This is a most important issue. The Justice Minister 1111s asked the Supreme Court to say whether the order-in-cotincil is ultra vires of the (joverncwr-iu-Couiicil, and if the special order, respecting use of glyccrinc, is 'ultra vircs of the controller. If the Government is upheld, the. judgment will serve as a precedent for all the courts to which actions may be taken for viola-

tion of orders issued by wartime controllers.‘

But if the SLlpFClllE Court finds the Govern- ment wrong in delegating such wide powers to controllers, and that the orders of these con-

trollers have no force in law, the whole system-

of economic controls set up over the last three years will be upset.

Of course, the various wartime control 0r- ganizations are continuing their operations on the assumption that their powers are unim- paired by the relatively few unfavorable court decisions. Mr. Donald Gordon, chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, in ‘an official Board statement reminds all and sundry fthat "any person found violating any orders of the Board or its administrators will be prosecuted."

It is expected a decision will be issued soon after the Supreme Court hearing on Dec. I4. In the meantime, Mr. Gordon's warning is worth heeding. Orders issued by the Board or its ad- ministrators, he says, arise from vital wartime needs. No one can disregard them with impunity.

McNaughton’: Plan

Now that the manpower crisis has burst en the Government at Ottawa, _with results which "gesemble panic, it is interesting to recall that the crisis 1s totally unnecessary.

In 1939, two days before the war actually lug-an, LL-Gen. Andrew McNaughton present- cd to the King Government s. full dress plan 0f national selective service. The core of this plan was that skilled specialists in industry and agriculture should be kept at work in their g ‘sl fields; and that under no circumstances a ould such skilled craftsmen b; permitted to join the armed services. McNaughton knew that s modem army is dependent 0n industry.

The Government completely ignored the Me- Nsughton plan. It has continued to ignore it

‘ co this day. The chief reason why tlic plan hos been ignored ls that the government itself rc- fuses to do its plain duty: to apply s, conlcrip- tlon law which would put every man and woman o: work wherever he or she can but help win the war.

Will It Be Orlando?

In his hour of extigmity Mussolini hu re- portedly called Vittorio Emanuele Orlando back from the political tomb in which that ancient statcman has long been immured. The story goes that Il Duce is seriously thinking 0f I. new nationalist government which will include anti-Fascist elements. If it is true that Orlando is among these, then the Fascist case is even

more desperate than reports had led anybody!’

to suppose. At the Versailles Conference, recalls In ex- change, Orlando was one of the Big Four, the others being \Vils0n, Clemenceau and Lloyd George. (Drlaudo was a skilful stateman, an able advocate and a keen logician. One 0f the high points in the affair at Versailles was when he withdrew from the conference because Wilson refused to recognize the validity of the secret treaty of London under which Italy claimgd outright possession of Flume, That dispute “'35 c11111prr1n1is1-1l 11ml he returned later, but his govcriiiinriit soon fell when in a speech in the Italian Cllflllllflfl‘. of Deputies he pleaded for loyalty to the Allies.

Here i5 a won] picture 0f Si!‘ StAffOHl Cripps and Mr. Winston Churchill from the pen 0f that brilliant Island Journalist, l-lr. Beverley Owen: “Crippsl qualifications as a barrister, as a deadly logician and champion of the extreme leftist scale of thought are c011- ceded out of hand. His sincerity 1s not 111 question. He is a brilliant Briton. But 1: 1s hard to envision Mr. Cripps and .\lr. Churchill ‘valking down the garden path together. In temperament and outlook they are as different a! Joe Louis and the Bishop of London. Cnpps is grim and humorless, without color, nnpressue before a black-clad bench of judges. llis rhe- toric is too perfect, words drop from his lips like cold crystals. Churchill is dashing, 11n- petuous, sardonic, his phrases roll through lllS cigar, titled like a cannon. Cripps hopes to wreck capitalism, with a barrage of cold logic; Churchill would mellow it like the wine in his Chartwell Manor cellar."

In order to assure more adequate post war conditions, the Canadian Army has issued strict orders regarding marriage. It states that officm-s below the rank of captain and all warrant offi- cers under the age of 2o years will, belnre marrying, be required to obtain written permis- sion of their commanding officer. Non-com- missioned officers and men may be granted per- mission to marry by their commanding officer, subject to the following conditions: that the soldier is free from debt and realizes his f1n- ancial responsibility and that the moral Chflrflcwf and disposition of the intended Wllfi are such that it would be in no way undesirable for her to occupy public quarters. If under the age of 19 years, the soldier will be required to produce the written consent of his parent or guardian, before permission is granted, a11d if the intended wife is under the age of 18 years, the written gqnsgnt of her parent or guardian will be r1:- quired also lJClOfQ‘pCl"mlS*5iO& is granted.

