The Bata Shoe Company, worldâ€"famous makers of footwear, whose headquarters were in Czechoâ€" slovakia, are among the many industries anxious | ; to reâ€"build their businesses in other lands than those under Nazi rule. The Bata Co. sells some }( shoes in Canada, and also wishes to extend its . business in other British countries. Already it has |, a branch in Britain, and having a sales branch in | ; Canada under Canada‘s law, the company is anxâ€" ; ious to establish a factory in this country. To do this, it is necessary to bring to Canada some 250 |, Czechoslovakiansâ€"technicians, engineers, shoeâ€" | 4 makers.. With these keymen, the company would | give employment to several thousand Canadians.|, This looks like a special chance for Canada, parâ€" !‘ ticularly as the great part of the product of the proposed factory would be goods for export. | Apparently strong opposition has developedi‘ against the proposal. And the Dominion Governâ€"| ment is following its wellâ€"known policy of mas-' terly inactivity in the matter. What do the people ‘ of Canada think of this attitude. All here arei anxious to assist in any way the persecuted people | of Czechoslovakia, if that may be done wlthouti injury to Canadians. If it may be done with beneâ€" ; fit to this country, even the King Government should be able to rouse a little enthusiasm for | the proposal. | It is noted that the Leadership League is de-i manding action from the Government, or explanâ€" ation for its inaction. Judith Robinson who writes a daily column for The Globe and Mail, is not| content to condemn the Government‘s inaction but she takes up each argument against the plan | and in slang phrase "puts the boots to it." Miss | Robinson interviewed the head of the Canadian Bata Shoe Company, and presents his side of the | case so effectively that there does not seem to be | any case for the other side. She states that thei Bata Shoe Co., is prepared to give a bonded and | fully guarded undertaking that all the rules andl laws o fCanada will be strictly observed, that the‘ company will guarantee to pay as good or better. wages than any other Canadian boot concern, that f work hours and conditions of employment will be as good, or better than other concerns in the same line. Not content with this broad guarantee, Miss Robinson investigated the record of the Bata Shoe Co. in Britain, and found it stood well with the unions, and enjoyed the distinction of paying better wages, and providing better conditions than the unions or the law required. The establishment of a factory by this concern would not only mean employment for thousands of Canadians but it would also mean an impetus to general business, as well as a new market for the farmers not only in the way of hides, but also in general products. If the Government allows this opportunity to slip by, there will be as muth exâ€" plaining to do as in regard to the royal tour ¢f Canada. | ( TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Week!y Newspaper Association; Ontarileâ€" Qurbec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by : GEO,.

