Is the Delay Deliberate ? The work of this year's council has been remankable for the policy of dilly-dallying and delay in connection with putting re- lief work in Oshawa on a proper basis. Away back in April, a meeting of repre- sentative citizens was appointed to discuss the local situation. Out of that meet- ing there came the Citizens' Advisory Relief Committee. On June that committee recommended to the city council that a central emergency relief organiza- tion be formed. Now, on September 23, that body has not yet started to function. True, the council, nearly two weeks ago, appointed a Public Welfare Board as a central emergency relief organization. But there has been no hurry to call that body together. Mayor Hawkes finally took the bull by the horns and called a meeting for next Monday, but that is as far as the matter has gone. Meanwhile, pressing pro- blems have been piling up, problems rela- tive to the provision of shelter, water and light for families in distress. It looks as if all this delay has been de- liberately planned. Perhaps the council wished to postpone as long as it could the day when it would have to make provision for the rent of those threatened with the loss of their homes. We do know that in othér communities provision has already been made for rent payments, and pay- ments have already been issued. But not in Oshawa--except in a few isolated cases of emergency. Knowing that the problem is a serious one, it might have been expect- ed that the council would do its utmost to expedite a solution. Instead of that there have been delays and dallyings, the making of excuses for inaction, until the citizens of Oshawa who are personally concerned, namely, the families in distress and the owners of homes occupied by them, have become convinced that this is all being done for a purpose,--that purpose to put- ting off the day of reckoning az long as possible. Now the situation must be faced. This problem must be settled soon, and with the generous offer of the government to pro- vide 80 per cent of the cost, there should be no further delays. If there are, the council cannot escape the responsibility for having waited so long before doing any- thing, and the day of reckoning will then be, not the day when the first payments of rent are made, but the first Monday in January, when the electors of Oshawa go to the polls to cast their ballots. ~ [5 Prospects For Wheat The Dominion Bureau of Statistics deals with figures and facts. It is not concerned with politics or political opinions. There- fore its latest report on the wheat situa- tion in Canada is decidedly interesting, and very hopeful. In its review, it says: "The present crop year with Canada occupying a favorable export position-- undoubtedly the best by the Dominion since 1928. The Canadian position at the present time is largely due to two factors, lack of foreign competition ands price levels on a sound export basis." This assertion is backed up by figures showing that in the seven week ending September 15 exports of Canadian wheat amounted to 25,000,000 bushels, as com- pared with 16,000,000 bushels for the same period last year. The leading Canadian ports all showed larger export clearances during the present crop year,, compared with last year. This means, of course, that Canada's sales of wheat to other countries are grow- ing. Several factors have made this possi- ble. Stocks in the Argentine and Australia are unusually small, the 1932 production in the United States is 179,000,000 bushels less than last year, Russia has no surplus wheat to export, and there is a very much reduced production in the Danube basin of Europe. All of these factors are helping to create good prospects for a market for Canadian wheat. In due time, they will have a beneficial effect on prices, for every- thing points to an increase in the export price level. By its bald recital of facts and figures, then, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics is pointing the way to better times for this country. We have recently cited the opin- fons of several prominent men in support of this contention, but the proof which commences position held comes from official sources, in the form of figures, is even more re-assuring than statements made in after-dinner speeches, and carries a great deal more weight. With Canada already far ahead of last year's wheat export totals, we can look forward with renewed confidence to that return of good times which must inevitably follow in the wake of the improved wheat situation. ~ Coming Closer Home The Mail and Empire the other day pointed an accusing finger at the Manitoba government because of the defalcations of university trust funds. . Yesterday, in screaming headlines, it announced defalca- tions by a clerk in the employ of the On- tario government, and went on to say that these defalcations had been going on for a number of years. Will the Mail and Empire mow point its finger of scorn at Premier Henry and his colleagues for these defalcations in their own house? Editorial Notes Mayor Hawkes acted wisely in jumping into the breach and calling a meeting of the Public Welfare Board. Too much time has already been lost in getting that body into action. Autumn is now supposed to be here, but summer is loath to depart. to- be a real war on in Both 'sides are claiming There seems South America. victories. The weather man says cooler weather is coming." But we can get along quite nicely with the weather we have had for the last week or two, John A. Machray was given seven years in the penitentiary for a theft of over one million dollars of trust funds. Many a man has been given twice as long for steal- ing one-hundredth of that amount. Quebec Conservatives are hunting for a new leader. But with Taschereau on the other side, is that necessary? It begins to lgok as if Gandhi's threat to starve was only a magnificent gesture after all.

Five minutes later the stationmaster again visited the oil shed to see how his new assistant was getting on, and was sur- prised to find the new hand emptying little drops of oil out of each can onto the floor. "Good gracious man," he cried, "whatever are vou doing #" Mike looked up at the stationmaster.
