TURDAY, APRIL 18th, 1081 ...« A YACHTING CENTRE oe fame of Oshawa's harbor is spread om Lp the announcement that it has been 4 by the Royal Canadian Yacht Club the destination for its annual commo- 's cruise, on June 20 next, is of more n passing interest, There is great com- ition between the lake ports of both Cans a and the United States for the honor of + smmodating the cruises of this famous fleet of achts. Last fall, it will be recalled, effort was made to arrange a date for a sige to the Oshawa harbor, but the ar- rang te fell through, so it is left to the 'season of 1981, and the sunny month of June provide for the people of Oshawa what | be a spectacle worth witnessing, "Jt may be said that there is not much {commercial value in such an event as this, but there are some things which can hardly be measured in dollars and cents. Indi vectly, there will be a publicity value, since t will bring to Oshawa some of the most nportant business men of Ontario, and will familiarize them with what the city has to offer in the way of harbor facilities. That in ftself is worth something, but there will ! ter value in the incentive which the will give to the newly formed Oshawa t Club, It begins to look as if Oshawa's history is just beginning, and an event the ROY.C commodore's cruise, the t of the season, should be an Inspira- to the local yachtsmen who are just g to try their skill on the water. A FAITHFUL SERVANT he announcement of the coming retire. 'went of Sherriff J, F'. Paxton from the duties has performed so faithfully for the last four years, came as a surprise to most people in this distriet. It was known that ® year or so ago Sheriff Paxton suffered a severe {llness, which left its indelible traces upon his physique, but it was not generally . known that he had contemplated retiring from the office of sheriff of Ontario county. Sheriff Paxton has not only filled his office Hor a period longer than is usual, but he has done it exceptionally well. The duties of sheriff call for special qualities ofunder- standing, good nature, and restraint, and Sheriff Paxton had them all in good measure, His geniality endeared him to his thousands friends and acquaintances, for the sheriff "numbers his frjends in the thousands. Active participation in the development of keen amateur sport was his life-long hobby, and he delighted, particularly, in giving the youth of his community opportunities for de- sping their desires to participate in clean and healthful pastimes, Although retiring from the position of sheriff, Mr. Paxton has by no means outlived is years of useful life. He is still vigorous hardy, and has the will and the strength enjoy the years of leisure which lie ahead him. He is retiring with the full know- s that he hag earned his rest, and that friends and well-wishers in Oshawa and Whitby, and throughout the length and adth /of Canada, wish him many years to gujoy the leisure to which his lengthy term J Service entitles him. "INHUMANITY TO ANIMALS A Quebec farmer has been sentenced to months in jail for having beaten a ! to death, There were no mitigating gircumstances to the offence, apparently but the fact that he had a large family depend- it on him, and that it was his first offence, fluenced the judge into giving him a short Most. people will agree that the term of ree months for beating a horse to death 1s p punishment at all for an offence of that ure.

Linked up with the visit of Earl Jellicoe : and his staff is the probability that Premier Bennett will ba here to give him his first official weloome, that the Dominion president of the Legion will be here, and also the Hon, Donald Sutherland, minister of national de- fence, So it does seem as if, concentrated into the space of a day or two, Oshawa will have its hours of brilliance and glamor, hours when the eyes of the whole Dominion, if not the whole Empire, will be turned to this city. It is a great opportunity for Osh- awa, e local branch of the Legion is striving to be worthy of the occasion, and it remains to be seen what co-operation will be offered by the community as a whole to the veterans in taking care of the huge task that has been placed on their shoulders, EDITORIAL NOTES The sentence of 14 years imprigonment meted out to the murderer of Jake Lingle, Chicago reporter, makes us feel that a news- paper men's life is not rated very highly in the Windy city.

"The Stratford Beacon-Herald asked for a baby carriage for a needy home and received eleven carriages in quick succession, The obvious thing to do next is to advertise for babies to fill the spare carriages, and as more babies will likely be offered than there are vehicles, the B-H can then ask for more carriages, and so on and so on.

