THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1931 PAGE ELEVEN . WESTERNERS' IDEA ABOUT EAST GIVEN dd . 0 J.' S. Woodsworth, Winning M.P., Heard at People's Tre 2 Montreal," March #~The clarion roice of the western farmer was mut- id down to the point. of nearsin- wdibility in the People's Forum: Sun. lay night when its personification, ». Woodsworth, M.P., for Nort entre . Winnipeg, postulated the juestion 'Can the West be Saved?" ind, but for one brief heartening flimpse of the old fighting spirit in vhich he is wont to tackle all-comers, jefrained from answering it. In fact te confessed his inability to do so. What he did do, however, was to jonvince a packed house of Eastern- yrs that the farmer of the West is acing ruin and that something mast je done about it quickly if a whole- Dominion crisis is to be warded off, fle made it clear, moreover, that the rmer is thoroughly tired of eastern irroganck towards," and financial do- nination 'af the West. Here are'some of the possible alle- +iations he mentioned: : Lower freight rates for farmers, Extended, credits. . Mechanizgation and larms, as in Russia, These,' however, were only pallia- aves, large-scale International Action "The only hope for a lasting solu- fion of this problem," he declared, 'lies in action.along broad interna- tional lings~there must be a wheat onference of the wheat producing jountries, Argentina, Russia, Austra- ia and Canada. - We must face franks ly the worldsover-production . of vheat, greatly accentuated by falling In purchasing power due to general gnemployment; No one nation can ope to carry on in isolation any longer, Aninternational pool of some sort has been a success in the sugar industry, and it must come also wheat. Russia and the Argentine would welcome it." Mr. Woodsworth was emphatigl on the much-discussed secession ques- tion, "There certainly is a great body of opinion in the West," he said, "in favor of cutting off 'from the East, but such .a. secession would -not. be out: of the Empire. We would, in [fact, become a separate Crown colony, and so break the financial dorina- tion of the East. The farmers of the West feel that they cannot get a square deal from laws made in Ot- tawa, and they resent also the arrog- "lance of the Last which feels. that in same way the West is dependent on it, - Until that arrogance disappears, we 'can have no understanding," Criticizes Credit 'Another tilt was taken at the pro- posed $5,000,000 Agricultural Credits Corporation to assist the farmers to take up mixed farming, "If it is thought necessary," asked the speaker, "to float this new asso- ciation to give tredit to the farmers, what has gone wrong with the bank- ing system, whose business that is? They have refused credit to the farm- ers. They are all in the East and have not done their duty by the farmer of the West. Anyway, there are 11,000,000 acres of western terri- tory that are absolutely unsuitable for mixed farming." Mr, Woodsworth dismissed | prices and the finding of new markets as impracticable, but declared that some help could be had from the rail- ways in the reduction of freight rates, "Both Russia and the Argentine," he said, "have their wheat fields close to the sea board, but our farmers have a long haul. Cheaper freight would help considerably to reduce the cost of production, but the railway companies stand in the way. Why should they not help to bear their share of the burden. "The loan companies are threaten ing farmers with eviction for non- payment. Now these men mortgaged heavily when prices and prospects were goad. 'They built up on a big export market which has now been cut off, I should make evictions im- r | possible." In answer to a questioner, Mr. Woodsworth said the farmers were in favor of the control of credits by the people, not the banks, and even fav- ored government ownership of land, "They are of the real old pioneer stock, however," he declared emphati- cally, "and not the wild men they are sometimes depicted." COINS AND MEDALS IN GREAT VARIETY Montreal, -- Thousands of coins and medals: were recently gathered and arranged in showcases at the Chateau de Ramezay.® One gallery had tables and even walls almost covered with them. They represent- ed the systems of reckoning em- ployed in the last three milleniums by an interminable list of kings, dic- ttors, emperors, Caesars and Phara. ohs, > Among the earliest of them were coins of Italian origin. They, were specially rare pieces whieh appeared to have been moulded roughly from bronze, a serviceable metal which retains forever the 'stamp of the crude. figure placed upon it. These as little as one ounce and no two of them were alike; © Another case was filled with very beautiful 'silver coins struck off about the time ' of Alexander of Macedonia, | The exhibition included what is considered probably the best collec: tion of Indian Peace and Treaty medals to be seen on the continent. Most of them were struck off spe- cially to gerve as gifts, One of the pieces was the famous medal of George 1V which was given. tn Andre Romain, chief of the Huron Tribe, Since the earliest Anglo-Saxon times, from the period of George V. backward, English kings have es tablished their right to their own currency and to its control. There was either a medal or a piece of money commemorating every King and Queen of England since the days 376 LiL oy OP HERE FOR pl (1), ) ALMON cnoice RED Coll TALL TIN 26. KRAFT 12-03.

