Does,, the core of the apple appear on - the outside? Is the big end of the pear at the , stem? In other words, is the paradox now orth- odox and have we reached the stage where the more contradictory and absurd an argument appears _ the Arrester becomes its power of convic- tion and the more easily does it wend its way into the hearts and a finds of the people?

Not long ago the _British government de- cided to grant a subsidy for tramp steamers to the extent of £2,000,000. 'Mien the measure was brought down 1Mr. Rurciman defined it as a 'sub- sidy to be used "for defensive pur- po..wes." It was to be granted only on condition that the tramp shin own- sers formulated a scheme satisfactory to the government which would: '(1) 'Prevent, so far as possible, the subsidy from beirg dissipated by the domestic competition of British ships carrying tramp cargoes, and (2)„ Ersure that it is efficiently di- rectnd towards securing the greatest .employment of British tramp ship - riling at the expense of foreign sub- would keep out. manufactured goods sidized shipping. and thus compel increased production Note carefully these facts — the, at home.

In other words, the idea is to hurt those who are paying the nation's bills. In Great 'Britain they have a bonus at the present time for the produc- tion of sugar from beets. It's an ex- pensive and costly performance. In ing unction to my own soul because I refuse to accept these stupid de- lusions which feed and gorge the minds of so many, let me tell you one on myself. My back collar but- ton fell out of my shirt and rolled— not under the dresser, but under the 'bathtub. Under the bathtub in our house is harder to reach than the millenium. So 'I swore softly, for- got about it and put the collar on without it. And the collar never mis- sed the button—it sat there quite se- dately without the aid . of the cursed thing. Here I' have been going a- round with an extra collar button for 60 or 70 years more or less`, and yet had no real use for it. The Anglo Saxon race has been using back col- lar buttons since the days of Alfred the 'Great. They were never' needed. Someone has been taking "us for a ride. Try it—yoti will find that I am right. Is it surprising that we carry around all kinds of useless lumber when we have been taught to believe that we had to do it—and .we have been taught, politically, for ages that 2+2=4 7•a! * * * Then we have the very remarkable case of what might be defined as a split intelligence in our Minister of Trade and Commerce, 'Mr. Stevens. The policy of -the present govern- ment is a policy of high tariff pro- tection for the Dominion of Canada. That statement will , not be denied by c ren its mos ardent defenders. It started out with the idea `hat it tariff and the granting of an increas- ed tariff against competing comtrodi- t iee is the kerant of a right to charge a higher price for the Canadian pro- duct. To get this privilege Canadian manufacturers journey to Ottawa, lobby in their own cause and at times so it is said, make contributions to campaign funds. The.

The difference of course is to be arcade up from subsidies and it has cost the British . people, in the last few years, from thirty to forty mil- lion pounds to carry on this folly -which Sir Herbert Samuel defined at one time as ``a contest between the sun and the subsidies." In the end the sun will win. God only knows what the bills will be fore that hap- -pens! And now comes the supreme para- dox, having bonused the production -of sugar in Great Britain the govern- ment 'bonuses the tramp steamers to bring raw and refined sugar to Great. 13ritain in competition with their own bonused product. Was there ever anything more absurd? Perhaps not, if we accept our own bonus for the production of wheat followed by a decision to cut acreage.

