WILL NOT BE THERE Dr. "Liz." Walker, the popular coach and player of the Blue Devils' Rugby Team, will be a not- able absentee from the Blue Dev- fla' Dance in the General Motors Auditorium this evening. Dr. Walker has had a severe attack of influenza, and while he is today reported to be making good pro- gress, he has not recovered suffi- clently to bo able to leave his room. HE WAS COURAGEOUS There was a courageous man at the Masonic Temple Auditorium last night when the comedy "Polly- anna' was presented. In the play there appear a dog and a cat, nam- ed Sodom and Gomorrah, When the General Motors Quartet came out to sing between the acts, A. W. Bell told the audience that the tenor of the quartet had said he always thought Sodom and Go- morah were man and wife, but he had now found out that they were a dog and cat, "That's the Same Thing," was the audible remark of a man, who accompanied by his wife, sat in the audience, and the loud:laugh- ter of the crowd drowned the re- joinder of the better half of the family. SHOP RE-OPENED With a fine new front and re- novated inside and outside, the Dorothea Hat Shop, 3 King street east, which re-opened for business yesterday, present a very attrac- tive appearance.

The players again gave & gplendid interpretation of their {parts, and delighted the audience with the manner in which the com- edy was presented. The presenta. tion of a beautiful basket of flow- ers to little Yvonne Finlay, who played the title role in the firs three acts, wag a well-merited mark of appreciation of a remarkably clever performance. All of the ar tistes did well, however, but spc cial mention must be made of the effort of Allan McKenzie, who, substitut- ing for Robert Keel at the last moment when he was taken ill a week ago, junipad into the breach and gave an cxcellent interpreta tion of a 'difficult role, The sponsors of the play are de- lighted with the large audience which have geen it, and ft is likely that, under the direction of Mrs. A. W. Bell, the same players will again be seen on Oshawa stages. In the intermissions between acts, the General Motors Quartet sang avers] tuneful numbers, with e- collent harmony, and added to the ajoyment of the evening.

Dear Sir: During the last week, Christians of Oshawa have becn exercised, by the stirring appeal made by Rabb! Kisendrath, that a more tolerant spirit be exhibited, toward the "Sons of Abraham." The attitude of the United Church of Canada in this direction, is to 'be com- mended by every broad-minded Christian, It is high time freedom were given fo the Children of israel They have held the cup of ling far too long. At the same time, it well for the Jew to re- member that he must be prepared to tako his share of the criticism of those, who air their views In public. We have heard what Rab- bi Eisendrath would do, if he were a Christian, Now: let him hear trembling far too long. At the same I would review the history of my people back as far as 1 could go, asking myself, If there had ever been either Judge, Prophet, Priest or King who had wrought the mir- aclo of practically changing the face of the whole earth. Bringing a heathen world to the feet of the God of the Jews, facing the facts, L would say, this man was indeed the "Christ," the "Saviour of the World."

