So many lenders have volunteered that. the Boy Scouts Association of Montreal Is concerned about, the loss. which can only be made up by the acquisition of new recruits. This scarcity of leaders comes at a time when the Scout Troops and Wolf Cub packs are eager to ex- pand their training and enlarge their scope of service.

To this advice Mr. Pendergast ntakes no reply and as pit-wood can be cut and ship- ped In a variety of sizes, there is good reason to suspect that Indis- crimtnate cutting ts taking place. Mr. Pendergast evtdentLv does not appreciate the great need of woodland in this Province. for the withholding of snow and razn, particularfv when the bushes are of sufficient depth to prevent. p011- etration by the sun and wind. The tree hedge; to which he refers, that surrounds many of our fields. are of little or no value In thIs latter respect.

NAintFATuYBVIaTItNMiJ-NT NEEDED Sirz-The exigency for a National Government, to represent and fully unite all Canadians 1s becoming more obvious and urgent as the blunders of our present. party gov- ernment. grow larger and more dangerous. The three outstanding mistakes that fiend 1,0 strengthen the belief that the cautionci-atic, cajoling policy of party rule must. give way to a vigorous, rion-iaartisan type of National Administration are: the intermtxing I political patronage and policy with the essentials of defense as seen In the planning of the compulsory training scheme; the poor response of the people for subscribing to the ‘ National War Loan; the abuse of the privilege the censorship tows by the politic- Inns. There are two monstrous, rutn- ous defects that. make useless the whole Idea of the thirty day train- ltlg‘ scheme. The first Is that. the time allotted Is totally Inadequate in which to mould a civilian into a. modern warrior worthy of tho name, The other fault. of this plan is that. no officers are available, or are being made available, 1n the quantity and quality needed to lead a mass of 300.000 men, Why a smaller but better trained and equipped conscflt army was not decided on was the fault of part- isan, nIcIou-s. sneaking, selfish politic ans. The government, being a party government, must, always play at politics so they planned to ktlt .wo birds with one stone by follow- tng this wasteful, useless middle of the road policy. They are at- teflllittng to satisfy and pacify these people advocating conscrip- tfon mad ting a. WIndGW-dresa- In; tltu for the rent thing.

The ccnsorshl la-ws have been diverted front tliolr primary object of National safety to a secondary urpcse as a weapon of the min- stci-s to t-ovcr up the more drab points of their war effort. Tum-e rcgtilations have been tisctl by the government to strangle and t-Iioke the press and opposition in orttcr that any itnfavournble reflections on the work of t-he admiztistrtttois may be kept. quiet. Mr. King has used his autocratic powcits to flat- ly refuse the opposition a secret. session in which the war effort. might be reviewed and tin-rd. On the other hand Mr. Churchill not. only looks forward to but invites such debates tivhiuti characterize a democratic government. In view 0f these outrage; and abuses of democracy no one with a conscience and a iovo of the Empire can fail to see the nwd of a National Government.
