'Every sity. front, garage, shed, and hun- dreds of homes should receive a coat of paint, vacant lots should be cultivated, yards cleaned up and the town generally swept and garnished. It just needs some progressive citizen or organization to inaugurate the campaign. Its success is assured, Who will make the first move? U.S. PLANTS FOR CANADA Following closely on the announcement that the Nash Motor Company had made an arrangement with the Durant Motors of Canada, Limited, for the manufacture of Nash cars in the Canadian plant at Leaside, comes further announcements that the Hupp Motor Car Company is to establish a factory in Windsor, and that the Reo Mo- tor Car Company has made an arrangement with the Dodge Brothers factory in Toron- to to produce its cars in that factory. Thus the action of the federal government in fix- {ng a reduced discount rate on imported cars is bearing fruit within a remarkably short .. The coming of these companies to Canada is bound to create employment for automobile workers, and that was exactly what the government intended. The statement of H. A. Brown, vice-pres- ident and general manager of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, at the time of re-opening the Regina plant of the company a couple of wecks ago, also tended to show the beneficial effects of the government's ac- tion. There can be no doubt of the stimulus it has given to the automobile industry in this country, and the chances are that the full benefits will not be felt until better gen- ersl conditions return, and a normal buying period is experienced. In making this move, the government guessed correctly what the reaction would be, and the quick results pro- vide the best answer to any criticism or pro- tests which 'might be made against the re- duction of a fixed discount rate on import- ed cars. ARMISTICE DAY With the attempt of A. W. Neill, member for Comox-Alberni, to have Armistice Day always celebrated on November 11, the ac- tual date of the anniversary of the énd of the war, a good many veterans as well as thousands of other people will be in thor- ough sympathy. . Under the present plan Armistice Day is observed together with Thanksgiving Day "on the Monday of the week on which No- vember 11 falls, and the ceremonies and ser- . vices that should commemorate this most significant anniversary have to be dove-tail- "ed in with those peculiarly associated with Thanksgiving Day. ._ There are many Canadians who have felt for some time that Armistice Day is of suf- ficient importance to justify a demand that . it should always be celebrated-upon Novem- 'ber 11, and that it was a mistake to have chosen another date and combine its obser- vance with that of Tha REN 5 " Thaah ard priucin 10 of this anni- d of the existing arrangements, Armistice marked by cere e cities on the Sunday before ers on the Monday set apart and in still. others on Novem. if,'is not satisfactory, and there prrent of public opinion behind Po ofced by Mr, Neill, that the the war should be celebrated on the of & week-end holiday, and not historic importance of Armis- A LESSON FROM THE EAST Mahatme-Gandhi is generally regarded as one who hag been a disturber of the That impression of the somew, erroneous, hat as interview which he gave | ' the moorings that were goo the other day to a representative of The Canadian Press, In that interview he voiced hig opinions regarding war, and for one who has not embraced the Christian faith, they are somewhat remarkable, Here is what he ds a "War will never be exterminated by . any agency until men and nations be- come more spiritual and adopt the principle of brotherhood and concord rather than antagonism, competition and superiority of brute force. You in the west do not recognize the power of spiritual things, but some day you will, and then you will be free from war, crimes of violence and things that go with these evils, The west is too ma- , terialistic, selfish, and narrowly nation- alisticc. What we want is an interna- tional mind embracing the welfare and spiritual advancement of all mankind." at a stinging rebuke of western civil ization is given in these words, Gandhi, admittedly, is something of a visionary yet in his dreams of a world brotherhood in which there can be no more war is not a new dream. It was the dream of the Man of Galilee nearly two thousand years ago, and a dream that has not yet come true be- cause people are not willing to put it with- in the realm of reality. Gandhi has touched the vital weakness of the western civiliza- tion of today, and has sent, out of the cast once more, & message that the nations would do well to hear and study. EDITORIAL NOTES W. E. N. Sinclair's denunciation of the methods of Hydro valuators will find a ready school in the minds of many East Whitby farmers. The city has started its official spring cleaning, and soon the housewives will he doing likewise, The formation of an Oshawa Boat Club is one of the logical results of the provision of harbor accommodation. Quebec women have again been refused votes in provincial elections. It is not likely, however, that the wives of the habitants will worry about it very much, When a man wants to take a holiday at this time of the year it is a sure sign that there are spring stirrings in the household. Other Editors' Comment DANGEROUS EDUCATION (Stratford Beacon-Herald) There is danger in having a form of education that develops the brain and shrivels the soul. That form of education takes as its premises the fact that things as they exist are wrong; it pulls away from enough for parents and grandparents and seek mental excursion intu strange channels and on detours where the signs ot direction are not definitely fixed, NO FISH STORY (Lodon Advertiser) Mr. R. J. Gosse, managing director of the British Columbia Packers, Limited, says the newspaper ad- vertising campaign of the past two months has great- ly increased salmon sales everywhere in Canada, and the result has decided the company to continue the campaign. And this is no fish story, either, PROGRESS OF SCIENCE (Border Cities Star, Dr, Hopkins, president of Dartmouth college, right- ly lamented that the colleges are prevented from doing much toward solution of social problems. The difficulty, of course, is that as soon as their activities appear likely to tread on the toes or the profis of the wealthy people who control the colleges, the pro- fessors are stopped instanter. 'The remedy for this ean ny be in the gradual uplifting of the level of social thinking, which will be reflected in greater li- berty of thought and action in the colleges.

