"ilgiierc igs no denying the fact that the Eng‘ lish speaking Provinces voted as a body l0 W" lieve the Government of its conscription pledges md that in Quebec Province the Montreal cop- stituencies --—\vhfif¢ Engll-‘h l‘ most ‘vldey spoken —~were the only ones t0_d0 SP- I

This creates a situation which is decided]? dangerous to national unity, and which the King Government should have forseen if it had not been so much concerned about its own politi- cal interests. _ _ '

Many years of exploitation and misrepre- sentation by political demiigogues_lie_ behind the gttitudg of Quebec op the conscriptionussue. It it significant that this campaign was invariably most effective where only the French language was understood. ,

It is time for the people of Canada-for our political and religious leaders in particular —t0 grasp the fact that no section of the country can be isolated by language barriers without dis- |5trQll5 consequences. They have only to cou- aider what has hzippciiecl in Europe-how dil- ferenccs in language fostered jealousies and su- spicions which paved the way for Hitler's early conquests ——to realize that our war effort can never be I00 pcr cent effective without a com- mon ground of tiiidcrstanding in terms of speech and literature.

Thi< is not to deny the advantages of bilingual- ism. The French language in particular is rich in cultural values. It is a heritage ivhich our French-Canadian citizciis llavt nOi Only th! right but the duty of preserving, and which is rightly regarded as an essential study in every high school and college throughout the country. Nevertheless, we must bear in mind that the war is bringing about changes of far-reaching im- portance to Canada as a nation. We are likely to see a closer union of all the English-speak- ing democracies, and particularly between Can- ada and the United States, which may lead to the abolition oi all customs boundaries between us and our American neighbors, and to the in- rush of people from the United States to occupy the sparesly populated parts of our Dominion. As the Minister of justice effectively pointed out in the plebiscite campaign, what hope is there for the French population of Quebec, totalling 4,000,000, becoming a French-speaking empire on this side of the Atlantic, in the midst of an English-speaking population running into 14o,- waooo? Far-seeing men like Cardinal Vil- leneuva, Premier Godbout and Mr. Bourassl. had no doubt this in mind when they urged Quebecers to become English-speaking, because otherwise there would be no future on this con- tinent for their sons and grandsons. Nor need they have any hope of receiving encouragement from what remains of their mother country, France, _nor aid from Great Britain to prevent their being absorbed, through the exigencies of W". by the populous country to the south,

Many Inventories

1t is fortunate for Canadians with a Mac- kenzie King Government at the helm, says the Toronto Telegram, that their country has the ocean at her gates, cast and west, the Arctic up north and s. good friend to the south; otherwise they might never have had the time or the op- portunity in the last thirty-two months of par- ticipating in all these interesting events which have done so much to keep their trill-ids off flsc war:

One general election.

One national registration.

One census-

One plebiscite.

One manpower inventory.

At first the Government was not enthusiastic about numbering the people but once in the

ove it looks as if it will be an annual affair.

e objection, not a particularly emphatic one, arises from having to answer the same questions over and over again. It seems silly, especially as we have it nu good nutlioriiy that the ques- tions lion. "_|imiii_\"' fiardiiicr asked in the i940 registration wcrcirt vcry useful. If they were the wrong questions why repeat them?

One must mind their “P? and "Qifi" these days of multiplicity of orders-in-Council under war regulations. George Brooks, employment agent for Pacific Mills Limited, Occaii Falls, B. C. has been convicted on a charge of unlaw- fully advertising in a newspaper contrary to the recent order-in-council governing employment in essential and non-essential war industries. Appearing in court Brooks pleaded guilty to the charge and was ordered to pay a fine of $10, and costs. The charge followed an adver- tisement inserted in the Trail Daily Times April 2: for the purpose of employing men for the Pacific Mills Limited without inserting the fol- lowing phrase: "Applications will not be consid- ered from persons in the employment of any firm, corporation or other employer engaged in the production of munitions, war equipment’ or supplier for the armed forces unless such per- sons are skilled tradesmen not actually en1ploy- ed at their trade." The omission was contrary to regulations contained in order-in-council PC6286, of which assuscd probably bad never heard.