ACCLAIMS SCOTT AS SECOND ONLY T0 BARD OF AVON Great Scotch Novelist, Next to Shakespeare, Means Most to Literature EXTENSION LECTURE Paying great tribute to Sir Walter Scott as a man, Prof. KE. R. Dale poke in glowing terms at the Friday | evening, lecture sponsored last week by the Library Board and the Cos bourg Collegiate Literary Institute, "This is the day for debunking history and historical personages, but it is hard to de-bunk Scott's life as ® man," the eminent professor said, "In every relationship as a man he is securely great, "You may not like his poetry or writings, yet Scott could remain for you one of the great figures of the world because of his manhood, He was not perfect, but he had a hu. manity we ean all admire. "Scott was always eager and anx. fous to do what he considered his duty, but he did it with a lightness of touch, was not unduly introspec- tive and did it with no false heroes, "Try to become acquainted with Scott," the speaker urged. "You will be distinctly unusual {f you you do not like him, In the journal of letters you see him as a fine gentleman, Heroic Note "In his stories he struck the her ole note, and no note so easily goes off into false set up as the heroje note, Many writers have found it easy to start on that note of cour age, but literature is full of the fall ures, of trying to continue it suc cessfully. "Scott, however, had the herole temperament in himself, and having .it, he was able to interpret that feel ing to others. "He was essentially a man of ac tion, and preferred to be such. If he had never written, he would have been a prominent figure in our his tory, for he was and always set out to be, a man rather than a writer, "In bis healthy days, he arose at four In the morning, and he was in a sense a double man--a man of the world, and a literary man. Litera. ture was not first in his horizon. He had not the literary consciousness a great writer has. He wrote to make money, and he took advice from oth. ers as to how to write to get more, Next to Bhakespeare "He had a certain modesty, and when he was conipared with Shakes peare even in his own day, he de. clared that he was not worthy of lacing Shakespeare's shoes, "But it is a truth: the author who means most to English literature, with Shakespeare excluded but in. cluding all other writers both past and present, is Sir Walter Scott. "His best works were written in less time than his others. Seott is not the supreme author for the dilet- tante, for the person who likes to take a sentence and quote it as a "bon mot." Scott always aimed for final effect. The reader enjoys chap- ter after chapter, not simply a line or passage here and there," Professor Dale explained. In point of time, Scott is not the first novelist. He comes next in that regard to a group of people who created the English novel, Fielding, Smallett, Richardson and' Sturm. Prose Epic "Fielding conceived the idea of a prose epic, and carries it out in "Tom Jones." He took an ordinary life and sought to make it interest: ing, and In doing so, produced a mas. terpiece, a wonderful classic of lit- erature, "Plelding wrote of the open air, and his stories are robust and vigor ous. Rousseau Was. supreme in Beott's day, and he developed the sen- timental novel. Rousseau successors wrote sentimental love stories and the public demanded .more. "Scott, was able to resist the pop: uldr urge, although he took advice Acids in the Stomach Cause ndigestion Create Soufness, Gas and Pain, How to Treat. Medical authorities stato that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sour- ness, burning, gas, bloating, naus. en, etc, are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The delicate stomach lining is ir- ritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagree. able symptoms which every stom- ach sufferer knows so well, Artificial digestents are mot needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from, any druggist some Bisurated Mag. nesia and take a teaspoonful of powder or four tablets in water right after eating. This sweot- ens the stomach, prevents the for- mation of excess and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurat ed Magnesid (in powder or tablet form--mnever liquid or milk) is harmlcss to the stomach, inexpen. sive to take and is the most effi- cient form of magnesia for stom- ach purposes. It is used by thous- ands of people who enjoy thelr meals with no more fear of indi gestion, | about other likes and dislikes of the public. "Scott remade the novel. He de cided he would do something quite different to the sickly sentimental novel. In his "Guy Mannering" he has placed a love story, but Julia Mannering is a finely drawn charac: ter, delightful, fascinating and charming; and Scott amuses himselt by smiling at her sentimentality, an does it in such a manner that t reader likes Julia the better fongit. The love story progresses, but Scott does not put them into each other's arms and have them tell each other confidences, as he would have done had he attempted to satisfy the pub- lic taste of that day. ; Ruined Story "Scott ruined one story by taking the advice of his publishers, a fact which very few people know. In St. Ronan's Well, the plot hinges on the adventures of Clara Mobray, who marries under cover of night the wrong person. In the story her mind bgcomes unhinged at the altar and she leaves, The story is written thus because Scott yielded to the solicitation of his publishers and cut out an entire chapter in whicle it developed. that Clara had become the wife of the wrong person in actual ity and later left him. "As the story stands, the central incident is left out; the story lacks the keystone and is feeble; its ac- tion is unmotivating, because it is impossible - to comprehend why Clara Mobray's mind should become s0 unhinged over marriage ceremony alone. . "Another example is the Heart of Midlothian. It is wonderfully en thralling and there is nothing in lit. erature to compare with it, but this is true only up to a certain point. Thereafter the brillance fades and the story becomes painful to the extreme to read, This is an example of Scott going "dead" on the job, of him working to please other people," the speaker explained. The speaker was introduced to the audience by Mrs. Edith Kerr Mac donald.
