THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1929 Nations will celebrate its tenth birthday. Let us de- termine, Mere and now, to help it, with all our power, to go forward with its great task of pgace on earth id goodwill among men." This challenge will be flung across the world from Wales to present its appeal to all nations. In Can- ada, it will be broadcast by radio through the efforts of the League of Nations Society, and in other coun- triés some agency working for world peace, will per- form the same useful task, The call of the children is a stirring one. It should reach every heart with its echo of the message of the, Great Master, "Peace on earth and goodwill among men." And perhaps it may, stir anew in the minds of those who have in their hands the control of the world's destinies the realization that the world universal desires peace above everything else, and looks to them to bring to fruition these hopes and 'desires. STRAIGHT TALK TO THE COMMUNISTS Ramsay MacDonald, British Labor leader, has not been mincing words in addressing the communist elements of his party. He condemns them just as strongly as do those of the other political parties, and in a recent speech near London, he talked to them in language they could easily understand, saying, "Talk about arming the proletariat is criminal, childish rubbish. As for buying rifles to eman- cipate yourselves, if you used them you would be stretched in rows along High street, your wives would be widows and your children orphans." Mr. MacDonald understands the British tempera- ment very well--much better than the Communists apparently do. He recognizes that there can be no possibility of any armed revolt, such as the Com- munists advocate, in the British Isles, and it would be folly' for any section of the Labor party, even the most radical elements, to think of such a thing, Britain, like Canada, has no place in its national life for Communism, and that is why leaders like Ramsay MacDonald realize that the only hope for Labor is to seek reforms in an orderly, constitutional , and to discard anything which savors of A CHANGE OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT The notice of motion given by Alderman Carnell at the council meeting on Monday evening, to the effect that he intended to introduce a by-law for the changing of the city's system of municipal gov- ernment, is' jnteresting. The sponsor of this move: ment is not willing to give details of his plan to the public until they have been presented to his fellow-aldermen, but there are distinct possibilities in re-opening the subject. As was the case on previous occasions when this subject was broached, The Times stands committed in favor of a plan of city-wide election of aldermen, in place of the present ward system, and in favor of a reduction of the number of aldermen from fifteen to ten. Any move to bring this change about will have the cordial support of this newspaper, be- cause we firmly believe that by such a system the city council would become a more thoroughly repre sentative body, and would be able to do its. work more efficiently than under the present ward system, with fifteen aldermen. Many cities are seeing the wisdom of the city- wide plan of election, and of curtailing the number of seats on the council: Dr. Horace L. Brittai, On- tario's outstanding authority on municipal govern: ment, has declared in emphatic language that the ward system and too large councils are the greatest handicap to any modern city, and his words are well worth considering. If this is the proposal which Alderman Carnell has in mind, then it is a wise move, and should not be lacking for support, even in the city council. REMOVING A BLOTONTHE LANDSCAPE The horticultural society of Scarboro has taken a wise stand in requesting the township council to re- fusc to grant permits for the erection of signboards' on the highways of the township. This is a request which comes well from an organi- zation which exists for the purpose of community beautification. At the best, signboards along the roads of Ontario are a nuisance to those who are lovers of the beautiful in nature. From one end of the province to the other, there are tens of thousands of these blots on the landscape, and they usually are found in places where they shut off from the sight of the beauty-seeker the most lovely vistas on the landscape. It is time that a strong protest was made against the erection of signboards, not only on the township roads, as mentioned in the Scarboro resolution, but along all roads, for the worst offences are those com- mitted along. the route of the provincial highways. From the standpoint of beauty, they add nothing to the scene which awaits the eyes of the tourists. On the contrary they despoil the beauties of nature, and make hideous, by their stark ugliness, what would otherwise be a pleasant landscape. This is more than a matter for mere township council action. The protest against signboards should vince, so that, following the example of the province of New Brunswick, which has placed a ban on sign- boards, legislation can be passed ordering the re- moval of these unsightly eyesores, and leave the full beauties of the Ontario landscape for the enjoyment of the eyes of the sightseers. who are flocking along «the highways in search of beauty unadorned. AN APPEAL FOR PEACE A novel movement, having for its aim the further- ance of world peace, has been undertaken by the children of the little principality of Wales. It is not a new movement, for it has been in existence for: eight years, but this year"it is taking on a new signi- ficance, since it is to be carried, by the-magic of radio, to every part of the world. i May 18 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the open- ing of the first peace conference at The Hague in 1899. Much progress has been made for the further- ance of world peace since that time, and bodies, far transcending in practical usefulness The Hague con- ference, have sprung into being. Yet May 18 is the date which is chosen 'cach year by the children of Wales for the issuing of an 1 ge calling the world to peace. Thus, this week, on May 18 they will send ouf the following challenge: "We, boys and girls of Wales, from our. mountains and valleys, our villages and towns greet with a cheer the boys and girls of every country under the sun. Our hearts are thrilled by the wonderful response to our yearly message and we cherish the many new links of friendship which we have formed. Will you, millions of you, join with us today in thinking with gratitude of those men and women of every race and people who are working so hard to build a finer, better world 2 ae in 1930, the League of LN threats of violence, EDITORIAL NOTES.

