THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1951 Toronto, Nov. 18, --Alarm of those unfamiliar with the theory of the exchange rate and: sharp distinction that should he drawn betw standard ang cur- 'rencies, is partly due to pr 'ganda spread by the by-metall according to W. H. Moore, M.P., former chairman of the Dominion advisory board on tariff and taxa- tion, who addressed the Board of Trade elub he Royal Bank building last nig "Gold," Mr, Moore continued, "is possibly the most permanent ' commbdity we have in thé world to-day. Statistics show that al- though trade. has increised an- nually and steadily 3 per cent. with a brief but disastrous falling Off during the years of the war, the population of the world has glso increased one per cent, dur- the same period. The prob- m then, appeared to be, have we gold to stand that incre~se in Jopulation? ""The reserve appears to be not sufficient in some countries but that is understandable. Just as some individuals have more gold Juan ote, gH it is with nations. Silver Man Appears i Mr, Moore pointed out that when all legal debts were dis- ¢harged upon presentation of metal, it promoted a foreign ex- hange with short term credits eing accepted between countries. ut through these foreign com- lications, he said, the United tates found itself holding vast pplies of gold, London was holding more gold than before he war, Most of the gbld was be- ng held against what was term- d "short term paper." It was on- & lately that Central European banks had been getting their gold back. "But then the gilver man ap- peared and painted a picture of 450,000,000 Chinamen waiting br us to trade with them," said r. Moore. '"He coined a new hrase: 'Trade with the Orient.' t looked like a good argument nd we forgot for the moment hat the by-metallist is a phrase- maker, He blames the depression bh the falling off of trade with the Orient. '""He said silver had depreci- ated, lessening the buying power f the Chinese, As foreign traders hey are the world's worst! Ori- ntal trade was reported to have allen off 271-2 per cent, A study f the situation revealed the hinese only have 21-2 per cent. all the world's trade--there- fore their trade only fell off 27- 32 per cent. of 2 1-2 per cent. "Yet the silver men ask us to 'put silver back," he continued. "If we do it will come out in our tax bills. The United States is irreproachably on the gold stan- flard, silver has been absolved. But the silver man is never down. He says we ought to sell the Chi- ese wheat. Does he kn'ow that hinese grow nearly as much «wheat as we do in Canada?" Mr, Moore said the Chinese re canny business. people. Af- buying more wheat than ever fore in their history, buying fell off suddenly last July because they thought wheat was gbing own. It did go down, So did sil- . Perhaps that was because the ustralians "dumped" wheat and ld at $2 per ton less than Can- Mr, Moore said Canada would never get rich growing for Chinese.

A summer-like day greeted the young men as they proceeded to the home of friends, The order from the Attorney- General's Department was await- ed hourly and was received by the jailer, J. B. Reenolds. - In- carcerated for over a& year, the McNells walked forth without a mark against them after three trials at Supreme Court sittings, at all three of which the jury disagreed. The trials cost the country alone well over $5,000. ------ Gilford McNeil was for some time in Oshawa, an employee of The Daily Times, leaving this firm in 1923, while Harvey was employed in the local branch of the Bank of Montreal. HAPPY REUNION IN CONFINES OF JAIL Half Brothers Both Held on Immigration Charges Rochester.--The story of a happy reunion of two British half brothers in the confines of Monroe County jail was revealed with the departure of one of the youths for Buffalo to face charges of illegal entrance in- to the country. The silence of the early morning lineup and count was broken by shouts of joy, jail attaches revealed when Edward Kerr, 27, recognized the youth standing next to him as his half brother, Norman, 17, whom he had not seen since the two youths left their Newcastle-on-Tyne home six years ago to seek their fortune. During the morning recess the half brothers traced their wander- ings through Canada and their en- trances into this country, ending with their arrest and confinement in the jail here, Edward entered the country on the west coast and worked his way to Westfield, N.Y., where he was picked up and sent to Rochester to await deportation. Norman, under an alias, entered at Niagara Falls and was arrested and sentenced to 30 days on a vag- rancy charge. He was transferred to Rochester to serve the sentence. Tt is expected both youths will even- tually be sent to England. FIRST PHONOGRAPH CAUSED SENSATION Lond --'The tion caus ed by the first Edison phono- graph brought to England is thus described by Alan 8, Cole, for mer assistant Secretary of the Board of Education, South Ken- sington, in a letter to The Times: "Early in the nineties my wife and I were of a smal] party din- ing in the house at South Ken- sington, invited by Colonel George TFitzgeorge. The late Duke of Cambridge was present to meet Colonel Gouraud and to hear him explain the KEdison phonograph which he had just brought over from the United States. He demonstrated its working and then asked the Duke to speak into the instrument. This he did with hesitations and well-rolled 1's, congratulating Colonel Gouraud upon his great success. Immediately, before the Duke could sit down, the machine usted, to deliver the lr Ben rae and dia with such accuracy that his Royal Highness slumped back on the cushions, calling out the 'Devil's fn it" DEMENTIA CASES DOING GOOD WORK Inmates of Institution Prove Their Skill as Carpenters Winnipeg, Man. -- "Cases of Dame 3 carpentry and produce same mar- hveliously fine work," So de- clares an authority at the Selkirk Mental Hospita;.

