On Thursday and Friday, ten pension applications of local war veterans were heard. Then the court adjourned, and the tribunal left the city. So far as the proceedings in connection - with these ten cases were concerned, we believe they were fairly satisfactory to those whose cases were heard. The deci- sions have not yet been given, but there is reason fo believe that, for the most part, _ they will be favorable to the applicants. In spite of this, however, there is much dissatisfaction at the small number of Behind everything, however, looms the ominous shadow of Soviet Russia. With Japanese troops advancing into territory which is nominally under Russian control, and seizing railway points which are own. ed by Russia, there is a decided danger of the sphere of warfare extending. This is apparent by the warning which Japan has given to Russia to keep its hands off the situation. Intervention by Russia would undoubtedly lead to a major conflict, some- thing which the rest of the world dreads at the present time. : With this possibility present, it is more than ever important that the League of Nations should be able to secure an im- mediate settlement of the Manchurian trouble, which, bad as it has become, has not yet reached the hopeless stage. Editorial Notes ' . . The sight of their dead soldiers being sent home should awaken the Japanesc people to a realization of what they are Just to exercise his prerogative the 'Lown Crier is going to difter as phatically as possi with the editorial opinions exPressed by The Limes on Thursday under the cap- tion "A Truce in Armaments." 'The author of this column is very firmly of the opinion that the time is far from ripe for general disarm- ament, As Col. McCrae said in one of his poems "If ye have righted all the wrongs of earth, lay by the sword, its work 1s done," but the work of the sword, unfortunately, 1s not yet done while Soviet Russia has a standing army of several mil- lion men waiting -- waiting -- just waiting. Ii every nation of the world was to suddenly disarm,~-- what would be the result? The Town Crier is not one of those wha be- lieve that "Might is Right" but he does believe that "Right is. Might", following out that belief he forms the opinion that, under existing conditions of human evolution. Right needs Might. Would the fan- atica) pacifisty of this world disarm the village policeman because he shot a burglar? or are they. con- vinced that he acted rightly when the nccessity arose? It was the Prince of Peace who said "if the geod man of the house had known what hour the thief would come he Rowena insists on taking her place in the rumble so that she can side with Peter and have him to talk to about Carter.

No Easy Task Premier BR. B. Bennett has gone for a holiday, and is now in England, on his way to southern France. Never did a public man better earn the right to a respite from the care and troubles of state. Since "he assumed office after the general elec- tion of July, 1980, Mr. Bennett has been carrying a tremenaous load of responsibil- ity. To be prime minister of Canada in fimes like these is sufficient of a burden for any man. On top of that, however, | Mr, Bennett has been filling the position ' of minister of finance, another position "whieh is, in itself, a man-sized job under present circumstances. Mr, Bennett's break-down under this | strain was inevitable. The wonder is that he was unable to stand the strane for so i long. For months his friends have been urging him to find a new minister of fin- ance, and Mr. Bennett himself intimated © that he intended to do so, He has not, © however, as yet found the man to replace himself in that capacity, so he is still carry- | ing the load of the two major portfolios in the government, To fill public office of this character in factory manner is no easy task un. der even the most favorable circumstances. & 'Under conditions such as have existed Mr. Bennett became premier, the load responsibility and work is multiplied nany times over. Mr. Bennett has gone and a rest, but when he comes will, unless he appoints a new fin- minister, have, the same situation to Il over again, For his own sake, and the sake of the country, he ought to se no time in vacating the finance minis- by, and securing a successor who will re- ve him of the cares and responsibilities 'dual office.

"Just a pound, and not a penny over, have 1 spent these last ten years." "Excellent. Very sound sense. bank the ballance?" "Bank it? I don't bank it, 'ooman to keep house on."

LJ LJ id The City Council has now decided to call for plans of a sewage dis- posal plant suitable for Oshawa, and from these plans, if they' are ap- proved by the Department of Health, will select the most suitable. Surely this action should have been taken twelve years ago and not now. How did the councij of 1928 get plans of a sewage disposal plant, did they just look up some engineers in the telephone direc tory and instruct them to prepare a report? In any case it would ap- pear that the whole problem which has been worrying 'the council for so long is now definitely shelved tor at least a couple of Junonths. Dealers announced at the hegin- ning of this month that the price of coal and coke would be advanced fifty cents per ton, and the Town Crier wonders if this is to offset the degreased cost of transportation with added facilities at the local Harbour for shipping these com- modities to Oshawa by water, . There are many curious things taught in the schools of to-day in the opinion of older people, and the Town Crier learned of one during the past week which must surely win the gold-studded hockey skates. The son of the author of this col- umn brought home the results of one of his examinations, and from this it is gathered that he and other children in Oshawa, is told that "A.D." is the abbreviation for "Arter Christ", When the Town Crier went to school "A.D." stood for "Apno Domini" which, literally translated, is "In the year of the Lord" usually written "In the Year of Our Lord". Granting that "B.C." stands fer "Before Christ" surely in accepting "AD" as "After Christ" we are forgetting the scrip~ tural promise "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world", LJ LJ] LJ The people of Oshawa are to be heartily congratulated on the re- sult of the recent campaign brought to such a successful conclusion by the Associated Welfare Societies. In connection with this campaign a perusal of the lists of subscribers as published in The Times reveals ore fact (not a startling fact as it is usually the case), It is not al ways those who Possess the mest who give the most.