With the worst intentions, Mrs. Casgrain and Mr. jean Dropeau have dOne gOOd in bringing some of the Quebec French newspapers to espouse the all-out war policy. Here for, in- stance, is what Le Canada had to say in reply to the anti-propaganda: One of the young par- tisans for the candidate of the League in Outre- mont exclaimed that ‘if the Royal Police can make arrests today, it is because in the past French-Canadians have ba_ttlcd to save Canada for England.’ If Canada had not been saved for England in 1776, it would have passed over to lhg Union of the Thirteen American Colonies and the Province of Quebec would today be mother star in the American flag. This means that in lace of being arrested by the Royal Polioc, t c young subversive speakers would be arrested by the G-Men. In other words, what ls the difference? '11:: League for the Defence of Canada ought to know that there are Ameri- can conscripts in Australia, in New Guinea, in the Solomons, in French Equatorial Africa, at Lake Tchar, in Morocco, in Algeria, in Tunisia, in Egypt, in the Near East and without doubt in other places also which the military censors keep from us st the moment. One must be very childish to imagine that n universal w?" is going to spare the French-Canadians, under the pretence that we are a people of brave souls, kind and peaceful, who wishyuharm to nobody.

With the changed outlook in Europe, econo- mists arc discussing the future. In the'ver_v first post-war period we shall have to share our food and certain other supplies with the war-stricken peoples abroad. After the last wer it lasted from November, 1918, until after the harvest of 19x9. This time it may last through two harvests, but it need not be lOIZIgCF than that—provided we use the world-wide s11p- ply built up for war purposes to lend them or give them the tools and the materials to become self-sustaining again. The human capacity for recuperation is greater than we think. And so is the adaptability of men. If priorities for cer- tain fertilizers could be obtained, the British Isles, which for a. ccntur have depended on imported food, could wit in s year grow 9o per cent of the necessary food supply. We have, however, a greater end to achieve than that. Our greater end is to prime the p11111p WlllCh will, so to speak, cause the desert to bloom- to make the initial investments in the form of materials, and technical knowledge and promotion, which will start the undeveloped rc- gions of the world in a great (lcvclopirietft. In the [irimitive places this means, aflcr political se- cnrity is established, communications and public works and the exploration of their hidden rc- sources. I11 the sparsely inhabited and poorer countries it means the encouragement of the simpler industries which, in the natural evolu- tion of things, will become the foundation of the more complex capital goods industries,

Ska-Your tuue c! leturdly November 14, brings-to tte roosters a letter from J. 0. newts-e letter that must epeeltous u wort-by- of thought! perusal. It ts one that! strikes a resounding chord tn the

people everywhere. _

We abhor the Nut of stealthy fifth col ts, whom. upon recognition, we rtghtfully dc- prlve of many o! the privileges s0- corded ordinary Canadians; but not even passlvc reslstsnce ts of- fered to those of the class whose publlc statements your corres- pondent deals with so e1everly._

To belittle Russia's wonderful progress and achievements, or to pick flaws tn her system of govern- ment-obvtously UB.S,R.'s own af- fairs-are pronouncedly ungrateful, and Indicate a lack of even com- mon decency. Does not Bussta flll for us the role o! "l. friend 1n need" and should she not, by all of us, be recognized as . u friend indeed? Our government consid- ers Russia. a friend and ally of the highest value and importance. But note the Inconsistency which ls apparent tn the Government's asslstln so earnestly tn furnishing ' her wlt fighting equipment, ete., while Individual detractors not only operate with tmpuntty but1 are even allowed Iacllltfes for their dissemination of unspprec- fatlve vapor-lugs which can servo no useful purpose. and certainly do not tend towards unity tn Ill atl- out- war effort.

If "He who receives e benefit. with gratitude, repays the first tn- stalment on hls debt“ what must we think of those who, lgnorln or disparaging the tremendous fght that the Russlan people are con- tfnulng to wage agslnstonr mm- mon enemy, have with gross 1m- proprlety busted themselves with adverse griticfstn of Russian tn- stltutlons?

We are told, "there are two kinds of gratitude, the gratitude we feel for what we get, and the ratltude we feel for what we gve"; but not n trace of either oi these is to be found in the broadcasting of derogatory criticisms of a benefactor. "Looking a gift-horse 1n the mouth" ts putting tt much too mildly, Read what Shakespeare hm to say of ingratltude:
