Sinclair, house Toader of the s in the Ontario Legislature, has in public life long enough to know at men in his position become subject to pll kinds of rumors and reports, charges d counter-charges. Yet, with all his long perience, he must feel somewhat amused the stories which are now.

Once again, £3) e had decided to resign it was without' own knowledge. _#% The truth is that the position to be taken _by Mr. Sinealir is a source of some concern «to those who are now the official leaders of "the party in Ontario. They are aware of fhe prestige and strength which Mr. Sin- elair possesses, and they are just a bit ane ous as to what he is going to do. So, by ding reports and rumors, they are ing to draw him out into making state- . 'thents which might give them a clue as to his intentions, Mr. Sinclair, however, is 100 old a campaigner and too experienced #& politician to be caught by any wiles of "this kind, and the only hope which his op- nents within the party can have is to ep him so busy denying their rumors 'Wat he has no time left to do anything else. A THE FEDERAL BY-ELECTIONS IY The two federal elections on Monday, at + Hamilton, Ontario, and Three Rivers, Que. oa resulted, in each case, in a rather sur- ing reversal of the former allegiance of constituency. The Quebec election gave Conservatives what was formerly a Lib- seat, while the voting in West Hamilton resulted in an overwhelming Labor victory | what had formerly been a Conservative nghold. In both of these cases, it is not very dif- gult to reason out the result for the jange. In Quebec, the Beauharnois dis- ures made a great impression, and the i doubtless suffered as a result. The in which Liberal leaders were im- d in these disclosures hurt the party ndously, and the result is reflected ; clearly in the loss to the government if what has been regarded as a safe Liberal 'the last thirty years. result in the West Hamilton election, ver, is much more significant. The ryatives had a highly popular candi- he made no appeal to the working voting of the constituency.

EDITORIAL NOTES A jury which finds that excessive speed contribtued to the death of a motor acci- dent victim deserves credit for expressing its honest opinions. Plenty of juries prefer to sidestep an issue of that kind. In giving the streets wartime names for the period of the convention, the war vet- erans might consider placing on the street cars the old familiar signs, "40 Holmes, 8 Cheveaux." Ontario county is enjoying a bountiful Pian) but unfortunately, The prices do not make it as profitable to the producers as it might be. W. J. Trick, in accepting the presidency of the Kiwanis Club, said he did not have sufficient time to do the position justice. 'Yet when a real job has to be done, it is best to get a busy man to do it. The church choirs of Oshawa are to be commended on their thoughtfulness in ar- ranging for a massed choir concert for the benefit of the unemployed. An event of 'this kind deserves to be well supported. West Hamilton was a bad dose of medi- cine for the Conservatives to take. Unemployment helped to elect Mr, Ben- nett premier of Canada. But it was wholly responsible for the defeat of his candidate in West Hamilton. Other Editor's Comments | Eye Care and Eye Strain by C. HB, Tuck, Ops.

It is local and can have little bearing on the general welfare of the nation; 'but organized crime, as we rind it in the urban centers today, is a conspiracy against the govern. ment, against society and against the home. It must be stamped out if democratic government is to continue to exist, "Such a situation is the pro- ruct of indifference, of a shirking : MAINTAINING WAGES 4 (Washington Post) There is no cure for the worldewide dilemma of overprodiction that is so direct and so effective as high wages.

FEAR DOMINATES WORLD POLITICS i Sue of India Gives Views on Nation's Problems Fear is the dominant characteris: tic of world politics today; fear of starvation, fear of aggestion BY by 'stronger nations who the riches of smaller Fea es rar fear of industrial exploita has helped to bring about ¢| depres Pasion, is the opinion of Sir Nara: simha Sarma, presi dent of the way Advisory Committee In in the jects then railway, And fear nationalism is ta subject.

That is, he sapprov: es in Sheoky+do r of Indian na ism he did not speak bend m muzgled by his ernment ai Seng roduct of "Nationalism is but the ne product of fear," he told an interviewer in the Mount Royal Hotel, "Countries erect tariff walls about, them themselves because they fear industrial sub. jugation to ad th Be Each country is a that some other may want.to seize something belong ing to it. Patriotism and- national ism are whipped up all around, In- dustries are started in each country. in order: that there need be no im- ports, Every country: protects its own industries and thinks of free trade only when it finds that it has an exportable surplus to sell." ""It is all the result of fear and it can never disappear ti science has brought the means of preduc- tion to such a point that peoples no longer need fear starvation or the lack of necessities," he said. Sir' Narasimha hopes that the happy day of scientific plenty is coming, for he is convinced that it will wipe out national prejudices. "When there is enough for all then national barriers will fall," he said, "for there will no longer be any 'excuse for them. But it seems now that until that time the na- Narasi tions will have to be content to pro- duce only within themsgjves." Bitter Feeling Sir Narasimha Sarma was a mem- ber of the Executive Council an dia at the time when Canada made herself very much disliked among the native Indians through her ban on the immigration of Hindus into British Columbia. "Yes there was bitterness of feel- ing then," he admitted with a smile. "But," he shrugged his shoulders "We sge now that thére were some false premises to our agruments, At that time we assumed that because a person was a citizen of the Bri- tish Empire, he could naturally go and live in whatever part of the Empire he chose. "We see it wrong now, for Can- ada can and does exclude pgople from the British Isles themselves." India has a great problem of over population. Uhis year's census show- ed some 30,000,000 more ~ residents than that of 10 years ago. "But as to solving it?" Sir Nara- simha shrugged his shoulders, "Per- haps we will have to wait until that time when science provides better means of feeding and clothing the peoples of the world. Perhaps then it will not be necessary to have emigration from India ang--perhaps with nothing to fear, even for their descendants to the S0th generation the citizens of the sparsely settled lands will then allow our people to come in." --- MEXICO'S NEW MONETARY LAW 15 SET FORTH Montreal Board of Trade Issues Interesting Statement Montreal--The new monetary law adopted in Mexico is explained in a statement issued by the Montreal Board of Trade for the information of its members, The statement follows: 1.

Hon. Arthur Greenwood, Min- storms, ister of Health, provides for con- struction of 40,000 houses in rural ngland, renting for less than $1 a week, as part of a great scheme to aid farm laborers and to relieve unemployment. The bill has not yet completed its passage through the House. It prov vides for an advance of $10,000,000 from the Governmeént to rural municipalities. The State expects, however, to gain ,000,000 by the removal of 100, men from the fund lists, for construction of the houses is expected to employ 100,« men directly and indirect! The average weekly rent i the houses would be 75 cents or $1.12 4 including local taxes, "There is a way out of every situe ation.""--Chancellor Bruening, ation we restraint."