GOV'T ORDER 5 GREAT NEWS FOR OSHAWA (Continued from page 1) in imported cars would be injured much. United States manufactur- ers who were sending cars into Can« ada on a competitive basis, he pointed out, may now decide to manufacture in Canada. At an} rate, said Mr. McLaughlin, Cana- dian automobile manufacturers were always on the outlook for good dealers, and these men may now have the opportunity of associating themselves with Canadjan organi. zations. Lower Prices Likely "This boon to the home automo- bile industry," he said, "Will tend to increase production, and may consequently bring about the lower prices that accompany mass produ- ction. This move by the govern. ment is bound to speed up the re- turn of good times and prosperity for Canada." Although the effect will be great- er on the higher priced cars than on the lower priced models, with the sales tax and dumping tax ap- plied with the new discount rates, imported smaller cars will have to be sold to the public at an increase of about $100. And the difference would be much greater on the high- er priced cars, on some of which the duty will reach 35 per cent, Will Give Impetus Amplifying his statement, H. A. Brown sald, "The decision is bound to give a new impetus ao the productive forces of the dominion. It will ap- ply in equal measure in regard to raw materials and employment. We are aware of two plants which have come within the limits of our boun- daries on the strength of such ae- tion as was announced last night. So far as the interests of importers are concerned, it would be reason- able for these manufacturers to coma within the Canadian border with their plant activities. Wo want them all to come to Canada and compete on a common basis, Tho products of the General Motors of Canada, Limited are Canadian- made throughout and the order will affect thousands of Canadian homes through the Ceneral Motors of Can- ada and it: related industries." Feb, 20.--Behind Ottawa's brief official an- nouncement last night of a change in automobile discounts for duty purposes, lies an enormous plan which its advocates declare will, in normal times, provide $75,000,000 of new employment annually for Canadian workers and Canadian industry, says the Toronto Mail and Empire this morning, Reached by long-distance telephone at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa last night, H, A. Brown, vice-president and general man. azer of General Motors of Can- wda, disclosed this fact and gave nony other details, The plan has opponents among nonufacturers of imported cars » have found it with zeal and threatening in sgme to "hang out the to-let sign" I in others to build new. fac- iies here to make the cars at went being imported or assem. sled, Mr. Brown gave many de- ils of the plan to increase em- 'oyment and stimulate Canadian Justry. Exclusion of Imports The order-in-Council ig based pon a definite plan having as its bjective the exclusion, in normal Limes, of some $40,000,000 worth of automobile imports annually, mostly from the United States, and the replacement of that vol. ume by vehicles manufactured within the Dominion, As an index of what automobile men expect from the new system, it was pointed out that when the proposal was discussed recently at Ottawa, the Hudson-Essex and one other declared that if the plan were put into effect they would build factories in Canada. The proposal wag to effect this sweeping change, by one simple order-in-Council, without increas- ing the rates of duty charged upon imported cars, and yet without in. creasing to the = consumer, the prices of the cars manufactured in Canada---another case of protec- tion without consumer-exploita- tion, In fact, it is contended that by increasing the mass production of cars in Canada, the prices would rather trend downward, since mass production has thrust prices down ward as a rule, H. A. Brown, of General Motors of Canada, speaking from Ottawa by telephone said the neral foundation which the manufactur- ers had laid down for the proposal which the Government has now accepted-----in the terms, substanti- ally, in which the case was set forward. Undoubtedly it was upon this basis that the Government acced: ed to the proposal. Mr. Brown agreed that the argument offered was, substantially, ag follows: '" (a) The primary alm of all motor manufacturing companies is to keep down, or thrust. down, prices, in order to widen the own- ership of cars and to keep plants operating at capacity. " (b) An increase in tariff rates as wag proposed, would have run counter to this primary aim, since it would be necessary, bear- ing in mind the volume of fmport- ed material, to increase the do- mestic prices to the consumer, thus curtafling demand and re. ducing employment {f a horizontal increase were made, Most Cana- dian-made cars are sold on a very narrow margin of profit, " (e) That while the Govern- ment was spending $20,000,000 now on unemployment relief, a simple change in the discount rate on imported cars, achieved by or- der-in-council, would provide new employ™ent to produce about $76, Toronto, VIO8H, 000,000 worth of new cars year in normal times. '* (d) Automobiles and trucks imported into Canada annually, averaged over a period years, ag- gregated a vawation of $40,000, 000. per Supply Demand Here " (d) It