A Job For The Censor

This example of "how rumors start" is given in the Fllll-flcliil Post. A couple of weeks ago Prcnricr llqibtirn was in New York. He lunch- ed with a Chase National Bank vice-president. Someone ask-rd a policeman (part 0f the motor- cycle escort‘ froni lsrifiuardia Field) who was the “big shot" meeting the bankers. The cop said, “The Printc Minister of Canada." In an hour \\'.'1ll Street gossip had it that Canada was planning a. big loan in New York.

Tihat is all our Toronto contemporary says on the stibjcct. It misses the most interesting angle of the story altogether.

Fancy the commotion “Mitch" must have raised on being mistaken for-—of all persons- Mackenzie King! His language wouldn't have a ghost of a chance of getting past the censor. The New York papers boast of publishing “all the newt that’: fit to print," but we imagine the Ontario Liberal Premier would require more latitude than that on such an occasion.

How About Election Gas’?

The Evening News oplnee that the coming Nova Scotia election is going to present some problems for the boys in the back rooms who have to figure out ways and means of getting voters to the polls.

It is e ivell-established voters’ Wight" these days to demand to be driven to the polls in the shiny car of one of the candidate's supporters or in an CllllZilly fine vehicle hired for the day.

But the election in our sister Province comes near the end of the month and experience indi- cafes that about that time there will be a serious shortage of gasoline without which care will not run. The reason, of course, is that unnecessary gas consumption at any time is cramping Can- ada's war effort, and pressure is being applied to reduce this consumption to the minimum. lVith all the politicians running about Nova Scotia, cativ lug, fixing up disgruntled mem- bers of the [marry and making stump speeches, there will be an unusually heavy drain on gas reserves.

So by the time October 28 comes around, there won't hc much lcft_ "The privilege of vot- ing is stinuthirtg that should be treasured more than cw-r in thcsc days when it is being chal- lcngcd by llitlcr," says the News; "but just the satire \vc'll bet a good many people will be peev- cd ivhcn thcy arc told they will have to walk.

Saint john, N.B., City Council has called iti an expert to advise them how they can reduce their staff and effect other economies. In this they are following the lead of the Quebec Mun- icipal Commission which has already accomplish- ed marvel: by the adoption of measures for ini- proving conditions in Montreal. Statistics given out by Finance Director Lactanel Robcrge show that since the Municipal Commission took over there has been a drop of 1,376 in the number of employees to date. This is the breakdown of the diminution: On September 27, 1941, there were 1,733 permanent workers compared with 1,859 on May 1940; 524 semi-permanent eni- ployecs against 947; 1,633 members of the police department against 1,570; 993 members of the fire department against 1,002; and 2,511 auxil- iary workers (paid by the hour as needed) com- pared with 3,392. Whatever motive inspired the reduction, the saving to the taxpayers is obvious- ly a substantial one.

Deplorlng the tendency on the part of not s. few stey-et-home to justitfy their conduct by imputing that those of the older generation are getting the younger ones to do their fighting, New York Times declares that it is utter rubbish for slackers to slander the heroic, unselfish mo- tive of these who have voluntarily shouldered the burden. It is really untrue that those who do the fighting—the young-feel vcry differently about war from those who are too old to fight. It was not the older generation that started hos- tilities but German youth. Hitler's “Mein Kampf" is formally dedicated to sixteen men who fell in his abortive putscli of November, 1923. Their names and dates of birth are listed.

Fascist Remnants

(Sydney Post-Record)

A reminder that there are ltlll some remnants of Ital)": once powerful army scattered in a few of the mountain passes of Ethiopia, comes with the announcement of the surrender of the Fascist gun-l- son of’ Wolchefit in the Gmdlr sector of Hails Selassie’: restored kingdom. This garrison is mid to have numbered about 4,1100 men, who occupied a position o! con-- slderable importance because they commanded a. strategic pass which was eeslly held on account of geographical conditions. The sur- render of this force leaves abort 9,000 refugee Fascists under arms in Ethiopia. The surrender-id garri- son were a half-starved, ragged. wretched body of men.

"Before they yielded," the Rome announce- ment says, "this small unit of its-

‘llan and Colonial troops which had

held out against many attacks for five months made one his: sortie.

It was a gesture of defiance that cllmaxed one of the heroic episodes of the war. Crowning previous of- ferislve and defensive action, this Italian garrison carried out an audacious sortie, engaging and re- pelling numerically superior enemy forces and inflicting heavy losses on them." This ls Italy's last strong- hold in Ethiopia except Goudar, which 1e much more heavily de- fended but does not have strong natural defences comparable to those of Wolchefit. Since the Gon- dnr Italians are doomed, the Ethiopian patriots and the British are likely to let them take their time about, surrendering rather than sacrifice lives unnecessarily.

Unconquerables

(Norwegian Press Bureau)

On August 25 fifteen prominent icltizens of the town of Sandefjord |were ordered by telephone to ap- pear immediately at the local police station, says a message from Nor-
