Timmins, Ont Exchanges tell of an ultra modern barber shop in Montreal, where the effort is to give perfect and complete service. There is no definite proof furnished that at this particular Montreal barber shbp a man is able to get a haircut or a shave. But it is stated that manicure service is featured. There are baths in connection with the barber shop, so the client may be cleaned in more ways than one. Of course, he can have the service of a shoe shine, even to the extent of taking off his boots for .the operation. Indeed, the shedding of raiment appears to be a speciality at this Monâ€" treal barber shop, the notices in the newspapers saying that special robes are provided, as well as a aressingâ€"or undressingâ€"room, where a man may take off his suit and have it pressed while he waits. The newspaper accounts fail to mention that the underwear may also be removed and the barbers will launder it while the suit is being steamed and creased. Consider that Montreal barber shop as described in the journals of the day:â€"Boots cleanâ€" ed, nails manicured, pants creased, coat pressed, vest cleaned, shirt laundered, hat blocked, underâ€" wear deodorized. It sounds exclusive enough to be one of those modern city drug stores.

It is interesting to read IromI time to time the estimates made as to the cost of direct relief in this country. . Cabinet ministers | who held up their hands in horror at the idea of Canada spending $150,000,000 for public wor}cs toi make ditect relief unnecessary have been known | to say in later years that direct relief has cost Canada $175,000,000, $200,000,000 and other large sums that roll easily off the tongue. ' Publiée men and public newspapers in a posiâ€"| tion to:make a fairly accurate estimate of the cost of direct relief have placed the amount as low as $250,000,000, and as high as $1,500,000,000. It| is not even certain that the actual figures lie beâ€" tween these two extremes. In an address at Lonâ€" daon last week Hon. Dr. Manion, leader of theâ€" Naâ€" tional Conservative Party, is quoted as stating casually that direct relief to date has cost Canad2i some $8600,000,000. Dr. Manion should be in posiâ€" tion to learn and know the facts. But The Globe and Mail promptly replies that Dr. Manion‘s estiâ€" mate is too conservativeâ€"that he has not includâ€" ed the expenditures by provincial and municipal bodiesâ€"that the total cost of direct relief in Can-l ada to the present actually exceeds $800,000,000.' | | | i ! | | The Globe and Mail ought to know. Yet, it would be a hope{ul man who would believe that the figure wili be allowed to remain, even for the immediate present, at a paltry $800,000.000. Before unemployment became one of the major problems of Canada, relief was not a matter of any vital concern. It is true that t.hc'policy of drift and waiting for miracles has resulted in such conditions in Canada that toâ€"day even the com-’ plete curing of unemployment would not altoâ€" gether remove the curse of direct relief. At the same time it is not too much to say that unemâ€"| ployment has been the chief cause of the nced{ for relief. and if unemployment could be fully wipâ€" | ed out, direct relief would fade away. Some need for relief might remain if there were useful places for ail, but so closely is the lack of work | interwoven with the need for direct relief, that the nation would be well on the way to being able to drop relie{ the minute the great majority of the people were back at work at fair pay. The Advance can see no other remedy for unâ€" employment and for direct relief except the offer‘ of work â€"the creation of work. There are inâ€" numerable works in Canada fairly crying out to be done. Why not by coâ€"operation and considerâ€" ation get these works under way at once? Up to date the chief argument against this plan has | been the matter of cost. "To set everybody atl work would take a hundred million dollars, two hundred million dollars, three hundred million dollars." the gentiemen say. They have as many| estimates for this, as are given for the cost of direct to date. i Why no definite, c actual cos the Burses statement able.

From the standpoint of Canadian literature and culture the result is deplorable, but in addition there is a serious economic loss. The suspension of The Canadian Magazine, and of each of the others, means more unnecessary uncimploymeut for Canadians, with consequent added depression to business. Accordingly, from both the nationaul cultural and economicâ€" standpoints the loss is more serious than many realize. That this arises not only from passive neglect on the part of the government, but also from active opposition withâ€" out compensating benefit to the country, is someâ€" thing that should arouse Canadians to thought and action. why not secure an actual estimate of the real, full cost of relief, and taking a smaller amount of money to expend for the creation of employment for public benefit and for greatly needed works, try a changed method for combatting unemployâ€" ment and reliefâ€"the method of work as a cure for the lack of it. It is an encouraging sign that there has been so much comment, especially in the weekly and semiâ€" weekly newspapers of the country, at the passing of The Canadian Magazine. The weekly and semiâ€"weekly newspapers are close to the hearts and minds of the people of the country and in the suspension of publication they see a distinct naâ€" tional loss. That they voice their opinions, and seek for reasons and causes, indicates a desire to guard Canadian interests and seek the removal Cf causes and forces that are prejudicial to the naâ€" tional interests.

Most Canadians were pleased at the manly, couragcous words of President Roosevelt in whch he put the responsibility for a world war on the shoulders of the dictator nations by offering them the alternative of a peace conference to settle any disputes between the Europecan nations. Some of the pleasure, however, was taken away when it was found that Premier Mackenzie King agreed with President Roosevelt‘s address. It must be admitâ€" ted that the majority of Canadians have an altoâ€" gether different view of Canada‘s place in the Empire and in the defence of civilization than seems to be taken by the country‘s premicr.
