That is precisely what the Opposition leader, Hon. R. B. Hanson, and his colleagues, have contended from the start. That is why they urged an out-and-out declaration of government policy when the plebiscite was taken. Even yet there has been no such declaration. The Cabinet is evidently hopelessly divided as to the policy to be pursued, with Prime Minister King, as usual, seeking to run with the hare and ride with the hounds.

"For Twenty-Five Years"

ML “rim-ed LaCroix is a Liberal member of Parliament. Ile represents the constituency of Quebec-Montmorency. He was one of the dele- gates who, in his own words, at the Itiberal con- vention of I919 "played an enthusiastic, if mod- est, part in the selection of the Right Hon. Wil- liam Lyon Mackenzie Iiii-ig as leader of our party." Mr. LaCiw-ix is an anti-coriscriptionist and here is his testimony from Hansard, June I5. as to the part played by his party leader and lieu- tenants in (‘Xlilillllllfl the sentiment in Quebec on this issue since the last \\'ar:

“For t\\'ei1l_\'-fi\'e years, Mr. Speaker," said Mr. LaCroix, "during its political campaigns in the province of Quebec, the Liberal party led by the Right Tloii. “iillianiilyioii Mackenzie King has denounced Canada's participation in foreign wars as well zis conscription for overseas service. At each election, they would state that if return- ed to power, they would keep their pledges when- ever the Opporliiilily arose. The Liberal party, through its lttailvr, then asserted that our par- ticipation in any \\'.'Il‘ logically led to conscription, and that this C1illlllI'_V did not possess enough resources from the slllilflpOlnt of man-power or finance. to jiariicipatc in another war."

What ltiiiil of contribution was this to "na- tional unity." which .\lr. King and his colleagues were making iill thc-e years? Were they too busy cntrciichiii: lliviiiselves politically to see “there their propr ziiidn iras leading? “Blind leaders of the ltliiiil" lllllllll wvll he applied to this type of lender-hip. if, illilWIl. it was not a case of callous inrlifferi-iu-e or rlupli ' '

And it was the engineers and freight truckers of the Canadian IDr-jiartn-ient of Transport who took L200 tons of freight over the same route early last \\’iiitei' organizing refuelling Stations and supply depots along the way, taking supplies to the end of steel at Dawson Creek early in Dec- ember and continuing a stream of traffic until March: supplies that included 300,000 gallons of aviation gasoline and lubricating oil for the U. S, Army Air Corps that was to come later. When in March the decision came to go ahead with the Alaska Highway, the U. S. Army asked the Can- adian Department of Transport to move the deisel oil and gas required for construction to Fort Nelson from the railway, and 600,000 gal- lons were moved.

When Col. Hoge of the U. S. Army En- gineers, who was placed in charge of the con- struction of the road. arrived on the scene late in February, he was driven over the ivhole road in an ordinary motor car; and Col. Hoge and his advance party lived in Department of Transport camps until their own camps were set up.

This is not to detract from the fine effort of U. S. Army Engineers in organizing the trans- portation of their men, road machinery and equipment from their bases in the United States by rail to Dawson Creek and thence bv road to F0" Nelson under conditions that were new to most of_tlie troops. and which were not without difficulties. lint the trail was blazed and the way prepared and the real tough work done by Can- adians —and it may be just as well to keep the record straight.

If details of Quebec enlistments be possible, why not numbers of our provincial Army enlist- mentls, which are always included with those of Nova Scotia? Defence Minister Ralston told the House of Commons an effort is being made to ascertain the number of Quebec French-Can- adians in the army by counting the names appar- ently of French origin. The Minister said army records do not show the racial origin of men. He was asked for the total enlisiments from Quebec in the army, navy and air force and the numbers of French-Canadians from Quebec in each ser- vice.

While opposing conscription for Quebec, War Services Minister Thorson admits that compul- sory service is ancient history. He told the House the other day it was not introduced as a prin- ciple for the first time by the National Re- sources Mobilization Act in i940, but was the duty of every able-bodied citizen, and always part of the law of Canada. “That has been the law ever since the Militia Act of i866, with its provision for a levee en masse of all male inhabit- ants from I6 to 60 years of age," Mr. Thorson said_ “Indeed that was the law also of French-

Canada during the period of the French regime “d

To-day when we l" "-31!!! u“ greatest crisis In our history when everything that we vane and cherksh is In jeoperdy, our efforts and our energeis gust. be direcm to one overmas er I pllqiwk furtherance of our war e. ort. until victory ls fiziall odileicd.

In spite of Ls, however, there are many services which, because they are vital to the future. UNI-ii be maintained at all costs and un- der all circumstances. Education Ls one of these essential services. one of our prcmtnent Canadian speakers said the o‘her day, "Ecl- ueation must go on while the gum g9 off." We cannct. afford to allow anything to Interfere with or rest-riot the opportunities of our boys and g;rl.s for obtari n3 a good educatlen. since It Ls the key to the solution of many of our lcms, It foilows that the sc sols. both now and In the post-war per- iod, can do much to make a new- er and a better world.

It. is €§€21blﬂl,‘bl‘€f8f0l‘8, to the future of the naton that the pre- sent standards of education shtuld not only be mimitafned but. possible, Improved.

As we review events of the past year In our provlrce we cannot. fall to marvel at and to admire the wonderful hcm-e war-effort. being made Mille at the same time we dee ly deplore the CYVCI necessity of ts being spent. so largely as It ls—'n the interest. of. b0 us. a. most undesirable type of education e'm- manly called war-zdu-crvon. Many new ways and means for success- ful raising of money are devised and used. Funds are forthcoming ftcm every conceivable source and great expenditure ls made poss- ible. It seems natural to wlsh that a msre fraction of such public initiative, sprlt and generosity might have been devoted over a period of years to another very important and vital cause-better- ment of our rural szhcols.

‘Though there is a, school In practically every community, it. only in very few that. the szhool ls

serving anything aptroachi its maximum function, Many our rural ciassrcoms are small, they are often dull and dingy and In

hardly any do we find anything like Ptrrer or adequate equipment. For example, nc-w many schools In this pi-cvince pcssfss a school It- brary? Probaliy 30 or 40 per cent. We have been trying to teach pu- péls to like bsoks and reading, and

Standard equipment fcr the proper teachng 0f geography includes an Atlas, a globe, and five large mars—P.E.I. the MarIt-tizes, Canada, Europe and the World. How does your sehcol measure up in this ieipsct? The Regulations of the Dzipartment of Education call for 80 square feel. of blackboard. Often the amount is one-half or one third of this re-

quirement and In some Instances it is so shiny and glary that. it. causes eye-stain among the .

pils. Surely every d's.ri'ct shouldmlbe able to provide 9, god Urge slate blackboard for its sthcol.
