April 7, 1934 Two local merchants reported yesterday that their business was 100 percent better than it was a year ago and several others mentioned substantial gains. That looks like real progress, due to some extent to the fact that the local shipyard has been kept busy. For that we have to thank the,Canadian National Railways. There have been other industrial improvements in the district .such as that in mining, logging and fishing. There is every indication that 1934 will prove to be' a good year, the first year of recovery. A report received yesterday from Ottawa says there has been a marked improvement in business conditions throughout Canada. The economic index advanced from 8-1 to UO. The gains were in practically every 'line. BRIDGING THE GAP Evidently Great Britain is about to makean attempt to bridge the .gapiwtween poverty and plenty by substituting a parliamentary inquiry. No less an old Consei-vative newspaper than The Times is the medium used for issuing the call to the .legislators of the country to make, the effort. Looked at from the point of industry what the country lacks is purchasing power. Looked at from the point of labor, the country needs the right for every man to earn a living in an bqnest manner at reasonable rates of pay with plenty of leisure for recreation and enjoyment of life. There happens to be practical . unanimity between ? l. ..A 1 ? -.A I 1 A til 1 i 1 Al Hiuusinaiisis ami iar)oriiesraiinougn noi ior me same reason. The industrialist needs customers and the laborite needs work and wages with the power to enjoy. We have pointed out scores of times that there is plenty of food, and clothes ,on one side and men willing and able to work on the other yet, with their families living on the dole because there is no one to employ them, on the other. There does not seem to be ibrains enough in the world to evolve systems which will bring these together without destroying our initiative and iscrappmg all that we have inherited from the past. However, in all countries efforts are being rrt'rtdo't'o;ard this end and there is much experimentation joi Jig on..
