The Windsor Star from Windsor, Ontario, Canada • 4

A.V. NEWSPAPER W. T. KSRMXK, Proprietor WINDSOR, ONT, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1953 mis "the Boys' Reciprocity Man for Injuries received on the Canadian Government Steamship Constance In 1917. Politics AND OTHER SUBJECTS STARBEAMSc WHAT REALLY HAPPENED I Bring Him Here! Every time we read anything about the exploits of Sir Malcolm Campbell, motorist extraordinary, we come back to the thought that he is the man to guide the British speed boat that must some day take the title away from our old neighbor, Mr.

Gar Wood, of Detroit. Yesterday, on the sands at Day-tona, Sir Malcolm put his mighty Bluebird through her paces, smashing his own world's record. The average speed for the double mile, down and back, was 272.103 miles per hour, as against 253.963 in 1932. In the south run, into the wind, Sir Malcolm tore it off at a 273.555 rate. But he was actually disappointed, because his instruments showed a speed of 320 miles per hour when he entered the measured mile space.

"That shows how much tire slippage there is to high speed," he commented afterward. Weather conditions were not good. There was a nasty But 50,000 spectators were on hand and Sir Malcolm decided that they should not be disappointed. They weren't! What a man! Let us repeat, if the British speed merchant can do this sort of thing on land, he can do it on the water. r.

Mr. Nixon, Progressive leader in the Legislature, was unfortunate in some features of his personal attack on Premier Henry, but certainly he made an impressive showing in the raking he gave the Government on the question, of filling the. Civil Service with its friends and defeated supporters, thus rolling up large and sometimes unnecessary bills for the taxpayers to meet. According to Mr. Nixon: A defeated Conservative is head of the Municipal Board at $7,000 a year.

A Conservative from Grey County heads the Old Age Pensions Board at $6,000. A former Tory M.L.A. from Elgin heads the Agricultural Development Board at $5,000 a year, aided by 50 employes paid $50,000. The King's Printer, another former gets $3,500 and his assistant $2,700. The chairman of the Hydro Commission, a Conservative M.L.A., has a salary of $20,000 greater, incidentally, than that of the Prime Minister of Canada.

A former South Oxford, MLA. gets $14,000 as head of the Workmen's Compensation Board. These and other figures which might have been quoted Liquor Control Board salaries, for instance make interesting reading for the people in these days of stress and hard digging. We fancy they'll cut a good deal of ice in the general election that some keen observers believe will be held within the next three months. Come on Home, Ben The Rev.

Ben pence is still singing his hymn of hate across the line. The Toronto "dry" crusader, told a Maine audience this week that the liquor control systems of the Canadian Provinces are "ghastly, grim, unspeakable failures." "Canada is only half dry," Mr. Spence declared at the meeting in Augusta. "The control systems are the old system back functioning through a more efficient marketing process than the old system ever did." Mr. Spence might as well pack his grip and come home.

All the speeches he can make in Maine or other parts of the Ui5.A. are not going to change the situation even a little bit. Uncle Sam is repealing prohibition just about as rapidly as he can and there is no indication that he will halt his task to get a cheerful little earful from even so eminent an adviser as the Rev. Ben. Also another reason why Mr.

Spence should come home Canadians are just a little tired of having themselves pictured before American audiences as a besotted lot who do nothing but guzzle booze from early morn till midnight or later. A Second Attempt Another attempt on the life of Mr. Roosevelt the mailing of a crudely-designed bomb has been nipped in the bud through the vigilance of a post-office employe. There was no possibility, of course, that the President-elect would be opening any kind of a package something that does not seem to have occurred to the sender but someone else might have been hurt. Mr.

Roosevelt, ever since the miracle at Miami, has been under special and unusual protection and presumably this will continue for some time to come. It is not that the Italian killer's effort appears to be any part of a general scheme of terrorization. Communistic or otherwise, but that the example thus set may inspire other warped minds to similar iendishness. This is the real danger of the moment. Wanted Sivcet Music Mr.

William H. Wood in, of Pennsylvania and New York, has been named by President-elect Roosevelt for the office of Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Woodin is a leading industrialist, a banker, a composer of symphonies, a numismatic fan and a collector of cruikshankia whatever that is. Also, he is nominally listed as a Republican.

