AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER W. r. HZR1IAX. Proprietor WINDSOR. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1933 Politics AND OTHER SUBJECTS i A RB A HOW'S YOUR GOLF? Congress Moves Both, the Senate and the House of Representatives have now repealed the constitutional amendment providing for prohibition.

The Senate took action last week. A similar vote went through the House with a big majority yesterday. No Presidential approval is necessary. The proposition now passes on to the various States for ratification by special con- non-hooking, non-slicing driver which will enable anyon? even Gam Sutton to play Dominion under par.

V. rrntY I Or: thf cvrr A VT VC ViC'. f-eTr-VJ 'v i cvr The Bridge Report We have just finished reading the report of the Detroit International Bridge Company, as presented at the annual meeting in New York this month. It is not a pleasant financial picture that President Joseph A. Bower had to lay before the bondholders and stockholders, but in this respect it differs little from the reports of most companies in these da3S.

Vehicular traffic over the bridge for the year 1931 decreased 35.8 percent, from that reported for 1930, while for 1932 the decline was 50.7 per cent, below 1930 and 23.2 per cent, under the 1931 figures. Revenue, of course, decreased in proportion. When one remembers, however, that the revenue of the bridge in 1930 was nearly a million dollars and takes into consideration the drop in business of all kinds, we feel that this splendid undertaking Is not in such" a bad position after all. As the business clouds clear away, the Ambassador Bridge will come into its own again. It is one of the finest structures of Its kind in the world and it connects two of America's most Important centres.

Its building was heralded with much popular enthusiasm, and both sides of the Detroit river, we feel sure, are more than appreciative of the efforts of Mr. Bower and his associates in making the structure possible. They encountered many obstacles in their promotion work, but never faltered In their determination. Today, the bridge, like practically every other utility. Is not doing a land office business, simply for the reason that traffic in sufficient quantities Is not now available.

This problem will be removed as general conditions Improve. While we are on the subject, we should like to suggest to General Manager McDougald that he renew his efforts to secure the operation of a regular bus service back and forth across the span. We believe that such a service would be of great value to the two communities, that it would be appreciated by the public and that, unhampered by local restrictions If this be possible it would be financially profitable. Although, as we iro to press, the golf bug seems to have been stymied a pain by Old 3Lin Winter, some sparkling pre-season scorn are being marked up at the 19th hole, which is open all the year a round. Border courses this season will offer several extremely interesting innovations.

which Starbeams is privileged tsy to re- eal to the gouing public for th- flr time. Out at Kingsville, for instance, Ernie McCay and Bunny Dixon have bern working all winter en a new type cf bunkrr which automatically tees up jour baiL Yen know bow hard it is to smack the spheroid off the top of a hummock of grass and sand without removing most of the grass and sand along with the spheroid. Well, the new Mc Cay-Dixon automatic bunker tee. a illustrated above, solves the problem. Yon come galloping after your ball, and there it is perched op pretty and ready to be rloutrd to the edge of the green or, if the worst comes to the worst, as it usually does, at least to another bunkrr where the process is repeated.

Pressed for an explanation as to how he bit upon this novel remedy for one of the greatest of golfing ills, Mr. McCay blushed becomingly and said: "Oh. it just came to me one night while I was holding a keg cf nails up to my ear to hear if anything gurg bey pardon rattled." Similarly. Nick Whi is busy Just now experimenting with a new non-topping. A Gesture Mr.

Ir.ilf'3 motion In Parliament yereriay Is an Interesting gesture, fcrt. we fear, is not likely to become tniich more than that. A reciprocal trade arrangement between Canada and the United Btates was directed in the year 1911, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier headed the Government cf this country and Mr. William Howard Taft was President cf the United States. Unfortunately er othenri.se according to the party point of view it was scattered to the Sour wincLs vhen the people of Canada turned the Liberal Party out of power.

Sir Wilfrid was so confident that he had done a good stroke cf business and that the people -were behind him, that he staked his political life on the question, appealed to the voters long before it was neces-eary for him to do so and lost! Most persons remember that campaign. It degenerated Into a flag-waving affair. The Conservatives eaw their golden opportunity and made the most of It. They pictured Canada pulling away from Great Britain. They quoted the indiscreet speeches of both President Taft and the late Champ Clark, of Missouri.

They asked the people to make their choice between Uncle Sam and John BulL And when the votes were counted Laurier found himself on the short end of the count. Mr. Fielding was Minister of Finance at ths time Reciprocity was arranged. The turn of the political wheel again found the Nova Scotia statesman directing the fiscal policy of the nation in the year 1923. Mr.

