SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1929 A CHANCE TO RECIPROCATE In two or three weeks' time Empire Shopping Week will be held in this country, and the people of Canada will be given an opportunity to reci- procate with the people of Glasgow, Scotland, for an unusual plan adopted there to draw attention to Canadian products. The merchants and others of Glasgow organized what they called "Canada Week," during which they made a special effort to educate the housewives to the value and variety of the products of this coun- try. Window displays, special advertising, and strong appeals were centred on goods produced in Canada, and the slogan, "Buy from those who buy from you," made so strong an appeal to the housewives that supplies of many lines of Canadian produce were sold out, and rush orders had to be sent to London for more stocks. Even the available reserve stocks in the metropolis were exhausted by the demand created through the "Canada Week" appeal. Coming so soon after this event, Empire Shopping Week will provide the people of Canada with an op- portunity of making the Glasgow slogan, "Buy from those who buy from you," apply with equal force to this side of the Atlantic. Canada produces many articles which cannot be produced in Britain, and for these a strong demand has been created in the old land. On the other hand, Britain can send to Canada many lines of articles not manufactured here, and this provides an opportunity for encouraging and stimulating British industry, by creating a de- mand for British goods that will not last for Empire Shopping Week, but all the year round. In the light of the Glasgow venture, the least that Canadians can do is to reciprocate by "buying from those who buy from us." THE BEAUTY OF THE BYWAYS Slowly, perhaps, but surely, the days of early sum- mer are creeping along, and the buds on the trees and the shrubs are mantling the countrysides of On- tario in a shroud of brightest and freshest green. Soon blossom-time will be here, bringing. with it all the beauty of the pink and white festoons on the orchard trees. Then is the time when Ontario pre. sents a vista of rare beauty, a picture worth the seeing for the sheer enjoyment which the eyes can find in the scanning of such a landscape. In days such as these the highways are teeming with motor cars, each filled with lovers of the great outdoors, Yet the richest beauty of the county of Ontario is not to be found along the main travelled routes. The byways in their beauty of scenery far outdo the highways, for hidden along these back roads are rare sights and scenes. The roads may not be as good, but they have the added comfort of soli- tude and safety. What could be more rare on a day in May that to amble along these byways of the district, seeking, over the top of the next hill, a new picture of nature's beauty and glory, and finding it every time. The motorist who is out for motoring may stick to the crowded highways, but the lover of natural beauty, of scenic delights, will find his heart's de- light to a much greater extent by choosing the py- ways, throttling down the engine to ten or fifteen miles an hour, and loafing along, drinking in each glorious picture as it presents itself to his eyes. HONOR WHERE IT IS DUE Lovers of wild life in the province of Ontario, and there are thousands of them, will rejoice in the honor which has been paid. to Jack Miner, the universally known naturalist of Kingsville, Ontario, in his ap- pointment as a director of the Isaac Watson League of America, This league, with President Hoover as its honorary president, numbers in its membership half a million sportsmen, pledged to the very work in which Jack Miner has taken the leadership in Canada, the protection and preservation of wild life, and particularly wild bird life, in Ontario. Jack Miner has been responsible for the building up in Canada of a greater appreciation for the value of the wild bird life of the province. At his sanctuary at Kingsville, he has done a work of research that has been valuable, mot only in helping to preserve the wild birds which summer in this country, but in the compilation of definite knowledge of the migra- tion habits of these birds. The old Scriptural quotation that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country might well be applied 'to Mr, Miner. By the individual bird- lovers and. sportsmen, his work is highly regarded and recognized, but his services to the Dominion have yet to receive from. the government the reward ips THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1929 left to an United States organization to give him this recognition may help the government to make up its mind to give Mr. Miner some adequate recom- pense, not only for the time and effort, but also for 'the money which he has expended from his own pri- vate funds in doing a work of incalculable value to the Dominion, THE VALUE OF A GOOD COOK John Parks, the motorious jail-breaker, made a valiant attempt to stage a hunger-strike in 'the Es- sex county jail at Windsor, but his strength of will failed when the cook prepared a savoury pot of vegetable soup, and had it carried, in steaming pails, past the door of Parks' cell. The delicious odour of that soup was too much for him. It went right to/the spot where the pangs of hunger were gnawing, and he capitulated. That cook must have been an artist in the culinary art. He knew just the right flavor to put into that soup to break down the resistance of the would-be hunger -striker, and the tempting odor proved the downfall of John Parks.' Of course, he is not the first man to succumb to the wiles of a good cook. Even in these modern days, it is true that the surest road to a man's heart is by way of his stomach, although that old adage was not meant to be applied to such a situa- tion as that which arose in the Essex county jail. Yet when a desperate man succumbs to the art of a culinary artist, there is a real lesson to be learnt in the value of being a good cook.