Now when a tariff privilege which enables the recipient to charge more for the product which he produces than he could otherwise charge, has been received by a Canadian manu- facturer. it is a gift•to him from the people of Canada and he can do what he likes with it. Sometimes he continues to sell his product at a higher price and to pocket the added price. Or again. he may capitalize the gift which he has received, which entitles him to larger earnings than he could otherwise se- cure, and sell the capitalized value of the privilege to the people of the Do- minion of Canada and walk away with the swag. Tariff protection. therefore, is a special invitation to him to recapital- ize his company at a higher valuation than it had before. It is a definite and specific invitation to him to merge with other companies ane within the shelter of the tariff, to fleece the Canadian people_ (Where these tactics are worked once in non -protected industries they are worked a dozen times in the type or form of industry which benefits largely from the application of pro- tective tariffs. Mr. Bennett has 'been and now is the main defender of the policy of protection which 'permits this. ,Mr. Stevens has been the right hand man of Mr. Bennett in back- ing up the policy of high protection which enables the Canadian manu- facturer -to charge more, to recapital- ize his industry and exploit the in- vesting public. 1When Mr, Stevens finds out that this has been done and that the high- ly protected gentlemen are taeing ad- iantage of the condition he has cre- ated he makes a speech accusing them of doing what he has induced them to do and suggesting that their mor- als ought to have prevented them frond taking advantage of the gifts they have received at his hands. Then he secures the appointment oo a committee for the investigation of price spreads and publishes a :pamph- let about it (hater thorned by :,he cen- sor of his own party) in which ap- pears these sweet words: do not want to be mush about this thing but on Friday night I could not sleep and I got up after midnight and went down to my den and wrote that speech that I gave in Toronto, between then and 4 o'clock in the morning. Then I went to To- ronto and I delivered it." Paradox of Paradoxes! Miracle of miracles! !Here is a mann who has been a leader in the creation of the condition which he condemns. He has been what might be considered the causer of the cause, or at least he was behind the mean tvho crested per- fect conditions for the development of trusts, mergers and exploitations. Te and his associates have been the fundamental source and inspiration of the order which he has establish- ed. Then he gets up at midnight, un- able to sleep (no wonder!) and writes a speech in condemnation of it all, while he goes on, day after day, ac- cepting and supporting the doctrine which brought about and must con- tinue to bring about the things he has condemned. * * * Let me state an axiomatic truth. It matters net whether an industry is capitalized at a thousand shares or at a million shares. If it is 'open to the comtpetition of the 'markets of the world, unsheltered by a tariff, it can- not achieve for itself more. than nor- mal. profits on its year's transactions —it cannot exploit, over any long Period, the people of the land in which it . developed. If • it has a million shares it must divide its profits by a million and pay dividends according- ly and if it has a thousand shares it must divide by a thousand and pay scc•ordingly. But give to that indus- try a. tariff amounting to 50, 60, 75 or 100 tier cent. and it can recapital- ize at a higher figure, sell its stock to the public and charge the consum- ers enough to pay dividends upon the increased capitalization. Watered stock is not an injury in itself but only becomes an inpury where tariffs or some other special privilege give to industry the right to exploit the people. There has probably been more non- sense written about over -capitaliza- tion and watered stock than about anything else with the possible ex- ception of the balance of trade. but we will continue to accept paradoxes as orthodox until we have learned the first essential lesson of economics, a lesson mortised and tennoned in the eternal verities. It is simply this: "All economic problems must be looked at from the standpoint of the consumer for the interests of the con- sumer are the interests of the human race." It is because we ignore this axiem•- atic truth that we wander aimlessly in the ample fields of trial and er- ror. We are hunting all the time for sumptuary laws to control our living when all we need is the capacity to recognize a simple and obvious truth. 'If Mr. Stevens would attempt to understand this fact he might come forward as the flaming evangel of a new order instead of standing as he is now, attempting to condemn his own favorites for their extravagance and excesses, condemning them for do- ing the very things which his own ac- tion has more possible and inevitable. ?Mat >rlAPA tid Acid Indigestion. indicates too much acid in the Stomach....

Officer For Huron Under the Farmers' Creditors' Ar- rangement Act -Major E. A. Corbett of Fordwich has been- appointed offi- cial receiver for Huron County. This act, a Federal Act, framed principal- ly for the relief • of western farmers during the past few strenuous years, is now being adopted and used in On- tario, the object being to bring about some arrangement between ,farmers who are in financial difficulties and their creditors whereby they can con- tinue to carry on without having to sacrifice their farms. Any farmer wishing to consult-)ilajor Corbett and make use of the provisions of this act should write or phone him for an appointment and talk the matter over with him.. It`• •is said to have worked well in the west.

