MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1929 A DANGEROUS ORGAN In the last few days, a large number of copies of what purports to be a newspaper, under the name of "Labor," published in the United States, have been distributed in Oshawa. The leading article in this paper, carrying flaring headlines, is what is supposed to be an account of the recent "strike" in the General Motors of Canada, Limited, plant in this city. A perusal of the headlines of this article is suffi- cient to give cause for amusement on the part of the citizens of Oshawa who are fully acquainted with conditions here. They say, "General Motors Oshawa Factory Hit by Walkout": "Canadian Workers Pushed Aside for Men from Europe": and.so on, and the story underneath them is just as garbled as are the headlines. ! The Times has no quarrel with labor, whether or- ganized or unorganized. It:has shown itself to be sympathetic to the true aspirations of labor, when these are kept within reasonable bounds, and when they are aimed in proper directions. But when a publication of this kind is being circulated in Osh- awa, it is time to make comment. And that com- ment must naturally be 'that if all the articles cons tained in it have as little of accuracy, either in spirit or facts in them, there is little that can be said in its favor. The purpose of its circulation here, ap- parently, is to try to stir up dissension between local workers and their employers, and, as such it cannot have any helpful effect on the community. NOTED CANADIANS PASS Two notable leaders of Canadian public life passed away in the last days of last week. In Quebec, Sir Lomer Gouin passed away dramatically while on his way to prorogue the Quebec legislature, a duty which fell to his lot as lieutenant-governor of the pro- vince. In Winnipeg, Sir Hugh John MacDonald, honored son of that illustrious father, Sir John MacDonald, died after a long and painful illness. In their widely-separated spheres, these two men made a noteworthy contribution to the public life of Canada. Sir Lomer Gouin was one of a succes- sion of brilliant men who have occupied the pre- mier's chair in the province of Quebec. In the wider field of federal politics, he became minister of jus- tice in the government of Premier King. In both positions, he fulfilled his duties in a manner which made him worthy of the high trust which had been reposed in him, He was a leader of men in his own province, and it 'was characteristic of his life that he should die in harness. The career of Sir Hugh John MacDonald, while not so spectacular as that of Sir Lomer Gouin, was nevertheless one of the utmost usefulness to his country. He sufféered somewhat by being overshad- owed by the fame of his father, one of the outstand- ing Fathers of Confederation, but as premier of the province of Manitoba, and as Conservative leader in that province, he played no small part in its de- velopment while in the pioneer stages. 'These two men will be widely mourned. Sir Lomer was expected to have 'many years of useful service still ahead of him, Sir Hugh John has gone much beyond the allotted span of three score years and ten. Yet, 2!most simultaneously, they were taken away, and Canada is the poorer because of their passing. THE SESSION OVER The session of the Ontario Legislature is over. It has been rather a dull session, for the most strenuous efforts of the opposition leaders have failed to put much more than a spark of life into it. For a few weeks it dragged hopelessly, and then, in its dying days, more work was done than in all the pre- vious seven weeks. Th session, however, has produced some notewor- thy legislation. The old age pensions scheme is per- haps the outstanding piece of legislation which was enacted, and, in spite of the criticism of that fea- ture which compels the municipalities to pay 20 per _eent of the total cost, it is good legislation, a great step forward in social work. '. Another piece of legislation which should be bene- figial is that which is intended to safeguard investors in stocks through brokerage houses. This has been -- much needed, and if it is administered wisely, and 5s efficiently as the Hon. Mr. Price intimated that 'it 'would be, it will provide the public generally with a sense of security which has not existed here- tofore. Much other good legislation 'was passed, notable acts being those . providing for further extensions of hydro power in the northern mining areas, for veforstation of waste lands, and for closer co-opera- 0 tion between the provincial police and county auth- orities. These can all be considered as progressive steps for the well-being of Ontario. ; One of the doubtful decisions of the government was that to increase the gasoline tax. The motorist is already paying too large a share of the provin- cial taxation, and the increase in the gasoline tax, without any proportionate drop in the price of auto- mobile licenses, places on his shoulders far too heavy a burden. Before the session opened, W. E. N. Sinclair, the Liberal leader, predicted that there would be a pro- vincial general election this year, This prediction is hardly likely to come true. The session was not '| a pre-election session as such are known. In the last year of a government's term of office, there is usually a strong effort to build up a solid platform of good campaign material. This was not apparent in.the actions of the Ferguson government through- out the session, so that the possibility of an election before the session of 1930 are very remote, BUSINESS IS SOUND Floyd S. Chambers, managing editor of the Finan- cial Post, in addressing the West Toronto Kiwanis Club the other day, echoed the sentiments