PAGE TEN ' . THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1931 ET A RE TT EASTERN ONTARIO NEWS Enter Big Swim Cannington.--Cannington is to be represented at the big Mara- thon Swim, of 15 miles, on Wed- nesday, Sept. 15th, at the Cana- dian National Exhibition in Tor- onto.

Registered 160 Lindsay.--"The Unemployment Bureau" in Lindsay, where the unemployed of the town must register if they hope to get re- lief this winter, showed that about 160 had registered at noon on Wednesday. More than 200 unemployed men registered last year, but it is possible that the reason for the decrease is that single men are planning on getting work on the northern highway this year. Due to this it would be impossible to show accurately how the town stands this year compared with last year in regards to unemployment conditions.

FRENCH TESTING NEW AIRCRAFT Half Airplane And Half Balloon Appears Successful Paris.--A new type of aircraft, half airplane and half balloon, has been tested at Orly field, near here, this week with such success that its backers believe it will have a great influence on aviation. Piloted by Jean Oechmichen, its inventor, the "helicostat" rose straight in the air to an alti- tude of more than 300 feet. It was then brought to a dead stop and later moved forward or back- ward at will. It attained a speed of about 50 miles an hour at one time. The craft has a semi-rigid gas envelope like a djrigible, with five propellors. Three are used to maintain. the ship's horizontal motion, forward: or reverse, while two lift it or lower it to the ground. Rudders and flippers such as are used on airplanes control the craft. The inventor believes it would be practicable for pleasure trips and effective as a bombing craft in wartime. MAYOR VISITED Bll BREWERIES Prague.--The hope that "Pilsen beer will soon be dully honored in New York," was expressed by Mayor James J. Walker, of New York, when he visited Pilsen and inspected the famous breweries prior to coming to Prague.

The New York Mayor visited the brewery and was offered a jug of beer. As he drank it he remarked that none of the cathe- drals nor museums he had seen in Europe gave him greater plea- sure than his visit to Pilsen, SEARCHING FOR FISHING BOAT Vessel and Three Men Missing For Some Time P-- Yarmouth, N.S.--Search for a disabled fishing boat with three men aboard has been going on without success since Friday morning when a message from the steamer Farnorth was re- ceived here stating that the Francis, commanded by Capt.

Capelin, stationed at this port started searching for the missing craft soon after re- ceipt of the message, returned to port for fuel and provisions Sat- urday night and set out again Sunday morning to look for the disabled boat. An American was taken to a smoking concert at which one vo- calist gave a spirited rendering of "Scots wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled." The guest, on being ask- ed how he re-acted to that martial air, replied, "Wal, it's not only a vurry nice li'l song, but It's a cute bit of publicity for 'Edgar as well." FIND NUGGET IN PLACER MINE Spectacular Returns Re- ported From Western Gold Field Victoria, B.C.--Spectacular re- turns from placer gold mining in northern British Columbia have been reported to the Mines De- partment of the Provincial Gov- ernmnet. On Ruby Creek, in the Atlin mining district, the Lake Superior Mining Co. is reported to have recovered a nugget weighing 47 ounces.

T0 GUT DOLE BY TEN PER CENT. New Non-Partizan Govern- ment Proposes Reduc- tion in Benefits London, August 27--A proposal for a ten per cent. reduction in unemployment benefits was made by Prime Minister J. RamsayMac- Donald to-night, a few hours after King George had approved the new national cabinet of four La- borites, eight Conservatives and two Liberals. In the course of a radio speech, MacDonald confirmed that the Government will propose the so-- cial service reductions. He ap- pealed to the nation 'to support the emergency Government in its efforts to guide Britain through a grave financial crisis. "But the children's allowances (social service funds) will not be touched at all," the Prime Minis- ter added, in reference to the dole fight which split the Labor party and caused the former Govern- ment's fall. "The cost of living has decreased ten per cent. since 1929. The unemployment benefit is not a living wage and was never meant to be." MacDonald, who was born in poverty in a two-roomed thatched hut at Lossiemouth, began his third premiership by asking "everyone, rich and poor alike, employed and unemployed, to face our difficulties with hearts determined to overcome them and conscience ready to respond to whatever call may be neces- sary." Not Deserting Socialism He struck back vigorously at critics in the Labor party who ac- cused him of deserting socialism, and said he did not hold the cred- new Government. "My credentials are those of a national duty as I conceive it,"" he said. 'I obey them irrespective of the consequences." It has been predicted that he will be overthrown and thrust in. to oblivion by the rebel Laborites. He replied to reports that the Labor Government's fall was due to a "banker's conspiracy" to force dole reductions. "I give my most emphatic assurance that it is not true," he said. MacDonald ascribed the causes of "the financial emergency' to world-wide depression, the Ger- man financial crisis and foreign investors' anxiety as to the Brit- ish budgetary position. He also blamed propaganda. Foreign Countries Not Blamed "It is not true to suggest that foreign countries have been trying to harm us," he said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. They helped us greatly and are ready to help us more. . . . It is essential that confidence of the world in our credit should be re- stored. Otherwise we will be un- able to maintain the value of the pound sterling. "Action, swift and decisive and effective, has been asked: this we propose to give." He said the present occasion was '"'unusual rather than sor- rowful." "I have given my life to build- ing up a political party. I was present at its birth. I was its nurse when it emerged from in- fancy and attained adult years. "This moment has changed none of my belief; none of my ideals." entials of Labor as head of the | made at once on account of pub- licity." Rosenthal's friend and attor- ney, Edward Nathan, told police he had received four letters de- manding $100,000. He said one of them, in Rosenthal's handwrit- ing had told of his plight. Rosenthal, it was revealed, in- herited several million dollars on the death of his father last year, but this is held for him in a trust fund until he is 30 years old. He Jes been leading a gay life, it is eported, on an allowance from his mother, who also put up the money for the brokerage firm. -------------------------- 1S. HAS MANY (NDESIRABLES Unwanted Canadians Are Now Across the Border Washington. -- The wave of emigration from Canada to the United States in the past decade removed from the Dominion many of her more undesirable citizens, according to indications in the report on crime and the foreign- born by the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforce- ment, released at the White House. New York City figures showed Canadians as comprising .63 of the population and with .62 per cent, of the admissions to correc- tional institutions. In an aver- age of five such institutions in Alleghany county, Chicago, Cleve- land, Detroit and Erie county, New York, Canadians provided 1.37 per cent of the admissions over a five-year period, while they were estimated to make up 1.83 per cent. of the population in the territory. In the specific classification of liquor law violations, Canadians showed up much more favorably, since it was calculated that they comprised 1.58 per cent of the population on a federal basis, yet convictions against them amount, ed to only .54 per cent. Figures on Canadians commit- ted to state prisons during a one- year period were higher than the average for all foreign-born, but lower than the native-born figure, etanding at 32.8 per 100,000 pop- ulation. The figure for foreign- born white as a class stood at 22.8 and native-born at 46.3. Canada provided 7.6 persons per 100,000 population in federal prisons, while the ratio for for- eign-born stood at 6.9 and the na. tive-born at 12.7. If the standing of Canadians in relation to American crime is judged on the basis of arrests rather than of convictiops, the showing made is much more fav- orable. In New York state, ac- cording to one table in the report, there were only 160.8 Canadians arrested per 100,000 of Canadian population, whereas 346.7 nafive- born persons and 207.86 foreign- born persons were arrested on the same basis of calculation.
