Again The Advance would ask the question:â€" Why not use present opportunity to assist in the develogment of the North‘s china clay deposits? North of Cochrane there are large deposits of china clay reported. It is several years since these deposits were first reported by competent authoriâ€" ties. The quality of the clays is said to be superior to most known bodies of the kind. Some years ago it was said that the deposits north of Cochâ€" rane were only equalled by two other fields, one owned by British interests and the other by Czechoslovakia. Perhaps, because the deposits were not common, there has been delay in develâ€" oping them. At the present time, conditions in the world seem to present an ideal opportunity for the speeding up of the development of the North‘s china clay deposits. In the use of this material, Czechoslovakia was one of the leaders of the world. In recent months Czechoslovakia has been robbed of its pottery and allied indusâ€" tries, The Germans who stole these industries, however, find themselves unable to carry them on with the same success as was shown by the Czechoâ€" slovakian experts. This means that the field for these wares is open in the world. At the same time the Czechoslovakian experts who made a success of the industries in their own country have been driven from the field by the Nazi despoilers. Why not bring to Canada a few of these experts and have them take up in earnest the development of the deposits north of Cochrane? Why not transâ€" plant the Czechoslovakian industries in this line to Canada? There is every reason to believe that the Czechoslovakian experts would make a sucâ€" cess of it. They would be inspired by many special impulses. If they could not develop the industries here, it would only be because such development was impossible. It would not cost much to try the planâ€"a few thousand dollars wougd determine the question beyond doubt. It would appear to be a mistake to delay the matter until the Czechoslovakian experts find other fields of epdeavour. Canada has already a number of people from Czechoslovakia and has found them excellent citizens. Timmins has it quota of these New Canadians and has every reason to be satisâ€" fied with these good people. The way in which the Bata Shoe Company is planning and progressâ€" ing in regard to the establishment of a shoe facâ€" tory in Canada is evidence of the enterprise and business ability of these people. Canada needs new industries, more population of the right type, more work for the people here. The opportunity presénted by present conditions should be acceptâ€" ed at once and to the fullest extent. There was once reason to believe that all the jokes on the Irishmen were made by impecunious Englishmen in Fleet Street, London, that jokes on the negro were the work of the Irish, and that all the German jokes were made by witty Frenchâ€" men or Frenchâ€"speaking Belgians. But for many years it has been known for an uhquestioned fact that all the jokes about the Scottish have been made by the Scottish folk themselves. Tradition has it that there is a large factory in Aberdeen where all the genuine Scottish jokes are made by wholesale and shipped all over the world. The ingredients are free but there is a regular scheâ€" dule of prices for the different types of jokes. The meaner the Scot in the joke the higher the price. The story of the meanest Scot has not yet been released, because other nations are all too mean to pay the price for that one. It may also be noted that the Scots are the world‘s leaders in coâ€"operation and Scots all over the world gather up all the Scottish jokes going the rounds, and when they are worn out in one locality they ship them back to the Aberdeen factory to be polished up again and issued once more to a simâ€" ple world at the regular rates. Scots the wide wo’x}d over never hesitate to make a joke or pass along a joke at their own expense because they know that soonerâ€"or later it will land in the Aberâ€" geen factory for revitalizing and then honest Scots will have a chance to make an honest penny fram it. In recent years there has been a tendency on the part of Scots and other intellectuals to look for the Aberdeen trademark on any joke about the‘ Scots. Accordingly, there was some puzzleâ€" ment last week when despatches from overseas told the story of the German poet, Will Vesper, and his attitude to the Scots. Was this a genuine Scots joke? Or was it the evil work of some humorous Sassenach? The only way to deterâ€" mine the true inwardness of the matter is to disâ€" sect the whole joke, take it up clause by clause, follow its logic, and then decide whether it be true or '[alse. No ordinary joke can stand that preâ€" cedu®g, But nothing can kill the true Scots joke. Bubscription Rates Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher wWHY NOT TRY THE PLAN? United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Yea: It is in Nazi Vesper‘s proposal that Germany !ban all jokes against the Scottish that the Scots