ORMISTON _-- - -- GAVE ADDRESS ON FIVE-YEAR PLAN IN SOVIET RUSSIA Professor John Line Heard at Men's Banfjuet in United Church "The Russian Five-year Plan" was the subject of a most illuminat- ing address delivered by Professor John Line, Vietoria College, Tor- onto, before a men's banouet in Whitby = United Church Sunday School room on Friday evening. The banquet, served by the Wo- men's Association of the Church, was held for the purpose of con- 'sidering the advisability of organiz- ing a Men's Association or Lro- therhood in connection with the church. From Professor Line's ad- dress there developed to some ex- tent a debate on the merits and demerits of Communism, which took the best part of an hour, so that at ten o'clock it was considered too late to proceed with organization of an association. This was dcfer- red until January when a simiar banquet will be held. Mr. W. A, Holliday presided and introduced the speaker to the gathering which numbered about one hundred men. Church Needs Men Preceeding Professor Line's ad- dress, Mr. Ross Strike of Bowman- ville, president of the Bay of Quinte Laymen's Association, spoke briefly, stressing the need for laymen to organize in the church and reach 'out for men who do not associate themselves with the church because it has not made its appeal to them, and inasmuch as the church had not displayed an interest in them, Too many men today, said Mr, Strike, regarded the church as a mutual admiration society instead of a great spiritual force of which they had need. The church needed men's organizations to achieve its ideals and further its cause. Professor Line dealt only with the favorable features of the Rus- sian Communistic system as he viewed them from many angles, but he expressed the wish that had time permitted he might also have pre- sented the other side of the picture. "Industrial Revolutioin Harking back to the ldtter part of the 19th century in England, Professor Line dealt with some features of the industrial revolution which had followed the substitution of machinery for work which was done for hundreds of years by in- dividuals in their homes, and the setting up of the industrial or capi- talistic classes against the workers who had nothing to sell but their labor and were therefore obliged to bow to the dictates of capitalism. Historians of the future would re- cord that the decades following the industrial revolution in England were the blackest in all history. Professor Line showed that fol- lowing this revolution came the birth of a new humanitarism when jcapitalists had some consideration for the workers, and when social legislation was introduced in legis- Jative halls, But this humanitarism 'was not enough, as the workers developed the idea that they could and must do something for them- selves, and there followed the birth of the trade union movement, des- | pite much opposition. "A century l ago it was a more terible thing in F England to be a trade unionist than it is to be a communist in Tor- fonto under General Draper," said | Professor Line. Unionism Insufficient Continuing Professor Line point- ed that in the process of time that trade unionism was found in- sufficient to meet the social de- mands of the workers. Its advo- cates were more concerned with it as it was within itself. More wages and less hours were in the main its aims, worthy in themselves, but doing nothing to bring about human and just conditions in a fundamen- tal way. Professor Line paused to state that the evils growing out of the industrial revolution had not in these days been overcome by humanitarism, philosophy and t: unions, for today in wealth was in the hands os comparative few, individuals interlocked corporations controlled the indus- tries, banking systems, and oftimes the government, while the spectre of unemployment was rife through- out the country. To « those who worked there might be the incen- tive to gain something. To those with no work there was no hope. Doctrine of Theoris ts Developing the thought that all down through the years there had come a demand for better social conditions for the worker and a more even distribution of capital, Professor Line pointed out how various theorists had proclaimed the doctrine of "workers unite and demand your rights, and in so do- ing establish a new civilization." It had taken hold in Russian, cham- pioned by men who were not freaks or irresponsible, but rather men of giant intellect who fostered the communistic philosophy "the result of revolution tendencies and ideals --or rather born of cultural, philo- sophical and economic tendencies. Of such men were Lenin Trotsky and Stalin, wedded to these ideals, and prepared to put them into practice, So the government of Soviet Russia was born and cheri- shed and today was more or less successful in its achievements, The Five-year Plan Professor Line stated that wes- tern nations had made a great mis- take in refusing to give credit to Russia, Our attitude towards Rus- sia is largely responible for the economic depression of today, he declared, Professor Line referred to the steps taken by the Soviet government to enforce its ideals among the masses of the people, but warned that we of western civilization must not fail oursel- ves because we will not stoop to do the 'things done in Russia in this regard. In Russia came the adop- tion of the'great five years plan which to date had been partially successful, With basic industries established, Russia had entered up- on a second five-year plan for the establishment of luxury factories which would provide the people with more comforts. Professor Line deciaréd emphati- cally that the Russian system was more fundamentally christian that our religions system of today in that it came about in a natural way and had as its chief object the bet- tering of the lot of the working classes, the establishment of mod- ern social legislation