Do the Governments in Canada intend that Canadians m starve to death? If not. it must be admitted that money must be expended so that all may live. There are two ways in which the money may be spentâ€"{or services tendered. and for direct relief. No true Canadian wants the latter. Only the aliens can accept direct relief without dime and pain. What Canadians. desire is a chance to work and keep themselves. 'I'h‘s chance in large measure his been taken from them. Tens of thousands of good men throughout the Dominion have no opportunity for regular unployment. It is the bouden duty of governments to me tint these men do not starve. It is equally the bounden duty of governments to see that the matter is dealt with in sensible and economical way. The only sensible and mmical manner in which relief can be given is by pro- vkilng national work at fair pay. There are literally hun- cheds of public works that: should be carried out and could he carried out now. There is much. indeed. to be done to any on development of this new country. “But where is fin money to come from?" it may be asked. The answer a that there is more than summent of everything in this amntry for everybody. There is even ample money. The not that the recent government loans were over-subscribed it short time shows that the lack of money is not the real cattle. However. it would be well to face the fact that there seems no escape from the preposition that those who have unduly profited in paet years. from exploiting the pub- R and making undue profits from concessions and privi- ‘es in regard to the country's resources must be compelled to play the game Iairly. This seems to be an inevitable conâ€" cussion. The high finance crcwd are busy, trying to becloud the Issue and to escape the fair and reasonable couxse. For the mmnent they have even tricked the governments at unkeshlh. economies that only mean inevitable further W There are same facts that stand out so clearly an it is a wander that anyone should miss them.

There is also the indisputable fact that reduction of wages. except in the case of foolishly paid figureheads like the head of the Canadian National Rail- ways and others. makes the conditions worse by reducing buying power. destroying morale and strengthening the whole vicious circle cf depression. There are no worth-while mottoes for 10-day. except "Business as Usual.’ and “Serve by Spending." In other words, the burden must be eased as much as possible from those least able to bear it, and taken up in greater measure by those with greater hoarded re- much as post] up in greater sources.

It is not so much the thought that the United State“ musicians do not know Canada's National Anthem! No! Even some Canadian-s who cry aloud for a. nafzional flag for Canada's very own do not know that Canada’s only National Anthem is “God Save the Kin-g.” They think it may b9 “0. Canada,” or “The Méple Leaf." Some of them ever orefer, “Over the Cow-shed." Some weeks ago aft-er much difficulty one man in town was persuaded that it was “Allou- ett-e!“ It is not the fact of the United States not know- ing Canada's national airs that stings and galls and burns! No! But it is the rank dtscriminaitiorn shown. The false economy of the high finance crowdâ€"and a much meaner name might be given itâ€"is exemplified by :in eccnomies proposed by both the Ontario and Dominion . ’1‘3 0 mments at present. The Ontario Government appears "v in w inkling of the proper method, becauze in its reduc- .L.._~~. if salaries it has made a graded scale, a larger pro- pzrt‘on being taken from the higher salaries than from the smal‘er ones. The big point is missed. however. that some diaries are already so small that further reduction is prac- tically criminal, and on the other hand in the case of sai- ariea of ten thousand or more a cut of even fifty per cent. would not be too drastic. If Hon. Mr. 'Finiays-on honestly believe; a road worker can live on $600.00 a year. as many of them have to do. it does not appear to be presumptuous to ask the Minister himself to try and worry along on $6000 a year, instead of double that amount. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Dominion Government will adopt a graded scale in its reductions of pay. All under a thousand dollars a yearâ€"and there are a surprising numâ€" berâ€".hculd be exempted. Up to two thousand a year the reduction should not be heavy. After that an ascending scale should be a-dopfed for the reductions. Let the burden fail chiefly on those able tobear it. That will be found to be the only economical plan, if reductions are to be put in Canadians will resent this almost to the point of peace as they have it in China. The Toronto Star last week had an editorial note saying: â€" “Two of the Sana-tors at Ottawa had their overcoats stolen the other day. Nothing like that used to happen when Hon. Mackenzie King appoint-ed the Senators." No! In those days some of the Senators were accused of stealing the very shirts of! the maple.

The death of Edgar Wallace last week will come as a genuine loss to literally hundreds of thousands of peerle. As an author and newspapemia‘n he was perhaps the most popular of all the literary men of the British Isles. He was credited with being responsible for one quarter or all of the cutout of books in Great Britain in recent years. He wrote at immense speedâ€"novels. plays, criticisms. essays. With such a volume of output it is scarcely to be expected that he could hold the highest literary standards. yet none of his writing could be termed poor. Bet-tee~ still. it was all clean and without any ill influence. His detective stories had the greatest sale of any similar books in the English langu- age. He may not have been a great literary genius, but he was a genius for work and a clean honourable British gen- tleman. He brought interest and pleasure into the lives of tens of thousands of people. and that is an epitaph that any men might envy. Why were not all the other sixteen mt on-s treated the same w 3y as Canada? its national air. If something like this had been carried through, Canaâ€" dians would have accefited the “Bavarian Love Sang” in 333d splrit feelmg that. perhaps it, was the only other number the band could play. China's representatives might have been greeted with:â€" “Who's Your Little Whoosis?" For J apan, the national anthem might well have been :â€" “Every Little Movement Has 8. Meaning All It’s Own " For Spamâ€"“She Knows Her Onions." An appnopriate alternative for Russia‘s national anthm would have been “The head March in Sam.” German representatives might have been greeted with:â€" “Oh. vare, ch varre, is Mein Little Dag Gone?"

Recently. Hen. E. C. Drury wrote Hon. Geo. S. Henry, present premier of Ontario, requesting that the eight thousand dallars due the said Drury be paid new. as he needed it. Finding that Hon. Mr. Drury had volun‘arily left the money undrawn and had passed no legislation debarring his acceptance of the full salary. the present premier without undue comment had the back salary forwarded to Hon. Mr. Drury. In same way or another, W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal party in the Ontario House. became interested in the question and made public enquiry of the Government while the House was in session last week As a result, the facts as noted above were made public. They show the three leaders in the different lights they likely deserve. The former grand gas- ture of Mr. Drury looks like a feeble jest now. Again it seems that Mr. Sinclair has asked for samething that he did not expect to get. Premier Henry is the one who comes out of the matter best of all.

Continuing Reduced Rates (m Railways For years past The Advance has been urging that the hope of the railways in their competition with buses and other opposition lay in the special ser- vice the railways might give to the pub- lic. For years the railways discontinu- ed all special rates on the lines for week-ends and special occasions, and thus they appeared «to lose touch with the public. Years ago the special week- end rates, the excursion rates. etc, were among the features that popular- ized the railways. The railways not only secured extra business by these spec: ai rates, but they also became more pepuiar w; th the general public. Years ago these special rates for week- end rates, excursions etc" were discontinu- ed, and suggesticns for their revival were not heeded. Last year, however, the railways tcok up the old plan again and it has proved very popular. The special week-end rates were to be dis- continued on Feb. 29th of this year, but popular demand has been so great to have them cantinued that the Cana- Lew VVc-e-k-cnd Round Trip Fares on Railwa ys to Remain in Force, in RCSFOHSC to the General Public - Demand. dian Passenger Association has made an almiouncement Ito the effect that, the of their artlessness Be Luxe Panel Body on Special Commercial Chassis -$’pecia| Commercial Chassis M40”.

The Canadian Passenger Asso- iiatisn, speaking for the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadian Nation- 11 Railways and the other railways con- cerned, has issued the following state- ment, sent to The Advance by J.
