THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1940 PAGE THREE BIGGER NAVY FOR DOMINION IS PROMISED 2 BRING TOTALTO 255 SHIPS BY 1942 NAVY MINISTER TELLS HOUSE MEMBERS C.CF. Member Scores Heads of Industries, Claims Some of Them Nazi-Minded SEES RIFT COMING Navy Minister Says Can- ada Putting Forth Best Efforts in All Branches By CARL REINKE Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Nov. 20 (CP)--A Cana- dian naval establishment sufficient to meet Canada's obligtaions as a member of the British Common. wealth of Nations and as a "friend and ally" of the United States is planned by the government. Such a navy, of Canadian-built ships manned by Canadian-trained personnel, was pictured to the House of Commons yesterday by Navy Minister Macdonald as a prospect of the near future, As the major stéps towards that end, Mr. Macdonald announced: Addition of 100.ships to the pres- ent 155 ships in Canada's navy and addition of 10,000 personnel to the present 13,000 men, by the spring of 1942. Early re-establishment of a Cana- dian Naval College, similar to the one discontinued in 1922, Development of Canada's ship- building industry for the building of destroyers for the first time in Can. ade "and perhaps cruisers as well." The assistance of skilled men from admiralty dockyards for this pur- pose already has been asked. Given Ovation Mr. Macdonald's report to the House on the progress of Canada's naval forces was his first speech since he was elected by acclamation in a Kingston city by-election last August, and he was greeted by an ovation as he rose. The report itself drew another ovation at its end for its comprehensiveness, brevity and polish, Today, Munitions Minister Howe will describe the activities of his de- partment when he continues the throne speech debate. Mr. Howe is expected to announce the setting up of a priority committee to supervise Canada's industrial war effort. One of the other speakers at yes- terday's sitting was Angus MacInnis (C.CF. Vancouver East). He advised Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King to review without de- lay some of the appointments made cc the war began to many of the war boards, "particularly to the ap. pointments made to the former mu- nitions and supply board, most of which have since been taken into the Department of Munitions and Supply. "I want to say most emphatically that at this moment there are men in influential positions who should be retired quickly," Mr. MacInnis said. "I am not denying that they may know a great deal about business and industry but they know noth- ing about democracy. "Because they know nothing at all about democracy there is liable to be trouble in this country before very long. It may be better to have a little dislocation now than a great upheaval later on." Scores Industry Heads At another point in his speech, Mr. MacInnis said: "All the Nazi- minded people are not in Germany. Many of them can be found at the head of Canadian ingusiries. I am afraid that a few can be found around the Department of Muni- tions and Supply." In modern warfare the morale and temper of the industrial work- ers was equal in importance to the morale of the soldiers, he contend- ed. Relations between employers and workers in Canada were "not good in Canada today and are daily be- coming worse." The worker felt the war contract or was making undue profit out of his labor and the distress .of the country and felt he was being ig- nored by the government, Mr. Mac- Innis said. "He feels the government is work- ing hand in hand with the employ- ers to prevent his having a say as to the terms upon which he will sell his labor ... "Steps should be taken at once to remedy this condition if we are not to have unrest very shortly which will reach greater proportions than the unrest at the end of the last War. ... "Employers should be told that the people of Canada pay for these contracts, that these contracts are the result of the determination of the oeople of this country to destroy Hitlerism, but that in doing so we are not going to allow embryo Hit- lers to develop among us." He urged revision of the proced- ure in reviewing internment cases to guarantee that innozent persons were not held. Censors Too Censorious J. G. Diefenbaker (Con. Lake Contre) disagreed with those who claim democratic rights are being lost today, although he sald some are being suspended. In wartime there haa to be a degree of censor- ship although in many instances the press was "subject to too cen- sorious g censorship." He questioned whether the Cana- dian Broadcasting Corporation had become q "party vehicle" and urged a complete investigation of its ad- ministration. Because Britain had to have an export market if she were to con- tinue buying war matenals. he pro- posed expansion of the Canadian market for British