that practices safety first for the individual leav-

last paragraph of “The Foundations of Belief";

“It is not explanations which survive, but the

convincingly and sacrificingly aggressive in our

Christian faith and belief we shall go down

materialistic hordes and Japan’: heatheriism-

Then what good will our “explanations" and

"theorizing" be when we, Christ's vicegerents

appear to answer for our colossal failure with

tlrai iinmcmorial confession of ineptitude: “The unlit lamp and the ungirt loins."

Mr. Hanson's Appeal

If there was any question in the minds of Conservative electors as to how they should vote in the forthcoming plebiscite, it was surely an- livered in the address broadcast last night by tbc lbai, R. ll, llanson. Mr. Hanson pleaded for an affirmative vote with all the eloquence at his command. lle recalled that he had oppos- ed the taking of the plebiscite, believing that it involved dangerous delay and hindrance to our war effort. From the outset he had urged the Govcriiinrnt in (‘HlllC to Parliament with a def- inite, char-cut lllllltjy and ask Parliament to assume rcspoilsibilily therefor. That would have been uhifurdwartl. manly course under our r-w ‘illlllvfbll <_\'-l(‘lii. llut this proposal was rcjt-i-lml, Illlll ~llll~(‘I|ll(_‘llll_\' the Plcbiscifc Bill vvns ..i..'~iliiwi‘il lillll it bi-canic the law of Can- {lll-‘l

Mr, llullSvll iiciit on to point out that llic

first principle of military strategy is that the enemy should be sought out and defeated before he reaches our own shores. Either we permit our Government and Parliament to dcspatch our forces to the parts of the world where, in con- junction with the forccs of our Allies, they can defeat the enemy and keep the war from our territory. or we refuse that right and wait to defend ourselves only when bombs and shells rain death and destruction tipun our own people and our cities and towns.

The Conservative leader urged that in each city, town and municipality, in each polling sub- division, where it has not already been done. campaign committees be set up at once. He pleaded with the leaders of service clubs, wo- incn’s organizations, and religious bodies to get behind the drive for an affirmative vote. “The fate of the Government is not at stake," he said; “but the fate of Canada, may be. If the plebis- cite fails to show a majority, and a Substantial majority, then God help Canadzr-anytliing may happen or, worse still, nothing may happen, at least until disaster is upon us."

Eating’ Habits

Before this war is very much older, says the Financial Post, many Canadians are going to revise their eating habits. There will have to be less lavish use of meats and fats and a greater reliance on bread. Provided the authorities take the public and foodproduccrs into their coiifid- ence and make a full explanation of the changes necessary, there should be neither criticism nor hardship.

Our standard of living. [irobttbly the highest in the world so far as food is concerned, is easily able to stand revision without any real sacrifice. It has been said and with reason, that many a European would live comfortably on the fond the average Canadian wastes or throws ziway. We arc among the world's largest" pcr czipim cianstinicrs of eggs, butter, fruits, milk and meat.

Now we are going to be asked to make some further cuts in our consumption of eggs, meats and certain dairy products in ordcr that tbc British people may continue to gct enough t0 eat. \\'e will do this and we should do it thunk- fully, remembering that had we been living on the other side of the Atlantic it would be a case of eating less, whereas on this continent we simply switch to soliicthiiig more plentiful. Thai something in most cascs, will be bread for which we have a stiperabaundaiice of raw material.

Has Mr. Donald Gordon abdicated his food dictatorship? He announces “reports coming in from all parts of the country show that tbc beef situation is in a stzitc of chaos and I linvc made a recommendation to tbc govcrnmcnt to deal with it." Surely at this late date Mr. Gor- don is not "passing the buck" to old time politic- ians.

Peace is once more restored in the llcpbtirn Government by the withdrawal of the resigna- tion of the Hon Robert Laurier as Miniscr of Mines. “Mitch's" explanation is humorous. H: Says Mr. Laurier's resignation had ncvcr been accepted. “He suffered a severe shock from an ulcerated stomach condition and he was in ini- paired health. He has, in the meantime, recover- ed to the point that he is able to resume his duties” “The shock" it will be recalled was caused by the Premier supporting Mr. .\lciglicii's candidature in South York.

Mr. Morris Wilson's resignation of the chair- manship of the British Council Supply has caused considerable sensation, especially the naive explanation that he assumed the position at the express wish of his old friend Lord Beaverbrook, and that his lordship’s successor, Mr. Oliver Lyttleton should have the fullest opportunity of proposing a chairman of his own choosing. Ten minutes after announcing his resignation, Mr. \Vilson boarded the train at Washington for Montreal to resume the general managership of the Royal Bank.
