Tresidder, rep- resentative. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15th, 1982. Up to the United States Great Britain and France have at last called for a showdown on the question of war debts owing to the United States. Un- willing to embarrass either candidate in the presidential election, thev held back until after the voting was over. Then, with Roosevelt elected as the next president, they sent their notes to the United States government, asking to be relieved of the payments which fall due on December 15, and for a complete discussion of the whole question of war debts. Such a discussion is long overdue. It should, in reality, have been a condition precedent to the action taken by the allied countries of Europe last June in scaling German reparations payments down to a mere shadow of the former totals. Before the allied nations of Europe took it upon themselves to elim- inate the payments owing to them by Ger- many, there should have been some assur- ance that the United States, in turn, would be willing to revise the debts owing to it by its war creditors: There was a rumor at that time that there was a secret, gen- tlemen's agreement with the United States on that point, but that can be ruled out of the picture, for a secret agreement made with the retiring administration could not bind the one which is to follow it. The action of Britain and France has placed the whole issue fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the United States, It is not a question of whether France or Britain can afford to pay these debts, It is a question of whether the world financial and economic situation is such that it would be able to withstand the huge trans- fers of gold necessary to the payments, transfers to be made which are imperative because of the shutting of the doors of the United States to the payment of war debts in goods. From its own standpoint, the United States can be perfectly selfish and yet completely cancel, or at least revise, thr war debt obligations. These war debts, and the restrictions on how they can 'be paid, are responsible for the stagnation which exists in United States trade and business today. They have dammed up the flow of goods across the ocean, and have halted the wheels of industry in United States factories. The onlv wav in which that country, then, can save itself in a business sense is by removing war debts entirely from the economic picture, and allowing the people of Europe to return to a condition favorable to the buying of the products of the North American con- tinent. One can never predict what the United States is going to do when it comes to in- ternational affairs. But it is safe to sug- gest that the relief asked for by Britain and France will be granted, and that there will be a speedy conference to re-adjust the whole war debts situation. Onlv in that way can hope of a world recovery be re stored. Only in that way can the channels of trade and commerce he cleared of the stumbling-blocks in the way. Only in that way can the United States hope to over- come the stagnation which is hampering its own financial recovery. Whatever is done will have to be done quickly, and President Hoover is to be con- . gratulated on asking President-elect Roose- velt to confer with him on the subject. The responsibility of deciding should not be placed entirely on a death-bed administra- tion. And, with Roosevelt in line to control the destinies of his country for the next four years, it is but right that he should have something to say about what its policy is going to be. So it is now directly up to the United States to lead the world out of chaos, to help it through the slough of despond, and if that country wishes to regain the re- spect of the rest of the world, and to take its place as a leader in fighting the world's battles, its only hope is to recognize the situation which exists, and make speedy arrangements for either the revision or eancellation of the inter-allied war debts.

Popularizing British Films For years there has been a steady stream of propaganda coming to Canada, urging the people of this country to give greater patronage to British motion picture films. For a time, owing to the intense competi- tion of the Hollywood product, this cam- paign seemed to be hopeless. -It was get- ting nowhere, and the average British picture failed to make much of an impres- sion in this country. It begins to look, however, as if the British film producers have realized that there is only one way in which their films can be popularized in this country, and that is on the basis of their quality as box office attractions. Having realized this, they are doing much more effective work by sending to this country an exceptionally high-class type of film, which is, by sheer merit, stealing the thunder of Hollywood and packing the erowds into the theatres, There have been several such films lately: The Edna Best and Herbert Mar- shall British productions have all been equal to the best that Hollywood could produce. "Sunshine Susie" had a phenom- enal run of success all over Ontario, and more recent British pictures, "The Ghost Train" and "Jack's the Boy" have further added to the growing popularity of films from the old country. These pictures, and others have proven that the British industry has learned its lesson, has learned that what cannot be accomplished by mere propaganda can be done by giving the public what it wants in the form of high-class entertainment. In story, in photography, in acting, the Bri. tish pictures are now more than holding their own with those of the United States, and so long as that is the case there will be no lack of support for them in this country. In fact, one might well anticipate a plea from the theatre-goers of Canada to "Give us more of them." Editorial Notes The Oshawa Chamber of Commerce has received a copy of an Empire Marketing Guide. The governments of the Empire have now opened the road, so the guide should' be very useful. It has not been as easy as was antici- pated, but Canada has reached the objec: tive in its National Loan. The Ukrainians of Oshawa have shown that they do not take second place to any other class in the community when it comes to a fitting observance of notable anniversaries, The hurricane which visited Cuba took a toll of over 2,500 lives. Canada is fortun- ate in that such visitations are unknown in this country. Those who criticize the Public Welfare Board seem to forget that there are two sides even to the relief story, that the ques tion of finding the money is just as im portant as the question of spending it. Disarmament in spirit is more effectit than disarmament in materials, says Rev A. D. Robb. But it is hard to get tha" message across to the whole world.