Naturally, the musical Mr. Woodin will be expected to grind out some sweet music for taxpayers. That task, however, will not be nearly as easy as his pre-appointment composition of symphonies. The Dog Pound A suggestion that the Humane Society take over operation of the Windsor dog pound an object of much criticism and operate it for the city, is an excellent one. It is perfectly logical that an organization whose whole purpose is the protection of our animal friends should look after a task of this kind, receiving, of course', direct financial assistance from the city for so doing.

It is not likely that the cost to the taxpayers would be a cent more than at present and certainly the results secured would be much more sat is factory. "The pension to Michael Mountain Is for Injuries sustained on His Majesty's Canadian ship Festubert In 1926. "All these are cases which do not come under workmen's compensation because cf the employes being in the government service, but the pensions are calculated at workmen's compensation rates for the province." Motor Trucks QPERATORS of motor trucks axe feeling the pinch of the times, according to Senator Gillis of Saskatchewan. He told the Senate: "I have been informed that the competition (for the from motor trucks and buses is decreasing, because owners of these vehicles are not making a worthwhile profit out of the business. I believe there is some truth in the statement, but I do not know whether the competition will disappear to such an extent that the railways will be able to carry on as they did before these newer forms of transportation came into vogue." 3Ian Gets Blame AV himself, and none other, is to blame for the present depression.

We have that on the word of Sena- I tor J. J. Hughes of Prince Edward Island. In discussing present conditions. Senator Hughes told his colleagues in the Upper House: "This earth has experienced many afflictions, but the present depression is probably more widespread than any of those afflictions with the exception of the Deluge, and differs from them in other respects.

"The Deluge, the destruction of Sodom, the plagues of Egypt appear to have been caused by the direct Intervention of the Almighty; this world wide depression seems to be more the work of man himself. "And If he has not wilfully closed his eyes and hardened his heart he will surely get useful lessons from it. Perhaps these lessons had to be Impressed upon him for his own good." Rooevelt and Garner -5 4r President-elect Roosevelt been assassinated in Miami, his place aa President-elect would have been taken by Vice-President-elect Garner. This Is provided for In Section 3 of the 20th Amendment, which has Just been ratified. The section reads: "If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President-elect shall have died, the Vice-President-elect shall become President.

If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or If the President-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice-President-elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified, and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a Presidentelect nor a Vice-President-elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner In which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice-President shall have qualified." A Positive Force Mme. Curie Directs Laboratory and Lectures Although Past 60 Years "YADAME CURIE, co-discoverer with her late husband, Pierre Curie, of radium, continues to be a positive force In the world of science, the Edmonton Journal points out. She shows no inclination to rest upon her laurels, although she Is now in her sixties and had had greater honors heaped upon her than any living woman. She has received the Nobel prize twice, once with her husband and once alone. She is a member of the French Academy of Medicine, the only woman who has ever been admitted to a i French academy.

i And she was signally honored by the French Parliament In 1923. on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the sm- Her founding of the kg lasutut au Kaaium is perhaps one of her greatest achieve ments. During the 1 lifetime of her husband, they were seriously handicapped In 'ffi MME. CTlRIE their researches by lack of equipment and funds, since the substance with which they were working was prohibitively costly. When the French Government offered Pierre Curie the Legion of Honor, he refused, saying very simply that he needed a laboratory, not a decoration.

Years later, after the dream of the laboratory had been realized, Madame Curie declined the same honor out of respect of her husband's memory. Her many years of exposure to radium have had their effect on Madame Curie's health. Yet she not only administers the Curie Institut but personally directs the researches of her staff, conferring with them frequently, and she gives two lectures a week as a professor of physics in the University of Parts. She frankly dislikes this phase of her work, for she has never overcome her aversion to crowds. She is 111 at ease on the lecture platform, and yet when she Is conversing, on scientific subjects, with one or two people, she Is brilliantly articulate.

"Wooden Highlanders" J7 NGLISHMEN are recalling that wooden Highlanders are not conspicuous about London streets as was once the case. Like cur cigar store Indians, they have passed away to a large degree. These figures were placed above sheps as far back as 1720 and Tfre to be met with long after that date. One of th hiot of frajr. 7 er.co-ra?;r.g of the tiimea Li the appointment of Senator Hall, of Tennessee, sjs Secretary tf S-at- in the Roosevelt Cabinet, to iau Senator Hull Is one of the rnen-bers of the upper branch of He is held to be qualified for the important task of jruxlln? the affairs of the Department.