King was Premier then. Mr. Fielding seized the occasion to reassert his faith in the soundness of the Reciprocity doctrine and to formally declare that Canada was willing and ready to discuss a "fair and reasonable" agreement with Uncle Sam once more. Mr. Fielding's statement attracted considerable attention in American newspapers and magazines, but there was no response from Washington.

The day had passed. The United States, always partial to tariffs, was more than ever in favor bf them in 1923. Customs walls were being built higher and higher. Neither politicians nor voters were In a mood to reconsider. Now we get down to the present and Mr.

Duff's resolution of yesterday. Mr. Duff is a Liberal MP. and, like Mr. Fielding, from Nova Scotia.

His section of the country has been particularly hard hit by the continual Increasing of American tariff restrictions. His motion proposes that negotiations be opened for a reciprocal trade agreement providing for the free entry of Canadian natural products into the United Btates, in return for which Canada would grant free entry to "certain goods" from the United States. And, explaining that he had always been an advocate of freedom of trade, he paid that he wished to keep the debate on his motion as far from politics as possible. Editorial Points We're being snowballed out! Well well be darned! Here it's almost spring, and not a sign yet of next autumn's styles! Governor Comstock of Michigan, according to a news item, is "broke but breezy." Shake, Bill! Hooey, in case you are still wondering, is that stuff which, when it reaches the age of a hundred or so, becomes "history." San Francisco has a Chinese telephone exchange with 2.300 sub-fscribers and goodness knows how many wrong numbers. "Ten Cents Buys Wife in China," says a headline.

In that case, the bridegroom is probably accused of bragging if he feels like 30 cents. "Spring," says a weather observer, "always visits a few times before coming to stay." So keep a place at the table and your underwear on. In the hope of hearing American radio programs, Swedish radio fans are said to be studying English. Since when has that been necessary? You go to bed with grass budding on your lawn and wake up with two inches of frozen cow juice on top of the milk bottle. That's the Banana Belt! Iowa girl tried to flag a train with her petticoat yeah, they still wear 'em out there but the train didn't stop.

In other words, she failed signally. The real need of the farmer, as Shakespeare or somebody else used to say, is a better price per cow, per hen, per sheep, per hog, per acre and per tater. However, not for several weeks yet can you determine, off-hand, whether that springlike aroma in the atmosphere Is onions or somebody's brake-linings. Fish trapped under the Ice at Win-stead, are reported to have sawed their way to the surface with their fins. The fin, in Connecticut at least, is mightier than the sword-fish.

Choleric critic obviously a male declares the evening gowns which the women are wearing these nights "look like the deuce." Intentionally, no doubt. The deuce, you know, is the lowest possible cut. "If all the punk radio programs were suppressed," snorts a Western writer, "there would be plenty of channels for' the other kind." The other kind? Maybe we haven't been listening closely enough. As applauders, Ossip Gabrilowitsch says he prefers those audiences in Southern Europe who shout when they are pleased and, when they are not, hiss and throw potatoes. Preferably, of course, mashed potatoes.

"A giant hydraulic press which at a single stroke converts old automobiles into bales of scrap has been recently installed," says the New York Times, "in the Rogue plant of the Ford Motor Company." They're certainly hot after Henry! Grand larceny charge has been laid in a New York court against Count H. Victor von Broens-Trupp Cherep-Splridovich, founder of the Order of the Blue LamooJ Couldn't they have got him Just for being Count H. Victor von Broens-Trupp Cherep-Spiridovich, founder of the Order of the Blue Lamoo? "On the other hand, Representative Frederick Lehlbach informs Congress, "I have seen laborers, mechanics, merchants, manufacturers, professional men, bankers, judges, both state and federal, clergymen, both of the Roman Catholic and Protestant persuasion, blandly and unconcernedly ignore prohibition." Must have been quite a party, Freddie! Strathcona Trust rpiIE cadet question in Canadian schools has become a topic of intense interest following discussion in the House of Commons. Much has been said regarding grants to various schools from the trust fund established by Lord Strathcona. Prime Minister Bennett outlines the terms of the Strathcona fund to assist cadet training, in these words: "If I had thought this matter would engage the attention of the committee I would have brought the necessary documents with me.

although I would have expected that the honorable gentleman would be familiar with the so-called Strathcona trust with respect to cadets. The officials have been able to furnish me with the constitution of the Strathcona trust for the encouragement of physical training and military drill in public schools. It reads: CONSTITUTION "The following shall be the officers of the trust: "'Patron His Excellency the Governor-General of Canada. "Vice-Patron The Right Honorable Sir Wilfrid Laurier. G.C.M.G..

