Enforcing Regulations The civic authorities, it is reported, are communicating with the police commission with a view to stricter enforcement of the regulations which prohibit an automobile passing a standing street car. It might be well if the commission took under review the whole question of enforcement of the traffic regulations in Oshawa. Without making themselves obnoxious, the authorities might well tighten up greatly on enforcing certain laws regard- ing 'traffi¢. Any day, cars can be seen in Oshawa parked in probihited areas, park- ed on the wrong side of the street, parked two deep, with the outer car almost in the middle of the street, cars driven at night with one headlight, and so one could go on. . 'One can understand that the police do not wish to be unduly hard on motorists. They have exercised considerable patience with drivers who have been guilty of min- or infractions of the law. That their atti- tude has been one of forbearance is borne out by the lack of prosecutions for of- 'fences of this character. They have adopt- ed a policy of giving generous warnings, rather than bringing drivers into police court. "That attitude, however, can go too far, and. our observation leads us to the con- clusion that there are many motorists who take advantage of the latitude allowed them by the police, and break the laws without giving the matter much thought. Traffic laws are designed primarily to promote the safety of the public, and with that in mind it would not do any harm to apply them a little more strictly. The Better Way ~The world conference on disarmament is threatened with disruption because of the attitude of Germany in demanding the right to increase her armed forces on land, sea and in the air. She refuses to take part _in the conference unless granted the right to do this, and a disarmament conference "with one of the great powers absent is as useless as "Hamlet" without the prince. "In spite of what has been said about Germany's attitude towards the Treaty of Versailles which limits her armaments, there is some justification for her present position. In that treaty, the great powers on the allied side pledged themselves to scale down their armaments also, but so far, there has been little real progress in this direction. True, there have been naval disarmament agreements, and Britain has led-the way in practical disarmament, but, nevertheless, the goal set in the treaty of Versailles is far from being reached. Germany's attitude, however, is not going to help the world very much. There is a much better way. We believe Germany would be satisfied if the other nations did what they promised to do at Versailles, and that is, scale down their own arma- ments to a point comparable with those allowed to Germany. 'After all, the need for heavy armaments only exists when possible rival countries are also heavily armed. If all disarmed, there would be an equality all around. If all the nations of Europe agreed to bring their armaments down to approximately the present level of Germany, then that country would have no complaint, would have no need to build up a larger army, navy or air force. That is the better way out, and the way which should commend itself most heartily to those nations which are genuinely de- sirous to eliminating the burden of main- taining large armies, navies and air forces, A Contrast in Demands The National Convention of the Ameri- *an Legion, by an overwhelming vote, has decided to demand immediate payment of the .bonus certificates held by United States war veterans. To meet this demand, he . United States would have to pay out approximately two'and a quarter billion do lars, and, ag President Hoover pointed out in: advance, a payment of this amount might ruin the country, or at least post- sone indefinitely its economic recovery. The reply of the American Legion to Hoover's statement, made before the con- vention, was that they were not concerned about that. They were not interested in the ratepayers, but only in what they wanted for themselves. In sharp contrast to this is the attitude 'a practical kind, an of the official bodies representing the Canadian war veterans. They are ask- ing not one cent for those who a not suf- fer disability for war services, while the United States bonus would apply to all en- listed men, regardless of where they saw service. The sole concern of the Canadian veterans is for the man who hak suffered disability as a result of his service to his country, whose earning power has been impaired by that service, and who is un- able to take care of his family as it should be taken care of, because of injuries re- ceived on service. a : That seems to be a just claim, and one which would readily be supported by the people of Canada. The Canadian veterans, however, go further, for they say, in sharp contrast to the attitude of the American Legion, that they "are not asking for any- thing which will add in any material way to the burdens now being borne by the people of Canada." That is patriotism of shows that Canada will not have to face any unreasonable de- mands such as the American Legion is now making to the government of its country. Editorial Notes Oshawa must have been a good old town when an old resident comes all the way from Michigan just to spend his 64th birthday in the place where he was born. Oshawa's first settlers have gone north. May they meet with success in their new field of endeavour, Japan's grab of Manchuria has in it all the material that is required for a first- class international row. Alberta farmers are holding back their wheat in the hope of better prices. We hope they will not have the same mis- fortune as the wheat pool did when it tried that three years ago. A car bought for three dollars got its owner into trouble in police court. But what could be expected from a vehicle of that kind. Judging from the disinclination of the great nations to disarm, it looks as if they expected to have to fight somebody.

But we ought to be on our guard against a certain ir- regular activity of the New York Stock Exchange.

How- ever, better late than never Tc sum up what "J.D.M." said in his last letter it is logical to assume that when the delegates to the Im perial Conference took a trip over the St. Lawrence rapids on a Sun- day they were carrying out "works of necessity or mercy'. "J.D.M." has repeatedly said, and directly in ferred, that the Horticultural So- ciety "apparently excluded the house and worship of God" (to quote his own words) when they organized visits to local wardens on a Sunday, With this the Town Crier flatly disagrees. There is the whole argu..ient in a nutshell. When a man, woman or child views a beautiful garden, during the com- parative quict of a city Sunday, that same man, woman, or child cannot help but obtain a closer re- lationship with God. Does God only dwell in churches built by man? Cannot One see God, and worship God, in the beauty of a flower ? There is, apparently, a very wide chasm between the outlook of "J.D.M." and the Town Crier re- garding things Godlike. The in- ference contained in "J.D.M.'s" last letter that the author of this col- umn "thinks it desirable to neglect the church" must, however, meet with a direct denial The Town Crier attends public worship an average of at least fifty-two Sun- days in the year. Last Sunday, toi example, he was in attendance at no fewer than three services but nevertheless he found time to drive out 'into the country and also (shame upon him) cut the grass in his own backyard.
