"WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28th. 1931 The British Landslide Although the returns at the time of writ- ing are far from complete, there can be no doubt as to the result of the election in Great Britain. There has been a veritable political landslide. The National govern- ment, under the leadership of Ramsay Mac- Donald, has won a sweeping victory, and will have a majority in the new house of commons far in excess of the expectations of even its most optimistic supporters. Noteworthy among the individual results are the defeats which have been admin- istered to former members of the Labor cabinet. Along with their leader, the Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, these former mini- sters went down to inglorious defeat, this constituting a striking vindication of the action of Ramsay MacDonald in joining forces with the Conservatives and Liberals to form a National government. The fate of Mr. MacDonald himself is not as yet known, but, with the country voting so overwhelmingly in favor of his candidates, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be elected by a safe majority. . : . The sweeping victory of the National 'government, and particularly of the Conser- vative section of it, constitutes a situation . rather different from what was contemplat- ed. It is apparent that the Conservatives in the government will have a clear major- ity over all other groups in the house. It is not likely that, for the present at least, this will affect the status of Mr. MacDonald as premier, but there is a distinct possibility that the Conservatives might feel inclined to force his hand on tariff and other issues which are dear to the Conservative heart, and such action would, of course, mean that "MacDonald would have to pass out of the There is not much likelihood that this will happen, however, in the near future. 'Above all, the Conservatives are determined to restore British financial stability, and they realize that the only way in which this can be accomplished is by continuing the National government until stabilization has "been completed. There will, of course, have to be some concessions in the matter of & tariffs, but these will only be such as are _ "absolutely necessary to enable British in- dustry to revive. The net results of the election are, first, °°" the elimination of the Liberal party under Lloyd George as an effective political force, and secondly, the beginning of the dis- integration of the Labor party which was 'built up into a powerful political machine under the leadership of MacDonald. These © are the practical effects. "Above these, however, stands the fact * that the people of Great Britain have =" shown the world that they are adopting a sane and sound attitude in meeting the em- X cy which is before them. They have yefused to allow themselves to be stamped- ed. They have displayed that grit and determination under difficulties which are of the British race, and this demon- stration to the world that Britain is going "to fight her battle out on a sound and busi- . nmess-like basis, will do much to re-establish ritish credit throughout the world. City Should Accept The board of education showed commend- able sagacity in offering to the city council .a sufficient amount of land on the Simcoe "North school grounds to straighten out the dangerous curve on Simcoe Street at the northern city limits. The straighten- ing of this curve would remove a dangerous ituation, and the board of education has direct interest in its removal, because of the fact that it is so close to the school. From the standpoint of increasing public y, there should be no hesitation on the part of the city council in accepting this Re offer. As a rule, when a street to be straightened out, it costs a con- ble amount of money to acquire the y case, however, there is a free gift of , the only conditions attached being t the work be undertaken within six ths, and that the boulevard be left in atisfactory condition. : here should be no difficulty in meeting conditions. In fact, from.the stand- nt of creating further employment for 3 men, there"is an advantage in them, since this project could "be carried ~out with government assistance, and a num- r of men out of work employed on it. One conceive of any possible objection that the council might have to the proposal the b education, and it should be ed at the first possible opportunity. a plan, Accident Prevention Recently this city observed Fire Preven- tion Week, during which period special at- tention was devoted to a campaign of edu- cation in prevention of fire loss. This week the Life Insurance Company, which sponsors many worthy movements for preservation of health, is conducting an Accident Prevention Week in the district, 'and is going to special pains to point out the great losses of life and earning power which result from accidents. f In connection with this campaign, some startling facts are presented. From 1926 to 1929, the number of persons killed by ac- cidents in Canada increased by twenty per cent. In 1929, 6,100 persons lost their lives - in this way, and of these 1,300 were killed by automobiles. This means that in every seven hours of the whole year of 365 days, some person is being killed by an auto- mobile. This is a situation which provokes thought, and anything which can be done to induce the people of Canada to observe habits of safety is well worth while. For that reason, the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company is to be commended for tak- ing the lead in an accident prevention cam- paign, which, by reason of its educational features, should have beneficial results. Editorial