expressed in The Times on the day following the crash in the stock markets a few days ago. The attitude taken by The Times then was that the break in the stock exchanges would have no effect on business gener- ally, that it was a purely technical stock exchange matter, and did not mean that there was anything wrong with general business conditions. Discuss- "ing the same subject, Mr. Chambers said: #I think it would be a serious mistake if any one assumed the present break in security prices indicated that the future of Canada was not going to be as bright as we have been promised by our banking, business and journalistic words." These words should carry weight, for they have the backing of a sound knowledge of Canadian busi- ness. In the business world, every sign looks promis- ing. Business in February this year was 65 per cent above the normal condition for that month, and the country is progressing in a way that is basically sound. So that, no matter what may happen in these hectic stock exchange flurries, there is no need for the people of Canada to worry. EDITORIAL NOTES The stock market has again demonstrated that the wise man js the man who leaves it alone--unless he can afford to lose. Over 2000 English bachelors are coming to Can- ada. This will make competition all the harder for the girls in the old land. The Connecticut traffic officer who was fined six dollars and a day's pay for kissing a girl while on duty will now realize that there is a time and a place for everything. The Graf Zeppelin has successfully completed a five day trip over the Mediterranean. Another proof that the future of passenger aviation lies with the dirigible rather than the aeroplane. The fishermen of Lake Erie are bemoaning the fact that they are only able to catch perch. Wait until the amateurs start, and their stories will all be in the opposite direction. « Other Editors' Comment ~ PLANT TREES (Monreal Star) A proposed amendment to a bill dealing with tree planting now before the Legislature draws attention to something that is too generally neglected, not only in Quebec but throughout Canada. FOREIGN TRADE (Quebec Soleil) Before the, war from the point of view of imports, we were only known in a very few countries. To- day 'our products are distributed over the whole globe. Even in Asia the demand for Canadian goods is becoming greater every day. Japan and China are in a fair way to becoming some of our best cus- tomers. IMMIGRATION (Chicoutimi Progres du Saguenay) Qur policy of immigration has not given the results which have been expected of it. Exact statistics show that, for many years, we have been losing by emi- gration more human capital than is brought to us by ships from Europe. And to this loss must be ad- ded the millions which have been spent in the en- terprise. BRITAIN, CANADA AND RUSSIA ttawa Droit) When in May, 1927, Britain turned her back on Russia, Canada broke off all commercial relations with the Soviets, 1f Britain now decides to change her policy, this is no reason why Canada should do the same. Our country can very well do without the advantage of Russian trade and it will be playing the better part not to come tG an agreement with a government which is the shame of all humanity. . « Bits of Verse « - FOCH (By George Frederick Scott, in Quebec Telegranh- 5 Chronicle.)

CHRIST POR ALL~ALL POR CRM. -- A NEW HEART NECESSARY-- Cast away from you all your trans- gressions, whereby ye have trans- gressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die ?--Ezekiel 18:31. PRAYER-Lord, take from me this strong sinful heart and create in me a clean heart! That Body of 4 Bours By James W. Barton, M.D. DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEART. Perhaps you worry about your heart at times. You remember that the heart is the centre of the circu- lation of the blood, and you natur- ally feel that if it does not do its work perfectly, serious results may follow. You feel a little palpitation at times, that is the beat is very fast almost like a flutter, At other times it seems to skip a beat, perhaps one in every. six or ten beats. And still at other times there; seems to be a pain in the res gion of the heart which is somewhat alarming. Now there is really some trouble or there isn't, and the only sensible thing to do is to have "your family physician examine your heart. There may be some real organic trouble, or' there may be a passing | disturbance due to some slight pois- ons in blood stream from teeth, ton- sils, or intestine. Now if it is not either of these conditions then there is no cause for worry or anxiety. In fact your doc- tor will tell you that worry and anxi- ety can create a poison, which enter- ing the blood stream, can actually interfere with the action of the heart. In other words your anxiety about your heart can actually increase its rapidity and interfere with the regu- larity of the beat. Further, if you want to slow down your heart, and get its beat regular and strong, you can do it by regular exercise. In the army it was found that re- cruits with hearts that ran up to nearly one hundred beats to the min- ute, or whose hearts "skipped" one beat every few beats, developed hearts that were "slowed down" to seventy six or even seventy two beats to the minute after less than three months' training. So don't 'worry about your heart. Make sure by having your doctor examine you that it is safe for you to exercise, and then take good long walks daily of two to five miles. You will sce results within four to six weeks. And what is more gratifying is that you will cease to worry about your heart, and thus not interfere with its action by creating poisons due to this emotional disturbance.

