Airport Site Dispute

While the extension of the runways to the Charlottetown airport is being urged solely as a necessary war project, it would appear that consideration is being given in other provinces to postwar civilian requirements as well. A recent despatch front Toronto indicated that the Do- minion Government had virtually decided to locate a large airport north of that city, and that land necessary to the project had already been purchased. This news has caused a furore in llamiltnn. According to the Hamilton Specta- tor, the Mayor of that city is endeavoriitg to halt the project and have the proposed airport located midway between Hamilton and Tor- onto. The Spectator devotes a leading editorial to the stthjcct, commenting on the importance of jiosr-u-ar commercial aviation and the need of keeping Hamilton in the limelight.

Hitler's Ancient Prototype

A parallel to the vain-glorious boasting of the Nazi war-lords may be found, for those who like robust humor, in the imaginary but un- forgettable history of the Picrocholian war, written by Rahclais four centuries ago. King Picrocholc, as Rabclais describes him, was just such a. truculattt fellow as Hitler. His neigh- bor, the good king Grangousier, did everything possible to appease and placate him. But all to no purpose. On a trumped-up excuse, the Picrocholians ravaged the whole countryside, "wasting, spoiling, destroying and making havoc of all wherever they went." At first they found none to resist them; “everyone submit- ted to their mercy, beseeching them that they might be dealt with courteously in regard that they had always carried themselves as became good and loving neighbors." Only when such meek measures had failed npeatedly did Gran- gousiar and his allies take the field.

Rabelais devotes _u chapter to the Pierocholian war council, which out-goebbeled Goebbels in boastful utterances and plans of conquest. Like the Nazi Feuhrer, Picrochole had his stooges and qcophsnts, who cgged him on with fan- tastic visions of loot and glory. They urged that he divide his army into two parts, one part to fall upon Grangoirsier and his forces, the other to march into adjacent territories, “tak- ing without rosistanoe towns, castles, and forts” on to Oaswny and Bayonne, thence along Gcllicia. and Portugal, "pillaging all the maritime places, even unto Lisbon," where there would be booty galore. Then, said Picrochole’s coun- sellors-"then are you to pass by the Straits. cf Gibraltar, where you shall erect two pillars more stately than those of Hercules, to the per- petual memory of your name, and the narrow entrance there shall be called the Picrocholinal sea.

"Having passed the Picrocholinsl sea, behold, Barbarossa yields himself your slave . . . Then you shall conquer the kingdoms of Tunis, of Hippo, Argicr, Bomine, Carone, yea all Barbary. Furthermore, you shall take into your hands Majorca, Minorca, Sardinia, Corsica, with the other islands of the Ligustic and Balearian seas. Going along on the left hand, you shall rule all Gallia, Narbonensis, Provence, the Allobrogians, Genoa, Florence, Lucca, and Rome.

“Italy being thus taken,” pursued the royal sycophants, “behold Naples, Calabria, Apulia and Sicily all ransacked, and Malta too."

"I wntild,” said Picrochole, “very willingly go to Loretta.” “No, no," said they. "that shall be at our return. From thence we will sail eastwards, and take Candis, Cyrprus, Rhodes and the Cyclade Islands, and set upon the Morea. It is ours, by St. Trenianl The Lord preserve Jerusalem; for the great Soldan is not comparable to you in power."

"I will then," said he, “cause Solomorfs Tem- ple to be built." “No," said they, “not yet, have a little patience, stay a while, be never too sud- den in your enterprises . . . It is requisite that you first ltave the Lesser Asia, Caria. Lycia, Patnpltylia, Cilicia, Lydia, Phrygia, Mysia, Bithynia, Carazia, Satalia, Samagaria, Casta- mena, Luga, Savasta, even unto Euphrates.”

“Shall we see." said Picrochole, “Babylon and Mount Sinai?" "There is no need," said they. “at this timc. llave we not hurried up and down, travelled and toiled enough, in hav- ing transfrcted and passed over the Hircanian Sea, marched along the two Arrnenias, and the three .-\rahi;ts?. . .

