Gordon The Border Cities Star recently had the following to say about Hon. W hearti know A. Gordon, which will be y concurred in by all who him: "Hon. Wesley Gordon, Minister of Immigration and Mines in the Bennett Cabinet, has been taking well in Ottawa ever since he came lown from the North country nearly a year ago. The better they got to know him and his works the higher he rose in the regard of his chief and Cabin- et coleagues, and the others who have had to do with him found him measuring up to his job and more The Beauharnois inquiry com- mittee, of which he is chairman, has afforded a better opportunity to observe him in action, and the umination only enhances closer ex the general estimation of his cap- abilities. There is nothing devel- oping in the committee, no sig- nificance or shade of meaning that he does not grasp. It is ev- ident that he will get out of the inquiry just about all there is to be got." The Proposed New Ontario Council The proposal emanating a few weeks ago from Sault Ste Marie, and endorsed by the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, that a "General Council of New Ontario" be formed in order to co-operate all sections of the country north of the French Riv- er in an attempt to solve their several problems, looks alright on paper. As it is outlined in letters from J. W. Curran, who was ap- pointed to send out invitations and arrange for a general meet- ing in August, the proposal reads well, but whether it is practical or not remains to be seen. We have carefully read all the available information so far, have had a short talk with one of the sponsors of the movement, Mr, J. A. McPhail, also of Sault Ste Marie, and have watched the pro- gress of a convention of northern municipalities last have rather grave benefits to be derived from such an organization It was made plain at the highway convention in North Bay on July 8th just how much chance this section of| the North has in any argument with the people from the Soo, when the question goes to a vote. Sheer weight of numbers would eliminate the Temiskaming and Cochrane districts from any hope any controversial point in a general council suchas is proposed In the literature sent out it is of carrying stated that "The three largest cities in the North have under- taken the project". That's just the point. When the three larg- est cities in the North come to a convention which was to consist of three representatives from each municipality, one of them with 23 delegates, what can the more sparsely settled districts hope to gain? Does it not look more like something originated chiefly for the benefit of the "Three largest cities in the North?" We may be too critical too suspicious, but they did not do much last week at North Bay to inspire confidence in their al- truistic motives in regard to the general welfare of New Ontario.

NEWTON-WHITE A Northerner, back from a visit to Ottawa, and from experiencing a glimpse of the func- tioning of government and the framing of our laws, might well wonder, as does this writer, whether Temiskaming, and North-Country people generally, fully realize just what man- ner of man they chose to represent them in the Federal Parliament We can afford to lay politics and political opinions aside and con sider him. But a few months ago, Mr. W. A. Gordon was one of our local business men, to whom we went with our law troubles, large and small, and received at times some human advice that was not necessarily in the statutes. Today, the Honorable W. A. Gordon, K.C., Minister of Immigration and Colonization, Minister of Mines, Representative of the Ministry of La- bor in the House of Commons, for a time Acting Minister of Justice, and now, in addi- |tion the Chairman of the Beauharnois Com- mission, is in Ottawa, unique in Canadian political history, and with perhaps few para- Hels anywhere That this is no exaggeration, a review of the situation will prove With no previous parliamentary experience, Federal or Provin- | cial, Honorable Wesley Gordon has been given |so many high duties of State that his task has become a tremendous one One has only to consider the importance of the issues of Immigration, of Colonization, of Soldier Settlement, of Mining, of Labor and Unemployment, in the present Canadian situa- tion, to realize the job which is Mr. Gordon's. and so the man himself. At the time of the election last August he was unknown to Ot- tawa and the nation; today he holds the afore- mentioned positions in a Cabinet in which eight or ten men have had long years of par- liamentary experience It could be elaborated upon. The Ministry of Justice is third in importance in the Dom- | inion Government, yet Mr. Gordon was Acting | Minister for a period within a few weeks of his first election. The Beauharnois Commis- |sion is one of the most important commissions jever appointed in Canada, yet Mr. Gordon is its Chairman. We are inclined to think that because Immigration has been halted, there can be little to do in this direction. Yet even here the fact is that the work and problems of exclusion are far and away greater than un restricted entry But, whatever our perception, down in Ot- tawa there is full realization of the man we | have given them, this among both friends and opponents, not to speak of the administratives of the Departments under his charge. To his Government he is a real "discovery". Parlia- mentary experience in years he lacks, but no work yet offered him has presented the slight- est difficulty. He is popular among his col- leagues, his staffs, and on the other side of the House. He holds himself, in spite of his manifold duties, continually at the disposal of the private members of both sides who may wish to discuss some issue with him The Honorable Gideon Robertson, Minister of La- bor. having. as a Senator, no seat in the House, is represented there by Mr. Gordon, who ans- wers all the questions, and transacts the busi- ness,pertaining to that Ministry. No light task at the present juncture Parliamentary experience, indeed, must be coming thick and fast The Immigration portfolio, for instance, naturally attracts more criticism than most Criticism comes from letting people in, and for keeping them out; for deporting them, and for not deporting them; and so on. One feature common to migrafion, colonization and settlement issues may, when stated, convey much to the dis- cerning, and that is the extent to which the human element enters Those who know the week, and we|Minister will have no difficulty in supplying doubts of the |the reason for his success And herein is another angle from which to view the man who was one of our ordinary Northern citizens a short while ago. It has been the custom for Ministers in his position to go to confer with other big people vital matters discussed invitation they have come to him! Perhaps enough has been said to indicate the possibilities ahead of W. A. Gordon. He is still a young man in the middle forties in spite of the twenty-three years spent among us in his law business at Haileybury. In Ot when were to be At his This experienced Chef recommends it..

Physically strong as he is, however, he will have to watch his health, The -work invol- ved in the activities indicated is tremendous. Let us here say a word in the political re- lation. Party politics demand that continual attack be directed against the side in power, and as a result there are people who honestly come to believe that the policies of that party are deliberately designed to wreck the country. Actually the party system is only a manifesta- tion that there are two sides to every question. Our public men, of any political conviction, despite attacks which would make it appear otherwise, are working solely toward the good of the State, but from different angles. Witness, for instance, the halting of immi- gration, and the recent inception of the "'back- to-the-land" movement; and about the latter we are liable to hear and see much in the near future. Politics apart, could better remedial and constructive policies be conceived to meet the present need? I had the privilege of reading the original copy of the Honorable W. A. Gordon's letter to the Canadian Provincial Premiers, dated February 14th, 1931, in which he reviewed the immigration and colonization situation and the policy of his Government. I had the further privilege of reading the originals of the replies of the Premiers to this letter, and they make a file of real historical value. The unanimity of concurrence and agreement ex- pressed in these letters from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, is nothing short of remarkable. We are here, however, not discussing poli- cies but one of our local men. What consti- tutes a great man may be a large question, but | here is one definition in the form of a state- ment of fact: You can go to Ottawa and there meet one of the busiest and most prominent men in Canada; a man with the weight of several dis- tinct administrations. complicated by the times, on his shoulders A man in constant associa-'!