TWO OCEAN GOING TUGS KEEP STEAM UPAT ST. JOHN'S Roode Zee and Found:tion Franklin Based at New: foundland Port Halifax, N.S, March 27.~In the harbor of St. John's, New foundland, two powerful oceans going tugs will wait with steam up during the season of Arctic ice in the ocean lanes, One, the Roode Zee, has made St. John's her base for some time. The second is the Foundation Franklin, owned In Caanda, which has just proceeded to the Newfoundland port, in readiness to rend assistance to any vessel disabled in the North Ate lantie, "Watch and walt with steam up" appears to be the motto of the Dutch tug Roode Zee, Which towed the disabled Rosiland to port recently. The Roode Zee be- cameo the object of much interest nlong the waterfront. In his com. fortable cabin Capt, J. Klinge told the story of the men and ships that go anywhere to tow anything, any time. This has been a lean winter for salvage work, Captain KXlinge sald. - Both Iittingham, the only other casual ties of the season did not use out. vide help, The West Kyska was towed to Boston by a sister ship and the Effingham to Halifax by the U.8. Coastguard, His only job was the Rosalind under a Lloyd's agreement. Yet during the winter the Roode Zee was stationed at Bt, John's with steam up waiting for a dis abled ship in need of assistance. L. Smit and Company, Interna- tionl Tugboat Firm of Rotterdam, owners of the Roode Zee, have numbered in their fleet 22 ocean tugs, 42 harbor tugs and 4 sal- vage boats, The most notable feat of the Roode Zee was when about two years ago, with the assistance of her sister tugs, Zwarte, Scholde and Indus, she helped tow the Singapore floating dock from Tyne to Singapore, a world record for towing. These vessels also, when paired or as units, towed the 28, 000-ton hull of the new Holland American liner Statendam from Deltast to Rotterdam and the ob- slete British battleships Thunder- er and Ajax to the scrap yards, They have towed a total of b0 floating docks, Dutch ships have a= reputation tor cleanliness and the Roode Zee ig no exception. Her crew are typical of a nation of seafarers. The Roode Zee's powerful engines develop 1,600 I.H.P.,, her bunkers hold 600 tons, and the vessel 18 equipped with wireless, direction tinder and salvage pumps. An iden of the power of the vessel is shown by the fact that the Roode Zee with a speed of 11 knots was able to tow the Rosalind to Halifax at a speed of eight knots, WOMEN BLAMED FOR DEPRESSION IN COTTON TRADE Scoms To Wear Cotton Dresses Except for Kitchen Use Toronto, Ont., March 27. (By The Canadian Press) Civilized womankind unwittingly played a part in bringing about the present world depression when she scorn- ed to wear cottons except in the kitchen, and cast off many of the woollen garments which her grand. mother considered essential, 8, K Ratcliffe, celebrated British journ- alist, who addressed members and friends of the Lyceum Club and Women's Art Association at a tea fecture reminded his audience that fashion decrees--and woman's submission--had had much to do with the depression in the wool and cotton textile industries in Great Britain. "Civilized womankind has de fivered a mortal blow at both of them," said Mr, Ratcliffe, 'for I understand that women will not wear cotton---not even if it is the best that comes out of Lancashire." He reminded his silkelad auditors "of the amount of wool your moth- ers endured," and of the serious effects suca changes in feminine styles had on the output of the woollen mills of Yorkshire, Mr, Ratcliffe feared that steam heat and other such comforts of mod- ern civilization would eventually deal still another "mortal blow" at the woollen industries through the more conservative SeX-----man-- whose members are showing signs and Tan Milne gave » fine Irish daneo | ot dain to adopt lighter cloth- y a bo / the West Kyska and' WRITER DESCRIBES " EXPERIENCES IN PARISIAN SHOPS Methods Employed by the!
