This humanitarian point of view is in keep, ing with modern ideas of cap.ialism and finds acceptance with progressive employers. While disapproving of the temporary closing of Dominion Textile Company's Sherbrooke rayon mill, the incident that was the immediate cause of the textile inquiry, the Commissioner does not find that the company disregarded its wider responsibilities. On the contrary, he says: "That a company in the position of Dominion Textiile Co. is bound to some degree of responsibility seems to have been recognized by Mr. Gordon (the managing director), who tells us that one of the reasons which prompted him to reopen the Sherbroke mill was the necessity of providing means of work for destitute employees. The same :e of responsibility is to be found in the action of the company before the mill was reopened in guaranteeing the grocer accounts of these destitute persons. "These acts cannot be qualified as mere acts of charity which might be extended to anybody. Their character is determined by the fact that they were extended only to employees between whom and the company relationship of employers to employees existed. Dealing further with industrial relations, Mr. Justice Turgeon expresses the view that employees should have the right of collective bargaining and he notes that since the commission concluded its sittings, two of the laTger companies, Dominion Textile Co. and Courtaulds (Canada) Ltd. .have concluded collective agreements with their employees. Before these agreements -were miade, Dominion Textile' Co. had restored their wage rates to pre^lepression levels and -in 1937 had granted bonuses of five per cent and three per cent respectively «n wages in the first and second quarters of the year.. The report recognizes some of the recent pressing problems of.the textile industry. These include the growing importance of Japan and India as cotton-manufacturing countries; rapid development of cotton manufacturing in "newly industrializing" areas, notably China, Latin America and the Balkan countries; the shift of production from regions of higher labor cost to regions of lower labo^-cost in such important producing countries as India and the United States; and the general disequilibrium caused by present world conditions. Tariff protection of the industry is given credit for preventing prices of textile products from declining by from 40 to 50 per cent between 1929 and 1932 in contrast to the price decline of from 25 to 30 per cent that actually occurred. It is pointed out that by the 1936 budget, the Canada-United' Kingdom, trade agreement of 1937 and the Unied States trade agreement, the effective protection of the industry has now been substantially reduced. The rates undeT the general tariff now apply to very few countries. 'Summarizing the value of the inquiry, the report says: "The great value of the inquiry lies not in this report (which must necessarily be summary and which probably will be found chiefly valuable as a sort of index and guide to the great, volume of material produced) but in this material itself. The function of the inquiry was to secure in- Expert Plastering and Repairs Plain or Ornamental Work ALSO CEMENT WORK Estimates Furnished Work Guaranteed A.

As a means of enforcing recognition of responsibility to the community on the part of industry, Mr. Justice Turgeon suggests that provision be made by statute whereby a company might be deprived of tariff protection if it were found to have acted in a manner detrimental to the interests of the community. "I do not think," he says, "it is possible to fix in advance a general measure of responsibility which would be applicable to all employers at all times."

During the past year over three score of them donated 40,000 hours of work to the task of giving sick and injured (children the very best chance for the recovery of health and happiness. Crippled? Deformed? Hurt in an accident? Suffering from Disease? Just "yes" to any of these questions has always opened the doors of this institution to children in need of hospital care. No distinction has ever been made in respect to race, creed or circumstances. The Provincial and Municipal Governments each contribute a fixed amount per day for those who cannot pay. But these grants do not contemplate the cost of medicines, operating rooms, oxygen, X-rays, plaster casts, anaesthetics, special diets and extra nursing--and they do not provide for the cost of many, many other necessary items. Each year we depend on public subscriptions to •over these extra costs. Won't you help this very worthy cause? Please send your gift direct to 67 College Street, Toronto. We employ no canvassers.