Paragraph 3 provides for rules and regulations and the constituting of a local committee for each province. Section 4 reads: TERMS OF TRUST "The local committees shall be charged with "a) Ensuring that the means of instruction In physical and military training are available for both teachers and pupils, where required. "(b Division of the province Into convenient districts for purposes cf supervision and competition. "'c Arranging details of the training to be given, so as to suit local conditions.

(a) His object being not only to improve the physical and intellectual capabilities cf the children, by inculcating habits of alertness, orderliness and prompt obedience, but also to bring up the boys to patriotism, and to a realization that the first duty of a free citizen is to be prepared to defend his country, the intention cf the founder is that, while physical training and elementary drill should be encouraged for all children of both sexes attending public schools, especial importance is to be attached to the teaching of military drill generally to all boys, including rifle shooting for boys capable of using rifles. All boys should so far as possible be made to acquire fair acquaintance while at school, with military drill and rifle LETTER FROM DONOR "Then follows an extract from a letter from the Right Hon. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal to the Hon. Sir F.

W. Borden. K.C.M.O, Minister of Militia and Defence, dated April 17, 1909, reading: 'It la not my desire to make any alteration In the trust deed, as formulated by you." "Order-in-councll, P.C 1768, dated August 13. 1D08, reads in part as follows: 'The Minister of Militia and Defence submits the following synopsis of proposals entered into between the educational authorities of the Province of Nova Scotia and himself respecting physical training and military drill in all public schools of that province. "Then follows substantially a reproduction of what I have read already.

That trust. I believe, Is still being carried out under the arrangement provided for in the trust deed itself." Mr. Brown: "What as the amount of money mentioned?" Mr. Bennett: "Half a million dollars. The note handed to me by the officials of the department reads as follows: "'It will be seen that the original amounts placed with the Receiver-General by Lord Strathcona were and $200,000, respectively; and that these amounts may be withdrawn at the wish of the trustees only.

These amounts have not been withdrawn to date. 'The interest on this $500,000 fund is placed by the Receiver-General to the credit of the trustees In an Interest-bearing account at the Bank of Montreal, Wellington and O'Connor streets, in half-yearly instalments of $10,000 each, on or about May 15 and November 15 of each year. "The amount of the interest. $20,000. is distributed annually to the provinces on the basis of the number of school attendants as furnished by the department of education of each province.

"'The interest earned on the deposits of $10,000 half-yearly at the Bank of Montreal li used for expenses of the trustees, such as printing, postage, etc. "I merely mention the trust deed as I was dealing with the point raised by the right honorable gentleman. I am not able from memory to say whether the Dominion would be in a position to approach the provinces, or whether, having regard to the terms of the existing arrangements, the approach would have to be made by the discontinuance of the grants for cadet services by the school district either in the municipalities or through the province itself; for the Strathcona trust, as will be observed. Is dealt with by the education authorities In all the provinces." VIGILANCE 1 ventions the first time in American history this method has been used. Thirty-six of the States three-quarters must approve in order to make the repeal effective.

Thirteen States, of any size, can block the measure and it is on this possibility that die-hard prohibitionists are staking their last hopes. That there will be a bitter struggle in the States goes without saying, although a dozen or more have already arranged to ratify -what may become the 21st Amendment. An interesting feature of the situation is that action must be taken by the States within seven years, or else the Congressional procedure becomes void. In view of the Presidential and other votes of last November, Con-gres could take no other action. If the Congress now putting in last licks had failed to move, the incoming one, with a much greater "wet" strength, would have done so.

As an example of the change In sentiment, as an indication of the hopelessness of trying to continue the old policy, yesterday's resolution was moved by an ardent prohibitionist. The Miami Sentence The chances are that Guiseppl Zangara, one-time Italian army lieutenant, will never have another chance to attempt the assassination of the kings, presidents and other prominent figures that he hates so much. In Miami yesterday the little fellow who came within an ace of killing President-elect Roosevelt, was sentenced to 80 years "In jail 20 years on each of four counts, the sentences to run consecutively. And if either of two of his victims. Mayor Cermak, of Chicago, or Mrs.

