The plebiscite is causing dispeace and has settled nothing, notwithstanding the Premier's claim. The soldiers’ vote is being disputed be- cause only the Government was represented at the soldiers polls, and got the bulk of the vote for beer and wine.

Reading Premier Campbell's speech on the Prohibition plebiscite. one could not help recall the dictum of that prince of politicans and cynics D'IsracIi: " ‘Frank and cxplicit'——tliat is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and to confuse the minds of others."

Many thousands in Canada. and quite a niim- ber here. are disappointed at the postponement of the further arrival of little "guests of Can- ada" from the Gld Land. There are three ex- planations. all good and latidable: (I) Too much publicity tended to tiiake the enemy latigh; (2) ditto made the poor parents jealous and dissatis- fied: (3) the enemy now being on the alert. and torpedociug women and children their forte. necessitated more convoys than the Navy could spare from other duties.

Though it was announced that those desiring

voluntarily to enlist tinder the mobilization regu- lations mtist do so today. arrangements are incontplcte for that purpose locally. It ap- pears that the new Nlinistei- of Defence was una- ware when he tnade his zuinouiicenteut in the Ilouse that various ilistricts. sub districts and sub-stib districts like our own were without the facilities and personnel to comply with his orders. But all in good time we will get down to system and efficiency. when no one need com- plain about trying in vain to join up. .\'or need any employers worry about being deprived of necessary help, as provision has been made to avoid lnwl-CTPIICP with the sticcessftil carrying on of necessary industries. u v- w- w

In its dying hours, the last representative democratic parliament of France held at Vichy passed a resolution calling for the immediate government identification and punishment of “all those pitliticallyg civilly or tnilitarilyi re- stionsible" for France's downfall. The list will probably be headed by Dictator Petain himself whom Col. De Gatille charges with having been primarily responsible during his regime at the war office for having refused to adopt a scheme for the mechanization of the army and the provision of large tanks such as used by the Germans.

________. French Writers In Flight

(Wlnnlpeg Free Press)

The arrest of four eminent French journalists-all well known to read- ers of newspapers on thIs continent -ha5 been ordered by the French puppet government. In obedlence to nstructlons transmitted to It from Berlin. These journalists have been known for the vigor with wbleh they have s11 ported the cause of tree- dom an encouraged resistance to Nazl aggression. ‘This has long been an offence In Berlln; and the In- tentlon to applv Nazi lands falling under the domlnatlon of Hltler has recently been offlclallv proclalmed. Hence the pursuit of these {oumallsts by the abject crea- tures n Vichy who have formed o. miike-belleve government.

Fortunately there are still coun- trles where the Nazl wrIt does not run. It does not run In Great. Brit- aIu whlch has tzlven an asylum to Madame Tabouls and Ermlle I-Iure: nor In Canada to which Henrl de Kerrllls has come- nor In the United States where Pertlnax (Andre Ger- aud) is to make hts home. They st-Ill have access to the newspapers of the free world; and to the vast; aticLence thus open to them they can and wIl1 tell the story of the betrayal and murder of democratic France as the crlme developed uh- der their eyes. No wonder both Dr. Goebbels and his allies In Vlchv tried to get their hands on them! All the prohtbltlons against. listen- ing to radios or reading forbidden newspapers are now In o ration In France: and It may be d fflcult for them to get their messages to their own people. But thls will not. be necessary. The French people at home do not: need to be told thIs story of treachery, perfldy and tma-
