THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1940 PAGE THREE RIBUTE TO BRITAIN; TRADE ROUTES ARE OPEN DESPITE WAR merican Business Execu- tive in Address to Whit- by Rotary Club Sees Great Changes Coming in Foreign Trade After the War -- Britain Far From Being Blockaded He Says . Whitby, Ontario, August 28. -- "The British have certainly kept the seas open no matter what otheis might say," declared R. W. Gifford, Vice-President of the: Norge Cor- poration, of Detroit, speaking on the important question of foreign trade, at the weekly luncheon of Whitby Rotary Club at Hotel Whit- by Tuesday. A man who has travel- led extensively in every country of the world, Mr. Gifford, because of his many experiences, was able to make his talk very interesting in- deed. Although an American by birth, he spent fifteen years in Can- ada, end has made numerous trips to the British Isles. Introduced and brought to Whitby by Rotarian R. G. Grobb, Mr. Giifford's subject was "The Export Man--the Forgotten Man in Business." At the outset Mr. Gifford pointed out that the trend of foreign trade is an interesting listory, and this was one of the reascrs why Britain was so concerned about her trade life lines to all parts of her vast Empire, and also to other countries. This trend of foreign trade, he said, exerted more Influence in various phases of national life in most countries than any person had any conception of. Touching directly on the South Americen republics, Mr. Gifford gave the lie to those who claim that the Germans have made great in- roads on trade. "The situation is not so serious as you think," he de- clared, nor had the type of dictator- ships there anything in common with those of the Europeam dictat- orships. Even in Mexico was this the case. Mr. Gifford said that the chances were definitely against thz type of dictatorship now getting a hold in South America. Coming back to the question of foreign trade, Mr. Gifford said the loss to British trade since the war opened had been licavy, but he was confident that it would come back and very rapidly, as i. had after th2 last war. He was unable to say what foreign trade is geing-to do after the war. Today, he said, outside of Britain, where {foreign exchange conditions are governed to a large extent by export irade, and count- ries now at war, business was ex- ceptionally good and shipping fa- cilities much better than-one would think with very few losses. This de- largely to the British Navy whicn had kept the trade through Britain open. In closing, Mr. Gifford said there might be a complete change in ex- port trade after the war, and all we can do now is exert every effort to do business and keep same moving through the regular trade channels. The vote of thanks to Mr, Gifford was moved by Rotarian E. L. Od- lum. In the ahsence of President Donald A. Wilson, the gathering was presided over by Past President G. M. Goodfellow. RECTOR LEAVES FOR NEW POST Rev. J. C. Clough Says Goodbye to Brooklin, Port Perry Charges Rev. John C. Clough, for the past two and a half years rector in charge of Anglican churches at Brooklin and Port Perry, conducted his farewell service on Sunday last, the churches at both places being crowded to the doors. Rev. Mr. Clough spoke at Brooklin . in the morning; conducted a memorial ser- vice in St. Paul's Cemetery at Col- umbus in the afternoon, and in the Anglican church #&t Port Perry in the evening. Rev. Mr. Clough has been com- missioned by His Lordship, the Right Rev. Derwyn T. Owen, Arch- bishop 'of Torontv, and Primate of All Canada, to build a new parish in the Bathurst district of North To- ronto, a task for which he is well fitted in view of the success of his ministry in this. district. He has built up both congregations. At St. Thomas Church, Brooklin, during his ministry, the church building has been completely renovated and several valuable memorials install- ed. Rev. Mr. Clough :s a graduate of Trinity College and was Secretary of the Great Deanery Chapter, ADANACS WIN AGAIN New Westminster, B.C., Aug. 28.-- The Canadian champion New West- minster Adanacs marked up their second-straight victory in the best- of-five semi?final series in the In- tercity Le:rosse League by defeating Richmond Farmers 13-10 here Mon- day night. Farmers won the first game 16-8, while Adanacs took the second 13-8. Next game will be play- ed here tomorrow and if a fifth game is necessary it will be played sirable condition he attributed very Friday. Experts Say Sixth Of Total Operating Strength Employed (By DREW MIDDLETON Associated Press Staff Writer London, Aug. 28 -- Three thous- and German warplanes, said to rep- resent one-sixth of the Nazi air | force's total operating strength, are | being used in the aerial offensive aimed at breaking the Royal Air Force and the spirit of the British people, neutral air attaches esti- mated yesterday. The new practice of sending planes singly or in twos and threes, instead of the original plan of mass attacks by scores and sometimes hundreds "of bombers on ga single objective, has been less costly to the Nazi air force, these observers declared. The former tactics enabled the RAF. to concentrate its defences, and a burst from a British fighter's guns fired into the thick of a Nazi formation was sure to dam- age, if not bring down, at least one of what R.AF. pilots called "sitting bir From personal observations, the actual damage done in the Lon- don area was small. It