Gill, should die, Zangara will be taken back to court to face a murder charge. Zangara was quite unrepentant. He calmly pleaded guilty to each count, expressed his willingness to go to the electric chair, said the sentences were fair and expressed his sorrow that the bullets intended for Mr. Roosevelt had failed to find their mark. We notice that some medical authority is quoted as saying that Zangara is quite sane.

It is difficult to appreciate this, for, to the lay mind, how can a man be sane who attempts a crime of this kind and especially against one with whom he had no contacts and whose outlook on life is essentially humanitarian, essentially for the very class of society represented by the assassin? And in Toronto Mr. Woodsworth, speaking at Hamilton, takes occasion to deny reports that he came here from Russia. He was born in Canada, in Toronto, to be exact, and comes of U. E. L.

stock. It is a regrettable thing, of course, that the point should ever be raised. We would have just as much respect for Mr. Woodsworth. had he been born in Russia or Sweden or any other country.

The place of one's birth is an accident at best. It has no bearing on anything. It Is what one does in the country in which he lives that counts. The narrow type of mind which would suggest that Mr. Woodsworth was one of those hated and distrusted foreigners is the same type that would like to deport the C.

C. F. leader from Canada because he does not happen to agree with old-fashioned views, good or bad. Fortunately for Mr. Woodsworth as we remarked not long ago he can fool the deportatlonists.

They cant get rid of him that easily. Municipal Golf Those who from time to time have agitated for the launching of a municipal golf course in the Border Cities will be interested in the annual report of the Thames Valley Club, London's publicly-owned course. Despite a natural decline of membership in 1932, the Thames Valley had a surplus of more than $4,000. It is a 27-hole proposition and one of the nicest in the country. It has never cost the taxpayers anything, all improvements being paid for out of receipts.

This is only one of many municipal golf courses throughout America that have done well. So great is the interest in the game that there is never a dearth of players, and when satisfactory conditions are provided, as In the case of London, a public course is almost certain to be a success. As soon as conditions get back on a normal basis here, it i3 likely that the agitation for a large public course will take active form once more.

anticipates every move he makes outside the White House, and tells him, in effect, whether he may make such a move. Occasionally, it would seem from Washington items, he allows the President and his wife to take a little walk around Washington. When that happens, it is new. Colonel Starling is said to be the finest revolver shot in the U. S.

A having learned to shoot in the Kentucky mountains when feuds and straight shooting were the rule. Coionel Starling was in the service when President Wilson attended the Paris peace conference, and is credited with having saved the life of Clemenceau by nice shooting. Starling was in a car following Clemenceau on the day hen an attempt as made to kill the French Premier. As the stepped forward and leveled his revolver. Colonel Starling beat him to it.

firing quickly at the would-be assassin's pistol hand. The bullet struck Its target and deflected the shot directed at Clemenceau. with the result that only the French statesman's hct was pierced and his life was saved by Inches. 'THE secret service men take no chances when the President Is on a trip. That which took President Hoover to Detroit last fall to make his speech in the Oiyrnpia arena was hastily decided on.

but it gave the secret service men time to make thorough preparations. Switches over the ro-jte that the President's epecial was to travel were all spiked, and a pilot train went ahead. Such precautions are routine, always followed out when the President makes such a trip. Another routine precaution Is to have the divisional superintendents of the road which the President's special follows ride the train. One gets on at the beclnr.ing of each division; gets olf when his division ends, when another takes his place.

The divisional superintendent represents the responsibility cf the railroad. He is there to take command should anything happen. On the Detroit trip. Richard Jarvis. early in the morning, was making his usual inspection of the train.

In the diner he saw a stranger, calm'y eating breakfast. Without waiting to ask any Questions, Jarvis pulled on the emergency cord and brought the train to a Ftop at a lonely place in the West Virginia hills. Then he nailed the intruder and ia another second or two had the man on the platform, ready to tcss him off the train. But one of the trair.rhen protested. "You can't do that," he said.

"That's the division superintendent." What had happened was that while Jarvis was in his berth the train had stopped at a division point and the superintendents had changed while another cf the secret service men was in charge of the precautions which are always made when the train stops locking on the top cf the train, inspecting the "reds" underneath and all cf that. A SSASSINS have killed three Presidents cf the United States Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield and William McKinley. But the ef'icacy of the secret service is shown by the fact that nobody has gotten a chance to kill a President in nearly 32 years; net zir.es the summer of 1901, when President McKinley was fatally wour.ded. The shots fired at Mr. Roosevelt in Miami are expiained by the fact that both the President and the President-elect were making trips at the same time in different parts of the county.

