'l‘Oh what a tangled web Iwe~wea'v_e i Whenfirst we practise-to decei_ve.”.

Practical denionstration of this dictum

is being given 0211)' by the

Patriot. When the question of

Union Government was_first-mooied an

Sir “Robert Borden laid down the funda-

mental policv of Union to be conscription

the'Patriot declared its unswerving con- viction that conscription was the_oiily fair-, equitable and just system of providing men for our Canadian forces. There can be no doubt about this, and in order that there may be no equivocation we give the Pa-

ti°iot’s own words: -

"'l`lie Patriot has iie\'ei' s\\"ei‘\'e(l

upon this inipoi'taiit` iiiatter. l<`ii-st. last and all the tiiiie \\;e have stated that we are iii t'a\'oiii' ot`_consi-riptioii. We believe that the priiieiple ot` eoii- ,

sl_}ription is riglit and that the only 'Way to treat the people t`ai|'ly :ind to give that :issistaiiee to the l>i':i\'e sol- iliers at the l`i'oiit that is iieeess:|i'y is lil' the adoption of eonse|'iptioii."

i - The Halifax Chronicle took a 'similar '-'- stand and declared:

Iv' "\\'li_\'. tlieii. have we taken this eoni'se‘.’ Iieeaiise. (toil helping us, we can do no other and keep our loyalty clean and look the soldiers iii the face _ when they come home. lt is not l'oi' iiotliiiig that oi' those l'1iiglisli~spe:ik- ing Liberals \\'lio stood with Sir \\'il- frid in the last' Iloiise. all but four have - left him on this issiie. Say ratlier. he has left theiii, for they and we. still stand with those noble Liberals. Lloyd

Geoi-g-e and _\sqiiit'li and that great I \niei-icaii Liberal. Presiileiit \\'ilsoii." `

,_ Every province in Canada, except Que-

bec, has endorsed that stand of the Patriot. including this province. But the Patriot,

back on its convictions and led an anti- ¥I.he'avem,,e va,1ué`0f conscription campaign, which tended to 1 _'° '

volunteer. This medal will serve as a sou-

of the part taken in the War by the reci- pient. As such it will equal in value the medal worn by the man who has served at the front; in each case it will be proof that “he hath done what he could.”

In this province, although not _included

in the i'ig`ures given above, there is a' se- _rious shortage of labourers for such work as boys of the ages specified could do as well as men. _lf we are to increase our pro- lduction to the extent that we should, in view of the great need, we also must adopi some such means as this. There are lot' of boys under military age who would gladly do their bit in helping on the wa-' and there is no better way than to engage in food production. _We trust the matte' will be taken hold of before it is too lat- and that we too shall shortly. be able to boast of a good sized battalion of soldierf.
