Help for Home-Owners The deputation from the Central Rate- payers' Association which saw Premier Henry last week with reference to the plight of those citizens on relief who hap- pen to be listed as home-owners came back feeling optimistic that something would be done for them. We have already, in these columns, pointed to the apparent injustice which has been done to those citizens who have been trying to buy their homes, or who have an equity in their homes, but who have, by force of 'circumstances, been forced to accept city relief. Their taxes and their payments of principal and inter- ests have fallen into arrears, yet under the plan which was enunciated some time ago by the provincial government, there was no way in which they could participate in shelter relief. i The assurance given by the prime minis- ter that the government is not over-look- ing this phase of the shelter relief problem, but is giving it careful consideration, was . very timely. It does not say positively "that there will be action covering these cases, but a new spirit of hopefulness has been created, a spirit which will do much to dispel the anxiety and doubt which has taken hold of the citizens affected. : The former stand of the government Is hard to understand, so it is not surprising that, under pressure from all sides, it 1s reconsidering the position of those listed as home-owners. It is to be hoped that the result of this re-consideration will be made known soon, and that it will place the home-owners in exactly the position as the tenants and landlords of the city. Meighen's Views Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen has never been known to be an optimist. When leaders of the opposition in the House of Commons, he had a penchant for taking a gloomy view of things. Those who share his particular political faith may, of course, make the rejoinder that he had good reason to be a pessimist in these days. Be that as it may, his attitude towards things has always been rather analytical. He has never felt the urge to do any flat waving and shouting about good times, but rather the reverse. With a background of that kind behind him, it is interesting to note his present views. He is no longer the prophet of blue ruin. He is no longer pessimist that he used to be. He sees indications from all over Canada that conditions are better, and that there are signs of a general improve- ment in business. In a statement at Ot- tawa the other day, Mr. Meighen made the following review of conditions: "We surely have touched bottom in de- pression; indeed we are on the upgrade. Canada is doing much better for instance, in the sale of fruits that for several years, and the revenues of growers will show a substantial increase this fall. Reports from British Columbia and from the Annapolis Valley in the Maritimes, indicates that the apple trade is definitely better. The crops of grapes and peaches in the Niagara dis- trict are very heavy, and while the price is low, the revenues will show an increase. We are doing better, too, in eggs, butter and bacon. The textiles and boots and shoes manufacturers are encouraged by the upswing in business, while the retail trade generally shows improvement" Coming from a man like Mr. Meighen, these sentiments are worthy of attention. They are important because they indicate that the improvement is starting at the bottom, with the primary producers, and working upwards. That is what Canada needs to restore'business to something like what it was three or four years ago. If the position pointed to by Mr. Meighen can be maintained, all lines of business will reap the benefit, and there will be a much greater measure of recovery than is appar- ent even at the present time. The Air-Field Scheme The Dominion government has announc- ed a policy of constructing a chain of landing fields of aeroplanes, stretching right across the country, as a means of providing employment for workless men. The proposal is that these men be estab. lished in camps in the eleven military dis- tricts into which Canada is divided, and THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, sary levelling, grading, draining and other that they be put to work doing the neces- construction work incidental to the crea- tion of modern landing fields. There is merit in this idea. It is work which has an eye to the future. It is ex- pected that some 2,000 men will be em- ployed, and that in itself is a consideration, So far, however, there is one thing lacking, The government has said nothing about where these landing fields are to be located. There has been no announcement as to which towns and cities are to be included in the program, If memory serves correctly, there was, not so long ago, some agitation for a flying field at Oshawa, with another scheme for a joint airport to serve both Oshawa and Whitby. The economic wallop came before anything could be done about this project. But might not this be a good time to re- vive it, to place the claims of this district before the government department respon- sible, and use what pressure is available in an effort to have Oshawa or the Oshawa district included in the list to be supplied with landing fields for aircraft. We turn this suggestion over to the Chamber of Commerce and city council for what it is worth, believing that it merits some line of action. It is apparent that some towns or cities are to have air-fields provided for them. Why not Oshawa? Editorial Notes Congratulations to the Oshawa Dodgers, intermediate softball champions of Ontario. Oshawa has maintained its fine record of having had at least one provincial championship in sports each year for the last few years. Wheat exports are sharply increasing. That is one reason why quotations for the Canadian dollar in New York are also in- creasing. Instead of decreasing, as has been usual for the month of October each year, em- ployment statistics for Canada show that industrial employment in October increas- ed by 5,198 persons over September 1. That is a sign that industrial activity is really becoming greater. Pheasant shooting is to be allowed for two days in Durham county. That will be good news for the ardent hunters--but not so good for the pheasants. The federal minister has ordered an in- vestigation into fuel prices. Now we will learn whether there is anything behind the reports of a fuel combine to keep up prices. This is Young People's Week in Oshawa, Judging by the interest the young people are taking in church work, there is not much wrong with the present generation. More than 10,000,000 people are alive to- day in Europe because of President Hoover's great work in administering the relief sent from this country during the World War.--Mrs. Dolly Gann, sister of Vice-President Charles Curtis. | Other Editor's Comments EMPIRE TRADE AND CANADIAN PORTS (Halifax Herald) To what extent Empire trade moving under the new agreements is to be considered in terms of Empire traffic, and treated accordingly, is not dis- closed, and perhaps will not be disclosed until the agreements are before the Parliaments of Great Bri tain and the other Dominions. Canada, naturally, is vitally interested in this phase of the question, because this is the only part of the Empire now subjected to a heavy drain upon its economic vitality through the diversion of so much of its traffic over the transportation systems and through the ports of a non-Empire country. THE WELSH COAL RACKET (Toronto Telegram) Suspicion of the existence of a Welsh-U.S. coal combine is supported by the report of the arrival here this week of a cargo of Welsh coal laid down in Toronto at $7 a ton, but which will cost the con- sumer $15 a ton. The reason for the spread of $8 a ton between the price on the dock and the price in the consumer's bin requires explanation, BITS OF VERSE THE POET'S CORNER In the sweet mix of night and day Small gray fish of the sky Swim into the silver nets The amber clouds and rosc Seal up the sun, Turning 'The riot day to peace, the green to old Rose clouds and gray Return And the activities of' eve Begin -A, E.
