Referring to. the history of the jury system, His Lordship pointed out that the idea was crys d in the Magna Carta, the whole spirit of which he said was epitomized in the two articles which decree that no free man shall be seized or im- isoned . . . except by the legal udgment of his peers, and that to none will justice be delayed. Increase in Crime "At this present time also," he told the jurors, "your duties are particularly important because we cannot close our eyes to the fact that all over Ontario, all over Can- ada and all over: the world there is an increase in crime. Naturally moral standards have become loos- ened, men's minds have become dis- torted and there has been the gen- eral social upheaval that always leads to crime." His Lordship pointed out also that during the war there had come to adolescence a generation of children who had not had the close parental supervision which he termed "absolutely essential to the training of useful citizens." He re- ferred to the juvenile crime in On- tario and everywhere today as "an of | appalling problem" and one which must be solved if there is to be a citizenship of the next generation capable of carrying on the functions of that citizenship, : The suggestion that the current erime wave was caused by the men who had fought in the war he inting out that statistics show the per- centage of crime among returned men to be very greatly lower than among other sections of the com- munity. He deplored, however, the ease with which lethal weapons could be obtained as a result of the war and urged that this question should be dealt with by the legal authorities "at once and effectively," ' Addresses Zionists MENDEL N. FISHER of New York, a figure in the world Zionist organization, is coming to Ontario to address the first post war conference of the Ontario Zionist Organization in London, Ont, which will be attended by leading Zionists from this city. Mr. Fisher, who is executive director of the Jewish National Fund for Pal- estine, recently returned from Lon- don, Eng., where he participated in the Extraordinary World Zionist Conference, : 5 T ; ws Had it "Today, this whole country from an economic: standpoint is sufering by reason of the refusal to work for one or more of our inudus- tries by those associa in the production of the products of these Tdusiries unless their demands are met, "We have no one but ourselves to blame for this disturbance in our economic life, but it will remain, so long as our representatives in Par liament do not face their - bility, and we of the lic cannot stand idly by and blame our re | presentatives, unless we speak op- enly, and say what we think, "There are undoubtedly differenc- hat: PUBLIC OPINION (Cerdinucd from Page 3) Atlantic to the East, after what now seems to us a lot of silly non- sense in 1812, and why--because we went South to meet them and they came North to meet us, with the result that it is now almost im- possible to distinguish a Yank from a Canadian, and yet we, as a fully grown nation and our American Cousins and many of our friends of the British Commonwealth expect our Russism friends to sce eye to eye with us on present and future world plans, They as a great Re- public, have had but, a short life as such after the days of tyranny un- der the reign of the Czars, Be falr to our friends of the Soviet Re- public, and I venture to suggest that it will not take them as long to know us, as it has taken us to trust and understand our American Cousins, "The world struggle which is about to officially end may pro- vide that cement to bind us ever closer together. We already have seen our boundaries being cast aside for the production and distribution of instruments of destruction. Surely, if we have found it neces- sary to save our free way of life in times of stress, how much more should we in times of peace lay aside our boundaries for the bene- fit of not only those of the English world, but also those of our brothers, who desire to live as we, under democratic institutions, "Let our representatives not re- peat in their Paris discussions or in their ultimate treaties, the mis takes which they made in the last Peace Treaty by pretending to oure selves that we could build a pesce- ful world order, and secure the, peaceful Jiogress of vast territories, by securing s§' called agreements between governments, without any regard to the character of the Gov- ernments, and the manner of life h88 | they impose upon their peoples, "We then had no moral right to hand over vast areas of Europe to weak and impotent Governments than we had to the late gangster Hitler. A peaceful civilization can only be built on the foundation of freemen, and men subject to mise government were no more free, than the people. of the low countries were under the rule of the Nazi hordes. "In the Chance] of one of Eng- land's Old Abbeys, at Tewkesbury, is a stone in memory of one of the Barons of Magna Charta, on which is carved the words: "Magna Char- ia li se law and let the King look out." "So it has always been the same, and will ever continue to be, that the English speaking people wher« ever they may be, whether the ty- rants be Barons, the Church, De- mogogues or Dictators, let them look out. Desire For Security "I want to pass on to you a few further observations in regard to conditions which are not only common in this City, as well as the Country as a whole, the United States, Industria] Britain and the Continent, There seems to be a hankering, not only in the minds of those associated in the production end of our vast plants, but in the minds of the management of these plants, and in the minds of those who produce the appropriate cap- ital to provide the for not on- ly management, but for those as- sociated with them in producti for some new method of carryin on, and the question is frequently asked in discussions, what shall we do to protect our fobs and to provide ourselves and our families with a home, and all that goes with a Christian home, and the sum and substance of their observations seem to be described in one word, "security." "The great industries built by one man and those of his family as- sociated with him have long