TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1929 " THE ENTENTE CORDIALE Oshawa, through its great industry, the General Motors of Canada, Limited, is today welcoming to the city an interesting group of visitors. This group consists of twenty students and five professors from the National College of Agriculture, in France, These men are making a tour of Ontario, inspecting, with a view to 'both profit and pleasure, some of the great industrial plants and agricultural institutions of the province, and it is a tribute to the place which Osh- awa holds in the industrial world that they should come here, This party, although a small one, is important. France, as the chief ally of the British Empire dur- ing the war, has close ties binding it to this country, as to the other countries under the British flag. Per- haps because of the French origin of so many of the Canadian people, these ties are just a little closer with this country than with other parts of the world. That factor alone should make the entente cordiale between this country and France a real thing, and it may be that, just as Canada is considered the in- terpreter to the United States of British ideals and thought, so may this country be the chief link in the chain of friendship between Britain and France. It is a good thing that these international visits are becoming so frequent a feature of the world of today. Nothing so quickly brings about a closer un- derstanding between nations than for the people of these nations to visit each other, to live with each other, and to acquire something of the viewpoint of sach other. That is one of the things which should be achieved by the visit of these drench students anid professors to Canada, and Oshawa is indeed hon- ored in being privileged to join in welcoming them to this dominion, TWO SIDES TO THE STORY A study of the Toronto niorning newspapers is apt to be very confusing to the average newspaper reader. This is true, not only of their editorial columns, but uso of some of their news despatches from Ottawa. An outstanding instance of this was provided a few ' flays ago when the trade figures for Canada for the first four months of the present fiscal year were \ssued. Both of the Toronto morning papers, of course, had despatches dealing with this subject, but, placing them side by side, it is difficult to realize that they deal with the same thing. In its despatch, the Globe plays up the fact that Canada's total trade increased by $24,000,000 in the last four months, in spite of the fact that wheat ex- ports decreased by $41,000,000. The tenor of the de- spatch was such as to lead one to believe that this sondition was wholly satisfactory. The Mail and Empire, on the other hand, in its despatch, tells of the large unfavorable balance of trade for the last four months, and plays up the fact that Canada's imports exceeded her exports by a large figure, and that while imports had in- creased, exports had fallen off considerably. Both of these despatches, of course, were true. The treatment in each case was justified by the figures, but the newspaper reader who studies both news- papers is somewhat at a loss to know which treat ment of the story is more in keeping with the actual situation. wo So far as these trade figures are concerned, they are unsatisfactory in some respects, and satisfactory in others. It is true that exports have dropped oft by nearly $19,000,000, and that imports have in- creased by $44,000,000, thus transforming a favorable 'trade balance' into an unfavorable one. But it is sig- nificant, as the Globe's news despatch points out, that the decrease in exports is more than accounted for by the drop in the shipping of wheat to other countries. A more pleasing side of the picture is found in the figures showing an increase in the export of manus factured products. For instance, exports of news- 'Print 'increased from $43,000,000 to $47,000,000 and the export of automobiles and parts jumped from $10,000,000 to over $14,500,000. Thus while Canada's trade balance is unfavorable, a condition which is not very desirable, it is en- couraging to know that the exports of its industries are on the upgrade, and particularly the exports of the automobile industry, in which Oshawa is so great- .1y interested. A continuance of this condition in manufacturing. industries will do much to offset any serious loss which is occasioned by the failure of the western wheat crop. . CANADA'S NATIONAL EXHIBITION 'fn s few days the Canadian National Exhibition, the greatest annual exhibition held anywhere in the world, will open its doors for its 51st year, which, ' §n the words of its publicity department, will pro- wide the greatest exhibition in its history, , The Canadian National Exhibition, once popularly, 1 _ that parochial appellation. It {s, in very truth, a national institution, for every province in the Domin- ion makes a substantial contribution to its success. It is even more than that, trade to the people of Canada. : "The time has long since passed when the Toronto Fair, to give it its old name, who looked upon as a a place of amusement only. It has become an educa~ tional institution, a business institution, and an in- stitution which gives Canadians a true perspective of "tions to art, agriculture, and industry in all its ~ branches. It has, of courpe, {ts lighter features, but the great factor which has made it what it is can be found in the magnificent displays of the products of the fleld and the forests, the fisheries and thé 'factories of the Dominion. Toronto has good