Cogent arguments are advanced in the Legion ‘brief as to why srtch "total war" effort is ne- kcessary. The gravity of the situation in Russia, ltlie new resources which the enemy is acquiring latid the certainty that Axis conquest means tlie end of all our civil and religious liberties, arc duly emphasized. The Government's pre- sent policy is “derogatory to the Catiarlian Will‘ effort. It should be removed without delay. lt also has a deterrent effect upon the minds of the people of the United States, whose continu- ed and increasing support we so sorely need.” The Legion “repudiatcs, and takes as a reflection on our Quebec compatriots, the statement often head that Canada is unable to wage ‘total war’ because of the reluctance or tinwillingness of that Province." It also reminds the Prime Minister "an entirely tron-partisan body. It re- presents a great cross-section 0f men and wo- men throughout the country, of all classes and creeds, who have served arid are still endeavor- ing to serve and have no concern other than the truest and best interests of our country.” Finally it recalls l\Ir. King's own words in his speech on return from England: "There is only one way to meet ‘total war’ and that is by ‘total effort’ —- cffort not for a day, or a week, or a month, but every day until Victory is won.”

The Legion brief should receive the consid- eration it is entitled to from the King Govern- ment. It is substantially in line with opinions which has been voiced on more than one oc- casion in Parliament and in the press.

President Roosevelt is profiting by the unfor- tunate experience of Prime hlillistcr King, and has started taking the world into his confidence in war preparations, An Office of Facts and Fig- ures has been established to keep the United States people informed of the progress of the defence program and of defence policies and activities. The office will assemble and arrange for dissemination of whatever dcfcuce informa- tion may be announced appropriate in a time of national emergency. Mr. Archibald MacLeish will be its director. He will retain his present position as Librarian of Congress.

Alas, the promise was not fulfilled, and there were many sore hearts among the boys when the “gang" was broken up and individual imembers sent hither and thither as the “exigen- cies of the service demanded," to quote the of- l ficial excuse.

Those who lived in the ’8o's will recall the

famous Maybrick trial which was a cause ccle-

bre of two continents. The woman in the case, Mrs. Maybrick has just died at the age of 8o in South Kent, Conn. A member of an old South- ern family she served I6 years in prison in Eng- land as the poisoner of her husband, a wealth: Liverpool cotton broker. and escaped the death penalty largely due to the international sensation the case had developed and climaxed in 188i). The couple were married in Norfolk, Virginia, and the crime took place by arsenic poisoning in

Liverpool, where the couple were residing. On her release from prison, Mrs. Maybrick changed hcr

name to Mrs. Chandler, and lived as a recluse iii

South Kent, avoided by her neighbours, who

suspected her identity but had no proof of it un- tilafter her sudden death alone in the night. A ncighlrliour found her body on taking in the milk, and afterwards found in her effects a scrapbook with the newspaper history of her tragedy, and Wm‘ h" name in 1161f own handwriting upon it.

Again, if the switch-over takes place it. may retard the business of catching up with the enemy's war production iwhich is one of the maln purposes of the R.A.l<‘. offensive.

l lt was cosy to understand what .winsi.on Chu.chl11 meant when he 'said. “Give u.s the tools". He meant. the delivery on British soil or where the Br-tlsh and their allies need them of tanks, al lanes, guns and the other tools o war.

It does take time to contract for the pro- duction of the lease-lend su plies, to produce them and to eliver them, but the belated discovery that. part. of the time between ap- .pl'0prltlti0n of the money and de- livery of the goods was wasted by bureaucratic procedure awakens the susp clon that. a better lob could be done than has been done.
