Why it is that Prime ll/Iinister King has no "pull" in London, and has to get the President -of the United States to intercede for him? Is it not largely because he has always looked to Washington instead of London, and now is con- sidered part and parcel of the President's regime?

A statement on the new Alaska highway given to the House by Prime Minister King seems to leave little doubt that all Canadian rights are being amply protected. Mr. King quuted from an exchange of notes between the two govern- ments, and in these nbtes it is provided that the part of‘ the Alaska highway passing through (Ianadian territory is to become “in all respects an integral part of the Canadian highway system, subject to the understanding that there shall at no time be imposed any iliscriminatory condi- tions in relation to the use of the road as be- tween Canadian and United States civilian traf- fic." This seems fair enough-

Last Suixlay, notes the Ottawa Journal, peo- ple were talking about “the news from Sicily on the radio." The news they were hearing on the radio was mainly; the news sent by Ross Munro to the newspapers, and which the newspapers turned over to the radio—including the big Am- erican chains. Ross Munro is in Sicily as the correspondent of The Canadian Press, the co- operative news gathering agency of Canadian daily newspapers. That ncws agency, with the British Limited Press and other newspaper or- gzmizziiions, is the main source of authentic war ncws—will1 newspapers, as Prime Minister King told the House of Commons on Monday, the best source of information on day-to-day mili- tary operations-

The first important principle in democratic

representative government is that the adininis- iraiion speaks with one voice. No latitude is per- missible for individual expression of opinions on vital subjects——\vliatever a member says on these

binds the government. Should a member dif- for from his colleagues, lie either voluntarily re- signs or is asked for his resignation. Mr. Mac- kenzie King is introducing a new practice, which started with the Hon. Mr. Cardin differing from his chief on the census; he was allowed to re- main in office until public opinion compelled his retirement. Next we have Mr. Claxton, the Prime l\linistcr's own assistant, laying down l policy on foreign affairs, which his chief has secn fit in repudiate-though still retaining the offender in office. Most recently we had the Prime Minister severely trnuncing a back bench French Liberal for occasioning political con- lrnversy over the flag and national anthem at a time when all attention and concern should be occupier] with twar development. Immediately after this. his colleague, the Minister of justice llon- Mr. St. Laurent, caused s great sensa- iion in the Iiouse by expressing similar views to those of the back-benclier, without a word of protest from the Prime Minister. We are living in strange times and under a Prime Minister who blows hot and cold almost in the same

By Dolliifls Amaron Canadian Press Staff Writer

A quietspoken man but no Irm- ciiair strategist or dle-ln-bed gen- eral, Lt. Gen. H. D. Cv. Crerar has been aching for action for almost four years-

When the first Canadians dis- embarked in Britain in i939, he Wis brigadlei- in command of Camd- ian Military Headquarters at 10n- don. He knew that new Canadian divisions would be plowiéig) the ocean to Britain during 1 and he wanted the command o! a bri- gade in the field.

He waited two years for a field command—in the meantime spend- ing a year as Chief of the General Staff at Ottawa-and relaxed only when he became a divisional com- mander in 194i. A few months later he was commanding a corps as lieutenant- eneral a rank from e reveried to major- general to get overseas in a hurry. Now he figures it a cinch he'll see action.

Since his appointment as corps commander, he has been guiding the forces under his command through the toughest training grind any Canadians have exper- fenced.

There has been one purpose in

this hard work-to train the troops so that when they meet the enemy face to face they will not be too seriously hindered by their lack of battle experience. "Every man is eager to be on the offensive and encouraged to be thinking of attack," Gen. Crerar said at the height of this training. “Here, we regard the European coast as the front line-the Chan- nel as No Man's Land."

You feel, from talkin with Gen. Crerar and reading hs order to the troops, that he places a Prem- ium _on intelligence, alertness and condition. He works on the theory that no officer or N. C. O. not cap- able of taking over from the man directly above him Ls qualified for his present rank.

"Lack of battle ex erience means we must train all t e harder," he explained. "Having lacked practice against the enemy we have l0 be super in everything we do."

The general. a. medium-sized man with a, serious expression but a frlendlysdis osition, is as tireless as he as h troops to be. He 1s I1 Popular commander right through the ranks.

One of the "old regulars." he was not. always a professional sol- dier. Born in Hamilton, April 28, 1888, he graduated from the Royal Military College in 1909 and chose to bepa civilian engineer with the Ontario Hydro Commission. How- ever. lie joined the Canadian non- permanent artillery;

In 1914 he star d in the First Grcat War as a captain in the 11th Buttery, C. F. A. At the armistice in 1918 he was a lieutenant-colonel with ‘the D. S. O. and M. C. By coincidence his (path touched that 0f LI- GOH- A. . L. McNaughton, whom he succeeded

The disclosure that the nil fields of Canada's northwest are being de- veloped as a war measure is addi- tional evidence- of the great national resources which as yet have been scarcely touched. While this war and its demands for oil have brought about the operations of this vast supply near tho Arctic Circle, its benefits will be in evidence 1on2 after the conflict ends. The drilling of numerous wells and building of more than 1.000 miles of pipeline is evidence of the extent of the de- posits. When the wells and their accompanying refineries are in full operation. the products. will be of great help to tlic allied nations. The oil project is said to rival the Alaska highway in scope and im-