reason to be proud of the Cana- dian National Exhibition, but it shoyld be remem- bered that it is not Toronto's own show, but that the whele nation plays a large part in the make-up of 'the great expesition which will, in the two weeks of its duration, be visited by two and a half millions of people. EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL nnn mm---- The splendid equality of British justice was nicely demonstrated in a London police court the other day, when two men stood in the dock together charged 'with' rowdyism. Onme-of them, it turned out after questioning, was Lord Howard of Effingham, heir of the Earl of Efingham.. The other was a common la: borer, whose name did not even appear in the de: spatches. Both of them were charged with the same offence, both were found guilty, and the same sentence was imposed on each of them. There was no lessening of the demands of justice on the earl's son as com- pared with that meted out to the laborer. Money, rank, position, mean nothing to the men who occupy the bench in the British courts. Would that the same could be said in other countries which are sup- posed to have copied their judicial codes from that of Britain. ; ons to ars, seriitur, sud industry In ah 2 STRAIGHT SHOOTERS Anyone who is anxious to find out why it is that Catddian marksmen year after year perform so cred- itably at the great Bisley shooting meeting in Eng- land can find the angwer in the meeting of the Dom- inion Rifle Association at Ottawa last week. At that meeting, there wad some remarkable marksmanship, particularly in the competition known as the Walker Match, In that particular competition, which was one of the most difficult of the whole meeting, eight men ere tied for first place with the possible score of 70, 25 more tied for second place, with 69, 36 tied for third place with 68, 37 tied for fourth with 67, and 74 tied for fifth place with 66. This means that 180 marksmen, out of 418 in the competition, came within four points of each other. . 'Whatever opinions one may have-as to the value of rifle shooting, it must be admitted that this is a re- markable exhibition of the skill of Canadians in straight shooting. So long as records of that kind can be madé on the ranges at hole, Canada will have no difficulty in sending to Bisley teams that will win the highest honors in competition with the whole Empire. THROUGH OTHER EYES It is sometimes worth while to try to see ourselves as others see us, particularly when we are apt to be borne down with an idea that the lot of our country is an unfortunate one. An American magazine gives Canadians an opportunity of looking at their own condition through other eyes, and the sight is an encouraging one, for the magazine says: -- "Canada owns a million cars, a million and a third telephones. They bought a million dollars of new life insurance last year; have better than a billion and a half in their savings banks. Business is run- ning 61 per cent over the 1919-1924 average, and the national income has increased 20 per cent in three years." Coming from a country which is not much given to praising other nations, this acknowledgement of existing conditions in Canada is worth noting. The increase in business, in life insurance and in savings and the national income is a fairly good index of the trend of things in Canadas. The only trouble is that we are so close to this condition that we do not notice as much of it as observers from the outside.

Barton, M.D. +DEATH FROM A HANGNAIL A prominent business man died .the other day from blood poisoning. The details were "from an infec- tion of a hang nail on his thumb acute blood poisoning developed, and in one week he was dead." Now why can a simple little con- dition like a hangnail cause blood poisoning and death? Simply because Nature's great pro- tector--the skin--was broken. ' The skin looks to be such an or- dinary thing, just a sort of cover- ing for the body, like the covering you put over ah umbrella which hides the ridges and folds. You perhaps think of the skin in the same way and yet it is as deli- cately organized as any organ in the body. It regulates the body heat, keeps out water, carries a supply of water in it for emergencies, and prevents poisons from entering the body. It. has a number of coats, the outer couple of which scale off during use leaving other coats beneath to do their work in safety. However when these outer coats are removed or injured, and the coats below with the blood vessels, are exposed, then trouble can start. Fortunately Nature is kind here as elsewhere, and exposure to the air simply helps a cut or injury to heal more rapidly. But if that little injury or cut, such as a hangnail, comes in contact with certain organisms which may be on money (this man was a bank- er), on a knife or scissors with which the hangnail is removed, perhaps happens by the teeth, then blood poisoning may result. The condition of the individual, and the strength or virulence of the organisms enter into the fight. Or- ganisms get into the body frequently, but infection occurs because the in- dividual is worn out physically. Fortunately in most cases the re- sult is not fatal, but the lesson is there for us all. Any little cut, if only the slightest scratch, should be treated with the idea of the dangers that may arise if proper care is not exercised. Washing with any antiseptic solu- tion of boric acid, carbolic acid, ly- s0l, iodine, putting just one layer of gauze over it to protect it from dirt, allows the air to get to it, and helps it to heal quickly.

