TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1930 Er) GOODWILL OR WAR The two alternatives which the future of mankind, were admirably expressed in an address to the Canadian Club of Toronto a few days ago by Dr. C. W. Colby, .an internationally recognized au thority in the field of history and international rela- tions. Dr. Colby put the case in a nutshell, in a brief sentence, saying: lace "More and more it becomes clear that there must be co-operation in good faith by the ablest men of goodwill in the world, or else we shall have something beside which the great war would appear to be a skirmish," That seems like a pretty bald statement, but there it is: on one hand, goodwill -bringing peace: on the other hand,--an even more disastrous war than that whieh ravaged Europe from 1914 to 1918, Of course, there would be no difficulty in making a choice between these two alternatives if the great mass of people had their way. There is not a ves- tige of real war spirit left in' the world, but unfor- tunately, its place has not as yet been fully taken by the spirit of goodwill which is so necessary to peace- ful international relationships. Men have always been competitors in business, just as nations have been competitor's in world af- fairs. But in business, men have learned to take their competitors by the hand, instead of .by the throat, and that is just what is wanted to promote that spirit of international good fellowship that will co-operate in good faith, The international service clubs have the right idea, They are founded on the principles of the brother- hood of man, and these are the principles that will, if carried out to their logical and final conclusion, abolish the second of the two alternatives, and make the first supreme, SUNDAY ADVERTISING It would be interesting to know what steps, if any, the Lord's Day Alliance has taken with regard to what is one of the most flagrant breaches of the Lord's Day. That is the practice which has become quite common in Canada of advertising programs be- ing broadcast from Canadian radio stations on Sun- day. Qi eourse, Car broadcast from the ten in to stations across the border have to put up with it. But Canada docs liaye some control over what i8 and is not proper for Sunday, and there is a growing feeling that the practice of doing adver- tising on Sunday should be curbed by this country. We have no desire to ape the United States Sabbath observance, or non-observance, in this country, and the introduction of Sunday advertising by radio, a practice which would be immediately stopped were any newspaper to attempt such a thing, is just the thin end of the wedge. Canada has high ideals for Sabbath observance. She: has laws in which these idcals are embodied, and surely these laws ought to be applied to large corporations such as have established radio stations or are sing radio stations for advertising purposes, just as they are applied to the little corner store which. might be tempted to sell merchandise on a Sunday. \ ada has no control over programs United States, so those who lis- HELPING CANADA PROSPER Col. J. H. Woods of Calgary, president of the Canadian, Chamber of Commerce, has been speaking at a banquet of the Woodstock Board of Trade, The keynote of his address, as given by the Sentinel Review, reads: "As the United States, by her rapid . growth and development, astonished the world in the 19th century, so the Dominion of Canada in an even greater measure is astonishing the world in the 20th century." if this were merely "applesauce and hot air" it would not be worth attention, but it is the same view that we hear constantly repeated by presidents of banks, leaders of business, and public men who know the condition of the country everywhere. Who is not optimistic about Canada? Apparently only the politicians who are not in power, and their _ conception of politics does not permit them to recog- nize prosperity, nor the efforts to promote it, made by anyone but' themselves. Allowing for Col. Woods' en sm, there is no doubt that the Chambers of Commerce in their united action have accomplished a real service for the country, and the lesson that 'in union is strength has not been lost upon them. Co-operation such as the president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce describes is the solution of most of the problemsethat Canada has to solve, and ' the extraordinary progress the country has made and is making in the facc of conditions that have led many to