STORIES OF FOCH STRESS SIMPLICITY Legend of Dead Marshal Al- ready Beginning to Grow Paris, Apr. 1. -- Marshal Foch has been dead little more than a week, but legends have already surrounded the Marshal's great figure. This le- gend is woven of the reports and tales of ancedotes by those who knew him before and during and after the war. Some of them are true stories; oth- ers are myths born of his fame, They are all tokens of his simplicity, mod- esty, common sense, humor and in- domitable will. The memoirs which he has been writing during the last five years will certainly be the most complete document on his per- sonality and his career. But during his talks with his friends the Marshal has given away already many of his souvenirs and impres- sions, When returning from a long tour he made in Canada and the United States in 1921 he used to spend hours on the upper deck of the liner thgt carried him back to France. He wore a sailor's cap and a yachting coat, His cternal cigar was always between his lips. Then and later, in the study of his house in the Rue de Grenelle, he spoke to his friends about his trans-Atlantic trip. "I was never tired during my trip," he said, "although I travelled much and saw too much too quickly." Having travelled all across the con- tinent, Marshal Foch was deeply im- pressed by the immensity of terri- tory, and its diversity. The Marshal liked to relate some of the humorous details of his journey. Once an en- thusiastic admirer gave him a live lynx, which he had brought over to France and gave his grandchildren. "They were delighted and enjoyed this present immensely. Another American lady gave me a box with several white mice 'to feed the lynx,' she said, I brought the mice to Pa- ris also and gave them to the Jardin des Plants." Some of the official ceremonies which Marshal Foch had to undergo during the trip were somewhat strenuous for a man of 69. Besides, the Marshal's modesty suf- fered. "I have made 248 speeches," he complained. "Only think, 248! And I had to answer all sorts of questions regarding myself. It was most awk- ward. How could I tell about my- self? I often wished someone would have done it for me" TWO IN ONE Employer "Late again, Smith." Clerk: "I'm sorry, sir, but last night my wife presnted me with a boy." Employer: better to present alarm clock." Clerk: "I rather fancy she has, sir." "She'd have wuone you with an SHORT OF DOGS Aman went to stay in the coun- try and his host, thinking he would like a little sport, lent him a gan and sent him out with some dogs. In half an hour he returned. "You're soon back," said the host. "Yes, I want some more dogs. I've shot all those," said the man, ANTI-PROHIBITION "MOVES FORECAST Tightening of Enforcement Crystalizes Activities of "Wet" Forces Washington, Apr. 1. -- A series of State legislative moves against pro- hibition, coincident with the general tightening of enforcement inspired by opening of the Hoover Adminis- tration, has centred public interest on prohibition dramatically. Wets are optimistic over the situa- tion, some predicting a general trend is setting in against the prohibition laws, while drys analyze them as no- thing more than the sporadic efforts seen since the beginning of prohi tion which they say will come to no- thing. These legislative 'moves in three "politically dry" midwestern states, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, and in Wisconsin, receive particular empha- sis at this time, not only because of the drastic Jones law and the general tightening ~ of enforcement, but through the killing of a woman by a State dry agent at Aurora, Ill. Con- tributing to the general public inter- cst is the indictment of Representa- tive M. A. Michelson, Republican, IIL, for bringing liquor into Florida, and reports that liquor was brought into New York from a recent Congression- al junk. \ Among legislative moves are these: 1.--Repeat of the "life for a pint" law in Michigan. 2.--A move for repeal of the state dry law in Illinois. 3.--A bill in Missouri for repeal of most of the state dry law. 4.