Notes The goodwill mass meeting in King St. United Church this evening provides an ex- cellent opportunity for those who have sug- gestions for relieving unemployment to put them ferward. Judging from the way public opinion is crystalizing in opposition to paying men for their work in relief orders, no one is favorable to this system except the city council. There is some hope that another contin- gent of Oshawa men may be sent to the northern labor camps. Several hundreds of single unemployed men would be glad of the chance. . The United States and France have come to an understanding which may eventually mean the cancellation. of war debts. The sooner that comes the better it will be for the whole world. Here is a good motto to memorize: -- "Share--and be glad you can." The construction of the sewage disposal plant and filtration plant having been agreed upon, let us hope that men will be working on thése projects before Christmas comes along. I Other Editor's Comments RUSSIA AND GERMANY (Sault Daily Star) For once the Soviet government of Russia has been reluctant to play with fire in a powder house. On every earlier occasion when Russia's neighbor, Germany, passed through a difficglt financial situa tion, Russian agents were busy in Hamburg, Dres- den, Berlin and other cities, attempting to stir up revolution, In the present case Russia has appur- ently kept hands off, and one of the dispatches from Moscow suggests the reason, Russia's chief interest today is the five-year If this plan is to succeed, Russia must build up an export trade. One of the best markets for Russian exports is Germany. Revolution in Ger- many, might endanger the five-year plan by depriv- ing Russia of an indispensable outlet for the raw materials which she must sell abroad, in order to build up credit with which to purchase machinery and tools, If the Soviet's policy toward Germany is any guide, the world has less to fear from Russia, seek- ing prosperous markets for her wares, than from Russia, starving and empty handed. BITS OF HUMOR . NOT EASILY ROUSED He was a furniture remover's man, and his mem- ory, as he cheerfully admitted, was "very conveni- ent. "No," he said to the debt collector, "I can't re- member where Mr, Flit has taken his family and furniture." "Come, now," said the debt collector, "he hasn't been a week, and you drove the van." "Di 1?" "You know you did." "Less than a week ago?" "Funny how easily a fellow forgets." The collector offered him a ten-shilling note. "That ought to rouse your memory," he remarked. "It ought to do so," admitted the other, "but mine's no ordinary memory, and it takes a lot of rousing. Why, it cost a pound to put it to sleep."

THE CHILD AND ITS DEVELOPMENT Eye Care "of the Child" Part 2 ' Undernourished children, those under weight or premature are li- able to certain weaknesses which may later prove troublesome. Take notice of the pupils of the eyes. Are they unduly large and black. Is one pupil different in size to the other? Are the margins of the lids reddened and crusted? Don't let any of these conditions remain un- noticed for long. Twitching and flickering of the lids is an indication of nerve and muscles trouble of the eyes. Droop- ing of the lids may also indicate a form of nervous exhaustion, A tired, listless and sleepy child cannot concentrate or study. Many of those considered dull or stupid lack only a proper correction to vision, Many children fail in their school examinations because of nerve rack- ing eyestrain, (To be continued) to ED, .WAITR J. D. GOLD, EDITOR OF THE WILSON (N.C.) TIMES, SAYS: THAT business men of the na- tion favor some sort of planning to prevent depressions, according to an announcement as a result of a questionnaire sent out by the United States Commerce. Depressions can be avoided if the spirit of selfishness at the bottom of all our troubles could be eliminated, but the trouble is that not only selfishness and de- sire for inordinate gain rules humanity, but that at this time the world is so large and what- ever affects one part of jt af- fects another that it would be difficult to adjust the relations of life sufficiently far to reach all the elements that enter into ! the conditions tit bring about | depressions. Undoubtedly the law of supply and demand control every phase of our existence, and unless that law is obeyed we shall have ré- | curring moments of and depression. | tion which backs up on consump- tion, until the latter is unable to assimilate all that is produced, and then there is a reaction, be- cause the production cannot be sold or consumed, and so the wheels of commerce must be stayed until consumption catches up with production, When a factory can sell its goods or a farmer can sell the products of his farm, there is an inclination to over-produce until surpluses of all kinds are created, and then unemployment ensues because production must wait for an assimilation of what is pro- duced. As people are thrown out of emplgyment and those who are dependent on them are cut down in their buying power, 80 consumption is diminished, Mer- chants reduée their stocks, and the factories must wait until they can sell what stocks they have on hand. As the stocks are used up the mills start up and people are employed and the re- turn of prosperity is as rapid as the decline, after it gets well un- der way as the buying power in- creases. When it is in full blast factories begin to work day and night to produce, feeling that the volume of goods will increase their profits, when they are accel- erating auother depression, and so the story of human life and human miscalculation and human mismanagement is told over and over again.