goods. British exports last July were 22.7 per cent below those of the previous year and British imports in the same month were down 112 per cent, he said, and "Britain cannot continue her maximum war effort unless all parts of the Empire increase their purchases from her." A "Buy-British" campaign need not hurt Canadian trade. In the last four years British exports to Canada in many lines had dropped while Japan's exports to Canada had increased. He sharply criticized Agriculture Minister Gardiner for not laying down some wheat policy in his speech last week. Instead, Mr. Gardiner had only voiced a hope that the wheat situation would solve itself in the next five years. Tom Reid (Lib, Nex Westmin- ster) proposed immediate erection of a short-wave broadcasting sta- tion as a powerful weapon for counteracting German propaganda which was being pourea forth con- tinually in 20 languages In his naval review, Mr. Mas- donald described the varied duties of the Canadian navy, and said 3,500 ships had left Canada with 21,000,000 tons of cargo since the war began because the British and Canadian navies kept the shipping routes open. In announcing the addition of 100 ships of various sizes by March, 1942, the ministe: said this signi- fied two things: That Canada was determined to put forth her fullest effort at sea, no less than on land and in the alr, and that Canada had to have a navy sufficient to fulfil her obligations and adequate to the needs of a great trading na- tion, Must Assume Share Canada long had enjoyed the sheltering protection of the British navy, never having had a navy of her own commensurate with her trading position. » "I believe that Canadian pride, Canadian dignity, Canadian con- sciousness of present greatness, Ca- nadian hope for increased stature among the nations of the world, all demand that we should assume our proper share of the burden of naval service hitherto borne so largely by the motherland," Mr Macdonald said. Canada could not have in the near future a navy comparable to that of Britain or any one of sev- eral other great powers, but "in common sense and in honor" Can- ada had to build a navy not un- worthy of Canada and her obliga- tions to the Commonwealth and her close association with the United States in the defence of this continent. The naval college would be an essential part of this development, devoted exclusively to training nav- al men in wartime at least. Wheth- er it might be used 'n peacetime partly for training men for the merchant marine would have to be decided. At the same time, he sald young Canadians who had received naval training in England ware "in the very heart of the world's naval life," and he hoped that link between Britain and Canada "will always continue." ' The minister stated that on the whole the program of building ships for the Canadian navy was well ahead of schedule. which re- flected great credit on the ship- builders of Canada. Underwriters Plan To Hear Hon. Mr. F erguson The members of the Oshawa Life Underwriters' Association have been asked to meet in their regular weekly session at 7 p.m. on Friday evening, instead of at noon as usual, the president Charles Eadie indicated today. The members of the association have been invited to attend the opening meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Fri- day evening at the Genosha Hotel, and it is the intention of the of- ficers and members to go in a body from their meeting to the larger meeting which is to be addressed by the Hon.

Mental Diseases Said Caused By Alcoholism Boston, Nov. 20.--(AP)--Dr, Clif- ton T. Perkins, Massachusetts com- missioner of mental health, advo- cates the U.C. consider limiting lig- uor consumption to prevent an in- crease in mental disease "at this time of national crisis when we must be at our very best." Declaring there had been "a rapid rise in mental diseases direct- ly attributable to alcoholism," he told the Massachusetts Hospital association the situation. warranted consideration of three possible courses: Absolute prohibition; lim- {tation of hours during which drinks can be sold; control of the alcoholic content of beverages. He said the international situa- tion intensified the mental problem because some persons turned to alcohol for relief. CHICKEN CREMATED A burning roast at Rowntree's Jewellery Store, next to the Cor- onation Apartments on Ontario street, caused quite a furore yester- day afternoon. An intense smoke and fume barrage emanating from the scorched meat made it difficult for the local firemen, who got at the saurce of the smoke screen as quickly as they could. It is thought some damage may have been caus- ed by the smoke, which pretty well filled the upper apartments. roast was rather overdone to say the least. Placed outside to cool off afterwards, it was nothing but a blackened shell.

