vcrse of what one looks for in a "warrior chief." Shakespeare urges somewhere that when the blast of war blows in the ears it is desirable to imitate the action of the tiger, stiffen the claws and summon up the blood. There is something of the tiger in Mr. Churchill; he shows it on oc-' casion. President Roosevelt can stir and rouse by the very timbre of his voice. Mr. King is not in this company. He is not at home and not comfortable in the panoply of war. His talciit and inclinations lie in the sphere of political c0ni- promise. That has been an advantage to the Liberal party, but it is Canada's misfortune. For Canada in her war effort must dress by her war leader, and if he, as Mr. hlatthews points out, has no comprehension of the task lying ahead, how can the nation?

An "Emergency" Election‘?

A dispatch from Toronto quotes Premier M. F. Hepburn thus: "Unless some emergency de- velops, there will be no Ontario election this year." Mr. Hepburn added that he "could see no emergency.

“Next year,” the Toronto dispatch says, “brings the conclusion of the statutory 5-year term, and an election will be held, unless Gov- ernment zind Opposition agree to prolong the life of the present Legislature because of the war.”

Ontarids last Provincial election, as well u Nova Scotia’: was held in I937, with a few months’ interval between them. Under the law each legislature was therefore entitled to hold a 1942 sessions. Premier Hepburn of Ontario, see- ing no “eniergency" to warrant a premature wartime election, has decided upon a 1942 ses- sion, and is apparently willing, if the Opposition will agree, to keep the present Legislature alive by special enactment for the war's duration. But Premier MacMillan of Nova Scotia ap- parently does see an “emergency,” for he has procured a premature dissolution of the Legis- lature and is holding a wartime election.

When acting Prime Minister Nash opened 9 o'clock P. M. session of the New Zcaland Parliament at Wellington the other evening, he raised his hand for silence, and the members dis- tincty heard the chimes of Big Ben in London. This ceremony, followed-by fivc minutes of sil- ent prayer, is now in daily vogue, says the Wellington correspondent of The 'l‘iines of Lon- don. As there is a difference of time of about ten and a half hours bctiveen London and Well- ington, the latter preceding, the opening of parliamentary sessions has coinformcil to Big Bcn, whose chimes are also broadcast through

the whole Australian network. n a v u

Prime Minister Churchill, in a speech in the Commons the other day, bestowed on four mem- bers of the Production Executive the rank of "Cabinet Minister," although they are riot mem- bers of the War Cabinet. They are A. V. Alex- ander, First Lord of the Admiralty; Lieut. Col. J. T. C. Moorc-Brabazon, ll/linister of Air- craft Production; Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, President of the Board of Trade, and Lord Reith, Minister of Works and Buildings. The traditional distinction between a member. of the Cabinet and a member of the government is not always clearly defined in books of reference. But aside from the fact that the former may always directly approach the Prime Minister, while the latter may not unless invited to do so, there is a financial background behind that dis- tinction. The I937 Ministers of the Crown Act raised to £5,000 the salaries of the normally loiv- er paid officers of Postmaster-General, First Commissioner of Works, Lord President of the Council and Lord Privy Sea while their hold- ers were members of the Cabinet. Although no outer Cabinet exists, twenty-one Ministers are listed as being what is technically called above

(lays out of the the line. In normal tinics they ivuiild have seals

in the Cabinet. As the Prime Minister made clear in his speech in which he- mentioned the four new "Cabinet membeis" they have the right, not possessed by junior lllinistcrs to zippeal to the Wai- Cabinet against lllf‘ decisions of the various coordinating committees. ,

Lonidon’s Bells

Silenced (M11558?)

Londoners, who have s. historic affection for their church bells, are keeping careful count of the alr- raid damages to the city churches and their oiu-Illonn. The record can be read between the lines of the axiclent nursery rhymes about. Lon- don's churches:

"Orange and lemons gay the bells, of St. Clemens." The blitz finally caught up with tho bells oif M. Clement Dane, 1n the Strand. They were to have been hurled In sand for the duration of the war to save their gay nursery rhyme pest for posterity. A; they lay In the porch awaiting removal an incendiary bomb fired the church. Now only the walk remain. Tbs ll; lie In debris. Some may never peal again.

"You owe me flve farthlngs, any the bells of St. Martin's."

Maybe they wlll g0 on collecting their debt-s of years yet, the bells of St. Martln-lri-the-Flelds, at Tra- falgar Square. A bomb hlt the church and damaged the crypt early tn the blltz. but. the bells are stlll Intact.

"when wlll you pay me? say the bells of Old Bailey."