that $40,000,000 worth could be excluded, the demand would have to be supplied by cars manufactured in Canada, Thig re- sulting manufacture in Canada, would result, on the basis of ex- perience, in an almost equal num- ber being manufactured for export and bring the total new manufac- turing up to the 876,000,000 above-mentioned in normal times, That this could not be expected immediatley, but in normal times, and as soon as the new factories could get started in Canada, * (f) It was indicated that of the new domestic demand for the $40,000,000 worth of vehicles, about one-fourth would be absorb. ed by General Motors of Canada, and that new factories would have to be established to take care of the other §30,000,000., "The detail as to method was thus explained: Duty on import. ed autos was assessed on the list prices, less the discounts allowed by the manufacturer in country ot origin, to his dealer in Canad. These discounts varied from 17% per cent, up to 40 per cent.--so that it wag held that higher-priced car enjoyed a lower relative rato than the lower-priced cars. "It was held that the discounts should be equalized, so that the same relative rate. would prevail throughout the entire list of im- ported cards. The effect would be to reduce the amount of discount many manufacturers allowed their dealers, and thus, without raising the ad valorem rate, to collect more actual cash--or exclude the car, "It was thus argued that the Canadlan-manufactured car would be placed in a position to compete successfully in the home market without its price being increased. "Every automobile manufac- turer in Canada for Canadian con. sumption", declared Mr, Brown in conclusion, "or exported to an ex- port-market from Canada, entalls $640 worth of work for Canadian labor. The new plan adopted by the Government creates work for thousands of Canadians." The Announcemeng Ottawa, Feb, 20.---A fited dis- count of 20 per cent. from list prices has been placed for duty purposes on all United States auto- mobiles entering Canada for sale. Announcement to this effect was made last night by Hon, E. B. Ryckman, Minister of National Revenue, Motor cars coming - into this country from the United States enter on a listed price, less a dis- count, and on the reduced value duty is assessed. This discount has ranged all the way up to 30 per cent, and for the protection of the Canadian industry and Canadian labor automobile manufacturers in this country asked that action be taken to place a maximum on the discount, In the event of automobiles coming into Canada for sale with a discount in excess of 20 per cent., Mr, Ryckman gtated, the dumping provisions would apply. Positive assurances have been received from Canadian manufac turers, Mr. Ryckman declared, of cars to purchasers be increased that in no event will the price of by the action taken to protect the industry and furnish employment for Canadian workmen, The whole subject was thor-, oughly discussed at a meeting of Cabinet Council which concluded last evening. An order-in-Council was passed and afterwards ap- proved by the administrator, The request for action came from Canadian automobile' manu- facturers in various parts of Can- ada, Some of the retail dealers in high-priced Imported cars opposed the request, and the matter has come before Cabinet Council in several occasions within the past two weeks, Following. lengthy con. sideration, it is stated, the Gov- ernment considered that a "spread" of 20 per cent, all-round wag sufficient to be allowed re- tailers in this country from the Amerfcan list price. : While no official statement has been made, it is generally under- stood that the automobile tariff schedules will be under revision at the coming session of Parlia- ment, rr ------------ MAYOR MARKS BELIEVES THAT OSHAWA HELPED (Continued from page 1) tievertheless did persuade the cabinet to hasten its decision," said Mayor Marks. As soon as he had read of the gov- ernment's action, the Mayor despat- ched the following telegram to Prem- ier Bennett: "Following our interview of yes- terday on behalf of the citizens of Oshawa, 1 wish to congratulate you on prompt action taken regarding automobile industry." "Ernie Marks, Mayor." RISSOLES FOR LEFT-OVER FISH Take equal parts of mashed po- tatoes and fish flakes. Season, and add a tablespoon of butter or other fat, and an egg.

WHITBY NO ORDER YET ON TRAIN SERVICE Outcome of Recent Hearing 3 Is Awaited With Keen Interest | Word has been received in the town by Mayor Bowman and Town Clerk Frost that the Dominion Raile way Board refuses to fescind its pres vious order with regard to the train service on the: Whitby-Orono-Pors Hope line of 'the Canadian Nationa] Railway s. Both Mayor Bowman and Fown Clerk Frost are in receipt of copies of the order of the board which which held a hearing of the case in the Council Chamber ag Whitby in the latter part of January, The order which has been received by the town officials sustains the tris weckly service which the railway. pro= poses to give the line. No order has been received trom the railway board as yet with regard to the Lindsay- Whitby line of the railway, The out come of the deliberations of the board is awaited with interest by many in the district who will be affected by any cut in traing on this latter line.
