A Thricc-Honou red Guest

Prince Edward Island is proud indeed to be the second Province of Canada to extend a, welcome to the famous commander of British and Canadian soldiers in World War I1, Field Marshal the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, G.C.B., D.S.O., Chief of'the Imperial General Staff. .\s the Province with the finest record of eulistmcnts per population in the Domin- ion, it is fitting that we should be thus hon- oured. '

l! 1'5 11>‘ if, in Napoleonic timcs, the Duke of \\'cllingtoi1 ifire to pay us a call; for Vis-

' count Montgomery ranks with the Iron Duke among the great soldiers of all time. His brilliant successes in the field were of no less consequence to the world than those achieved by the victor of Waterloo. The very title bestow- ed upon l1ini—\'iscount of Alamein-n-ecalls One of the grcalcst battles ever fought.

That was in the autumn of 1942, and it markcd the turning vpoint of the whole war. The l_ieru1ans, it will be remembered, had made tremendous advances across North Africa, capturing Tiobrtlck and reaching El Alamein, thereby menacing the whole defenses of Egypt nnd the Stu-z Canal. Iilotitgomeryis Eighth Army held that line. They held it for months,

, until finally, when the time was ripe, when preparations down to the minutest detail _had been completed, “.\lonty" launched his attack. It! success was devastating. RommcVs tank units were bfOhCll up, and their remnants, together with much of his infantry, were taken, while the air superiority now definitely held by the Allies on this front enabled the destruction to be carried thrnuflliottt the length of the retreat- ing columns. The battle of Egypt cost the Axis 75.000 men, more than 500 tanks and 1.000 guns. The long and bloody chastisement of the Reichsiyeltr had begun. This time the advance did no; stop atEl Agheila as before, but con- tinued along the shores of the Gulf of Sirte into and beyond Tripoli-twelve hundred miles from El Alamein. '

An important feature of Viscount Mont- gomeryk visit tnday will be his meeting with war veterans, and it is hoped that as many as possible of our veterans of both sexes will make it a point to attend this afternoon's brief func- tion at Victoria Park.

Our citizens, too, are urged to show their enthusiasm by flying flags from their dwellings and places of business, as well as by turning out in large numbers. That is expected of us. Ind surely not without reason. How many times during the war did we not have cause so say, “ 10d bless Montgomery!”

And now,—here he comes in person! We are not a demonstrative people, it is true; but for once we should be able to wear our hearts upon our sleeves and shout our salutations.

Star's Revolt

The Montreal

The fllonlrcal .S'tar,\whicl1 has supported the King Government abjcctly for the past six years or more. seems at last to have reached the point at which it can function no longer as the journalistic defender of the indefensible. The Government's record of drift and ineptitude with respect to the steel strike, and its offi- cial amnesty for draft dodgers and deserters, have moved The Star to protest,-mildly but “firmly-and to'criticize for the first time since the outbreak of war, the King Cabinet's course ‘of action on tnattcrs of major importance. Commenting on the slow and protracted inquiry before thefilouse Committee on In- dustriel Relations, The Star notes the failure of all efforts at negotiating a settlement of the strike, and say§= "In the circumstances we believe that the “Itelt/Inove that can be made towards a solution 6f this difficult and dangerous situation is the tlking of a secret vote under the supervision 9f the/Department of Labor of the employees T‘ the Steel Company of Canada at Hamilton to determine whether or not they want to go tbggktg work. If their vote is, as many people malts best possible position to judge believe 1g4ygn1d‘ be, in favor of a return to work, then we see no alternative to action by the Gov- whléh shall assure the adequate pro- ‘ ‘t which they are entitled for all work- matey, may. go to_ and from their work “upon plant without fear of molest- ’ some” .

remains one simple way in which these men can be forced.» to bear their merited stigma for years to come. Let members of Parliament insist upon the" publication of the names and addresses of these deserters and absentees in Plansard. The press of the nation, we are con- vinced, will see to the reproduction that will bring all these ‘under-the-mattress patriots’ the direct spotlight of public attention,—and con- tempL-they deserve."

The two points of criticism The Star im- plicitly takes against the King Government- its mishandling of the steel strike and its cap- itulation to the army descrtcrs-might have been more forcefully expressed but the very fact they have been raised in such a llSllflllV complacent quarter gives them all the more point and punch. \Vhen The llfontrcti! Slur balks against backing the King Government its case could hardly be worse.

