VIIPURI BUT Sllli RETREAT

Soviets Reported To Have Lost Heavily In North East.

HEZLBINQ, March 8 —(AP) Finnish trops continued their with- drawal toward new defence lines at some points on the western side of the Kiirelian isthmus today but re- Dortcd they still were holding off Russian forces pounding furiously at the gates of the strategic Vllpuri from three sides.

If The Principle- Has Been Accepted By The Conser- vative Party It Is Because Mr. Mackenzie King And Some Of His Colleagues Have Refused To Entertain It.

The following from the Montreal Gazette's editorial columns shows our contemporary is now wholeheartedly behind Dr. Manion’s National Government policy:

The gravity of the issue which is before the Canadian people is so great that men who in any other circumstances would- have avoided the political arena arc now offering

as zrpziiriotic duty. To the

extent in which this becomes general the effect is bound to be a higher standard of parliamentary ability and par-

a time for all good men to

come to the aid, not of a party, but of the country in which they live, and good men are entering the lists. A very notc- worthy example of this is supplied in the candidature of Colonel the Hon. Herbert A. Bruce, former Lieutenant- Governoi- of Ontario, who is running in t.hc Piirkdnle divi- sion of Toronto as a national government supporter. Em- inent surgeon, distinguished soldier, author and states- man, Colonel Bruce well edrned the retirement which he has enjoyed in recent years and from which he now em- erges as a practical expression of the high conception of civic responsibility which has always governed his actions. “There are too many people,” able arm-chairs, critically proclaiming what should be

done, who are content to wait in the hope that someone

else will come along and do it. Believing as I do that noth-

ing else matters until the war is done, I feel called upon

zit this time of crisis i0 give what help I can to bring about

a National Government which will do more than anything i else to unite Canada in a maximum war effort...” these reasons Colonel Bruce is prepared “to make a great personal sacrifice in ordcr that we may rcndci‘ CYDP)’ pos~ sible assistance to the Mother Country in her time of need." Colonel Bruce is setting a very fine example of disin- terested devotion to the Dominion, not the first of such examples by any means, but one that is peculiarly striking

ROME. March 3-(AP)—Ar_oused by Britain's newly-enforced ‘clock- ade against German coal shipments to Italy. Premier Mussoliniis Gov- ernment today presented a strong- Lv-ivortled protest to the British Embassy.

The Gvernmentb action. which name within 36 hours after the British clamped on the blockade, was accompanied by a bitter press attack by Roberto Farlnsoci. out- spoken member of the Fascist Grand Council, who termed Bri- tain's move “an act of arrogance and Insolence."

Writing in Ii Regime Fascists, the only newspaper to comment on the coal controversy, Fnrlnccci said the blockade was “the re- action to gar refusal to sell arms

to Englan . "Bea des it was hoped to oblige

our country to buy coal from WUsh mines and put our ships in peril in the North he said. “When a fight is waged inst irnarmed populations and no a- gainst armies, any reaction is leg- timate."
