A Welcome Announcement The statement made by H. A. Brown, vice-president and general manager of General Motors of Canada, Limited, with reference to the increasing of the force of workers at that plant is good news for "many families in Oshawa. During the last month or so, there has been a gradual increase in the number of men employed at the factory, but the news that this force is to be increased by about 600 more men in the next ten days will bring hope to many hearts, and will make the winter much brighter for just that number of families. It is reassuring, too, to learn that only the former Oshawa employees of the com- pany are being considered at the present time. The reports published in the Tor- onto and other newspapers, blazoning the news that hundreds of men were being taken back to work, was ill-advised, since it might easily lead to an influx of unem- ployed men from other centres to Oshawa, where they would find they had made their journey in vain. A Hamilton newspaper, for instance, played up this story with a double column spread, while the Montreal Star featured a story that 1,000 men were going back to work in Oshawa. Optimistic news items are welcomed these days, but nevertheless, the unem- ployed men of Oshawa must feel that their chances of securing employment should not be jeopardized by practically inviting out- giders to come 'here looking for work. From this standpoint, the announcement made by the company that only its old employees will be considered was timely. It is to be hoped that the addition to the working force at General: Motors will not stop with the 600 men being taken back to work-within the next ten days, but that the sales will be of such volume that production schedules will, ere long, demand an even larger staff, so that be- fore spring comes around, there will be a very substantial reduction in the number of unemployed men in the city. Relief Investigations and Prosecutions The action of the Public Welfare Board fn instituting a thorough system of inves- tigation into all cases of relief in Oshawa * will be welcomed by a large body of citi- zens. It is admitted quite frankly that, owing to the tremendous increase in the relief lists, without any corresponding addition in the investigating staff, this work could not be done in a satisfactory way. The board, however, has remedied this to some extent, and already the work "of the investigators is revealing apparent abuses which will cut down materially the costs of relief. While public opinion is all in favor of seeing that every deserving family is cared | for by the Welfare Board, it is just as strongly inclined to the belief that no leniency be shown where abuses are proven to exist. The decision of the board to order prosecution in police court in all such cases will therefore be strongly sup- ported by the citizens generally. Prosecution in every case in which it is justified by thorough investigation is the only course which the board can pursue. This is particularly true in cases in which earnings suilicient to maintain the family have been concealed from the board's offi- cials, and in which false statements have heen sworn to in the affadavits taken by all men who are on the relief lists. There should be no half measures in cases of his kind. Fraudulent securing of relief pt the expense of the ratepayers is a thing which cannot be condoned, and it is only by immediate prosecution of such cases hat a stop will be put to abuses. This is the course which the welfare board has decided to follow. The fact that his decision has been made will be reassur- g to those citizens who have had mis- ivings as to the bona fides: of many of he cases on relief, as there is now a defin- e insurance that a close investigation is ping made, and that where drastic action warranted, that action is to be taken.

May the figures for Decem- er and the months to follow leave ober's record far behind, How Europe Could Pay People are apt to lose sight of the real reason - behind the British desire for a postponement of war debts to the United States. The old country has no wish to default on its obligations. Its high sense of national honor stands in the way of that solution to its difficulty. But it should not be forgotten that if Britain could collect the war debts owing to her by other countries, there would be no difficulty in meeting the payments due to the United States. That seems to be the crux of the situa- tion. The nations of Europe have naively shirked their obligations to Britain, Russia wiped the slate clean fifteen years ago by simply repudiating all war debts be te Czarist regime, and at that one stroke Great Britain lost a sum nearly equal to that which she owes to the United States. Germany, by skilful schemeing, has been 'able to slip out from under her burden of reparations, leaving Great Britain short of the money which it was expected would meet the obligation to the United States. And the other nations of Europe have been able to make agreements which enabled them to forget the huge amounts lent to them by Great Britain. So, with her debtors leaving her high and dry, Britain is on the horns of a dilemna. Yet, if they could be made to see reason; if they would but listen to the voice of public opinion, there is a way in which all of the debtor nations could meet their obligations to the United States. That way is by disarmament. Let them unite on a policy of getting rid of their arma- ments of war, on which they are spending far more than it would take to meet all the war obligations. Instead of wasting billions of dollars on their armies and navies, let them use that money to meet their obligations. If they did that, it is likely that they would find the United States more willing to make concessions, which would turn that vast amount of money into the regular channels of trade and commerce, That is the real solution to the war debts problem. That is the solution which we believe must ultimately be found. But apparently the world will have to struggle along in the economic and financial dark- ness for a considerable period vet before the nations come to their senses sufficient- ly to take the 'easy road to economic stability. : Editorial Notes Let's See It Through.
