PICNIC General Motors great annual reunion has come and gone, having achieved again the goal of its sponsors of being "bigger and better than any that preceded it, Their success, very likely, was due to the fact that in the effort 'for a new record in proportion, the better things were not neglected. : Bigness is merely a. matter of prescribed routine. Greater appropriations permit more elaborate attractions, and since the days of Imperial Rome the lure of "bread and circuses" has never failed with crowds. But to have a better picnic or anything else where the question of quality is involved, something less simple has to be done and much more time given in preparation, Mere money could not create the spirit which animated the throngs of General Motors employees and their {amilies who enjoyed the celebration on Sat- urday. There was community pride in that vast as- scmblage, a pride of service and comradeship which can exist only where there is mutual confidence between employer and employed. Such a spirit is not created by one day's lav- ish hospitality. It comes from year-round ef- forts at mutual understanding and from day- to-day insistence on a square deal for all, General Motors annual picnic is an event in which all Oshawa takes pride, It is unique in scope at least, while with the children, to whom it is so largely dedicated, it stands as the year's second Christmas, This year's picnic was a success, It was certainly bigger, and one incident alone stamp- ed it as better, The industry's general manager was busy with prize distribution, standing on a platform about which a group of hero-worghipping lads were gathered, These keen-eyed youngsters, all at once it seemed, discovered something amiss: "Mr. Lefebvre," they clamored, "there's a spider on your coat!" These hoys will be General Motors men some day. In their minds they are already a part of the organization, Such eyes, such con- fidence, and such interest will see more than vagrant spiders, They will see not only the defects that detract but the opportunities that perpetuate an industry's success, AN IMPERIALISM OF COMMERCE There was no more striking feature of the address delivered by Hon. James Malcolm, Minister of Trade and Commerce in the Fed- czal Government, at General Motors picnic on Saturday, than his insistence upon the possi- bilities for world trade development which ex- ists within the British Empire. "If I had any doubts before I have none today," he declared, "that the British Em- pire as a whole is the greatest collection of complementary units for the develop- ment of world trade that could be brought together; and that the policy of develop- ing world trade between the various parts of the British Empire will do for Canada and the Empire economically more than any other policy that could be advanced." Such a statement, couched in the language of world economics, and coming from a mem- ber of the Federal Government who was a manufacturer of wide experience before he was induced to enter the cabinet, speaks more fur the essential unity and permanence of the Bri- tish. Empire than reams of flowery eloquence based upon the undebatable question of loy- alty or patriotism. History shows that the laws of economics are framed in the parliament of necessity. There is no appeal from them to a superior court. The greatest of empires have died as a penalty for disobeying them; yet causes, seemingly "lost," have. triumphed at last by observing the basic rules of government which have no more to do with patriotism than has the law of gravitation. Hon. Mr. Malcolm presents the British Em- pire in a new light. Net as an empire alone held together by sentiment and other impalp- able ties, but as a Commonweath of Commerce wherein both the whole.and its self-governing parts may find their greatest hopes of develop- ment--of wealth and enduring prosperity--a PEE TT Vr ? mE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST | - 3, 1927 EU ---- matter of inter-dependent unity and inter-im- perial effort. : JI Napoleon's "nation; of shopkeepers" has grown with the years. His disgusted 'shade, across the Styx, may new read the new sign: "Brittania and Company, General Merchants to the World." TWILIGHT OF THE BULL Time was, in the merry heyday of Spain, when the bull stood for heroism and martyr- dom. Great throngs gathered. at festive arenas to see matadors, picaders, and toreadors goad noble, bulls into frenzy, then kill them, It was a great sport. The throngs laughed and waved mantillas and other Spanish objécts d'art, When the bull fell, part of the thrill to the crowd, no doubt, came in a feeling of fev. erish pity and sympathy for the dumb animal, But now Spain is becoming civilized and has taken up soccer football as a halfway station to. the more humane sports, One ponders a bit on the dumb animals who must compose the soccer teams of old Madrid and Seville. In fact, one comes to the conclusion that it would be pleasanter to be a jay-walking pedestrian than a Spanish soccer player, If the former, one could at least die quietly. It is possible that the players long wistfully for the good old days when the crowds indulged their blood- thirstiness on a bull which did not quite know what it was all about. There is this to be said for Spanish soccer; It is difficult to believe that it will ever inspire an opera ahout an infuriated cigarette girl, her toreador boy friend and a suicidal climax, In the modern sporting history of Spain there can be no such word as suicide, for none of the soccer players, it is believed, will live that long, It is hoped that the bulls, with a heritage " of generations of romantic deeds, will be re. tired to green pastures and the sunlit uplands of Granada and the Basque country, to make up in quiet contentment what has been denied a long line of their ancéstors. SELF INTEREST The most fascinating subject of conversation to the average man is--himself. He likes to mediate upon himself, talk about himself, and be talked about favourably. Which is quite natural, considering the fact that, so far as he is concerned, he is the most important crea- ture on earth, A man's job, his family, his health, his achievement of fortune, his life are the most interesting and vital things in the universe to him. Anyone who can offer light and leading. on these paramount issues is a public bene- factor, He gets a hearing, or a reading. No wonder the average man is a confirmed newspaper reader. The honest and clean jour- nals of: events is an open book revealing the heart and mind of the race. It deals in human interest, It sketches the average man in his universal characteristics. It satisfies his hunger to know about himself, EDITORIAL NOTES Movie matrimonial bonds are of a flimy tex- ture. Most of us had rather be the world's cham- pion talker than the world's champion fighter. We are a queer people, and if sparrows were rare we might be putting up boxes to entice them. The next generation may have no natural resources to exploit, but there always will be, suckers to trim. When it is said of a man that he has no ambition his uselessness in the community is quite well fixed. The small veice of conscience does not al ways have a fair chance against the mega- phone of temptation. Bit of Verse DIRGE FROM "CYMBELINE" Fear no more the heat o' the sun Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages; Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney sweepers, come to dust. Fear no more the frown o' the great, Thou art past the tyrant's stroke; Care no more to clothe and eat; To thee the reed is as the oak; The sceptre, learning, physic, must All follow this, and come to dust. Fear no more the lightning flash Nor the all-dreaded thunder-tone; Fear not slander, censure rash; Thou hast finished joy and moan: All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee, and come to dust. --Shakespeare. a5 oy Yo -- LJ ---- ¥ wr Hu "Hd a v Gathered By Times Brooklin, Aug. 13. -- Everything is being prepared for a big crowd Wed- nes ake 17th, at the community park, on "Field Day."
