“The Corps Turned Down"

Under the above heading the Toronto Globe G and Mail comments on the rejection by the King Government of the Canadian Corps Association's national vocational plan which, it says, “ap- parently means that nothing of a comprehensive nature is desired for dealing with youth unem- ployment. No substitute is offered on a similar scale. Ottawa seems to prefer to do a little here and 1 little there, making a gesture with the pro- blem while waiting for conditions to right them‘ selves.”

The plan of the Canadian Corps, which is coniposed of war vettrzins’ organizations, is to provide for \'L|CEl.ll0|lZll training centres Where $0,000 young mcn could be restored to moral and physical vigor and taught useful occupa-

" tions. ‘‘It was,” says the Globe and Mail, "too big an idea for the Government to grasp, too costly, and besides it had not been worked out as a po- litical policy."

Copies of the booklet containing the plan were sent to all members of Parliament, Federal and Provincial. Only two members of Parlia- ment comnniniczitcd with the Corps as a result. Not a private member rose in the House of

j Commons to sponsor it. When the Govem- ment’s unemployment relief measures were dis- cussed only twenty-five members of the House were in attendance.

‘The Minister's reply to the Corps states that

. the cost of the scheme would be from $50,000.

ooo to $100,000,000 annually. A carefully pre-

pared estimate by the Corps placed the first year’s cost for 20,000 men at $25.220.000. the

second years for 30,000 at $30,580,000, and the

I third for 50,000 at $29,150,000. The correspond-

ence revealed also a difference of opinion as to

the extent of unemployed youths, the Corps’

estimate being 400,000.

The figures and accompanying diagrams pro- tray vividly the rapid growth of unemployment following the onset of the world depression, to a point in 1932 and 1933 (the mid-term of the

The courage sliowriby manyof these birds when wounded has been commemorated. One pigeon numbered among the heroes of the Meriin Road in October, 1917, struggled home late the morning after the day it was released. The bird had one leg broken and the message carrier was driven into his body. Pigeons carrying a plea for relief saved 1,50o,Italians surrounded by Austrians on the Piavejn July, 19x8. A Brit- ish pigeon thatl lost a leg is in a museum at Washington. It lost a leg while flying 25 miles in 25 minutes to bring the information that saved the "lost” American battalion on the Argonne. It is odd and yet appropriate than an air force should be aided as a last resort by the bird whose flying it has exceeded. Nature intervenes \vhen invention succumbs. The bird on the wing, as the soldier on foot. must still be trusted to bear the brunt of battle.

Business in retail hardware stores has been greatly improved during May and June, fol- lowing what was rather a quiet early spring per- iod, according to Hardware and Metal, Toronto. Both seasonable and §laple lines, for city and farm use, have been steadily increasing in sale in the last two months. County trade is par- ticularly bright in outlook, while city trade has picked up considerably during June. Early pre- parations are under way for the harvest, and haying time is not far off. Many items of farm equipment are coming into much heavier de-

They do things in a big way for the farmers at Washington. The House of Representatives has just occepted the Senate's unbudgetedt $338,- 000,000 farm air proposals, thus raising to more than a billion dollars the Agriculture De- partment's 1940 Supply Bill. A score of ad- vocates of large relief appropriations from New York, Boston and Chicago voted with the farm group in an effort to obtain rural support for their demands that restrictions on amounts and methods of expenditure of funds be removed from the relief bill. Party lines failedlto hold on the roll-cell vote of 180 to 175, by which the House accepted the Senate's $225,000,000 ap- propriation for parity payments to farmers. On the standing vote of 145 to I00, by which it adopted the $113,000,000 Senate proposal for surplus-crop removal, the same condition ob- tained_ ’ ‘