Star) No matter how much talk there is these days about universal from an expert English authority that when the con- struction program of. the United States is completed the American Navy will be more powerful than that of Great Britain. As a matter of fact, the Republic already has it over the fleet which so long "ruled the waves," except in the cruiser class, and Uncle Sam proposes to rectify that deficiency very soon. EMPIRE MARKETS (J. L. Garvin in the London Observer) Owing to circumstances too numerous to detail our foreign trade proper, though to be held and pushed as much as possible, never can be in proportion as large and sure a field for our commercial progress as in pre-war times. Our only great resort is to use the high credit we have restored for developing the unlimited potentalities of a productive and inter- trading Empire. Our necessary re-expansion of mar- - kets we can create with certainty under the flag and in no other sure way on earth. GERMANY'S "HOLLER" (Toronto Mail and Empire) Mr. Churchill announces that Germany's total cash ayments to foreign countries since the armistice hy amounted to $910,000,000. An average yearly payment of $91,000,000 does not seem excessive when the citizens of Canada gre obliged to contribute over 150,00 a year in war tax revenue. Canada's total war tax revenue since 1915 has amounted to nearly $1,500,000,000. GIRLS HAVE A CLEAR RECORD ancouver Province) In respect to major crimes Canadian girls show a clear record.

E, Scruggs, in I Dial, eace, it is rather disquieting to learn RA A That Bod of Bours By James W. Barton, M.D: YOUR BODY LIKE A HOUSE Some years ago I compared that y of yours to a house, Your foundation is the frame work of bones that carries your organs inside and your muscles on the out- side. To be more nearly correct of course the foundations of your body are the "kind" of a body your parents gave you as to heart, lungs, stature, and everything else. Your heating plant is made up of fre, food you eat which is the coal or uel, . These various processes going on inside you, particularly the work of the huge muscles. which cover the body, manufacture heat, and the warm blood coursing throughout the body carries heat to all parts. This is like hot water heating. The ashes are the Wastes from the body which are thrown out by the kidneys, intestine, skin and lungs. Your mouth is like the vestibule of the house, Just as you can admit anybody to your house from the vestibule when you are satisfied that it is all right to admit him, so also can you do your own choosing of the food or liquid that enters your mouth. In your mouth also is the saliva that prepares the food to center the stomach or house proper. Now your stomach is like the kit- chen of the house, In the kitchen all the food you eat is prepared. There is the cutting up, grating, peeling baking, boiling, and roasting, before it is brought to the dining room. And so your food is prepared in the stoamch for the digestive processes. From the kitchen or stomach the food goes to the dining room, or small intestine, Your small intestine calls to its aid a couple of juices that throw them- selves upon the food immediately. it leaves the stomach. These juices make an immediate change in the food, and this change enables the blood to draw the materials out of | the food, that it needs for building the body. The ventilation of the body is 'the lungs, and it is like a perfect type of ventilation because the lungs draw in oxygen with respiration, and throw out waste, carbon dioxide, with each expiration, . The library in the house is the brain. Your brain stows away knowledge that you can use at any time, just as you consult your library from time to time, The storeroom of the house is where you keep an extra supply of things. That body of yours can store up things also. Your lungs carry an extra hundred cubic inches of air for emergencies; your liver stores sugar; your gall bladder a little extra bile; your muscles surplus power so that they can work even without air for a short time. The bedroom of your body is the hours of rest you give it.'