They may that it will not happen again. The Church and War There is, unfortunately, much to be said for Dr. J. M. Young's Indictment of the Twentieth Century church as a failure.

When the Great War struck. Dr. Young points out, not one Christian church raised voice against it or did anything about it. The church failed as well, by not having more to do with the Treaty of Versailles and today It was not doing enough, to stimulate opinion against war, he said. It is difficult, of course, for any religious denomination to fly in the face of popular opinion, especially In time of war.

Things happen rapidly. Governmental decisions often come like a bolt from the blue. And when the decision has been made, when a country Is declared to be at war, it is not an easy thing for any church or any group of churches to express displeasure, let alone opposition. Nevertheless, a solid movement among all the churches of the world, against war, would undoubtedly have a strong and valuable effect in preventing future conflicts. War is wrong, from the Christian point of view, and undoubtedly it is the duty of the church to protest and fight the things that are wrong.

Cutting Down Costs Now that Mr. Sinclair has Introduced a bill for abolition of the expensive and unnecessary Grand Jury system there should be no doubt as to the proposed reform becoming effective, for Attorney-General Price long ago gave voice to an opinion that the system could be ended without injury to the Province. It is encouraging to those who argue for less expense in government to see that their Ideas are catching on and that all over the country the demand for elimination of "frills" is being taken up. We have still a long way to travel In the direction of economy, but the trend is definite and cannot be resisted by those in public office. The Government's announced intention of reducing the size of the Ontario Legislature is a case In point, though, we must confess disappointment that the saving in this direction is apparently not to be nearly as large as we had hoped for.

Toronto, with its 15 members at present, is now slated to lose only two seats by redistribution, and, seemingly, Essex County, will lose none. If this is the way the reform works out we are afraid that Mr. Henry is not going to get nearly as much credit as he might have obtained. Same Here, Stanley! Rt. Hon.

Stanley Baldwin declares the speeches he enjoys most are those which are made when there are no gentlemen of the press present. Well, that holds good for the gentlemen of the press, too. By W. H. Vaughan Editorial Staff, The Border Cities Star pHET say that In East 65th street.

From now on, Mr. Roosevelt Is going to be better guarded by a detail that began Its vigilance the very night it was known he was elected to the presidency of the United States. Guarding the President of the United States against possible assassins and hostile moves on the part of cranks, paranoics and persons with imagined grievances is a Job that keeps 30 men of the United secret service busy the year around.

When there Is a President-elect to guard also, they have extra duties. The detail is not subject to the orders of the President, who would probably tell them to go chase themselves more often than not, as he felt safe and hated to have them always shadowing him. That Is why the secret service detail guarding the President takes Its orders from just one man the Secretary of the Treasury. 'TTHE guard for the President and the President-elect is headed by two men who have developed special technique for their job through years of experience Richard Jarvis and Colonel Starling. Jarvis Is the acting head of the detail.

Suave, alert and physically fit, Mr. Jarvis not only accompanies the President on all trips, but it 3 ill r2 ll Ml mf'm fcal If it I It was hardly to be expected, of course, that the Duff resolution would appeal to Mr. Bennett, though Ihe did surprise the House by agreeing with the idea to some extent and announcing that an amendment would be moved. The Prime Minister, tracing the history of trade negotiations throughout the years, criticized the Reciprocity agreement of 1911 on the ground that it was riot a treaty; it was an agreement. Ihe said, affecting only a certain list of products and was to be entirely abrogated once either nation changed the tariff on any one Item.

It was for no specific term of years. "I have always opposed." Mr. Bennett added, "agreements whose if ate depended on the caprices of one party, agreements which can be terminated by one nation simply by changing one tariff Item without consideration of the benefit of the other party." Mr. Bennett's reference to the "caprices of one party" is more than ordinarily interesting, in view of the agreements reached at last year's Imperial Conference. These agreements, so far as Canada Is concerned, were largely the products of one party and it is safe to assume that there will be an alteration In the event of a change of government in Canada.

Naturally. Liberals are not In sympathy with, the tariff program of the present Government, and so far as the Imperial Conference agreements reflect this disagreement, there will be a change. Mr. King made this clear -in the debate last evening when he protested against Canada's hands being tied though Britain's were left free. ri Mr.

Duffs resolution will provide an Interesting debate, but little else. It is true a change of government is taking place across the line, but we are hardly optimistic enough to believe that the Democratic triumph will be followed by any drastic lowering of tariffs. There is nothing in the Democratic attitude nor record of recent years to suggest, such a reform much as the country needs It and as the world at large requires such, a change.