To distinguish friend from foe, to sight game at a distance was vital to 'maintain life, Today our lives are lived at short range. Concentrated use of eyesight ex- hausts the whole nervous sys- tem. Glasses are required to give relief and enable the eyes to car- ry on at their daily tasks. Many cases of harmful eye trouble and the foundation of an eye disease may be traced to ne- glected injury from these causes. Perhaps considered at the time only temporary discomfort, this discomfort is nature's warning that attentinn is required. Remember nothing is more precious than your eyesight; no temporary discomfort or eye af- tection, too slight to overlook, and that further annoyance, in- convenience and pain may be the price of neglect. The natural se- quence to neglect is excessive ir- ritation, and if allowed to con- tinue, may lead to serious inflam- mation, weakening of the tone of the eves, and leading to granula- tion, Opacities, ulcers, pterglum, ete.

Ans.--The speeded up mands for strains upon us are account of the de- cater efficiency; standards aised, but the eves neglect until the demands of our own discomfort or physi- cal ine are great enough to interfere (To be continued) Meloney Whatever the real situation or whatever the possibilities may be, there is no question about the state of mind and pocket-book of those thrown out of work by the Economy drive, The method d by the various political parties in appealing for the support the public were most interesting. Besides the use of airplanes by candidates and their workers, cnabling per- sonal touch with a great deal more of the electorate, the use of radio broddcasting was a great factor. Obviously, - the great advantages of broadcast- ing for propaganda purposes are those of the accessibility of the public and freedom from inter- ruption, although in all matters it is' found that the public reads its newspapers no less diligently, for, after all, it is the printed words that form the final and comparatively incontrovertible record. The real money in business is in getting volume sales, and the only way to produce profitable volume is by continuous newspa- per advertising, In times of depression is not the time to worrv so much about balancing budgets, It should be done in good. times when there ol nan PO YAO CONSERVATIVE LEADERS A Picture shows left to right, Rt.

Figure issued show- ing that the p ntage of peas- ants attracted to collective or state farms increased to 61.5 per- cent of the entire rural fopula- tion last summer, The percent- age reported at the end of 1931 was 54.7. These farms were reported to have cultivated 82.5 per cent. of the crop bearing land of the na- tion this year. On the remain- der of the land, private peasants have continued to resist govern- ment efforts to induce them to become members of the collec tive farms. Complete of collectivization is little ship.

The urban development has been centred mainly in new cities created at the scenes of indus- trial enterprises. In 1926,, at the time of the general census, there were only steppes and for- ground where those cities have gprung up. The city of Magnetogorsk, called tho "Gary" of Soviet Rus- sia, was credited with a popu'i- tion of more than 64,000 in the 1931 count and ultimately a great model community of 260,- planned there maximum employment to operate the great steel plant and its auxiliaries, in- cluding the power station and mines operated there. When work was begun'at Masg- netogopsk in July 1930, the spot was nothing but a barren steppé in the remote depths of Asiatic Russia, Stalingrad, another of these new industrial centres, is claimed to have increased in pop- ulation from 90,000 in 1924 to 204,000 in 1931. The city of Stalinsk is said t> have 46,000 inhabitants, It nas only been in existence a few years, Nizhny Novgorod, the famous trade centre and historic city of the middle ,ages on the Volga River which has been re- named Maxim Gorki in honor of the writer, is credited with a 20 per cent. increase in population in the past year as a result of new factories there. Yusovka, now known as Sta- lin and Cheliabinsky, ed to have made similar in- creas. The opening of the new power project at Dnieprostroy, intended to be the largest in the world, is expected to bring phe- nomenal growth to that new cily on the Dnieper River. Officials estimate that Lhe to- tal population of the Union increased 16,000,000 from 1926 to 1932 and that its popu- latlon now is about 163,000,000, A general census has been order- ed for 1933.
