THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY. 29, 1929 PAGE TWENTY-ONE Goods Produced in Canada Are the Empire's Best Products | - What Editors Are Saying About British Empire Shopping Week EMPIRE TRADING WEEK * (Port Arthur News Chronicle) Five million dollars are being ex- pended annually to encourage mem- bers of the Empire to trade within the Empire. That is a lot of money, and is being devoted to a cause that cannot but secure results satisfactory to all who get into the habit of ask- ing for Empire products. To demand that your needs shall be supplied with goods made in the Empire does not mean that you are to have gbods made outside our own country. In Canada buy goods made in Canada; but if what you want is not made in Canada, it is made in some part of the Empire. Really, it is not necessary to go outside the Empire to get exactly what you want. Of course, it may be more convenient to get goods that are produced in nearby countries. All right, get them, but first ascer- tain if just as good is not right here in local stores and from some part of the Empire, That is that for the general reader. Now let's have a little talk with the storekeeper. You, Mr. Store- keeper, can make next week, 'which is to be Empire Trading Week, an outstanding period in merchandising Empire goods. To do this, tell the peo- ple of Port Arthur and District about some. of the Empire produced goods you carry regularly, or have stocked especially for this occasion. Tell them by means of the notice in the press, and supplement the newspaper advertisements with window display. Last year this means of broadecast- ing the news was very successful. Sales increased and one step was taken by many of the merchants to- ward getting their patrons to ask for Empire made goods. Get busy, Mr. Storekeeper, this evening or early Monday to make a special display of Empire made wares. This does not mean that you have -t0 hunt out goods that were made thousands of miles away from Canada, but rather that a special ef- fort be made to bring the products of Canadian mills, factories, farms, for- ests and mines to the attention of the passer by. The least we can do is to help Britain get value for the five million dollars the Government of that unit of the Empire is spending. Tell them at the Chamber of Commerce rooms that you would like one of the post- ers advertising Empire shopping, for display in your store window. They will be glad. to supply you until there is not one poster left. Empire trading week starts on Monday next. Quick action produces results, "Act quickly: ~~ < LJ * L EMPIRE SHOPPING WEEK (Montreal Star) Starting today, Empire shopping Week will be observed throughout the Empire. The object of that week is, plainly, the developnient of inter- Imperial trade. But its sponsors have no idea of suggestivy that it should be observed as a pein dur- ing which' the purchase of [hovirn 30s should be regarded as a duty. rade follows the most profitau. route, other things being equal. ask a Canadian to buy British goods when he can get as satisfactory an article that will last as long and serve his purpose just as well for a lower | price elsewhere is not good business, | sound commercial ethics or common- | sense. But to ask a Canadian to buy Canadian. goods first, and British goods next, other things being equal, if they give him as much satisfaction at the same price as, or at a lower price than, fopeign-made goods, is sound business and good logic. Tt is recognized as a well based business principle that a man should buy from his best customer. case of Canada, her best customer is the British Empire. Yet we buy from the Empire goods valued at $291- 000,000 less than their purchases from us, 'and in the case of the United States, our next best cus- tomer, we allow them to sell us goods worth $333,000000 more than the value of their purchases from us. Surely it must strike any business man that this is not good business If we regard our purchases from the Empire Week is Important Event (Stratford Beacon-Herald) The Beacon-Herald hopes readers will pay special attention to the an- nouncements made in today's paper about Empire Shopping Week. It is more than a seasonal effort to try and move merchandise, and there is no "catch" in it. * It comes of a realization, which is gaining momentum in this coun- try, that we must look within the Empire for markets for our goods, and on that basis we must also cul- tivate the idea of trading within the Empire ,and trading means buying and selling. We are very fond of giving expres- sion to lofty sentiments about loyal- ty to the Empire. Not for one mom- ent do we call into question the loyalty of the Canadian people, but we have to give tangible expression to it. An