TORONTO OFFICE 407 Bond Building, t@ Temperance Street, Tele- phone Adelaide 0107, H. D, 'Tresidder, repre. { = sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, ML SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1928 } BOUGHT AND PAID FOR If there is anyone left who believes in the gincerity of testimonials by celebrities in behalf of cigarettes, or other products, that belief must have received a hard knock from the news story of Amelia Earhart's sporting gift to Commander Byrd to help finance his {Antarctic expedition, Miss Earhart's motive was a fine one and ghe is very frank about it, She says she endorsed the cigarette to get $1,500 to give to Commander Byrd, and that was the only inducement, Nothing is said about the ci- garette, or her real opinion of it, or whether phe has any opinion, or whether she uses ci- garettes, but it is significant that she puts the word "endorsement" in quotes, Here twas a chance to get a little easy money for Bp fine purpose, and she showed good sense in taking advantage of it. If there is any moral turpitude involved, #10 one will judge her harshly--not with the Jong list of moving picture stars, society dames, aviators, channel swimmers, tennis players and home-run kings who have signed various endorsements (usually prepared hy the advertising manager) with no more creditable motive then wanting the money. But Miss Earhart, by the use she made of her $1,600, gives publicity to a fact which everyone connected with advertising and a farge proportion of the public already knew, that these endorsements, so lavishly used in advertising, are bought for a price, have be- hind them no conviction whatever, and do not even involve the use by the sponsor of the article endorsed, And so it is reasonable to ask of what value is such advertising? The advertiser * who pays large sums for these testimonials probably thinks a great proportion of the puying public is still credulous. The sum total of all cigarette advertising, wise and foolish, helps to keep intact the ranks of the cigarette-smokers, and so we have no means of learning, as we might in a more difficult market, just what effect the widely published story of Miss Earhart's testimonial has on the demand. Whatever its effect on cigarette sales, it is certainly B black eye to honest advertising. --E. E. Calkins, | rem THE MELTING POT: A CHALLENGE 4 TO EMPIRE In the third of a series of articles on Na- tion Building, published on this page, The Right Reverend Bishop Lloyd of Saskatche- wan comes to the crux of his argument and the subtle distinction that has been drawn between Canadian and Britisher. He explains that the term "Britisher" applies equally to all who owe allegiance to any coun- try forming 8 unit of the Empire, : The proponents of the open-door policy would have us believe that the combings of Europe make good Canadians--not good Britishers necessarily, but good Canadians. That is where the distinction comes in. Such a distinction is illogical apd invi- dious. These people, as Bishop Lloyd says, grow good potatoes and know how to fight for their own selfish interests. That is all. There their citizenship ends. Their hearts are neither with Canada mor the Empire. What hearts they possess are in the country' of their origin, the explanation being that the quality of adaptability is seldom, it ever, found in those of low mentality. Evi- dence of this is to be found today in scatter parts of Canada where the atmosphere central and southern Europe is maintain. by colonies of immigrants from these places. That sort of thing is a peculiarity of these peoples. They are not natural col- onizers like the English and the Scotch. they are parasites: they do not live for a coun. try, and as part of it, but on it. The United States is the world's outstand- ing illustration of the tragedy of a great country poured into the melting-pot, seek- ing too late to recover the elements of its origin, None knows this better than the 'United States itself. ' The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The way of the transgressor is hard. Truth hurts at times. The corrective medicine which Nature administers to those who err is often hard to swallow. One of the concomitants of error is the unhealthy state of mind which it induces. Chicago is the world's outstanding example of a community fallen upon evil days seek- ing to drag down others to its own level. There is nothing new in this, It is sympto- matic of corruption, of the melting-pot. The trouble is that the disease spreads. Hence we find such a footnote as the following in "Time" (issue of August 13th, 1928) a weekly news magazine which is widely read by the intelligentsia of the United States: ",... almost the sole consolation of mongrel Britons, amid their wholly outlandish state of affairs, is to waggle a finger at the even more poly-national citizens of the U.S. who dwell in proud, luxurious conquest upon the lands of ousted aboriginal Indians." It was ever thus: it is an old story: peo- ple convicted of error seldom point others to a higher level; rather they seek to drag others down to their own level, It is pitiful but true. Let "Time" ponder on the following ex- tract from Bishop Lloyd's present article: "Time and time again we are referred to Eng- land as an example of the benefits of the melt- ing-pot. But the racial elements that went to make up foundation England were remarkable homogeneous. Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes and Normans were all closely allied to each other and to the old English stock, There has been nothing in England's experience to give us any light on our own case (in America)." There is nothing mongrel about the Brit- ish--yet, and there won't be if we awaken to a sense of our responsibilities, It is for us to decide whether Canada shall become an olla-podrida for the peoples of central and southern Europe rejected by the United States, or whether we shall content ourselves «with a slightly slower rate of progress and secure a British stock for which generations yet unborn shall bless us, The eyes of the world are upon Canada today and the British Empire is as much "the envy of less happier lands" now as in the time of John of Gaunt, as depicted by the Immortal Bard, The path of duty is clearly illustrated by Bishop Lloyd and any divergence from that path is a challenge not only to Canadians but to every other compon- ent part of the British Empire, ed of ed EDITORIAL NOTES Patience is bitter, but its fruit sweet, --Rousseau, Every man is a volume, if you know how to read him,--Channing, I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. --Abraham Lincoln, Our hope for eternal life in the hereafter does not spring from a longing for a spirit- ual existence, but grows out of our love of life upon this earth, which we have tried and found good.--Robert J. Shores. Bit of Verse THE VOICE Did you ever think how "Conscience" has the inner slant on you? And commends you or condemns you for most all the things you do, When you do a man a favour you'll most likely hear it say "Jack, you're getting to be quite a man, I'm proud of you to-day." And then you go and spoil it all by giving forth a hint That you've helped some poor unfortun- ate by giving him the Mint; And while you're speculating on the small- ness of your stunt You hear your Conscience saying, "You're a measly little runt." If we would just be guided by the teachings of that Voice, In our intercourse with others, be more cause to rejoice. And when our toil is' over and our work in life is thru, We would hear our Conscience saying, "Boy, I'm kinda proud of you." Bowe n00s 2 --Bichard C. Padden. A there'd the What Others Say TOO LATE (Tom Masson in Collier's) Margot Asquith says that if birth control had been in force before she was born, she*never would have been born. But nothing can be done about this now, ALWAYS CERTAIN (Oshawa Times) All the newspapers peed to do now is reserve a space in their week-end editions for .weckly crashs and ac- cidents. They still continue to mount. RUN BROTHER, RUN! (Brantford Expositor) An Old Country headmaster, of fifty years standing, says that it is freedom from long clothes which has led modern members of the fair sex to become so dominant. If dame fashion decrees that they reduce them still further the only safe place for the avérage male will be under the barn. INSTRUCTION BY FILM (Le Monde Ouvrier) We cannot stop the march of pro- gress and we must f6llow in the foot- steps of science and put ourselves in tune with the times. If we do not want our children to go to the movies, accompanied by their par- ents, in order to be amused, we should at least provide them with means of being instructed through the same medium. THAT MERGER (Los Angeles Examiner) The Chrysler-Dodge merger repre- sents another significant step in automobile manufacturing, which is the most important, profitable and efficient of American industrics, We are provided with a third au- tomobile industrial giant fit to stand alongside Ford and General Motors The new concern, because of its size and its financial streagth, will be a powerful means of extending our. shipments into the foreign field, where we are disposing of nearly one-fifth of our output. Meanwhile, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler-Dodge will have their hands full, both on foreign and do- mestic markets, fighting for business against the aggressive Amcrican in- dependents. BREVITY (The New Outlook) We read, recently, a two-column article on the value of brevity and the writer said that, "the art of public speaking is mainly the art of sitting down." We do not agree with this, for we think that it is vastly more important to have something worth saying than to know 'when to stop; and vet we are sure that many 'a fine speech and many a good article is largely dis- counted by its length, It is sur prising what an amount of paring may he accomplished without touch- ing any essential facts, The trouble is that there is altogether too much padding in what we say or write and it may be omitted without any loss to the force or value of the thought we desire to express, TO FIGHT ' NO DESIRE (Detroit News) When Germany signs the Kel- logg treaties late this month, she will have agreed not to use war as a means of settling internation- al disputes, ' This will not he a hard agree- ment for Germany to make. By the Treaty of Versailles she was practically disarmed, being left with forces no more than large enough for police purposes. Fur- thermore, she was so exhausted that she could not hope to fight, even if she desired to do =o. But the desire was lacking. Her people wanted to go to work, to rebuild | their weakened, starved, unstable | country. In that task they are still en- | gaged; they have reconstructed their government, restored their credit, created a new merchant marine, won back some of their lost markets; and ever, in word and deed, they have kept the peace and have striven to live up to harsh obligations laid on them by the vic- tors in the war. TWO GENERATIONS (The