The Battle 0f Crecy, fought this date 1346—memorable because the first in which cannonowcre used. In a manuscript copy

of Froissart preserved at Amiens the follow- ing passage on artillery occurs: “El Ii .411_q!r.r descliqttercrlt aucuns canon: que il azrairnt en Ia bataille pour erbn/tir Ic: Genroois." Villani a contemporary also states cannon were used at Crecy, s0 it is assumed that artillery, though of a very simple and portable kind, were first employed on this historic occasion when Edward III invaded France. 4- n- x 4-

A scheme to link English schools with schools in Belgium and to put individual chil- dren in the two countries in touch with one an- other is announced by Britains Ministry of lidu- cation. Its purpose is to improve Anglo-Bel- gian relations by the exchange of correspond- ence and by pairing schools of similar interests and background with a view to the interchange of pupils and holiday visits. A similar scheme between France and Britain was started in November last and has created wide interest. Fifteen thousand children in English schools are now corresponding with a similar number of French children and 25o schools in Britain have been directly linkcd with schools in France.

i: e According to a British Information Bulle- tin a miniature motor-car, specially constructed as a means of locomotion for disabled ex-serv- ice men and crippled persons. has been shown in London. The car is constructed as a single- seater and its construction enables the controls to be worked in accordance with the driver's disabilities, either by foot or by hand, or by a combination 0f both. It should have a cruis- ing speed of 35 miles per hour with a gasoline consumption of 65 miles per gallon. The chas- sis is so narrow that it can enter a narrow gateway 2’6” in breadth and can be garaged in the smallest shed. The selling price of the car is £198 ($7921. l‘

There need be no tmneccssary alarm over sporadic cases of infantile paralysis, though every precaution should be taken. The symp- toms: Sore throat, fever, headache, fIZILISCG. muscle stiffness-are much like those of the common cold, polio is hard to diagnose in its early stages; the only sure way is to inicct an extract from the patienfs cxcreln into a laboratory animal. Some pertinent polio facts: The disease seems to strike hardest at the healthiest; because children with vitamin de- ficiencies seem to resist infection, doctors sur- mise that the polio virus does not thrive on undernourished body cells. For rcasons- still unknown. pregnant women are especially re- sistant to the scourge of polio. There js nu proof that polio is spread by flies, drink-in: water, milk, swimming in infected waters. From all the research, one clear, conclusive finding has emerged: laboratory animals or human be- ings are most susceptible to polio after, 1, ex- hausting exercise; 2, a plunge into cold water in hot weather; 3. a totisillcctotny.

Mr. Maurice Webb, a London journalist with a reputation as an authority on interna- tional affairs, is now a Member of Parliament, but for many years he sat in the Press Gallery of the House of Commons. Recently, at the BBC overseas microphone, he told of an amus- ing incident that took place in the House and involved the Press Gallery, most of the occu- pants of which suddenly burst info a roar of laughter-an unprecedented happening. The explanation was simple. Some weeks before in the Press Gallery rest room, there had been a spirited debate round the dinner table., and one excited pressman had got up and shouted: "The capitalist system is crumbling and col- lapsing before our very eyes." This became a catchphrase in the Gallery. One reporter would say it to another on the least excuse. One day. in the middle of e most important debate ln the Home, a Member suddenly got up and said those exec: words: "The capitalist system ls

(Saturday Night)

The one question which arises in everybodyfls mind concerning every possible proposal made or to be made at the Peace Conference l5 the question: Does tt improve or does It impair the ptsltlon 0f Russia? What is actually going on seems to be nothing less than a regrouplng of the territories of the world 1n two classes. those ~ which are friendly to Russia tend that means substantially those WlhlCh are dominated by Rush!) and those which are, not neces- sirilv unfriendly to Russia. but lndlsposed to be dominated by her. A more unpromlslng world-struct- ure 1t l5 difficult to imagine.

The Russians are clearly con- ivlnced that no nation -is their friend unless ft Ls one in which they are politically dominant, The Communist party in other nations is no longer greatly concerned a- bout the economic pattern npou which its nation's life is organ- ized; 1t ls concerned about the attitude of its nation Russia. If it cannot make nation subservient to Russia it. _w1ll endeavor to make it militarily land economically weak and pol- ltfcally vaclllatlxig and m‘ “‘ ‘ ltThe position of anti-Communist labor leaders deserves more symp- athy than 1t usually receives. for [they have to contend for the lead- tershlp of the unions against men who have no Interest In and no responsibility to anybody bulthelr lohtefs in Moscow. and who can advocate anything and promise anything however impossible which will wln them. votes.) No govern- ment is more bitterly hated by the Communists than one which ipursues the policies of Socialism without making Itself subservient to Rusla. as Ls at present the case with the governments of Great Britain and several other Western European countries.
