The Issue Must be Faced In three weeks time, the electors of Osh- awa will be faced with the election of the city council for 1933. In two weeks time, they will have to be ready to nominate for office those they desire to be candidates. In this there is a challenge to the people of this community, an issue which must be faced. We have every respect for the members of the 1932 city council. They have done the best they know how under very trying conditions. But, to put it frankly, and perhaps brutally, they have not handled the city's business in a manner calculated to inspire confidence. Individually, they are all good citizens. As men, they have fine qualities and are citizens who deserve credit for the hard work they have done and the long hours of service they have given. But conditions in the city of Oshawa today demand more than that in the men who are to guide its destinies for 1933. We believe that the members of the 1932 city council will be the first to admit that the tasks which they have had to face have been somewhat beyond them. It is no reflection on them to say that. But it does indicate that, if the difficulties of Oshawa have to be overcome, the 1933 city council must include at least some men of wide experience in business and financial affairs, men of outstanding ability for dealing with big problems in a big way. Again, let us be frank, and point out that men who have had no business experience of some kind or another, cannot be ex- pected to step in and manage a concern with a turnover of over one million dollars a year. That is what they are being ex- . pected to do and it is fair neither to the city nor to themselves. The issue must be faced. Oshawa needs, in its city council of 1933, a large sprink- ling of new blood. That is the general opinion as we find it throughout the city, and we agree whole-heartedly with those citizens who have that idea. And that new blood must be of the right type, must be men who will command the respect, not only of Oshawa, but with those outside in- stitutions and business organizations with which the city must deal in order to solve its financial problem. There are men of that type in Oshawa, but the difficulty is to convince them that they have a duty and a responsibility as citizens, to serve their community. This year, as never be- fore, steps must be taken, directed from whatever source may be best fitted to handle the problem, to make these citizens realize their duty to Oshawa, and secure them as candidates for a "Save-the-City" Council of 1933. That Last Effort The decision of the committee in charge of the Public Welfare Campaign to extend it until Monday, in order that the workers might make up for the handicaps of the two rainy days at the start, provides a last opportunity for those who have not yet made their contributions to the fund to do so. On Monday, the final figures for the campaign proper will be compiled, and the result of that compilation will tell whether or not Oshawa has done as well as expected. After all, although the objective was set at $25,000, this was done, not because it formed an estimate of the needs of welfare work for the year. Far from it. That sum was fixed, after serious consideration, be- cause the committee in charge, realizing that local conditions had grown worse rather than better in the last year, felt it was a fair objective to aim at. The needs of the welfare board, however, will be sev- eral times that figure before another year rolls around, and it would be a splendid thing if the objective could be exceeded by a very substantial amount, so as to make the financing of the city's welfare work more easily handled. That opportunity still exists by leaving the campaign open until Monday. It is hoped that those who have not yet given their share will take advantage of this last opportunity to do so, and that when the announcement is made on Monday of the final result, it will mark the crowning achievement of Oshawa's efforts on be- half of its needy families, Britain Will Pay The appeals of Great Britain to the United States for postponement of the war debt payment due on December 15 Have, as was expected, fallen on deaf ears. Uncle Sam has said that Britain must pay,--and Britain will pay. How she will pay is yet to be decided, but she has definitely under- taken to pay, and it will be done. Naturally, the refusal of the United States to postpone the war debt payment has caused great disappointment every- where--except in the United States, The only redeeming feature is that she holds out hope for a conference to discuss the whole question of war debts, possibly with the thought of some revision. But the sec- retary of state is very explicit in the ref- erence to the fact that this does not imply a willingness to cancel the debts. It is rather difficult to see what such a conference could accomplish with the United States Congress in its present frame of mind, To mention war debt can- cellation or revision to it is like waving a red rag in front of a bull. And unless there is a decided change of heart on the part of the members of this body, Britain will have to keep on paying. We are still confident, however, that change of heart will come, not because of any pressure from outside, but because the people of the United States will, in due. time, come to their senses, and will realize that their own salvation from econ- omic and business troubles lies in break- ing down the obstacles which stand in the way of world trade and commerce, and of these obstacles one of the greatest is the war debt burden. Thus, while the exchange of notes on the war debt question has brought no tangible result as yet, it has served a useful pur- pose in focussing world attention on one of the world's greatest problems, and has set people, even in the United States, to doing some serious thinking on whether Uncle Sam is doing the right thing by him. self and his people in demanding payment in full--and on the date due.

