SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1930 PROSPECTS FOR THE AUTOMOBILE : INDUSTRY In these days when zone managers for the General Motors of Canada; are meeting in Oshawa in preparation for their great sales campaigns for 1931, it is encouraging to notice that those who are students of in- dustrial and business conditions are con- fident that next year is to be a good year for this, the key industry of Oshawa. The General Motors organization is keyed up to a high pitch of enthusiasm and efficiency for the coming season, and those who are at the head of it believe that it is going to be a good season. Sound backing for that idea is found in a statement made in Toronto on Thursday by one of the officials of the Bab- son Statistical Organization, while speaking on "The Outlook for 1931." The Babson organization is regarded as the outstanding authority on business and industrial condi- tions, and its predictions are used by big business men as accurate indications of the trend of affairs. It is therefore interesting and encouraging to Oshawa to find this statement from an officer of Babson's organ- ization :-- "We believe a vacuum in the auto- mobile business has been created and is growing, and we shall see a sudden return to activity in automobile manu- facturing. We do not believe you will have to wait long in 1931 to see a dis- tinet turn in the manufacturing of auto- mobiles. It probably will be the first major industry to pick up. Its immedi- ate effect on the iron and steel industry, of course, will be felt likewise." Coming from such a source, and since it is so closely in line with the feelings of the executives of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, this is an encouraging prediction from the standpoint of the working men of Oshawa. It may be said that Oshawa de- pends to a very large extent on the General Motors for its prosperity, and if these predic- tions and hopes are fulfilled, there is every reason to believe that the year 1931 will be a much brighter one for Oshawa than 1930 has been. A PROPOSAL THE PUBLIC WILL SUPPORT The public generally will support the pro- posal of General A. E. Ross, M.P. for King- ston, in asking that the pension regulations of Canada be amended so as to provide for the immediate admission of hospital by the de- partment of pensions of war veterans who are urgently in need of medical attention, and for their treatment there pending a de- cision as to whether or not they are entitled to beiretained there, This proposal is aimed at a condition which has outraged the sense of humanity of the people of Canada, and which was responsible for the fact that a dis- abled war veteran, within a few hours of death; was refused admission to Christie Street. Hospital a few weeks ago. As the regulations stand at present, it is impossible for any war veteran, no matter what his condition, to be admitted to this de- partmiental hospital unless he is a pensioner, and in some cases, such as the case referred to above, even pensioners are sometimes de- barred from the hospital. From the stand- point of saving a few dollars, this may be a sound policy, but from the standpoint of sav- ing lives, and of relieving urgent cases of ill- nessy it is a policy whicn has never, even in thought been sdnctioned by the people of Canaag, One mignt well ask if all the hu- mane instincts of 'the man controlling these institutions have been hardened and deaden- eu py their contacts with so much suffering. One would imagine that it would cause them to ve sympathetic towards war veterans in need oi attention from a medical man, but instead it seems to have made them callous to suttering, and tightly bound by depart- mental red tape which cannot be unwound. General Ross, in his proposal, has sensed the reeling of tne people or Canada on this question, and there should be little doubt as 10 1.3 adoption when it comes before the par- Lament of Canada. THE SOVIET AND CHRISTMAS Soviet leaders in Russia have started a campaign to prevent the people of that coun- 1.y observing the Christmas season, with all its religious significance. This is another phase of the Soviet effort to stamp out religi- on, to prevent the people of Russia practising the faith which is so deeply rooted in them. it is a sorry effort, because one cannot, be legislation, undo the training and beliefs of centuries, as they are to be found in the deep religious faith of the Russian peasants. The Soviet campaign against Christmas is but one more step in the determination to stamp the spirit out of the people of Russia, 'to deprive them of the one thing which is lik- ely to cause them to rise up against those who have constituted themselves as leaders. These leaders know that a people whose re- ligious instincts are alive cannot be trodden under foot with impunity, that the same spirit which leads them to believe that hu- man beings are higher than the animals will persist as long as the hope of the religion of Jesus Christ is placed before them. So one can see nothing but base political matives, grounded in the fear of revolt, in the cam- paign to keep the people from observing the Christmas season. It is a pitiful affair. have been brought up since earliest child- hood to sing the Christmas hymns and rev- erence the Christmas story, and who have * every facility for the observance of Christ- mas, cannot have any conception of what it means to have the hope of the Christmas story ruthlessly torn away, and to have noth- ing else put in its place. The Russian leaders may think they are gaining their ends by prohibition of Christmas festivities, but they are more likely to be paving a sure road to their own downfall, because it is a matter of history that when governments interfere with the religion of the people, the end of these governments is not very far away. A JAPANESE TRIBUTE TO CANADA The Times has received from Tokyo, Jap- an, a copy of a rather unusual newspaper. It is the issue of the Japan Times and Mail for Monday, October 27, and it is entirely devoted to Canadian affairs, the object of the edition being to give a formal welcome to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce mis- sion to Japan. This mission, headed by John M. Imrie, vice-president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and managing direc- tor of the Edmonton Journal, went to Japan to express the goodwill of Canada to the Jap- anese people, and to make closer and more intimate contacts with the business interests of that country. The Japan Times and Mail, printed in England, has done a wonderful peace of work in its welcome edition on Canada. It consists of twenty-eight pages, somewhat larger than the average Canadian newspaper page, filled | from beginning to end with articles and pic- tures dealing with Canadian agricultural, business and commercial life. Signed mes- sages from the premier of Japan, from the Hon. H. M, Marler, Canadian minister of Jap- an, and from others high in the public and business life of both countries, add greatly to 'the edition, and make it one of highly educational value to those in Japan who are able to read it, Doubtless those of the Canadian Mission expressed' their thanks to this enterprising newspaper for its splendid efforts to tell the story of their purposes in going there. And the whole thing is so well done that an even wider measure of thanks, the thanks of the whole Canadian people, might be extended to its publishers. A GREATER EFFORT FOR SAFETY There was a considerable decrease in num- ber of accidents reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board of Ontario during the month of November, there being 4,708 acci- dents as compared with 5,768 during Oc- tober, and 7,006 during November a year ago. The fatal accidents numbered 38, as against 44 last November, The total benefits awarded during Novem- ber amounted to $592,682.96, $498,144.87 of which was for compensation and $94,438.09 for medical aid. To date this year there have been 64,5673 accidents reported, as compared with 80,816 for the same period last year and the total awards for compensation and medical aid amount to $6,792,286.22, as against $7,343, 434.69 for the corresponding period of 1929. These statements show that the campaign for greater care on the part of workers and employers for public safety are bearing fruit, EDITORIAL NOTES "I am old-fashioned enough to believe that trade is the handmaid of peace."--Sir Char- les Addis.

Those of us who Other Editor's Comments DO NOT LAST FOREVER (New York World) Common sense tells us that neither booms nor depressions last forever. We have always taken a tumble reaching the peak, and we have al- ways climbed up again after landing on the bottom. It is a "bull point," if we are really on the bottom, for the next change will be for the bet- ter. While the next big turn will be upward, it would not be safe, in view of the failure of so many business rophecies in these times, to predict its advent. It may already have be- gun, or it may not begin until next year, But it is coming, and the sens- ible course for business men is to set their houses in order and to watch for favorable signals. BONUSING LITERATURE (Calgary Herald) Canada is a rich mine for the writer of fiction. Its early days were filled with romance. Sir Gilbert Parker and Francis Parkman were two writers who won fame and for- tune by delvinig into pioneer days on this, continent, but their leads have never been followed up. There is rich background in Canada for a native literature, and every prov- ince has its contribution to give to the writers who will seek to portray it. The Province of Quebec encour- ages literary work by distributing $10,000 a year among provincial au- thors. This is an example that other provinces might emulate with strik- ing results, THE ROCKFELLERS' EXAMPLE (New York . Evening World) The contribution of $1,000,000 to the Emergency Employment Com- mittee by the two Rockfellers, fa- ther and son, is a most commend- able and admirable manifestation of public spirit which ought to be emu- lated by others, Of the $6,000,080 the committee sceks for humaritarian purposes the Rockefellers have fur- nished one sixth. While the effort of the committee has extended over many -days but little more than one- half the amount required has been donated aside from the million re- ferred to. And while there are twelve days more remaining for the raising of a little more than two mil- lion, and it will surely be forthcom- ing, it ought to be raised in less tune. | Bits of Verse SNOW SCENE Now light the chandelier, Turn on the music box, The snow is here!

