The Bye -Elections
The three bye -elections to fill the
vacant seats in the House of Com-
mons were held on Monday of this
• week, and there was just one sur-
prise result in the voting, the Gov-
errlrnent capturing the Western seat
of Brandon from the Conservatives
by a majority of close to one thou-
sand.
In the City of London, Hon. Dr.
Manion, Leader of the Conservatile
party, scored a win over his C C.F.
opponent by a comfortable majority
of over three thousand.
In. South Waterloo the Conserva-
tive candidate piled up an all-time
record of over four thousand of a
majority, his Liberal and C.C.F. op-
ponents both losing their deposits.
The Liberal gain in Brandon in-
creases the Government membership
in the House of Commons to 180, the
greatest number of seats any party
has held in the' House since Confed-
eration. °

The Ropal Winter Fair
For the seventeenth successive
year the Royal Winter Fair is again
in operation at Toronto. Ontario,
and particularly Toronto, does not
lack for noted exhibitions, but it is
questionable if there is an event of
the kind on the North American
Continent that is the equal of what
The Royal has become during the
seventeen years of its existence.
This year it gives every indication
of being greater than ever. Every
department shows an increase in en-
tries and its special attractions, al-
ready nationally and internationally
known features, -have been -increased
in number and excellence.
The Fair is more than a Fair. It
is a Iiberal education not only in the
agricultural and live stock industry,
but in the field of horticulture, manu-
facture and of the arts and sciences.
Consequently, it is one of the most
popular and most largely attended
functions in Ontario, and each year
draws more largely from the other
Provinces of Canada, from the .Unit-
ed States, and in recent years from
Great Britain.

e Champion of Minorities
A ery few weeks ago a Jewish
youth ° his teens, who has since
been prono need to be mentally un-
balanced, shot and killed a Nazi
diplomat in the City of Paris.
The youth was captured and, as
no one condones an act of murder,
no doubt would have paid the pen-
alty of . his foolish act. The French
courts of law would have seen to
that, if they have not ..already.
At least, that is the way we look
at these things in Canada, arrd the
way they are looked upon in quite a
few other civilized countries too.
But that.is not the way it happened
in Germany. •
As the result of the rash act of
that irresponsible boy, Berlin and
other centres in Germany witnessed
last week the most bloody, brutal
anti-Jewish riots that that or" any
other country has seen perpetrated
against any race of people, not ex-
cluding • the extermination of the
ruling and middle, classes in the Rus-
sian revolution.
These riots were.. explained by Dr.
•Gabbels,who is Herr Hitler's right
band Stan, as being "typical, spon-
taneous, popular demonstrations,"
which would imply that being . the
popular will of the .people, the Jews
.and its the German people,. must be
lid rt jk risible for them.
In 'accordance with this reasoning

Our boasted civilization may not
be all that is claimed for it, but there r `
are few countries, which do make a
chin of civilization, that would re-
cognize Justice under Nazi terms.
These things are particularly hard
to understand in the face of Mr. Hit-
ler's recent and loudly proclaimed
championship of ''oppressed minori-
ties in other countries so near to
Germany.
,•
Hard To Understand
It is rather hard for the ordinary
taxpayer to understand the attitude
or the reasoning of the single unem-
ployed men in Toronto who refuse
to work one day a week in return for
seven days' housing and food.
What theory or doctrine these un-
employed men hold, we do not know,
but we do know that it is one the
taxpayer neither understands nor
appreciates.
And .the taxpayer has abundant
reason for his lack of appreciation.
The unemployed seems to forget that "
however unfortunate his position
may be, with one day's work and sev-
en days' keep, he is in a much better
position 'than the average taxpayer.
As a matter of fact, the average
householder and business man is
having a pretty hard struggle to
keep his• head out of water, and it
has been that way for, quite some
time. He is working six or seven
days a week; cutting expenses to the
bone, and living on as meagre a diet
as most unemployed.
And the ordinary taxpayer has to
do these things in order to save en-
ough money to pay his taxes out of
which taxes comes the fund which ...-
provides for the unemployed.
The Ontario taxpayer is not by
any means heartless. He appreci-
ates his responsibilities to the unem-
ployed and- willingly or unwillingly
he fulfills them. At least he has up
to the present time, but we are a
little afraid that a few more straws
like refusing to work one day a week
for seven days' keep will prove to
be one that he will not submit to
have added to his already abundant
burden.
E
Monep Waiting To Be Used
No doubt in every country there
are large sums of money lying
dormant, which, if they were avail-
able for municipal and Government
uses, might prove most useful and
from the taxpayers' viewpoint, most
Providential.
That, at any rate, is the situation
in the United States, where it has
been discovered that a sum,estimat-
ed at three billions of dollars is tied
up in bequests, the terms of which
have become impossible to carry out.
Included in these bequests, there
are trust funds for the ransom 'of
American seamen from the Barbary
pirate's; for the maintenance of
horse watering troughs in large cit-
ies; for the aid of stranded emi-
grants on their way to take up lands
in the West; for the relief of super-
annuated wool carders, a race as ex-
tinct as the dadoes, and for many
other strange and lost causes. •
And the United States is begin-
ning to wonder what it can do about
this money. There are laws in many
States of the Union which provide
that dormant accounts in banks
where no trace of the owners have
been discovered after a term of
years, shall revert to the State: Why
not apply some similar method to
philanthropic legacies that have out-
, lived any possible usefulness?
And why not? Three billion dol-
lars is a sizeable sum at any time,
and when it is in actual cash waiting
to be put into circulation without
first collecting it from the taxpay-
ers, it is—well we know what some
Governments would call"it.
Even Mr. Roosevelt, who is used
to thinking in billions and spend-
ing them too—might welcome such
a windfall. As for Mr. King. Given
a gift of three billion's of dollars, ,
Mr. King could , just about settle
Canada's national debt; settle him-
self up in business for life, and set-
tle Mr. Hepburn too.
And Mr., Hepburn? Well, if On-
tario' estates would yield just a frac-
tion' of those billions, Ontario -would
be stepping out so high, wide and
handsome; that lir. Hepburn would .
not even •have time' to think of Mr.

