Where there is negligence, i itert-nre or shortsiglttedness on their part, the results are plainly discernable in the work of the school, in the attendance of pupils, and in the calibre of the teacher. The prime responsib- ility for obtahtiiiq competent trustees rests with the lallilllC. and cannot be evaded without dis- astrous consequences. Prime Minister Churchill’! eloquent appeal for the "tools" to achieve victory in the war in which we are engaged. might aptly be applied to our cdticztiitiital prohlcut.

And to cap the climax of a glaringly inconsistent speech, he gravely and solemnly sffirmed that his whole policy with regard to military service was based on his de- sire to ntaintain "tiational unityt," for the better prosecution of Catiadzfs war effort. “The ostensible purpose of Mr. King's trans- Canada tour is to procure recruits for overseas service. Why then did he not appeal simply and earnestly for volunteers, stating the urgency of the situation, and leaving it at that? Why did he drag controversial POIIIICS into a recruit- ing campaign? Why did he deem it necessary or expedient to denounce the opponents of his Government, at the very time when he was urg- ing his hearers to forget politics and make the greatest sacrifice mcn can make for a cause which involves the existence of our Empire and the life. of our civilization? “It seems simply amazing that Mr. King does not even yet understand that there is no serious (livision of the people of Canada as between the voluntary and compulsory systems of recruiting, but that there is, on the other hand, a deepening conviction that his reiterated pledges against conscription are militating against the potency of the appeal for voluntary recruits."

The Ukraine is the third largest of the republic; which go to make up the Union of soviet Socialist Republics. Before Russia added to it. the Ukrainian sections of Poland tn 1939, the Ukraine had an urea of 450.000 square kilometers, almpst as large as Germany. 'I'his area had a population of some 31 mlll- ion. including large Russian and Jewish minorities living mostly 1n the towns. The Ukrainians do not all live in the Soviet. They are a Slavic people ‘speaking a. language different from but. nkln to the Russian. Although there has never been n. unlfted Ukrainian state embracing all the Ukrainian peoples there has been for years a. national feeling which became intensified during the nineteenth century. Before 1914 many Ukkraintans lived in Austria- Hungary. where they were known as Ruthenians. The collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917 saw the setting up of an autonomous Ukrainian government 1n Kiev. 'l‘lte Germans and Austrians, need- ing the bread of the Ukraine. en- couraged such a move, but when the Boshevlsts pushed south into Kiev the Austro-Germans occupied the Russian Ukraine and set. up as a ruler General Skoropadskt. The German occupation. however, was opposed by the Ukrainians and they assassinated the German Field Marshal Von Eichorn. I Q O I Collapse of Germany tn 1918 meant the end of German domin- ation of tunv part of the Ukraine, whereupon the Ukralnlans began battling for their independence ‘Ihev were not unsuccessful. and by the treaties of Riga. 1920-21. the Soviet and Poland recognized independence of a Ukrainian ‘Re- public.
