Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Yowers and Stone Inc.. New York and Chicage THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th, 1930 FIRE PREVENTION EFFORTS The Oshawa Chamber of Commerce has sponsored a worthy movement in the orga- nization of a committee for fire prevention in the community. . Apart altogether from the direct motive of the committee, that of enabling Oshawa to make a good showing in a Dominion-wide fire reduction contest which is being fostered by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, an effort of this kind is worth while, because of the results which it will have for the benefit of the community. Oshawa has had its share of fire losses in the last few years, and there is ample room for a reduction. Prevention of fires is bet- ter than having to fight them, and through the local committee it should be possible to perform an excellent piece of community service, Fire Chief Elliott, since he took charge of the department, has been zealous in hig inspections with a view to eliminating fire hazards wherever possible, and he will be able to do even more effective work now that he has a strong organization behind him. The people of Oshawa, of course, can co- operate by exercising the greatest possible care in the prevention of fire hazards, and in the handling of inflammable materials, It is a matter of record that the great ma- jority of fires are the result of carelessness, so surely it would be worth while for the citizens of Oshawa to observe all the care possible in the prevention of fires in their homes, stores, offices and factories. ODD JOBS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED One of the daily newspapers of Ontario has offered to publish free of charge, small advertisements offering casual work for the unemployed. This sounds like a generous proposal, and it is, but it is not without its disadvantages. Those citizens who have iaken advantage of it have found themselves swamped by applicants, who have pestered them at all hours of the day and night, seek- Ing the work that was offered. There is a much better way that we can suggest to those people of Oshawa who are in a position to offer casual work to the un- employed. There is in the city an office of the government employment bureau, and it is through that channel that all offers of work should be made. Major Hamilton, who is in charge, and his assistant, Harry Pow- er, are at all times able to provide men for casual work, and if those who find them- selves in a position to offer such work would telephone their requirements to the employ- ment office, at No, 547 and 548, there would be no difficulty in supplying the help re- quired. This would be a practical way of helping the unemployment situation, and one which would relieve the people requiring help of the trouble and bother of having scores of applicants pouring in on them, CHEAPER BREAD A baking firm in Woodstock has given the people of that city a pleasant surpise by announcing a reduction of the price of its bread to eight cents for a one and a hall pound loaf. This reduction is made, the firm announces, on account of the lower price of wheat being at last reflected in the price of flour. It has taken a long time for the decrease in wheat prices to affect the ultimate product, bread; but it is here at least, and there is a possibility that the ac- tion of the Woodstock bakers will soon be emulated all over Ontario. | . It is only right that it should be so. There is a definite relationship between the price of the raw material, wheat, and the finished product, bread, or at leaststhere ought to be. We can understand that bakers, with large stocks of flour on 'hand, might require a certain period of time to use up that stock, pefore being able to make any reduction in the price of bread. But it would seem as if the time has now come for a general lower- ing of prices, and this will be very welcome . to thé consumers in the cities, where so, many men are out of work, or earning very little money. THE DUMPING DUTIES As a means of helping the unemployment situation, the federal government is propos. ing a new system of dumping duties, to pre- vent goods being dumped into Canada from the United States and other places, at less than a fair market price, This principle seems like sound common sense, and it may accomplish what educational propaganda has so far failed to do to any large extent-- that is, it may compel the people of Canada to buy goods manufactured and produced in this country, There has been in the past, of course, a dumping duty, but it has proven to be hopelessly ineffective in protecting the interests of Canadian industries and Cana- dian workmen, so the new government plans to put into effect a dumping duty that will really do what it is intended to do. The new government can rest assured that it has behind it a strong mandate from the people of Canada to take whatever steps it thinks prudent for the protection of Can- adian of. ion The result of the election left no doubt as to the wishes of the people on that score. And if that can be done in such a way as to protect the consumers from exploitation as the result of the higher tar- iffs and dumping duties, then no one will have much quarrel with the government, There is always the danger, of course, thal prices of Canadian goods will rise exactly in proportion to the increase in the tariff. That is not its purpose, but nevertheless it is its effect and it is that duty of the govern: ment to see to it that no undue advantage is taken of the added privileges granted to producers and manufacturers. After all, the main thought is to increase the sale of Canadian products in Canada, and most people would be prepared to sup- port any measure which could accomplish that end, The new government is apparent- ly sincere in its desire to do so, and it is to be hoped that its customs tariff amendments will have the effect which is desired. THE PROMISE OF THE MANU. FACTURERS One of the most significant statements of Hon. R. B. Bennett in introducing his new tariff bill was to the effect that he had the promise of the manufacturers of Canada that they would not take advantage of their added protection to increase the price of their goods to the public, It was a good thing that Mr, Bennett was able to make that statement. It will help to allay much of the fear which existed that increased tariffs would mean an increase in the cost of living. If the promise is lived up to by the manufacturers, there should be no fear of that, but the situation is one which will bear much watching. As a result of the higher protection, many Canadian manufacturers will have a virtual monopoly in the Canadian market for the goods they produce. From the employment standpoint that ought to be a good thing. It ought to help increase the number of peo- ple employed in Canadian industry. Yet when firms take advantage of a monopoly to bleed the public, as has been done, there is a detrimental effect which is hard to overcome. Under present conditions, with over-production and lessened buying powepr, there is a buyer's market, and prices are down to fairly low levels, If the result of the higher tariffs is to cause an increase in prices, that condition will cease to exist, and buyers will be frightened away. In that case, the benefits of the protection given to the industry would be nullified. This is a time for the manufacturers to play fair, They have been given an oppor- tunity to develop the Canadian market to the fullest possible extent. They ought to be satisfied with that, without seeking to bleed the public by increased prices. EDITORIAL NOTES Manufacturers are reported as being well satisfied with the new tariff schedules. Let us hope that its results will be just as satis- factory to the working men of the counrty. Sir Thomas Lipton is sure the champion hard-luck king of all time. Just when his boat had a chance to win a race, it had to break a mainsail halyard. United States opinion is that a trade war is due between Canada and the United States, But didn't Mr, Bennett in his open- ing campaign speech, say that trade is war. A fire prevention campaign is a real money-saving move, The move to encourage the purchase of goods made in Canada was given a real stim- ulus by Mr. Bennett's tariff bill, The, expenditure of $20,000,000 by the federil government to relieve unemployment evidently depends on municipal and provin- cial action. That is why it is so necessary that the Oshawa city council should make its plans to secure a share of that money. "A critic is a legless man who teaches running.""--Channing Pollock.
