Advertising and Circulation Telephone 98 Editor and Reporters Telephone 80 Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations DAILY EUJTION -km Thursday, August 7, 1930 - CONGRATULATIONS TO BENNETT The Daily News offers its congratulations-to-Premier, Bennettipn his succession to the most important office in the Dominion of Canada. Durjng the recent election we opposed him and his party but now that the people have chosen, it is for the whole country to get behind tneir premier and support him in everything he does for the benefit of the country. We do not believe in a nagging policy. We do Hot think it pays anyone. Premier Bennett will be in office for four or five years. He will head a strong party and will doubtless surround himself with good men. He will have the best possible opportunity to carry out his policy and by the end of that time we shall be able to tell whether it has been for the go6d of the countiy or not. We hope it will be, for we do not want the country to suffer. It is much more important that the country shall prosper than that the Liberals be riied to power. We do not wish to be able to say "We told ymuso." It would be much better for all concerned to be aUata say "we are glad you have succeeded." It mqyjbe well for us all to remember that the country is mucrr greater than any party. Also we might remember that the great mass of the people are not particularly con r i i i. 1 1 1 i 1 cerneu aooui panics dui mucn mora mem. a. Some strong party men affect to believe that all the brains, all the honesty and all the progress are on their sideOey also affecf to believe the converse, which is that all the idiots, all the rogues and all the reactionaries are on the tjft? side. Let us get rid of that idea. There are just as good men on one side as the other and perhaps better. Time will tell. At any rate this is Mr. Bennett's dify. Let him have our goodwill and our support. He needs it. STRAWS SOMETIMES INDICATE Straws sometimes indicate which way the wind blows. The journalist who filed an article with the Canadian Press yesterday told of some of our great men attending a luncheon. They cave them in the followincr order: Mr. ' -rtc Th Letter Box nina c,imvicirs recent " " 'n,,ciiAELfir;GE? The Editor, Dally News: In' connection with the proposed boxing match betwiea tho two In-2ftl ifoys, Nin,aGuVvich arid 'Bii&y Bagshaw. ' I would like, to the "in terest! of th? garne.and for tfcft.sa tisfalonbf local b&bcing lani who Want, to see thess bpjrs jaeet, fo.ex- laln'jvhat has transpired reard- ng tne arranging 01 a maten be tween them. In the first place, Nina challenged BiB.y for a six-round fight, and as Bagshaw's manager I accepted the challenge provided thr fight would be for ten rounds, and immediately entered into negotiations with him. After several interviews, aH details were agreed upon- amount of purse, weight. judges, etc.. and also the number of ro.-nds, namely ten. An agree ment was then drawn up accordingly and at the eleventh hour Nina refused to go through with It, stilting that he would only fight six rounds and denying that he had agreed 'to fight ten. 'it might further' be mentioned that the agreement, 'a' copy of which ii enclosed herewith, provides among other things, for Nina weighing in on ,thc day' of the ' match at 141 pounds, this giving him a four-pound weight advantage over Billy. .With regard to Nina's recent statement of August Sth that he will fight Bagshaw "any time, any place In a six-round contest at catchweights," I would like' to ctate that on the occasion of Nina's recent fight at Ketchikan, he advised me that he weighed 140 pounds and was not In the best of condition. This being the case. my thirty-five years of experience in conditioning ffghters tells tne that Nina In good condition would make 138 pounds at the most. It would therefore appear ridiculous inconsistency on his part that he now wants to fight at "catch aQouugoocugavern---- gjnal agreement, when J will be willing to offer a $200.00 purse for the match to be divided any way he wishes, winner take all or else-wise. Failing this and Inasmuch as .Nina wants to meet Bagshaw n a six-round match, I am quite agreeable and will send Bsujshaw. against him "any time, any place," provided there "ff no promoting, that to,ihe fight io be held in private and Nina can weigh a ton if he likes, this for a side bet of $200 cash. Please accept my thanks for your Kinanei m giving SDac? Bennett, Mr. King, Viscount Willingdon. That seems to ! in yur va,ued PaR covering "this nave been Ins idea of the order of precedence and he was i "er not far wrong. At a social function Viscount Willingdon would nave been almost the whole show but the other men are the choice of the people, the men who really govern. One is a figure head, the others are the real leaders. i PROPOSED AIR SERVICE Without, paving much knowledge as to the expense and the possible loss in operating, it is probable that the Canadian: people"would like to see an air service between London ami JjpitreaL Not only woultl it be an advantage in time of peaco but in case of war it would be a great thing to have a tried and tested operating service. It would be a great strength to the Empire. Many people would possibly object to mention of the war possibilities, but unfortunately we have not yet arrived at a period when we can feel anything like secure. Objectionable as it is, this phase has to be considered. CANADA WILL BENEFIT Canada is already benefiting from the drought and heat in the United States. The price of wheat is moving up because of it. While we;$ not jike the idea of benefiting at our neighbor's expensed we liiUKt renierhher thnt' ihov snmntfrnpn benefit at ours. We regret very much that the people of the United States have to suffer from something over which they have no control. However, this is one of the "acts of God" as the law calls it. Possibly before the year is over they will be glad to purchase wheat from this country. It will injure focal trade because it will do away with the dtsman4tfqr. free of. duty into th$jp latest ruling. NORTHERN B. C. BENEFITS Northern B, C. will benefit very greatlv from the big salmon run this season, The quantity of fish. is, so great that it is taxing the capacity of the canneries to handle it. It indicates that the scientists knew what they were talking about when they predicted a good fishing season. It also means that the fishermen will have money to spend when the seagon is over. Woman's work is never done. She; spends too tn).ich time talking to her friends over the telephone. OWEN FISHER. Twenty Years Ago In Prince.
