Some municipalities had default-

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

stand behind that promise."
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. And yet. when
the leader of a great party, after
watching this tragic cavalcade from
the side lines for five long years.

Even lf conditions prevailing at
the Peak of the boom years were
restored, the numbers of unem-
ployed would not be reduced to
the former level. said Mfr. Bennett.
In the interval igbor-saving ma-
chinery. eiimination of duplication
and growing concentration of busi-
ness had brought new factors into
the situation and meds it impos-
sible to again employ t-he same
number of people. In addition it
was estimated there were 900.000
more persons in the country ‘to be
employed.
“Therefore I come to my propo-
sal. In my opinion and in the opin-
ion of my colleagues. the first. step

‘move from the labour market all
those workers who have reached the
age where, especially under' condit-
ions of today, the worker-‘s social
interest. the states economic irr-
terest, equally suggest the wisdom
of retirement.
, “It is. of course, clear to all of
us that the old rules governing
hours of labour and years of labour
can no longer apply, because we
live in changed economic condit-
ions. That fundamental truth for-
ces fundamental changes in our
whole economic system. These
changes. embrace changes in
conditions of work, hours of
work. 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.