More interesting B.U, at this juncture in the world' history, is the fact that the man from Tennessee i3 described by New York arltera a-i "fundamentally a free trade man and an advocate of reciprocity." r3 Senator Hull believes that revision fef war debts one of the chief prob-lems to be tackled by the new Administration as soon as it takes office would be useless unle.ss accompanied by a reduction of trad t-oataclc-3. As a guarantee of good faith the Senator expressed the view recently that the United States should take the lead in proposing a 10 per cent, horizontal tariff reduction, to be joined In by other countries. A similar suggestion was made by John Aird in his recent presidential address at the annual meeting rf the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Bir John vwd the same figure 10 per cent. and asked that It be epplied to all tariffs In all countries as an Important start in the task of steaming up a resumption of world Urade.

ri In a public statement last November, Senator Hull used these words: -Of htt avail would it be to sidetrack the war debts upon the theory of Increasing international trade, while leaving Intact the Insurmountable tariff and other trade and finance obstructions that bristle on every national frontier and render trade virtually as impossible without war debts as with them?" In the following month the Tennessee Senator said: "It is my individual opinion that our Government should propose to other Governments, acting Individually and separately, the carrying out of a common policy of discontinuing any further Increases of tariff and similar trade obstructions, and of effecting a horizontal reduction of 10 percent of their respective permanent tariff rates. Our Government, as an evidence of Its good faith, should announce its unqualified purpose thus to take the lead. Suspending war debts does not lower one Inch these skyscraping barriers, which under American leadership have been carried to the wildest extreme In every part of the world. "Let other Governments flr-t be asked to define their attitude on these major obstructions to trade and finance to the end that both Individual and concerted action of the nations In support of a comprehensive relief program. Including all debts, may be had.

This Government could then consider these foreign debt applications separately and Individually, but concurrently with the consideration of trade, monetary and tariff problems, and policies by a world economic conference." rj One may assume, of course, that the sentiments of Senator Hull are acceptable to President-elect Roosevelt, else the latter would not have rhesjen the former for his principal Cabinet appointment. As a matter of fact, during the last Presidential campaign, when Mr. Hoover was Advocating even higher tariffs than the United States has at present, Mr. Roosevelt was pleading for reciprocal tariff action and promising his support to international action along these lines. The New York Times, we note, is favorably impressed with this week's discussion in the Canadian House of Commons where a suggestion for revival of the Canadian-American trade reciprocity idea was brought forward by Mr.

Duff. The Times pictures mutual benefits for the two countries from such an agreement and hopes that Mr. Roosevelt, after March 4, will act on Premier Bennett's statement that he would welcome an official inquiry as to treaty possibilities. rj The Toronto Globe expresses its "approval of this week's discussion at Ottawa. "When all parties drop their antipathies long enough to become Jointly enthusiastic over a proposed trade agreement," the Toronto paper pays, "it must be a sign of better times ahead." And the Globe adds: "The most hopeful sign is the general move to reduce tariffs not only "in "North America, but generally Trade negotiations between Canada and the United States would be an Important step in the world-wide move.

Simultaneously, Premier MacDon-feld announces that Britain will attempt, at the forthcoming World peonorale Conference, to promote peneral lowering of tariff barriers. Ills statement is interpreted as meaning that John Bull has no intention of maintaining his present duty walls as a permanent policy. While one should not become too enthusiastic over these "signs of the times," it must be admitted that they ere encouraging. Slowly but surely. It appears, a common sense attitude toward tariffs is being established.

Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hull can do more than anyone els to push a worthy Idea along. Doe of Paddle gEXATOR TANNER or Nora Scotia has some definite ideas of his own concerning how rebellions convicts in Canadian penitentiaries should be handled. He would not molly-coddle them.

He would treat them as prisoners, convicted of crime. He says: "I never saw a paddle, but I submit that those criminal gentlemen who took part In the wanton destruction of property at Portsmouth deserve a fine dose of the paddle. That Is my judgment. That we have refrained from giving them a few doses Is, I think, one of the reasons why they have been so defiant." Canal Tolls QN the subject of canal tolls and the possibility of charting tolls on the Welland and other canals, Senator Gries- bach of Edmonton makes the following contribution to the debate: "Is It not true that the strongest argument against the Imposition of tolls on canals Is to be found In the fact that the Sault Ste. Marie canal, which carries more traffic than any other canal In the world, belongs to the United States and that no tolls are exacted against Canadian vessels there? If we charged tolls, the Americans would no longer permit our vessels to use any of their canals free of charge." Book of Remembrance yyORK is proceeding on Canada's Book of Remembrance, in which are to be written the names of those Canadians who gave their lives In the World War.

