The Guards’

Chapel

According to a recent London despatch, a robot bomb hit the 106-year-old Guards Chapel, only a stone's throw from Buckingham Pal- lcc, during a service attended by 250 persons. The robot bomb came over the barracks area Ind its engine stopped. wllich meant that it was about to explode, while the King's Guard of 36 H1311 was rit attention tcn _v.'l1‘ds from the chapel.

Nor is it any argu- ment to say that volunteer troops do not care to figllt side by side with conscripts. The whole British Army and all United States troops are conscripts, but no one ever heard of Canadians feeling superior to them on that account, or re- fusing to collaborate with tliein. \Vhile it is satisfactory’ to know that N.R..‘l..\. 111e1i are to go overseas "if the need arises" the question still remains as to who is to be the judge of the crisis. Military men in Canada are acting in respect to these troops as though the crisis was already upon us. Political expedience apparent- ly says ‘No l’ and there, ‘or the moment, the matter rests."

In Quebec the Liberals still think that they will retain power. The bitter struggle going on between the Bloc candidates and those of the Union Nationale is entirely to the atlvanlage of tlie Liberal party. Similarly, the presence of clcven Social Credit candidates serves the Lib- erals well, since in Quebec Province the Credit- ors zlre wholly or chiefly recruited from among the Nationalists.

These Clicrhotirg Frenchmen, says the Ot- tawa journal, were wt-ll supplied with radio: The BBC, the Vichy radio, the Berlin radio. That didn't satisfy tlieiii. 'I‘l1ey could listen to Ill the war conimuniqtics and to all the "com- mentators", btit still they were hungry for a newspaper; something in print they could read 11nd stud_v~—11ot something which, heard for a moment, could not be checked or thought about because it vanished froln memory.

.\nd thzit precisely is why radio can never be a stihstittite for the llC\\'.-‘]i3]lCl‘I the spoken word stihstitutcd for the printed.

Liberal Press ls Critical

From Liberal propaganda headquarters there issues weekly an “Uttriiva .\'cws Letter“ for pub- lication in Libcrzil iic\\'.<]>zipc1:. The latest issue attempts to deal wiili the ilraftee problem. It endorses Col. Ralstolfs statement that there is no need for conscription and says: “The fact seems to be that draftecs (an lv: tiseftilly cm- ploycd in defenw u-iirk on Cnuzulafs two coasts, Newfoundland and the liritish \Vcst Indies, a11d that tlierc arc plenty of volunteer reinforce- ments for Canadian army units engaged in vic- torious but l1cav_s' fighting abroad."

This i.‘ rln <'.\'t1'a1i1'<li11:11"_v statement indeed, il1 vicw of the Illlllfht hysterical pleadings in Government notices that these men should "Go .\ctivc." \\'l1y should they go active now, if they are on essential military" work and if they are to h: llF-Cll immediately the need arises?

The Halifax Chronicle, a Liberal paper, finds that it cannot swallow this propaganda. It is nfreshingly outspoken on the subject, too.

An amusing literary hoax has been perpetrat- ed by two Sydney poets whose collection of what they themselves describe as “ilonscnsicztl scut- c11ccs"_ was accepted by an Australian literary magazine as representing the work of a. “poet of tremendous power." 'l‘l1e autumn number of the tnngzizinc Angry Penguins dcvotcd 3O ptigcs to the .'\l.lSll'£lll.'lll poet "lfru .\lallc‘v", btlt it is now disclosed that "Mallcy" never existed and the “\vorks" attributed liim were written 111 a single afternoon by Corp. Harold Stewart and l.t. _l1'll‘l‘l€5 .\lc.~\ule_v, who deliberately‘ eon- coctcd tlic nonsense “to sce if it would get past.’ T he authors reveal that the first thrce lilies of the poem were lifted straight from an American report on drainage of breeding grounds of mosquitos.

This is how lo\v politics has fallen in Que- bec in the present provincial election. Premier Atlclzn-d Godbout speaking dilriug a thunder storm found in his own county of L'Islet time to declare that all farmers’ sons and young inen of rural parts who could be useful on the farm, could, even if they were army (lcserters, obtain exemption from military service, with possibly only two or three days punishment. This, said the Premier, was due to the fact that he was friendly with the Ottawa government. Three of Mr. Godbout’s colleagues, Hon. Leon Casgrain, EilfOTllQV-gﬁllﬁfill Hon. Hector Pcrricr, provin- cial secretary, and llon. Yalmore Bicnvenuc, minister of game and fish, were on the platform with the Premier ready to speak, but the plat- form itself became rainswept as the Premier was speaking and the meeting had to cud.

“Mr. Gorllioilt, too, got seriously out of step the other day when he either “got reported wrong" or clsc was “carried beyond what I actually wanted to say," so that his words did not rcflcet his thought.

We have Canadian clubs, the I.O.D.E., the Red Cross, church groups, the Y.W.C.A., little tiny clubs of women every- where who havc been giving of their time and energy to provide comforts for our soldiers, sailors and airmen. I have often thought to myself, what is going to happen to the energies of all these women when the war is over? I bc- lievc that many of these women's groups would welcome the idea if the‘ department started to organize these many things which arc needed on lielialf of mothers and children in Canada. S0 far as the work which is being done for the soldiers, sailors and airmen is concerned, the women do not care what rank a man has so long as he is in uniform. Then comforts and all kinds of things are provided for them. So it is with children; there is no difference between them. Whether they come from the homes of the poor or from middle-class homes, there are many things which need to be done for them. and I believe that this department which is being set up could help to give the women of this country something to go on fighting for and working for after the war is over rather than lcttiiig all their efforts and energy auckinitintivc lapse for want of stimulation, eo-orilinatioti and organization fro1i1 a government depart-
