MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9th, 1931 When Town and County Unite The Times on many occasions has had eonsiderable to say with regard to the pro- motion of trade, good will and fellowship be- tween town and rural communities. This paper has expressed the opinion that in- asmuch as Oshawa depends to a large ex- tent on its country trade, every means should be employed to develop and increase it. Here is what the Toronto Globe in a re- cent issue says on the relationship of town and country: "Town and country should march to- gether in sympathy and understanding, each getting a fair deal. Absence of that is what makes the position of the farmers distressing at the present time. Govern- ments hav€ given much thought to city re- lief, They hear of men starving, in com- plete lack of resources. They are apt to think of farmers surrounded by food, much of jt wasting for want of market. At the very worst, they think, the farmer cannot starve to death. He will always have wheat and potatoes and other indispensables on his own property. That is only part of the picture. We should remember that town and country are supplementary to each other, and mutually dependent. Of the entire produc- tion in Canada, as reported for 1928, that of agriculture comprised in value 36.42 per cent., while that of manufactures was 44.12 per cent. Considering the high values of refined manufactured goods and the sim- plicity of farm products, it will be seen that proportions quoted do not give agri- culture quite its true perspective. Thus, agriculture and manufacturing are the two senior partners in Canadian popula- --_tion and wealth creation." k pe © tion very well. An Efficient Government Service ~ In a series of articles, dealing with the apple crop conditions in this part of On- ~ tario, and recently published in The Times, particular mention was made of the activi- ties of A. Fulton, overseas representative of the Ontario apple-growers, in assisting with the marketing of the crop overseas. This is one case of a government service for agriculture that has proven its worth to the men back on the farms. It was inter- esting to note how the farmers with large apple crops appreciated this service, and paid heed to Mr. Fulton's weekly reports from England. By his efforts, some intel- ligent measure of apple marketing has been made possible, and the farmers are securing larger returns for their apples than would otherwise have been the case. = "*x, The Ontario minister of agriculture, in ~* providing - this marketing service, has recognized that the main problem of the Ontario farmer is not to grow crops. As a rule he can look after that part of his voca- The problem which besets * him most is to market his crops profitably after he has grown them. In connection with the apple crop, which is this year so important to Ontario and 'Durham counties as a cash crop, assistance in this direction is being given, and is help- ing the apple grower to sell his product with profit. The government is to be com- mended on its foresight on providing this service, and also in placing it in such capa- ble hands as ¢hose of Mr, Fulton. Russia's Wheat Failure Russia's spectacular advance into the 'world wheat market has been short lived. A year ago she plunged recklessly into the ex- 'port of wheat, and brought chaos into the Foeid market. Today she is being forced to carry out contracts. e trouble was that the communal sys- n of agriculture worked once in Russia, could not be repeated on the same scale. t year, as a result of this experiment, produced the greatest wheat crop renty years, and had a surplus left with h to world markets. This year, pver, the peasants decided not to he led again, They couid not see the logic growing large wheat crops, only to have m taken over by the government at tever terms the government cared to ne. So they naturally slackened their rts, and this year Rugsia has not grown : enough wheat to meet the re- ements of her own people. It is not always a pleasing thing to con- plate prosperity at the expense of an- nation. Prosperity, however, is likely return to Canada because of the fact rchase grain, on a rising market, in THE OSHAWA DAILY that the wheat crop in Russia has been a dismal failure. Yet there will not be much sympathy among the Canadian wheat growers for the plight of Russia. They cannot forget that their losses of a year ago were caused by Russian wheat dump- ing, and they will be rather glad that, if prosperity is to come to them through the losses of another country, that country should bé Russia. It is inevitable that the Russia crop fail- ure will mean much to Canada, since it leaves this country and the United States as the only nations with an exportable sur- plus of wheat, until the Australian and Ar- gentine crops are harvested in January, This means higher prices, prices which will be more in keeping with production costs, and which will allow the farmers a surplus of cash with which to meet needs which they have had to forego for the last two vears. And if, in supplying these needs, the industries of the east are provided with a new stimulus to production, the results to this country will be so far-reaching that prosperity will come more quickly than most people imagine. A Reasonable Request (Stratford Beacon-Herald) A request has come from the relief office in Toronto for the services of a lawyer to give advice to some of the men there who find themselves facing peculiar situations where it is necessary that they should make the next move correctly, The Board of Control has asked the Up- per Canada Law Society if it could arrange for some lawvers to eive half a day a week to this work. Whether there will be any pay attached to this work is not stated, but from the manner in which the report is given it would seem that no pay would be forthcoming. The request for free legal advice for those not able to pay for it is reasonable and right. It is something which should have been arranged for in this country long ago. In a very real sense we recognize this principle now. If a man gets into trouble and is brought to court a lawyer will be provided for him in case he cannot engage one. The same provision could well be made before people get into court.

There arg unquestionably m the world today peoples who, if they only have their arms left to work with nevertheless want to use them. To set them on their feet again, it would perhaps be enough to lend them money at a low rate of inte rest, and France is probably of this opinion. But the money of France belongs to the capistalists and the small investors of France, who are not going to change the habits of all owners of capital the warld over: an usurious figure to. the wretched man who is ene tirely without funds. THE HUMAN TOUCH (Sir Alexander Clegg in the Congregational Quarterly (London) Industry can never be shorn of its human touch except at the loss of efficiency. Men are men even when they become to some extent cogs in a ma- chine, but the better the men and the women the more silently and smoothly run the cogs, and it is the duty of the directors to encourage and con- tribute to all that promotes the well-being of their workpeople. | BITS OF HUMOR ; APPROPRIATE Ihat fellow I used to go out with has asked me to go to the Firemen's Costume Ball, but I don't know what to impersonate " "Why not go as an old flame ?"--Answers.

DEVIL'S ISLAND ESCAPE UNLIKELY | French Authorities Dispel lllusion Concerning Penal Settlement Paris.--Another illusion has been shattered--that anybody has ever escaped from Devil's Island, the French penal settlement, Authorities of the French Colon- idl Office were responsible for dispelling the illusion, Devil's Island, itself. they point out, is a barren rock on which never more than twerty of the worst types of French criminals live. It was this island that was used during the war to harbor tralt- org sentenced to banishment for life, Anybody who claims that ® has escaped from Devil's Island «| means that he has escaped from | the penal settlement on the main- land in French Guiana, Those who escape from this gettlement have never been on the island it- | self, They merely form part of the prison colony on the main- land to which "hundreds of French criminals are sent every year. "Anybody who has seen Devil's Island ftself knows that no one could possibly escape alive," an official of the Colonial Office ex- plained. "The currents are so strong and the rock: so precipit- ous that only specially construct- ed vessels can touch there." "If a convict attempted to escape in a small boat he would be flung into the shark-infested water." Such escapes as are made are from the mainland settlement, The prison colony is at a point known as St. Laurent, at the estuary of a swift-flowing river which divides French and Dutch Guiana, A huge wall surrounds the the | los- | | example, a party fi nment exists only the good of the people; they are supposed to make every dollar count gn doing needful things for all | the people, Gi nto busine hould be privat business for any busine 15 Poot city.