Bystander, London) Every year, no matter who else may be bidden, one guest is always invited to stay on the Royal yacht for Cowes Week. That is the Mar- quise d"Hautpoul, whose close friend- ship with Queen Alexandra and King Edwar dhas been repeated in an equally close friendship with the King and Queen. The Marquise d'Hautpoul is a sis- ter of the Hon. Sir Harry Stonor, who has been one of the King's Grooms-in-Waiting ever since his ac- cession, and before that was Groom- in-Waiting to King Edward and a Gentleman Usher to Queen Victoria. He is a remarkably good shot and is generally included in the King's shooting parties. The Marquise d"Hautpoul and Sir Harry Stonor are aunt and uncle to the present Lord Camoys, the head of one of the oldest Roman Catholic families in the kingdom. The barony of Camoys dates back to the time of the Battle of Agincourt, but it was in abeyance for over four hundred years. His grandson and successor, the Marquise d'Hautpoul's brother, was also a Lord-in-Waiting to Queen Victoria. An interesting history could be written to the services given by individual families to our Sovereigns, services going on from one ggnera- tion to another, but none would be more interesting than that of the Stonor family. When the third Lord Caméys was appointed a Lord-in-Waiting, the bitterness aroused by the Catholic Emancipation Act had not wholly died down, and in uncompromising Protestant quarters the appointment was severely crtiicized. But for the passing of the Act the appointment would have been impossible. Queen Victoria and her advisers set the ex- ample of tolerance and thereby gain- ed the devoted service of two genera- tions of Stonors to herself, her son, aad her grandson. Interesting, isn't J | & At a Glance Apart from the fact that a general weiner roast broke up carly last night, everyone turned up on time this morning. It's a peculiar circum- stance, but it happened. . -. . - A funeral coach in a certain city of the United States is alone in its prominence when it bears the license number "U2. We feel that it wouldn't be fair to leave the gentleman's name out of the paper who was heard to say, as he was passing the office yesterday, that "it's a little colder today." Then some have the argument that it took the good Lord a long time to hear their plea. But you notice that their plea is always for that which is not presemt at the time. . : It's the Little Things That Count Spending your money a little at a time, A nickel in one place, at another a dime, Doesn't seem much, You scarce see it go, And the hole in your bankroll Doesn't readily show; But when you are broke, it's truth for to say It's the small change you squandered that makes you Jhat way. For possibly the first time the city under the auspices of the local Cham- ber of Commerce and General Motors of Canada, Limited, has had the hon- or of entertaining some very distin. guished visitors, The visitors, who are incidentally from Quebec, and most of whom speak French, were quite elated when a program printed in French was presented to them, as well as an elaborate itinerary, LJ * * Gene Tunney seems to be step- ping up into society, what with all these trips abroad, and chats with the Prince. * Nd * The Canadian National Exhibition scems to be a great drawing card to the people of Oshawa. If they pat- yonize their own Fair as well as they do the CN.E, there will be no room for complaint * By the amount of police court news in the columns of this paper during the last five days, we surely must come to the agreement that crime 1s diminishing 'in Oshawa. Perhaps it was because the Magistrate was in attendance at the Police Magistrates Convention At any rate, a couple of cases of breaches of the liquor laws are the only "crimes" that the guardians of the law have to their credit this week » * The Oshawa Daily Times will not be published on Monday. Whether this fact is a delight to the readers' ears or to ours, we would not say, but it still remains that if the paper isn't brought at the rejyular time, don't call the paper boy up, and give him the deuce because he forgot you. LJ * M On the Weather (By Old Ben) : Such a subjik as this one is, is one which requires a great bit or pre- parashun on the part ot a speaker. It has been talked and speaked about for many, many years, and sincerely maintain that it has not yet been talked dry. Because of my be- liefs, 1 am going to assert a few more characteristics into the subjik. So 1 am. Weather, as cveryone knows, has been since the world began. When Adam and Eve were on the world, so was the weather, When Adam was tempted by Eve with the apple, and fell to the supple charms of that lady, the weather changed, so it did. From then on people could not depend on the weather for -any | special occurrence such as a picnic, er a dog-fight, er cock-fight, er any- thing which we count on mainly. Thus the weather passed from the ranks of a peaceable thing to one of uncertainty. It changes its course like a woman changes her mind, and can't be relied upon to strike the right idea in the end anyhow. But what can we do about it? We can't say we're for better weather, because we jus' as likely wouldn' get it. So what's the use of arguin weather on a question that's already settled. * * ¥ d t. So that's tha ~By Renrut. HEAVY BUYING IN GENERAL MOTORS ew York, Aug. 31.