THE MUNITIONS MENACE (Continued from Page 1) by important factories in the 'same nations who are trying to stop it. General Confederation of French Labour and noted for his moder- ation said, while discussing the question of armaments, 'Today, the unrestricted production of armaments everywhere, not only represents a danger to peace it- self but also--which adds great- ly to the seriousness and anxiety of the times--a danger to the free functioning of democracy. During the world conflict of 1914, many commercial deals had the effect of prolonging the war considerably, and so need- lessly wasting "the lives of our men. Certain munitions inter- ests in France had contracted with the (erman Krupp mun- itions, when war was imminent between these countries. to keep a supply of ferro-silicium, for war purposes at the gates of the factory to be at the immediate disposal of Germany if a war were to break out, which it did. They also prevented the French agents from consigning this supply to Russia, thus depriving the Allies of war supplies which they might have needed. Mr. Nitti has proof that, after the war, the irreparable mistakes made in the peace treaties, and which now menace the peace of Europe, and constitute the truc obstacle to peace were commit- ted under pressure from thé iron industry allied with the muni- tions industry. At cvery inter- national conference, side by side with the miiltary elements sit experts who are merely direct- ors or agents of the iron and munitions industries and thus through their work, keep alive the spark of discontent which makes lasting peace an impossi- bility. : 'What happens during times of peace? Do these armaments manufacturers lose power ancl dwindle into obscurity? The answer is no! Nearly all re- actionary nationalist and fascist movements are subsidized by these industries, in facet, any- thing that may lead to war and a market for munitions. In thie, not a. country is exhempt from responsibility. Another and most effective means of preventing depression in the arms trade is the hold they have upon the press. Half the newspaners ar: subsidized by them, 1m fact, many are fully controlled by these agitators. It is the duty of these papers to maintain pub- lic anxiety and unrest and what is=more efficient in this than the press? Newspapers play a great part in concealing this true state of affairs and -mislead public opinion to create an anxious state of mind. Frequently press campaigns against foreigners are launched for the sole purpose of building one's own country. The most efficient means of promoting armaments is to create a panic. |; : have a chance to stride the path 'of progress' that leads from this Thus, if an armament campaign is desired in' France, discongert- ng rumours are spread in Ger- RR with the result that, in both countries orders are placed with the armaments companies for . more munitions. This was the case just before ..the War when the "authentic" report M. Jouhau, head of the] up armaments withinj OXDRIFT NEWS A very beautiful and impres- sive service was conducted at | Oxdrift last Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Avison assisting the resident "Minister in the se¢rvice. After a very searching message on the 'Power of the Cross,' Mr. Avison read the ritual for the ordination of Elders. Mr. Russell Pollard and Mr. Harold Latimer were set apart to this office and received presentation copies of "The Common Order' of the United Church from the Rev. J. W. Howes. Six young people were receiv- ed into Church membership. Messrs. Gerry Amos, Harvey James, William Miles, Kenneth Browning, Misses Edna Neely and Inga Haukeness. Communion was celebrated and "with that deep hush sub- duing all,"" each felt another milestone had been reached in the History of the Oxdrift Church, : Mr. Avison preached in Dry- den and assisted in Communion Service. The Church is deeply grateful for his visit. J.W.H. UNITED CHURCH NEWS A Lenten Preaching Mission. Each night from Monday to Friday in Holy Week, April 10 to 14, the Minister will conduct an evening worship service at 7 o'clock p.m. The services will be held in the Church and messages on the following topics will be deliver- ed: Monday--*'Lent and Love." Tusilng "The Final Stand- ard of Judgment." Wednesday -- 'The Economy and Hxtra of Love." Thursday-- 'The Traitor-- Modern Traitors."' Friday-- 'In This Sign Con- quer." On Good Friday night, Com: munion will be administered to the Communicants, who will also be received into full membership of the Church. You are cordially invited to all these meetings. John W. Howes. was printed in Germany that it had been discovered that Erench machine guns were vastly super- ior than those of: Germany. This threw a panic into the German government 'who immediately proceeded to arm more thorough- ly. The report was false but it resulted in a boom for the munitions companies in Germany who had originated the rumour. |= How, you will ask, are we to put a stop to this distressing state of affairs? How are we to stop the munitions magnates from using human lives--our lives, as pawns in the game of international chess? The answer lies with "the people; hitherto, this has been kept a secret and newspapers and the munitions interests are still striving to keep it dark. It is the duty of everyone to spread this news and let it reach every portion of the globe. Not until the people rouse themselves from the apathy of ignorance and agitate for in: ternational control; not until the government takes the manufac- ture of munitions out of the 1ands of individuals will we melting-pot of barbarism and ignorance in which we live to- day. That must be the watch- word of every citizen, to force the governments to nationalize munitions and their sources of supply. J. V. Rigbey.

(Continued from Page 1) substantiating his charges, which were to the effect that Mr. Murphy had been paid hy cer- tain interests to introduce a Bill in the House to abolish the Op- tometry Act passed last year. On Wednesday, in reply to questions, Mr. Ross, Progressive, N. Oxford, was informed 'that expenditure paid outside of Ontario for the Department of Colonization and Immigrants was $00,412.24 in year ending 1932 and that no imigrants were brought in. This is a decrease in cost from 1930 as in that year it cost $86,308.48 and 341 people were brought in in that year. The wage Bill for the Depart- ment in the last year was $28,- 775.00. Dr. Simpson, Centre Simcoe, was told that the Agri- cultural Development Board had made no foreclosures 'but that 154 properties had been taken! over during the past two fiscal years as a result of either sale proceedings or quit claim deeds. Mr. McKay was told that the cost of the residence and Ad- ministration Buildings at O.A.C. Guelph was $975,097.53. Mur. Finlayson moved his resolution with respect to the $3,000,000 of the Northern Development De- partment and spoke at some length deseribing operations in Northern Ontario. One of his references was 'I do not say that some money has not heen mis-applied but of the $60,000,- APRIL 7th, 1933 _ 000 spent in Northern Develop- ment no one has suggested that |S any of it was improperly spent." He stated that 35,000 men had been in Trans-Canada camps and not a single crime had been committed. He stated that there were 12,000 men in camps at the present who were getting $10 a month and were doing more work than those who were getting a regular wage a year ago. He hoped to keep the work going this summer and to open the road between Pembroke and North Bay. He also hoped that $2,000,000 would be suf- {ficient to carry out the work this year as only maintenance work is to be carried on on Northern Highways. The motion was adopted by the Legislature and will be in- corporated and brought down in Bill No. 102. Eleven Bills were given second reading. The Pro- vincial Secretary presented re- ports of the Inspector of Legal Labor, also the operations under Northern "Development Act for the preceeding year. On Thursday, March 23, Mr. Price presented the 6th report of the standing committee on Private Bills which included five Bills, three of them with certain amendments Two Bills received second reading and six Bills were considered in committee of the whole House. Mr. Challies presented the Public Accounts of the Province and Mr. Henry then presented the budget. in his speech.

You must pay what it is really worth or something is wrong. Some sacrifice has been made in quality and you'll be displeased. It isn't reasonable to suppose that today you ean buy a pair of stockings for half the price you paid in 1929--- for manufacturing costs haven't shrunk that much. Manufacturing costs, along with salaries, materials, and the cost of living are about 20% lower. So stock- ing prices should be proportionately lower--but not 50%. Pay a little more, for good TY what a. difference it makes. J. B.
