Dodging National Responsibility

liarly in November it was announced from Ottawa that the govermiietit was taking steps to facilitate the entry 0f refugees into Canada from Portugal. The atinouncentent was ap- plaudcd by Canadian newspapers and attracted considerable favorable notice in the United States. C.‘111ada, it scented, had awakened at last to the plight of the refugees from llitleristn .1111} was going to do something to alleviate their suffering.

In order that these families may be rescued, the govcrnmetit has thrown the entire respon- sibilitv for 111cm 11111111 private charitvj.

The expenditure on war to date has piled up the public debt little short of $1).oo0,000,oo0 a: the end of the year, even though lfinance 1\1i11~ 1s1c1‘ l. L. Ilsley has from the bcgintiiitg sOuglt‘. 1o keep to a minimum the amount of money t0 be borrowed from the people. The total money placed at his disposal since the outbreak of w.11 has been over $1o,o00.ooo,oo0. at least half of it by tax revenue, a11d the remainder 011 bond sub- stlriptions and the purchase of war savings certificates. And none of this huge outlay is making much provision for cushioning the na- tion against the shock of demobilization. But. the National Unemployment Insurance fund will by the end of another year total about $200,000,000, which is a tidy sum and capable of taking care of many of the jobless should there be any considerable cessation of munitions making within the next I8 months. The grin". fact faces us that the war is yet far from iron, that vast expenditures have yet to be made. c11- ormous sums of money ‘raised for the next two years at least, and the prospects 0f any sizable reduction in the financial burden 10 be borne by this country are exceedingly dismal.

Alontreal’: historic Presbyterian theological College on ltlcTavith ltreet was taken over by the navy 011 January f for use as a barracks for wo- men of the \VRCNS, according to a tentative agreement between the hoard of ntattagemeut and the Department of National Defence, naval division. Negotiations have been in progress for some time over the leasing of the building, which has served as a McGill University student resid- ence since the college and faculty were ntovctl t0 Knox College, 'l"oronto, by decision of thc Lien» cral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Chartered lgefore Confederation, in 1865 by the Quebec Legislature, the college this year marked its 78th anniversary, though actual classes did not begin urtil 1867. 'l'hc original bitilditig on 1\Ic'l‘avisl1 street was built in 1872 and con- siderably enlarged and improved 1o years later through the laenefactions of the late David Mor- rice. At the time of the action by the General Assembly last June, \\‘1‘llCl'l moved the faculty and students to Toronto at least for the duration of the war, many local Prcsbyterians were opposed to the closing of the ancient institution and it is still hoped that the college will be rcopcnetl after the war. With the navy in the Presbyterian Col- lege, all three theological colleges on the .\'IcGill campus will ltavc been temporarily occupied by the armed services. The United College houses the RCAF, which also shares the Diocesan Col- lege with the lntcrtiational Labor Office and the

few students ictnaining. The army has taken