Immigration Problems . As Seen From Owerseas (By A. R. Kennedy, Editor of the London, July 3.--~When at home I recall having head a good many po- litical addresses on the advisability of securing more British immigrants, especially for our vacant farm ter- ritory. I haye also heard it pointed out that the British people were not very anxious to come, so it has been interesting to ask questions and make observations, Bruce Walker, Canadian immigra- tion agent in London, tells me that there has been a thirty per cent in- crease this year of British stock. But statistics do not show that there will be an unlimited number of people who will go to Canadian farms and make a success of it, neither does a casual survey of the situation point in that direction. That may not be a very popular statement with some of the folk at home, but let us reason it out. Landing at Cherbourg and going to Paris one sees numerous people at work in the flelds. Whole families seem to be employed there, men, wo- men. and children. On from France to Austria, the same thing is seen. Entering and passing through Czech- Slovakia and on into Germany, the same picture is presented. Thous- ands of people out working in the fields. Belgium and Holland present a similar picture. There is, in all those European countries, a tremen- dous peasant population, who are schooled in the art of intensive pro- duction. In England it is different. Comparatively few people seem to be at work on the land. Statistics show that but two and one-half per cent. of the population is agricultural, and men who are going to take up farm work in Canada have to be trained for it. They are not what might be called "land-minded," and it is for that reason that I cannot see where Canada is going to secure a great number of people here who will go government is part of the which the men pay while at work; employers also contribute and the state cashes in on the scheme as well. I have talked it over with at Jeast a dozen men in various places. They tell me that if they are out of work they will draw. their 28 shillings or so per week, and they regard that as a sure thing. Will Canada guar- antee them steady work at a decent wage, bringing in a good bit more than they get now from the dole or for working? No, Canada guaran- tees them nothing. Then, they reply, why should I go out there? Politicians here like. to state that the cure for the unemployment fis sending the surplus population out of the country, Personally, I don't believe that is the cure at all, and also there is the stubborn fact that the population is not keen to be sent out of the country. As far as I can gather the Can- adian emigration authorities here have done all they can. They lecture. They show pictures, they help in training young men, they answer questions, they seek to find farmers in Canada who will take the British farm hand. But the so-called farm hands are not from the land in the great majority of cases. They are from the land in the great majority of cases. They are from the con- gested centres of population. Automobile Output in Canada Was Remarkable The Canadian motor vehicle out- put figures for the first half of the year present an extraordinary pro- duction picture. During each of the first four months all production re- cords for corresponding months of previous years were eclipsed and March and April in succession set what the financial writers, with an utter contempt for the future, would designate as "all time" production records for any month. The preced- ing record month was May of last year when 33,942 motor vehicles were produced in Canada. In March of this year the output of the dom- inion's motor vehicle plants was 40,- 621 motor vehicles and in April pro- duction reached 41,901. May output this year was some two thousand, three hundred units under the May figures of last year and in June com- pared with June of 1928 production dropped nearly seven thousand units. The total for the first six months of the current year was 188,361 mo- tor vehicles a gain of sixty-three thousand over the previous record six months the first half of last year and more than three quarters of the previous record year's total 242,382 motor vehicles in 1928.

May ..eoneee June BIG CHANGES IN THAMES SIDE@F EMPIRE CAPITAL Familiar Landmarks For Many Years, Disappear Big changes will be made in the riverside aspect of London when the housebreakers get to work to prepare for the new south-side station and Charing-cross Bridge. Very familiar landmarks will disappear, writes Walter 8. Bell, an authority on Old London. If L.C.C., railway sharehoeld- ers, and Parliament itself are in har- mony over a much-desired London improvement, the bill should - be through when the next summer comes round. It involves as a first step a clean sweep of everything that stands upon the Surrey side between lovely Waterloo Bridge (not seen at {ts best just now) and the little-loved structure that throws out its iron arms from Charing-cross over the river. Agreed that much there may go and none regret it, though this, one recalls, was a stretch of the riv- er bank which Whistler often pic- tured, in all its disorderliness, with pencil or etching needle; but what Londoner will see without sense of loss the passing of the Shot Tower? And, too, the Brewery, with its lion perched so high and ready to spring? Two Famous Lions Is there a living Londoner who has not known them since childhood? Till the gpventies of last century a yet moré majestic lion of the Percys stood above Northumberland House in the Strand, and when very young I learnt that at midnight, while I was sleeping, this stone lion got off his pedestal and walked round. Elder people of those days, too, knew how one lion called to.the other across the river. I never saw either walking round, nor heard the two exchanging the time of day. But countless thousands who have been London children know the story of those lions. That the last survivor should, in respected old age, now come down to make place for a rail way station, is really depressing. The Shot Tower, toq, has stood through the lives of all of us. There aré others not dissimilar by Thames- side, but this great turret nestling by the side of Waterloo Bridge is "The Shot Tower." It has stood, the veteran of the breed, since 1789. Messrs. Watts then built it. They had a new idea for making shot. Till that year the process had been to pour molten lead upon an iron plate pierced with small round holes, the lead drops falling into water 124,988 107,869 17,119 25,226 20,122 31,245 24,274 21,193 16,672 18,536 13,016 11,769 8,154 9425 6,734 242,382 196,741 5,104 September .. 4,621 October November ..

