submarine Deutschland and the German report, t-rue t or false, that she carried away a cargo of nickel, gave _ the political ghouls a new string to their harp and C since then we have had that new scandal sown broad- 'a cast about the Canadian government selling nickel to

the Germans. The scandal grew to such an extent 0 that the British Admiralty found it necesary to give it e official contradiction and to declare that the Imperial

Government was perfectly satisfied with the arrange- e ments made by the Dominion Government forl the 0 handling of the nickel business. The Canadian gov- I ernment also otiicially stated that not a pound of Cana-

dian nickel had found its way to an enemy country 7 since the war began. Notwithstanding this the poli- ._

tical ghouls persist in repeating the scandal. _At the ll) recent by-election in Toronto it assumed its` most. brut- P

Hartley Dewart, declared that Canadian nickel was 3 being “supplied to the enemy and returned in the bod- d ies of our Canadian soldiers"l This, in the face of the

Canadians are today discussing the hgilding up of

the nation, the founding of a better Canada after the \var. lf we are to become a great nation, such a na~ tion as our natural resources should enable us to be- come, we must eliminate the meanness from our poli-` tics, we must learn to measure men, not by their misre-;

by their own proven and tested honesty and integrity. It has been well said that “patriotism is the last refuge '

_eil patriotism more contemptibly than in trying to per- suade the bereaved fathers and mothers that the gov-i ernment was a party to the death or mutilation of their sons.