is more difficult to calculate the effect loss of sleep and war "nerves" will have on the people and on indus- trial production after 10 days or two weeks more of this. The fires started by Saturday night's raiders were as spectacular and did about as much damage as a three-alarm blaze in a North Americai city's financial or com- mercial district, They were curbed swiftly--mainly because long months of comparative peace had enabled the auxiliary | fire service to learn the best de= fence against fires started by in= cendiary bombs. One fired warehouse, full of es- pecially inflammable material, was | brought under control in little over an hour. Its contents undoubtedly were lost, but more important to upon, actually risk London, the fire was prevented from spreading. One factor which must be con- sidered is the probability that Ger- man night bombing will increase in accuracy as the night attacks con- tinue. Until this month the Ger- mans had done most of their bomb. ing in daylight. It is natural for the bombardiers to be inaccurate on their first night sorties. This accounts for the com- paratively light damage to military objectives, such as airports like Manston. One airfield, which Ber- lin reported was bombed. heavily, still is being used by a fighter squadron with little loss of effici- ency. FIRE LOSSES PUT TAX ON GANADIAN PURSE EACH YEAR Per Capita Loss Each Year Much Greater Than in Europe Brantford, August 28.--Fire losses throughout Canada in 1939 cost Canadians $24,600,000, and during the ten-year period from 1929 to 1939, approximately $311,600,000, A. Leslie Ham, manager of the Mont- real branch of the Canadian Under- writers' Association told fire chiefs of the Dominion at a banquet here tonight marking the termination of their annual convention, "Even in this day of large war contracts this is a sizable tax levied by fire on our pocket books," declar- ed Mr. Ham, "because $311,600,000 is a regrettable waste and would go far toward lessening our burden in the present war. The Dominion i3 doing its part in the defense of the Empire, because of what that Em- pire stands for. It will face un- flinchingly growing budgets, each doing his best according to his status and ability, to help the armed forces and the exchequer, but will they sometimes pause to regret these millions of dollars lost in fire waste?" Mr. Ham pointed out that the 10- year average per capita loss cost ending 1937 for Canada was 3.36 and for the United States 3.26. In Europe, however, an improved rate is keenly noticeable; figures for certain past periods show England's running at 71 cents, France 55 cents, Italy 28 cents, Germany 16 cents, Holland 11 cents and Austria seven cents. "In this respect the people of the Western Hemisphere might well contemplate this comparison," said Mr. Ham, "and profitably seek the cause or causes of our own deplor- able record." There are three chief causes for | fire losses, Mr. Ham told the con- vention. They are forethought, mis- chance and carelessness. "Carelessness is by far the worst offender," said Mr. Ham. "The care- less smoker, the ill-kept factory, or the unkempt basement may, in the wink of an eye, wipe out of existence | lives and property beyond the dreams of even a Nazi saboteur. The effect of measuring our short- comings is not a matter of confes- sion, it goes much deeper. By ap- preciating our loss we may be led to determine its cause, and by realiz- ing the cost in hard cash, we may br impelled to take steps to alleviate the condition. He pointed out that insurance companies do not absorb these losses. They are distributed among those who insure, who, in turn, re- coup their expenditure by adding these charges to the cost of produc- tion. Mr. Ham paid tribute to the ef- forts of the fire fighting organ- izations throughout Canada, point- ing out that the figures he had quoted, bad as they are, do not mean that the fault lies with the fire fighting forces, "In my work of collaborating with the fire departments in Canada I have found that our municipalities are well served by men: who take their work seriously," said Mr. Ham. "They are men who have studied new methods, and who, when called their lives to safeguard. life and property which has been jeopardized by the thoughtlessness of some individual. NAVY MAKES DARING DASH INTO BARDIA Cairo, Egypt, Aug. 28. -- British Naval forces, in a daring raid, have penetrated the harbor defenses of Bardia, Italy's big North African bese near the Egyptian frontier, and shelled troop concentrations at point blank range, a British naval com- munique revealed yesterday. British naval forces also bombard- ed the Italian seaplane base at Bomba, to the west. A naval communique issued early | yesterday said: "During the night of Aug. 23-24 our naval forces attacked the Italian harbor a.

Just a week before, British warships stood off Bardia and pump- ed 15-inch shells into the port for several hours, working ir so close that lighter guns yere able to join in the shelling. At the same time, the British warships shelled Fort Capuzzo, inland from Bardia, forc- ing the Italian garrison which had been besieged for several weeks to flee.

The AF. of L. unions will not march with the National unions and the latter organiaztions feel the same way about it. There is always a gap of at least a half mile between the sections. Last year the AF. of L. unions led the" parade. This year, it is the National unions' turn.
