3} THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, March 22, 1954 Editorials Publishers, Limited fhe Daily Times-Garette (Oshawa. Whitby), 57 Simcoe Street by Ti South, Oshawa, Ontario 100 Years Of Fine Service In Medicine For Canadians The current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal is of a some- what unusual character. All of the articles which appear in it have been written by members of the Faculty of Medicine at Queen's University, Kingston. This honor has been accorded to them in view of the fact that this issue is the Queen's Medical Centenary Number of the journal. It marks the 100th anniversary of the estab- lishment of the medical school of Quéen's University. ? This is a noteworthy occasion, and one which calls for messages of congratula- tion to this university for the contribution it 'has made to Canadian medical science over the past 100 years. Medical science 100 years ago was far from being what it is today. There have been tremendous advances in every field of that profession, and Queen's University, through its re- search work, and its close study of the whole medical field, has made no small contribution to these advances. At the present time, there are some 1500 physicians now serving Canadians in villages, towns and cities from Newfound- land to British Columbia, who were train- . ed and disciplined in the limestone build- ings of the Queen's campus and in the hospitals of Kingston. Queen's medical graduates are aiding the development of the Canadian nation in medical education and research and in the medical services of Canadian armed forces, government, commerce and industry. Time marches on. Progress begets pro- gress. And it is interesting to note that, at the end of a century of service, the Faculty of Medicine of Queen's Univer- sity is engaged in plans to improve fur- ther its facilities for Canadian medical research and for training young men and women in the science and discipline of . Canadian medicine. The quality of medical service given to the Canadian people de- pends primarily upon the quality of medi- cal education and research in Canadian medical schools. In this fields, Queen's has a glorious record which it can be depend- . ed upon to emulate in the future. Promoting Of Freer World Trade Canadian and American cabinet min- isters in charge of departments of trade, commerce and economic affairs have been meeting in Washington. They have been discussing ways and means of promoting ecosomic unity between their two coun- tries, and freer trade relations between the nations of the world. Their discussions have been fruitful, at least to the extent that they have been able to put into words the essential factors in bringing this about. The major requirement, however, is how these words are to be translated into action, and that is another story. The communique issued at the end of the conference pointed to some encourag- ing factors on the economic horizon. Then it wefit on to say: "Nevertheless it was agreed that the recovery to economic health has not pro- gressed equally in all countries. What is needed is the creation of a more flexible system of trade and payments through- out the world which would offer greater resilience to changing circumstances and which would contribute dynamically to- ward rising standards of living." These are words, fine words. What is needed now is action to translate them into realities. And whether the represent- atives of the United States know it or not, that action rests with their country above all others. In the communique, in which we presume they were partners, they pay lip service to the theory that more flex- ible trade is required. Does that mean that they will be willing to bring about that greater flexibility through the actions of their own government? It is a matter of fact and record that the greatest barriers to economic good health in the world today are those which are imposed by the United States to keep goods from other countries from entering its borders. Tariffs, import restrictions, import quotas in fixed percentages, are all part of the U.S. pattern to keep out goods from other lands which must ex- port to attain economic stability. Unfortunately, United States cabinet ministers have no power to translate their words into action. In their system of government, they cannot commit Con- gress to doing anything, which is vastly different from the system of cabinet re- sponsibility under which Canada is govern- ed. So, fine as these words are, we have little hope that they will be productive of much good until such time as the United States policy remains one of restricting trade with other nations. Promotion Is Good In Principle The principle that worthy civic employ- * ees should be promoted when vacancies occur' in the branches in which they are employed is a sound one. In every de- partment of the municipal administration, it is good business to have employees coming along who are being groomed to take higher posts when vacancies arise. That is a practice with which no one will disagree. This principle has already been ap- plied with good effect in the civic ad- ministration of Oshawa. In the city en- gineer's department, the tax collector's department and the office of the city treasurer Oshawa has exceptionally cap- able officials, largely because they were trained in the department to a large ex- tent, and were promoted to their present offices when these became vacant.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR FEBRUARY 12,986 Whitby Oshawa has to have a new chief of police in the near future, also a new city clerk. So far as the position of chief of police is concerned, the post has been ad- vertised across Ontario, if not Canada. There is not a thing wrong with that pro- cedure, so long as it does not rule out the possibility that the principle of promo- tion of meritorious officials may be app- lied, if this can be done. Doubtless there will be many applicants for the position, but those who are responsible for the selec- tion of new officials should take a good look at the qualifications of men who have served the city for years, and who might quite reasonably be expected to ,be promoted when there are any openings for advancement. The same is true so far as the vacant city clerkship is concerned. Before going afield too far in a search for a successor to City Clerk Fred Hare, it might be well to make an assessment of those who are now in the city's employ, and who, by reason of qualifications and experience, would fit well into the position of city clerk. It is a great tonic for employees in any concern or organization to know that the principle of promotion on merit is to be applied when the top positions have to be filled.

