Britain's Business Advancement

.\tltlressing the annual meeting of the Bank of Montreal recently, the Presitlcilt, Sir Charles (iortlon. gave an interesting analysis of the busi- nt- pickup ill tllc Linited Kingdom based oil iirst-haild knowledge and observation.

Business in Great Britain, Sir Charles says, inidoubtetllv is in a healthy condition, with greater industrial activity and more people en- gaged in gainful ticcllpatioils than at any time lll ltn history. lt 1111111111 be a nlistake to ziscribc this wholly to the rcarnlanient 1irogrziillnle. Un- doubtedly that is a contributory factor, but the real basis of the revival is to be found elsewhere. Priintirilii Hil- rc-wiz-lil flt‘_(](lll it'll/i Illr.‘ adoption [11- 1hr: Nat/until (im-rrrilnlt-nl of a tariff I/lllf r/lirv- lruxonalilr- prom-lion to indul-trivs and 11111110 i! f-orsible for 111cm to rout/trio in Hit‘ domestic nun-feet zt-ith flm products of the l-Iirn/i labour of fol-vigil lands, rollers Inger-r standards of Ii-u- iiir/ fire-mil. By securing t0 (lOHlCSIlC industries the home market, the foundation was laid for larger unit production at lower costs in spite of advaucitig pflCeﬁ for raw materials and labo1ir— an advantage in both the home and foreign mar- kets. Then the Government, by balancing its budget and by stabilizing the pound sterling in all countries with which Great Britain docs busi- ness, created a condition which has brought about a notable expansion in export trade. Also, Great Britain has established an efficient and scientific sy-stem for dealing with ilnemploy-mei-lt and has not been content with pilttillg a measure for un- etilploy-iileilt relief on the statute books and let- ting it go at that. Then of no less importance is the policy of the British CiOVETHIllEHt not to hedge private enterprise around with repressive conditions but to encourage it in every way pos- sible. They have gone on the principle that the more motley private enterprises make the larger are the contributions of commercial and indus- trial organizations alid of their shareholders to the national treasury in the way of income taxes. In this connection may be mentioned the many thousands of companies operating not only in Great Britain but in all parts of the world. which, being domiciled in London, contribute to the lili- pel-ial Exchequer. These factors have made it possible for the Cbznlcr-llor to balance the bud- get with ease as 11-011 as to ]ll'O\'l(lC this year's quota for the rearmamcilt programme.

Discussing conditions iii Canada, Sir Charles says that while tlic year has been one of great improvement, there are two factors which still drain much too large a proportion of our na- tional income into unproductive channels. The first is the most uneconomic situation which ex- ists in regard to olir railways and the second is the heavy‘ and overlapping taxation which bur- dens every form of lmsiilt-ss enterprisi- and which as zipplieil to individuals nit-ans that fcw peoplc have any surplus funds to invest iii 111-11‘ enterprises.

“Tiler-e can be no stronger bond of mutual re- gard and understanding than that of labors shar- erl-of constructive work iloiii- together." In these words the Marquis of Linlithgoiv, Viceroy- of lndia, a short time ago expressed his confid- ence in the newly established system of respon- sible government in the eleven provinces of Rri- tish India. He saw in the silccess of the first few months of “this great experiment" a basis for hope that the Federation of ludia. provided for in the same Constitution Act which set up the new provincial governments, may also come into being. Last week in Calcutta there was a dramatic illustration of the value of era-operation between the Viceroy and Mr. Gandhi. who still remains the most influential Indian Nationalist leader. As a result of the latteﬁs appeal to Lord Linlithgow and later to Sir john Anderson, Gov- ernor of Bombay, 11,000 political prisoners iverc released and the case of 45o who remain in cus- tody are to he considered in the near future. Thus a serious deadlock over the amt-nay ilnle was avoided.

a n1 v 1v The much abused Bennett Wheat Hoard is not to he scrapped after all. Indeed, itis to b1- kcpt active because of the Governments fear of a new wheat crisis in Europe and here. Ritssizi is growing more wheat than ever and looking for export markets. ivliile Germany, France and ltaly are growing enough for, at least, their own re- quirements. Where then can Canada look for a n-larket for lit-r large surpluses? ln previous years when the \Vhcat Hoard in the llenncft re- gime was functioning the Goveri-uicnt for the Board would in the fall fix a 1131171111 pricc and say that if tho market price dropped below that figure the growers would have the opportunity- of selling to the Board if they chose. When the Liberals came into office, though, the policy was somewhat altered. The new \Vhcat Board, under l\lr. James blurray, in the fall of I035. hail a price nominally fixed, hilt the growers iverr- virtually told tlic mark-ct would be such that those who had grain to sell would probably do better by selling it direct than through the Board. This is really what developed.

Here ls a nlce little problem to be ponuered in odd moments: How do Marlene Dietrich and Stan Laurel manage to arouse such divergent emotions in the breasts of motion picture fans when their facial ex- pressions are ldentical? When Miss Dietrich watches a lover shoot hlm- self or a husband stride forth with his travelling bag and a broken heart, lier face assumes exactly the same immobile vacuity with which Mr. Laurel watches Ollver Hardy full into a cement. mixer. Yet, in the one case the playhouse rocks with laughter, while 1n the other there ls no sound except the heaving or chests and the sound of strong men breathing through their teeth.

