rosa Leas [HE OSHAWA paica 1iMes, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1928 DEFENDS BALDWIN "ON IMMIGRATION Times Says Empire Settle ment Should Not Become London, Oct. 5.--Under the cap- tion "Thinking Imperially," the Times in an editorial says "The brief reference to Empire settlement in the Premier's speech at the Yarmouth conference struck some as curious. On reflection they will realize that his treatment of the subject was wholly proper, Nothing could be more harmful or could have done more harm to the cause of Empire Settlement than for it to become a party issue here or in the Dominions." When the tumult of party poli tics dies the problem must abide in the minds of responsible statesmen of all parties. Dogmatism is mis- placed, but there are signs that as a result of long experiment me- thods for the encouragement of settlement are becoming possible upon which it is possible to con- centrate and which will be more fruitful. This should prevent the disappointnfent at the meagre re- sults of the Empire Settlement Act from degenerating into despair, The variety of effort which the act encouraged far outweight the fact that in six years it sent over- seas only one quarter of the nums- ber anticipated. It has beefl prov- ed that Empire settlement cannot and must not mean the bundling haphazard to the Dominions of per- sons happening to be unemployed. The Times refers to various placement schemes and continues, "The vast majority of adult emi- grants must still take the chance of learning a job on arrival in the Dominions, There is a clear case for a large extension of the train. ing facilities, and a further legiti- mate extension of expenditure would be the organization of a system for acquainting the wives of emigrants of the conditions of life overseas. "The lack, save in South Africa, of any agency to recruit, protect and train settlers with capital 1s a gap that might be filled. It would be worth while considering the possibility im exceptional cases, of sending out or recruiting among the unemployed in the Dominions a special body of pioneers for spe- cial clearance jobs, There is need that the problem be tackled with speed and vision. The most disquieting feature of the situation is not so much the small income of British migration as the growing percentage of for- eign entrants, But if we here fully believe that the Dominions desire as many British settlers as they can take and if the Domin- ions believe we have mo other wish than to supply them settlers, the desired Dasis is created for a com- tinuity of policy and the sideerity necessary to make and keep the Empire British. HORSES WILL HAVE PLAGE IN WARTIME British Veterinary Says Dob- bin Has Use as Well as Mechanism (By Canadian Press) Newcastle-on-Tyne, Oct. 5.--Con- tending that war "machiné hospitals" would be filled with ineffective ma- hanized units hopeless of repairs, ajor-General Sir John Moore, formerly director of the Army Veter- inary Service, has warned the gov- ronment against placing too much faith in the new mechanized army in time of war. Addressing the National Veterinary Medical Association Congress, Sir John said: "Mechanization has de- scended on the army, and the outlook generally for light horses for come mercial, private, and army purposes is not too bright. Any innovation, such as progressive mechanization of any mounted units, which tends to wipe out or reduce. the outlet, for the sale of the cheaper light horse known as misfits, is a serious blow to light horse breeding, and I ap- peal to the army authorities and the government to bear this issue care- fully in mind, The latest figures show that the strength of the home army in horses is 14,502, compared with 22,774 in 1912, Room for Eoth "For the army to advance exagger- ated claims on behalf of mechaniza- tion based on movement and manoeu- vre in easy and open country like Salisbury Plains would be altogether unwise. One war is no criterion of the next. Theatres of war are dif- ferent, and it is reasonable to assert that as the country to be traversed becomes more difficult so does the mobility of horses proportionately ex- ceed that of machines. At all events as in civil life, there is room for both horse .and machine, without destroy- ing the identity of any particular un- it of mounted troops. "It will be a serious position to wake up in war to find that require- iments in horses cannot be met be- cause the fountain has been allowed to dry up and it js obvious that dur- ing war the casualties .in machines will far exceed horse casualties. As war progresses machine hospitals will be a mighty park of inneffectives, hopeless of repair and in many cases difficult to get rid of, and a picture of awful expense.s As an econemic and indespensable factor in an army, the horse rises and will continue to rise supreme over any mechanical equivalent or alternative."

No warship in the world carries guns of more than 16-inch calibre. The 18-inch weapons are about 60 feet long, weight nearly 150 tons each and fire a 3,333 pound projectile, So far as is known only three were completed. The first was carried by the 19,000 ton. light draught cruiser Furious..one of the ships designed by Lord Fisher for his projected naval campaign to the Baltic. Originally the Furious was to have had two of these pieces mounted, fore and aft, but 'a flight deck was constructed in place of her forward turret, Da Ship maged When the ship was completed the after gun was fired a few tim- es, but the concussion was found to have shaken the ship so badly that it was decided to remove the gun and extend the flight deck, converting tfle ship into an aircraft carier pure and simple. As such she still figures in the Navy List. The three great guns were then mounted in the monitors Lord Clive, General Wolfe, and Prince Eugene for use in bombarding the German coast; but the war ended before they could be employed ef- fectively. For Defence The monitors having been dis- carded the guns were left on the Admiralty's hands, and have now apparently been taken over by the War office for the defence of Singa- pore. Their immense range and de- structive power should suffice to keep any possible enemy at a re- spectful distance. 'It would be in- teresting to know what reserves of ammunition exist for these mam- moth weapons," say the News. "Since they were fired so little dur- ing the war, it may be presumed that a considerable quantity of shells are still held uncharged." DIRECTOR OF "OUR GANG" HELD BY BROOKLYN COURT New York, Oct. §5.~Reymond Cof- fin, of Beverly Hills, Caiif., director of the "Our Gang" moving picture comedies, was held today by Magis- trate Walsh in Brooklyn for the Court of Special Sessions on a charge of exhibiting six children of the "Our Gang" movie troupe at Lowe's Met- ropolitan Theatre, Brooklyn, last Sunday, without a permit. Coffin was paroled in the custody of his attor- ney, Archibald Weltman, pending hearing in Special Sessions. Coffin had a permit for the children to appear at the theatre for a week, The permit expired last Saturday, Assistant District Attorney Sabbatino said that while the charge is rather technical, as a renewal of the permit could have been obtained, still the law was violated, as no permit was in existence at the time Coffin was ar- rested, Victor Bears the world's most famous trademark / Gy 18 Master's Voice trademark is a world wide talisman' of trade, Victor products are known in every part of the lobe, ke have been for more than a quarter cen- tury.