will see the complete lack of Scots humour, howâ€" ‘ever. The Scots people never had any sensitiveâ€" ness about the jokes at their expense. Such jokes them nothingâ€"and bring in a revenue. The |Scots know they are good jokes because they ‘make them themselves. The Scots know that it lis an intelligent worldâ€"because the Scots are all tover it. Consequently, the world must see that if it is a joke to say that the Scots are mean, for exâ€" ample, then the truth must be that the Scots are generousâ€"probably freeâ€"handed would be a betâ€" | ter word. ' In the statement of Will Vesper that "the Scots are the last sound national strength that still exists on the British Isles," Sco,t.s will see that here is no Scots humour. The word "last" is enâ€" tirely unnecessary. No Scots humorist would have imserted it. Any good Scot will admit that there are a few splendid Englishmen and brilliant Irishmen and a host of gallant Canadians and enterprising Australians and brave men and woâ€" men of other nationalities in the Empire. In a generous moment the Scot might even agree that the Empire might get along without the Scots, but he would have to admit that it wouldn‘t get along so well.; But the German wpo thinks that the Empire is decadent, except for the Scots, is no poet, no humoristâ€"but just plain fool. It must be admitted that this Will Vesper does approach the humorous when he suggests that the Jews are at the bottom of most of the jokes spread about the Scots. He claims that the Jews hate the Scots and use the medium of jokes to defame them.; "That is reason enough," this proâ€" fessing poet séys, "for us and our press no longer to provide foolish jokes to the advantage of these Jewish proselytes. Therefore, away with jokes about the Scots." As a matter of fact, the Jews and the Scots are friends the world over. Why shouldn‘t they be? Both their histories go back to the flood, the Jews being saved in Noah‘s Ark, and several of the Scottish clans, according to Scottish tradition having boats of their own. Scots and Jews the world over have always exâ€" changed jokes. If this barter stopped at jokes, there may be a reason. It is true that there are no Jews in the joke factory at Aberdeen, but at the same time many a good joke on the Jews has been told by a Jew to a Scotsman and later has travelled back to the factory at Aberdeen to be dressed up in the kilt and returned to the world as a joke on the Scotsâ€"and duly charged for. It This Germanic Will Vesper is quoted as saying that the "Scots are the healthiest, most respectâ€" able and most Germanic people in the Britisn Isles." No true Scot would say thatâ€"even in 'joke. They are far too modest and unassuming for that. No humourous Scot would boast about his health or respectability any more than he would flaunt the beauties of Scotland in the face of the rest of the miserable world. These are things the world must know without the telling, or the world must be stupid, indeed. The farthest any Scot would go in reminding the world of the facts suggested would be no more than a gentle hint, like than contained in the Scotsman‘s prayer. where the Scots are casually referred to as "God‘s own chosen people." As for the Scots being "Gerâ€" manic‘ that is ridiculous. The Scots were a culâ€" tured and progressive people when the Germans were mere savages, little better than they are to-: day. Seriously, it may be added that no nation; on the face of the earth is as little “Germanic"i or "Nazi" as the Scottish, who in their hearts love; freedom and independence above all else, and hate regimentation and tyranny to the very death. was a genial Jew in Timmins who used to tell the story of the Scotsman and Jew who went into partnership in business and both went blindâ€"â€" trying to watch each other. More than once since then that story, dressed in different tartans, has brought revenue to the factory at Aberdeen. If the idea of the German poet is to create aniâ€" mosity between the Jew and the Scot, he will fail dismally. The Scot and the Jew understand each other, respect each other, appreciate each other. They know that there is room enough in the world for both of them, though it may crowd things a little for the duller nations. As to banning jokes on the Scots in Germany that would be the culminating ignominy for the German people. The people of Germany have been robbed of freedom, of property, of the best of life. There is no need to consider the sensitiveâ€" ness of the Scots in the matter. The Scots "can take it"â€"have taken it for generations. If Scotâ€" tish jokes are banned in Germany it will not be for any consideration for the Scots, but for all lack of consideration for the poor oppressed Gerâ€" man people. man people. | _ Ridu, riduâ€"ho, ho, ho! a To sum it all up, this proposal of the Nazi Vesâ€"| Plorado estas cana; per does not bear the hall mark of Scottish Tutkore riduâ€"ho,ho, ho! mour, but there is reason to suspect that it will; Kaj citm restu sana. travel round and round and eventually land in!
