0. C. F. leaders in control. The Russian lead is equally apparent in regard to tthe methods by which the C. C. F. says it will raise money by. taxation. Customs dutiés, sales tax and other imposts: t.hat.l the C. C. F. asserts falls upon the mass of the people, is to be replaced in any C,. C. F. regime by a graded income tax that will take from the rith the greater part of what they may have. â€" The impossibility of this plan should be apparent qnmtwe On the one hand the.C. C.â€"F. promises such ‘cha ‘as will make it impossible for anyone to be rich, Beveral months ugo a fellow came to town. What was the gain of the town he came from was the loss to Timâ€" mins. He spoke English with an accent and with a remarkâ€" able generosity of words, and drank Bceotch with an equal generosity of hiccoughs. For months on end he ate at the expense of the British, slept at the care of the Finns, talked at tne expense of anyone who would listen, and drank at the expense of anyone who would supply the liquor. He was ready to do anything for the worker, but work. . He hated everything about capitalism, but its liquor. He was a type, and are often tolerated because they are types. But types soon wear out their welcome when they want to barter tripe for liquor and cheap talk for a livelihood. Eventually, this fellow reached a point where the aliens mistrusted him, _the generous were cloyed with him, and everyone else was tired of him, drunk or sober. if any. The situation became critical and the ‘gentleman himself was desperate, driven even to the recklessnessâ€"well not exactiy of going to workâ€" but to:the externt at least : of asking for a job He thought, like so many do, that the nearest to a position without the indignity of actual work would be a Government job. The only Government jobs that seemed available were those on the Transâ€"Canada highway and on the airports being‘ constructed in the North. ‘The highway jobs were not deâ€" slrablg but the airport work ought to be light and airy, he thought. ~So he: appealed <to the inhnuman monsters, the grasping tools of capitalism, the heartless upholders of the slavery of the brutal economic system. These fascist forces were surprisingly agreeable. They appeared earnest, generâ€" ous, even enthusiastic about getting this fellow a Governâ€" ment job. . They arranged everything for him. At least there was nothing for him to do but endure a physical examâ€" ination and as soon as he was passed as physically fit, there would . be free transportation for him to a vacant place among those around the airport work. There was disapâ€" pointment in the offing, however, for the man with the Engâ€" lish voice and the Scotch taste, or taste for Scotch, as the case may be;: The doctor would not pass him as fit for work. The transient wept tears and was so sorry for himself. There was no further relief for him, and his business was at standstill in Timmins. Again the good people of Timmins with rare forgiveness fhna goodwill helped out this gentleâ€" man. It was pointed out that anyone who expected this man to work was too optimistic. He could eat all right, it was pointed out. Certainly, Timmins could spare him. The work would not injure him; heâ€"could be depended upon to see to that.. Why not give him one more chance? Why not give Timmins one more chance? As a result of the efforts of the good people of Timmins, this man of many words and few ideas was taken on last week and sent to a position on the staff of the airport effort. Of course, he would be grateâ€" ful? Then you do not know the type! No sooner had he reached the airport work than he wrote a letter. A letter of thanks to Timmins, perhaps? Certainly you don‘t know the type! The letter was to or uncertain newsâ€" paper. It was a sneering sort of epistle, covering airports, relief and hospitality with sgrcasm and contempt. He dubbâ€" ‘ed the medical inspection as a farce, in view of the fact that he had been accepted despite an adverse medical sheet. A man as ungrateful as this fellow should be sentenced to the gold cure and then deported to some country not on the gold standard. To the end this fellow is a type, a daguerâ€" reotype as it were, with the dagger for anyone foolish enough to befriend him. All through the C. C. F. manifesto is the very evident inâ€" tention and desire to make the people believe that the whole scheme is one whereby the very rich only are to be despoiled for the advantage of the poor. Again. the Rusâ€" sian Soviet trick! ‘The rich manufacturer is to be robbed to help the struggling worker! Yet the farm is not to be taken from the prosperous farmer and given to the poor settler! Hon. Mackenzie King is right in describing the manifesto as a plan to establish a C. C. F. bureaucracy. In case the C. C. F.‘were to attain power, it would mean no more and The manifesto is silent as to the methods by which the socialization soâ€"called might be accomplished. Some of the delegates were openly in favour of force, but the majority voted against the expressed intention of the use of force. Yet the convention was practically unanimous for the repeal of Section 98 of the Criminal Code, a section that has no interest or concern for anyone that does not wish to advoâ€" cate the use of force or the threat of force. The C. C,. F. assert that the savings of the worker and the small business ventures will not soon fall under the F heel, but again the parallé] with Russia is so apparent that comment seems needless. Pretended exemption is promised in regard to farmers and farm affairs. â€" Such a promise had to be made or the support of the farmers‘ organizations would have been lost. The Soviet were equally lavish in their promises to the farmers in Russia, but few classes in reality have been so enslaved and abused in Russia as the workers of the land. PE in sds e ct s c hA Wt N ts . In four thousand burning words the C. C. F. convention at Regina has announced what the party stands for, and what they expect the country to fall for. In a word the proâ€" gramme is the same as the Soviet, with the exception of a few whiskers. The late Reverend Mr. Woodsworth retains his beard, but the rest of the leaders seeri barefaced enough. Under words such as "socialization," ‘"ownership for the common good," and so on, the new party proposes what is little different to highway robbery on a magnific¢ent scale. The banks, the railways, all public utilities, businesses of all kinds and conditions are to be taken over by the C. C. F. and conducted as the manifesto alleges, "for the common beneâ€" fit," but in stern practice that would mean no more than "as the leaders of the C. C. F. may decide." In this "socialâ€" izzation" soâ€"called, no one surely can fail to see the simiâ€" larity to the Soviet scheme. ‘ The new political party, familiarly known as the C. C. F., has announced its platform. The mountain has laboured and brought forth a cross between a redâ€"eyed rat and a bird: of paradise fed on garlic. Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association:; Ontarieâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class "A" Wuokly Group Timmins, Ont., Thursday, July 27th, 1933 THE CUCKOO FELLOWS an intensified form of capitalism with the The motion picture play at the Goldfields theatre on Monday and Tuesday carried a moral for all to read. Pn the picture, "A Successful Calamity," with George Arliss in the leading role the moral was that sometimes it is worth while for a man to be ruined just to know how much more thoughtful, loyal, affectionate and selfâ€"sacrificing at heart his family really is than what he has feared might be the case. The present depression has in some ways been a "Successful Calamity" in that many families have learned the strength and the worth of each other when tested by trial and trouble. Kok Advancé understands the Kapuskasing néwspaper as anxious to say that The Cochrane Northland Post writes its ediâ€" torials on the tripe writer. It is a very odd fact that more recent complaints about the backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land plan have all come from distant places and wearing a very distinctive partisan complexion. In reâ€" gard to the complaints from Windsor and its mayor The Advance is unable yet to understand how conditions could be anything like as serious as reported and The Northern Tribune not know anything about it, or knowing say nothâ€" ing. though the settlers in question were so near to the doorstep of The Northern Tribune. However, Hon. Mr. Finâ€" layson‘s letter in reply to Mayor Croll, as published in The Advance, made very complete and apparently unassailable defence of his department. Windsor séeking to send more men to the North is itself an interesting comment on the sincerity of Mayor Croll‘s strictures, The good words for the plan, notably from Guelph, Ontatrio, also throw light upon the fact that the plan is working with reasonable smoothness. Any trouble that Windsor may have had seems to be traceable to the wrong type of settlers forced by the city under the plan. The North suffers from this wrong attitude and will be pleased to see that Hon, Mr. Finlayson not only places the responsibility where it belongs but eviâ€" dently intends to guard against it in the future. . Any good"citizen who knows the North will welcome the agricultural development of this North, believing that for both the settler and the country the future holds much of promise. It is less than two years ago that The Advance, bowever, had some criticism of settlement in this part of the North under the backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land scheme. There were two special objections made by The Advance, One was that there was too much red tape about the administration of the plan in this part of the North and that it was too bad to spoil a perfectly good plan by perfectly silly red tape. The other complaint was that some of the settlers were apparâ€" ently of the wrong type and were not likely to make good as a consequence. It developed then that Hon. Wm. Finâ€" layson, Minister of Northern Development for Ontario, was so interested in the success of the new settlement plan that he took the tro‘uble to write The Advance in the matter. He disputed the objections made by The Advance but at the samhe time seemed to be perfectly sincere in his expressed desire to make the plan successful. For weeks The Advance had been hearing complaints in the matter. In some cases men had been months on certain homesteads and then sudâ€" denly seemed to realize that there was no chance for them to make good in the particular location they had been given. This fact showed the men in question were scarcely suited for pioneer work in the North. A man who does not know good land from bad is hardly suited to be a successful settler even in this fertile North. It was recognized that Hon. Mr. Finlayson had his difficulties before him, if towns and cities were to be allowed to send men to the North under the plan and without reference to their fitness. Immediately after Hon. Mr. Finlayson‘s letter it was noted that there were no complaints about red tape and the plan seemed to work along smoothly. |The Advance has not heard a complaint since that time that seems to bear investigation, so far as this section is concerned. The Advance believes its complaints were justified, but so far as this section is concerned there has appeared to be no grounds for objectionâ€"since that time. If any mistrkes were made Hon. Mr. Finlayson did his part to guard against any repéetition. In view of the fact that two of the North Land néwspapers that have been discussing the land settlement plan and each other (particularly each other) have evaded the issue for cne week it may not be out of place for another North Land newspaper to say a few words on the question. There is a tendency to give the leaders of the C C. F. credit for sincerity. Can this be honestly done? The late reyvâ€" erend â€" Mr. Woodsworth and others in the leadership of the party have had previous experience to point the moral of the evil of their vapourings. They know. or should know, the futility of their plans, and also that the propaganda that they spout so freely leads the illâ€"informed in wrong ways. So it was in the Winnipeg riots and disorders some years ago. How sincere and loyal men could risk a repeatâ€" ing of the crime and disorder of the Winnipeg days is imâ€" possible to understand. Even sincerity can scarcely be alâ€" lowed to the leaders. The followers in the main are honest enough and there is hope that ere the questions go to issue the greater part of the membership of this new party will have fallen away. The people of Canada can be trusted to look to their own interests and to guard the laws and conâ€" stitution under which they have made such noteworthy proâ€" gress and by which they will hope to advance still further towards greater freedom and general happiness. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER| Any who will study the platform of the C. C. F. as anâ€" nounced, and ask "How? How?" in regard to every plank, will be convinced of the hopelessness and uselessness of the whole manifesto. It is the work of inexperienced, illâ€"inâ€" informed and illâ€"advised leaders. Not only the farmers, but many others beguiled at first by the brilliant, if vague promises of the leaders of the new party, are appalied by the implied expense of many of the fads and frills promised by the C. C. F. programme. ‘"Where is the money for all these things to be raised, and how?" they ask. And well may they ask! In some lines of social and cultural endeavour the C. C. F. programme implies an expenditure so high that it staggers any thoughtful man. The immense cost of these additional services must be met. and yet the very sources now supplying by far the greater part of the revenues of the country would be closed under a C. C. F. regime. while at the same time there is the suggestion that the only will bear the tax load. ‘This, perhaps, is the most mmuyn. The truth is that the very advent alone of the C. C. F. to any power would mean the instant evaporâ€" to the hardships tha@ even the humblest would face in the chaos that would result from the pretended programme proâ€" mised by the C. C. F. 5 ‘The Toronto Globe refers to the C. C. F. platform as no more than a visionary dream. To those who study the matâ€" ter it will appear as a horrible nightmare were there any probability of the C. C. F. party being in position to try it. The Farmers‘ parties are doubtful about the parts of it that they can visualize. Indeed, there is some question as to whether Ontario Farmers will adhere to tthe C. C. F. for any length of time. From an item in The Northern Tribune last week The THE BACKâ€"TOâ€"THEâ€"LAND PLAN The ‘sevenâ€"monthsâ€"old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ash living at Lonely River, the section of Northwestern Quebec where settlers are being placed under the backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land plan of the Dcominion Government, swallowed a safety pin the other day and for a time the youngster was considered to be in serious danger of death. youngster in some manner or ancther got hold of the safety pin and though the child was noticed as it put the ‘safety pin in its mouth before anything gould be done to stop him, the little boy had swallowed the pin. The child was rushed to the hospital at Rouyn, where an immediate operation was performed and the pin successfully reâ€" moved. The child was sufficiently reâ€" covered to be able to be taken home again a few days after the accident, and apparently will suffer no ill effects from an accident that, for a time threatened to be a very serious one. Constable Hawley and Mrs. Hawley and family are visiting friends and reâ€" latives in the New Liskeard and Latchâ€" ford areas. "Certain newspapers have been most active in propagating the suggestion that those.who served Canada and the in time of danger were faring too well. Veterans should realze the effect of this on the uninformed body of Canadian citizens and do everything to counteract it. Only by organized veterans effort can this be accomâ€" plished; therefore, every member of the Legion is specially appealed to at this time to rally round and enlist all possibly support for the Legion and its associations. i ‘"Unlcss there is a great change in the financal situaton of Canada by next year, further concessions regarding pensions will undoubtedly be insisted upon by the Government. While ready to coâ€"operate in making further sacriâ€" fices for the welfare of our Country, if need be, we must see to it that "Equalâ€" ity of Sacrifice" is applied also to those who profited by the war. We can only do this if we are well organized and strong enough with public opinion behind us." BABY SEVEN MONTHS OLD SWALLOWS A SAFETY PIN "In the shadow of the Peace Tower at the Parliament Buildings, Ottawa, and within sight of the Memorial Chamber of sacred memories, a Govâ€" ernment harrassed by financial worries did not hesitate to "Break Faith," and only the efforts of The Associated Vetâ€" erans of Canada restrained them from the breach of a nation‘s pledge. It is true that later it was stated by the Government that such was not the inâ€" tention. but it can never be wiped out. Membership "This is the time when every eligible exâ€"service man or woman should reaâ€" lize that without organized protection their pension and treatments benefits are in danger of being lost forever. It took years of effort and sacrifice of many of our comrades lives to obtain the present advantages enjoyed by receiving pensions., The events of the past year indicate clearly that a much greater effort will be needed to retain these benefits in the future. The tenâ€" dency of any Government in times of financial \stress is to reduce expendiâ€" ture and ever since 1931, this has been painfully apparent. The promises and pledges made during the war are largeâ€" ly forgotten, and the sacrifices made by those who served, but little underâ€" stood. of "Sacrifice" from the beginning, and so long as those .who profited by the war are requested to sacrifice their "dividends from blood and sufferng" further sacrifices will be accepted in the traditional spirit of the T. V. S. The Government will profit by rememâ€" bering those who saved Canada and made it a nation at a tremendous sacriâ€" fice to themselves and their depenâ€" dents." "It is clear that with Canada facing a financial conditon as at present, the Government has adopted a policy of restriction in pension matters. "Equalâ€" ity of Sacrifce" has been laid down by the Associated Veterans, and T. V. S. members have never been backward in making sacrifices. â€" Our history. has one is a wealth of valuable information both to the layman and the returned soldier. For general information it is stated that the magazine is published in the interests of the 160,000 tubercular veterans of the Great War. What an amazing revelation to gsome people!