The work Is being done by James Purvis, an artist, illuminator and designer. He Is to be paid a fee of $35,000. The work will take some years to complete. The Idea Is described thus by Hon. D.

M. Sutherland: "The book will be made up In this way: "The names of all members of the Canadian forces, and of Canadians who served in the forces of the British Empire, who lost their lives from war causes between August 4, 1914, and April 30, 1922, will be Inscribed In the book, each entry to consist of the surname, Christian names, rank, decorations and unit, the arrangement to be alphabetical by years of death. "Then there will be a page without names dedicated to Canadians who have died or may die from war causes subsequent to the last mentioned date. "There will be a page without names dedicated to those Canadians who died from war causes while serving in other allied or associated armies. "The names are to be Inscribed by hand on vellum pages.

The title page, as well as certain other pages, will be Illuminated. The binding Is under the direction of the chief binder of the public archives. The materials used are subject to the approval of the committee and are to be purchased within the British Empire, and when completed the book Is not to be accepted without the approval of the committee. "The situation at present is this: "The work Is being carried on In a studio which has been set aside by the national research bureau. All essential material for the book, including vellum leaves, color and gold leaf, have been bought and paid for.

A model of the work, In actual size, has been constructed according to agreement and Is In process of examination and review by the committee." Premiums for Gold JECAUSE Canadian paper money Is. below par In gold funds, the Dominion of Canada has had to pay a premium to producers of gold when the latter have turned their precious metal over to the Government. Two years ago, when the Canadian paper money was at par, there was no premium. The amount of gold In ounces, Its worth In gold funds and the premium paid the producers in 1930, 1931 and 1932 are given by Hon. H.

H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce. The 1932 totals are based on' estimates. The amounts follow: Year Ounces Worth Premium 1930 2,102,068 $43,453,601 none 1931 2,693,892 55,687.688 $2,005,424.70 1932 3,055,168 63,155,925 7.705,660.38 Pensions Granted JERTAIN people draw life pensions from the Dominion Government These are passed by Parliament. Robert Allen gets Walter Pettipas, Florence Walker and children, $450; Arnold Truman Townsend, $420; and Michael Mountain, $240.

These pensions are explained by Hon. D. M. Sutherland, Minister of Defense, who says: "The pension to Robert Allen is for Injuries received while a civilian employe awaiting enlistment In the mechanical transport In 1916. "The life pension to Walter Pettipas Is for loss of sight due to an explosion at Halifax in 1916.

"The life pension to Mrs. Florence Walker is for the death of her husband killed by an exploding shell In the performance of his duty at Fort Clarence, Halifax, In 1923. That pension had been higher, but has been cut down this year owing to one of the daughters having reached an age where she is rjot eligible for the allowance. "The pension to Arnold Townsend is was bent double and clouds of steam aroso from George's pants. "There now," said Mr.

H. ARISTOCRACY sectable citizens of their adopted countries. Altogether they represent what the nabobs cf the Communist party In the Kremlin at Moscow would call the "liquidated aristocracy." They are always liquidating something or other over there. Just at present the liquidation process seems to be applying to the enemies of rnnrE't thoi ret kov Joseph Stalin, whom he calls the enemies of the Five-Year Plan and the next Flve- Year Plan to come. the word nabob.

Aristocracies can be done away with on occasion. Red Terrors, like that in France in 1793 or that of the few years Immediately fallowing the October. 1917. revolution in Russia, do the trick very nicely. One can liquidate the kulaks, as they call those Russian farmers who managed to make a little money and get land cf their own out cf the early days of the Revolution and the New Economic Policy era decreed by 1 nin when he saw that his first brand of Communism wasn't going to work along the lir.es prescribed by Karl Marx.

But nabobs seem to be harder to get rid of. Lenin himself was no nabob. Kls place in history has not yet been fixed, for that is too early. And when it Is, Lenin wil probably rank among the world's great as being worthy of the adulation the Russian rank and file now pay to his mummy in the black granite mausoleum In the Red Square. But what about Joseph Stalin? It may be too early to pass a verdict on Stalin.

He may have Intrigued to get the power In order that he might order things for the benefit of the Russian worker. But there are plenty of observers, such aa Will Durant. the philosopher, who will tell you that the Russian people have little. If any. liberty and who speak of the millions of spies and of criminals tossed out of Jails to make way for political prisoners.

