MacDonald's Retirement Citizens generally will regret the deci- jon of Alderman Peter Macdonald to re- ire from municipal life. It was generally expected that in due time he would step up into the office of Mayor, for his ser- vice to the city as an alderman has been outstanding. For six years he has heen a valuable member of the city council, and his chairmanship of the finance committee t Jfor the last two years has marked him for higher honors. Ald. Macdonald, however, has decided that he has had enough. As he said in 'announcing his retirement, the office of alderman, and particularly that of chair- man of the finance committee, has made great demands on both time and energy. Men who accept responsibilities such as have been placed upon his shoulders must be prepared to make sacrifices for the com- munity they are serving, but sometimes a time comes when these. sacrifices are too great to expect any individual citizen to make. Ald. Macdonald will be missed around the council table, He has been conscientious to a high degree in carrying out his duties as an alderman, and his experience was of great value to the city. In retiring from municipal office, he will carry with him, not only the regrets of the citizens, but also their thanks for the time and energy and ability he has devoted to the handling of their affairs. Clearing the Air It appears that the special joint meeting this evening of the city council and the public utilities commission is to become somewhat of an inquiry into the recent letting of the contract for the filtration plant. It is just as well that this should be the case. In spite of the explanations which have been made by the chairman of the commission, and the statements of other members, there are still many people in the city who feel that everything is not as it ought to be. They have a feeling that i everything was not done in an open and above-board way, and it is difficult to con- vince them to the contrary. # Tonight's meeting, with the city counclii and the interested individuals present, 'convince them to the contrary. bh should at least clear the air, It will either * gatisify the council that everything was done in the best interests of the ph If the whole situation can be explained to" the + satisfaction of the city council, then we feel "that the citizens generally will be satisfied. It is true that there are some phases of _ the situation which do not strike the aver- age citizen as being in accord with sound + business principles, but the commission's od [Yo precipitate a disaster. ~ view was that the final result was very satisfactory from the standpoint of the citi- "zens who have to pay the bill in the final analysis. If that view is justified at to- night's meeting, much will be accomplished OW putting an end to the criticism "hich is so prevalent on the streets. © Extra Care Needed ese are treacherous times for motor- i. This was evident by the many cars in the ditches between Toronto and va on Sunday night. When snow and with it low temperatures, the ways become coated with ice, and the slip on the pat of the driver is liable Fortunately, there were few serious accidents during weekend in this district, and, this may 'be taken as an indication that the drivers | these parts are exgrcising sufficient to keep out of trouble. er winter driving conditions, how- it pays to be forewarned.

The only will help at all will be the exer- lives, and their. cars, they will not Good News for the Apple Men Growers of apples in Ontario and Dur-. ham counties will be greatly cheered by news despatches which have come from Ottawa and London recently. One tells of the granting of a preference in tariffs to Canadian apples, whereby they will enter that country free of duty instead of having to meet a tariff rate of one and three- quarter cents a pound. The other story tells that Canadian apples are being sub- jected to greater demand in Britain, and are being sold for higher prices, as a re- sult of the campaign in favor of buying Empire goods over there. This widening of apple markets, and the assurance of better prices, means tens of thousands of dollars for the apple growers of this part of Ontario. The store houses in Central Ontario are filled to overflowing with winter apples, placed there in antici- pation of better markets. It seems as if the growers and shippers guessed correctly in putting their apples into storage, and that they will, in the very near future, reap the benefit of their foresight. Editorial Notes December has at last decided that it is not going to follow in the footsteps of November. Some complaints are being received re- garding conditions in Northern Ontario construction camps, but even in the arm; there were some grousers. With the Democrats very strong in the new United States Congress, it is likely that President Hoover's power of veto will be working overtime while it is in session, Twenty-five more men from Oshawa are to be given work on highway construction. All of which helps to easé the local unem- ployment situation, Now that the snow has come, it will be easier to warm up to the Christmas spirit. "Roll your own" is a fine slogan when it comes to bank rolls, -- Kingston Whig- Standard. This will be remembered as the period when economics took us for a ride.--Arkan- sas Gazette. i Other Editor's Comments (Spectator (London)) The British Broadcasting Corporation is about to establish an Empire service, operating night and day, and capable of transmitting its programs to the ends of the earth, Powerful American and Russian stations can be heard in the remotest parts of the Empire. It is clearly desirable that a British pro- gram should be equally available to listeners all thi world over, in India and China as well as in the Dominions and Colonies. We understand that, by an ingenious device, speeches and other items once transmitted can be, so to say, stored up and repeated a few hours later. Thus the program sent to Aus stralia while South Africans or Canadians are asleep can be repeated for their benefit when they wak: up. The difficulty of adjusting a program to the different times of Sydney, Delhi, Capetown, Oi- tawa and Vancouver, and other Imperial centres, can thus be overcome, KILLS WORLD TRADE (Border Cities Star) Something should be done, The international tariff wall is killing international trade. The world thrives when goods move easily from one country to another. The world suffers when sky-high Cus- toms walls are reared... The United States is the most highly industrialized nation and it has the highest tariff; it is logical, then, that Uncie Sam should take the lead in any move for a scaling aown, BITS OF HUMOR "What age is she?"