and giving every man equal rights to work and earn, In Canada a few men con- trolled everything and the workers were at their mercy. The central principle of Com- munism was to carry on for the good of all and not the aggran- disement of the few. In Russia it was a shame to be rich at the ex- pense of the poor. The Ethics of Christ In closing Professor Line stated that while the Russian system had disowned God, it was more chris- tian than much of our religious professions today because in many respects it embodied the ethics of Christ himself, After his address Professor Line answered many questions put to him and there developed a very inter. esting discussion which brought out new facts concerning Russia, At one time Professor Line stat- ed "that while it was argued that Russia had left God out of the picture in its national development people of Canada today who pro- fessed to be religious were oftimes satisfied with lip service and in that respect had in every reality forgot- ten God, > Professor Line was voted a hearty vote of thanks for his able, and in- structive address. 4 For Perfect Famous ax Satisfaction BUY Reading Anthracite No Better Coal Mined and it is Biack - Hamilton By-Product : Coke THE FAULTLESS FUEL ° Manufactured in Canada.

Re GENERAL MOTORS OUTLOOK BRIGHTER (Continued from page 1) than ever before for motor cars, As everyone knows, the average new car customer does not drive his auto until it is ready for the junk pile. After it is two or three years old he trades it in for a new car which the dealer has in stock, and which, incidentally, was pro- duced some weeks earlier, The old ear is sold to a used ear buyer and usually remains in service for sev- eral years before passing into the scrap pile. Thus a new car is produced, not as aa result of an old ear having been scrapped but in an- ticipation of an old ear being scrap- ped at some future date. In a sat- urated market, every car in use might be looked upon as a barrier to new car sales, The degree to which it is a barrier depends not alone upon its age, but upon many other considerations, including up- to-dateness of design, mechanical conditions, ete., but since it is dif- ficult to reckon with all these fac- tors, analysts have attempted to measure the significance of cars In use by rating each car in terms of years of service remaining in it. Car's Span of Life For this purpose an arbitrary term of measurement has been adopted which is called the "car year," comparable to the measure- ment of electrical energy by the kilowatt hour, We find that the life of an automobile in the past 20 years has remained constantly ciose to six years. This, on first reflection, would indicate that the cars of to-day are nn better than they were in 1910, They are, of course, better, but due to impr red roads, etc., they travel greater distances in their span of life, For instance, a car in 1910 might travel only 2,000 miles, on an aver- age, in a year. Thus in 12,000 miles, or in six years, its life would be expended, Whereas the modern car might travel 20,000 miles in a year and would have an average life, also, of six years, Three-Year Cycle Basing our study on this fact of a constant life for all cars of six years, and knowing that it is not the practice for an owner to hold his car longer than three years, we find that every three years since 1910 there have been successive periods of inflation and depression. This distinct three-year cycle can- not be readily accounted for by the fluctuations of the general busi- ness cycle. It seems more or less independent of general business. Thus, breaking up the 21 years since 1910, we discover these three- year cycles, with the latest peak at 1929 and the latest valley im- mediately at Send, Let us ex- amine this most recent three-year term, 1929 Inflation ' The 1929 inflation created an over-production of ears, not par- ticularly because there was not a demand for new cars, but in the selling proclss there was an over- supply of Wsed-cars, Consequently dearevs found they had to move their used cars before they became active in the new models, We might have concluded that saturation had overtaken the industry: first in the new car market in 1926 and then in the used car market of 1929. But saturation is not a serious thing in a country whose popula- tion is still growing at a rapid rate, provided it is not accompan- fed by the inroads of some new industry. The automobile industry, in contrast to the majority of in- dustries building a specialty pro- duct, has come into saturation with- out being encroached upon by any competitive product. Not only is the motor car just as popular as it has ever been, but it is difficult to conceive of its being superseded by any other product. Upturn Inevitable Since the present gasoline con- sumption does not indicate any de- cline in usage, but rather the re- verse, as I have stated before, it seems reasonable to assume that there will be an urgent demand for new equipment at the first signs of returning prosperity. In other words, the upturn at the end of the third year of the cycle seems in evitable, The extent of the upturn, trhns. lated into car production volume. is hard to estimate, and I would not attempt to give a definite fore- cast of the industry's future in Canada. Much depends on general economic conditions, which migh' make it possible for the shortage of cars to persist and increase be: yond the usual three-year term even in spite of increase in car usage, However, on the basis of the three-year turnover, the number of new ear customers with cars ready to trade in in 1932 should be about 20 per cent, higher than in any year in the history of the 'ndustry. That is, at the ¢lose of 1931 we will be, in the United States and Canada, well over a mi) R. A. Hutchison and A. Archibald moved and seconded a vote of thanks to the ladies for the fine supper. A.

