THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22nd, 1931 Getting Men to Work Just when the unemployed men of the city had been buoyed up by the hope that at last something tangible was to be done . %to provide employment on a fairiy large scale, their hopes have been dashed to the % ground by the decision of the city council to hold up the construction of a filtration plant, pending advice from the provincial 2 board of health regarding the suggested sewage disposal plant. Perhaps there is good reason for this delay, but it will take more than reasons to satisfy those who % have been looking to the city coun-il," with the co-operation of the federal and provin- cial governments, to provide them with ® employment. %. . The Times has been consistent in com- _ mending the city council of 1931 fer its apparent desire to find ways and means of relieving the local unemployment situa- tion. It has been vigorous in its endeavors to secure from the provincial government recognition of the requirements of the 'city. When the government approved of a program of work to cost $300,000, the council was not satisfied. and pressed the matter so strongly that this was increased to $400,000. But to have money voted for work is one thing. and making a start on ~ that work is another, The fact is that, although this grant has been approved. no employment on any substantial scale is yet being provided. at present, there are 118 men on the city's payroll, although there are well over 2,000 unemployed men in the city. Tnese men will work for three days, and will then be laid off, while others take their places. . In about four weeks time, approximately, they may receive three more days' work. or this work they will receive one day's in cash, and two days' pay in relief cr- rs, and this is all they will have in four ecks. It must be realized, of course, that the city council has a difficult task before it, but that task was apparent months ago, when The Times advocated that the city _council should prepare its plans for relief employment in detail, so that, the mcment the approval of the government was se- cured, a start could be made. Had that been done, the council would have done its interviewing of the provincial board of health months ago, instead of waiting until now. Had that been done, immediate start could have been made on employing men on a large scale. Had that been done, there would not today be a disagreement between the council .and the utilities commission as to the wisdom of building a filtration plant. It might be said, of course, that nothing could be done without government approv- 'al. That is true, but at the same time the preparation of the plans could have been completed while waiting for that approval, instead of waiting until after the approval Was secured to have then completed. .. This is not written in a critical spirit. + Rather, it is an apepal to the city council 10 have done with delays. The main prob- to be tackled is that of actually getting n to work, and we would urge that this ob m be given precedence over anything else which the council may have before it. What Helps Business The statement made by Frank Mason, tary-treasurer of the Pedlar People, bed on its ability to maintain business ically normal levels during this year hy of more than pass- 'a year when business y, has suffered from a serious »is interesting to find a concern kind . going. along smoothly, and its volume of business. There it be a reason for a condition of this d, and in his statement Mr. Mason sup- 8. the reason when he says: "At the beginning of the year we felt that if our activity was to be main- "tained some special effort must be ; as a result we increased our ertising budget by a twenty-five cent. We have spent more this in advertising than for many years in the past, and this policy has : pn fully justified by the result. We have been enabled to maintain our mt on practically a normal basis ughout the year, when other. ls were, acc to reports, al- been able to re- # Ning SD Th J mal. After all, it is no secret. The same royal road to success is open to every busi- ness concern. The wisest maxim to apply to the present situation, as this company has shown, is that in times when business _is hard to get, advertising will get it. An Embargo on Gold "The Canadian government has placed an embargo on exports of gold to other coun- tries except by permit through the charter- ed banks. This is the inevitable outcome of two factors, the first, the abandoning of the gold standard by Great Britain, and the second the heavy rate of discount charged against Canadian funds in the United States. The payment of governmental and other major obligations in any other form of cur- rency than gold would mean, in dealing with the United States, a heavy loss; since Canadian dollars are worth only about 90 cents in the United States at the present time. Conserving the supply of gold to meet these obligations in that type of cur- rency will prevent that loss, and will have the effect of maintaining the strength of Canada's securities throughout the world. There is another advantage, however, to this step. It means that the Canadian dol- lar will, for some time at least, remain at a discount in the United States. From the standpoint of trade. this is to Canada's ad- vantage. Canadian goods will have the equivalent of a ten per cent preference in the United States markets, and in markets in which prices are controlled by the Ameri- can dollar. Imports into Canada from these countries, on the other hand, will have to bear an extra ten per cent of cost on ac- count of the discount on the dollar. This should, in the natural course of trade deal- ings, help to keep down the volume of Can- ada's imports and increase the volume of Canada's exports. This is exactly what Canada needs to balance her trade account. It is significant that, in the month of Sep- tember, for the first time in over two years, Canada had a trade balance on the right side. Continuance of discount against the Canadian dollar, and that is certain on ac- count of the prohibition placed on the ex- port of gold, should accentuate that condi- tion, and prove a decided stimulus to all lines of business in Canada which are inter- ested in the export trade and find strong competition from imports. Editorial Notes King Street Church, by buying 100 bags of potatoes for winter relief distribution, has set a worthy lead to the whole commun- ity. Business will be better when those who are employed stop using the excuse of un- employment as a reason for not doing nor- mal buying. It will be interesting to observe whether Harry Sifton, in demanding that Senator McDougald be read out of the Liberal party, has read himself out of it. While the city council and utilities com- mission are disagreeing about what work should be done, liundreds of unemployed men are waiting for the decision. An open forum for the discussion of ec- ononiic and employment problems is to meet next Wednesday. It will be success- ful only so far as long distance orators are kept from securing control of the meeting. | Other Editor's Comments THE RUTHLESS MOTORIST (Montreal Patrie) Some young persons, said to be intoxicated, were prosecuted recently for having killed, while out mo- toring, some farm animals on the road, It is rarely nowadays that motorists strike animals, either lost or led, on the main highways. Complaints are very uncommon. Country people take all the measures of precaution necessary. Nevertheless there are drivers who think themselves secure from legal pro- cess and do not scruple to slaughter a dog or a cat or even poultry, when they see them. The country roads, despite the constant surveillance exercised by the police, have not been altogether freed of objectionable drivers.

