government of Canada. Who Won The War? -~ Some years ago, the question "Who Won the War?" became a standing joke in the comic strips and on the vaudeville. Every- one knows the origin of that little phrase, but now little attention is paid to it. In the last few days, however, events at Lausanne have brought the question back to mind in a new sense, a serious sense. The concessions given to Germany make one ask, very seriously, "Who Won the War?" And, judging by the situation today, by the: position. of the Allies and the Ger- mans, one might well ask if Germany won the'war, in view of the manner in which the llied nations are endeavoring to-rehabili- tate that country. * "It is recognized that German rehabilita- tion is essential to the economic reconstruc- tion of Europe. Yet it does seem rather unfair that Germany should be relieved of practically all of her burdens, and should be absolved of guilt for the war, which was definitely placed upon her at the Versailles conference, while her creditors are com- pelled to pay the debts they owe to other countries. From a reparations total of $265,000,000,000, the Germans have forced the Allies to come down to a payment of $750,000,000, less than twenty per cent of the: total which the Allies had expected to collect. Meanwhile, they are burdening themselves with taxation in order to pay . their war debts, while the nation which was supposedly conquered sits back and enjoys" the. joke. : One cannot help wondering if Great Bri- tain, France, Italy and the other nations involved are not going too far in relieving 'Germany 'of war responsibilities, are involv- ing themselves in a situation in which Ger- many will gain, by peaceful means, all that she was supposed to have lost on the field | | of battle. One hesitates to recall the acri- monies of war. One hesitates, to, suggest that the firm hand of the conquered should be held over the head of Germany. Yet, in the final analysis, is not the situation which has developed leading to the day when Germany will be able to say, with a modicum of truth, "We Won the War." Another Appeal Once again we crave the indulgence of our readers to make another appeal on be- half of the Red Cross Cottage which is operating on the shores of Lake Ontario by the Red Cross Society. Funds for this valuable work for sick and under-nourished children are coming in so slowly that a serious situation is being created. It would be a great pity if this work had to be dis- continued from lack of support. The only sufferers would be the little children whose bodies and minds are being built up at this wonder cottage at Oshawa-on-the-Lake. That is sufficient reason, we believe, for again making an urgent appeal to the citi- zens of Oshawa who can help to do so with- out delay. Every contribution, be it large or small, will help, but it should be sent in promptly, so that the work which is going on at the present time may not be jeopar- dized. The Times will be pleased to receive con- tributions for this fund, and to acknow- ledge them in its columns as they are received. Editorial Notes J. D. Storie's generous gift to the Red Cross Cottage "will mean much to many Oshawa children this summer. Many more like it are needed. "The Mounties get their man" is still true today as in the pioneer days. Will we see you making the rounds of the city's beautiful gardens tomorrow ? Non-contributory unemployment insur- ance sounds too much like something for nothing. Ramsay MacDonald, more than ever, has established himself at Lausanne as one of the greatest statesmen in the long history of Great Britain. Now that the British premier has recon- ciled France and Germany, it might be well if he could go to Washington and reconcile ge United States to a cancellation of war ebts. ° Other Edvear's Comment | WE FORFEIT OUR ADVANTAGE (Stratford Beacon-Herald) ~ For some days there has been a Bread-Making Congress going on in Rome: it is an international affair, and any nation is at liberty to put its flour to the test. Canadian flour has done loaves were made in which Canadian flour was mixed with Italian, As the proportion of Canadian flour was increased the quality and size of the loaves did the same. The loaf made from 100 per cent Canadian flour was twice the size of the loaf made from Italian flour, There is quality in Canadian flour, but unfortun- ately we have never made much use of it. We produce a great deal of the wheat from which the finest flour in the world is made, and yet we sell that wheat to other nations in order that they can mix it with their inferior wheat and thus produce a flour which can compete with that made 1n Canada from Canadian wheat. : Perhaps there is no way in which this could be avoided, and vet it is apparent that we have not been using the unique quality of our Canadian wheat to give to our flour any advantage in the markets of the world.