She will not let onc shadow lie Between her body and the sky; She gardens in the dewy hours Among the sunrise flowers, And pours out drapghts of lilied snow For beggared little fields below.

Oh, proudly draws she down to rest The night against her breast, And leans through latticed shadow far To pluck herself a loosened star. quiet scorn valley-born common sod God. And yet is only Hungry aft Christ and Lenin By Michael Petrowsky In the now Unholy Russia there is a prominent Red poet who had published a flagrant poem, entitled "the 'Twelve,' where the shadowy figure of Christ bearing a red flag a-~ears at the head of the twelve wild, carousing soldiers of the Red Guard as they march through the streets of deserted Leningrad. The execution squad! , , , Christ at the 'head of them) , , . with a red flag. This takes place in the now un- godly Russia and one will undes- stand and forgive, perhaps. But what is there to be said of a cer- tain class of the iconoclasts in our godly country who go about the country lecturing to the church ga- thering, students in. colieges and women's societies straining their ay- thority in an endeavour to make a Bolshevik out of Christ, placing him beside Lenin, flagrantly pronounce ing to the Christian people that communism in the Soviet Union is but the embodiment of the Christ's ethics, and that Communism is more fundamentally Christian than our religious system of today?

Communism: 2--~Absolute loyalty to a cause, to the revolution, to so- cial control. Christianity : 3--Worldwide inter- nationalism for all humanity. Communism: 3~Worldwide inter- nationalism for ome class, tempor~ arily, their goal a classless soicety. Christianity: 4--The authorized motivation of love alone, Communism: 4---The motivation of class hate in the class war. "hristianity :5=--Liberty of the in- dividual--=political, civil, religious. Communism: S--An absolute dic- tatorship, as, a means to an end. Christianity : 6~Constructive evo- lution ; government by consent. Communism : 6--Destructive revo- lution: government by coersion, Christianity : 7--An ultimate reign of righteousness or social justice by moral suasion. But traditional al- liance with the status quo, and long compromise with social injustice Neglect of the social for the sake of individual salvation, Communism: 7--An immediate, new, creative, epoch of social jus- tice by compulsion. Neglect of the individual for the sake ot social sal- vation." Thus Chrictianity diverges from | and Christianity both have identical | prineiples and aims, i.e, the better ing ol the masses of people and un- iversal brotherhood, but this is erroneous supposition Any such claim was exploded by all the teach- fers of comt themselves, {the attitude of the Soviet leader {in regard to Christianity and all re- | ligic ns is clear, consistent and ur compromising Marx's Theory To quote Marx, the pre of communism, who said: "Religion is the opium of the people, "or Lenin who endorses Marx's i | ward religion." the phi basis of Marxism is dialect terialiss absolute t 2 tile to all religion , | combat religion , The | must be directed toward eradicating | the social roots of relivion , . . gion is the opium of the peo- * And Stalin says: "The Party t be neutral in regard to re- !

No Relation There is no relation between Christianity and communism---none whatever. Christ and Lenin--their teachings--are as far apart as the two Poles. They are negations of each other, two hostile ideas, as Lite and death, fire and water. They can never compromise, for there is no compromise between materialism and reli ion." These are the onpos- ing principles in life Therefore, when we sav that there is some parallel in the Christian and com- munist teachings leading to the same objective, we say it in ignor- ance of the both Christianity and communism. For the basis of Chris- tianity is brotherly love: "Love ev- en vour encmies, overcome evil with beret the good that you would seek by creative love, believe in men and in their ultimate re sponse to mtoral suasion, trust them a | appeal to the consent of the igoverned rather than coerce them by violence; patience can vet ercate a classless brotherhod by faith and [hope and love." A Bigoted Dogma Communism is a dogma with all the elements of bigotry, of intoler- ance and cruel fanaticism, swhase mandate is Hate: "Revolution is a storm sweeping aside that stands in its path . , . all opposition, hate your enemies, ! overcome evil with evil, and good will result." { And the "good" that results is of | a verygdubius nature. These re-| sults af® in contradiction to every code of the Ten Commandments, u perversion of the principles of the New Testament. And Communists ~unlike some Christians--not only believ+ in the theories of their faith, but apply them strictly in practice.
