TORONTO OFFICE $18 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street. Telephone Adelaide 0107. H. D. Tresidder. representative, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1930 OSHAWA'S FUTURE AT STAKE The importance of the success of the Osh- awa Industrial Foundation capital stock issue to the future of the city is brought sauarely before the public by the intimation that, in addition to the Coulter Manufacturing Com- pany, there is another industry which is waiting for the investing people of this com- munity to make it possible for it to settle in this city. This industry needs a factory building, the Oshawa Industrial Foundation is ready to sign an agreement with it, but the project is being delayed pending the re- sult of the campaign to sell the stock issue of $100,000. If the issue is fully subscribed, this second new industry will come here. If not,--then one can hardly say what will hap- pen, because it will be a death blow to the hopes of attracting new and diversified in- dustries to the city in the future. This situation places the question of Osh- awa's future fairly and squarely before the people of the city. If they are prepared to invest in a proposition which will be safe, and which will, at the same time, promote Osh- awa's development, then the future is assur- ed. We would like to think that there are in Oshawa sufficient people with the means and the will to over-subscribe this stock issue, so . as to show the men who are behind the pro- ject that their fellow-citizens have full con- fidence in their judgment. ELECTION RUMORS Election rumors are rife. There is plenty of election talk on the streets, and names are being bandied about freely by those who are taking an interest in the municipal affairs of the city. Judging from the advance talk, there will be no shortage of candidates in the running for the various elective offices to be filled, and there is little possibility that anyone will be allowed election by acclama- tion this year. At the Rotary Club meeting on Tuesday evening, there was some discussion of the part which the business and professional men of the city should take in the manage- ment of the affairs of their city. It was very frankly admitted that far too few men in such positions are willing to offer themselv- es for public office. They are willing to let the other fellow--often a man with much less ability--do it, and thus they fail to measure up to their responsibilities as citiz- ens of a progressive community. The thought which was expressed by var- fous speakers at that Rotary Club meeting, that more of the outstanding men in the business, commercial and industrial life of the city should seek to serve their commun- ity on its city council, is worth passing on. We doubt if it will do much actual good to pass it on, but there is the chance that it might prove to be good seed sown on fertile soil, and that it may have the effect of arous- ing the public spirit which has for so long lain dormant in this class of citizens. GIVING ATTENTION TO FARMERS . Within the last few days, considerable at- tention has been paid by public men and or- ganizations to the plight of the farmers in . Western Canada. E. W. Beatty, K.C, broke for th as their champion, the Canadian Manufacturers Association boldly declared that they were in need of relief assistance just as much as those who were suffering from industrial depression, and the U.F.O. convention, meeting in Toronto, was natural- ly keenly concerned over the situation in the agricultural industry. It does seem as if, in the desire to deal with the unemployment situation in the cities, the agricultural industry has been ovevrlooked. Yet it is a fact that there are many farmers, particularly in western Can- ada, who are at the present time facing hope- Jess conditions, and are looking forward to a winter of the greatest misery. This is due to the crop losses in many parts of the west, as well as to the low prices which are being paid for grain. Both of these factors are be- yond the control of the farmers at the pre- sent time, and it seems only just that the federal government should give some con- gideration to the situation in which they now find themselves. ~ Beyond the need of immediate relief, 'however, much .consideration is being given to the solution of the problem of agriculture. There seems to be unanimity that it is use- Jess to urge the farmers to greater produc- tion, because the inevitabl result of greater uction would be to further lower grain prices. And the farmers of Canada hardly need to be educated on how to produce crops 'and raise live stock. . If their skill in market- | ing was on a par with their ability to grow grain, they would not be in difficulties today. So the chief efforts of those who are con- cerned over improving the position of the - farmers must of necessity be centred on the problem of marketing. Another interesting sidelight on the dis- 'posal of surplus wheat is contained in a re- port issued by the United States' department of agriculture. This report states that while 90,000,000 of grain were fed to live stock in that country last year, this year 286,000, 000 are being fed to live stock. This sounds like common-sense use of a wheat surplus. Unable to find market for wheat in the regular way, the farmers are feeding it to their cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, and are marketing it in the form of live stock, for which there is a steady demand. This has a double value, It enables the farmer to secure better returns from his live stock, and it removes from wheat trade channels tens of mill#dns of bushels of grain, thus get- ting the surplus out of the way, and making better prices a possibility. These are suggestions, but the whole pro- blem of the status or agriculture at the pre- sent time is a complex one, one that is de- serving of the attention of the best brains in the country, one which should certainly be considered very seriously by the govern- ment in its study of the general problems of unemployment. CLOSING THE LIQUOR STORES The United Farmers of Ontario, at their convention in Toronto, have been devoting a considerable amount of time to the discus- sion of the present condition of economic de- pression and its causes, Out of the mass of verbiage which was produced by this discus- sion, there are two things which stand out as saner and sounder than anything else that was said or done. The first was the declara- tion of R. H. Halbert, past president of the U.F.0., that the expenditure of $50,000,000 a year in Ontario for liquor was largely re- sponsible for the difficulty which the farmers are experiencing in securing markets for their produce. There is a good deal of truth in that assertion, bold though it may seem. When a province like Ontario wastes $50, 000,000 a year on liquor, legitimate business and industry are bound to suffer, because this great amount of money, now being spent for intoxicating liquors, would be much more profitably spent, both for the individual and for the business interests of the province as a whole, in the purchase of food, clothing, furniture, fuel and other necessities of life. The second outstanding feature went even a little further, It was a resolution asking the government of Ontario to close up all the liquor shops in the province until such time as depression has disappeared. What a won- derful thing it would be for Ontario if we had a government with the courage to tuke this step, a government which would turn to the people of the province and say plainly that they could not afford to spend this mon- ey for liquor, and that it would be much bet- ter if it were diverted into regular trade channels. Perhaps, however, it is a little too much to expect the government to see things in that light. The revenue from the liquor shops is too tempting, But just the same, the whole province would benefit immeasur- ably, and prosperity would return much more quickly, if liquor were placed beyond the reach of its people at the present time-- and kept ther: indefinitely, EDITORIAL NOTES An investment in the Oshawa Industrial Foundation is an investment in Oshawa"s in- dustrial future. The veterans at Rotary Hall last night - rather belied the appellation of "The Silent Navy." It may be miniature golf, but it has pass- ed out of the miniature business class. After reading the comments of South African and Australian delegates to the Im- perial Conference, it will be more than in- teresting to listen to what Mr, Bennett has to say. If the Liberal convention next week turns out to be a Donnybrook, it will prove that there is still some kick left in the old party. Even the days seem long to the children ~ who are waiting for Santa Claus to come, The Glasgow Herald is not far wrong when it says that the man who put his shoulder to the wheel seldom has to put his nose to the grindstone.

People who parade in Quebec with red flags will be arrested. But we imagine the important thing is what happens to them after they are arrested.
