him to try his fortune, and said something like this-: “Mother and

THE WORLD ON THE MEND
By Sir Robert Borden
Thoughts on the Occasion of His Eighty-first Birthday
No one can deny that confused and very difficult conditions
confront the rtations today, but even at my advanced age I am stil-1
a confirmed optimist, and I not on,ly- trust but believe that all will
yet be well with the world. This is' quite consistent with my belief
-that certain anomalies in our social order ought to be and will be
corrected.
'The enditions today call (for active participation in public af
fairs by the best elements of cur- people. This is a principle that
I have maintained throughout my public career, and thirty years ago
I declared I would rather see a young man actively engaged in op
position to my party than remain inactive as a drone without in
terest in the public affairs of our country.

ETHIOPIA’S CRY FOR PEACE
By Emperor Haile Selassie
In an Interview Given to a French Correspondent at Addis Ababa
Ethiopia wants peace. She needs it for completion of the work
'of modernization which has been going on far several years and
which a war would destroy. We want to spread education through
out the whole empire, to build roads ,for commerce and to- develop
that commerce so as to give work to- the liberated slaves, whose
interests are our own.
We are building radio stations so that Ethiopia can participate
in the intellectual life of the rest of the world.
Aay threat of war -from Italy would interfere with this work,
on which we wish to spend -ot»r whole time and energy. Ethiopia
wants to go freely and pacifically forward on her way of progress.
, Our reorganization of the army with the help of a Belgian mis
sion has given rise to a broad misinterpretation. What We need an
army far is to keep order in the country and secondly to de
fend ourselves if we are attacked,
********
THE REGINA MESS
We call the trouble that has,recently broken out in our Western
provinces by this ill name. The whole situation Cries to heaven
with ugjy features.
To begin With, those -red and communistic agitators should
have been dealt With long ago. They have been perfectly well
known, yet they have been allowed to carry on their miserable work
of corrupting Canadian youth who found themselves in a tight
Corner. At the age when youth is most suggestible these paid
enemies of everything foir which- Canada stands, were allowed, un-
interupted, to sow the seeds of civil War. If the governments of
this Dominion and its provinces were not aware of what these
public enemies were doing, they were too* grossly ignorant to
occupy the high positions entrusted to them.
If the governments were informed of the sedition that was
spreading and played the game Of politics' therewith, Canada stands
shamed before the world. If one political party stood back girding
at the other saying “you first" only to sneer and bedevil the whole
situation should a mistake be mnde, the voters of this country are
under the obligation to do some serious thinking, For, in the end,
it is the people of Canada who -have brought about this situation
so fraught with evil that a century of good citizenship cannot cure
the 111 that has been wrought during the last decade.
Nor is the church blameless. Her place was where those youth
were being misled. She has her trained ministry who can or who
should be able to meet the agitator argument for argument- Her
leaders, if worth their salt, might have shown -Canadian youth a far
better way than that Of blood effusion. The Canadian church and
the Canadian governments, pursuing theiry policy of drift f-oir the
last ten years, make a sorry- spectacle before the judgment seat of
civilization.

“YOUTH TO BE SERVED”
Such is the title of an editorial in The New York Times
This editorial reminds its readers that 2,000,000 United .States
youths have just been added to the ranks of the United States unem
ployed. It then tells of the spending >of a few tens of millions of
dollars by the U.S., government to feed these youths, or to keep
them for further terms in the high schools o-r universities of the
republic.
Let it be known that the youth in the High School or the Uni
versity who is waiting there till something turns up in his favor
is likejy to be a nuisance in the school or the university. The fact
that he knows that he is where he is to keep him marking time, that
he knows that he is living on the bounty of the nation and that the
nation will continue to keep him somewhere eating food and wear
ing clothes that he does not earn cannot but rob him- of his ambition
and weaken his morale. Further, his lack of ambition and his dis
sipated incentive cannot but spread like an infection to h-is fellow
students.
So much for the student and those whom he cannot but affect
adversely. Next, what of the uniyersity, either United States or
Canadian, th-at turns out youth that cannot find its way about that
does not fend -foir itself generally? The sooner such an institution
is closed the better. High Schools and universities were founded
and have been maintained to stabilize the commonwealth and to
produce men and women who will stabilize and enlighten rather
than to produce human hardens who must be carried by the patient
taxpayer.
In the next place, we see no occasion foir the government’s talc
ing upon itself to find jobs for its citizens. That is not the, function
of government. Government does very well when it sees to it that
-men wino work shall be protected in their lawful occupations. When
it goes beyond this point it invites all manner of trouble, because
thereby it take work out of the hands of the individual who is
trying to make his way by running on his own Initiative. Further,
the practice of making it a part of the government policy bo- find
jobs for private citizens opens the door to the worst forms of polit
ical trickery and knavery generally, as some are finding out. This
policy of paternalism has bought Canada to the brink of civil war.
DETROIT LAD DROWNS
AT GRAND BEND
Suffered From Shock and Drowns in
Shallow Water,
Running into the ooid wafer of
Lake Huron opposite the Grand
Bend Casino late Friday afternoon
while overheated, was blamed for
the drowning of ten-year-old Edward

a few minutes when his body was
found at the bottom of the lake by
a relative, E. J. McLaughlin, of Chi
cago who followed him into the
water, where they had gone for an
afternoon’s outing.

after the child.
Before there was any concern for
the boy’s safety, Mr. McLaughlin
waded .out into three feet of water
and there saw the boy’s body. It was
obr-ught ashore and hurried calls for
aid brought the doctors who failed
to find any spark of life after two
hours’ effort.
The body was taken to the George

The funeral was in Detroit.
The drowning was the first as the