That should settle the question aecidedly for the benefit of Canada's ocean ports. Other £ditor's Comments THE EAST AND THE WEST : (Ie Soleil, Quebec) It is: the old , ..vinces of the East which founded supported and brought up the young provinces of the West. They furnished them with capital, with railways, even with a port of their own ear the North Pole, These new territories have been pam- pered more than the rest of the country. For the last fifteen years their representatives in the Ca- nadian Parliament have done as they felt inclined. For ed nto distincy groups, they held the balance of power and could upset any government they wished by raising their hand. ~ One had to listen to them or fall from power. Hence we had a host of costly measures, mainly financed by the senior provinces, who were unable to support this greedy infant any longer, with his appetite growing from year to year. SAVING AND SPENDING " ; (Le Nouvclliste, Three Rivers) The diminution in purchasing power is undoubt- edly one of the principal reasons for the depression which now prevails in every branch of trade and industry in Canada, If we could convince the public that it is necessary to spend more, addressing this advice to those particularly who have money and will not spend it through lack of confidence in the future, the general situation would improve. If we were to do this, trade would reccive a stimu- lant which is now lacking and the result would be increased employment, which in turn would create an .increase in purchasine pe. er.

Two of the swans were taken to warm winter-quarters two weeks ago. A third was chipped out of the ice in the lagoon, un- damaged. But the fourth, a regu- lar fresh-air, cold-shower-bath fiend, skated out to the centre and refused to accept the com- forts of civilization. That was the beginning of trouble for Patrolman 8. J. Pet- zel, To all appearances the swan, squatting quietly, was frozen in the ice. Actually, it was merely resting on top, with {ts feet tucked up in its feathers. Dozens of soft-hearted citi- zens gazed at the creature they thought was suffering and then turned stony, accusing glances at Patrolman Petzel. Several even called the humane society. Petzel had an explanation for all who would listen, but he had to recite it so many times, it left him glum. "Listen," he said, "that swan's all right. It came here from Alas- ka and is used to cold weather. It's not frozen in the fce, and can come ashore anytime it wants to. But I can't swim, wade or skate out and get it, and a swan Bs too fast to catch even with a oat." Late that night Petzel was still standing beside the lagoon, his voice weakening, his temper ruffled, and sympathetic (for the swan) citizens were still asking questions of the patient, perturh- ed, Patrolman Petzel, Gold Prospectors Attack World-Wide Depression Denver, Colo.--Scattered in many parts of the globe an army of men and women has been making a flank attack upon world-wide econ- omic disorder in a determined search for gold still hidden in carth"s treasure chest. "The days of old, the days of gold, the days of "49" have modern counterparts in manv places. While this concerted effort is bringing results in financial gain to many of the searchers, there is al- ways a chance that some fateful discovery may open up a new bon- anza to bring a rich flow into the arteries of trade and add impetus to widespread recovery. In Canada there have been seven new gold strikes since 1925, The past two vears have seen gold rushes also in Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, New Zealand and Africa. Depressions Relieved Big gold finds in the past--the startling uncovering of nueets near Sutter's Fort in California, which led to the great westward migration in 1849 and the years following; the aold rushes to Colorado in the late '50's, to the Black Hills in South Dakota in the '70's; the great gold whether you look at it from be- low sea level or from the top of another still higher mountain. The world has had a lot of de pressions before this one. None of them has yet put the human race out of business, This one will not. The sure way to the heights of prosperity, judging by the past, is to work hard all the way up the hill, only to go over the tcp and start down again, It also seems the sure way out of the depressions--hard work by most people all the way down grade and across the valley at the bot- tom to the up grade which leads to the heights of prosperity, be- yond which lies the next depres sion, Which, it seems to me, should show ug that what is, has been and will be again while the human race endures, And the whole up and down progression depends upon the activity of hu. man beings. Human activity has never yet 'been dormant, a8 far ag We can trace things, Have we one single reason for believing that human restlessness, upon which all pro- gress depends, has ceased {0 function?

Economists have traced recovery from many of the depres- sions through influx of new gold. Driven by urgent need to pan a fev. dollars worth of gold daily from creeks and worked-over gold fields, or lured by hopes of wealth, power and luxury to prospect in re- mote and unbeaten wilderness, hun- dreds of thousands of men -- and some women- have been engaged with pans, picks and sluice boxes. Many unemployed have received instructions in gold mining schools. Some have made zood strikes, many have made wages, and many have failed. Many abandoned workings have been reopened by operating companies, Results , of this concerted effort are attested by the increased flow nf gold into the United States mint While the total production of gold nthe world has increased by about 10 per cent, there has been a cor- responding increase in the United States Rich Strike in Quebec The most recent gold strike in Canada was reported November 7, at Lake Obaska in Tiblemont Township Quebec, northeast of the "ich Pascales and Louvicourt mines.