Barton, M.D. CHRONIC APPENDICITIS A news item a couple of years ago told of a couple of mining 'engineers who were going many miles into the interior, far from any doctor or hos- pital, In order to take no chances with appendicitis they went into the hos- pital in their home city and both of them had the appendix removed. As both men were in excellent con- dition they made a rapid recovery and went on their prospecting trip. This seems almost like being too cautious but an acute appendix, a couple of hundred of miles from any- where, would likely result fatally. And yet you perhaps meet folks who tell you that they have chronic ap- pendicitis, and can't make up their mind to undergo an operation. Now is an operation always neces- sary in chronic appendicitis, that is where the patient has pains from time to time in the region of the appendix ? : Dr. Frank H. Lahey, Boston, tells ug that if a patient that never be- fore has had pain in the lower right side of the abdomen--the appendix region--then has a definite attack of acute appendicitis from which he re- covers, and then has pain from time to time in that region, it may be as- sumed that he possibly has chronic appendicitis and operation may be advised with a clear conscience. Although the X ray evidence is of value in diagnosing chronic append- icitis, the pain and discomfort, and the tenderness over the appendix, are more important factors. As you know, by the use of the fluorscope the apendix may be seen and the physician is able to apply pressure directly over the sopra If this gives pain the appendix is at fault, The point then is that because you have occasional pains in the region of the appendix it does not mean that an operation is necessary. If however you've had a definite acute attack, and then have a pain in ap- pendix region from time to time, and your dictor recommends an operation, you would be well to take his advice.

BRITAIN AND THE EMPIRE (London Evening Standard) Mr. Baldwin will do well to let it be known that the foreign policy of Great Britain is to be conducted with a single view to British interests and to a consolidation of the Empire in preference to any other association of interests that can be {magined. We were inevitably drawn into the vor- tex of European affairs, but our main effort now must be, so far as can, to escape from it, not to go further in. POLICE AND SHOOTING (Guelph Mercury) It is argued that policemen are not armed in Great Britain, or the Trish Free State, and should not be here. On the other hand, the police in Canada, which is next to the most lawless civilized country in the world, have a different problem from that of the old country constables, because American gunmen fre- quently cross the border, and the police here must be armed to meet them and not restrained from shooting first. Often he who shoots first shoots last. It is contended further that, if the police could use their revolvers only in self-defence, they could not successfully cope with criminals, and that the cure for indiscriminate shooting is proper police training. - « Bits of Verse » - IN A GARDEN - By H. A. S. In the April Scribner's My little garden lies upon a hill And from it I can view the wide-spread land, The fertile fields, the woods; the clouds that fill The sky with radiance seem to touch my hand. Here Beauty rides upon the fragrant winds, The distant hillsides row on row grow fair As ready Earth her scattered riches finds : And luscious Summer basks in sun-warmed air. The swallows dart across the azure sweep While amber blends with turquoise, green with rose As Day lets fall her golden veil to sleep And silence comes upon the garden close. I turn and look upon a single flower To find the beauty of the world its dower. 1 TRY REMEMBERING Sometimes I try remembering The bitter words that we two said Along beside the dying fire A day so long since dead.

