Ted Ll THE DRYDEN OBSERVER - WHATS DOING IN TORONTO! (Continued from Page 1) Hepburn, and the which is" now being carried on' by that Leader throughout the Province. It is very cvident from his remarks that the Gov- ernment "plan to accuse every ore who criticizes in any way the Hydro Commission of being: unfriendly to public ownership A 3 3 : 3 " and by aiding U.S. power terests in their propaganda against Ontario Hydro. There was considerable cross fire in the Legislature and especially 50 during the time when the Premier attempted to have esc Opposition member state where he stood in respect to Hydro and the Leadership of the Liber- al Party. Mr. C. A. Robertson of North Huron followed the Premier and condemned the Government for its late financing at the rate of 6% pointing to the fact that wages and ineome having been lowered, it seemed strange that the wages of capi- tal should be raised. He blamed the Government for increasing taxation, and, while preaching economy up to the time of the South Wellington by-election in which the Government lost a scat, creasing amount of money. Mr. Strickland of Peterborough ad-! journed the debate. Friday there was a short session during which two Gov- ernment Bills received second reading. On Monday, February 22nd, second reading was given to the Apprenticeship Act, an Act to amend the Public Ser- _vice Act. Both of these Bills reduce the committees which nave been in charge of the Ad- ministration; the first from a Committee of 10 to 3, the second from a Committee of 7 to 3. The House was in Committee of the whole to consider: Bill No. 77 to amend the Minimum Wage Act, Bill No. 80--To Amend the De- partment of Labour Aect, Bill No. 82--An Act respecting Op-| 79-1 To Amend the Old Age Pensions erating Engineers, Bill No. Act. There was considerable opposition to the changes in the Apprenticeship Act, but it has Leen referred to Committee of the whole House. Notices were served that the standing come mittees of Agriculture, Coloniza- tion, Fish and Game and mis- cellaneous Private Bills would meet for organization on Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday I' espectively. Tuesday the 23rd will see the resumption of the debate on the Speech from th Throne. The reason most people quiet- in had been spending an in-.

Was Wilson humbugging when he said something about this, words that rung the changes on all of us? Certainly not, he was a man of ideals, he mean't it then, and many of like ilk mean it now. But no orator, statesma n, premier or president, can suc- denly mould the mass. The mass is sodden, slothful and ia- different: Helpless in its own plight, reconciled weally to its own fate. We are the mass and in us there is no true democracy. We. talk it, we hope for it, hut ars we sincerely democrats? As a positive summary to all been said, the writer believes that the selfish desire for wealth, inmate in all of us, or nearly all of us is the main cause of depression. Some i brighter, brainier, stronger than the rest of us, make greater ad- : vantage of this doers than the rest of us, hence, class and! noney distinctions, enforced, espeeding up, vivid competition, heedlessness of human suffering. In our past writing, we very | liberally took cognizance of four methods to end depression, these methods were practical and sen- timental, because we had io make allowance for the senti- ment and religion of some read- ers. We would not offend them. But the mass of mankind docs not want thrift, christianity or internationalism, it wants creat- ure comfort in a practical way. Well, alright, put this in your minds! Let us go back to evidences of human history, and say that 6,000 years is the limit of our knowledge.
