In a characteristic tribute to the late Sir An- lrew Macphail which forms the leading article n the Winter issue of Queen's Quarterly, Dr. Stephen Leacock recalls his early acquaintance with Sir Andrew which began about forty ears ago at McGill University when “I came lhere as nothing and nobody in particular, in the unstable hirer." ,

In a passage which has much of the flavor of Sir Andrew's’ own style, Dr. Leacock says:

"He wore then, as always, an air of gloom snd deliberation, carried not as a pose, but as the expression of a mind always hcavy with thought that did not of necessity break to the surface in voluble expression."

Again: “What Andrew really thought of bfe in general I didn’t know, and never knew, snd I doubt if he did. He carried with him from his hereditary background and his up-

bringing. a stern set frame of beliefs and tradi- tions from which he was unwilling to depart: _ be always hated idle scoffing, cheap rationalism, c yne might almost say, reason and logic itself, 5nd he always loved the‘ sterner ideas of con- luct that went with the illumination of older beliefs. If there had been no Westminster techism, Andrew would have invented it for

, imself.”

Dr. Leacock's article is l. valuable contribu-

ltion to Canadian biography, the author and his ﬂsubject being unquestionably the two ablest fessayists in our literature. What a pity we have Knot “lllacphail on Leacock" to place beside fthis delicately carved cameo of Leacock on iMacphaill Sir Andrew's analysis of his friend's ,‘whimsicalities would have made entertaining lreading.

Nazi Censorship Spreading

wvith the destruction of Czecho-Slovakia free ~spcecl1 has ceased to exist anywhere east of the

titan iron hand on the press, and the citizens are orc serious than this is the steady and threat- ening pressure applied by the dictators to the prcss in foreign and friendly countries. It is growing more intense, and governments in Hol- land, Sivitzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway are finding it more difficult to rc- sist. \Vhat the Gcnnans ivant is a discontinu- ance of any criticism of the Nazis. It must not be said that their policy is warlike, that the Jews have been ill treated, that there is high corrup- tion in Nazi higher circles, and that Hitler has frequently broken his word. The count-ties nam- edare flooded with propaganda material to this , effect, which would be useless if the press in the

jffjisnys ill will, such criticism must not be ap- Inm- .»_ In Sweden, in spite of unique constitution- ll guarantees which permit every citizen to l-"publish what he wishes without any govern- ment interference, the government has found it Jdvisable to send a confidential circular asking “all editors to be careful in their references to ,,Gcrmany. Now the editors are free to disre- gard this advice, but when they know that Ger- Jnany has it in her power to makc trade reprisals ﬁtheymay wcll thin - that their-country's advan- i’ e _is more important than free speech. The nish Government has already surrendered to lgillch a threat, and in Finland a, Foreign Minis- has been forced to resign because Germany vG - . . ' Ldld not approve of him. The Swiss press has -been threatened with the loss of all German ad- isement revenue if it does not become friend- » The Dutch press has received similar hints. This is a serious situation for it has been ' ved, time and again, that democracy cannot who without a free press.

,The Canada Temperance Act

_ t the next session of the Ontario Legisla- the Hepburn Government will introduce a olution requesting the Federal administra-

to repeal the Canada Temperance Act in far as it applies to Ontario, thus making the uor Control Act the only law in effect in _province for the regulation of the liquor fie; '

s contemplated action, says Attorney Gen- ‘hunt, is intended to end the bitterly wag- fogversy over the two diverse statutes. ' Canada Temperance Act was first pass- 1878 substantially in-lts present form and rs-enseted, with slight variations, in the Sthtutesof Canada, 1927, Chs lei- 196. ‘ t wss originally passed ere was pro mist control of the li Ito!‘ traf- , , but ‘only provincial - islstion municipalities to limited . ' “Ontario llllléglilllcd re-

l their _ ‘fllé various liquor. cts~~sud ‘ I C ’ M:

in that Province. New Brunswick has liquor legislation very similar to the Liquor Control Act of Ontario. ,

It is claimed that many difficulties have arisen in connection with the Canada Temperance Act.

of liquor, it does not prohibit the other activities which are necessary to effectively control the traffic, and which are embodied in the provin- cial control legislation. Another objection is that the Federal Government has never set up the machinery to enforce the Act in Ontario.

The prohibition forces in Ontario are strong- ly opposing this attempt to abolish the Canada’ Temperance Act, and a legislative dis- cussion on the subject will be followed with gen- eral interest.

In this Province, the Canada Temperance Act came into force in Prince County in 1878, the year of its enactment at Ottawa, as a result of the first Scott Act election. A majority of the electors of Charlottetown and Kings County voted for its introduction in 1879, and in the following year a majority of the electors of Queens County voted for it. So it became, for several years, the law prohibiting the liquor traffic throughout the Province. In 1897 it was voted out in Charlottetown by a majority of the electors, and thcre ensued in the city a period known as that of “Free Rum.” Finally in 1900 the Legislature passed the Prohibitory Liquor Law, ivhich superseded the operation of the Canada Temperance Act throughout the Province.

v 4 v n: Sometime ago, it will be recalled, the Hon. Mr. Cahan took the Governor-General to task for emphasizing the importance of national pa- triotism over that of Imperial patriotism. There was naturally no “comeback” by His Excellency, but after a lapse the Rt. Hon. Malcolm MacDon- ald, Secretary of State for the Dominions. apro- pos of nothing in particular at the time, deliver- ed a speech in which he quietly took ex- ception to the over-straining of nationalism. In t-his connection the London Spectator says: —— “Some acrimonious but quite un- meritcd criticism has been directed against Mr. Malcolm MacDonald for his suggestion that while nationalism in a British Dominion was good within limits, as an evidence of con- sciousness of nationhood, it could easily become a disintegrating force. The truth of that needs little demonstration, andlit is no bad thing to be rcmindedpf it, for we are a little inclined to take the Dominion: too mucvh for granted.”

This may be taken for what it is worth, but thcre is reason to believe it has some founda- tion in fact. Before next election the Rt. Hon. C. A. Dunning may be raised to the Senate, or, alternately given an snnunity, a la Fielding, for his public services. Mr. Dunning, like Mr. Fielding has devoted practically all his life to litics and administration, with the result w en he went out of office in 1930, ht had to turn to hotel management for a livelihood. When he was called back to public life after last election, it seemed as though he had a long future before him, but, alas, his strenious labours of sixteen‘ hours per diem laid him low.
