Canadian business should be so conducted that the products of the Maritimes can find a ready market in British Columbia, and vice versa. It will take some working out, but it can be done. The finding of the decomposed remains of the infant son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind- bergh, has unearthed one of the most revolting crimes in the world’s history. The old-time tor- ture chambers fade into insignificance when compared with the diabolical slaying of an in- fant slightly more than a year old in a spirit of revenge. Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh are re- ceiving the sympathy of the whole world in their trouble. ' Baby Lindbergh’s death, however, may be a good thing in the end if the resolutions of President Hoover and the law enforcement offi- cers are carried out. Twenty-eight thousand men of the nation’s police force have been de- tailed to run down the murderers, with instruc- tions to spare no cost, and to continue until the culprits are apprehended. Canada extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, and if she is to prosper as a na- tion, the logical direction for our interprovincial trade is east and west. It can be done if we only think so. It is true there are some who say the geographical situation of the two countries demands a north and south movement of com- merce, but so long as we remain as at present this phase cannot be considered. We are looking forward next winter to heating our premises with Maritime coal, which should and can be sold as cheaply in Ontario as any similar product from the United States. The only unknown quantity so far as On- tario is concerned is the quality of the coal, the price, and the ability of the Maritimes to furnish a continuous supply. made goods it of the country. a good many thousands of dollars in circula- tion in Canada instead of sending it to the States, will furnish employment for Canadian coal miners, who in turn will purchase Ontario use soft coal, the majority of which has up to now come from the States. If a market can be created for the Maritime coal, this should keep We have our own Opinions on the case, but as they are merely our own, and formed with- out any accurate knowledge or inside informa- tion, we shall not express them. We feel, how- ever, that when the mystery is cleared up, there will be certain information divulged that will more than ever shock society. We can see no reason why Ontario can- not use Maritime soft coal. In Ontario a good many people exclusive of manufacturing plants, PAGE 4 CAPE BRETON COAL It should be gratifying to many to know that they will shortly have the opportunity of buying Canadian coal to supplant that secured in former years from the United States. This has been made possible by the recent action of the Dominion Government in their subvention of one dollar a ton on lake steamer transporta- tion as far west as Toronto. From here it will be distributed to outlying Ontario points. There is a difference of opinion on the dis- appearance of Baby Lindbergh. Some say it is the work of gangsters, others that it is a mat- ter of revenge. Whatever it is, it was a well- planned crime, and with over two months gone by the threads will be that much harder to pick up. If it is the work of gangsters, then the United States oflicials, providing they catch them, have the opportunity of their lives to mete out punishment that will check the spirit of lawlessness too rampant in that country. If it is the work of gangsters, then it is a battle between the underworld and decent society, and decent society will have to submit to in- decent methods to corral the perpetrators, se- cure their conviction and hand out the proper punishment. It is not a case that can be hand- led by grafting law enforcement oflicials, a bought-o! judiciary, and a law prosecution that is W with by the politicians. We hope the perpetrators are caught. We hope they get their just dues.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE THE LINDBERGH CASE Thursday, May 19, in preference to those made out There is a vast difference between the man who objects to war and he who tcravenly boasts that, right or wrong, he will not lift his hand to defend his native land against an unscrupulous invader. These fellows fail to realize that if the great majority of our citizenry were of their ilk we should have no law. Policemen do not patrol their beats with the idea of causing trouble. They are there to secure peace for the majority, but, if the occasion arises, are pre- pared to do battle to preserve law and order. Just what is a pacifist; anyway? The dic- tionary defines him as one opposed to militar- istic ideals. So far, there is nothing to which very much exception could be taken. No per- son wants war. There are hundreds of thou- sands of people who would oppose war with all their might. They are pacifists, but not the same type of citizen who boasts of his pacifistic ideals. These latter object even to take up arms for their country against any kind of military aggression whatever, and it must be admitted that citizens of this kind are not a very valuable asset. What would some of these so-called paci- fists think of a police force that failed to arrest a thug or a murderer for no better reason than they were conscientious objectors and did not believe in fighting? National affairs are the same, only bigger. The peace of the world must be maintained and the only way to do this is to be prepared to administer law and order, peaceably if possible; by force if necessary. An editorial in yesterday’s Toronto Mail and Empire says that pacifists are not welcom- ed as American citizens. A judge last year is- sued naturalization papers to a native-born Norwegian, who has since turned out a pacifist, and the decision of the judge is being appealed. Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Ag- riculture, gave some good advice at a meeting of the Westmount Conservatives in York town- ship Tuesday night. Mr. Kennedy, in referring to the coming election in West York, when the polling will be on the 28th inst., stated that the by-election is merely a contest between the pol- icies of Hon. George S. Henry and Mitchell F. Hepburn, or, to be more correct, the parties they represent. It is not an election between the Conservatives and the Liberal candidate, for the reason that they represent these par- ties; rather it is an election in which the poli- cies of Ontario’s two great parties are placed before the people. Hon. Mr. Kennedy's plea to “choose between policies, not merely candi- dates,” is the right one. This brings up the question of what should be regarded as “independence" in politics. In- dependence most certainly does not mean jump- ing around from one party to anther. A man may be independent in his politics and still be a strong party man. He believes in party govern- ment, but he also believes in voting for the par- ty which presents the platform nearest to his own individual needs, or which he is convinced is for the greatest benefit to the country as a whole. If the better element of the country rise in their might and demand a wholesale clean- up, then the death of Baby Lindbergh will not have been in vain. The Lindbergh crime has stirred the Unit- ed States as nothing has done for a long time before, but as we have said previously in these columns, crime in the United States is to a great extent due to a lax enforcement of the laws of the country, in which the better class of society have become disgusted or take in- sufficient interest, allowing the underworld and the unscrupulous politicians to run things in pretty much their own way. ' CANADA AND COMMUNISM A 19-year-old youth, styling himself a Com- munist, is being sought by the Provincial Po- lice for complicity in the recent forest fires at Rouyn and Noranda, Quebec. He has admitted igniting? no fewer than ten fires, in the vicinity of Rouyn. He may, and he may not be guilty, but his braggadocio is likely to get him into trouble when the police find him. or appeals made times without number, until finally the interest is lost and the murderers go‘ free. Down at Halifax a number of these Com- munists, or Reds, are facing deportation, and it beats us the sympathy these fellows seem to create among people who are generally speak- ing as far removed from this “ism”. as the poles. We honestly believe the slogan, “British Fair Play," and “Freedom of Speech” is worked to death in this country, and we cannot under- stand how' native-born Canadians sympathize withthiaelmofpoople,whocometoCanada f1'0“!forelxnmrtlofthecloboandfifomthe moment they at foot on oar chore: We police run their quarry to earth, there is the danger the public of the United States will have forgotten its horror, the trial postponed THE WEST YORK ELECTION THE PACIFIST THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Some of our readers have been correcting the editorial geography. We had James Atkin- sn living in Egremont last week in reporting the all-afternoon hunt after his three-year-old daughter, lost in the swamp. It was Glenelg, not Egremont township. We knew this very well, had we thought, but after a late session and writing the article after midnight, we were tired enough to have told anyone that Durham was in Bruce county. King George recently bought a new fire engine, of which he was very proud. It was called out to a fire in a haystack on the King’s estate, but the motor failed and the haystack was burned. We cite this to soften the criti- cism of local citizens should it happen at any time the plans of the fire brigade go awry. Mis- fortunes will arise in the best regulated famil- ies, municipalities, or kingdoms. Mrs. E. D. Smith, wife of Senator Smith of Winona, and the first president of the Ston- ey Creek Women’s Institute, died Sunday night at the age of 70 years. The Stoney Creek branch was the first of its kind in the world, gradually spread through Ontario, then Canada, the North American continent, and is today a world-wide organization. The Women’s Insti- tute will perpetuate the name of Mrs. Smith through all time. So far as a good many branch lines are concerned, the week-end special fares ofl‘ered by the railways, mean nothing. There is no night train service. One solution for Durham would be to have the section men run the “jig: ger” in from Palmerston or Saugeen Junction. A Jewish butcher in Toronto, under in- vestigation for having sold “stale” meat to Gen- tiles, he claimed it was not stale in the Gen- tile conception, but was to the Jews, who de- mand their meat freSh. There might be a lot of argument here. Gentiles usually do not care for meat too fresh, and at one time we knew of what was called “fresh” meat to have been in cold storage for six months. To a Jew it would be ruined; to a Gentile it was “just right.” Those misleading newspaper headings! An exchange printed a photo of a burned French liner over the heading: “Hundreds Missing Af- ter Liner Burns,” and followed with the story that only one hundred were missing. A metro- politan daily, played up the arrest of a self- confessed “kidnapper” of the Lindbergh baby, in a three-column scare head only to tell its readers in the news write-up that the .man was a “nut” and the police did not believe his story. Anything for a sensation nowadays seems the order. R. O. Sweezey swears that the story that Hon. G. H. Ferguson, while premier of Ontario, “Held up” the Beauharnois Power Corporation for $325,000 was “falsehood, malicious and in- tentional falsehood.” Former Premier Ferguson denies it, R. O. Sweezey, former President of Beauharnois, denies it. The only ones who still believe the charge to be true seem to be those who know nothing about it, or who, for some reason or other, do not want to believe the truth. fomenting trouble.

It is not enough that a person exercise good judgment in the driving of a car, but it is imperative that they be strictly sober. The law provides that a person who is intoxicated or under the influ- ence of liquor must go to jail if caught, with the sentence ranging from one week to one month for the first of- fence. Magistrates have been urged in other years to be severe in their pun- ishment of drunken drivers, and while some have adopted such a policy oth- ers have not, the minimum penalty be- ing imposed more often than the med- ium or maximum. It is serious business to drive a motor car while under the influence of liquor. If the maximum penalty were to be imposed more fre- quently it might have the desired ef- fect of curbing the practice, with the result that the danger to the public would be lessened and lives saved.

Wheth- er many of the city young people have returned to their farm homes is not certain, but in some places, a large number of unemployed young ‘people from the cities have returned to their former homes in the small towns. This is a great thing for the population fl- gures of the little places, but it isn’t so easy for the old folks, when Dad still has his job and has to start in again and support his sons and daugh- ters who scorned such jobs as the smaller towns provided in the prosper- ous time. When daughter comes back accompanied by a husband out of work and a growing family, it doesn’t always brighten up the old home. The suggestion by the Chesley form- er’s wife reminds us of an incident of our college days. A friend took a. tea.- cher's course and then got a job as a teacher on the Toronto stair.