Message From Australia Some time ago the 3rd Fort Wil- liam Troop conceived the happy idea of presenting the First Gran- ville Troop of Boy Scouts, New South Wales, Australia, with a tim- ber wolf skin. Now the following message has been received from His excellency the Chief Scout for New South Wales to the 3rd Fort William Troop. "As Chief Scout for New South Wales, I deeply appreciate the kind thought of the 3rd Fort William Troop of Boy Scouts, Ontario, in presenting the 1st Granville Troop with a timber wolf skin. An action of this nature indicates the right spirit of friendship and will assist in drawing closer the links that bind the Boy Scouts of one portion Dominion."

The question has arisen in consequence of the telegram sent by the War Office authorities to the Aldershot Command, stating that until furth- er notice only hona-fide Scotsmen are to be recruited in the Scots Guards, Tn military circles the definition of a bona-fide Scotsman for recruit- ing purposes was found to he diffi- cult, and more than once when the point was raised refuge was sought in the apswer, "It is a legal ques- tion." In order to ascertain how the new order would he interpreted at a recruiting station, the enquiry "What constitutes a hona-fide Scotsman? was made at the Cen- tral London Recruiting Depot, Whitehall, An officer there im- mediately replied, "A man horn of Scottish parents 1s a bona-fide Scotsman, no matter where lie was born," Defer For Inquiry The question was then asked whether this test would be applied to recruits for the Scot Guards and a man, if one of his parents were Scottish and the other English, be refused for the regiment. The officer was unabel to give immediate decision on that point, An application in a case such as that referred to would he said, not be refused, but it would be deferr- ed for enquiry. A solution of the problem creat- ed by the new order was next sought at the regimental headquar- ters of the Scots Guards, Birdcage- walk. But even there it did not appear that the question which has arisen could be easily answered. No written description of what con- stitutes a bona-fide Scotsman seem- ed to be available. But Captain Dudley Woollan, the regimental adjutant, gave his view on the sub- ject, which was as follows: "For recruiting purposes a bona-fide Scotsman would he a man who was born in Scotland or a man born anywhere, whose father was a Scotsman." Captain Woollan add- ed that a similar order had been in force before 2nd no doubtful g St. West _Ph cases had occurred, \ » The fall activities of the 5th Osh- awa Troop were put into full swing with the investiture of three new members. It so happened that S. M. Pier- son, the chairman of the local coun- cil was present at the time the first quently Wiliam Drake had the han- or of being invested by the chief scout of Oshawa, Two more boys, John Keyes and Gordon Langton were then put through the cere- money and were welcomed to the troop. Several recruits were introduced and given application blanks for their parents to sign. During the meeting a short dis- cussion and knot tying demonstra- tion was held and.each new hoy received his regulation length of rope, In the near future more spacious quarters are likely to he had for the troop meetings and then a more energetic program of games will take up the evenings. A meeting of Central Execu- tive Committee of Scouting will be held on Wednesday Oct, 3 at 8 p.m. in the Y.M.C.A, Every member is requested to be present as many important items must be discussed. It has come to our ears that Mr, E, McVeity, Scout Master, of the 6th Oshawa Troop is leaving town. nevertheless Scouts in Oshawa wish him every happiness and success in his new home.

Although the modern administra- tion of the Indian territories has to a great extent done away with many of the historic ceremonies of the pow-wow, so that in some respects it bears a marked resemblance to the fall fairs held in rural centres, nevertheless there were many dis- tinctively Indian features to it. The picturesque costumes of the leaders of the tribe were seen around the reserve grounds, and a great pa- rade was held each day in which ev- ery available costume was worn. The squaws and maidens of the Ojibways donned beads, buckskin and feathers and paraded before the admiring braves arrayed as were their primal ancestors. The effects of one party attending the pow-wow were transported to the reserve in an ancient covered wagon, which was accompanied, strangely enough by a cowboy. The contrast pleased the Indians immen- sely, and the cowboy and wagon-were always the subject of much curiosity, from the younger members of the tribe, who had heard of them only in the tales of their grandparents. The pow-wow was made the occa- sion of the opening of a new com- munity hall, just completed, far the use of the Ojibways on the Rama reserves The opening ceremonies were conducted by Chief Alder York and Dr, Peter McGibbon, federal M.