If such observations be correct, it looks like there was another aristocracy arising In Russia. It seem very difficult to reduce humanity to a dead level of equality, the way the Eolf-henks started out to do.

All the choke chrrries. the marasrhinrj cherries, the Jerusalem cherries and the "Bn soir, ma cherie" all had been wantonly hacked and destroyed. This took place 201 years ago yesterday, but it seems like today that Papa Washington, viewing the debris, muttered "I knew I shouldn't have given that little ape a hatchet for his birthday." and then, raising his voire, "Hey, young fella No answer.

Pray Editorial Staff, The Border Cities Star "TTHERE was a royal Russian wedding the other day, but it did not happen In Moscow, nor was Joseph Stalin, the former daring train robber of the Caucasus who used to get gold out of cars in order that he might help along the revolution he now bosses, the best marl. Instead, the wedding was In New York. Now lots of people can call themselves princes or dukes or whatnot and get away with It In New York If they have the manner and look expensive enough.

The tallest title that the United States confers officially Is "Honorable" on Members of Congress and such, but that does not prevent Americans from loving titles. They do. Hence princes and others who bear titles with the proper European flavor are welcome In New York, and when they do something like getting married, they can have a column or so In the best New York dallies. rrHE Russian aristocrats who got married the other day were the Princess Luba 6bolensky, daughter of the Prince and Princess Alexis Obolensky of NewYcrk City, and Prince Serge Gregory Troubetzkoy, 'son of Princess Mary Troubetzkoy of Moscow. They were married in the Russian Church of Christ the Savior with all the solemn ceremony the deep-throated chanting, the crowns and robes and incense with which the Greek Orthodox Church knows how to invest such occasions.

Half a dozen aristocratic Russians, including a baron and a prince for good measure, were among the best men and ushers. One imagines that it was quite a wedding something Jike the old time pomp and circumstance in Moscow before a combination cf Rasputin, the Great War, a weak-kneed Czar, a bossy Czarina with German sympathies, well-meaning Alexander Kerensky, and those determined liberators of the people, Nicolai Lenin and Leon Trotsky, quite ruined the show in 1917. "XHERE are a lot of people like the Obolenskys and Troubetzkoys scattered all over the world. Some shine shoes. Others run boarding houses.

Some have made money In their new environment, and others have managed to live on their former glory, somehow or another. Some got away from Moscow and the Terror with a bit of money. Some of the more fortunate had Investments abroad. A very, very few stayed in Russia, won the confidence of the Bolsheviks and are now Comrades in the Party.

At 272 miles an hour you don't have to look at the billboards. Daytona or no Daytona, Sir Malcolm Campbell has plenty of sand. "Scientist Says Animals Laugh." And, after all, can you very well blame 'em? A few days of this weather should reduce anyone's golf handicap mentally, at least. Chicago's soup kitchens, it is stated, have proved quite a success. By soup can they mean nitroglycerine? "Women are not interested in parties," says an editorial writer.

But don't get the wrong impression. He means political parties. There are arguments as to whether the petticoat has or has not returned. Personally, we are too much of a gentleman to Investigate but we trust there'll be a good windy day soon. Motor manufacturers are preparing to spend millions for education, although how they make whole traffic jams blossom where nothing at all grew before is an education in itself.

Every man, according to scientists, should engage in a certain amount of research. Well, every man does unless he has collar buttons that bounce back out from under the dresser. As a means of settling arguments, says a European correspondent, coffee and pistols for two have gone out of fashion. But nearer at hand we still have alley beer and machine-guns for six. Dietician declares breakfast should be eaten in absolute silence, and the husband who has toddled home late the night before with a headache and a weak alibi will thoroughly agree with him.

What has Moscow done for European reconstruction? asks an opponent of recognition for Soviet Russia. Well, it has probably asked for time-and-a-half for overtime, even when there is no overtime. Ottawa's winter carnival, by the way, means snowshoeing and tobogganing in Rockcliffe Park and not, as you might naturally suppose, gumshoeing and hemming-and-hawing on Parliament Hill. Hospitals report that great progress is being made with the recently discovered vaccine which is administered to the patient by means of an air bulb held before the mouth. Well, that's better than plowing up the landscape.

In an Interview at a recent stopping place on his world cruise, George Bernard Shaw admitted that he was the "Colossus of the Drama World." But third degree methods, well bet, were necessary in order to make him break down and confess. Mr. W. E. N.

Sinclair suggests the Provincial Government give local school boards a chance to get back to the three R's.
