The Leadership League continues to publish a long list of the problems of Canada, but the fact seems to be that the problem of unemployment is the most pressing of all, and to solve this single problem would give an answer to most of the other questions. In any event if the employment question were solved all the other problemsâ€"even that of taxationâ€"would at least be bearable. As repeated so often in The Advance there is only one real remedy for unemployment. That is Work. This work has to be found, or created It is true that it would prove more economical and permanently desirable if industry and business could be speeded up so that employment would come along natural channels. That, however, has proved a vain hope. Conditions have been such in recent years that every action and attitude of governments has tended to stifle and harass in- 'dustry and commerce. High taxation has decreasâ€" ed building operations to an extent greater than any advantage from government housing acts. At the same time it should be admitted that gov- ernmental action in regard to home improvement plans and helps to home buildings have been of unusual service, largely because they do fill the pressing need of creating new employment and thus starting the chain that benefits all. Admitting the benefit of indirect methods of creating employment simply emphasizes the need for the more. direct plans of making work. With hundreds of thousands of men without work, and with the increasing streams of young men and young women passing through schools and colleg- es to join the throngs looking for work, something assuredly should be done, and done on a large scale, to create employment. The recent announce- ments of millions to be spent for roads. bridges, public buildings. conservation and other public projects are most encouraging. These govern- mental expenditures will mean employment for thousands. This will result in the conferring up- onJarge groups of men and women a new feel- ing of hope, of independence, of usefulness. It will improve the morale of the whole country to an extent that may be difficult for many to real- ize at the moment. All this is excellent. But the matter should not be allowed to rest at this point. The plans should be extended to give all an opportunity for the belief that there is useful- ness and service and place for them in Canada. It will be money well invested to work to this end. Most of the cost 0 f enterprise along this line will be found in the end to be actually de- ducted from the cost of relief. In any event the country will have value for its moneyâ€"~value in public works and services, and. above all,‘value in improved morale. The statistical departments of the govern- ments have done excellent work in counting the numbers of unemployed. Other departments should now be handed these figures and given the job of seeing that work is provided for every single unemployed individual. Granted, it is an impressive problem! Canada will be unworthy of itself if it continues to refuse to face the full prob- lem and solve it. regardless of the apparent cost. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, March 30th Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year. Jt is the matter of apparent cost of providing employment that appals most people, and partiâ€" cularly governments, when the question is faced. It will be found. however, that one line of em- ployment actually creates so much employment in other lines. that eventually the problem will commence to solve itself. The big thing is to get the plan going on so large a scale that its own momentum will smash the evil chain that has bound the people of Canada in recent years. Di- rect relief has cost the country a staggering a- mount far beyond what the most pessimistic ex- pected. There is reason to believe that in the final the creation of employment will cost the country much less than most people fear now. To those who may say that any scheme compre- hensive enough to kill unemployment would bankrupt Canada. the answer is that to continue the present. drifting will mean worse than bank- ruptey. It is not too much to say that no cost could possibly be too great to place Canada back on the basis of industry, contentment and pro- gress that will result when all her sons and daugh- TWNS.

