Tresidder, representative, TUESDAY, JUNE 23m, 1931 : WILLING TO HELP The conference held between Mayor Marks and a council committee, and repre- sentatives of the leading industries of the city the other night served at least one useful purpose. It showed that the manu- facturers of Oshawa are anxious to do ev- erything they possibly can to ease the un- employment situation in the city. Manu- facturers, in these days, are placed ii an unfortunate position. They are blamed by thoughtless and irresponsible agitators for the unemployment which exists. Yet they themselves are victims of the unemploy- ment problem just as much as those who are unable to secure work. . It is of no advantage to industry to have factories which are operating at _only a small fraction of normal capacity. Indus- trial profits can be earned only when the factories are running at a reasonable pro- portion of normal. Manufacturers cannot make money, any more than the the em- ployees can, when large sections of their plants are shut down, so from a straight dollars and cents standpoint they would ra- ther have them operating at full capacity. In addition to that, however, the aver- age employer really has the welfare of his workers at heart. He wants to see them employed full time, and earning a fair wage because, the greater the volume of employ- ment, the more efficient is the operation of the factory. Industrial concerns are doing everything they can in these days to keep operation ratios up to a high figure, but they. are simply in the position that if peo- ple are not buying goods at a normal rate, production cannot .go on at capacity. Some- times that point is overlooked by those who seek to create a spirit of animosity against - the manufacturers who cannot give their men full time employment, yet in it lies the crux of the whole unempoyment situa- tion. The sentiments expressed by the Oshawa manufacturers bear this out, and show that they are willing and anxious to do everything possible to keep their men employed. We believe they are sincere in this, not only from the standpoint of their own interests, but from the standpoint of keeping thé men supplied with the where- withal to take care of their families. In due time, factory payrolls will be increas- ed, but it is gratifying to note that the re- presentatives of industry in Oshawa were willing to sit down and discuss the situa- tion with the elected representatives of the people, and to pledge themselves to do all in their power, under the circumstances, to keep men at work. A WAR DEBT MORATORIUM President Hoover's proposal for a twelve months moratorium on war debts is one of the most far-reaching proposals made in re- cent years, and, if accepted by all nations involved will have a definitely beneficial ef- fect on the whole of the world's economic . structure. There have been many in the last year or two who have openly and bold- ly declared themselves in favor of a com- plete cancellation of war debts, as a step to- wards world prosperity, but there has been little hope that this could be brought about. - President Hoover, in enunciating his plan for a twelve months's suspension of debt ~ payments, makes it clear that cancellation of war debts cannot be considered; by the ~ United States, but he, as the spokesman of his country, with substantial support {from : s members, has made the offer of a one year's holiday in wai debt payments. Taking a world view of the proposal, it would seem logical that it would be accept- ed at once. Germany has already grasped at it as a breathing spell in the tremendous financial pressure to which she is subjected by reparations payments. There can be no question as to the German attitude. Bri- tain's view is also favorable, although that country stands to lose more than gain by the proposal. Britain's payments to the United States are about $1,750,000 per year less than she is receiving from her debtors, but that is not sufficient of a loss to make Britain stand in the way of the great ben- 'efits to be derived from a war debt holiday. This leaves France to be considered, and the French attitude is the key to the suc- 'cess or failure of the whole plan. The French reparations receipts from Germany amount to about double the amount of her annual payments on war debts, the differ- ence being somewhere between $90,000,000 and $100,000,000. Under the Hoover plan, 'France would be asked to forego, for one year, the receipt of these payments, so that there may be some reluctance on the part France to fall in line with the scheme. Thus the French. attitude is the key to the whole situation. If France can see the big- ger picture of the importance of the plan to the whole world economic revival, then she may be willing to accept, and the great- est difficulty will have been removed. If- however, there is an unwillingness on the part of France to make a sacrifice for one year in order to help the return of world prosperity, the whole plan will be jeopard- ized. France may look on the question from the viewpoint of anti-German senti- ment, which is still very strong in that country, and which may object to anything which is likely to assist Germony towards stability. That in effect, would be a short- sighted policy, since unless Germany is helped to stability, there is a grave danger that reparations payments may be suspend- ed altogether, in which case France would lose a great deal more than the amount at stake in the Hoover proposals. It is significant that already the world's leading financiers and economists have ex- pressed warm approval of the Hoover pro- posals. They are in a position to know what the effect would be on world conditions, and that are satisfied that there would be so pronounced an improvement that the world would to a very large extent recover from the economic depression from which it is suffering at the present time. The United States is not wholly unsel- fish in putting forward this proposal. Pres- ident Hoover and his advisers have realized at last that the huge payments by debtor countries into the United States treasury are responsible for crippling world trade, and United States trade in particular. By relieving the various debtor nations from making payments amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, it is hoped to restore a freer circulation of goods and money be- tween nations, and thus stimulate the ex- port trade of the United States to such an extent as to make the whole scheme worth while as a factor in solving unemployment. The United States will not be the only coun- try to benefit in a substantial way by the restoration of markets which have for the last year or two, been unable, on account of the lack of money, to absorb anything like a normal quantity of Canadian goods. And the same will hold true for Great Bri- tain and other exporting countries. President Hoover is honestly trying to blaze a new trail to prosperity and the Eng- lish-speaking world, at least, with the ad- dition of Germany, will hope that the pro- posal made in good faith will be put into effect on the date sugested, July 1. Mean- while, the world waits for the French ver- dict, 'which alone is needed to ensure the consummation of the plan, and if it is fav- orable it will make possible a great forward steps towards recovery of surope and other parts of the world from the depression which has been hanging over them for too long a period. EDITORIAL NOTES These are days when one has to be very careful about slapping a friend on the back. Four drownings and five killed by auto- mobile accidents was the toll paid during the week-end in Ontario. And yet reason- able exercise of care might have prevented all these deaths. If the Royal Canadian Yacht Club had carried out its original plan of coming to Oshawa, instead of going to Port Dalhousie, on Saturday, its fleet would have escaped the damage done by the storm in which it was caught.