Empire must be built on some- thing more substantial than mere protestations of loyalty. We must put the force of our dollars behind this thing, because an Empire, like any other institution, fares much better on trade than it does on senti- ment, ¥ ~The idea has seized Stratford peo- ple to a far greater extent this year than ever before. We had an ex- ample of it in the City Council when it was decided to purchase either Alberta or Welsh coal in preference to the United States article: The very essential thing is that we shall Xeep on making such decisions. That 48 the idea behind Empire Shopping Week, and it appears to us as alto- gether desirable and. worthy of every a Y To | In the | view point of the treatment We would accord our best customers in business, we shall realize that trade within the Empire when conditions are such as make such trade satisfactory is not only good business but sound Im- perial politics, ' The 'slogan of Empire Shopping Week is "Empire Buyers are Empire Builders." That also may be regard- ed as a sound principle. It is unfor- tungte that in some quarters the ob- ject of Empire 'Shopping Week has been misrepresented as a smart ad- vertising feat on the part of English producers. The first principle is that preference should be given to Jlie product of the country making the purchases. That is to say, Canadians should buy Canadian goods first, other things being equal. and after that British goods. Goods produced in Canada are goods produced within the Empire. It is just as much Im- perial trading to buy them as to buy British, or Australian, or South Afri- can, or West Indian produce, There is another factor that enters into the case. By developing inter- Imperial trade we also develop a mu- tual knowledge of the various do- minions and colonies that make up the Empire, of their resources, their needs, and their possibilities of de- velopment. The more we know of cach other, the better will be our mutual understanding and sympath- ies. So that inter-Imperial trade will be a very vital factor in strength- ening the Imperial ties. Canada can share in Empire Shopping Week with cvery ground for belief that in so dding she is advancing both her own interests and those of the Empire of which we are proud to form a part. CLAIMS DARWIN'S THEORY LOSING CASTE IN EUROPE Chicago, May 29. -- Europe's greatest scientists are now pro- nouncing Darwinism to be abso- lutely dead, according to Paul Rad- ar, internationally known funda- mentalist and evangelist, in an ad- dress here. "The evolutionist leaves us to think out for ourselves how the limitless number of diversities of organs, members, instincts, .etc., in all the millions of living species, came into being," said Mr. Rader. 'Natural selection tells us that in a time far baek in the past their an- cestors had none of those organs, not even those that are vital But it does not. nor does it attempt to, trace the development. of a single organ, or tell us what.the interme- diate creatures were like, or Low they lived during the long stretches of years during which those vital organs were being evolved." DEBT SETTLEMENT SCORED AS UNFAIR T0 GREAT BRITAIN France - Spending Money Owed on Building Air Fleet, Declares Snowden ASKS FRESH START Not Going to Stand by and See Country Bled White, Says Thomas London, May 28.--Both Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden and Rt. Hon, J. H. Thomas, former Labor cabinet min- isters, last night returned to the war debts question and attacked the settlements as unfair to Britain. "The French budget just publish- ed discloses a surplus," sald Mr. Snowden at Bradford. 'France is relieving taxation to the extent of ten million pounds. She is spend- ing money she ought to have paid us in lending to Poland and other servile states for, purposes of mili- tary equipment. She is spending it in creating the greatest air fleet in the world, which as Lord Balfour said, could only be a menace to Britain. "She is also spending it. in mak- ing herself a more formidable com. spetitor of this country in the world's trade markets. These debt settlements are costing the country for the next 60 years a sum which would give pensions' of 30 shillings a week to a million old persons." And at Derby, Mr, Thomas de- clared: "It would be far better to end all these settlements and start afresh. But if they are not going to be wiped out we are not going to stand by and see our country bled white for the benefit of other nations." A threat to prosecute, if possible, whoever is responsible for originat- ing the insinuation that the Bald- win factories in Worcester employ a number of Germans, was made by: Premigr Stanley Baldwin in the courge of a speech at Malvern, Wor- cester, last