(6 m'ths) BAN ON SALAGIOUS LITERATURE URGED Labor Suggests Committee to Curb Entrance of Periodicals Montreal --Protests against sala- cious literature, and the reason for the increase in the price of bread, held the attention of the Trades and Labor Council at its regular monthly meeting. y A heated debate arose on a resolu- tion calling upon the Government to suppress the flow of immoral lits erature coming into this country and supporting the attitude of the Mont- real Board of Trade favoring the appointment of a national committee to aid the Government to accomplish this work. Immoral Periodicals The resolution which was a lengthy one set forth that "foreign periodi- cals and newspapers are circulated in Canada which are immoral in char- acter; which directly or indirectly bring Canadian and British institu- tions into ridicule and contempt, and which hold out as worthy of praise and imitation social habits and views that are reprehensible." Among the recommendations con- tained in the resolution were: "(1) That the Federal Government be asked to continue the effective suppression of immoral publications; *(2) That as certain of the objects set forth in the preamble of this re- solution cannot be accomplished by Governmental action, it is suggested that Canadian organizations, such as the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Association of Canadian Clubs, agri- cultural associations, Canadian or organizations, service clubs, etc, form a national committee for the suppres- sion of undesirable foreign literature, and that this committee should. Arrange With Press '(a) Make 'it generally known that it is ready to receive and deal with complaints about undesirable litera- ture; « '(b) 'Arrange with the Press in all centres to expose and answer any ars ticles holding up Canadian and Brit- ish institutions to ridicule and con- tempt; '(c) Confer with news agencies with a view to discouraging the, distribu tion of periodicals and newspapers which constantly and regularly bring Canadian and British institutions in- to contempt, or which hold. out as worthy of praise and imitation social habits which are reprehensible; '(d) Encourage the purchase of publications from news agencies which will co-operate with the afore- said committee in its endeavors.' 6,971 a yard or so below. These shots would not come out truly spherical. Where they hit the water they flattened, and the sports- man who found his charge of shot 5,520 i scattering much too wide, and saw bird or rabbit moving away unceén- cerned, roundly cursed. Making Round Shet It was Watt's inspiration to loose the lead drops from a great height, so that the metal hardened before reaching the water; and so they won a true sphere. This Shot Tower stands in height no less than 140 ft. a mighty tall fellow, and the little pellets get a straight fall of 124 ft. through the air. Let us allow to London the credit for an invention that has given much joy. When the Shot Tower falls un- der the house-breaker's pick we shall loge the reminder of it on our Em- bankment walks. There should be fewer qualms when a waste-paper store goes, dry eyes to- gether anyhow, are not highly pie. turesque, but here on the bank they play their part in the life and ac- tivities of the metropolitan river, and out of the confusion of roofs there rises a fine sky-line, Slowly the Surrey side loses this character it has worn so long, and is becoming formal and regular. An Embankment promenade has already crept down from Vauxhall to the red- roofed County Hall. Soon and inevi- tably it will arrive at Waterloo Bridge, and will look towards Black- friars in no distant future. But the Lion Brewery and the Shot Tower. are old friends. On the former the passer-by notices cryptic words, "To Let." Clearly it has no inkling of what fate keeps in store.

Opposes Resolution J. A. H. Foucher oppostd the re- solution on the ground that it was a 'scheme directed against those who wish to educate the people." . He viewed with alarm the appoint- ment of a committee whose sole aim and object would be to see to the en- forgement of an order prohibiting the cathy or circulation in Canada of ob- jectionable literature. "We have a Government charged with. the regula- tion of out morals," he pointed out. In his argument, Mr. Foucher claimed that much of the literature circulated here and aimed at by the resolution was printed in Canada. Some have even considered the "Bible immoral," he said. The national cenosors are strict enough, he thought, and never fail to whatever they believe tends to undermine the morals of the people, "As a matter of fact," he concluded, "our censorship is too strict" Ask 1 : An inquiry by the Ministry of La- bor into the cause of the bakers in- creasing the price of bread will be asked as the result of a resolution passed at the mesting of the Trades and Labor Council.
