Though business right now, may b© just a bit slack, The days of good business are sure to come back! But whining and growling at things that are wrong, And ^spreading dark rumours-, won’t help things along. It’s no time for quitters, whose courage is slightj But action is- needed—and . fight­ ers who’ll' fight. And those who are twiddling their thumbs while they wait For times to get better-i-will lose —sure as Fate! According to authorities quoted by Senator Borah, one of the very strongest personalities in the United States, the present de­ gression has cost the United States in excess of $15'0,000,000,000. He estimates the depression has, cost the United States farmer in excess of $<30,000,000,000*. “World trade fell, in 193*0, $11,-500, 000,00'0. From January 1929 to January 1932, world trade fell TO per cent. These be big sums,'my masters. Little wonder that the British Empire has all along'been doing her sturdy utmost, ✓irrespective of party or color or nationality, to rid the world of this creeping paralysis. Owen D. Y'oung has this to say of the present finances of.the world: L *' ' “No upward trend can take-place unless all go up. No per- ' -•ihanency of any trend can be guaranteed unless we have sound and fair -balance between all the units, in our economic body.” The financial game cannot long b£ played “heads I win, tails you lose” The dishonest man 'or the selfish business man is a public enemy. Orchardists tell, us unhesitatingly that the packer who “stove- piped” his apple barrels and who insisted upon packing inferior fruit, ‘drove nails into the coffin of the apple trade, thereby keep­ ing millions of dollars out of the pockets of the farmers of this corin try. . \ , , ENCOURAGING ? SCARCELY The New York Times has this to say of business conditions in the United States: • “Production and consumption' of goods continue very low: perhaps they were last month at the’lowest since the prolonged re­ action of trade began. Distribution of merchandise to consumers- as shown by the Weekly loading of railway freight, has been run­ ning barely one-third of what it whs even a year ago. A series of company reports show earnings that fail to cover expenses and fixed charges," and sometimes do not meet even operating expenses. Whatever cheerfulness has come into the financial mind was not derived from tangible, industrial recovery. ******** A REAL FRIEND GONE Times-Advocate sincerely sympathizes with the Times- of St. Thomas, in the death of its editor, Mr. Maclver. • the privilege of .calling upon Mr. Maclver during his lasr * The Journal We had . . . _ . _ . __ stay in the Memorial Hospital in the city he served to the best of his fine abilities. We asked if there was anything we- could -do for him. “No, thank you,” was the quiet reply, “My wants are ‘few.’ • Yes, his wants were tew but his services were great. ' Scholar and critic and powerful writer that he Was, lie thought but little of his own-wants, he was among us as one who served. His thoughts were for his fellows, for the folk not only of the city of his adoption but for the race. Never did he withhold his counsel from a young writer making his way. Always did he do his best to help the worker. Canadian journalism is the poorer because this writer has laid down his pen an'd this kind friend has joined the ranks of the ever-present though of the unseen.’ ’• • • • •• • A prominent Cana'dian who spends a good deal of his time in London England, was surprised to see on the shelves of a leading London grocer a brand of canned peaches put up by a firm outside the jurisdiction of the British flag. So Indignant was he at the slight given the canned peaches of his native province that he en­ tered the store of the firm that a© believed to .be acting on an un­ British principle and made inquiries regarding the practice. “I’ll show you!” was the reply, “Please come into my office!” The merchant forthwith openea a can of the peaches manufactured Under the Union Jack only to reveal fruit that whs badly cut up into small pieces and covered with a “syrup that was decidedly cloudy. Next a can- of foreign prepared peaches was opened. The fruit fri this can showed peaches that had beeu cut in halves and Covered with a syrup that was clear. Th^- canned peaches _.<>f British country suffered obviously by comparison. “Do you won­ der that ehr customers prefer the foreign brand and that we stock our'-slielves therewith?” whs the comment of the Brtish merchant. The Canadian had no reply. This incident is worth reflecting upon. If its lesson is well learned and acted upon, it will mean millions of dollars for the pockets of the Canadian fruit growers, . * Here is another incident worth thinking about. An . apple grader was busy about his work, doing a. real job Of grading, when a government inspector noted his work. “You ard grading too severely!” commented the inspector. “You are- not allowing the farmers enough high grade fruit!*’ The result? The grader heeded the inspector and the com­ pany for whom the grader worked had the utmost difficulty in getting past with its offering of apples to their own and the farm­ er’s loss. Again the lesson is . clear, the farmer who does not grade his produce severely soon will find that the consuming public will do the grading for, him. Unless Canadian producers meet the ever- rising demand for quality, they’ll be driven from, the idarket. In­ spectors of one sort and another who fall in their responsibility simply must be retired. Indeed no inspector should be on his Job unless Ito is sufficiently. bonded to protect the producer against less. c- * f On Verge ef a Nervous Breakdown Shortness of Breath and Dizzy Spells Mrs. Arthur - M» Byrne, South Woodslee, Ont, writes:—•<<I was troubled with Shortness of breath mid dizzy .‘spells* My physician told me I was on the Verge, of a nervous breakdown.
