The Paramount Need

"Now I tell you plainly that this

I will not pretend that I can see any real promise of permanent security until we have lightened this awful burden of the national debts."

Some municipalities had default-

ed and some provinces would have defaulted but for federal aid.

"What do we propose to do in

these circumstances? We promise, my fellow Canadians, to ask the people of this country who are the creditors of the Dominion govern- ment, the Canadian National Rall- ways and of the provinces and of the municipalities, to agree to a scheme of conversion upon a substantially lower rate of interest than that now provided for.

Solution of thé unemployment

problem would be the greatest possible step in the direction of improving the standard oi liv- ing, said Mr. Bennett. Political opponents had said much about his pledge to end unemployment and he had no objection.

"I did say that I would end un-

employment. I would not have you in any doubt upon that point. I made that statement at the City of Moncton uurlng the campaign of 1930. I repeat that statement here tonight. I make it as sincer- ely ncw as I did then.

"After five years of experience

of the right and wrong way ip which to deal with the problems of the depression, I have finally in a sense reluctantly but quite irrevo- cably, determined on what we conceive to be the only practical solution of the problem in its present. form.”

“In a moment I shall tell you

what this solution is. Before I do, it may be fair and profitable to set up and contrast my own point of view and my own statements with the apparent point of view of Mr. King, as reflected in his state- ments and undertakings. In 1930 Mr. King promised you a commission to deal with the unemployment situation. In 1935 he promises you a commission once again.

"As I have most sincerely said,

this is not time for unhelpful con- demnation of the plans of our po- litical opponents.

They also embrace changes in the age of` retirement from work.

"This new economic trend has

already influenced the retirement schemes of certain private enter- prises. And these enterprises, after careful estimate of all factors in- volved, have met the new condit- ions by determining upon a retire- ment age of 60 years.

"The government recognizes this

principle. And, in conformity with it. will introduce into parliament legislation to make it effective."

The scheme was the only means

by which youth could secure em- ployment and all the people secur- ity and leisure.

“It is a bold, `and, I believe will

prove to be a triumphant, attempt to put an end to this curse of un- employment, to free the labour market from the dead weight of 'the unemployed, to put purchasing power in the hands of a greater number, to effect. in a sound and equitable way, a measure of the redistribution of the wealth of the land. __

“The application of this principle

will mean, in the first year of its operation, the withdrawal from the labour market of 120000 people, and provide that number of jobs for younger workers."

Even this, Mr. Bennett explained,

would not take care of every one of the unemployed ~ but it would take away a great many and pave the way for other measures to bring the number down to an irreducible minlmrun.

Ancillary schemes which might be

used were: housing, on which a start had already been made, forest conservation, f a r m settlement and development of mining areas. Co-operation of the province.; would

be necessary in these projects.

Seasonal unemployment could not

be eliminated under any single scheme but a central authority to regulate various schemes of public works would moderate its present extremes. Roughly 10 per cent of the Canadian workers had always been unemployed and the unem- ployment insurance system was de-

signed to care for them.

Another phase of the unemploy-

ment crisis was the inability of unemployed parents to train their children properly. said Mr. Ben- nett. The government had decided to “ask parliament for a sum of money adequate to ensure the training of our boys and girls de- nied proper education because of conditions for which neither they nor their parents are in any way

responsible.”

Stevens Appeals To Maritime Fishermen

(C. P. By Gu1lrdlan’s Special Wlrc)l BRIDGEWATER, N. S.. Sept.. 9.--

The Price Spreads Commission found that in the fishing business of the Maritime Provinces there had been concentration of control, Hon. Hul-I. Stevens, Reconstruction Party leader told a Lunenburg County audience here tonight. One rosult of this concentration had been gradual elimination of buyers and no competition in prices. I-le believ- ed great corporations, who handled fish. had used the fishermen as s convenience.

When chain stores in Central

Canada refused to pay a fair price for fish, the price to the fisherman was cut. It was cut in some cases to half a cent a pound. No firm or corporation had a right to exploit the man who went to sea, and risk- ed his life, cutting him to a half cent for his fish. If he was elected to power, a board would be estab- lished to see the fishermen go; a fair price. Fishermen would be paidg a living wage.

Prof. Shaw Addresses

Rotary Club §

There were formerly six rules df

Rotary, but these have new beeh reduced to two, and I will not.bh surprised if it is not brought down to one, the Golden Rule, said Rotarian Prof, I-I. H, Shaw, in adi- dressing the Rotary Club yesteié- ,day on “Rotary Education.” 1

Rotarian Shaw, in part, directed

his address, which was delivered in his usual whimsical and humorouls vein, to the newly elected Rotarian, Harry G. Richardson, who was int irroduced yesterday by Past Pi-esi’r dent Will Rowe and charged by Pact President Walter Grant. -

Mr. Shaw first dealt with thb

origin of Rotary. It owed its birth to the loneliness of a lawyer, Paid Harris, in the great city of Chit- cago. Starting with four clubs in 'that city in 1905. during the past thirty years it has now become A

world wide force with membership in many count-ries. Its origin motto “He profits most who serves best," was afterwards, changed to "service above self.” -

The speaker then gave a review

of an article in a recent issue of the Rotarian Magazine entitled “Rotary under the Microscope," It was lmpartiaily and thoroughly surveyed by s. committee of seven, and their findings appear in a`300 page volume entitled “Rotary with a question mark." This commit- tee found among other things that one of the main functions of Ro- tary is to educate business men about civic problems and train them for leadership in dealing uwith that service, to train them

for their obligations towards so- ciety, to promote .business leader-_ ship in the broadest sense by con- centrating their energies i.n the education of the members.

The Rotary wheel, like a bicycle

wheel, must keep turning or it is liable to wobble, The members are the cogs in the wheel which gen- erates the energy from the centre, and if any cogs are broken, the wheel naturally does not function so smoothly.

Personally Mr. Shaw believed

that with the creation of a world wide fellowship all the various alms of Rotary would be accom- plished. 1

Past President .I-I. L. Palmer pre-

sided and Rotarion Alban Wachsgj meuth of Montreal was a guest. _-

This was Stork Day at Rotary,

and Dr. Giddings. who has become a happy parent since the last meeting, was presented with the emblematic Rotary mug by Ro-- tarion George J. Tweedy, the last- preceding recipient.
