‘THEN AND NOW

Dominion disbursements for ac- counts received for unemployment relief and relief settlement, from the passage of the Unemployment Re- ‘lief Act, i830 to Dec. 3i, 1934, were tabled in the House of Commons last week and appeared in a Can- adian Press despatch in Saturday's Gcm-Idien. Per capitir, the largest ~ sums have properly gone to the Western Provinces. where adverse crop and weather conditions, over a period of several years, added ma- terially to unemployment problems. Every Province, however, shared ac- cording to its need. This Province since the Act went intoucrcc, re- ceived the sum of $573,603.

Prince Edward Island being a Tory" province we would have re- ceived, had Mr. King been in power,‘ "not a single cent" to aid unem- ployment. Mr. King himself _is authority for this statement, which was made in Parliament on April 4, 1980, just before the Liberal .eader quittcd office. I-Iis attitude towards unemployment relief was expressed In unmistakable words. He might. he said. "be prepared to go a cer- tain length possibly in meeting one or two of the western provinces that have Progressive premiers at the

‘head of their governments, but I would not give a single cent to any Tory government." When "Shaniei" at this astound- ing statement was cried by the Con- ‘sei-vative opposition leader, Mr. ‘ _"~_ Bennett, Premier King asked, “What ' ‘is there in be ashamed of?" and went on to say: "May I repeat what I have said? With respect fo giv- ill‘ moneys out of the federal Treas- r ury to any Tory government in this country for these alleged unemploy meut purposes, with these govern- ments situated as they are today, with policies diametrically opposed » to those of this government, I would ‘ not give them a. five cent piece." Had Premier Bennett taken this attitude, what a predicament thc i mLiberal provinces would be in today! Not one “five-wnt piece" for Mr. Mitchell Hepburn and his stalwarts in Ontario, for Mr. Taschereau in Quebec, for Mr. Angus Macdonald in Nova. Scotia, for Mr. Patullo in British Columbia, dr for any gov- ernment "with policies diametrically opposed" to the Bennett policies! ' We can imagine what Messrs. _ Hepburn, Macdonald, et al. rouid . say to that! Wouldn't they go on the rampage, stumping the country and denouncing the autocracy, thc partisanship, and what-not, of the Ottawa administration? A n g u s Macdonald would appoint another Jones Commission on the spot; . "Mitch" would muster his gang - and make an assault on the Cap- ital in person. 1“1‘om British Col- umbia to Cape Breton a wail would go up, such as was never heard since the landing of Cartier! , As we showed on Saturday, Mr. ‘ King's attitude towards highway _-_expenditures was<>on a par- with his narrow-minded policy on un- ~‘ employment. "A thoroughly vicious principle," he said, and voted, with every member of his Government, flatly against continuing the Do- rninion, Highways grant which thc Conservatives had inaugurated.

With the falling off in federal’ revenues due to the world depres- sion of thc past five years, the Lib- eral leader, if he were in power, would be still less inclined today to help the provinces. Yet he poses as the champion of thc economic reform measures introduced by Pro- mier Bennett in I‘.- liameni! With what brazen presumption does he

Lloyd George is- said to be ang- ling for a place in the British National Government. I-Ie and Win- ston Churchill were excluded in the first instance because neither the Samuel Liberals nor the Ramsay Macdonaid Labourties would trust them. We can hardly conceive Iter- eign Minister Simon, for instance, sitting in friendly conference with the man who likened him to a whited sepulchre. The decision was said to rest mainly with Prune Minister Ramsay Macdonald and Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, who are said to be ready to consider Lloyd -George's "new deal" proposals on their merits consistent with retaining the unity and har- mony of the Cabinet.

St. D_unstan’s Basilica was named after Dunstan. one of the most re- novmed English prelates before the Norman conquest. He was born near Glastonbury in 925, in the reign of Edwardthe Elder, and the records of his life abound with legends and miracles. In 96'! he was appointed Bishop of Winchester by King Ed- gar, and‘ three years later attain- ed to thc primacy on the death of Odo; thus acquiring the highest ec- clesiastical dignity in England, that of Archbishop of Canterbury, at the comparatively early age of thirty- five. encefo wnfll his career was one of unbroken prosperity and triumph, both as a prelato and statesman. The predominating feat- ures in his character, in addition to strong religious impressions, were energy and ambition. He dJnd in 987. His father was Heorstan, andrhis mother Cynrethryth.

Professor Frank D. Adams, 3.80., M.Sc., DSc, Ph.D., LL.D., D.C.L., Emeritus Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science, McGiil University, and Mr. Morris W. Wilson, Presi- dent end Managing Director of The Royal Bank of Canada have accept- ed the chairmanship and vice chair- manship of the Welcome Baden Pownll Campaign for Montreal Dis- trict. Dr. Adams has been connect- ed with the Boy Scout organization in Montreal since its inception. From 1926 to 1930 he was president of the Montreal Scout Council and from 1930 to i933 occupied the posi- tion of District Commissioner for Montreal. At the present time he is one of the honorary vice-presi- dents of the Montreal Scout Coun- oil. Mr. Wilson has also b’een for several years an honorary vice-presi- dent of the Montral Scout Council. At the time c: the last Boy Scout campaign, the "Coming-of-Age" campaign in i980, Dr. Adams and Mr. Wilson occupied similar posi- tions.

The despised Jew is having a sorry time of it in that erstwhile land of light and leading, Ger- many. The Social Honor Court of Northmark, sitting in Harburg-Wll- helmsburg, refused to “give the usual consideration" to a.

that these was a. natural pride on the part of our people which caus- ' ed our farmers to hesitate when the term “bankruptcy” was used. Parliament realized that there were many in financial difficulties for reasons not of their own making, who would shun taking advantage of legislation involving what might be suggcsterfas thc stigma of bank- ruptcy.

sion of Parliament provides for ss- sistaiicc for both types of men. To the men who is hopelessly involved the benefits of bankruptcy legisla- tion are brought to his very local- ity. Instead of seeking the Official Receiver under the Bankruptcy Act in the populous centres at an ex- pense which he cannot afford, he can go to an Ofllcial Receiver in any county or judicial district or Canada who can take his assign- ment and deal with it summarily and inexpensively.
