More Vigilance Necessary

This tirade vigilance on the part of the Canadian autb, oritics the more necessary, The captives were men with a considerable knowledge of the gcography of North America. 'l'l1ey were even aware of the wartime regulation about registration certiﬁcates. One at least had fortiﬁed himself with an identi- ﬁcation card stolen from a seaman on the Atlantic transport. No doubt thcv had rcad i11 Germany of the recapture of 0111.- of their compatriots 11111051.- flight endcd with his failure to produce a registra- tion card when he was challenged by a sentry on the Victoria Bridge at Montreal.

Some of the prisoners had maps of Canada showing the main routes of escape to the United ‘States where friendly German Consuls would facilitate their return to the Fatherland. Othcrs were provided with a change of clothing and Canadian n1oney' to make escape easier. Their recapture was largely due to the" intelligence of civilians.

It would surely be a simple matter for Ottawa to notify in advance the police authorities of the various Provinces through which trainloads of war prisoners were about to pass and to advise them promptly of escapes. Mr. Conant is right in molesting asninst the delay which occurred in ‘ notifying the Provincial Police about the flight from the prison train at Smiths Falls.

Plans for the transfer of British industries and key workers from Britain to Attstralia are being discussed between Australia and British Govern- mcnt rcprcseuttltivcs. Political observers say that plans for the expansion of Australia's secondary industries already have been the subject of specu- lation in Britain and Canada. The most important industries discussed in relation to Australia arc shipbuilding and aircraft nlanlifactllring. Another point of discussion is the need of safeguarding the l§111pirc's_supplics of raw materials for Britain

and the Dominions.

Prenlicr Hepburn complains that although there were 42 reporters in the gallery at the Ot- tawa. conference, the Canadian Press reported that “we walked out.” The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, he said, broadcast throughout Can- ada that “we walked out, and I had to protest the next day." (The erroneous report was not carried by The Canadian Press.) “There was nothing farther from the truth that the Ontario delegation walked out," l\11r. Hepburn said. “\Vc were there at the end singing ‘God Save the Kingl-arid I don't mean Mackenzie King."

‘_‘\Vomen and children ﬁrst” is the unwritten British law when rescues are being made. Today m England this is further restricted by the elim- ination, at their own desire, of women. The Minister of Education announces that the ﬁrst ‘item in lilnglands faith is the "Rights of Child- _ren.” “No child in England shall suffer from Hitler’; blockade” writes Mr. Michael Foot in London Standard. His ration is the ﬁrst respon- sibility of the State. We build his body so that 1hc may be strong to face the future. “No child in England shall ﬁnd his claim to knowledge strip- ped from him by the blitzkrieg. We build his mind because we know that freedom can only he protected by those W110 can think for themselves. Every child that we can we shall save from the bombers. His body, nerve and soul is counted too precious by us to be lcft to the indiscriminate ravages of cities under ﬁrs. This young Eng- land we shall construct in the heat of battle as an example and inspiration to the dead cities of Europe. It is the children that we are ﬁghting for, and across those territories the children are beginning to ﬁght for themselves. Behind the German soldiers who parade through Paris run urchins who wavc their arms as if swimming, making a swishing noise with their mouths and shriek derisively. ‘Angletcrre.’ England is their hope. Let England proclaim thelr Charter.”
