MQRCH 20, 191l- Work For Every Shipyard l

Parhntiient also llt'.!l't‘l on Tuesday’ from Ilon.

The atlvatitzige oi tlevt-ltiyiing sticli facilities in every one of the Atlnntic Provinces must be obvious to lt is 0n the Atlantic that our convoys and cargo ships are needed, not on the PEIClllC or the Great Lztlvcs. 'l‘lie Government has spent tnillivins in Llcveloping war industries in other provinces. lt is hardly an answer to the objection that the lvlaritinics are not able to mect competition in ship building and repairs t0 say that we lack the facilities which have been so generously provider! elsewhere. Our proxim- ity to the Old Country, and the desperate need 0f keeping the Atlantic shipping lanes open, makes it imperative that we be given these facilities. It should not be necessary to “move heaven and earth” to accomplish this result, if we had alert representatives at Uttawa, working in conjunction with our industrial and business leaders.

Brilian’; Bastions

The latest issue of the Economist has an article warning the people of Britain of the dire dangers they face in the next few weeks and of the re- liance they must place in their own powers of rc- sistance. Hitler, it is pointed otit, is desperate. "l-le will stop," it says, “at no tlcviltry, he will set no limits to the scope of the slaughter or the magni- tude of the resources he will throw lmO the al- tack. There will be no mercy for any of us in the onslaught-and still less if it should succeed." The Economist proceeds:

"It is as well that this should be realized. After the miracles of i940, it was only natural that some grateful illusions should be cherished, and there were those in October and November who allowed themselves to think that the worst was passed, that the famous corner had once more been turned. It is Mr. Churchill's greatnlss u 1 leader that, just u he never abandoned his hopeful confidence ii the summer, he has never relaxed his vigilant warnings during the autumn and winter. Causes for rejoicing have been many: the brilliant offen- sivcs in Africa; the astonishing changes in Ameri- can opinion and policy; the defeat of the day bomber. But these gain: have been lideshows, or hope: for the future, or avoidance: of disaster that might have been. None of them affect! the prospect that, for many dreary months to come, we shall remain on the defensive. Each of them swells the hope of ultimate victory; none of them alters the fact that we can lose the war in 1941.

“To the nation that kept its head ml! through 1940, there is nothing in this prospect to appal, but there is much that calls for resolution from the many and for clarity of vision from the few. There are two places wlicrc the war might be lost this year-the invasion beaches oncl the trade routes of the North Atlantic. In the war oti shipping Hitler has already promised to do his worst; tlie chances of invasion rest on his gcner nls’ estimate of the risks-and perhaps on his own desperation. But whether they come or not,

these are the two dangers. '1 here are many ways of winning the war, but only these two of losing outright. Let us, then, not neglect any of tlie multitudinous tasks of preparing the victory and planning tlie peace-—but let llS tix our most watch- ful attention on the seas and the coasts. Once again, as in many past ycttrs. the watcliword must be Halifax the 'l‘riininci“s: “Look to-your Moat. The Shakespeare Cliff and the seaways of the ocean—thcse arc tlie bzistioiis that must be held. They are symbols of the strength, the spirit and the wide freedom for which Britain hasualways stood, atid will always statid in the world.

British Ship Building

Although no figures for British shipyards are published in war time, it is well known that many firms established new production records during i940, writes (l. B. Johnson, Canadian Trade Com- missiotter at (Elasgow in a report to the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce.

“At the OllllJfCilk of war the industry had in hand a large volume of work; at that time 173 ships were being btiilt or were projected for thel Royal Navy alone. At prcficllt 50"" hlllldmdi, for the Navy are under construction, in addition to a vast number of merchant ships.

How inst. has been the suocrss or those forces who have openly doclazed wlthiut qualification that. their system o! government arid their code of conduct are the natural m- emies a! our school o! conduct Ind government!

Then, along with this destruc- tion or individual rights has gone a parallel destruction cf polltlcal and international doctrines to which we adhere. Our Secretary (f State, Cordell Hull. the other day. ln- ventorled these prlncipla. I quote fr:m his recent testimony beforn Congress:

(l) “We advocate peace and the limnation of armaments.

t2) We support law and order- jtistice and morality, and the rrn- intervention by one nation lri the affairs cf another

(3) We seek to promote sound economic methods and relations between natlcris. based on equality of t-rcatment.

(4) We support and seek to prac- tice the fullest practicable measure oi international cat-operation, and

(5) We are devoted to tlie secur- lty. the sofdarlty and the general welfare cf the western hemisphere”.

In contrast, the powers that rrw threaten l"'brrt_v around the world. foster war and hold it. out as the most. admirable wcupation in which man can engage!

They have made the production of armantnts the prlmarv and most imp rtnnt industry wlthln their border?!

They have substituted for a sys- tem based On 111w and order, and justice and morality, a ghastly fonn o! terrorism and cruelty that knows no sllizhtfst sense o! justice or mrrnllty!

Tliev have sought t~ reduce sound eccrionrc methods and fair rela- ticng between nations. to rule by nckrd force given effect by over- whelming military power!