CAIBO, VENEZUELA HERALD IN A RECENT EDITORIAL ON THE DANGER AND LOSSES OF WAR, "Ryeryone surely realizes the terrific danger and the tremendous losses that result from war. "Almost without exception, sane men would avold war if they know how to bring about that happy re- sult. That result cannot be brought about as long as the stalk- {ng phantom of suspicion is per- mitted to exist. "There is too much suspicion of one nationality against others, Sus. picion is based on hate. Hate is based on fear. Fear tliat nationa} existence may be threatened. Fear that some enemy might suddenly turn loose its guns and its gases. "There is not alone suspicion but greed. Greed for greater pow- er. Greed for commercial and business domination: Greed to. get everything at the expense of some- one else, and to get it by force if necessary. These vicious factors are at the root of war. Until they have been eliminated, war will remain a constant menace. Nations will continue to insist on armaments. Taxpayers will continue to struggle under terrific burdens. "Truth alone can aholish these evils, Truth which makes it clear that the average citizen of one civilized nation are no more blood- thirsty, no more treacherous, no more despicable than the average citizens of other civilized nations. Truth which will look for reasons for friendship instead of causes for hate. Truth which will make it evident to everyone. that the hap- piness and prosperity of one na. tion depend upon the happiness and prosperity of other-nations.

A hundred and twenty men from the village, vicinity and neigh- bouring villages, sat down to the splendid meal, which had been prepared by the United Chureh Women's Association and after everyone had done justice to the tempting viands, an interesting program of community singing, toasts, speeches and musical num- bers was enjoyed. Rev, I. Stain- ton made a capahle master of ceremonies, assisted by Wn, Murkar at the piano, and F. M. Chapman nobly filled the position of toast-master. The following toasts were proposed: "The King" Mr. R. Ripley; "The Ladies", Mr. John Bryant; "The Farmers', Dr. V."E, Cartwright, response, E, L. Chapman. The speakers of the evening were Mr, Martin, Agricul- tural Representative, of Toronto, and the'Hon, Duncan Marshall, ex- Minister of Agriculture for Al- berta, who both spoke on sub- {Jects pertaining to and of interest to the farmers, Doth speakers were well versed in their subjects, and gave their apdience profitable as well as entertaining information. The Holden quartette, of Oshawa, consisting of R. A. Holden and three sons, were present, and in its usual splendid fashion contributed several pleasing numbers, At the close, of the program, a vote of thanks to the speakers was moved by W. H. Westney and seconded by W. |. Clark. A vote of thanks was also tended to the ladies, and was graclously accepted on behalf of them, by Mrs. H. T. Fallaise. The Brotherhood purpose holding two more such banquets during the winter months and judging from the enthusiasm which has been expressed on all sides, by those having attended the one on Tuesday night, there will be no difficulty in selling the required | number of tickets. The Sunday evening service "at the United Church took a differ- ent form from the usual, when the Maxwell hrothers of Oshawa were present to conduct a song service, and give an illustrated lecture on the Peace River Dis- trict. Mr, Gordon Maxwell had spent the summer months in that part conducting services in a church on wheels, and with the ald cf pictures which he had taken, was able to give a vivid descrip- tion of the conditions in that country, and the opoprtunities for _| service, among the settlers there. A splendid anniversary ser- 'vice was held -at the Audley Church, on Sunday aftdrnoon, when a congregation which filled the building, was present to hear a stirring address delivered by the Rev. Capt. Best, of Whitby, Spec- fal music was given by a double quartette, of Whitby, and Mrs, H. Stainton, of Pickering. Mr. Robin Nicholson, of Whitby, presided at the organ. A number from Picker. ing attended the service. The annual bazaar of the United Church Women's Association, which was held in St. Paul's 8.8. on Friday last, was well patron- ized, and was a decided success in a financial way, The usua. booths of home-made baking, fancy goods, aprons, towels not to mention the ever-present fish pond, drew their quota of customers, which sent the coins *jingling into the coffers of the Association', dainty afternoon tea was served to the visitors. The Mission Band had charge of the candy booth and dispensed home-made candy in quajirt tissue baskets. Miss E. Swallow, of Mapte GGirove, and Mr. B. O. Young, 'of Torouto, spent Sunday with Rev.