When provision is made for the different types and they are graded according to their vision and visual defects their vision may be improv- ¢d at the same time until such a time may come when they will be in a position to look after them- selves and endeavor to further the efforts to conserve the vision thev have left. With all knowledge of the conditions prevailing if the pro- per measures were put into effect the deterioration of vision would be greatly checked and even though not immediately felt, the action would show a future where instead of a condition of gradual reduction in vision it would show that vision would be improving because the eve detects and diseases would be looked after before any serious out- come could arise. (To be Continued.) Everybody in this imperfect world lacks something, but the most unfortunate of all is he that lacks sense of humor. This is the more tragic in that humor is one of the qualities that is innate rather than acquired, though cer- tainly it may be developed with an effort. The fact remains that some people are bubbling over with humor because they cannot help it----or, at least, they can only help it with a great effort. Their luck is all the more hard because not only is life for them sad, but it is short. Anger is to some extent a nar- rowing of the eyelids. Sorrow is represented by a drooping of the corners of the month. Mirth is a slight parting of the lips charming fn a few people, but utterly ridicu- lous in others. It is a fact that if you smile, that ig if you go through the motions of smiling, even if it is necessary to do it by numbers so to speak, a sense of mirth is produced. Just as a yawn is delightful when sleepy, or a sneeze when snuffy, or a hiccough when replete, so is a smile, even a mechanical smile, pleasing when one is depressed. That is why ®ts of people are free from care and there is no reason why you should not try it too. Smiling should not, expect in rare cases, be practised be fore a looking glass, as it might induce a fit instead of a mere healthy sense of humor, It should not be indulged in in public except under cover of a newspaper or a pocket handkerchief. But nevertheless, it should be practiced when ever you are unhappy and you will (find that just as tears relieve some people, so may a smile. You will immediately feel better. It fs quicker than medicine and cheap er. A contraction of- the lips ac- companied with a slight downward drag of the corners of the eyes in- fallibly produces a sense of con- tentment---provided always that the facial contortion has not been visible to oneself, IN THESE DAYS AND TIMES A QUICK SENSE OF HUMOR 18 MORE THAN EVER DESIRABLE, SCIENCE GIVES FACTORY SHIP 10 SEA TRADE British Scientists Benefit Many Trades Involving New Scientific Instru- ments St. John's, Nfld, June 22.--<The British "factory ship" is the latest contribution to the advancement ot deep-sea fishing industry, another reality on the list of marvels that have come out of British laborato- ries in the last few years.

