Answering Mr. King

Prime Minister Mackenzie King is not get- ting far with his smug criticism of Opposition parties for carrying on political activities while (to quote his own \\'ords) “the administration itself WliS giving its undivided attention and devoting its whole energies to the prosecution of the war effort.” Such a statement, from stich a source, naturally provokes retort in kind. The rebuke zitlministered by Mr. Bracken, quoted in yrstertlzrws issue, was well deserved.

The first number presents a diversified selection of triat- ter, including an article on “Canada and the Empire" by Premier Drew of Ontario. Future issues will be looked forward to with interest.

Yet, in the full glow of thesecircnmstances we find Prime Minister King jglily critical of the Progressive Conservative party because its leader is making a Domininii-vvide tour to sur- vev existing conditions in Canada today. ,

Mr. Bracken is entirely in his right and his party's right in doing so. The people are look- ing for more aggressive leadership in the pro- secution of Canada's war effort and in the days which shall fnllow the peace, and in a free, democratic nation? as is Canada, Mr. Bracken is following the proper course notwithstanding the hostility of Prime Minister King to Op- position procedure in these critical times.

Since June, i940, the Royal Navy has work- ed under the greatest disadvantage. Germany held the coast of the Continent from Norway to the Pyrenees, and Irish bases which the Navy used in World \Var I have been denied to the United Kingdom. In spite of handicaps, the Navy has done tremendous work in convoy- ing, and has carried out its traditional task — 'to “seek out, engage and destroy" the enemy— with great success. Two Axis battleships, t4 cruisers, 97 destroyers and torpedo boats, and more than a hundred naval auxiliaries had. been slink by June, i943. 57o Axis stibmarines were damaged or sunk up to November, 1942. During May, June and July of this year they were being sunk at the rate of one a day.

—— Notes By The Way

Those of the type of mind that thinks every other country or policy is better than that of their own, got a mtich deserved rebuff the other day from the venerable and versatile George Bernard Shaw. "The council for the Interna- tional Recognition of India Independence," wrote and asked him to join their council. He replied:

"I cannot give my support because, though I t’

am probably at one with the signatories of the invitation as to making India a separate and self-governing Power, I am not one of those who imagine that Independence, called in Am- erica Isolation, is possible between the Powers.

On the contrary, what needs rubbing-in is their dependence on one another for the peace, friend- l_v co-operation and political integrations with-

out which they will destroy one another . . .

Also, India's business is not my personal busi-

ness; my intrusion into India's affairs would be

an impcrtincnce. India's battle must be won by

Itidians and not by Europeans with their eyes

in the ends of the earth." This is very sound

sense.