--A referendum on repeal of the Wisconsin dry law and 2.75 per cent beer. : The Aurora incident has stirred general indignation, Congressional drys joining in condemnation of the tactics of the State dry agent. Lead- ers of wet and dry organizations, however, have refrained from com- ment. * As for the State legislative moves against prohibition, which this inci- dent has emphasized, Dr. F. Scott McBride, superintendent of the Anti- Saloon League, predicted yesterday they would come to nothing, and an- alyzed each situation in proof of his contention. "We are not worried a bit," said. : \, cts, on the other hand, believe that the tightening of enforcement to the point where it pinches will result in a general trend of public opinion against the law, and hold that these various moves are early signs of such a trend. A The Anti-Szloon League superin- tendent predicted defeat of the Wis- consin referendum, despite the | he | known liberality of the State. Drys | will join in voting against both is- sues presented, repeal of the State code and 2.75 per cent beer, he cx- | plained, while he believes that many wets will go on record for the beer, but will hesitate to vote for repeal of the State enforcement code, RUMANIAN THRONE. 15 NOT INQUESTION Visit of Manoilescu to Paris Not to See Prince Carol Paris, Apr. 1.--Prince Carol of Ru- mania returned to Paris Friday from Normandy where he met his mother, Dowager Queen Marie, who is how on a visit in Spain. He said that he was enjoying splendid health and refused absolutely to discuss reports that Mihail Manoilescu and Prince Stirbey were coming to Paris to es- | cort him back to the throne of his father, "Beautiful weather we're having in France just now," said the Prince. The Rumanian legation avers that while Manoilescu is in Paris at pre- sent he has no appointment to meet Prince Carol and has no intention of making one. The Rumanian colony here, aware of the circumstances pre- ceding Carol's departure from Ruma- nia which are generally known to have involved an altercation with the Prince nearly resulting in fisticuffs, expressed disbelief that the Prince would move a finger to assist Carol back to the throne. "Too Absurd" Bucharest, Rumania, Apr. 1.--One of the highest officials of the Ru- manian government characterized as "too absurd for denial" a press re- port that Prince Stirbey and Mihail Manoilescu have gone to Paris to arrange the return of Carol to Ru- mania. . "Please make it clear once and for all," said the official, "that neither in the capacity of Crown Prince nor as a private citizen can Carol return to Rumania. When the disinherited Prince signed the law of renuncia- tion to his right to the throne in 1927, he pledged himself solemnly to remain out of the country for at least 10 years. That law is fixed and final and cannot be changed cven by Par- liament, Neither can the law creat- ing the Regency and establishing Mihail as King be altered so as to allow Carol's return. That law is an integral part of the existing Consti- tution and is unalterable, Only a revolution could upset it. Carol is dead politically forever and thorough- ly discredited. You may be sure that while Premier Maniu is in power, the Prince will never be allowed to set foot on Rumanian soil. His presence would be a series of worry and dis- turbance to the Government." The meeting between mother and son in Normandy, the official added, was merely a family reunion and re- conciliation and had no political sig- nificance whatever. "Could you do something for a poor old sailor?" asked the seedy- looking 'wanderer at the gate. "Poor old sailor?" echoed the woman at work at the tub. "Yes, ma'am. I followed the water for sixteen years." "Well," said the woman, "you cer- tainly = don't look as if you ever caught up with it." | NOBILITY JOIN IN ROME PROCESSION Good Friday _ Observances Take on New Im- pressiveness Rome, Apr. 1. -- As though sym- bolical of the obliteration of old dif- ferences between church and state, flowers sent by the Governor of Rome Friday adorned the classic cross in the centre of the Coliseum, where so many Christia martyrs suf- fered death prior to the advent of the Emperor Constantine, Good Friday observances in all the 400 churches of Rome thus took on a new impressiveness. The most picturesque was the Pro- cession of Penitence across Rome to the Church of Santa Croce in Geru- salem, where relics of the Saviour's passion were exhibited. Many mem- crs of the Roman nobility partici- pated in the procession, All the marchers carried small candles of yellow wax and chanted in "chorus the cantiele "Long Live the Cross," before entering the church to give homage to the relics of the true cross preserved there. Hallelulahs will be heard in all churches today for the first time since the beginning of Lent, while at St. John, Lateran, where the treaty be- ENGLAND T0 INDIA SERVICE STARTED Long Planned Aijr-Mail Leaves Today From Croydon Field London, Apr. 1. -- After innumer- able difficulties, diplomatic and pther- wise, the long-planned air-mail ser- vice between Croydon, England, and Karachi, India, will start today with Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary of State for Air, as a passenger as far as Alexandria, Egypt.
