THURSDAY, MAY 28th, 1931 WAITING FOR DEVELOPMENT The attitude of the Lake Freight Associ- - ation, which met in Montreal on Tuesday, towards the Oshawa harbor is of vital im- portance to this eity. This association, to a large extent, controls movements of lake freighters and determines their ports of call and their schedules. From this stand- point, the fact that the Oshawa harbor situation was discussed at this meeting is significant. More significant still is the de- cision reached, that no regular freight schedules can be established until their are facilities at the harbor for handling this © traffic. This means that Oshawa, as a general freight shipping port, is at a standstill pen- ding the completion of the work which is being planned by the department of public 'works. The people of Oshawa, meanwhile, are waiting patiently for two things to hap- pen, for the wharves to be cleared of coal '#0 that the work can proceed, and for the letting of the contracts for the work itself. Oshawa is losing business because of the delay in making a start on the harbor im- jprovements, and it is to be hoped, from the standpoint of employment as well as that of the use of the harbor, that the delay will Soon come to an end and that the depart- iment of public works will, at a very early idate, make a start on the carrying out of 'the plans which have been approved. WHY THE PERSECUTION? As stated in an editorial paragraph in e Times last night, this newspaper has no brief for Eddie McDonald. It has on many occasions disagreed with him, and has criticized him severely for his attitude on public matters. It strongly opposed his candidacy for the mayoralty of Oshawa at the last municipal election, because it did not consider he was the proper man for that position, and it 'would, without hesita- yon, Lake the same attitude again. ding that The Times and Mr. d have disagreed on public issues, we feel 'that. the deportation proceedings | have been taken against him are un. called for, and are without reason. It is ly true that, by his municipal ac- 'he made some enemies, who are an- tos get rid of him, and have taken this : doing' so. The information on w tata of immigration acted have emanated in Oshawa, and those madet have for supplying it, and for asking for deportation, have little reason to be proud of their activities. "Apart from his public activities, Mr, Mec- gnald hag been a good citizen of Oshawa, He has acquired his own home and is a ayer of the city, When employment is ilable, he is a hard-working man. Why, , should it be found necessary to deport even if it were true that he was born gland? There is more behind this in- int than appears on the surface, and - fe who are behind it ought to come out b: the' open and show good reasons for p action before an Oshawa home is #n up, and a citizen deported to another y simply' because he was too out- mn in expressing his views, whether ghteor wrong, on civic matters, There is - considerable feeling in the city "on this question, even among those who are op- posed to Mr, McDonald's municipal activi- ties, and surely something can yet be done to save Oshawa from the reproach that its municipal affairs cannot stand being drag- ged into the light of day. LOOKING BACK--AND AHEAT Joseph D. Boddy, 4 well-known citizen of Oshawa, on his return from a trip to Nor- tern Ontario, tells an. interesting story development that has taken the province since ha | , saw.-it seventeen -years ago. - His story, appeared in The Times last night, nakes for it shows Bn ranma nd on account eral coridition of business. dy's story has a lesson in it. - The Ee cool {renteiidvie. a me and caaaider what the yest 'seventeen years will bring. Ca is .standing on the threshold of a new of expansion that is bound fo far exceed anything that'the past -| has produced. Who can tell what the con- dition. of Northern Ontario will be seven: teen years hence, when capital has been poured into the country and development of natural resources has been brought to the logical stage of progtess.- One can take - courage from Mr, Boddy's review of what the last seventeen years has produced, and can quite well believe that: the 'next seven- teen years will see even seater things, will see the north country dew extent that it will make a tremendous con- tribution, to the prosperity of the whole of the Dominion. EDITORIAL NOTES We haven't seen the first straw hat of the season yet--but it should not be long - in making its appearance. June 12 will seem a long way off for the school children whose holidays start on that date, but it will soon slip around. The attendance at the O.C.V.I. has de- creased by forty since the beginning of the term. Can it be that these forty students have found jobs? The officers of the Ontario Regiment are to be congratulated on their enthusiasm in arranging for a camp for the troops, in spite of the fact that the militia estimates make no provision for financial assistance. Two buffaloes are being shipped from Western Canada to Holland. Why not from Oshawa? * Once the big cities wrest from the yokels the right to make their own laws all the hypocritical and infamous "moral" legisla- tion now on the books will be repealed and there will no longer be any incitement to corruption among the police--H. L. Men- cken, editor. : | Other Editors'Comments | "BEASTLY WAR BOOKS" (Montreal Star) Many Canadians will feel inclined to drop a note of congratulation to the Rev. Dr, Parker of Toronto for his outspoken condemnation of war books in his address to the veterans of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry on Sunday night. "These beastly war books," he called them and denounced them as "an insult both to the living and the dead." There is no denying the fact that many books pub- lished about the war have been revolting, sordid and loathsome, while some have been {filthy and degen- erate. The existence of a large mass of people who revel in what is unwholesome and suggestive and repulsive alone explains why such books are published, for the publishers as a class are a shrewd ot, and they have learned long before now not to take any chances unless they are sure of a reason- able opportunity of success. The oaks that dwell solely upon the mean, dirty, sordid side of war can do no good to anybody. They will never rach the intelligent class who might be filled with & Batred and horror of war by effectively directed anti-war propaganda, and they will only serve to poison, if not pervert, the minds of those who are too young to have fought when the war was on. It is high time a halt were called to this sort of book.. It is nauscating, and it is unclean, and, like everything of that kind, it has a leprous in- fluence upon all who come within the purview of its miasma. A despatch from Kiel, Germany, describing the ceréemoniés in connection with the launching of a man-of-war, states "Even press representatives were required to attend in formal morning frocks and top hats.""--Canadian newspapermen still have some things to be thankful for. BITS OF HUMOR WAITING FOR IT One cvening after five-year-old Bobby had been put to bed, there came sounds of wailing from his room, and Mary, the maid, was sent to soothe him.

