SPEECH FROM THE TIIIIONI-I.

HE mtnts, federal and provincial through the

respective re-

ilis Majesty. have this year resolved themselves 1M0 words. Under

Conservative rllle. the opening par-

liamentary speech gave at least

some illdicatioll of a ccrtaill amount of tiirt-ctlon in tile legislat- ive sessioil. Yesterdays speech gave precious little such indication. ‘The. need of educating our boys and girls; was adnlitted alld “we arc all deep-j

for the ostensible purpose of bring- ing in immigrants who do not come, someone rises to suggest that better results could be obtained by making an effort to briilg ‘back otlr own Call- adians froln the United States or wherever they nlay be. And thc suggestion is usually followed by or sustained \vitll a eulogy on the superiority of Canadians as compar- ed with immigrants from anywhere. The suggestion would be a good one if it were reasonably feasible. All that is said of the superiority ol‘ Canadians as citizens of their owil1 country is. ill thclmaiu. corrcct.

Just what starts the heart beat--

the normal seasonal increase occur- red in January this year. Partly. no doubt. owing to thc mild and opcil winter weather, but largely because of the great volume of construction contracts in process of completion. employment in building construc- tion remained at a high level.

“As between ‘the different pro- vinces. it may be said broadly. that in Eastern and Central ‘Canada there has been less than the nor- mal amount of wi ter unemploy- ment. whereas tn the West. condi- tions have not been so satisfactory. The Banks Index of Employment in the Maritime Provinces shows a further improvement. The upward movement which began in Novembel last has been maintained. Further gains are recorded in Quebec, where there has also been a notable provement since November. In Orl- tario. when allowance is made for seasonal conditions. there is no change.

"The Prairie Provinces. on the other hand. have been less fortun- ate. Even when the normal sea- sonal reduction in working force is allowed for. it is evident thatthere nu been a. sharp recession. The situation in British Columbiashows no material change. blut is not quite so good as at the New Year. Immi- gration continues at a little less than the normal figure."

Quebec's Ls only an experiment. It will be watched with interest by other provinces. especially those which have lands to offer at reas- onable rates. The country or the province or section of a province which is making a bid for immi- grants must have something to of- fer the immigrants when they come. Neither words nor Government om- cials. however eloquently said or generously remunerated can bring immigrants unless there is tangible assurance of a good living. and the better. thc living prospects the more immigrants will come. even of their

significant evidences, t

There are that the America of huge factories and at‘ mass production is beginning to harness the attractive force of good design ill team with the trac- tlvc uowcr of her machinery. We in: beginning to impose conditions ‘cu tllc machinery which crowded ‘out the handicrafts and llolne ln- (iustries in the name of efficiency; we ask that things be made pleas- ing to the eye and to the touch as well as tiheap and useful. This is a notable advance from our Puritan heritage of suspicion towards beauty. ‘and from tllc cra of lttilitarianLs-lll ;which submerged us ill a-flood of lilass production \vitll sole regard to utility.

The elements nlaking for this change are based in lllnnail nature itself. fur lllf‘ normal person is keen- ly sensitive to his surroundings and likes to sec and handle things that please hilll. Btlt. unfortunately. this sensitivity is often unconscious or ullexpressctl. Hence the lnantl- facturcl" has been going unrestrain- cdly on his way. producing things that are. in fornl or color. an affront to nlan and God. Herein has lain the tragedy of American supremacy ill mass production. for so lmlch of the bad could just as easily have been good. ~

Some say that the credit for this

awakening of dormant artistic traits goes to advertising lnen, as the first business group to appreciate the attractive force land cash value! in the artisticappeai. The infill- encc of pleasing advertisements has led to great improvements in thc appearance of package and contain- cls. In some cases. the autonlobilc. for example, this influence has ‘reached the design of even the pru- fduct itself. l Others advance a strong claim for 1leadersllip on behalf of the museums cf art. Progressive museums iii re- "cent years have been serving 1COlll- lllcrcc to an extent unrealized by the public.‘ Special exhibits of in- dustrial art are ‘a feature of this service. The Metropolitan Museum ofAl-t. for instance. held its tenth exhibit of this nature last wiinter. and is now prcpariilg a successor for a growing public. The emphasis is upon adaptation rather than slavish imitation. of classic designs to llicct modern conditions.

There is still another factor of leadership in bringing art. into ev- rrji-day activities of life. As yct it. is lllCl‘(.' significant ill the promise than in tllc performance. although a noteworthy step has already been taken and will be followed up this winter. I refer to tllc influence which the dcpartnlent stores and lctail shops exert ill cncotiraging bt-tttil‘ design ill the lllallifold ar- ticles of‘ trade.

It was all appreciation of this fact. that led tile Metropolitan Mll- setinl of Art to show its active good will when thc department store of R. II. Macy 8t Co. ilndcrtook last spring to ilold all Art-in-Tradtl Ex- position as a (lelnonstration of the

ciusiveness. The human hand can- not repeat exactly, the machine callnot deviate. A craftsmans mas- terpiece of design may be fed to a 1 machine and the output will re-y lnain constant through a myriad ofi operations. This may cheapen the product froln tile viewpoint of rar- ity but it enhances the est/hetic iii- fluence of that particular design.

Suppose that Mr. Ford had been! subsidizing thc world's greatest art- ist for the past five years melely to work out a design for his new car. The cost of that design would then IJGPEDOWHOUS. But turn the specifi- cations over to machines. and be- fore long the unit cost between a good design and n makeshift thing from some second-rater could hardly; be measured. And thc» enhance- nlcnt of estlletic enjoyment to this country would be immeasurably great.

Big bilsiness appreciates tllc cash value of research. in improving lila- tcrials and processes of manufac- ture. Capital is generously cnlploy- ed iii answering half of a question ot‘ which part still is left begging. That is tllc matter of attractiveness. It should be answered only ill tel-ills of artistic capacity on a par witll that of the scientific energy which is put into making the product rigllt. ‘ .

I saw displays of industrial art ill both Germany and Frailce before the \var. The great Paris exhibi- lion of i925 was known as the Ili- ternational Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Art. It‘ was a notable event froln which two lessons of the greatest importance to America may be learned. In tile first place France. with true Gallic courtesy. assigned the four chief sites in the exposition grounds, twhich extended along both banks of the Seine and across the Alexan- der III bridge) to her four major Allies in thc war. and the United States declined its invitation because American manufacturers had little interest in an exhibition conceived in the nlodern spirit which animated thc oflicial specifications for exhibits.

The other lesson is thc part which‘ the department stores of Paris play: ill the atistic life of the nation; its own pavilion in the“ exposition grounds. and each has had for tile last tenyears a special department offering all kinds of material con- celvcd in the nlodern spirit. The result. has been most important commercially. because tlle modern improvement has been popularized by bringing its productions wiithin range of the average purse.