The lesson is that great wealth is rarely g! use to a man unless he acquires it himself, Then he knows its uses and its limitatalons, A man who has built up & fortune by his own efforgs rarely squanders it, for bis interests is in the work which creates the wealth and not in the spending of the money, Those whe sit down and dream of a big legacy or a fat sweepstake prize would be far better and more hap. pily employed in making thelr own fortune, THE FIVE YEAR PLAN (George Soloveytchik 1n the Nineteenth Century) The Five-Year Plan. cannot half-succeed; Stalin has staked too much on it, Either it must fail and bring about the collapse of the present regime, with all the consequences that this involves--and the Mos- cow trials seem to be a wamning-or if it succeeds, it will shake the Qld World to its foundations.

In the previous 12-month period imports had a value of $1,248,229, 4106 while the value of Canada's do mestic exports was $1,120,268,302 Canada's total trade for the fiscal | year amounted to $1,723,800,496.

EE £ (By Ken Clark, Canadian Press a ff Correspondent) Washington, D.C, April 18,-- I"igures collected here and abroad indicate there are perhaps 20,000, 000 people in the world who are willing to work and have no jobs. Students of economics and polites believe this is by far the worst fea ture of the present depraasion, Mr, Magnusson of the International Labor office says, "It is no exag- geration to say that unemployment has been the over-shadowing pro- em, Canada is looked upon here as suffering lightly from this ecous omie plague. On the whole new gountries and countries which de- pend to a considerable degree upon agriculture, are happily situated in times of depression, one expert sald, "There are always a few po- tatoes on a farm and there is un. doubtedly not the actual want in Canada that may be foyud in high. ly industrialized countries," he said, It came ae a shock to the people of the United States when the of- tielal tigue of 6,050,000 unemploy- ad was recently announced despite the fact previous unofficial estl- mates had run as high as 7,000, 000, These figures place the United States well up in the international unemployment list. The enumera- tion of unemployed is made on dif- ferent bases in different nations and as a consequence it is impose sible to make accurate comparison, The latest official statistics avails able for the principal countries are as follows: GOrmany .. «4 +o oo oo 4,383,843 Great Britain + oo «0 2,044,200 IA1Y so wo 00 00 04 4e 642,169 JAPAR «4 os 00 0 586,304 Austria «. 831.2389 Australia .. s¢ 04 os 102,900 Netherlands «« io ov +0 103,728 Sweden .. ov se on 80,078 Denmark «oo «+ oo 70,061 Belgium oo «co v0 oo oo 63,640 France .. «vs «0 28,686 These figures represent register ed unemployment, wholly unem. loyed, and those receiving bene. {ts. There is no doubt they no not reflect the situation in any adeque ate degree, 1t {s noted France which is well balanced as between agriculture and manufacture, stands at the bot. tom of this list as the least affect. ed country in 'Eurgpe, Total of Twenty Million are Unemployed in the World Reports here thls spring are gen- erally optimistic indicating a turn in the tide anticipating the seasonal increase in employment, None the less there is an undertone of doubt in some of them, Radicals and conservative econo mists in Washington maintain their respective attitudes in cousidering the problem of unemployment, The radicals school asserts present une employment is not dus to stagua- tion in business but is to a great degree a result of the use of improv. ed methods of production and ma chinery over a period of years; that these poor the world will continue to have with it until readjustment of working hours and provision for those displaced is made. It is pointed out a considerable number of those who lose their jobs when a new machine {s introduced in' the industrial structure, find work in the service or luxury in- dustries, Some get jobs at gasoline filling-stations, others become taxi. drivers or theatre ushers, and the rising standard of life absorbs them in other ways, However, it is ad: mitted such activities take in but a small proportion of cast off work ers, It is therefore necessary, they suggest, that some part of the pro. tit which accrues to corporations as the result of the use of machinery and modern methodé should be set aside for the security of those who lose their jobs, Radical economists, of course, ad, mit world unemployment has heen incerased to its present appalling proportions by the depression, fin. anclal and political troubles, as well us increasing supplies and diminish. ing markets, The conservative school thinks the world has enjoy. ed an era of extravagance for which it is now paying and that when pee= ple begin saving again, the credit structure is yehabilitated, markets expand, there is a readjustment of International trade, and prosperous times return, unemployment will again be a small worry, There {s al. ways a certain amount of unemploys ment, perhaps a million people in the I'nited Htates are temporarily without work even in boom days and economists do not think this is on had thing inasmuch as it offers a supply of labor for new or expand- ing industry.