Trades Association Says Owners are Liable To Heavy Damages Montreal.--Those who pur- chase "bootleg" radio sets are liable to payment of heavy cus- toms' dump duties and also for damages through infringe- ment of patents through buying Famous a set not licensed in Canada, according to an official state- ment issued recently by the Que- bec Radio Trades Association which stated that a check-up is now being made with the object of presenting this information to the responsible authorities. "For some months now," the statement said, 'the number of these 'bootleg' sets coming across the border from the United States to Montreal and other points has been increasing, and purchasers have been found who are unmindful of the dangers of breaking the law to which they expose themselves, "One of the most difficult problems concerning these sets is the service work which radio merchants are called on to do. Oftentimes their service man- agers find it impossible to obtain parts for these radios when they are out of order, and when they can be obtained through reput- able channels the price of altera- tions and readjustments is such that local merchants hesitate to accept the work. This has been responsible for creating bad feel- ing, when, as a matter of fact, the purchasers of these sets are at fault, "The prices of radios on all makes now cover such a range that purchasers save very little if any by buying 'bootleg' sets.' Association officers pointed out that, "radios made by reputable Canadian manufacturers are now sold anywhere from about $50 and upward, The servicing of these Canadian sets presents no difficulties while the prices for this work have been standardized and are such that radio owners are satisfied. "Efforts are now being made to obtain an accurate idea of the number of 'bootleg' sets in the City of Montreal and other large cities in the Province, and when this information has been obtained it will be presented to the authorities who, it is ex- pected, will take any necessary action." GALES JOINS NEW MEXICAN CABINET Military Leader Assists President in New Crisis Mexico City. -- Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles, invincible military leader of more than a decade of Mexican history has returned to power as Secretary of War to end "intranquility" against the Gov- ernment of President Pascual Or- tiz Rubio. Calles, former president and re- cently head of the Bank of Mexi- co, was appointed leader of the nation's military forces after the Cabinet had resigned to permit reorganization of the Government by Qrtiz Rublo, "Recently intranquility has been renewed, especially in the capital, owing to agitation of var- ious kinds in the political realm," said the President in commenting on the frequency of past political crises. "In such circumstances I consider it my duty to propose to my collaborators the necessity of achieving a solution, implying not only momentary settlement, but also a formula of a definite char- acter resting on a desire for pub- lic welfare." The old Cabinet was reappoint. ed to office with the.exceptinn of four army leaders, Gen, Lazaro Cardenas, Minister of Interior; Gen, Joaquin Amaro, Minister of War; Gen, Saturinino Cedillo, Canadian Shredded W heat «is 1009, Canadian grain.

It was under- stood that Foreign Secretary Gen- aro Estrada and Minister of Fin- ance Montes De Oca would remain in office. Former Ambassador to Washington Manuel Tellez was believed likely to become Secre- tary of Interior, the chief Cabinet post. The return of Calles to a posi- tion of power was believed certain to strengthen the Government against any possible threats, such ag were indicated in the Presi- dent's statement. Calles was the leader of the Revolutionary (Gov- ernment) Party in its great drive for power, heading a revolution which made him the outstanding figure of Mexico. He maintained his domination as president and later returned to aid former Pres- ident Emilio Portes Gil by sup- pressing the 1929 revolution with a remarkable display of military power. A few months ago, when Mexi- co faced serious financial difficul- ties, Calles was called in as presi. dent of the National Bank, and the "Calles law' providing a sil- ver basis for stabilization of cur- rency, was put into effect, tioned the pet in some of 'his let- ters.
