Such a policy, he main- tains, fails to assure a stistainetl, adequate flow of trained soldiers to the battle fronts as long as they may be required, and loaves an open ques- tion as to whether future shortages will be promptly met. The King Government's manpower policy still remains tiiistated and unknown. As tho bavimw Purl-Record points out, its order-in- council regarding 16,000 Home Army call-tips iS not a policy, but an emergency measure rend- ered necessary by the lack of policy. It may or may not be followed by similar measures to meet similar emergencies. But clearly this hand- to-mouth use of conscription lacks method and nefiniteness of purpose. To confuse the situa- tion still more, two ranking Ministers of the Crown, General LaFleche and General Mc- Naughton, still persist in claiming that even the timid instalment 0f conscription the Govern- ment authorized in November would not have been necessary if voluntary recruiting had been given a “fair trial," implying apparently that there may be no further conscription measures while the \var lasts. The whole situation is dis- quieting and discreditable. Perhaps before polling in North Grey, the Government may evolve and announce an honest-to-goodness man- power policy, which everyone will be able to interpret intelligently.

Major Eisenhardt. It should not be necessary to point out the great body-building value of skating in iheopen air. most necessary to students, who by the very nature of their work must. spend long per- iods of time indoors in cramped positions. In view of this, the ac- tion of the Provincial Govern- ment becomes all the more incom- prehensible.

The statements made by the Minister of Public Works-"bosrris badly needed at Falconwoozi," “Improvement in appearance of College grounds", 1n the light of these facts. seem t0 us trite and inconsequential. We feel privileged to ask if the only rough boards obtainable on Prince Edward Isl- and were those of the College rink. It is hard to consider the dressing rooms of the rink (still left behind the College), the road machinery, oil drums and other objects now behind the College. as factors likely to contribute to tlic artistic appearance of the giouiids. The Government is “consideriii;.i" building an administrative build- ing behind the College. Surely it. would be time enough to tear down the rink after the Government had decided to erect such a building", not while they were only “consid- erliig." No doubt this "consider- ing" process will occupy a consid- erable lengtlt of time.

I hope that these few state- ments, only a small part; of what might be said on the subject. may help the Minister of Public Works to understand why all the "fins"- Ls being,made nbnut the removal of the College rink. I am. Sir, etc. NOEL IilacNEVlN. Editor, the College “Tlmcs"