There are now three of these monsters working from British ports, the largest--the Arctic Queen --carrying a crew of 490 men. She carries 54 small motorboats, and 1s away from port for five or. six months at a time. On the fishing w| grounds these smaller boats are re- leased to fish for halibut and cod, working with 100,000 hooks and a line several miles long. When the huge quantities of fish thus obtained are returned to the mother-ship they are promptly fro- zen in brine, treated exactly as though they were in a factory on dry land, and there are inspectors on board to pass the fish at every stage of the process. On returning to port, the factory ship does not unload the catch. She merely turns herself into a floating store and releases a proportion of her catch daily for the market. Research stations have been es- tablished in Scotland and Newfound- land and are going to supplement the factory ships by a thorough study of why fish appear in shoals at certain times, by analysis of the medicinal properties of the livers of various fish and a hundred-and-one other things. The fishing industry is only one of the industries that the magic of British science is pushing to success. Take the "Steeloscope." It is an uncanny instrument which splits up light from an electric arc into a number of colored lines, and enables the substances present in any sam- ple of steel to be determined at a glance. The delicate "Blancome- ter" matches and measures colored objects much more accurately than the keenest human eye could pos- sibly do. Another British invention, the "Strain Viewer" tells with complete precision and certainty the quality of any particular sample of glass and has been adopted all over the world as an indespensable factor in precision glass-making. The mod- ern quartz spectroscope, supplied from the National Physical T.abora- tory at Teddington to industrial and research laboratories, is even more widely used. The world-beating seaplanes which won the Schneider Trophy are almost entirely dependent for their incredible speed in certain tluminium allove which produced a marvellous metal with which to make the engine piston This me- tal was discovered by the Depart- ment of Metallurgy and Metallurgi- cal Chemistry, COW KILLED AS BARN IS RAZED Gale Does Much Damage in Hamilton District Hamilton, June 22.--A gale which for a time threatened to assume the proportions of a hur- ricane swept Hamilton and dfs- trict late Saturday afternoon, causing heavy damage. In Glanford Township three barns were razed and on numer- ous farms large trees were blown down. Oscar Smith, the owner of one of the structures, and his son had a narrow escape when their barn collapsed. They were in the building at the time and saw fit razed from the foundation and carried forward. Fortunately, the wind hurled it away from them and they escaped injuries. A cow was hurled beneath the debris and was killed. Little warning of the approach. ing of the storm was given, and several boaters on the bay had a close call. The harbor patrol boat made several trips, hauling small craft to safety. Farmers on the market fought a stubborn battle for ten min- utes to save their produce, The gale struck with great fury, and several vendors lost a consider- able quantity of 'their supplies when the stiff wind carried bas- kets and other containers from the stands. The streets were practically de- serted for 15 minutes while the storm was at its worst. Large limbs were torn from trees and came crashing down onto the road. HONOR THOMPSON CANADA EXPLORER Memorial Will Be Unveiled * at Jasper Park With Suit- able Ceremonies Jasper Park, Alberta, June 22, -- Arrangements are being made to have the memorials erected last year in Jasper National Park, tu commemorate the public services oi David Thompson and to mark the site of Henry House, unveiled with suitable ceremonies July 29. Judge F. W. Howay of New Westmin:ter, B.C, Western Canada represent. tive on the Historic Sites and Monu- ments Board, will deliver an address on this occasion, The cairn erected in inemory of David Thompson, stands on Old Fort Point which is situated at the cast end of the Athabaska bridge on the road leading froin the town of Jasper to Jasper Park .)dge and Maligne Canyon. The tablet placed on the cairn bears the fol« lowing inscription : "The Discoverer of Athabasca Pass. "In mid-winter 1810-11 David Thompson of the North West Com- pany; with ten companions discovs ered and travelled through this pass to the Columbia River. It immedis ately became the regular route across the mountains and so cone tinued until the advent of railway communication, "To David Thompson Canada owes the first accurately prepare! map of the Great West, embodying the results of his surveys dud ex- from 1789 to 1812, The other cairn, which marks tic site of Henry House, cstibiished by the North West Company in 1811, is located -along the same road about 400 or 500 yards from the east end of the Athabaska brigge." This cairn also carries a table. bearing the following inscription; "Henry House "Founded in 1811 by t.e North West Company, after the discovery of the Athabaska Pass and its adop- tion in 1812, as the regular trade route to and from the Columbia, this post became and remained for about. twenty years, a. important point in the transporiation system of the North West Company and later of the Hudson's Bay Company.

Veteran Professor Would Spare the Rod Toronto, Ont, June 22.---"The less discipline the better," expresses the teaching theory of Professor A. H. Young, who has just retired from his post with Trinity College, Uni- versity of Toronto, after 40 years with that institution and a full teach- ing career of 47 years. He was honored at a banquet tendered by the University Convocation recently Prof. Young himself was educat ed in a period when masters used the cane without hesitation. But he does not hold wits the old theories "Young men have to have leeway, for it is their privilege to experi- ment with life as it is their lot to handle their life," he says. "Mas- ters should interfere with their boys as little as possible, and influence them mainly by winning their con- fidence and respect." Prof. Young also believes teachers should learn how to correct, criticize and reprimand, and when to do it. "The better you know men the less necessary is it to enforce discipline, Confidence is the main thing but | would not abolish the cane altoge- ther. It should be sparingly used but when it is used it should be ap plied thoroughly, with the boy un derstanding what his punishment is for and its value." But he rejects the "wild oats teory. "The fewer they sow: the less their crop," he said. "But it 1 of no value only to say 'thou shalt not,' for the boy then will surely d it. It is for the mentor to point vut the good and the evil, to influence him by direction rather than disci- pline, by telling him when he is wrong that he has made a fool out of himself -- which he generally knows himself. Youth thinks that old people are fogeys. Tt is depend ent upon our action and reaction t the young whether or not the stig ma is justified." Scholars of 40 years ago werd just as brilliant as those of today, says Professor Young, "There is a prevailing idea that students now- adays are a brighter lot. Not at all --scholarship has always been good. I will say this for the modern stu dents--in spite of greater facilitics for smoking, drinking and dancing they are a pretty sober bunch. Although he is 68 years old Pro- fessor Young has no thought of rc tiring.