Higgins) More and more people of Ontario are becoming aware of the valuable heritage that is the.rs. This is shown in such widely divergent ways as the production of the bril= | liant, "Champlain Road" by Frank- lin McDowell, and the restoration of old Fort Henry with its massive walls and secret tunnels, at Kings- ton. Oshawa, too, has a past filled stirring exploits of which her citi- {zens may well be proud. One of the [most interesting of these adven- tures happened to Benjamin Wil- son, the first settler in the Oshawa district. Secured Grant of Land This sturdy Vermonter, accom- panied by his wife, came overland | from his native Crossing here to Upper Canada, he made his way to York. Here he se- cured a grant of two hundred acres |of land, and three years' free pro- {visions. By this generous policy | Governor Simcoe rewarded the | Loyalists and encouraged { ment. It is claimed by so, that Wil- son was a Loyalist and by others, |since he did not come to Canada until 1894; that he was an American |seeking free land. Whether or not he was a genuine Loyalist is unim- (portant. His hardihood and perse- {verance in the face of danger can be unquestioned. | The tract of virgin land secured |by Wilson stretched from the Osh- awa Creek, east, along the lake front. .After loading his provisions and all his world possessions into a flat-bottomed boat he follow>d the shoreline from York to Oshawa. At that time the ruins of a French trading post stood just east of the harbour cemetery. As this was abandoned before the English | occupation of Canada in 1760, we {may be sure that it was not in a | very habitable condition. However, a temporary shelter was essential and Wilson proceeded to move his goods into it, Indians Take | Unfortunately his movements were not unwatched. Scarcely had this operation been completed when 8 band of Indians appeared. These regarded the landing of Wilson as a fortunate windfall. They calmly helped themselves to all his pro- visions and whatever good pleased | Provisions his wife, helpless in the face of such numbers stood by. After the spoil had been divided the Indians order- ed the world-be settlers into their boat and commanded them to leave. Instead of returning to York with a tale cf distress and a plea for help to the busy Governor, the Wilson's set out eastward. At length go - First White Child Born! state to Niagara. | settle- | their fancy. Meanwhile Wilson and | they reached Port Hope and sought out the chief of the local Indians. Having heard the story of their treatment by his tribesmen, the chief volunteered to accompany them back to Oshawa. This was | agreed upon, and accompanied by another white man the little party | returnea. | On their arrival the chief en- countered a solitary Indian. He ordered him to assemble the thieves at once. Further, they were to bring the remainder of the plunder and their fur packs. When this had been done the chief ordered the stolen goods to be returned to the cabin, then, opening the fur packs he told Wilson to choose furs equal to th2 total value of his goods. Wilson took a reason- able number of furs. But the chief, not satisfied, ordered the other | !white man to draw furs, to the {value he would place on the stolen | property, This was done. Still dis- satisfied the chief drew more furs and added them to the bundle at Wilson's feet. Wilson Given Protection Finally the chief produced a wampum belt which he hung in the cabin as a sign that the Wilson's were under his protection. After telling them that any Indian shown this belt would leave them in peace, he departed. This proved to be so, and the | Wilson's had no more trouble with | the Indians. In fact, after a time.| the Indians proved of considerable | assistance in establishing the new farm. First White Child Born Here i The first child born to the Wil- | sons was a girl Nancy. It is claimed | |she was the first child to be born | of white parents in the Ontario | district. From this girl were des- cended the sole family whose proud claim can be that their ancestor vas the first settler of the Oshawa district. For on reaching maturity Nancy Wilson married a son of tife Pickell family. Today descendants | of this marriage still live on a lake shore farm east of the harbour. | Along the north fence of the I. cemetery at the lake, is a moss- | covered slab with the words "Capt. | Benjamin Wilson, Died 1821 in his | 83rd year." It would seem that | some more fitting memorial might {be erected to Oshawa's first pion- eer. The loss of such a tradition would be great to the children and | future citizens of Oshawa. Perhaps, | however, this simple slab Is fitting. | { These pioneers were simple men; | | simple men with a great purpose.