"U N H APP I N.gSS"
I have a cousin who is about. as
happy looking as,an undertaker with
the itch at a funeral. He goes around
with a wreath of grief on his face all
the time, and the everlasting fear
that he's going to die. His conversa-
tion is made up of gruesome bits
about all the people who have died
.suddenly in the neighborhood dur-
ing the past fifty years. He takes a
morbid thrill out of discovering that
he has symptoms. of a dread disease.
I was talking to him today and it
made me remember 'when we were
at school together. At a very tender
age he started his career.., of trying
to corner all the money in the school.
He would do your homework for so
much . get you out of a jam for
so much . . . and although the cash
among the pupils in those days was
very small, he managed,.to get about

Then one.day at supper my mother
announced that cousin Albert had
started a hank account. Of course all
the eyes in the house were cast on
me . . . I was the black sheep be-
cause I never had the saving 'habit
I would never amount to any-
thing . . . I would never be any
more than a humble tiller of the soil
and cousin Albert would be a
great financier like J. P. Morgan.
Yes, that Was the beginning of Al-
bert's saving career. Bit it also start-
ed his worrying. The other ruffians
of my owe calibre took ,great pains
to inform him of all the banks that
were closing their doors, and he be-
came so panicky at one time that he
was about to withdrew all his money
from the bank and bury .it like pir-
ate gold.
While we idled along during sum-
mer vacations. Albert was working
out on neighboring farms. He was
a good worker too. but he never had
all the pleasures of lying on a river
bank fishing. and wondering if the
folks would find out that you sneak-

Agriculture Holds Ivey
To Unemployment Bogey
(By R. J. Deadhman, M.P.) •
Why are you idle? Why it it so
difficult to get a job? Ten years
ago in Canada unemployment was
minor incident of Our national econ-
omy. Why now does it occupy a ma-
jor place?
Three weeks ago in; Kentville, Nova
Scotia, I sat .down opposite Mr. Burns,
editor of the Enterprise, and asked
by way of introduction, this plain di-
rect question: "What is the greatest
problem of the Annapolis valley?" I
fully expected to hear of some diffi-
culty directly related to agriculture,
the growing of apples, markets, mar-
keting or ' some related difficulty.
Quick as a flash came the' answer:
"Youth growing up with nothing to
do." Three months ago I sat oppos-
ite, Howard Green;, M.P., at lunch in
the Terminal Club, Vancouver. To
him. I put the same problem. The an-
swer was double-barrelled: "Unem-
ployment and national, unity." In re-
ality it is ,one answer, the latter is
relater) to the former. 'Phe issue of
national ,unity would disappear if
theme was full employment: Men do
not quarrel if, under freedom, they.
know where they can get their bread
and butter.
Always the Same Question!
Across all. this country which lies
between, 1 have posed the same ques-
tion;. I ask It+egaim—I put it to you
because you are , interested directly,
positively. You afire either unemploy-
ed, or through your taxes paying for
the maintenance of the unemployed.
Don't you feel that you ought to do
some thinking about it? Lt's. your
job. Wisat do you say? I will play
fair with you. There is a perfectly
good answer available to my persist-
ent questioning. You. may say: "Af-
ter your name a.t the (head of this
article appears, the Tetters M.P. and
that means member of pariiament.
Why donit you think about it yourself,
why doesn't parliament present a
remedy?" Again the answer to that
Is that there are questions so big
thmit the answer will never some

Changes, 1928-1938
But a fragmentary contribution is
worth what it is worth — nothing
bore. If it stimulates thought, it has
a value—not otherwise. Ten years
7928-19$8. Why the difference be-
tween these two periods? Relatively
small unemployment in 1928—much
now. I must as far as possible avoid
figures. They give a chance for lazy
people to exclaim: "I never can un-
derstand figures—and besides I have
heard that figures lie, and I abhor
lies!" There will be few figures in
this story. It will be as simple as
two poached eggs on toast, or are
oblser cup of tea.
Farmer and Unemployment
Roughly, half ,the people of Canada
live on farms, or are directly depend-
ent on those who do.
In 1928 you could exchange any
farm product, wheat, chickens, eggs,
milk, a steer, or 'any other thing
grown or produced on a farm for a
sufficient volume of the things tilts
fanner. needs, to maintain a decent
standard of living on the farm.
Now watch thda sentence. The price
of the things the farmer s•o4d fell so
low that he was compelled to limit
his purchases bo the absolute essen-
tials of life. 'So the sales of the
manufacturer, the wholesaler, the
merchant fell off and there was un-
emaployment. There was unemlploy-
meet because the farmer could not
buy. Isn't that 'simple? There is not
a figure in it except a date. I mar-
vel aft the simplicity of the statement
—hand me the accolade! And yet I
do not know ihow to solve problem of
unemployment without in some way
restoring farm purchasing power. Do
you? Are you interested? If you are
not- then stop right here—you have
read too far If you think that you
are not lrrtterested in unemployment.
But you are paying fbr it neverthe-
lese!