The North Bay Nugget sees nctable opportunity‘ for the North in the matter of the development of the china clay beds believed to be north of‘ Cochrane. The Nugget endorses what The Adâ€" vance has said on this particular, and believes that the Northâ€"Ontarioâ€"Canadaâ€"will miss opportunity if the matter is allowed to rest. Beâ€" fore the extension of the railway was built north ; of Cochrane there was much said about the numâ€" | ber and extent of the deposits of china clay north of Cochrane. It was said that the quality of thei clay was unequalled elsewhere. There were naturâ€" ally visions of large industries built in the North | from these china clay deposits The hopes were all the greater because it was known that only | two or three places in the world had deposits of I this quality of china clayâ€"a quality used for the finest of white chinaware. By the way it is inâ€" teresting to note that the many beautiful fashions in coloured chinaware have been built up in the: United States and elsewhere, because of the lack of this particular quality and colour in china clay. Naturally, when the railway was built and there was time to spare for doing something about the china clay deposits, there was much disappointâ€" ment because nothing was done. The very points ‘that seemed special advantages proved to be drawbacks. It seemed as a matter of fact, that because this quality of fine clay was so rare, little was known about it, and Canadian and British concerns did not appear to be anxious to take it up. In any event there was no real attempt at development. When disaster came to Czechoslovakia at the hands of the Nazis, The Advance believed it saw opportunity for Canada to help a few of the perseâ€" cuted people and at the same time, perhaps deâ€" velop a notable new industry for Canada. The Czechoslovakians have shown themselves wonderâ€" Ohe Yormupine Advaner PAE POUR PUTTING THE ROOTS TO THEM SEES OPPORTUNITY at" stt P PA P y P ‘ The point that impressed The Advance was that the action of the Nazis had dispossessed groups of men unusually skilled and expert in potâ€" tery work and allied linesâ€"men who had science as well as artâ€"men who know the business from ‘one end to the other. The world was wondering \what these skilled.men could doâ€"where they could go. It seemed a natural question to ask, "Why not ‘\bring them to Canada, to the North Land?" Why ‘not have them investigate the possibilities of the china clay deposits, for example? â€"If there was the makings of an industry in these deposits, ‘these men would know. If it were possible to \develop an industry, these would be the men most ilikely to succeed, because they would be fired by impulse that would make for success, AS \well as fully equipped for the work. ful experts in the pottery arts. Indeed it was their skill and success in these lines that tempted Cierman greed and the impetus to robbery. From both the standpoints of art and of skill in manuâ€" facturing, the Germans were unable to compete with the Czechoslovakians. Even in the Sudetan, where the majority were of German origin it was the Czechoslovakian who supplied the brains and the skill and the management in industry. There At the present time, Canada has a number of Czechoslovakians. There are several hundred in Timmins. They have shown themselves a partiâ€" cularly fine class of citizens. Some years ago when the Czechoslovakian consul visited Timmins, it was statedâ€"and provenâ€"that not one of the Czechoslovakians resident here had ever been in police court for any crime, or even for a misdeâ€" meanor. Investigation proved them to be experts at minding their own affairs, looking after themâ€" selves, and observing the laws and conventions of the community in very agreeable way. They made practically ideal citizens, so why not secure of few more of them, with the chance of founding a new and important industry, as well as developâ€" ing the resources of Canada. In commenting on the matter, The North Bay Nugget points out that Ontario simply must get down to something practical to solve the unemâ€" ployed problem and stimulate business. In the proposal to bring the Czechoslovakian experts here, The Nugget sees an excellent chance for the Northâ€"for Canada. What Canada needs in more! population to carry its railway problem and its growing load of taxation. But Canada appatrâ€" enly cannot maintain its present population. The answer, of course, is that new industries must be established. Acase like that of the development of the china clay of this North would not interfere with present industries. Instead, it would be a new oneâ€"giving employment, making more busiâ€" ness. It could be guarded right from the beginâ€" ning from all abuses and so restricted and watched that it would be a clear gain to the North and to Canada. In is an odd trait of human nature how people will overplay their luckâ€"take undue advantage of a good thingâ€"with the final result that they lose everything. The. trouble is however, that those who play fair have to suffer with those who overâ€" do a good thing. Indeed, it often seems as if the innocent were in the end the worst sufferers. Take the case of the present drive against anyâ€" thing approaching a lottery. Probably, if there had not been so many abuses of the law‘s blindâ€" ness to this particular issue, the present aaitation {might not have occurred. As it is it seems that it [is the ordinarily lawâ€"abiding and publicâ€"spirited who are feeling the hardest edge of the new law lenforcement,. ’ j Another illustration may be found in the game laws and their observance. From Temiskaming there comes stories of shameful defiance of the law in regard to excessive catches of fish in Lake Temiskaming. According to The Haileyburian the abuses have reached a stage where something has to be done. One means of evasion of the law 1s done by Ontario people on the Quebec side, with the claim that Ontario authorities can do nothing as the fish are from Quebec waters. Instead of getting away with this, the offenders have been warned that information will be given the Quebec authorities, and this will likely result in Ontario people being completely debarred from fishing in Quebec waters. That would be a sad case of the results of overplayed luck. * ga*~ In thinking of harsh restrictions developing from abuses by the thoughtless and the greedy, the natural first thought is in regard to the liquor laws. There is a general belief that abuse of opâ€" portunity angd privilege in years past did more than anything else to bring on prohibition. It might be well for the Ontario Liquor Commission and the provincial government to give some considerâ€" ation at the present moment to this idea. It is a very easy matter to overdo a good thingâ€"to overâ€" play the luck. The case of the plan to establish a beer parlour at Sunnyside, Toronto, seems to be a silly sample of overdoing a good thing. Sunnyâ€" side is a residential section, with its chief feature a piay place for childrenâ€"for families. It is the sort of place that doesn‘t need a beer pariourâ€" should not have a beer parlour.

It would seem, indeed, as if no one wanted it, except the people who are building the beverage room preâ€" mise§, and the Ontario Liquor Commission. The latter has made the dictatorial statement that a license will be granted, despite all the objections. There is such resentment against the proposal that The Globe and Mail indirectly emphasizes its oldâ€"time motto, "that the truly loyal citizen will not advise nor submit to arbitrary measures." In other words, the Liquor Commission will be overâ€" playing its hand if it forces that beer room on Sunnyside, and there need be no surprise if the people swing to the attitude that if a beer parlour is to be forced where it is definitely not wanted, extreme measures may be necessary to right the wrongâ€"that if there is no other way of abolishâ€" ing that objectionable beer place than by doing away with them all, then the latter action is preâ€" ferable to submission. 14 Pine St. N Transients continue to drift in and out of Timâ€" minsâ€"at the rate of several hundred each week.

OIL Last week Mr. Arthur Filmer called attention to a serious matter for all who attend the World‘s Fair at New York or otherwise plan a visit to the United States and hope to bring back some souâ€" venirs of the visit without paying duty on them. Mr. Filmer was under the impression (as most people were) that $100 worth of goods could ve brought back to Canada without paying duty. He found that this was far from the fact, and rightly suggests that Canadian visitors to the U. S. A. should be forewarned. The best way is to get a list of the articles exempt from dutyâ€"and then be prepared to pay the duty anyway. For travelâ€" lers it must be a peadachc. but for others it is a laugh. A mantel radio worth $190 is free, but a console radio at half price must pay full duty. A rug is free if folded, but dutiable, if rolled. Exemption is given on curtains, draperies and expensive household appliances, but a roll of wall â€" paper or a ten cent electric switch must pay the duty. A tire is free when it‘s off the car, but dutiâ€" able if on. Ashcans are free, but garbage burners must pay. Cots don‘t cost duty, but beds do, and customs officers have their own ideas about when a cot is a bed. Mirrors and mops are free, but garâ€" den tools and garden hose must pay. The customs officials must have had a happy time drafting the exemptions and more fun enforcing the reguâ€" lations made. 50â€"52â€"54 Timmins FPOR RENTâ€"Four roomed house, with bathroom ; immediate possession.