OTTAWA REPORT Changed Tune On Hungry Thirties BY PAT NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- So after all it was not the Conservative party which caused the depression of the nine- teen-thirties. That is official now. The denial comes from no less a person than the minister of fin- ance, D. C. Abbott -- and he should know. The main plank of the Liberal party in elections is the bogey- man of the slump which, say Lib- erals, would inevitably follow if the electors should be so dumb as to vote the Conservatives back into power. This plank, of course has never been officially adopted at any Liberal National Conven- tion; but it is always sneaked meaningfully and meanly into ev- ery election campaign. Liberal speeches, election ad- vertisements and campaign litera- ture are liberally sprinkled with this innuendo. Mr. St. Laurent struck this key- note in his coast-to-coast radio speech launching the Liberal cam- paign . last summer: 'When they go to the polls on election day, I believe most Cana- dians are going to think back to the terrible conditions of the Thir- ties, and contrast them with the conditions which exist in Canada today. . and when we vote, I am sure most of us will want to be careful we do not risk losing what has been gained." . BETWEEN THE LINES It appears that Mr. St. Laurent's ghost-writer -- for he is believed not to compose his own major political speeches -- was intending to convey here the impression * that the Conservative government under Mr. R. B. Bennett was re- sponsible for causing the simp of the Hungry Thirties; and intend- ing to leave in every listener's subconsciousness the fear that a return to Conservative government would inevitably be followed by a return to slump conditions. A few days later, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Mr. C. D. Howe said: "I ask you to look at the recerd of ".2 past 18 years of Liberal government. The first five years were spent lifting the country out of the mess into which it had fallen during the preceding five years of Conservative administra- tion." That sounded more like appor- tioning blame than sympathizing in an unfortunate coincidence which was none of the Conservatives' doing. NOT CONSERVATIVE SLUMP In fact, the slump as marked by that sensitive barometer, the Stock , had comm d nine months before the Conservatives under R. B. Bennett won the gen- eral election in June 1930. Yet in spite of the red warning flags, the Liberal leader Mackenzie King had completely failed to see the depression coming and so had failed to take any precautionary stens. It was an American slump in origin, exported into Canada. The Conservative party has not blamed the Liberal party for creat- ing it here in Canada.Yet, although the Conservatives inherited at the polls a stricken country, the Lib- erals still accuse the Conserva- tives of creating the Hungry Thir- ties. The Liberals are promiscuous in their choice of allies and greedily claim as their own creations such external beneficial influences as Nature, Hitler, the climate and communism, all of which have played key roles in building up Canada's present prosperity. Did the Liberals place oil be- neath the Prairies, iron ore in Labrador or White Horses in our rivers? Did the Liberals create recent years' good crop weather? Did the Liberals arrange for the Nazis to attack Poland or for the Cemmunists to attack South Ko- rea? Did the Liberals launch America's Marshall Plan? These facts have been the true architects of what Mr. St. Laurent pointed to with immodest pride as our pres- ent happy conditions. But could it be that the Liberal government is now preparing n external alibi to excuse itself from the present unemployment and the coming recession? Is this why Fin- ance Minister Abbott last week in Parliament sang a song which is entirely new for the Liberals? Is this why he blamed not the Con- servatives but external influences for causing the Hungry Thirties, saying: "I think the hon. member (Mr. M. J. Coldwell) will agree in all fairness that conditions dur- ing the Thirties were partly as the h X MAC'S MUSINGS The cher cay up at Westmount School there was Assembled a g eat pile Of waste paper which had Been laboriously collected By the school's pupils, In order (iat they m' ht Dispose of it to earn Some dollars to be added To the hospital fund.