Comments on this column should be addressed to "The Town Crier," in care of The Oshawa Daily Times.) The author of this column hates (sic) to say, "I told you 80," but at last Monday's meel- ing of the City Council there was an excellent example of just what the Town Crier has been harping against for the last twelve months. The whole City Council was engaged in a discus- sion as to just what particular civic official would occupy this office, and what official would occupy that. Such a waste time, Is that what the city elects its aldermen for? Has the chair- man of the property committee no authority to say what should be done without reference to the whole council? If the council spends all its time on such petti- fogging little matters it is no wonder that they find it neces- sary to hold meetings nearly every night. * * »- The Town Crier has received a large number of letters during the past week not only congratu- lating him on the anniversary of his birth but also saying many pleasant things about what ay- pears in this column from week to week. The majority of the people who have taken the trouble to write tell the author of this column that they fall far | on | of agreeing with him subjects but nevertheless they would not like to see this column discontinued. As one lady put the case, *'1 short many turn to your column on a Sat- urday just to see what going to say next."

Royal Visit Was Costly' And City Went Bankrupt Leicester, Eng. -- This city, with a population of more than 250,000 people, recently held an Industrial Exhibition and His- torical Pageant in furtherance of its claims as a great commercial and manufacturing centre. Lei- cester, however, one of the most prosperous cities in Great Brit- ain, boasts that it is prepared to clothe the people of the world from head to foot. It was: a bankrupt town 300 years ago. This umhappy state of affairs was due to the tow nepending $1,- 810 in entertaining the family of King James I. while journeying betwem London and Edinburgh in 1603. On that occasion Princess Eli- zabeth--the 14-year-old daugh- ter of James 1.--was presented with two gallons of claret, two gallons of white wine, one gal- lon of red wine and 10 pounds of sugar. Her brother and the Queen were given loving cups costing $115 while bed linen and other necessities were borrowed from leading citizens. Unfortunately the Royal party departed with the horrowed goods and a man was paid to chase them on a horse hired for 24 cents but the attendants demand- ed more money before handing over the goods and so the cost of the Royal visit exceeded $1,~ 500 and Leicester became bank- rupt, a ARCHIVIST TELLS OF DANVILLE DOOHED ARMADA Professor D. C. Harvey Would Erect Monument To French Admiral Halifax N.S.--Nova Scotia can- not have its Wolfe and Montcalm monument but it should he eon- abled to make a similar gesture through the erection of a monu- ment to Duc d'Anville, luckless French high admiral whose body was found recently in the ruins of the royal chapel at Louisburg, in the opinion of Professor D. C. Harvey, Dominion Archivist at Halifax. Following the rediscovery of the body, Professor Harvey re- called some of the historical facts in connection with the distin- guished Frenchman and the dis- aster which overtook the fleet he brought across the Atlantic to re- capture Louisburg. His story follows: The rediscovery of Duc d'An- ville"s remains during the restor- ation work that is being done at Louisburg by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada will no doubt send many readers back to Parkman's "A Half Cen- tury of Conflict" for the graphic story of that luckless expedition which was sent out by France in 1746 to recapture Louisburg and Nova 'Scotia and carry terror to New England. Already a monu- ment marks the spot near which D'Anville's fleet lay during Sep- tember and October of that year and where more than 1,100 of his soldiers and sailors died of scurvey and dysentery. As ad- miral of a fleet that consisted of eleven ships of tle line, twenty frigates, and thirty-four trans- ports and fireships, sixty-five in all with 3,150 veteran troops nn board, he had set out with high hopes and far-reaching aims; bu! his luck deserted him when he had escaped the British fleet Buffeted by winds and waves, dis- persed and in part wrecked off Sable Island, less than half his fleet and transports reached Che- bucto Harbor. Here scurvy aud plague attacked his men he him- self died of apoplexy, his vice-ad- miral d'Estournel, died of his own hand and La Jonquiere the future governor of Canada had to face the