falter, should assure us that the future of the Dominion lies entirely in our own hands,--~Ham- ilton Herald. . MADE-IN-CANADA GOODS Kitcheper is planning an exhibition of Made-in- Canada~goods, to be held in April.. The thought be- hind this exhibition is one which has often been stressed, but which can always bear reiteration, This is particularly true at the present time, when therc is an inclination towards depression in Canadian in- dustry. The result of buying goods manufactured in Can- adian factories is so obvious that one wonders that it is necessary to say anything about it at all. It is only clear logic to point out that money spent for goods manufactured clsewhere, and imported into Canada, goes to keep foreign factories and foreign workmen busy On the other hand, money spént in buying Canadian-made goods helps to keep the wheels of industry turning in this country, helps to give em- ployment to Canadian workmen. There can be no argument as to which is the bet- ter economic plan for Canada, but it does seem as if the Canadian people need a good deal of educa- tion to perssade them to increase their purchases of Canadian goods and reduce their imports. They may and may not be willing to absorb this educa- tion, but it would of a certainty help conditions in Canada were even a part of the tens of millions of dollars spent for imported articles spent on Canadian goods which would be just as good and just as ac- ceptable, SCOTCH JOKES It has been asked sometimes why there should be so many jokes against the Scotch, known to be the most generous of people when the cause is right, and not lacking in public spirit, but rather more ag- gressive and progressive than the average person of any other race of people under the world, The answet is, that the Scot likes to perpetuate the joke on Nigmaelt, The evidence is that Scotland annually export thousands of calendars on which there is a Scotch joke for every day in the year. Aberdeen comes first of course fn this array, After all, it is the spirit of tolerance which counts. And .. sense of humor is a saving grace to any people. The Scot has it--St, Catharines Standard. THE WHEAT POOL'S - ATTITUDE AND ITS RESULTS Major Ralph Webb, mayor of Winnipeg, had some pertinent remarks to make at the recent unemploy- ment conference in his city regarding the effect on employment in Canada of the attitude of the Can- adian Wheat Pool. In his remarks, Mayor Webb ex- pressed the conviction that the action of the pool, in holding back its wheat from the market, was al- most entirely responsible for the unemployment. sits uation that exists. It has robbed the railways of a huge amount of business, throwing thousands of rail- waymen out of work, and the effects of this have been far-reaching, And, by deferring the day of settlement with the farmers, it has kept hundreds of millions of dollars out of circulation in this country. These were the views expressed by Mayor Webb, and he voiced the feelings of a large section of the Canadian public in stating them. The wheat pool, of course, knows its own business best. Its officials are still convinced that their attitude is a sound one, and that the western farmers will eventually reap the benefit in higher prices; But the rest of the country is paying dearly for this attitude, and is suf- fering from a condition of unemployment such as has not been known in Canada for years. The only hope that one can express is that the attitude of the wheat pool proves right, and that they reap the benefits which are hoped for in time to bring about an early return of prosperity to this country. CANADA'S NORTHLAND All eyes in Canada are today turned to the North and watching the varied developments taking place there. No longer is this region regarded as a bar- ren waste, but as one possessed of a tremendous potentiality, The young, the vigorous, the 'adventurous, are moving in that direction and the entire northern fringe is pulsating with vivid life as things undreamt of a few years ago arc being undertaken and car- ried through by new pioneers equipped by science and modern invention, Despite this armor, life is just as raw and elemen- tal as it ever was in the out-of-the-way places, with the same primal forces to be attacked and overcome. The great North is the land of the future, the new realm of adventure and romance, For many years it will offer the utmost satisfaction to real men seck- ing careers beyond civilizations frontiers. There is no need to bemoan the passing of