NOTES BY TIIE YIAY

Tho Government ha: found it necessary to warn public servants, teachers and other-s that it will not tolerate attempts to render tzref- fecttve the application of the policy which the Union Parliament has decided shall be pursued. The Mal- anite newspfl-pers shriek that this warning is a curtailment of tlre liberty of the subject and a subte attempt to drazoon the public mind. The allegation reveals a not uncommon confusion of thought concerning the rights of minontiea. The Government does not wish to sulppress criticism. what it denoun- ces is political sabotage — a cam- paign deliberately launched to 1n- cite opposition to its mes-sures and if possible to bring them to . — Cope Argus (Capetown)

In spite of some exceptions, the historian W111 have some cause to single out the behavior of the British public during the unnter of 1939-40 as one of the most re- markable manifestations of the strength which can tnhere in a. de- mocracy. 1f ever there was a pzp- ular war, not in the sense of our entry into it. provoking mass hystsgflg in the capitals 0f all the belligerent countries. but in the sense of its being the outcome of a policy which was grounded in the popular will, it is the present war. Yet the popular determination to oust the Nazi», from the govern- ment. of Germany and to bxxak the spirit of German aggressiveness has been accompanied by great reaiizm and an extraordinary patience in waiting for the results which the public is unsvrervlrrr“ determined to see achieved. -- Lfisgow Herald.

A Hint And A Promise

(‘New York Herald-Tribune)

The story of the rescue of six sailor-s Q1 the wrecked Canadian lumber schooner Chisholm after they had drifted two weeks Mid lived on wiratever- floated up from tlre salt-watered galley is not a. new 5,0,1, u, me people who make their living by the sea or take a sPWlB-l interest. tn the sea front their mbber apartments fa: from i119 waters edge, But gomehmv in this latest, rescue story in the chain of seafarers‘ tales t-here was a hint which takes one back w the Phoe- niciatis and a pwmise to the pert of the civilized world that believes the defeat, of the Nazis would be for- the good of the future of the

world.

The hint lies in the def-Mil 0! the rescue. Although they experi- enced gICM’. hardships, the crew managed to survive tor fourteen days on raw potatoes and tumrps and pieces of pork much soltier than normal. Some of the crew (tut, r1 hole in a deck that, lay floating just; beneath the water. and up bobbed a barrel 0i Willie!‘- Tlrev saw two sin during the agonizing davs an nights‘, and because their wallowing hulk was no mark for a woman's glass these two vessels went right on by. At 7:30 on the thirteenth n ht a third ship, the Swedish fre hter Sagoltmd. came in sight, and they jigged around and found a drum of gasoline and set. it afrre. They lteirted one of their precious over- coats and put it on a Stick find moved it back and forth. lLwaa thirty-six hours in the heavy sea before the sngoiand could get a small boot, in their aid. Yet when titey came into New York they said what they had gone thvotah was all in a day's work; and wi - in a nrotrttr they will be back at s05, helping the British win the war. Since the war began a dozen incidents have appeared lto prove the valor orf the British seamen. For if the sea is so immense that for u fortnight a Mil-ion, three- masrted schooner can drift close to Bermuda, and not. be seen, and men can conduct themselves as the British did on the Exeter. the Ajax, the Cossack and the Chis- holm. is it not logical that the marine strnnale hold of the Bri- tish will Iced the Island of Eng- land until this war t5 over?
