RELIEF HAS BEEN A FAILURE

For a long time the Dominion, the
Provincial and: the Municipal govern-
ments have been paying out many
millions of dollars for so-called relief.
Hut that relief has been car-imarked
for groceries; sometimes. for clothing
{n little bit) and once in a while an-
other small amount for rent. The lat-
ton, however, did not always find, its
wry to the landlord. In fact some
quite heavy rent bills are owing. In-
sxufar as the unemployed, and a good
phoiber who would not work anyway,
were kept from starvation is concern-
cl, relief has been a success. But a
event many other ~ businesses have
xnffered heavy losses becatse so many
people had no money for anything but
fuod. :

Relief (for food and dry goods on-
Iv} is uo longer wood enough, The
Doeninion government must. figure out
something else. The many thousands
of men who have been kept in idleness
for so long must be put to work at
wages so that they may pay their bills
wud bay. what what they and their
lependeuts require,

The small business man has been
pushed to the wall just as hard as he
tu stand and thousands of them are
ready to crack, In fact a-great many
hnve for a long time been broke and
(id not know it, or refused te recog-
hize it. This is a matter for the Do-
minion government, and unless there
ix something real under taken by that
goverment very quickly, the long suf-

workers and bring ‘about a change dis-
tasteful to the present government.

A new department was created at
Ottawit last session to aid in the de-
velopment of the tourist traffic to
Conmuda, Statistics show that the
coming of visitors to Canada is one of
the. really big businesses, It is esti-
mated that they leave hundreds | of
milltons of dollars in the country and

srid to’ cireulate freely. The people
of Canada are asked to co-operate with
the Dopartment. in making the visitors
welcome and showing them every
courtesy, and to not raise prices he-
cause a visitor happens along.

The object of the department is a
woyzthy one and no doubt a lot of the
big hotels, the oil companies and the
big stores in the big cities, and the
play gy "ond that are free will receive
quite a lot of help from this business.

The north is noted for its hospital-
ity, hut so far-it lias had but littte op-
portunity to show any of it; The tour
ists do not scom to get this far, ex-
cept a very few, and they have not all
heen of the most desirenble kind. If
the government would spend ‘some of
ifs money on the highway coming ta
the north so that tourists enuld get in
there is uo doubt but that the peaple
here would do their part. Tt would at
least be nice to see a few strange cars
around once in a while.