PRAYER--"AIll praise to Thee Eternal Lord, Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood." Article Lh fis dic intey ° The British Labour Party And the General Election THE LABOR PARTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT THE RT. HON. THOMAS SHAW, M. P. (Copyright--By Arrangement with Anglo-American Newspaper Service) No. 1 ' v PERRET Wi 1] It is a difficult matter even to give an outline of Labour's policy on un- employment and industry in a short article I must begin by calling atten- tion to what the problem is, In round figures we have 1J4 million egistered unemployed workers. No- body knows"what the actual number of unemployed is, but it is certain that there are many thousands of genuine unemployed whose books are not lodged at the Labour Exchanges. We have a condition of affairs in certain mining, ship-building, and cotton areas which is a disgrace to a so-called civilized country. We have had a Government with a crusr- ing majority for over four years that was to give us stability and security. The only stabilization we have has been an unemployment figure of well over a million. As to security in the industrial world--it simply does not exist. 'In the great basic industries both employers and employed are in a state of insecurity that beggars description. Obviously no single measure is likely to relieve our difficulties, the blunt fact is that private enterprise has proved itself quite incapable of managing its affairs. We have over a million of the best work people in the world unemployed. We have scores of millions of capital lying idle, and private enterprise cannot put the idle hands to work with the rusting capital. Any un-biassed stu- dent of industrial affairs must agree .| that our industrialists generally have not shown the adaptability and the flexibility of mind necessary to deal with the new circumstances. Progress Made Rationalization, standardization combination, and centralization have made relatively more progress in other countries than our own. What is still worse in that we seem to be attracting into business a multitude of men who know nothing whatever about business, who draw huge sal- aries as directors, which may or may not be earned. They appear to be just' gilded "spongers" on industry. It would be a great thing if all cap- tains of industry were bound to know as much about their trade and to work as hard at it as the manual workers. The first thing I would suggest then is to scrap the parasites on in- dustry. During the boom, immediate- ly after the war, capital was water- ed to an enormous extent. Perhaps the best example of what took place is that of the cotton trade, where mills were sold at fantastic prices. All this water must be ruthlessly squeezed out before we can hope to get on sound lines again, Then the stupid idea that firms can go on per- fectly independent of each other, without agreement, with the idea that competition is the breath of life, must either be killed or it will definitely kill industry. Let me explain my meaning by drawing an illustration from the most extreme case I know. It makes the heart of a lover of his country ache when he goes into our little country towns and villages and sees the shops even there full of Danish agricultural products. I do not dislike the Danes--on the con- trary, I have a profound admiration for them. A Free Trader I am not one of those who think that Britain can manufacture every- thing for herself, and I am a Free Trader, but there must be a screw loose somewhere when even agricul- tural Britain has to purchase Danish eggs and butter. The whole secret is that Denmark's farmers have adopted co-operation and scientific methods. Anyone who has travelled in Denmark knows that the Danes have no natural advantages--except brains. If the English farmer will insist on working as his grandfather did, every man making up his own little product, sending produce to market in a fantastically expensive way, and having no arrangement with his brother farmers to see that a reasonable amount of the price the consumer pays comes to the produc- er, then the English farmer will suf- fer. What applies to the English farmer applies unfortunately in a large degree to a great number of our industrial concerns. Rule of thumb methods, manufacture of articles without knowing what other people are doing and being supreme- ly indifferent' to what other people are manufacturing may be a mark of sturdy independence. The Danes, and the Germans in particular, how- | ever, have shown that what we often call sturdy independence is just hide- bound folly. If we could get rid of the gilded sponger, squeeze the water out of capital, and reailze that co-operation, scientific methods, co- ordination, and centralization are better than our old methods, we should do a great deal to ensure future success. Would Assist Development A Labour Government would cer- tainly give every State help that was possible to assist development of the kind I have mentioned, but it would insist at the same time that a fair share of any improvements accuring must go to the workers.

We hear the continual screaming out for "increased production" with a certain amusement, Of course" the more wealth we produce the more we ought to have to distribute. The as- tounding fact is, however, that at present the more wealth we produce the more our difficulties grow. The individualist who believes in competition and private enterprise is absolutely helpless when confronted with the fact that the huge produc- tion of industry. In all the basic industries of the country we could produce enormously more than we are now producing. Our capacity and capital for producing wealth are almost limitless. We have been busily engaged however, since 1921, with the exception of the year 1924, in reducing wages, and the people's reduced spending power is not able to clear the markets of the goods produced, This is not only true of our own country; it is truc of every other industrial country in the world. We are staggering along under a burden of debt and expenditure which is taxing our strength, Armament Burdens What a relief it would be if we could get rid of most of our arma- ment burden. Labour's foreign policy would aim at securing that measure of international agreement which would make the drastic cut- ting down of armaments possible. This would be valuable in a double sense. Nothing militates more against international trade than feelings of insecurity or lack of friendship. There are three parts of the world which are of great inter- est and potentiality to a manufactur- ing nation like ourselves. They are China, India, and Russia, Every effort ought to be made to develop trade to a much larger degree in those three parts of the world, to allay suspicion where it exists and to develop friendship where now a cer- tain uneasiness--to say the least of it--exists.