The interest aroused by the work itself, stimulation of the mind and exercise of the voay through a useful task, constitute an important part of psychopathic treatment, FIVE THOUSAND AT BIG BRIDGE PARTY Toronto. -- Like. a fantasy world of cards--acres of bridge tahles -- with broadcasting used that all the rooms might hear announcements--such a scene livened the Royal York Hotel on a recent Saturday afternoon when nearly 5,000 women attended the largess bridge party on record. It was held by the Canadian Buriness and Professional Wo- men's Club in ald of relief funds. The big party was going on throughout the convention floor, in the roof garden and the sey~ eral main rooms of the hotel. AFRICAN MAN OF GREAT ANTIQUITY Traced Many Thousands of Years Further Back Than Archeologists Had . Thought Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa.-- An important discovery in East Africa has caused the revision of previously accepted ideas, con- cerning the antiquity of man on the African continent, nt investigations by the East Afri- can Archaeological Expedition prove conclusively that the skele- ton found at Nairobi by Hans Reck in 1913 is much older than was at first thought. The skele- ton has now been assigned to a geclogical strata of much greater axatiquity. Sir Arthur Keith, M.D., Con- servator of Museum and Hunter- fan Professor of the Royal Col- lege of Surgeons of England and a fcrmer president of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Lon- don, in an interview with a Lon- don newspaper, sald: "It is a very important dis- covery and shows man in that part of the world to be many thousands of years older, The geological discovery, together with the discovery of weapons of great antiquity in over-lying, and, therefore, much earlier, strata, proves that the first estimate of the age of Reck's discovery must be revised." This new discovery suggests that man is as old in East Africa as in Europe, where much more definite material has been brought to light. LONDON BOY HIS OWN DETECTIVE London.--When Sidney Poyn- ton, a Kilburn boy of 15, lost his bicycle through theft, he deter- mined to be his own detective, He scoured markets where sec- ond-hand cycles were sold, and in Caledonian Market, recognized his own machine in the charge of Alfred Gascoine. He called a po- , liceman, but Gascine declared he had bought the eycle. The b removed the saddle' and too from the hollow frame a piece of paper with his name and address. At Willesden Gascoine was sen- tenced to six months' hard labor, Police said he was one of the most notorious cycle-thifves in the country, REYNOLDS WORKS ARE BEING SOLD Lord Sackville Offers for Sale Two Portraits Paint» ed by Great English Artist London,--Two famous pie tures are in danger of being lost to the nation. Lork Sackville has decided to sell the portraits of George III. and Queen Chazlotte, by Bir Joshua Reynolds, present- ed to one of his ancestors by the King in 1779, and which have since hung at Knole Park, the Kent residence of the Sackville family. Lord Sackville said to an in- terviewer: "I shall make every effort to ensure that the pictures will be kept fn England, but the matter rests with those who have the money to purchase them, My reason for selling them is that, owing to increased taxation, I have got to find more money. And as I do not want to reduce my payroll, and turn off people in my service, I must find some way of raising it, I am trying to get people in England to buy the pictures and have not followed up tentative offers made from across the Atlantic," Two years ago Lord Sackville sold the Hopprer portrait of the Sackville children to Thomas W. Lamont, an American banker, for a record price. Shortly after- wards another Gothic tapestry, crossed the Atlantic, and Ru- bens's sketch, "The Dean of Adonis," was also sold, Lord Sackville, who had a distinguished career in the army, and after the war became Lieu- tenant-Governor of Guernsey, was married in 1924 to Miss Anne Meredith Bigelow, of New, York, BRITISH GOV'T. IS APPLYING THE AXE IN ALL DIRECTIONS London.--It is not only the salaries of Civil Servants that are to be subjected to "cuts'"--the axe is also to be applied to the supply of furniture in Govern- ment offices, The Post Office has a furniture committee on which the official and stag sides are rep- resented. At their recent meeting the chairman stated the Office of Works had been pressed to eut down the expenditure to a minj- mum. The axe will be applied not alone to estimates for mext year but to money already pro- vidéd $n the estimates for this year. The Office of Works is sur- rendering moneys voted where the depariment is not already committed to expenditure. In the Post Office, where contracts have not been placed for the replace- ment of old furniture--there were several schemes approved-- action is to be deferred for an indefinite period, CITES FOLLY OF GOING TO COURT Judge Points to Heavy Ex- pense Incurred by Litigation Yel don. --County Court Judge J. D, Crawford, at Romford County Court recently, depracat- ed the folly of litigants going to the expense of taking cases to the High Court, He asked: "Why can- not the British public see the ut- ter folly of bringing actions fin the High Court with all the heavy costs which are involved?" Before him was a debtor of 25, who had lost an action for damages, con- cerning a motor accident, It was stated that the. costs in the actfon were about $1,350, "For yebrs' sald the Judge, I" and "others have been trying to show the foolishness of bringig "sueh ae- tions in the High Court, but no one takes any notice." It was in- expressibly sad, he sald, that a young man ghould have this mill- stone hanging round his neck for life. He (the Judge) wished he could do something te stop ft, but he wag as powerless as the penell he was holding, He refused to make a committal order, but made a new order fcr $10 » month, "GOLD REEF" LEGEND REVIVED Possibility that the fabled EI!

'The "lost Yool of the Waterburg has been a legend in that part of the world ever since it first was reported in 1888 at Zwagershoek, Apparently the reef was found by two old prospectors, who kept it a secret until their death from malaria.