The Church of St. Sepulctire. op- posite the 01a Bailey, scene of Eng- land's gravest criminal trials, once ‘had a. grim task. Its bell tolled a death knell for murderers con- demned to the gallows. The Cen- tral Orlmlnal Court of the Old Bailey has been hli three tlmes, but St. Sepulclirqfs bell has escaped so far.

"when I grow rlch, say the bells of Shoredltch."

The Actors Church, St. Leonard's, mother church of Shoredlth, still has It; bells. It has another dlstlnc- tlon In Its official register, whlch records the death in 158B of Thomas Carn, aged 207. The pres- ent church was buIlt ln 1740.

"When wlll that be? say the bells of Stepney."

Inoendlarles burned holes In the roof of St. Dunstaifs, Stenxiey, known since the fifteenth century as the parish church of all those born at sea. Bomb blast-s broke the w1ndows..

"I do not. know! says the great bell of Bow."

The most famous of all flondon Church bells are those 01st. Mary- le-Bow. which once sounded the city's 9 o'clock curfew. For‘ cen- turies the hallmark of a Londoner was that. he be born wllhln reach of their sound. The bells remain but: the church has been severely damaged.

None of London's bells has sounded since the day war was de- clared. Until peace comes again only one event: could make taeni speak—-the arrival of invading German troops on English soll. Bu: war cannot silence the nursery rhyme. Cockney children playing In the East End streets chant "Oranges and Lemons" as they choose partners for the tug-of-war which ends their ancient game. The words they slng, though are their own blitz-amended version:

Shakeup Needed

(Saint John ‘Iblegrnpli Journal)

It Iv about tImo that the federal government at. Ottawa took some . deffnlte steps to end the oondltlon ‘of affairs whlch exist: In connec- ' tlon with the administration of the ‘department of labor. The lltiutlou u regards labor mutter: In this Dominion has been a source of constant Irrlinlon and oomplutnt almost since the outbreak of the war. and during the recent months u ha: been geltlng worse Instead of better. The fact. that the loiiroe of these ‘ lnts has included not only the labor organizations

' and the employers of labor, but

many Interests which m Indepen- dent of both these elements. I: ladl- catlvo of flu umiiblafutory stats of affntn which exlat In the labor department.

Canada"; full and aucmssfitl participation In the war depends upon more mm the number of men which In onllsted and train- efl In flu fighting services. Equally Important In the arming and equip- ping of these men, the supplying of them with udequa‘ u. A of munltlom, and tbs contrlbutlon whlch this Domlnlon can make to- wards keeping the flow of war material moving scrou the Attai- tIc to Brltaln. The maintenance of peak production of many classes of munitions and the mw materials necessary to produce them has been seriously mtarded by labor dlffl- culties which ‘the federal depart.- ment of labor seems unable or un- wllllng to cope with.

Th‘: situation cannot. be allowed to exist indefinitely. If those In authority In the CCDBTl-Ulaﬂll at Ottawa are incapable If straighten- ing out the tangle and getting production up to the level where It should be, then they alto-alt! be re- placed by others who "an achleve the desired goal. Or, If the present mlnfster of labor and his assistants lack the necessary authority to put. an end to the conditions which are now causing u. great deal of uncer- tainty and unrest lhriugliout the country, such authority should be made available forthwith.

At all events. press despatches and newspaper comment from coast: to coast Indicates inmost nmatlsfiic- tory and disturbing labor situation 1n too mimy places in the Domin- Ion. Canada cannot go all-out In her war effort. until It Is cleaned up. And that respomlblllry NBSYS prim- arlly on the department of labor, and ln the final analysts on the aederal government at Ottawa.

Length 0f The War

(Globe and Mall)

Frequent warnings against com- placency have been ry In the 1185b Year. A warning ls again called for In view of n. remark made In a radio address a few evenings ago by Mr. Herbert Hoover, former President. of the United States. He predicted the collapse of the Nazi regime even though Germany suf- fers no mllttiu-y defeat.

Among recent commentators ,on the possible length of the war have been Mr. John Blggers, Lease-lend director for the Unltled States In London; Mr. Edward P. Taylor, Toronto man who Is now chief exe- cutlve officer of the Brlllsh Supply Council In America, stationed at Washington; and AIr Commodore A. C. Crlichley, Canadian-born chief of Royal Afr Force Initial Training, now visiting Canada.

Mr. Blggers told the British Noble he knew there was dis- appointment about. American pro- ductlon. He explained the nature 0f mass production. saylng It took a long time to get started, but once the Industries were lined up the "harvest of maxlmum effort” was garnered.