the he-man's age. --Kitchener Record. EDITORIAL NOTES Butterflies have been seen flying around in Port Arthur, But the people there are still looking at the coal bin with anxious eyes. : Kitchener Record has a feature headed "Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale." We wonder if this is news or fiction, There may be somethign wrong with Ontario farming, as a newspaper headline suggests, but it is not suffering from lack of advice. Have you got your 1930 license markers yet? We got ours yesterday, so can quite safely write this paragraph, Jurymen in the United States have the privilege of sampling bootleg liquor during trials. But even jurymen are not too anxious to commit suicide. Job had many trials in his day, but in that day there were no radio sets to be made useless by static. By the time some motorists have memorized their new automobile li bers, it will be time to think of securing the 1931 ones, Recent developments in connection with brokerage firms have convinced more people than ever that the stock market business is a good thing to keep away from. Other Editor's Comments THE PRESS SAYS: Exeter Times-Advocate: "Some of the most heart-breaking read- ing of the last few weeks is the account of the persons in high standing in the community who have proven themselves scoundrels, Along with these stories is the be- tween-the-lines account of men and women who have failed to es- orcise the most elementary precau- tions in the management of their funds." Simcoe Reformer: '"'An ironical touch was lent to the Hubbs affair by the provision of wind insurance covering the mythical houses a- gainst blowing away. The gulli- bility of persons who will lend money without investigating thelr security cannot be too strongly em- phasized, but the loss of their en- tire life's saving by many elderly people whose confidence was so rudely violated by Hubbs, calls for general sympathy. Dunnville Gazette: "Dally re- ports of defalcations i nall parts | of the country by men who have been entrusted with the handling of other people's, money are for the most part the aftermath of the recent slump in the stock market That orgy of speculation left be- hind it a long trail of wrecked lyse, ruined homes, despair and even suicide." Chesley Enterprise: "It is not much to warn some peole, They seem determined to waste ther sub- stance. It is usually the hope of large dividends which is the in- centive for persons with money to invest to hand over their gilt-ed- ged bonds or cash for worthless stoek." | Bits of Verse | TOM PAYNE He did his bit; in Flanders' Fields, Qut there where poppies grow; He fought in mud, like others did. With youthful hearts aglow. ie gave his best that they at home Might still in freedom live; No thought had he that in return Was gratitude to give, He gave ®and giving he received The cost of youth's fond dreams, His native land's indifference, And all that misery means, te played the game from first to las In war and bed of pain, With cheery heart he took his fate, Not once did he complain, His name will live when pension boards Have passed their way along!

IT IS EASY TO CRITICIZE It is easy to sit in the sunshine And talk to the man in the shade; It is easy to float in a well trimmed boat And point out the places to wade. But. oncé we pass into the shadows, We murmur and fret and frown And our length from the bank, we shout for a plank, Or' throw up our hands down, and go It is easy to sit in our carriage And counsel the man on foot; But get down and walk and you'll] change your talk, As you fee] the peg in your boot, | It is easy to tell the toiler | How best he can carry his pack; | But net onc can rate a burden's weight Until it has been on his back, The up-curled mouth of pleasure Can preach of sorrow's worth; But give it a sip, and a wryer lip Was never made on earth.

Bits of Humor Webster is in "As This story of Daniel told by Gamaliel Bradford God Made Them": When Webster was a boy in the digtrict school, he was not noted for tidiness, Finally the teacher, in de- spair, told him that if he appeared again with such dirty hands she would punish him, He did appear, in the same condition, "Daniel," she said, hand." Daniel spat on his palm, rubbed it on the scat of his trousers, and held it out, The teacher surveyed it in disgust, "Daniel," she said, "if you can find me another hand in this school that hy, distier than that, I will let you off." Daniel promptly held out the other hand, and she had to keep her word.

