CONSERVATIVES H EAR DR PATTERSON COMING EVENTS has been the habit of holding conferences, which originated rEurope among the political heads of the European nations. Talk was always cheap, so i t was altogether natural th a t a bankrupt world should indulge in an orgy of it. Most of these inferences, as we know: were, fruitful of nothing except the sfirrinff up of more, bad blood, chiefly because the majority of the representatives attended with the fixed idea of putting it over the other fellow in a diplomatic* way. A few useless nacts were drawn up, useless owing to the fact th a t either there was little o r no intention on the part of some of the signatori^ Xf keeping, th e ir word l(m e r than convenient, or they had not the power and knew a t the tim e they had not the ^^"^^Now*^^?mayors have m et in conference, and Gerry M< Geer has made the sam|e initial blunder as he n ^ e here denouncing the money lenders or in other words the investing There was as little common sense In the suggestion that the rate on all outstanding municipal debts be cut to 8 per cent. To do so, as every mayor knows or ought to know, would crash the whole financial structure,of Canada overnight. And apart from this such talk is d p tro y in g , the faith of the in­ vestor in the security offered by municipal: bonds, the very thing which chiefly induced him to buy. them. j , The crux of th e whole m atter is not bond interest or even unem ploym ent relief, .but the continued d rift o y e rjh e years of our population from th e land to rthe cities. In the figures of unenuployment re lief given to th e conference i t was revealed that the total POPulat»5Winnipeg. Calgary, Halifax, and Regma was 2,821,400, the total of unemployed 402,936. I t should be added th a t the total population of Canada a t , the 1931.. census was. officially given as only 10,876,786,"and thih total will be approiamately the same today." Aiid, if our seven largest cities contain be­ tween one-fourth and one-fifth of Canadas population, the addition of that of' the otKer, hundreds of sn^U towm Would probably show th a t the minority and 'iKrt th e m ajority of Canadians live on; the. landyU No wonder.< the unemployment figures have ^reached; tl^ .h flfid r^^ . o f of any country's prC^^rity* f l ■ " ' > ">/ 'Vy" It is only righ t th a t we should see "our ^em ployed have adequate food, clothing and shelter, but a t the present rate of spending on unemployment r^ ie f it wi not be many years before we days ago in an addre'sS Hon* H.