The government’s excuse for ig- noring the North in the matter of the King’s tour of Canada is that the railway line from Na- kina to Hearst is not in condition to be safe for travel by the royal train. The people are travel- ling on that line. however, and that seems far from right. The record of the British royal fam- ily for many generations is proof conclusive that the King would not have it so. To the present King his people’s'interests and his people’s safety are the first consideration. The record shows that it would be the King's first wish that the railway line from Nakina to Hearst should be made safe for the peOple. Why not see that it is immediately made safe and secure for the people? Thus the King could safely travel over it on his coming tour of Canada. ique rental to be paid to His Majesty. Probably there will be particular consideration for the “two black beavers," now so rare and precious. This will naturally drift the thoughts to beavers nearer home, beavers that have brought interest and pleasure to the pe0ple of the Porcu- pineâ€"the beavers in isolated colonies in this im' mediate district. There will be general hope that they will not be wiped out of existence during the present Open season for trapping beaver, and that the Department of Fish and Game will be able to devise ways and means for the future to protect such centres of interest and education as these isolated beaver colonies have proved to be. Some form of sanctuary or reservation might well in the general interests be proclaimed in regard to harmless and inoffensive wild animals in areas near towns in this North. It was the gifted Scottish poet who summed up practical loyalty in the lines: “Who will not sing, ‘God Save the King’ “Shall hang as high’s the steeple. “But while we sing, ‘God Save the King’ “Let’s not forget the people!” Loyal British people may emphasize the first two lines of this verse, but the King by his deâ€" votion and sacrifice has evidenced the stress he places on the last two lines. With the traitorous seizure of Czechoslovakia. some believed the end of the pillaging and mur- der had been reached. There was the specific pledge of Hitler that he desired no further addi- tions to his territory in Europe, but more recent events have shown Hitler to be without principle or shame so far as his pledges are concerned. The record shows that Hitler’s word is less than noth» ing. The plundering of the remnant of Czecho- slovakia, the threat to Rumania, the seizure of Memel, the menace to Dantzigâ€"all these indicate that Hitler intends to continue his wholesale highway robbery of nations. Despatches from Europe this week are most disquieting. From Berlin come stories of alleged persecution of German nationals in Poland, suggesting that Ger- many is building a case on which to base excuse for an attack on Poland. From Brussels come de- spatches reporting improper use of German broadcasting stations in propaganda to stir up trouble in Belgium and to interfere in the affairs of the Belgian kingdom. From Switzerland there are reports of German propaganda and activities to pave the way for assault upon the Swiss people. How far will Hitler go? Will “Stop Hitler!" be an adequate term? One reader of The Advance last week thought “Stcp Hitler" should be changed to the more fitting phrase. “Arrest Hitler!” Condi- tions call more and more for the “arrest" of Hit- ler. the use of a straight jacket, and the re~ arrangement of the map of Europeâ€"not along Hitler linesâ€"but along the lines of decency, de- mocracy and freedom. able gift to the K Hudson’s Bay Com] feature throughout a personal pride in Bay Company and ique rental to be p Probably there w for the “two blacl precious.

She referred to their invasion without due excuse or colour of right of Ethiopia. Austria. Czechoslovakia, China and other countries. So long as civilization per- mits such brutal aggression, she said, there can be no safety, no security, no justice and no peace on earth. Like many other summarizations in her address, this is something well worth earnest consideration. Where is it all to end? Can any- thing be done about it? SGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"~AND PLACERE Last year's automobile license plates were so illegible and indistinct that they actually placed a premium on hit-and-run driving. Though this serious error in the design of the 1938 markers was pointed out at the very outset of their use. the government through sheer obstinacy refused to recall the plates and issue new ones.

This year complaint is made that the markers for trucks for 1939 are defective. Police and others have commented on the diffi« culty of reading the numbers on trucks. One trouble is that the rear markers are not all set in the one place. Before the plates are located the truck has travelled so far away that the num- bers cannot be distinguished. Larger markers with a definite location for them is suggested. The government should take immediate steps to remâ€" edy the matter, and there should be no repetition of the stubborn support of error evidenced in re~ gard to last year's car markers. A taxi driver’s lot is not a happy one. especially in North Bay. Toronto. Sudbury and some other places. Recently taxi drivers in the cities men- tioned have suffered much. These taxi drivers have been unable to carry passengers without be- ing in danger of being assaulted or kidnapped, or both. They could not carry a little liquor in their cars withouut being menaced by the peril of be- ing arrested. This week a North Bay taxi driver was found in his car with only his pants and his boots left to cover him. He had been beaten up and was so hysterical that he had to be hand- cuffed to quiet him. He could not remember what had happened to him after he had started away with some passengers to take them to a hockey match. He lost his overcoat, his coat. his vest. his shirt, his money and his memory. There will have to be a closed season declared for North Bay taxi drivers. Denies Any Communism In The Gold Belt Band An emphatic denial that his bana 'as Communist or had anything to do with Communism was given by James Walsh, “Conductor of the Gold Bolt Band at a ccnfezence of‘ sand leadcis and the Town Council on Monday afternoon.

A Sudbury man on relief had taken pity on this Toronto fellow and had fed and housed him for five days, believing that this George King was in dire straits. On the morning of the sixth day the Toronto fellow took ten dol- larsâ€"all the Sudbury man had in the world to care for himself and wife and four children until he received his next relief payment. Eventually the police were able to locate this mean thief. They found him in a hotel in company with a bottle of wine. A case like this is enough to rob people of all faith and trust in human kind. To know that there are men so mean, so ungrateful, so brutal, so selfish, as to steal the very last cent from the kind-hearted poor is enough to shatter belief in humankind. It is not a good thing to consider overmuch. It is better for humanity's sake to think of the other side of the pictureâ€"the fact that a man on the very verge of destitution himself would share the meagre little that he had with one he believed to be in still worse straits than himself. The police commission is being given a graphic illustration of what the police had to face before the council pretended to transfer administration of police affairs to the commission.
