(‘housing An Aim

Many may iliiihk that the select-

peace. Whether- tliat be so m" not is beside the point. Let us, for argu- ments sake, assume that ihe selection of an aim in peace time is diificuliﬁ-that is no reason why it should be avoided. The hard fact remains that he u-hc chooses an aim and slicks to it will make his xvay in life _ and he who does not will drift atiilcssiy like a ship without a rudder‘. Of course. I cannot venture to suggest towards what specific goal you should direct yourselves - lliat. is a mutter for each individ- ual to dccidefor himself, Thlat free choice of action is one of the great blessings of our way of life in Canada an&—one-o£~~obu\~~—m0st cherished possessions. But 1' can say thisz-If every in- dividual has a. clear purpose tn life and is prepared to work for it, he will not. only benefit him- self, bu; achieve the great aim of making his country happier. stron- Qi-Tll; and more prosperous.

Morale ssentiel

2—Another principle of “.- which has its counterpart 1n peace is-"the rrialnteira-nce of morale". ‘

Plietory affords endless examples that success in ivai" depends more on moral attributes than on met. erlal possessions.

Self Rellhnce

Now. how do we interpret this in clvii life? I think it means smply that as we go along we should build on a firm foundation. lit means also that each individual must, so far as he ls able, be a self-reliant and self-sustaining member of the community. He must not expect someone else to 100k after him if, by his own ef- forts. he is capable of looking nfteu‘ himself. This is what Boy Scout training teaches. Nationally I think it means the broadening of this same individual philosophy. We must ensure that our home baseis secure against threats from within as well as from with- out. I do not propose to dwell on the .need of aimed forces i.n time of peace, for I think it requires nc emphasis on my part to stress that we must be secure in the broadest national sense if we are u; be sure that our own way of life will no»! again be threatened. 5—Surprise is yet another prin- ciple which has u most effective and powerful influence in war, and its moral effect ls very great, Every endeavour must be made to surprise the enemy whLqt guarding egelnst being aunrlsed oneself, By the wuy o! surprise, results out of all proportion to the effort. expended can be obtained. and in some operations when other faotccs are unfavorable, sur- prise may be essential to sticcess. sllrﬂfiee can be achieved strate- Kicully. tMl-if-‘ﬂ-lly. 0r by exploiting new weapons or material. The elements of surprise are - seurecy, concealment, deception, originality, audacity and rapidity.

We do not, on the other hand. wish to be surprised ourselves either at home or abroad by mine met or political movement vilhleh Ls deterimental to our ‘well- being as a. nation.
