Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1930 BUYING IN OSHAWA The merchants of Oshawa are in today's issue of The Times announcing a great mer- chandising event in an effort to prove to the people qf this city that it is worth while to do their shoppig in Oshawa. This commun- ity, like others in close proximity to large metropolitan centres, loses a great deal of its prosperity by the custom which has be- come prevalent of going elsewhere to buy. This custom of seeking far fields is a de- triment to any city. The local merchants, citizens of Oshawa, ratepayers and employ- ers of labor in the city, are worthy of the support of the buying public. And when it is proven, as the merchants are doing in to- day's announcements, that a dollar will go just as far or farther in Oshawa than any- where else, there can be no valid excuse for shopping elsewhere. Knowing that the people of Oshawa can save money by patronizing their local mer- chants during this dollar day sale, The Times Dbespeaks for the merchants the hearty sup- port and patronage of the whole community. DAYLIGHT SAVING The city council of Toronto has decided to establish daylight saving from April 27 to September 28 of this year. It is unfortunate of course, that this practice is not at least province-wide, but, while the list of cities and towns under dayilght saving is growing each year, there are still too many places i .olit of the list to make the system uniform. * In Oshawa, it is taken for granted that "tHe city council will proclaim daylight saving for a period to coincide with that fixed by Toronto. For business reasons if for no other, this is highly advisable. And the bene- fits of daylight saving to an industrial com- « munity such as Oshawa has become are so . 'apparent and numerous that there need be no hesitation in adopting it again this sum- mer. AN IMPORTANT APPLICATION +» This week one of the most important ap- plications ever heard by the Tariff Board will come before that body, the application -for legislation that will prevent used auto- mobiles from the United States being dump- ed into Canada to undersell Canadian used cars. This practice has been one of the great difficulties which hte Canadian automobile industry has to face since, owing to the low- er prices for cars in the United States, and the lower values for used cars, these can easily be shipped across the border, reliev- ing the glut in the United States and giving automobile dealers in this country unfair competition. ' This is a matter which affects more than. automobile manufacturers and dealers. It affects every car owner who some day ex- pects to trade in his old car for a new one, gince it has a direct effect on the price he will receive for the car he is turning in. This request for legislation to prevent dumping of United States used cars into Canada has so much logical common-sense behind it that it is hard to see how consid- eration can be refused, particularly in view of the great importance which the automo- bile industry has attained in this country. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE New Zealand has followed the lead of the Mother Country in adopting a system of un- employment insurance. In the despatch tell- . ing of the innovation, the word "dole" was used to describe the scheme, although this has been proven a complete misnomer. The explanation of the system in force in Britain, and adopted by New Zealand should be sufficient to prove that unemploy- ment insurance is not a charity scheme, It is a straight insurance plan. The workers, while employed make their contributions, pay premiums, as it were, into the general _insurance fund. Employers also make 'con- tributions for all those in their employ. And from this fund, into which the workers have 'paid while. in 'employment, the benefits. are .- paid out to those who are unfortunate en- ough to be unable to secure work, In effect, it is just like most other kinds of insurance, the person paying the prem- of the scheme. No person can obtain bene- fits without being a contributor, and no person can obtain benefits who refuses to accept employment when it is offered. While employment insurance has been strongly criticized by those who do not un- derstand the scheme, it is, nevertheless, a sound method of making provision for the days of unemployment, and it might be well for the government of Canada to give seri- ous consideration to the possibility of devis- ing some scheme. of the kind that would fit in with conditions in this country. WILL THERE BE AN ELECTION? While Premier King, in his speech in the House of Commons on Monday, made some remarks regarding' the next election, he left the public entirely in the dark as to whether it would be held this year or next year. The most he would say was that the election would be held when the government consid- ered it would be in the best interests of the people of Canada. That, of course means that there will be an election when the government believes its chances of being again returned to power are best. It must, of course, go to the coun- try next year, at the very latest, and there is a hint in the premier's speech that it may go before then, but Premier King is very much like Premier Ferguson in that he is trying to keep his finger on the pulse of the people, so that he can select the physcholog- ical moment--for the Liberal party--for his election appeal. Time alone will tell whether he is as good at choosing election dates as the Ontario premier provad to be. ANOTHER GOVERNMENT DEFEATED As was predicted a few days ago, the gov- ernment of Premier Chautemps of France, was defeated on its first vote. Thus France is again without a government, and the work of the Naval Conference is again delayed by the inability of France to send any delegates to represent that country. It is an unfortunate situation in every way, and demonstrates the futility of the French system of government. With so many different groups to be considered, it is almost impossible for any form of stabil- ity, for no government can have any assur- ance that it is going to survive for any length of time. What the outcome will be is, of course, doubtful. The most likely outcome is that Mons. Tardieu will be called upon to form a new government, and that he will align his forces in such a manner as to be able to carry on for a time at least. One would imagine that, in the face of so important an event as the naval conference, there would be a strong desire to leave a government in peace from the fear of defeat, but apparently the French political leaders are quite un- concerned over what happens in London so jong as they can play their little game of 'in again, out again" in Paris. EDITORIAL NOTES One satisfaction about dying in Russia is that there will be no squabbling about the estate afterwards. Cigarette manufacturers are agitating for a lower tariff. That would certainly be a popular pre-election move. The time is coming when it will be more of a distinction not to have an automobile than to have one. A wife in China can be purchased for ten cents says a report. But what about the upkeep and the depreciation. Most jobs around the house are now be- ing done by electricity. There is no sign of relief yet, however, for the man who has to carry out the ashes. A murder is committed every forty min- utes in the United States. Here's a record that the U. 8. is welcome to keep. French governments might last a little longer if they were not so anxious to secure votes of confidence. Italy, at any rate, did not whitewash General Nobile's part in the Italia disaster. Why is it that United States newspaper reporters always have to refer to women bandits as "Pretty blondes." A man in Budapest has been unable to sleep for fifteen years. Wonder what news- paper he was working for, It is a nice thing to have a family tree, so long as it is not too shady. A college degree is like a medal of honor ' earned.