RACIAL PREJUDICES IN CANADA DECRIED; FIFTH COLUMN TALK SCORED We Fail to Recognize Faith, Hope and Charity as Basis of British Ideals, Masonic Dads and Lads Are Told UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED IN HOMES Sons Expect Security and Sympathetic Understand- ing; <Fathers Should Come Down off Pedestal "The trouble with most of us is that we do nct recognize that faith, hope and charity are the basis on which our Christian and British ideals rest. While we are proud of the traditions of the British Em- pire, which in fact and principal does not kick a man when he is down, yet we mentally do this through our thoughtless and brutal whispering campaign," W. F. K. Kendrick, member of the teaching profession, of Toronto, said at the father and son banquet at Temple Lodge last evening. Mr. Kendrick, who was introduced by Rt. Wor. Bro. C. F. Cannon, past master of Temple Lodge, but who is now residing in Toronto, in his op- ening remarks said he wondered how many fathers and sons were strangers to each other in their own hecusehold, He thought it would be better if fathers would come off the | pedestal and live naturally, for some day their sons and daughters would find them out and that re:elation would be worse than the let-down of finding out who Santa Clause was. Security Expected What any son expects in his home is security, not in a financial sense, but in the feeling that no matter what happens there is a sympathetic urderstanding between all members of the family and particularly cn the part of the father. This un- derstanding, the speaker pointed out, would wipz out lying and deceit and tear down the barriers of suspi- | cion, misunderstandings, even fear and hatred. When we look at the world today, we wonder what place faith, hope and charity has in it, Mr. Kendrick said. These three embody Christian ideas and are the basis on which rests our behaviour, but we do not | recognize them for what they mean. We profess to be proud of the tra- ditions of the British Empire, which in principle does not allow us to kick a man when he is down. But we do it mentally through our thought- less and brutal whisperings. Charity is said to be the cemen® which binds human society--love if you like. Perhaps at no time in his- tory has that love heen challenged and replaced by cruelty more than at the present, he said. Perhaps we do not realize there are other ways of living than by tolerance and liberty. It is tecause masonry de- pends on brotherly love and charity that it cannot remain in those countries where cruelty reigns, the speaker pointed out. Unwitting Fifth Columnists In veiled accusation of what is really happening in Canada, Mr. Kendrick said if he was a fifth col. umnist he would say "these French people need watching." Then he would go to Western Canada and have a lot to say about the eastern industrialists who raise tariffs on farm machinery and about the cap- | italists, and say they were a curse. Then he would go to the capitalists and say the workers are not doing their share, and he would do his best to stir up racial prejudices." Decries Racial Prejudices In regard to the people who do net speak our language and are of a different race than Arglo-Saxon, Mr. Kendrick said there would sure- ly come a day when every man would be accepted for what he was and not be judged by the language he speaks. Mr. Kendrick pointed out that racial prejudices are not born within us, but we get it from our parents and from adults, and the children repeat what is repeated to them. "We are really cruel in many of our ideas and whisperings and this is one of the problems which will have to be solved in the new way of living which we are looking for. Can we afford to substitute cruelty for brotherly love in the new order of things which we hope and expect will be ours in the future," Mr. Kendrick said in conclusion. A vote of thanks to the and to those taking part in the pees gram was moved by Wor. Bro. Aus rey Cooper, immediate past master of Temple Lodge. The second annual father and son banquet sponsored by Temple Lodge last evening was attended by up- wards of 200 dads and their lads. Wor. Bro. M. N, Jackson presided as toastmaster and proposed the toast to The King and the Craft and to Grand Lodge, which was responded to by singing the National Anthem and the Maple Leaf. , The tables were centred with small clusters of flags and a strip of red, white and blue bunting ran the length of each table. The sons and guests were welcomed by Bro. Rus- sell Flutter in the form of a toast to the fathers, sons and guests and was replied to by M. Black on behalf of the sons and by Wor. Bro. O. D, Friend on behalf of the fathers. Numbers on the program included solos by Billie Clark, boy soloist of St. George's choristers, accompanied by Mat Gouldburn, pianist, and Bro. Fred Dobson, of Toronto, gave & number of humorous monologues, Bro. A. W. Jacklin, master eléct the coming year, was introduced the gathering.