ceased to exist, and right in your own City there is an Industry, the good- wil] of which was built up by the well known McLaughlin family many years ago, when they started a modest Industry producing what was then, luxurious carriages, and the control of this Company re- mained in their hands until the early part of the present century, but today what remains of that for- mer Industry, is only a memory, as it has been absorbed by a Great World Corporation known ag Gen- eral Motors, and the McLaughlin heirs, instead of owning and con- trolling the present Industry, mere ly sit on the Board with the man- agement, which operates this vast industry, and no doubt some Have been fortunate to still retain a few shares, "Many of the smaller Corpora- tions in this City and elsewhere in this Dominion, were organized by families, and they likewise found it desirable to , provide security for themselves and their families by asking the Public, which in many es en Capital, Management and their Associates in production, but these should not be allowed to ef- fect the economic life of the whole Country under any circumstances, as these are matters which can and must be settled between the three groups, and there should be one or 1ic interests, and such group or com- mittee, call it what you may, should have full Joes to make final dis- position of the matter, having re- gard to the interests of all concern- ed. Heretofore thete has been a patched up peace so to speak, as no one wants to face the problems of a sound economic solution, "If Capital Management and those associated in the production end, could meet, as this Club is doing today, and discuss their common problems, they might find a solution, Service Clubs such as yours have an opportunity of coming together on such an occas- which will help to formulate public opinion either in your City, your District Conference, or at your Ine ternational Convention, and en- deavour as you have 'a perfect right to do, to educate public opin- jon along these lines, which will bring about industrial peace before it 1s too late, "We cannot live unto ourselves. Our economic life depends largely on what we produce for export, as we have a very limited market in Canada for many of the lines which we manufacture, Discourage World Capital "Conditions existing in Canada at this date, are not only hurting this Dominion, as one of the young, vigorous nations of the world, but are bound to create an atmosphere which will discourage the influx of world capital, rather than encour age it as ore, "It hag been said, that one's in- vestments in Canada were safe, as we were a new Country with re- sources, yet only tapped, and with a sane public opinion, which would protect within reason all Foreign investments, "At this date, we are not unlike our friends to the South, with our economic upheaval, and one is just concerned, that if this condition is allowed to proceed, and our Gov- ernment is indifferent to the situa- tion, and our people acquiesce therein, that the opinion which has been forming over the years, will react, and we will be left to our own resources to develop our still untapped resources, "People in every walk of life must face this issue, and must not evade trying to find a solution, as the problem is vital to us all, "I am inclined to think that if we could bring those that represent the men in the various Industries, before such a publie gathering as Branch Director ¥.

A native of Brantford, Mr, Lyle was formerly the Trade and Industrial Commissioner Ontario House, London, Veterans Ask For Sewer Services A petition from a group of veter- ans, who have purchased homes on Highland Avenue, asking that Coun~ cil provide sewer services as soon as possible was referred to the Board of Works by City Oouncil at its ses- at more persons representing the pub- | sion last night Ald, Starr explained there was a very great shortage of tile for the trunk sewer, Highland Avenue was one of the streets passed to have a sewer last spring and the engineer had been asked to prepare specifi. cations in readiness for the calling of tenders, The volume of work had been such he had not been able to complete them, He had given assurance, however, they would be ready soon. "We have 70 new bulldings in the city we cannot provide with sewers due to the lack of tile," Ald. Starr said, expressing the hope it might be available in two or three weeks sion as this for further discussions | time. Ald, Gordon Davis suggested the Highland Avenue job should be placed first on the list to be done. PRESENT TRIBUTE (Continued from Page 1.) have served with ability and vision the needs and requirements of a forward-marching people, You have rendered useful service fo the na- tion as a whole, "Those of us who have enjoyed the honor and privilege of close as- sociation with you, pay special tri- bute to the greatness of character you have displayed in the field of human relationships .... to the help, understanding and sympathe- tic consideration you have accorded your fellow man ... to the inte- grity and high principle that has motivated your every action. "It is with pride that we count ourselves among that honoured group to whom you have extended personal friendship, And it is with deep and warm affection that we, and those who are associated with us, look forward to a continuance of this happy and rewarding rela- tionship for many long years to come."

A half hour later they Wate joined by street railway oper- ators. . Objection to Oscar Vogt. trans portation dispatcher, was sald to be the reason for the sudden tie-up, according to information reaching the management. No notification of street railway operators walking out had been received either by the PUC chairman, Harvey Grabber, or the management. At the PUC offices it was an- nounced that efforts would be made to put a skeletoi service in opera- tion for the benefit of workers and shoppers, : An emergency meeting of the Commission was called for tonight. Chairman Graber sald that "with negotiations for a settlement of the dispute still pending, I cannot but feel that this action on the part of the union is illegal." W. A. Eastwood, J. D. Kervin, W.
