HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THIS If anything is to be done about anything it always is up to someone to do something. We have heard no end of talk about what the "guvvermint” should 'be doing. Still others have told about the value of "A live Chamber of Commerce.” Still others have sung the praises of ‘Service Clubs. Others have told us what "the church ought to be doing.” Well that is not the way at all. Of course we humans are social creatures but the fact remains that if anything is to be done some one person has to get busy and busy about his own business whether he likes his business. or not. Every so often we hear about great crowds applauding some person. Hitler and lifting their hands in salute, many a very little way. been doing this and that, of the St. Marys Journal-Argus, condensing what Herbert says in McLeans, gives us in a recent issue: "Today business conditions are better in Britain than country in the world. More new factories were 'built than country. 463 new factories were established last year, 95 old con- cernes were established. The most efficient automobile factory in the world, according to Mr. Casson, is Sir Hubert Austin’s. It em­ ploys 16,000 people. Since 1926 it has increased its output 500 per cent, and its wages 145} per cent. It has lowered its. prices by sixty-five per cent. It has received no state help of any kind. England has captured the clock-making business from Germany according to Mr. Casson. One company in England, founded only three, years ago, is making clocks at the rate Of 500,000 a year. Most"of them ate electric clocks. English toys are being sold in Berlin and even in Nuremberg, the centre of German toy industry. England has 'built over two million houses since the war. At present they are going ,up at the rate of a thousand houses a clay, Only fifteen per cent, are being built with tax-payers’ money. Half the people in Britain are now living in their own homes.

A. McEwen, Brucefield; treasurer, Charles Fritz, Zurich. Mr. McEwen and Mr. Fritz have served the South Huron figures is the decline of 54 millions from the 1930 total of exports to Britain, said Mr. Golding. Censures Wheat Market Operations Mr. Golding censured the opera­ tions of Mr. Bennett’s agent in the Winnipeg wheat market. These had enabled the price of wheat in Can­ ada to be kept above the world lev­ el. But the result is -that the miller in Canada buys wheat above the world price and cannot compete in export markets. (Worse than that flour is actually being imported from Great Britain -to -Canada be­ cause the British miller can buy wheat at the world level while the Canadian miller must -pay an arti­ ficially high price. In the end the result will be disastrous for the wheat .farmer and miller both, said Mr. Golding. Mr. Sanderson said that the trans­ ference of two Perth townships to the Huron riding was a sample of stacking the bards and loading the dice for political advantage. Referring to the Ontario general election, Mr. Sanderson said that the Henry Government in its pre-elec­ tion works program had made a brazen effort to open corruption of the electorate. But -public sentiment was aroused and p-acr-a » wiped out the Tory party provincially. Says Bennett Facing Defeat "I don’t expect a- general election this year but when it does come the defeat of Bennett will >be on a par with that received by Henry only it will cover nine provinces instead of , one,” he said. The Liberal party will have noth­ ing to do with any National Gov­ ernment, said Mr. Sanderson. "I don’t think the Tories will ever be able again to get the Liberals in­ to the trap of union or national government. History repeats itself. When the Tories get in trouble they expect the Liberals to throw a life­ line to keep them from sinking. There is no danger this time that the Liberals will do it. The people will choose Mr. King as their prem­ ier again.” Speaks on 'Organization Mr. Fraser’s speech was prefac­ ed with a few remarks on organiza­ tion. "The Liberal party is not a free trade party. We believe in reason- The Liberal party in Canada stands for responsible government and foi’ the supremacy of parliament, said Mr. Fhaser in condemning the blank check legislation of the Bennett ad­ ministration. “We believe that parliament should ■control the expenditures of your money. There is only one place the government gets money. It comes from the pockets of the producers, not from the -parasites, not from the 25 or 30 who control our financial life. We stand for the responsibility of parliament and for the right cf the taxpayers’s money,” he declared. Blank Cheque Abuses The abuse of the blank cheque legislation is shown in Mr. Bennett’s action in guaranteeing a sixty-mil- lion dollar loan to the £3. P. R. said Mr. Fraser. The guarantee wasn’t necessary as the C. P. R. could have deposited collateral for the loan but the people's credit was -pledged to enable the railway to get lower in­ terest rates on the money. Prediction On Conservative Party Mr. Fraser predicted that the Con­ servative appeal in the general elec­ tion will be on four principles. (1) The extension of the -Stevens price­ spreads investigation (2) The Bank of Canada (3) The result of the Im­ perial trade treaties (4) The Natural Products Marketing Act. A political hypocrite was what Mr. Fraser called Mr. Stevens, Time after time he was voted for legisla­ tion which produces the very evils he now says he wants to correct. The government through the tariff has a club to use on manufacturers who exploit the -people, said Mr. Fraser. Trade Pacts The trade pacts Imperial Economic present the most disastrous phase of Bennett policies for Canada, said Mr. Fraser. The Natural Products Marketing Act is socialism with a vengeance, said Mr. Fraser. It means state control of nearly fifty per cent, of Canada’s trade. For the govern­ ment to seek to control prices is to invite disaster. This is proved by the Bennett operations in the wheat market which have ruined an export -business in wheat. Policies of Liberalism Concluding Mr. Fraser -declared that the Liberal party can be ex­ pected to enunciate policies Iot -the benefit of all. Apart from the gen­ eral policy of removing trade bar­ riers, two of the most important measures will be: (1) The setting up of a National Economic Council to control incor- porateds and expansion of business not to control or to own, or to so­ cialize business but to regulate its development so that it shall be con­ sistent with the national growth. (2) The erection of a National Finance Council for the rehabilita­ tion of the whole financial structure The wages of money must be kept level with the wages of labor and 'the price of farm commodities. The monoply of finance must be broken. There is little hope for the people in the present set-up of the Bank 'of Canada, said Mr. Fraser. He won­ dered if the banks yielded their gold ! to the government at a loss of $15i an ounce without some sort of an understanding. "The new bank has Sir Herbert Holt’s right hand man as governor. Can Mr. Bennett hoodwink the people in allying himself with the greatest financier and manipulator in the country?” asked Mr. Fraser. said Mr. Fraser.

Would Have Helped Partners Mr. Golding said that the success of Premier Hepburn in Ontario in getting lower interest rates on gov­ ernment borrowings had unlouhted- ly influenced Mr. Bennett in his conversion loan effort.

Traffic was divert- ■ ed while the test was in progress. With the introduction of the new larger and deeper wells, which can be used either singly or together, one acting as an auxiliary to the other, fire protection has been great­ ly improved in Goderich, as has the supply and quality of drinking wat­ er, which has been very poor of re­ cent years.
