Parliament Too ‘Sissy’?

.Apropos the suspension from the House of Commons of Dr. Herbert Bruce for denounc- ing the Government's family allowances bill as I "bribe", the Toronto Globe and illnil wonders whether the present Parliament isn't being dom- inated by “panrv-ivaists" in fear of strong words. It recalls that Alexander MacKenzie called the Macdonald (iovernment an "organized hypoc- risy" without a suspension penalty; and that Sir Wilfrid Laurier described Sir Hibbert 'l‘up- per's charges against Major \\'alsh as "con- ceived in absolute anti wanton malice", and an aspect of the Borden Government's naval policy ll "a auahlous and immoral violation of the fundamental rulcs of British parliamentary gov- ernment" without the Speakers reprimand.

The (Ilolw am! J/iiil could have gone fur- ther, suggests the OHim-n Journal. It could have looked up some of .\lr. Mackenzie King's char- acterizations of .\lr, Mcighrns “shadow” Gov- ernment, antl would have found rich evidence for its case in some of .\lr. .\lcighen's speeches. There was the turbulent night. for example, when Meighcn told .\lr. llennett that he was the “gvaniilphone of .\l.'tcl\'cnzie and Mann."

The (Ila/lie and Jlni/ could have gone, too, to the Mother of Parliaments: back to the days of Fox. Pitt, Burke and Sheridan, and down through the era of O'Connell and Disraeli on through to the days of (Tliamlierlaiii and Lloyd George. lt might have recalled (irattans fairi- ous philippic against Flood; "Sir, I say it to your beard. you are not an honest man." It might have recalled O'Coniiell's description of P l: “He has a smile like the gleam of a silver

p te on a coffin." lt might have pointed to Disraelis charlcterizatioii of Gladstone: _ "A sophisticated rhetoriciait. inobriatcd

with the exuberance of his own verbosity. and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an intcriiiiii- able and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and glorify himself."

It might have recalled, too, Lloyd George's gearing remark to J00 Chamberlain: “While the empire expands the Cliamberlainls contract". or T, P, O'Connor's "Jutlasi. hurled at the same loe; or Cihaitiberlaiifs own retort to John Dil- lon: "the honorable gentleman is a 200d 1111123 of treason": or Justin McCarthy telling John Bright that "his generous impulses of youth have been succeeded by a mean olll 329-"

TllfW‘ have never bscn afraid of strong words in the hlothci‘ oi Parliaments, Perhaps it is be- cause they have rcalizetll that angcr is among the cleanest of passions. and that indignation, even ifiexpresscd in hard or perhaps cruel langu- age. at least indicates devotion to a C0l1\'1CllOl1 .__,.-1,iCh is not .1 llflll thing.

Aiding the Bombed-Oul

Hugh Daltiir, pre-ideii: of the llritish litiar-‘l of Trade. rctiily a lleyi neiit of Commcrcr. says he can provide 11lilll_\' furniture for three people, exclusive of carpets and crockery, for about $175. l-iiirnitvrv iiicliiiles a double bed. l single bed, a tll'L‘~'~Cl' with iilirtru‘, a dining table, two 3l‘11lCll.'ll1'.< and six small chairs. TlIESIJ furnishings would cost ziboiii $600 in iioii-titil- ity furniture, if thc-v could be obtained at all in wartime. People who iptalify‘ for utility furni- ture. have first call on the supplies of titility sheets, pricc-controllcil blankets and utility ma:- tresscs. This is zirrziiigeil by means of "priority dockets." The people who can apply for these dockets are ire-title whose homes have been bombed; people setting up house because they have yvliiug children 1.1- Jiri- i-xpcctinu a child: couples married on or ziittti" ptcitilicr 1, tofu): couples who propose to itizirry within three months; and people who nccd a bed for the growing child.

Only about one |uarter of the total production of bedding will be reserved for docket holders; the greater oart will be sold in the shops iii the ordinary way to thc general public.

Clausewitz

It is hardly possible to read a military com- nentary without sooner or later coming across the name of Claiisewitz. \\'ho was this fellow? He was a Prussian general and military writer, born near Madgchtirg in 1780, whose family. originally Polish, settled in Germany at the end of the previous century. He entered the Army in 1792, and saw his first active service in the 1793-4 Rhine campaigns, receiving his com- mission at the siege of Mainz. In 1801 he was admitted to the Berlin academy for young of- fieers, then directed bv Scharnhnrst, after whom the modern German battleship was named. On the latter's strong recommendation he was made Adjutant to Prince August, serving in that cap- lcity at Jena, in 1806, and being captured by the French along with the Prince. In 1810 he married Cotintess Marie von Ilriihl.

On thc outbreak" of the Russian war in I812, Clausewitz, like ninny other Prussian of-' ficers, took service with his country's nominal enemy, and he negotiated the Tauroggen Peace and later superintendcd thc formation of the Landwehr of East Prussia. He was Chief of

Later he served in the same capacity to Field Marshal Gneisenau, and in 1831 died at Breslau of cholera. His copious military writings, collected and edited by his widow, rank as classics, especially "Vom Kriege," which is an exposition of the Some German militarists blame Clausewitz‘ teachings for the failure of the German plans in the last war, but his dis- ciples attribute the failure in the present one to their neglect.

Lindbergh was impressed by Ger- man efficiency and the number of German planes which were ready to go into action. If he had known anything about world history he would have known that the race ls not always to the swilft or the battle to the strong. He would have known something about British tenacity 1n the face of danger. But all Lindbergh knew was airplanes, and he made his judgment on the basls of what he knew.