ordeal of restoring the morale of his forces. The latter tried to retrieve his fortunes by taking at least Annapolis Royal but meeting with further disaster at Cape Sable he finally led a remnant of the armada back to France. In the hurry and suffering of the moment d'Anville had to be buried without ceremony on George's Island, but after Hali- fax had been founded and Louis- burg had been given back to France, his remains were disin- terred, carried in the French ship Le Grand St. Esprit to Louisburg and there buried with due honois at the foot of the high altar in the chapel of the citadel; beside two former governors of Ille Royale, who had died on du'r. D'Anville has thus been twice buried but now, 187 years aftor his death, this storm-tossed mari- ner is destined to be buried onca more: for now that his remains have been positively identified by Senator McLennan, the historian of Louisburg, he should be rein- terred where he lies, in the heart of Louisburg, which his eyes nev- er saw but the conquest of which was the chief object of his adven- | ture. Here, too a fitting memorial should be erected to comemorate the efforts of a brave and cultv- red gentleman, who in the words of a contemporary "had borne the disasters of the voyage with the utmost fortitude and serenity--"" qualities of which Canadian peo- ple both French and British have had a goodly legacy. Nova Scotia cannot have its Wolfe or Montcalm monument but it should be enabled to make a similar gesture, through Lhe erection of a monument to a brave but unfortunate naval offi- cer, who"'preserved in that severe gervice a taste for letters and an elegance of manners which char- acterize his illustrious family." His full name was Nicolas ae la Rochefoucauld, Duc d'Anville. The two coffins found beside that of d'Anville are probably those of the two governors, For- ant and Duquesnal, who were buried there in 1740 and 1744 respectively. Isaac louis de Forant was ap- pointed governor of Ils Royale April 1, 1739. He arrived at Louisburg Sept. 10, 1739 and died of pneumonia May 10, 174C. He was a brave and capable gov- ernor whose death was a severe loss to the cause of France. Oue hundred and ninety-three years ago, at the instance of Bigot, who thought highly of his ability and insisted that his position as gov- ernor entitled him to the unusual honor, Forant was buried at the foot of the altar. Jean Baptiste Prevot Duques- nal, who was also buried 'thers, was an old man in the service and had lost a leg for King Louis. He was appointed governor on Sept. 1, 1740, arrived Nov, 2, and died Oct. 9, 1744, just in time to be spared the pain of surrendor- ing his fortress to the New Eng- landers and thus make necessary the unfortunate expedition of d'Anville, _ '"The teacher was telling us to- day about some sea creatures which belong to the lowest stages of development, I have forgotten their names."

Sev- eral thousands of years ago some observant person noticed that 2 certain little insect had develo- ped the habit of hoarding to a remarkable degree and this per. son like many of today consider- ed the principle a bad one, there- fore set about to discover wayz and means whereby the thrif:y one could be made to disgorge at least a part of her savings, How to get it was the question, for it was found that the little insect was just as ready' to fight for what she had gathered as she was ready to work for it and the res- ults were painful to the plunder- er. The person therefore, deci ded that becallse the insect re- fused to give up her stores peacefully she must dip and die she did over the sulphur pit. With the worker dead the pre- cess of robbing was easy but it was soon realized that to kill the worker in order to get her stores would soon result in no more stores to rob, but human cunning soon overcame this difficulty by devising a method whereby the stores could be obtained without the owners knowledge. Bees are encouraged to store tneir nomney in boxes (supers) above the chamber in which tliey rear their young and when these boxes are filled the beekeeper slips .a thin board fitted with a bee escape be- neath them. The bees on their way out to gather more honey, pass through the bee escape but cannot return, therefore in a few hours the box of honey may be removed without the bees kuow- ing' it and an empty one put in its place to be refilled. Bee es- capes are used in all of the Ex- perimental Farm Apiaries as the best and least painful method of taking from the bees the fruits of their labous, Bee escapes, there- fore, should be included in the equipment of every apiary.
