First Things First

The following editorial appcflffll in Tlm Maple Leaf, published iii Italy for the members of the Canadian arittcd forces:

Of late, there has becn an impressive assort- ment of gentlemen k-icltitig the term "postwar mhahilnaiitiit" around with great abandon. The gar drnnts tcitd to react very tptickly to these higli-sotitidiiig phrases that mean gravy l0r the soldier's potatoes after the war. ‘

But let's have a care. l.ct's not get any idea about free meals for the rest of our lives. Lets not start iigttrittg that the wars as good J5 “W. we can t-asc tip and drcaui about the taucy- fit- ttire that :t\\':tits.

This war has got to he won and lll-‘i f-lmllg in rah-a n lot nirirc slttgging to do it.’ '

\\'ords appearing elscwltcrc on tltis page cattt afford to he overlooked. They read like tli:s: "Above all, lct us not he prciitattire in assimi- iiig that \vc will be wcariitg civilian clothes be- fore 1044 is out. or even i045. It may wrll lzt- a long tiiiic before niativ a (‘atiailiait soldier walks down the iiiaiti street of the old home town... Let us fight the war. Let tis win the peace. Undue optimism would be as dangerous at this stage as unwarranted pessimism."

'l'ltcse words bv the nicn who are acttiallv doing the fighting for the ])05I—\\'.'ll' world can be taken to ltcart by all of us. Platiitiiig for the future is a good thing. But lct US not lic- totflg so wrapped in contemplation of_thc Knoll things of victorv that we forget the victory has still to be fought for and won.

An Election In New Brunswick

Premier .\lc.\'air says a general clcction in New Brunswick will be held this year, "caiiitot reasonably be deferred.” It could be dcfcrrcil only by special legislation, as the present Legis- Iature was elected on_ November 20, 1939i allll thus is well into its fifth year.

“The Royal Engineers Dream" is the tiick- itanic of a bridge, now beiitg used in the fight- ing iti Italy, which was invented by a British engineer. lt can be pttt together in a few sec- onds, flung over a river or cliastti, and can stip- litlfl the heaviest artillery and transport. Its sections are portable yet strong. Details are still secret, and the inventor anticipates its wide use in peacetime in construction work.

Public health, preventive medicine, assistance in providing resident doctors for itccdy coni- nittiiitics that could not support one without such aid are all worthy objects of state activity, and their costs are proper charges on Dotnitiioii, pro- vincial 0r municipal trcastiries. Before the coun- try is pushed into an immense scheme of health iiisttrance for everybody, it might be well to de- cide where the line is to be drawn between legiti- mate state services and paternalism.