night. Questions about this had been made at various o1 his meetings, the prime minister said. "In the first place, T employ nobody myself, I am merely a shareholder in Baldwins, Limited," he said. "But the insinuation that Germans are employed is a coward- ly lle. I have given instructions that the next time this question is asked they shall try to find out who is the. man who originated it. If I éan gét him and if action is pos- sible, I shall prosecute him." Referring to denials by Rt. Hon, David Lloyd George of statements that he was responsible - for the pledges to "hang the kaiser' and "make this country a land fit for heroes to live in," Rt. Hon Ramsay MacDonald last night at West Har- tlepool. went into detail concerning 'the. occasions on which the Liberal leader had been alleged to have made these promises. "On Nov, 29, 1918, at Newcastle, Lloyd George promised to hold the kaiser responsible for the war, and to fetch him out of Holland and try him," the Labor leader assert- ed. "Although Lloyd George knew that international law prevented .jhim from getting the kaiser out of Yeilznd. he gave no warning that the pledge could not be fulfilled." Mr. MacDonald added that at Wolverhampton, in 1928, and at made a pledge that if returned to power he would make this country a land fit for heroes to live in. The Liberal leader had refuted this, saying the"words wére in the nature of an appeal to the whole country and not a pledge on his own behalf, WEED INSPECTORS RECEIVE PRAISE Is Held Responsible for Cut- ting of All Weeds on Highways Toronto, May 29.--The work of the weed inspectors throughout the prov- ince of Ontario during 1928 has re- ceived praise from J, A. Carroll who is in charge of the administration of the act, He states, "Taking the province as a whole much more was done in 1928 to prevent weeds from going to seed than for many years previous. Im- provements were particularly notice- able on the highways. Some interest- ing information on the cost of weed cutting has come to our notice, in one place it was found after cutting weeds before going to seed the cost was reduced last year by one third, In another place where weed cutting was costly when commenced seven years ago, the cost has been reduced each var and in 1928 amounted to about $5.00 a mile, "The most encouraging observation last year is the evident demand for information on the nature and parti- cularly én the control of weeds, other places Mr. Lloyd George had.

For eastern Ontario John D. McLeod of Dunvegan Ontario is the inspector while A. R. G. Smith of New Ham- burg is in Western Ontario. "The services of thése men will be available in an advisory way through- out the season and requests for their assistance may be sent direct to the district inspector." Some interesting points regarding the destruction of weeds are given by Mr. Carroll. The weed inspector is responsible that all weeds on the highways are cut and that noxious weeds are cut in all places within con- fines of the municipality. For weed contre] along water ditches the road authority is responsible for all ditches on road allowance and bordering them. The property owner is respon- sible for all small ditchés running through personal property. Weed cutting on large open municipal ditch- es should be undertaken by the muni- cipality and charged to the drained area which they serve. Concerning the cutting of crops for the destruc- tion of weeds, the answer cannot be given in all cases. For instapce in an area where sow thistle is common to most farms it would be unwise to start cutting the crops containing it, On the other hand, if a small patch is discovered. in an area where this vicious weed has not obtained a foot- hold, this weed should not be per- mitted to go to seed. The inspector will have to exercise judgment im this case. MANY FLY TO SHADE PARTY In the search of novelties on the Riviera, in France, a "shade party" proved such an attraction that many flew from Paris and France specially for the event. It was given.-by Wil- liam Burton in his beautiful home near Cannes. The ifivitations were issued on Roman parchment, and guests were requested to appear as some character in history they might have been before the Christian era, The host appeared as Nero, and most of the characters were Roman. The Aga Khan appeared in a mysterious costume of black and red covered with jewels, One couple represented a Venetian doge and donna. Lady Pat Russell seemed' somewhat out of the "period" as an American sailor. Supper was served in a huge cave in the gardens, 3 The Daintiest Lingerie SILK THREAD HOSE EMPIRE MERCHANDISE SALE!.: 3 GREAT Value DAYS SUMMER DRESS SPECIAL This exceptional offer of de- lightful lingerie in daintiest shades an® good styles.
