Premier Churchilfs Speech

Tho Sllt‘f‘t'll yesterday 0i‘. Prime liiiiiisttu- Wiunttui Churchill, broad- cast iiuoiigliiitit tho Empire, was such as to inspire courage in tlic faiiitosi hturt. .\ii". Churchill made no 1i1"eti:ii,\~,- oi minimizing the gravity of the situuiiuii on the western trout. At the sumo time ho declared: "We mllSt not aliuv; uni-solves to be intimidat- cd", and .-~‘.ii".l we may look “with con-

fltliliivu" in iiio stabilization of the front in i-‘ritniwl, notxvithstziiitling the fin-inn..- drii oi tho enemy. “l have," Saul int- lirnish Prime Minister, “iii-

vim-lid.- t-uifiiluiire in the French arm)‘ 21nd its liuuivi-s." lie pointed otit that only a vrry small part of that spit-mini army has yct been hutivily eiigiignd, and only o. small part oi Pruitt-ti lli‘lii‘il'.‘lll‘ll. lii 011191‘ t0 3C" coiiipiisli v. iizit tliuy have done, the tlornnius art- thrtnviiig everything in- to the st-uiu. 'i‘hi~_v ctiiiiiot. in view of the 1iriti>h blut-lvzitle, aitord a p_I‘0- tractcd war. What they are seeking is an inunoiiitiiti dccisitm. The Allies. on tho uiln-r hand, have time oirtheir side. "Um" task," as Mr. Churchill ex- pressed it, "it not only to win this bzittlu but to win the war," and t0 that cnd “t\\‘i‘i'_\' last ounce and last inch oi‘ our ofiort" will be required. _ 'l‘inic and tigziiii the Prime Minis- tcr rcit-rrud to "our reserves"; fOFCQS

us leadership. There came to us, over the radio, at night, the negation of all leadership; the same old pallid phrases and sliopworm platitudes. We got a wordy sedative. \\'e heard the rlieioricank lullabyi. .\'o ivunder we are a nation ivzilking in its slcep.

"Bit! there are Canadians who realize our danger and our duty. We want action. We are content to trait no longer. lVe have had our fill of ivindy promises. We are sick to death oi futility and lllCIlpIlCliy. \\’e do not mean that Canada shall perish for lack of leadership. Par- liament is meeting. Parliament must catapult Canada into war. Without delay, Parliament should call half a million mcn to the colors and mobilize ic-n ilivisious for the battle front. Par- liament should drive through the Empire air training scheme. Canadian pilot: and planes should now be pouring into Europe. Parlia- ment should compel the upbniltling of our naval and coast dcfcnccs so as to frce the British Navy for its work elsewhere. Without a da_v’s delay, Parliament should ilcmaud a war cabinet in- vested with supreme authority to get results. The machinery of pcacc-timc democracy was ncvcr mcani io work in total war. To preserve IllL‘ csscucc of dcmocrzicy, we must in time of C1'i~l< be willing io reshape its form.

"To get rcstilis, Parliament must enact the law of national service. 1t must draft the man powcr and maicrial resources of the nation. But zhc government has givcn a prc~election pledge aggziiusr conscription. lt promised not to take the action which every warring nation in the world has found itself compelled to take.

"Arc we a warring nation? Does this gov- ernment incziu that Canaila shall really fight? This cri=is iiriuantls a government that docs. Whom do l speak for wlicn l speak this ivay? l hope l speak for the soldiers of the last war, for lllt‘ solilicrs (if ilsis ivzir, for those who have lcuoivu s: ll for lliﬁsf who arc now pru- pzircil for szirriiicr. 1 hope l spunk for (‘zin- nilizius who still bvlicve ilizii ilivir Ctllllllfy lS wurtli fighting for."

Mussolini’: Dilemma

(Globe and Mal!)

Anti-British deuionstratfons throughout Italy, the virulent poster campaign, street clashes and songs of hate are stage-managed by Mus- sohnrs personal lmpresarlos. And having whipped up fanaticism and tumult, It Duce goes through the motions of trying to keep the flies in check, meanwhile throwing cordon: oi’ troops around the Brit- ish and Frcnch Embassies. Noth- ing more hypocritical or shallow can be intagincti, barring the works of Goebbels and Von Ribbentrop.

Taking hlin at his own word, Mussolini yearns to go to war. It i: not for love of Hitler or to serve the Nazi war lord, but to serve the nets‘ Caesar, its he sees himself in tho Pahiua Vcnctia mirrors. He believes the struggle in the Iow- lands is about to provide the grand opportunity". But he cannot go about it honestly. Lackinq a. cause, he must create one. and he must unify tho tuition against the pro-Ally 1n- fiur-iice or t-hc Vatican and the Roy- al House of Savoy.

At first he tried to provoke the Alites into some overt action with which he could inﬂame public sentiment. But Britain and France sniisficd ihcmselvcs with mere pro- tcsts against. manifestations of Fascist spleen. and Mussolini has bccn obliged to fall back on the time-honored piietexts oi’ British control of Mediterranean outlets and naval domination. He is mak- iiiz bombastic capital. too of the British contraband control olicv at Gibraltar and Surz to fan he fires of bclligercucy among his volatile pcoplc. And Hitler is helping him with extravagant accounts of aerial successes against British battle- ships. cruisers and troopshlps off the coast of Holland and in the North Sea. The Admlrnltys cate- gorical denials. of course, are not printed in Italy.

The iatcst concoction out of Ber- lin for the benefit of the Italian pcoplc is that the capital ship “sunk" off Namstrs was not, alter a1, ouc nf the old Elizabeth type, like the Wnrspitc, but actually one of the ffvc new units of _ the King Gcorgc V, class. The NflZl drive tn the Low Countries. aclmittediv lmpiesslve, Ls magnified our, of .111 proportion. the Bcrlln communiques brim dcsiuucd as much for Italian‘ (‘ollﬁlllllnilon as they are to main-

er.

But the wetsuit of the Vatican is l-"mélldollll. and the sentiment a- mour! uppz-r-clnss Italians toward llll‘ Rqral House Ls a factor which Mussolini and his Blnckshlrt aym. pnaiits cannot lightiy ignore, A; Q last resort the Pontlff may, fig- llfﬂtlvcll’. raise the Cross to gm masthead: of the Alllctl battleships, b-“R! l-lll?