--The "bull" at on the New York Stock Ex- change hit a terrific pace today. PrPices of active issues were mark- ed u pto $2 to $15 a share, with nearly threescore touching new high records for the year, Total sales crossed the 4,000,000-share mark for the first time since the termination of the wild specula- tive movement last spring. : Nearly one-tenth of the day's entire business took place in Gen- eral Motors, which rallied more than $8 a share to $203.25. Radio Corporation, which has a much smaller capitalization, rallied nearly $11 a share to $216.25, closing just below the top. Federal Mining and Smelting soared $15 8 share, and Chrysler, Continental Can, Curtiss Aaeroplane, du Pont, International Nickel, National Tea and Wright Aeronautical, all closed with net gains of $5 a share or more. New high records for the year, or longer, were established by such widely diversified issues as Allied Chemical, American Can, American Safety Razor, Anaconda Copper, Coty, Eaton Axle, Household Pro- ducts, Johns-Manville, Kolster Radio, Montgomery-Ward, Norwalk Tire, Savage Arms, Universal Leaf Tobaccéd and Victor Talking Ma- chine. Heavy buying of Loose-Wiles Biscuit was based om reports that a group, headed by Arthur W. Cut- ten, had acquired open market con- trol of the company, as they did in Baldwin Locomotive a couple of years ago, PY | COURT EXPRESSES DOUBT IT SHOULD "HEAR EXPORTERS * Justice Raney Reserves De- cision in Application for Injunction Toronto, Aug. 31. -- Expressing doubt that the courts of Ontario could interefere in disputes between liquor exporters, Justice Raney yes- terday reserved decision on an ap- plication by the Walkerville Brewing Company, Limited, for a continuance of an interim injunction granted by Judge J. J. Coughlin restraining A. Mayrand, J. J. Wells and Americo Thomas de Tomasi from exporting from a certain dock at Petite Cote any beer othc- than Walkerville Brewery beer. / Export Limited to ne Company Under an agreement with the Walkerville Brewing Company, May- rand undertoook to export only that company's beer from his dock. Plain- toffs allege that about ten days ago defendant shipped other brands from his dock. "As I understand it, you are in the rum-running business," said Justice Raney to Waldon Lawr, counsel for the Walkerville Brewing Congpany. "I didn't say that," ounsel replied. Liquor Export Business Justice Raney--You are in the liquor business, then, and you have an agreement with these defendants for the exclusive use-of this dock and lands. You say they have violated the agreement and you come to court to enforce that agreement, Is there any case in the books in which the courts of this Province have inter- fered to assist persons in your busi- ness and to enforce agreements of this kind? Is there any law which permits the court to assist you in furthering something illegal? Mr. Lawr--There is nothing before you to show that it is illegal. Counsel said that © the company made an agreement with the Hydro for building a spur line down to this dock for expediting the export of their beer. Where Does it Go? Justice Raney--Does your beer that voy export go through the United Sthtes customs? "I don't think your Lordship has to inquire as to that," was the reply Justice Raney--I am going to as- sume that your clients are engaged in the liquor export business, and that the exportation of your poods is not through the United States Customs. Get the law, if there is any, for me for ifterference by the courts an agreements between people engaged in that kind of business. The ques- tion is whether the court will lend the use of its machinery to enforce agreements of this kind. Mr. Lawr contended that his Lord- ship had taken a wrong view of the matter. English courts, he-said, had ruled in effect that they would not assist a foreign Government to col- The Service a Bank Renders ROM the ve ry moment produc- tion of a commodity is planned until through the channels of commerce, it finds its way to the ultimate consumer, it must be fin- anced.

"You have to assume that what we are doing is illegal as far as the laws of this country are concerned," said counsel, Justice Raney--If I were deaf, dumb, blind and idiotic, I would make that assumption. Mr. Lawr--That may be your pri- vate view. The only thing you can do to me is to say I am contraven- ing the laws of Canada or Ontario. _ Justice Raney--I am not suggesting interference with the business in question by the courts. The point is whether the courts will facilitate such a business, Counsel asked for reserved decision to enable him to communicate with his clients in Walkerville as to whe- ther or not they would have the mo- tion turned into one for judgment, BRAVE RESCUE MADE OF TWO SEA CADETS St. Catharines, Aug. 31.--The facts in connection with the gallant rescue from drowning of a Chicago nurse by two Sea Cadets, Jack Coons and Jimmy Lawrenson, were made public today by Miss Vera McNulty, the lady who was rescued. Miss McNulty who is holidaying at Port Dalhousie, said she had been swimming in the lake off the beach Tuesday evening fore she knew it, she was being when a tempest came up and, be- carried out by the undertow. She tried to swim toward the pier. "In doing this I became exhausted and started to swallow water" said Miss McNulty. "I fought on but soon found that I was losing. As I al- most lost consciousness I saw a little lad dash out on the pier and jump in, followed by another boy. When I regained consciousness, I found the two boys as well as the Life Guard were working over me. I hope their brave actions are recognized by the proper authorfties, for they certainly 1 saved my life." STOCKS StoBIE-FORLONG (© BONDS ead Office: Reford Buil AND WELLINGTON STS. TORON' S.