Evelyn Bowden passed her "stalk- ing" last week, this being the last bit of her Second Class test. .Miss Barrowclough taught the Guides to know the winter buds of four trecs--basswood, beech, chest nut and mountain ash, A new song has been learned that proved an instant favorite -- "De Boatman", and how those banjoes do twang! This adds a southern song to the company's repertoire. Miss Dorothy Spires, one of the lieutenants, was married last week, and Fifth company as well as all the Oshawa Guide family, wish her well along her new trail, Fifth is planning to hike on Sat- urday afternoon if the weather is suitable, and cook dinner in the op- en. Then a search will be made for the trees that were discussed in company meeting, Sth Oshawa Brownies Three ecruits were added to the pacic-Lote Loa, Doreen Per- kin and Doreen Colborne. Tawny took four Brownies for darning, and the pretty colored wool makes most attractive work. What will a hole in a stocking look ike? More brown ties have been start- ed, and Mrs, Whitelaw's hemming squad is getting along splendidly, _ The names of the Sixes are Fair- ies, Sprites, Gnomes and Elves. The "Sixers" chosen arc Muriel McGar- v- Lillian Marsh, Gwen de Guer- re and Mary Beaton. Brown Owl had a secret pow- wow with the Sixers to sce if they lion cars behind normal require ments, and while it seems hardly possible that any great portion of it places the market in a position to respond vigorously to any re- vival in general business, A volume approaching, or even exceeding, the production of the big year of 1929 would not seem un- likely sonmie time within the next few years if the cycle runs to form. If, on the other hand, as a result of the present depression, this cycle could be upset, and the making up of shortages be spread evenly over several years, the automobile in. dustry might emerge with greater stability, year in and year out, than ever before. General Motor's Outlook On the part of General Motors of Canada, we are in a position where our dealers' new and used car stocks, as well as factory in- ventory, are at the lowest level in years. Jt would seem to me that general business is overdue to start a long upward swing and I would not be surprised to see the auto mobile industry leading this move: ment. We have no reason for pes- simism in General Motors with re gard to our 1932 sales potential. In fact, General Motors of Canada an- ticipates a slight improvement next year over this. We have completed our regular annual inventories' at an eariler date than usual and we hope ta have most of our employees back on payroll at reasonably sat isfactory hours before the first of December.

Bedmaking, First Aid, and sewing for the new recruits came in the last evening's programme. An in teresting game of the "Guide Law" was played, which everyone enjoyed. In pow-wow the guides were taught, "White Carol Bells", by Miss Hazelwood, and they seemed quite eager, and willing to learn it. Sea Rangers The regular weekly meeting of the Sea Rangers was held on Wednes- day evening. Several more of the crew passed their tests for Sema- phore signalling. Next week Miss Robertson will start on the Morse Code. The Patrol leaders taught their patrons the first part of the Ser- vice section of the Able Sea Rang- ers Test, There was an enrolment of two of the new members, Margaret t'willey and Helen kvans. I'wo more girls will be enrolled next week. After the enrolment the new members were entertained bv the old members doing the Sailors' Hornpipe.
