One would expect that body to be whole-hearted in its desires to do anything that would provide work for those who are now out of employment, but that is far from being the case, At Monday evening's council meeting, a proposal was made that a request be sent forward asking that the work on the Simcoe Street South subway be done by manual labor instead of by steam shovel, A council seized with the importance of providing work would have adopted that proposal at once, and would have set steps in motion to have it presented to the proper authori: ties, Yet, for some strange reason, it was defeated, on the ground that it might em. barass the negotiations for an early start on the subway project, The excuse given is a ridiculous one, With the possibility of assistance from the federal and provincial governments on this project, a8 A measure of unemployment relief there is some reason to believe that the railway company might have been willing to con. sider a proposal which would provide the maximum amount of employment on the job, The proper thing to do, at least, would have been to try, and find out the railway's attitude, But the council threw up its hands before it entered the fight and said, "Oh, what's the use," and as a result an oppor. tunity to provide men with employment is allowed to slip past, As we said in the beginning, this attitude is beyond comprehension, and leads one: to believe that some members of the council must be playing municipal politics, rather than making a genuine effort to help the un. employment situation, We are not overlooking the fact, however, that the council is providing some employ. ment by going ahead with the construction of the outfall storm sewer for a distance of six hundred feet, and the building of some pavements, These projects, of course, will help, as will the additional program of side. walk construction which has been referred to the hoard of works, if it Is undertaken, But none of these things would have the large effect on the unemployment situation that the subway, project would have were it done hy manual labor rather than by steam shovels, . ANOTHER SUGGESTION FOR THE FAIR With the Oshawa Fair just past, and the directors, no doubt, thinking of the annual meeting to come, and the Fair of next year, the present is a good time to offer sugges: tions as to how the Fair can be improved, The Times has already offered some ideas and there are many others which might be given, We realize, of course, that with the present inadequate buildings the directors are handicapped, yet it is just possible that they might be used to hetter advantage than they are, For en, the building in which the flower and vegetable: show 1s held might very well be turned into an exhibition hall, for the showing of displays by the mer. chants and manufacturers of Oshawa, In order to achieve this, it would only be neces: sary to erect a large tent to accommodate the flower show and the vegetable, grain, and root exhibits, where they could be seen to good advantage, and thus leave the large exhibition hall available for the exhibits men. tioned, Thix would be an added attraction to the Fair, and would help to interest many ple who feel that they have no part in it. The directors might find it worth while to take this suggestion into serious consid: eration, as it is evident that there must be a development of many new ideas before the Fair is placed on the basis on which it ought to be, DRASTIC TARIFF CHANGES a has suddenly found itself project. pei era of high protection, This was inevitable, of course, after the verdict of the electors on July 28 had rejected the King Government and raised the Hon, R, B, Bennett to the position of prime minister of Canada, But it was hardly expected that such sweeping changes would be made in ~ the tariff structure at the present session of the House of Commons, British prefer- ences, intermediate and general tariffs on a wide range of products have been subject to drastic revisions upward, and careful analy- sis will be required before the full effect of these changes can be even estimated, The tariff changes have made, of course, under the guise of a measure for the relief of unemployment, Premier Bennett is sincere in his belief that they will stimu. late the buying of the products of the farms and factories of Canada, by putting prohibi- tive tariffs against imports from outside countries, That Is his theory of politica economy, and he and his followers are wed- ded to it, If that theory works out in prac. tice, there ought to be a stimulation of In. dustry in Canadas, because with the home market so thoroughly protected, the demand for Canadian goods ought to grow by leaps and hounds, : It should not be forgotten, however, that Canada is an exporting country, and must depend on selling her products abroad to keep the wheels of industry going at full speed, The United States has found out to its cost that high tariff walls invite retalia- tion, and that other countries resent having their products barred by this means, Ii might have just the same effect on Canada to have high tariff walls aginst outside pro. ducts, and it would be unfortunate If mar- kets were closed to Canada's natural pro- ducts because Canada in shutting out for. elgn goods, The test of the new schedules, however, will be,/the definite results which they pro- duce, These will not be Instantaneous, but within the next few months it should be pos- sible to decide whether the Bennett policy Is the one for which Canada has been wait. Ing to lift her definitely back into the path of prosperity, UNWORTHY OF A GREAT LEADER Premier Bannett, in a speech in the House of Commons the other day, made a state. ment which seems to us to be unworthy of the leader of a great political party. Re. ferring to newspaper reports of the speeches he made during the eampaign preceding the general election of July 28, he sald: "I am sorry to say, however, that In some Instances some mis-statements (in the press) are deliberate, there have been deliberate mis-statements an most of us know, Therefore, it was with some satisfaction that we had the radio through whieh we were enabled to speak to so many people, They heard what was sald, and they know that the reports of the newspapers were garbled accounts of what had transpired." Mr, Bennett elther sald too much or too little, If he had proof of his assertion, and had backed that up by citing specific Instan- cen of dellberate mis-representation, then he would have been justified in going much farther. But falling to do no, falling to say which papers were included in his condem. nation, he sald too much, It is an old trick of politicians to blame the newspapers whenever they wish to es- cape from the consequences of election cam. palgn speeches, sometimes made in the heat of the moment without sufficient thought and conaideration, but one would hardly ex- pect Mr, Bennett to resort to such tactics We cannot recall any election campaign in the last decade in which the speeches of party leaders were so well and faithfully re. ported, and if there had been any misrepre- sentation, then It was Mr, Bennett's duty to call attention to it at once, and not walt un. til the election was all over and parliament assembled before making 'his attack on the press. If Mr, Bennett has specific cases he can quote then the people of Canada will be glad to know of them, but it was moat un- fair of Mr, Bennett to place a blanket con- demnation on all newspapers without saying exactly what he was talking about, ' EDITORIAL NOTES Shamrock V, did not lose a race yesters day==but then there was no race, Premier Bennett is apparently a believer 'in "the whole hog or nothing." This week is supposed to mark the end of summer, but no one would object were it to stay a little longer, Let the pick and shovel take the place of the steam shovel, We will be really golf-minded when every second back yard ian turned into a Tom Thumb Golf course, St, Catharines has had a very successful buy-at-home fair, Such things are helpful, but they should not be necessary, South America is having an epidemic of revolutions, Thank goodness, ours ia only an epidemic of poliomyelitis, President Hoover says that politicians make too many 'promises. Strange that it should have taken him so long to find that out, Apparently the gueanes that changes were impending in the Ontario cabinet were not so far-fetched an Premier Ferguson tried to make the people believe, THAT many cities are starting to blossom out because thelr eith: wens have made them atiractive and d cities In which to lve "nd business, Many of these cities are full of unusually progressive people who are working hard to improve ly: ing conditions, They ave much concerned over putting thelr "best foot forward," They ara devoting much time to the care and development of parks, to the paving of sirests, to the bonutification of lawns, to the cut ting of weeds and the removal of unsightly objects and doing away with the backyard tin ean and trash problem, They are making thelr city pleas: antly attractive, ALL THIN HAR MUCH TO DO WITH MAKING A CONTENTED AND PROSPEROUS COMMUN.