Albinism is the condition éx- isting due to the lack of pigment in the human body. This is very strik- ing because it 1s the presence of this pigment that gives color to the iris and this lack of pigment makes the color of the eye take on a pinkish shade due to the vascular coloring showing through the more transpar- ent tissues on account of this pig mentary lack. This condition may run in families and again a certain weakness, if not the actual condition, may show. This may mean that there may only be a lack of pigment in certain structures of the body, while others may appear more normal. This is sometimes no- ticeable in eye conditions certain cases showing all the qualities of the extremely fair person while another member of the same family may show the same eye condition and not all the accompanying symptoms show ing in the case of the more unfor- tunate member. AR GANANOQUE RICH = INSPOTS SACRED T0 EARLY HISTORY Islands ot st. Lawrence Were Scenes of Struggles For Empire (Written for The Canadian Press by G. H, Williamson) Gananoque, Ont., Feb, 4--This town is situated in the historic reg- ion of the Thousand Islands, which for more than a century and a half were fighting ground of nations--the Iroquois and . Huron Indians, the French, the British, the United States dnd Canada, Opposite Gananoque is the Admiralty Group of islands, in the Canadian channel of the St. Lawrence River, Station Island was an important spot near Gananoque just before France lost possession of Canada, From 1755 to 1760 the Eng- lish held Oswego, while the French had control of the lakes, with a strong fort at Cataraqui, now Kingston, The French received their supplies from Montreal in batteaux, which came up the river in detachments, numbering 10 or more batteaux or more. The English kept spies on the lookout for the arrival of these convoys of stores and provisions with a view to their capture. Station Island was fixed on as a suitable place for a rendezvous from which to waylay the expected fleet of batteaux. The island was chosen because it was the nearest spot to Oswego that could be select- ed; the chances of recapture were lessened and the oncoming batteaux could be watched unseen by the French. From Lookout Island the river below could be seen; the French ost at Cataraqui 18 miles west could bo watched, and the island itself could hardly be distinguished from those by which it was surrounded. The island borders on the Bostwick channel, ont of the prettiest among fair with white skin and hair, abnor- |+ John 16:7, . the Thousand Island region, By James W. Barton, M.D. AS STRAIGHT AS AN ARAB A traveller in North Africa some years ago was particularly impressed with the erect carriage of the na- tive Arabs at all ages and under all circumstances, Whether swaying back and forth on a camel's back, running along be- side a train of camels or laden don- keys, or sitting spon a rock eating, the Arab always holds his trunk er- ect, as straight as a pine. Dr. J. H. Kellogg, the traveller in question, was naturally of the opin- oin that his erectness of carriage was hereditary, In conversation with an American who had lived among the Arabs for over thirty years he was informed that the erect carriage was the re- sult of the most careful training from carly childhood. In tents one may of- ten hear a father or mother exclaim- nig "Sit up Abraham, sit up; you lok like a fool doubled up so, sit up." The erect carriage is actually ac- quired by sitting tall and standing tall. That is that whether you are sitting or standing you should natur- ally take the poise that increases your height to the utmost. Just sec what happens; the becomes erect, the chin is drawn backward, the chest stands out in front, and the abdomen is drawn in. What happens to the interior of the body ? The lungs get more room, the heart also, the abdominal organs are held "high" in their proper positions so that the stomach empties itself prop- erly, the small intestine gets its best chance to absorb' the food, and the large intestine tannot get"kinked" or form loops that cause gas formation and constipation, The difference between your height in a careless attitude and that which 18 correct, can easily be over an inch. Just stand against a door frame in your usual "easy" manner. Mark your height with a pencil Then simply stand tall--drawn in abdomen, throw out chest, and draw in chin. If you mark this height you will find it about an inch more. Now in addition to standing and sitting tall there is one set of mus- cles, that if developed, will give you the crectness of the Arab. These are the. front abdominal muscles. Whether you bend over and try to touch toes with the knees straight, or lie on hack and raise legs with knees straight, a number of times, twice daily, either exercise will bring results. head You'll find that you will get near- | er your toes every week, or be able to raise your "heavy" feet a number of times more by persistence, Remember the Arab got his erect- ness by training; he wasn't born that way. Then, not far from Gananoque, is the lost channel, well known to St. islands. The attempt failed, but the Johnson gang finally got the Sir Rob- ert Peel. Johnson eventually settled at Clayton, N.Y, nine miles across the River St. Lawrence from Ganan- oque. He kept an inn there for many years. LIFTING GOLD EMBARGO WILL NOT EFFECT SITUATION Tokyo, Feb. 4.