With regard 1o farm labour, Mr. Gardiner said, there were 429,000 single men on farms. farm labourers and sons of farmers, on March 31 last, about the time an attempt was mudc to “freeze” labour 011 the farms. The pro- bability is that this number will decrease rather than mcmse, 11nd an attempt will have to be made "at reorganizing the labor available and move it from place to place, in ordcr 1o assist i11 the harvesting of crops in one area at one sca- son, and i11 another place at a different season. 11nd moving [rum one place to another as the season requires."

A Good Political Speech

judged u s, political effort, says the Vancouv- er Province, Prime Minister Mackenzie King's final speech on the conscription issue was a very good one. It is doubtful if Mr. King ever 111:1dc a better_ It had lift snd verve. It was full of hard and telling blows. It scored points 10 no end, It challenged the opposition and hinted at- perlmps even forecast —an early appeal to 1111i cvmulryn It roused the enthusiasm of the 111cm- hers of the right of Mr. Speaker- most of thern at least —end set them cheering and pounding their desklids, It was a political speech in the good old style.

Obviously Mr. King enjoyed making that Spcctlb lrlc lct himself go in it, as he seldom lcts himself go. He had a topic which really ap- pealed 1o him and on which he could wax e11- thusiastic and eloquent. That topic was himself, hi< pledges, hi5 ambitions, his desire for 1l1c C011‘ fidcuce of 1l1c llousc and country i11 his lcud- crsliip and 1l1c nefarious conduct 0f 1l1c (‘q-Ptol- tlon in seeking to reduce that confidence.

King dc- llvcrwl five 11111111l1s zigo on 1l1c p10 Eciic- l1 “'11s a spcvcrh of the same typc, pointing i11wurd to himself and his party and 01111111111 1o the opposition, but going l1ar<lly any further, scarce- l_v touching 1l1c great issue of the war, which is 1l1c only issue that rcnlly intcrcsts 1l1c pcoplt; of Czmndrf 111 1l1c 111111111111.

Ileroism of a boy, described by the Daily Mirror as “bravest of the war" was related by Gunlayer john Wood of H.M.S.