Jones, takes strenuous objection.to the suggestion in an outside newspaper that the twin towns have more than their due share of blindpigs and other illegal places. |The Rouynâ€"Noranda Préess fears that | such article as the one complained of would give the impression that every second house in â€"Noranda and Rouyn is a bootlegging place or worse. In contraâ€" diction to this idea, (‘The Rouynâ€"Noâ€" randa Press says:â€"‘"In all respects these new towns will compare most favourably with the staid old centres of population elsewhere in the province in their respect for and insistence upon law observance, and the six police offiâ€" lcers entrusted with law enforcement are strict, courteous and conscientious in the performance of their duties. In years long gone by new mining camps Kere looked upon as ‘centres where law violations were rampant, where vice land gun drawng were part of comâ€" munity life and where might was law. That has not been tru2 either of Onâ€". tario or Quebec mining camps. They have been opened up by men of these provinces .who themselves have the highest regard for the traditions of British justice and the necessity for law enforcement to uphold and mainâ€" tain it, and they are populated for the most part by people of the same type. Life and property are as safe here as anywhere in Canada. Canadians themselves predominate in all the minâ€" ing towns, .and, steeped in the best traditions of British Justice, they would not tolerate conditions which would outrage decency or render life or proâ€" perty unsafg. _ The police_and other authorities responsible for law enâ€" forcement and the administration of justice are men of probity, who know the law and can be trusted to enforce it fearlessly and mete out evenâ€"handed Jjustice. _ It is well that these facts should be made known, just as it is very regrettable that any reputable newsâ€" paper should lend ts columns for the circulation of statetnents that are not founded on facts and are most harmâ€" ful in the impressions they create."

Word from Matheson last week was to the effect that Ben Slee had his face injured on Monday last in an auto acciâ€" dent while on his way home to Shillingâ€" ton from Timmins.

NORANDA AND ROUYN SAID TO BE STAID AND ORDERLY SHILLINGTON MAN HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT LAST WEEK â€"W,. A. Devine ¢ â€"30 _ Interviewed in North Bay the Hydro engineer declined to specify definitely the points where he expects to develop a market the 200,000 surplus horse powâ€" er under development at the Abitibi Canyon. He stated however, that it was the intention of the Hydro to go out aiter the mining business. In the northern gold fields, naturally, progress is handicapped by the life of mine conâ€" tracts held by the Northern Canada Power Corporation with the establishâ€" ed gold producers. In several new fields, including Swayze, however, there are definite prospects for a new and growing demand for power for mining purposes for several years. No decision has been made as yet regarding the definite location of a cross country transmission line for disâ€" tribution of Canyon power from the main transmission line extending beâ€" tween the Canyon and Copper Cliff. TIMELY HINT AS TO WHAT THE WORLD OWES EACH MAN The following little editorial note from The Powassan News last week has a timely and homely good sense and logic that makes it well worth general consideration:â€" "The world owes a man a living," is a popular catch phrase, but it‘s up to every man to do his own collecting. For instance nature provides the berâ€" ries, but the people must do the picking. Milverton Sun:â€"A man may be hapâ€" py today and married tomorrow. Hydro Looking for | New Market in North The Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission has two or three "live prospects" in view as customers for Abitibi Canyon power in the gold min«â€" ing fields, according to Ronald Starr, engineer in charge of the sale and disâ€" tribution of MHMydro Electric power in Northern Ontario. The cost of Hydro Power to new deâ€" veloping mines will no9t likely excéed $35 a horse power, he stated. The price will naturally be fixed to some extent by the distance over which it will have to be delivered.
