Helping The Unemployed

(Special to the Guardian)

OFITAWA, Ont., Aug., 5-Twcnty five hundred families and about nine thousand single men have been placed on farms as a measure of unemployment relief in the cit- ties since, in the late winter, the goyernment worked out this plan. Financial assistance is not provid- ed, but the locations of small hold- ings, the price of them and other helpful information is provided. Evidently there are all kinds of such openings with many people u employed in the cities ready to avail themselves of them. The oo- ordinated organization of Domin- ion and Provincial governments and railways is getting in touch with them and is anxious to do so.

(Special to the Guardian) OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 5—Highway construction will be ooncintfbted upon throughout Canada as a means of taking care of single un- employed men. Thls intimation was given today by Hon. G. D. Robertson, Minister of Isa/bar dis-

The Fisheries lllinistel‘ in reply assured Mr. Mc- Lurc that if the Gorernlnent could recoveruntler the indemnity bond the claims of the crew would be paid as an act of grace. He pointed out that there was ab- solutely no legal responsibility on the Government in this connection, and regretted that apparently the members of the crew hurl been misled in the corres- c: cited by Mr. lllcLure. He regretted that he was unable to further comply with Mr. McLurds re- quest, as the Queen's County representative had been “nlost insistent, persistent and consistent in demand- iny that these claims be pressed.

On the former occasion I present- ed letters showing that the crew of the Alma hnd not been paid, des- pite the fact that many promises of payment had been made. I wish l to read a letter under date of July 25. 1930, addressed to one of the crew of that ship. The particular letter in question is addressed to , Lemuel Winchester, and is as fol- lows:

"Many thanks for your kind felicitations regarding my ap- pointment to the Senate- We ull- derstood when leaving Ottawa that the wages due on the Alma were to be puid at once. As there was no word of it lust week we wired the minister to have no fur- ther delay in effecting a settle- ment, but we have no word yet.

We expect it to be attended to at once. Yours truly, JOHN E- SINCLAIR.

Collapse lRussia ’s Inevitable, Ferguson

Scheme Says

Communist Form Of Organization

l Committee l Ii Already Being Shelved.

TORONTO, Aug. 5.—'I'he ﬁve year ‘plan of Soviet Russia. is doomed to l failure, according to Hon. G. How- Enrd Ferguson, Canadian High Com-

missioner in London, England, and

{former Conservative Premier of 1Ontario. In an interview given at ithe provincial parliament buildings ‘here today, he asserted his belief that the collapse of the plan was inevitable.

The Communist committee form of organization was already being shelved, he said, in favor of the one man type of control. Soviet youth was picking up education rapidly.

Too much dependence was being placed by the country upon the advice of imported foreign tech- nical experts, he declared, in the rehabilitation program of the country. “There is only one Stalin" he commented.

Russian exports to England con- stltuted a serious problem, he said. Butter was now vleing will: grill" and 610mm; from the Soviet country in the English "They have a wonderful orllﬂhllilt‘ ion, but in spite of what they 111W‘! been doing, I honestly believe il- will topple," he said.

Greater Empire trade in the fut- ure was predicted by the former Premier. Next year excursion part- ies of British business men would cross the Atlantic to visit Canada and see what the country had to offer them, he forecast.
