report, the text of which appears below. This was followed by the Secretary's report by Mr. G. E. Sharron.

A lengthy discussion took place regarding the lack of employment of returned men on projects at the Charlottetown Airport. It was rec- ommended that the Charlottetown Branch press for an investigation of the matter.

Colonel Nicholson, Montreal, then gave a hzort but interesting address referring to various Legion matters He told the meeting that the Pro- vincial Command was well rep"- ssnted at the Dominion meeting by Lt. Col. H. D. Johnson.

Colonel Nicholson also referred to the work being done by Hon. Dr. Cyrus MacMilian on the Pensions and Rehabilitation commission the findings of which are well received in Ottawa.

The Legion has always advocated a sane policy and its recommenda- tions have always received timely and attentive hearing by the Gov- ernments in power.

At the conclusion it was decided to leave the setting the date and place of the next convention to the new executive.

Following the regular convention, a meeting of ilxe new executive was held and Mr. G. E. Sherren was re- appointed Secretary.

National Mobilization

Whereas the Canadian Legion at its last Dominion Convention in Montreal in 1940 adopted the foi- lowing resolution:

“The Nation now being at War this Convention reaffirms the prin- ciples of the resolution passed at Niagara Falls in 1932, reaffirmed at Ottawa in 1934 and again at Fort William in 1908. and calls upon the Government to take immediate steps to conscript the man power, wealth, national resourcesbusiness, industrial and other institutions so that we may wage war with the full vigor of the Nation."

Therefore Resolved that this Convention of the Prince Edward Island Command assembled at Charlottetown desires to place it- self on record as being in favour of the resolution, and would strong- ly urge tho Dominion Command energetically to continue pressing for its fulfilment,

Further Resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Dom- inlon President of the Canadian Lngion, BBBL. and to the Premier of Prince Edward Island. _,

lo Veteran; Bonded Out

Resolved that veterans who are about to be boarded out as medical- ly unfit for the active service force be employed at training centres. police work on trains. railway sta- tions and such other suitable mill- tu-ry services that they are capable of performing, thus relieving the young and fit men for the active service forces.

However, it was pointod out that an army cannot be recruited and at the same. time the pensions increased.

The result was a unanimous re- port which contained amendments to the pensions act which were a- dopted. The commission was made practically unanimous and given jurisdiction to deal with men who never served outside Canada. I‘. was also recommended that men be retained in the army not exceed- ing six months after the date they

would be discharged if there was no prospect of employment. Conthuing. Dr. MacMillan ex-

"Write the President today that you are against cur entry ‘into the Eurc-pcaii war."

On the other side were excerpts frcm speeches by Resident Roose- velt. and such isrlationists as Wheeler, himself, Senator Gerald P. Nye (Rep-North Dakota), form- er Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, and Charles A. L ndbeigh. i

Duty to Perform

The speaker reminded the veter- ans that they had a task ahead t-f them when the present war ends.

At the close of the last war, they had minded over a world they thought was safe for freedom to a people too young for service anti to those too old for it. Referring to books written about the last \‘>'1ll' he declared that they had JO!’- trayed the grimnier side of the struggle and had failed to emphat- size the moral issues at stake. These were read in the schools and the universities with the result it n: Leagues of Pence, social Recon- struction. Brotherhood, etc, began to function. When this was going on the veterans were sitting back "in a sleep Walker's world." In England 10.000000 youths were de- manding "peace at any price." As a result the world is in the mess it is today.

Dr. MacMillan charged that right up until 1939 such practices were going on in the universities of this country. Petitions were sent in large quantities to Ottawa. "Young girls and boys were being exploit- ed by demagogues," he added. Young people were being told about the new order whch Hitler would create. Su Ii things as pensions. housing and sooal security, wh'ch were prcm‘scd in this new order are nothing new; they have been in existence in England for hun- dreds of years.

He warned against these ai- tcmpts of subversive elements a- mong the young people of this country. The Legion must see that. the moral issues are and the youth convincsf that "our . way of life, the way of our fathers, 1' is wor'|~ fighting for and worth dy- y ing for." f

Premier Campbell, in repcnse to a toast to the Province, spike of the wonderful contribution Prince Edward‘ Island has made in the re- nruiting campaign. "The perceniagc of enlistment is grerrer in prrpoz- tion to the population than in nnv other province or centre in Canada," he declared. I-Ie urged citizens of the province to curtail the c:n- sumption of pork products and pet- roleum products-particularly gas- olirie—to assist further the war effort The toast to I-Iis Majesty's Forcn was responded to by Llcut.

Quebec United

Responding to the toast to The Canadian Logion, LieuL-Colonel W. C. Nicholson, D.S.O., M.C., K.C.,s Dominion First President, Montreal. spoke of the resolution which had been adopted in Quebec at a recent meeting urging compulsory military service. I-Ie assured his listeners that the people of that province were strongly united with the rest of the Dominion in the war effort. l-fe stressed the need for an "all out" effort and added that the Government should make known to the people all the exigencies of the war. In conclusion, he stated that th‘s “must be a war to the end." No heed should be paid to "'I"e squealing of the Hun." The people of Germany must be given a dose of their own medicine so that they will learn that "might backed by spirit is better than might backed by dishonesty."