FARMERS MEAN TOSAVE PROPERTY Erien Onion Growers Pro- pose Measure to Stop Flood Ravages Blenheim, May15.--Even if the gov- ernment aid for which they have pe- titioned is not forthcoming, 300 onion growers of the Burke drainage scheme in the Erieau district, whose 1,600 acres of fine muck land was in- undated in the most disastrous flood Western Ontario ever knew, are de- termined to get their land back from the clutches of Lake Erie. Fred Sheldon, one of the promin- ent grows in the Burke drainage set- tlement, stated that many of the growers are not only anxious, but willing to do everything in their power to get back their lands once more. It means lots of work but where there's a will there's a way, he declared. From two and one-half to four feet of water lie on Mr. Sheldon's lard, but he is of the opinion that if the proposed protective breakwater and road is put in, with a sheet-piling front, there is every possibility of op- erating lands next year if not this year. The necessity of all parties con- cerned, including the aHrwich town- ship council, getting together for an amicable settlement ain the matter was setressed today by a number of interested growers. - "If the council shows willingness to assist us in a solution of our problems then we will hope for the best in the fut- ure instead of the worst," one grow- er said. In the event of the council fails ing to assist the growers in solution of the problem there is a possibility of a manadamus being served on the body, a grower said. Other growers said they would not care to go that far in seeking assistance unless other ways of securing help are exhausted, It is understood that W. G. Mc- George, township engineer, is favor- able to the construction of a new combination dyke and protective wall along the site of the old and now badly-battered lake shore road , INQUIRY ASKED U3. BROADGASTS Some Form of Government Control of Radio is Favored Hamilton, May 16.--Some form of Government control of 'radio to make it more distinctly Canadian or Britsh, and relief from the present surfeit of broadcasting from the United States with its consequent propaganda and adver- tising, were urged before the Roy- al Commission of Radio broad- casting which sat here today. The Commission 'was composed of Sir John Aird, Chairman; Aug- ustin Frigon, D.Sc, of Ottawa, and Charles A. Bowman, editor of the Ottawa Citizen. Sir John ob- served that the consensus of opin- fon in Great Britain and several countries of Europe was in favor of some.form of Goverment control or operation of broadcasting. Several citiens appeared before the Commission and expressed their opinions. Among them were Herbert Slack, a pioneer in the radio industry here; George H.

Such was the tenor of letters sent to the governor of Iowa and the ma- yor and corporation of Des Moines this afternoon. by the Bible Union assembled in conference here. In a letter to the mayor and cor- poration, the vice-presidents of the Bible Union call attention to the fail- ure of the Des Moines police to give adequate protection to Dr. T, 'I. Shields, of Toronto, and four Tu- ronto students during. the week end riots which attended the meeting of trustees in the university. The sec- ond letter, addressed to'the governor of Iowa, declares that the behavior of the police exposed the Canadians to the risk of serious injury, which would have resulted in a delicate sit- uation in international relationship, . "What are you going to do about it?" is the question quite delicately asked in both letters, Telegraphic re- plies not later than Thursday are re- quested, so that evidently the Union is going to decide, before the conven- tion ends on Friday, what it is going to do about Des Moines.

Letter to Des Moines Mayor The communication to the mayor and corporation of Des Moines begins by recounting the alleged attempt vy students to kidnap Dr, Shields on the university campus on Saturday afternoon, and the epic egg-bombard- ment of the trustees while they were in session on Saturday evening. Re- ferring to the students' antipathy to Dr. Shields, the letter says: "The evident temper of the mob threaten- ed serious physical imjury, if not worse, to the man whom they sought." Complaints is made of the fact that the police refused to provide protec- tion for Dr. Shields at a Des Moines hotel, but told him thdt he could be protected only at the police station.