Railroad passenger traﬂlc has been coming back ln the 19st few years. Part of this ls due to lower fares and part of it. 1.0 the new equipment and faster schedules which the railroads have been ad- opting. But. a good share must. be auributcd to the fact. that travel by train is by far the safest form of travel in existence. As a sample, consider this fact: During the ﬁrst: six months, not one passeng- er in Canada or the United States lost his life in a train accident. Im- pressive as that record ls, it be-

comes even more so when you real- ize that the ratroads carried more than 250 million imsserlgers in that time. Neither 8.21‘ traffic nor auto trafftc can present. comparable ﬁg- ures. Such a safety record speaks volumes for the efficiency of modern railroad operation and ls an excel- leni; indication that. the railroads wlll continue to be our greatest mass transportation agencyr- Winnipeg Tribune.

It lc more than a little di- ti-issing that; United States lmml- gi-atlon Commssloner James L.

While ft, ts entirely posatble that. native born girls are reaentlful of this competltlon, 1t oel-tafnly la not the fault. of the girls from Can- ada. A few years ago Amerlcan gfrls dul not. want. to tlhmilﬂh the hard work and actual drudgery at. small or no pay, to learn nursing. Tlicy pmferred soft; offlce 10b6, and the like. As a result, our hospitals ln Boston and hospitals ln other big cttiea sought. the services of hard-working Canadian glrla. They came here fn a steady stream over a long period. And no one can any that they were not. eﬂlctont. But when hard times came and nurses‘ jobs were hard to get, a different aspect of the situation arose. Whfle olli- immigration laws as rcspectfng "visitors" permits must be enforced, lt. ls not. agreeable to see a move

against a class of persona upon which we haveso loll: depended.-

To them the ec- onomic freedom of the farmer, the Drlme mover in the economic pro- cess, was something without which W11 progress could not be made

"VICTORY" VS. “ENDORSE- MENI?”

Bin-It is rather a pit-y. B1- though natural, that the Liberal boaster cannot discern hhe differ- ence between a constituency "wln". by a minority vote, and “endorse- ment" of a policy by a. majority of we whole.

I-t cites Conservatives, as peat. winners, clalmilng an electlon 1n triangle contests, by mrnorlty vote o1’ the whole, to be u party victory. Of’ course, and none would object to the Patriot, counting the Victoria. lesult as a party gain.

But when it, stupidly claims that, n vote o! 9,000 for, and 14,- 000 against, is an "endorsement."

JUST FACTS.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Sirr-‘Ilils question Ls becoming more and more a serious live ls- sue, 11nd a growing public menace. Delinquency 1s hardly the word to ilse, which means "neglect or fall- ure" merely. It ls rather cult!- vnted lawlewness or Inherited

criminality. And those underworld creations thrive and multiply un- der encouragement of laws and law enforcements.

Why is it that in England the crime ratio, both juvenile and adult. 1s the lowest of English- speaklng countries? It ls in the fact that when the youth, or man, transgressets he has to pay the Penalty. and would-be criminals ln thousands of instances stand aloof from crlme to avoid an inevitable retribution. They have one Crfppen ln a decade wlth their immense population, while Canada can hand out, one a month, and the United States more than doubles our out- put.

I-n England, under limitations, ‘the citizen 1s allowed to protect his propery with counter violence. In the communism of Canada the major protection ls for the law- breaker. 13f I place an electric wtre oontrivance to catch a thlef in the act, with even a moderate shock. I come under penalty of the Criminal Code. If the boy crlmlnakln the process of his edu- cation, stretches a wire across the public highway for some aged or inﬁrm human to trlp and smash his brains out on the concrete sidewalk, he 1s only a boy (ln the training). Hand hlm under warn- ing back to his parents to be fur- ther mollycoddled and instructed in rufﬂanlsrn.

Should I sllp, by accident, and break a window ln my fall, I 11m summoned and compelled to pay. The boy however has almost cnrte blanche to hurl his mlssles at any and every window fn sight, and owners have to pay the costs wfth- out chcnco of recompense. Hall the boy, or his tutor parents be-

A temperance reformer once pro- clnlzned the obvious truth that the man “who never took his ﬁrst glass" in no case ever became a drunken-l. And so ln criminality. The ﬁrst offense ls the most ser- lous one. The weed is easier klll- ed in its seedlfng state than when deep rooted. A boy, encouraged ln his ﬁrst escapade, makes good in his subsequent ones. The sharp lush of punishment of wrong in the embryo, saves a lifetime of criminal pursuit, an example and deterrent to other would-be offen- ders. and an effective reducer of crime.

Forty years 1130.111 four cases out of flve. a boy's offence, report- ed to parents. would result ln a sharp application of the birch. I recall once a lad put on bread and water for a fortnight for a most trivial fault. That lad beclmin I