“But." quoth Picrochole, “what doth that part of our army in the meantime, which over- throws that unworthy swill-pot Grangousier?" "They are not idle," said they. "We shall meet with them hy and by. They shall have won you Brittany, Normandy, Flanders, Hainhault, Brabant, Artois, Holland, Zealand; they have passed the Rhineover the bellies of the Swit- zers and Lanskenets, and a party of these hath subdued Luxemburg, Lorrain, Chsmpaigne, and Savoy, even to Lyons, in which place they have met with your forces returning from the naval conquests of the Mediterranean Sea; and have rallied again in Bohemia, after they had plund~ cred and sacked Suevia, Wirtemberg, Bavaria, Austria, Moravia, and Styria. Then they set fiercely together upon Lubeck, Norway, Swede- land, Denmark, Gitland, Greenland, the Stcrlins, even unto the Frozen Sea. This done, they conquered the isles pf Orkney, and subdued Scotland, England and Ireland. From thence sailing through the sandy sea, and by the Sarmates, they have vanquished and overcome Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Wallaclua, lhvansylania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, and are now at Copstantinople.”

"Come? aid Picrochole, “let us join them qpiclfily, for I will be Emperor of Trebezonde a so.

Thera was there present st the time (says Rsbclais) an old gentlemsn well experienced in wars,~who hearing this discourse said, “I _d0 greatly doubt that all this enterprise will be like the talc or interlude of the pitcher full of milk, wherewith a shoemaker made himself rich in ": but, when the pitcher was broken, he had not whereupon to dine. What do you pre- tend by these large conquests? What shall be the end of so many labors and crosses?” "Thus it

returned. we shall sit down, rest, snd be merry."

"But," ssld Echephron (for such was the old soldier's name) “if by chance you should never come back, for the voyage is long and dangerous, were it not better for us to take our rest now, than unnecessarily to expose ourselves to so many dangers P" ,

This advice was received with contempt and derision. Picrochole ordered his armies to the assault, — with the rc s ult that he was soundly trounced by Grangousier and put to ignominious flight.

Rabelais wrote these things in jest; but there is much in his account of the. rapacious Pic- rocholiatts to suggest that they were the Nazis of their day, fitting jiqtotypes of Hitler and his graady gangsters.

Victory campaign deserve the warmest con- gratulations on the huge success of their effort. At the outset it appeared an herculcan task, and certainly it took all the time, energy and in- genuity of organigers and collectors alike to as- sure its complete success. But the powers-that- be here knew where “the pay dirt" could be worked to advantage, and never let up till suc- cess was achieved. As nothing succeeds like success the organization will doubtless be kept intact to repeat the experiment six months hence. . s s- s- s:

A number of Britishguest children from both Canada and the United States, who were sent across by plane have found themselves strand- ed in Lisbon, Portugal, through lack of the necessary transport planes there to carry them to England. Their parents had been warned, but chose to take the risk. This an- nouncement is just one more incident in the long history of approximately 11,400 children who have made the journey to North America since r940. About 6,400 of them came to homes in Canada and the rest to the United States. Many have returned and although no official figures are available it is thought the contingent now is something under half the original number.

Bourassa, under the provision of Article 237 of the Code of Civil Procedure which enacts that "s. judge may be excused if he is related to one of the parties within the degree of first cousin inclusively." Counsel declared the juror in question was first cousin by marriage to Gus- tave Monette, K.C., who was acting for the plaintiff in the case before the Court. As the jury was judge of the facts to be decided. Mr. Charbonnesu argued that Mr. Bourassa, as s juror, occupied what was the veritable position of a judge in the case to be decided, and there- fore, counsel said, the motive for recusation as set out in Article 237 of the Code of Pro- cedure, applied to s juror as much as it would apply to the trial judge. Mr. Bourssss was call- ed to the-witness stand and, in reply to Judge Surveyer, said that he was married to the first cousin of Mrs. Monette. His Lordship dis- missed Mr. Chatbonneauh objection, holding that the motive of recusstion set down in the Code of Procedure applied to s judge and could not be extended by anal to jurorsf otherwise the motive for disqusli tcatlon would have been specifically mentioned in the article of the Code, which constituted a law of excep-
