Turning to Mr. Chalolll. the Ali°Tll°Y'G¢"' eral said that “instead of sowing patriotism in the hearts of our youths, you are sowing defeat- ism. You are destroying the spirit of sacrifice, the spirit of patriotism, you are putting it in i the heads of youths that they will never be call- ed on to fight."

Mr. Casgrain added: “It is unfortunate to see a man like our honorable friend making a cant- paign such as lie is now. If I had his intellig- ciice and culture I would use it for a better cause than he is using it for today.

“Some profit by the misfortunes of others to gain their end. Some, under the pretext of de- fending the rights of their fellowmen, attempt to make political capital.

"I ask my honorable friend if after some of his meetings how many would enlist even to defend their own country? I feel sorry for the youths following some who are trying to lead them today.

“He who loves France so much, let him use his intelligence and his culture to make people tuiderstaud that they must love one another and if not love, then they must collaborate one and all."

The more fact of preparing plan: would g0 a car/am disfmicr to alleviate the anxieties of our rilisrnr, while the readiness of such plans would be an important step forward in the case of’ emergency." ~

Accordingly we find Hon_ Mr. Ralston, on Feb. 25, writing his cabinet colleagues Mr. blichaiicl, hlinister of Transport and Mr. Howe biinister of Munitions and Supply, to this ef- feet: “The matter of the Prince Edward Island ferry is becoming increasingly acute. I know that it is difficult st s. time like this to con- sider vessel construction, except what is ah- solutely necessary for war purposes. At the same time I think it would give Prince Edward Island citizens some heart if it were known that the Dominion Government was having prepar- ed the necessary plans and specifications and Ill the course of such preparation were exploring fully the possibilities of construction in Can- sda and United States. The men fact of [Wk paring plan: would go some diriance tort/Md: al- leviating the anxietyt of Prince Edward Island residents, and convey to them that there is no disposition on the part of the Government to mark time, but that the matter will be forwarded just as early as possible."

Col. Ralstori enclosed for his colleagues’ in- formation “clippings which will show you how concerned the people of the Province are", and says he feels they are entitled to the very best that can be done: “(a) to reassure them; (b) to avoid a catastrophe; (c) to have the plans put in hand and every possible step taken so that plans may be commenced as earlyasiis human- ly possible."

In the lengthy correspondence tabled at the request of the Opposition on Tuesday, there is nothing to show that the King Government has bridged one iota from its attitude, express- erl in January, i942 by Prime Minister King in a l('iI(‘l' t0 [Wt-mici- iiamphell, that "it is not piissilile m justify tbc diversion of wartime in- dusiw in the- construction of s. second ferry stcamfi‘ as a project of WZIYIIITIC importance and ncccssilyz" 'l'li.'il is ivlicrc imissionary work is nccdcd nt (iiiiziwa and where otir own federal TCIJFCSUIIUIIIVKJS appear to have failed lament- sbly.

"A mobilization law for service in Canada was Prime Min- ister King like others could not picture France's fall. I ask my honorable friend if we have conscription for overseas? Has anyone been stint overseas against his will?" '

Mr, Chalout replied that "thousands snd thousands have been forced to go overseas uv- dcr disguiscrl means."

"Canada is so much in danger,” Mr. Casgrain said, "that stibmnrines are coming up the St. Latvrcnce. Some said that when the first tor- pedoing occurred that it was propaganda to al- low the imposition of conscription. When it was shown that it was not camouflage or pro- prigandn they about-faced and said that the gov- cruuiciit wasn't protecting Canada"

The Federal Government estimates about 14,- 000,000 gallons of industrial alcohol will be manufactured from wheat in Canada during 1943. This output will require about 7,000,000 bushels of wheat. Sales of industrial alcohol manufactured in Canada during 1942 amounted to 5.450000 gallons, of which about 1.400.000 - gallons was made from 700.000 bushels of wheat. Thirteen Canadian companies are engaged in production of industrial alcohol from whcat.

All the world wondered. s- s- o a This session, says an Ottawa correspondent, there have been murmurings in corridors about the income tax deduction from the sessional in- , demnity, and more particularly the latest ruling that expenses incurred in attendance at Parlia- ment are not deductible from the income tax payable. It has been argued that $3,200 is not enough ~to adequately compensate legislators for the time they spend in Ottawa and the business they lose at home in consequence of that attend- ance omparliamentary business. A suggestion has been made, and not by a legislator, that to pay the mcntbcrs $400 by the month throughout the year, and not on a sessional basis and abolish the franking and other privileges, would be better for all concerned. The other privileges include rail transportation for the wives and families of dependents of legislators. They have no statutory right to this transportation for oth- crs than ilicmsclvcs but they have no (lifficnlty in getting a form which when filled otit pro- duces the required extra rail tickets.