Shooting History (Condensed from The New Yorker in Reader's Digest.) About 18 hours after the first SOS from the burning Morro Castle, news, reel pictures of the disaster were. showing on Broadway and were mov- ing out by train, ship and plane to all parts of the world. Here's how one of the film companies, Fox Movietone News, did the job: The SOS was received at Coast Guard stations about 4.30 a.m. One of the Coast Guard officers earns a small retainer by tipping aMovietone off to important •ha'ppenings, and just after five o'clock he had the New York office on the wire. Within a few minutes everybody in the organ- ization was summoned instantly to work by telephone. Six field crows —each consisting of a cameraman, a sound man, and a contact man to make arrangements—were assembled and given these assignments: No. 1, to hire an airplane and shoot pictures from the air. No. 2, to get aboard the rescue ship, Monarch of Bermuda, interview sur- vivors and buy up any amateur film in sight. ,No. 3, to get to the vier and await the Andrea F. Luckenbach, which was bringing more survivors. Master Grant Chesney, grandson of Mr, and Mrs. James Howatt, fell and broke his arm at Seaforth the end of thef,.week. A little daughter has arrived to stay with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Doerr. Mrs. Wilmer Wilson has returned to Clinton. ,Mr. and Mrs. John Manning are celebrating the diamond anniversary of their wedding at the home of their daughter, Mrs. W. Marsh, Carlow, on Saturday. The Baptist Young People went to Carlow on Wednesday night and were entertained by Mr. and Mrs Earl McKnight. It took the form of a masquerade social. Mrs. A. W Sherman, 'Miss Vera Taylor, Billy Raithby and Billy Ferguson carried off the prizes. A number from the village motored to Blyth on Tuesday night to the M. and M. Convention held in Queen Street United Church. Visitors: Mr. F. Thompson and Mr P. IManning, Londesboro, with Mr. and Mrs. J.

The Baptist Ladies' Aid met at the home of ilVrjs. John McKnight on Thursday afternoon, with Mrs. C. A. Howson in charge. Mrs. L. Ferguson read the Scripture.