I'hey are, passed by because in a superficial test they read in a very satisfactory manner and so they go until their own inconvenience and discomfort forces them to the hands of those they should have seen long before. More surveys of this na- wre are found in the United States than in Canada because the United States has many more large indus- trial concerns and it develops that in the interest of the efficiency of those employed figures are compiled and an effort put forth to remove the cause, when these conditions in many cases are traced to the public school 'it follows that those figures will apply here as well as there, because the eyes of our children are taxed at school just as much as theirs and the eyes of our owh in- dustrial workers are taxed in a like manner when used for similar work Every effort is being put forth to awaken everyone to a realization of just what this means.

REDUCTIONS IN ARMIES SHALL Stop Increase in Land and Air Forces Paris, May 27.--The most ar- dent advocates of. disarmaments in international circles in Parls are expecting mo more than an agreement to . refrain from in- creasing land and air armaments to result from the general disar- mament conference at Geneva next February. It is believed here that Ger- many will not he satisfied with such a solution becatise she has always wanted what she calls a lévelling of armaments, meaning reduction, of those. of 'the former Allies to something approaching Germany's strefi or else a right to increase her arms to a point approximating those of France, Poland, Czecho- Slovakia and Rumania. < At present there A no official indication in Paris that the 1932 conference will. be postponed or that France wishes such a post- ement. 'Campaign For. Delay Begun One or two extreme National- ist organs like La Liberte have started a campaign for postpone- ment on the grounds that France runs a risk of having the 1932 meeting result in increased ar- maments for Germany while those" of Trance are stabilized.

In conclusion M. Maginot re- ferred to limitation of German armaments by treaties as con- stituting "a guarantee for peace- ful peoples." Moral help from the United States Government and people in pushing forward a reduction of armaments is generally expected in international circles in Paris. The opinion is being expressed that this encouragement will be sorely needed if any serious hopes are entertained as to the success of the general disarma- ment conference next year, GEORGE ARLISS IN "THE MILLIONAIRE" George, rliss, {incomparable delineator7of character roles, comes out of the Victorian era of "Disraeli" and "Old English' into the sunny warmth of South- ern California at the Regent Theatre tomorrow and Saturday.

It seemed as though we were in for a very un- comfortable night, as we had both been soaked by heavy showers earlier in the day. Affer we had been running halt am hour we heard a bugle . . . and soon fognd it came from two re dofles from our own vessel, \also astray . We decided to make for the Nova Scotian coast." "We were then 50 miles from land," the narrative continues, "but the wind was free. We had a larger sail than the other dories, and gained on them. Night was coming down, which would make it harder for us to keep in touch with each other." Then the fog lightened and Powers and Locke saw a steamer's lights. But they were far off her, though they soon realized their comrades were safe on board, as she stopped and swept the sea by searchlight. It wag then 12 o'clock on Easter Saturday night, and Powers remarks that "my thoughts turned to my old home in Regina, St. Mary's Bay, where my mother used to have our East- er eggs for us, and 1 thought if we could get anything we would be lucky." An hour after the steamer dis- appeared the men took a compass reading, and because the wind had veered, had to resort to the oars. After a time a light was sighted. 2 long way to windward, and soon afterwards daylight came. For some hours the men had been do- ing little more than holding their own. "As dawn broke and daylight aproached, we were looking anx- iously for the shore. We calculated it was then about 18 miles away. The wind dead against us, but we kept on going, and as we got in Souer ound the coast very rough. wé found a suitable place to land. .,. the dory was consid. erably damaged as we struck the hard sand.

CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF GOOD LITERATURE (By The Canadian Press) London, May 27.--The supply of literary masterpieces, so far as he could gather, was continuous, and a new poet seemed to be dis covered every other week, re- marked Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch when he replied to the toast of "Literature" emy banquet. Why should they de- mur at that output, continued Sir Arthur, at a time when the gen- eral output of England seemed to be in a state of depression? For his part he rejoiced in it, but he confessed that as a reader he grew somewhat tired of stories of pro phesy of the future, and of stories about sex. He wished rather to re- tire into some quite place of lit- erature, ray with Izaak Walten or with White of 'Melbourne' and dip into a book where there was no Locke's at the Royal Acaa-|sure strengthens Soups and Gravies sex, no marrying or giving in mar- riage, and no giving away after marriage.

LONG PULL IN DORY AGAINST WIND AND SEA Newfoundland Fisherman Tells of Fifty Mile Row When Lost With Nova Scotian Companion Boston, Mass., May 28.--The story of a day and night at sea in a dory, astray from their vessel ang off a rocky coast, was told recently by Stephen Powers, of St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland, who with Prescott Locke, a Nova Scotian, and four other fishermen strayed from the vessel Mary E. O'Hara, of Boston, on Easfer Saf- urday morning. The other four were picked up that night by the New York-bound steamer Rosa- lind, Powers and Locke rowed and sailed 50 miles to Port Le Hebert, safety the next day. On Easter Saturday morning we left the Mary E. O'Hara to fish, Powers said. "The wind at didn't look a bit too good. The fog thickened, and a heavy sea was running. Our hope was to get aboard our .vessel as quickly as possible, but the chances looked slim. "When we got out trawl in, I said to my dory mate; 'We could run down northeast and if we didn't make the schooner we could swing for the land.'