An effort to determine the derivation of the word indicates that it is a mixture of Grimm, Elf and Goblin, while another, which carries more conviction, is that it is due to the fact that gremlins were originally gob ins that came out of Fremlinc beer bottles; or alterna- tively that the blend was Graham's Iiager and Fremllnls beer‘.

“Why is it," asks the St Louis Star-Times, "that the average per- son can distinctly henr a clock tick across the room. vet can't hear the radio from a, distance of eight feet if it isn't turned up to hog-calling vo time?"

Prom Norton-on-Tecs comes this delightful ‘stcijv concerning" the arithmetic lesson in a Yorkshire village sclioc]. The teacher had Just explained subtraction to the class, and emphasized that the num- bers musi. be of the sz-iriie denom- ination. As the scholars looked quiie biank at this remark, he add- ed: "Yor can't take six potatoes from l0 turnips. or l5 sheep from 20 cows" Some of the children pondered this explanation deeply, and then up spoke a faim incl with gran; emphasis: “You hev ter tak l5 “can fro 2.’) cows if t'slicep are yours and they've gotten inter some- bod'-"s cow pasture," he decarcd. Embolclened by this remark, another bcy put up his hand and said: "And, please sir. can't you take 10 apples from two trees?" By this time the teacher decided the whole subject was drifting out of control, and the leson ended. —Leeds York- shire Post.

li. was alter Dunkerque that the British r0 led up their sleeves, drcp—' ped quarrels between management and employees, and started to pro- duce, so that when the Germans came over later in the year in a ferocious aerial assault, the coun- try had made preparations to meet them. It was then that American lend-lease came into play, and our arsenals poured out weapons that the British so sorely needed. The unpreparedness of the democracies for war almost brought victory to the Nazis. When, in May 1940, we started to prepare as c measure of precaution, we had to start practic- ally frem scratch. Britain went. into the war so unprepared as to be a1- most criminal. If there is one thing that we must learn from the tragic experience of the past, it is that the democracies never again, so long as a threat of aggression exists, be caught so miserably unfitted to conduct war. -—Pi'ovidence Journal.

War has spilt up the most fam- ous team of horses in Britain, the Windsor Greys, which in peace- time drew the King's carriage at State functions. When war broke out, the horses were moved to Windsor, and as the Heed for gaso- line economy grew, and the demand for food production increased, they were put to work on the Royal Farms on the Windsor Castle est- ate-_ away from all ceremony. Some of the team of eighteen were already middle-aged when war broke out, and have since died,- for the time being they will not. be replaced. Be- fore the war, the Greys were most. popuar with visitors to Windsor Castle, who ignored the line of Royal car; drawn up in the vard of the Mews, but concentrated on the horses in their tiled loose-boxes. However dignified the horses might look, it was found that they were usually willing to relax when offer- ed sugar! -Montresl Star.

The value of dogs ln war ls being more widely understood through- out: the fighting services, not. least by the Air Puree. The War Office has two considerable training schools; but the Air Force, through the Ministry of Aircraft Production. has to issue a public appeal, and it boasts a more cathoiic taste. Ooilies, niredales, alsatians, or their cioss-breds, bull terriers snd cer- tain classes of mastitis are all wel- comed. Now there seems to me to be some confusion ti thought, as wit- nesscd by this list. If dogs are wanted as watch-dogs to give the slann, the noisy dog is more useful than the fierce dog; and among the noisiest are terriers of most breeds, except alredsles. ‘These terriers. on the other hand. are among the best of police dogs. because they are quiet and have very acute ears The best do for carrying messages should the Westmorland sheep- dog (perhaps of that curious breed which often has eyes of different color). It would be wise if s central breeding, an ws‘! as training, centre were established on behalf of the fighting services. so that any unit could indent for just the sort of dag that its needs suggested. since good dogs vastly excel man in the senses of smell and hearing, one dog may be the e uivalent of sev- eral men in any nig t work; and for carrying messages they are much less conspicuous and more rapid.- London Spectator.