--General opinion here among the financial men is that the lifting of the gold embargo re- cently will not greatly affect the pre- sent situation, the government having paved the way with far-reaching pre- cautious and the people have been thoroughly prepared and in favor of the change. According to well-informed bank- ers, the smaller banks will join those which are more influential in check- ing a currency inflation and there will be no large outflow of bullion, as had been suspected some weeks ago. The only thing which would cause bullion to move out from Jap- an is a large increase in imports dir- ectly consequent upon the lifting of the ban. It 1s probable that this will be the case, but the credit of Japan abroad is ample to meet the initial demand and conditions will return to normal within a short time, the ex- perts believe. The main purpose behind the lifting of the ban is to raise the credit standing of Japan in foreign coun- tries by placing the country on the gold standard once more. Japan has the support of Great Britain and the United States in this, so can rest as- sured that no disastrous consequences are likely to be encountered. The rise in moncy rates resulting from the outflow of gold even in «mall volume,will be the most in- teresting feature of the occasion, some contend. The government, how ever, has prepared for this contin- gency. Japan first enforced the ban on gold in September, 1917, following the similar action taken by the United States, All European countries were at that time prohibiting the export of gold and suspending the conver- sion of notes into gold. The United States had been the only exception, and when the United States entered the war, advances to European coun- tries by the United States increased substantially and its international debt and credit relatoin became ad- verse with an outflow of gold, part of which found its way out Germany through neutral channels. Under the circumstancgs the United States de- clared an embargo on gold, and be- cause gold was flowing to British In- dia and China, Japan did likewise on the advice of metallists. - When the United States lifted the ban in 1920 conditions seemed pro- pitious for Japan to do likewise but before action was taken Japan wa: plunged into the post-war depressior which culminated in the serious fin. ancial losses due to the earthquake Since that time, although financial conditions have gradually improved the gold embargo question has been a political issue and settlement has thus been delayed until now.

It was in this channel that Captain , Loring who served in the expedition of General Amherst and Sir Wilkam Johnson that was organized at Oswego to cap- ture Fort Levis near Ogdensburg, lost two small vessels of the fleet. When Captain Loring entered the Ad- miralty Group he was assailed on every hand by French and Indians. | The channel layout puzzled those in! charge and the English were killed | and scalped by the Indians. Ever afterwards the place was called "The Lost Channel." On the south side of Wellesley Isl- | and, called after the victor of Water- | loo, thie man who conquered the great Napoleon, to the south east of Gan- | anoque, is the Peel Wharf, marking | the spot where the British steamer Sir Robert Peel was sunk on the night of May 30, 1838, by the outlaw, Bill Johnson, a native of Lower Can- ada, and a Rebellion friend of Wil- liam Lyon Mackenzie. There were Fenian preparations for an attack on Kingston during the previous winter while the. ice was formed, but the at- tempt failed. The sinking of the Peel was carried out after the pas- sengers were put ashore, the vessel first. being set afire. The hulk still lies at the bottom of the river, but 25 years ago the anchor was raised and is said to be in a New York City museum, The writer, on a visit to the spot some time ago, was surprised to find that practically nobody in the lo- cality knew anything about the sink- ing of the Peel. The wharf has re- tained its old name given to it after the sinking of the vessel during those troublesome times in Upper and Lower Canada. The name "Gananoque" is of In- dian origin. The original orthogra- phy of the word was "Cadanorhqua," meaning, "the place of health," which 1s what the town's former mayor, Billy Wilson, is pleased to impress upon travellers now that he is the town's publicity manager as well as Canadian Pacific Railway representa- tive. The Hurons called the place "Gananoqui," which means, "the place of thealeer." It 'as not until the year 1800 that the name "Gananoque" came into use, Two men noted in Empire Loyalist history were closely connected with Gananoque in its early days. They were Sir John Johnson, a British commander dur- ing the American War of Independ- ence, and Colonel Joel Stone who were thé first to receive grants of land which covered the entire limits of the place as it now stands, The late Charles Macdonald, the great bridge engineer, who died in his na- tive t of Gananoque two years ago, was a grandson of Colonel Stone, known as the founder of Gananoque. The first store in the place was op- ened by his father, also Charles Mac- donald. In 1831 a steamboat, which later figured in Rebellion incidents of 1827-38, the William IV, was built at Gananoque, This was the vessel that the notorious Bill Johnson, outlawed by both Canada and the United States, and his followers, attempted to capture by stretching a chain across a narrow channel between two EGG ......