Nos. 4 and 5, to take shore scenes at strategic points on the Jersey coast. No. 6, to hire a tug and get as close to the burning ship as possible. the aviation man had the tough- est jab. With vicious rain and wind and a hundred -foot ceiling, •pilot after pilot whom he telephoned turned him down. He finally went to a lunch wagon at one of the flying fields and found four -pilots sitting there. He goaded them, calling them yellow co- wards, until one could stand it no longer and agreed to fly him. The ship had no instruments for fog fly- ing. 'Making Sandy Hook by dead reckoning and luck, they followed the breakers down the coast at an alti- tude of 25 feet. They got their pic- tures, but on the way home were forced down three times. By noon, however, they tore into the office with 500 feet of negative. The newsreel men who got aboard the Monarch got interviews with the surviving members of the Morro Cas- tle's crew before they were taken in tow by the Ward Line's lawyers. They also bought quantities cif ama- teur film shot by passengers on the Monarch. The outfit on the tug, af- ter shooting many close-ups of the burning vessel, went aboard the Luck- enbach and likewise got pictures and spoken Observations which turned out to be exceptionally valuable, for the photographers awaiting this ship at the pier were almost completely frus- trated: To prevent any interviews with surviving Morro Castle seamen, offieials built up blinds to mask the cameras from the gangplank, thought out ingenious tricks of lighting to im- pair the effectiveness of cameras, and manufactured a cacophony of sound to mask the true noises of the arriv- ing ship with its dazed passengers. iBy three o'elock in the afternoon, 5,000 feet of film were in New York. It was developed as it came in. When editors had cut it, the voice man spoke explanations of the various scenes, prints were made, and by 10.30 the completed extra was ready to be sent out. It contained sixty- eight' separate scenes covering virtu- ally every aspect of the disaster. About 100 ,men and women had work- ed steadily for 1,8 hours to put eight minutes of film on the screen. After I heard about this, I went to one oft the newsreel offices to 'see bow they make up their routine news- reel. 'In a darkened room, I found a half-dozen men staring at a movie screen on which a flock of outboard motorboats were droning like idiotic bugs. The race went on for nearly 10 minutes; then the lights came up, and one of the men spoke wearily to his assistant: "Oh, use about 50 feet of it." Fifty feet means a good deal less than a minute on the screen. I ask- ed, "Why did they shoot so much of that junk when they are going to use so little?" IHe said, "Hoping for a spill, some- thing spectacular." That's how most newsreels are made. The cameraman shoots everything. They shoot near- ly every moment of the big football games, hoping to catch the brilliant run. They shoot for hours at Com- munist den onstrations, hoping to get a few feet of a cop letting a Comniy have it on the head. The result, when edited; is ten minutes of world ev- ents. Fox Movietone News, the biggest of the five newsreel outfits in 'Ameri- ca, keeps 100 cameramen prowling up and deem the World, and every week these men shoot about 100,000 feet of 'film, the negative costingesi* cents a foot. Out of this enormous' quantity the editors prune 1000 feet, the length bf the reel you see. , Vir- tually irtually all their sound effects are made at the time the pictures are shot. When dubbing is necessary' it is not done synthetically. The sound is simtply taken from some other reel in the tMovietone library 'with equiva- lent noises. Speed, naturally, is everything. Hence editing goes on all the time, most of . it at night as the deliveries of film generally occur late in the af- ternoon. But little remains of the former fierce competition for scoops between rival organizations. It is difficult to make an exhibitor show an unscheduled film when it means the interruption of his regular and delicately timed program. Exclusive pictures are still highly prized — al- though they generally are obtained accidentally when luck puts a cam- eran'ian into the midst of some un- forseen even Rarely, too, an ama- teur camera n will be on the spot, and then his pictures become a prize to be won by the newsreel which has the quickest fferor the biggest purse. When the Vestris sank, a man shot 200 feet of the doleful sight with his 16 -mm. hand camera. Word reached New York from the rescue ship that the film was saved, and all the newsreel folk set out to get it. Fox won the race by sending a man far out to sea in a 'power boat. • The right of the newsreel men to cover all events as freely as the press covers them, with no exclusive priv- ileges to be bought, for money, was established in 1923 when the famous ZevePapyrus race was run at Bel- mont Park. Some days before the event, August Belmont called Tru- man Talley, head of Movietone, to his office. Pathe had offered $50,000 for exclusive rights to photograph the race. "I don't like to sell exclusive rights," Belmont said, "but the heavy cost of holding the race makes it necessary. Do you want to offer more than that?" Talley said, "How much is the New York Times paying to cover the race in their sport colurmtns ?" "Nothing," said Belmont. "Then," said Talley, "we don't care to make any offer." The Fox people saw what this leas letting them in for: a future crovided with wild (bidding among all the com- panies for exclusive rights to all sorts of affairs. So they set out to break up the practice before it could get started. They bought 40 hand camerae and taught everybody around the place how --to use them. They rented the old ice factory at the head of the Belmont track and secretly prepared it as a camera stand for equipment with telescopic lenses. In the trees at the lower end of the track they built camouflaged platforms by pho- tographers. They chartered two air- planes for shots from the sky.,They had their ace cameraman sworn in as a deputy sheriff and he went into the grounds carrying his hand camera under his coat. Other cameramen came in with the crowd, concealing their.- equipment. The Pathe people 'knew that efforts would be made to shoot the race, and they had taken precautions. When the Cry, Went up "They're off!" a hun- dred smoke gpota began to pour off black vapors all up and down the track; Reiiiecting mirrors directed their rays against the windows • in the ice factory and the nests in the trees, making it impossible for the Foix men in these places to photo- graph. *rt the men with the hand cameras got nearlf 5,000 feet of film which covered the horses' from start to finish. Since then, there has been n6 serious attempt to sell exclusive camera rights to any considgralble event, prizefights excepted. IOn the other hand, the newsreel people have to make certain conces-•i sions to the sporting entrepreneurs. They have, for example, signed agree- ments not to take slow-motion cam- eras into 'bhseiball parks. Two or three years ago, during a slow-mo- tion camera caught Jimmy -Dykes sliding into third base. The umtpire called him out, thereby changing the whole complexion of the game. Two Try KRIJSCHEN NQW!

Always there are those who have a melancholy pleasure in fault-finding. And so there are always those who look upon advertising as an econ- omic waste and a means by which the sale of inferior merchandise can be promoted.' It is quite possible to discover wrong things about advertising—just as it is possible to find wrong things about water and air, about books and speeches, about motor cars and aeroplanes, about schools and churches, about Canadians and Scotsmen, about knives and forks. Advertising is news and information, and who shall say that it is wrong to communicate news and information? It would be a pretty dull world, full of dull people, if there ceased to be a dis- seinination of news and information. In all ages and in all countries those giving out news and in- formation have attracted to themselves attentive audiences; and this is as true to -day as it was 1000, 2000, 3000 years ago. Wkiat stores are busiest? Is it not those stores which give out most information about what they have to sell? The public is daily spending money—probably $2 a day for every man, wo- man and child in the trading area covered by the circulation of our newspaper—or, say, $2000 for every 1000 persons. So you can calculate for yourself—you, a retailer, what is spent daily in our own community for food and shelter and clothing, and for all the other things. • THE HURON EXPOSITOR McLEAN BROS., Publishers.
