Member of Canadian Weekly NewffPaers Association WHITBY, THURSDAY, SEPT. llth, 1930 THE ST. LAWRENCE WÂTERWVAY The remnarks of Col. Hanford ',NacNider, new United States minister to Canada, with reference Wo the developmnent of the St. Law- rence Waterway. are very timnely. coming as they dîd on the eve of the opening of a spe- cial session of the parliament of Canada. Col. MlacNî;der made it èlear that his country was ready' and willing to go ahead with the Project, and was waiting for the government of Cafiada to take thi-e next step Io make it a rea1i't:ý. T * flaces the ornus for action fairly and sq u.-.%y on the shoulders of Mr. Bennett. Canada'snew premier. in his election camn- paign, definitely conimitted his party to the developrnent of the St. Lawrence WVaterway, this being one of the large projects which he favored as a means_ of providing a large measure of enployment for the unemployed workers of Canada. It is true, on the other hand, that he was not exactly favorable to joint action %vith the United States on the project, being in favor, rather, of an ail- Canadian development. but it is hard to sec how that idea could be carried out when ini- ternational waters are involved. That, however, ic; a matter for discussion and negotiation. The main thing is to get some action, and it is to be hoped that at the special session of parliamnent the government will have something to offer which will bring about an early start on the project. MWORTH I'NIVERSAL ACCEPTANCE In several of the tewns andi citles of On- tarie, the perioti cf dayflight t;aving bas corne to an end. These au-e mostly placem which ha%,e adopteti lb for the fi"-t lime this year. lau-gel]' as an experirnent. In Toronto, Ons- awa and some ether cornmunities the day- Jigbt saving peuiod ivili continue until Sep- tember 28 when the whole province will again uevert to standard tirne. It la interesting Io note thse comments which are being made in some communities which adopte-d the plan this year for the ifrst time. For instance, the Kitchener Recordi says that ".summer lime" was well receiveti by tise citizens. and th.91 the experiment preveti so successful that lb would be worth adepting agnin next year. The Peterboro Examine;, on the other handi, frankly ex. presses the view thal: "The oniy thing on which there is unani- rfity is the conviction that if thse system were generally followed instead of the patch- work methoci cf the' la.Rt few mummers, there weuld be less confusion andi greater ativantages." Tisis woufld seem te be the general opinion.i More places adopteti dayligbt saving thtis qumnmer than in any year nince the Domin- ion discardeti it as a war measure. Anti public- opinion is growing in its faver. But it will never lxi fully Buccessful until it bW cornes thse uniform practice, Lnd is matie the subject, ef provincial on federal legisiation, rather than belng left, as Bt pruent, in the h ands of local authorities. Before next sum- mer cornes arounti. it would be worth whiie te make an effort to have the provincial leg- isiature or Dominion parliament look wlth fa 'vor on a proposai to do as hasbe-en donc i n Britaîn and Europe, and te make da%- iigbt saving a boon for -the whole Domninion. WORK FOR THE WAR VETERANS P>rericu- Ferguson bas beau widely com- inendeti for bis appointtnent <if Col.

It migbt be pertinent to asic why a returned soldier was flot given preference when -a div- ision clerk was appointed at'Bowmanville recently, although' theré were returned soldier applicants for the position. Before Premier Ferguson sends Col. Rhodes eut te interview other employers of labor, it might be weli for him Wo do a little house-cleaning on bis own account, or, at least. ce-operate with Col. Rhodes in his ef- forts te find work for war veterans by mak- ing an honest and serious effort to have government appointments filleti, as far as possible by war veterans, rather than by men whose only claim te recognition is fiti- elity to a poli tIcal party. NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE Writing in Nation*,,, Business. Gamaliel Bradiford draw a striking picture cf ach- ievement during the nineteenth century, andi among other-developmenLq ha peints te the rise of the phodern newspaper. 4When we compare the news9papeu- of a hundreti years ago %vith that of today." he says. "vwe ap- preciat.. the immen.se subtie influence that bas heen exerted in every phase cf human affair.s." Quite tue. Perbapa. no other fac- tor of civilization bas been more potent. The -newrpaper of today epitomizes human evolution. TI la the chief avenue cf current thought. Tt touches life nt nearly ever' anglep. It has not only kept in step with every aspect cf social and econornic pro»- gress. but the truth must be frankir recog- nized that il bas, on the whole. displayed capable leadership. Tt has stood for worthy ideals. Ail newspapers were once fiercely parti- san, and a general election was net nec"s- sau-y t tel us that many are still so. But the drift has been toward relative indepen- dence. 'An n ncompu-om isingly partisan journal is precisely lite ai, uncomproTils- ingly partisan indi,.idual, in thse sense that it se"s but one Pide of an issue. There are usualiy twe aides.
