Neutral soui"ccs indicated tilat Dakar, if taken by the Germans, might be used as a German-Italian submarine base for preying OIIBYIL- ish imports from South America. The de Gaulle comunl ue did not allude to this aspect of akars im- parlance. but did suy that tile clly had several important airports which the Germans had taken over, and from which lliev intended to re- sume air service to South America. Another reason for Daikarb im- portance to Britain, neutral sources said, was that a siege of Gibraltar plus loss cf Dakarcouid seriously illi- pair Britain's sea communications. The de Gaulle statement assumed for him full responsibility for the Dakar action, declaring that he had gone there with French military, naval and aerial forces in French ships under the French cnsigu, and that British ilavai forces were on hand only to assure "sllpplemenflli"v protection" against afiv attack that iiiav be inspired by Germans and carried out with their participation.

Adolph Hitler, whose only equal was the devil. Hitler planned his campaign and gave it to the world in one of his publications but he did not tell of the atrocities which he in- tended to do on the unsuspecting public and WlIiClI he has now un- folded on the world. The German leader has enor- mous capacities for cruelty, Dr. MacMillan sold and told how Hit- ler find shot down in cold blood 150 of the leading men of Ger- many because these men did not agree with his policies and meth- ods but wished to do something that would be in keeping with a. great nation. Hitler and Goerlng with a number of followers went into the homes of these men and called them from bed saying to each, "I advise you to commit suicide." When the men refused they were shot dead. This was the first step towards the events that followed. The campaign began with murder and has been mark- ed day after day ever since by the nlurdcr of innocent women and children. The foulest tragedy of all occurrcj a few days alto 600 miles off the British coast in the stormy Atlantic Ocean when Eng- lish children were drowned as they were coming to Canadian homes. Some people lost their entire fam- ilies. This attack was mode only to gratify the blood lust nf u maniac, International Laws Broken Dr, MacMilian continued by stating that i‘ tactics of Hitler wcrl- aizaliisi- .lll lnternatiotial laws of honour All lhc principles of Wllfflll‘? are lxilitg discarded.

In less than seven months the country was defeated and Germany was almost within grasp of world domination. Between Hitler and Ambition Stands But there stands between Hitler and his mad ambition one ob- stacle, the greatest. democracy the ivtirlti has ever known. a nation that believes ill Christianity and stands as one of the greatest bili- warks of freedom in the world- ihe British Empire. Continuing the speaker said that Hitler's refi- ime is the worst form of pakanlsln and if he should conquer". religious" frecrlnui. freedom of speech and everything we trcrlsilre would be, lost, Hitler has clinlltirlted God from the picture and aims to set up a Godless regime.

Dr. Mcaflllail said that the Brit- ish Empire was fortunate in this crisis in having a trained man of indomitable courage and gooli forc- slght leading tlucn.

Tile crdcl" has gone ollt froln the King and Prime Minister and we island ready to do our part. If we do not» we are not loyal cltiaens," Dr. MncMillan told the audience. Our duty is as important as the navy and army. The standard of tictllth among the fighting forces must be maintained and this can be done through the great. Red Cross. Last year the Red Cross asked for $3,000,000. in Canada but were re- warded with 85.000000. Twice since then special appeals were made. O11 on." of these occasions 50 am- bulances were asked for. The re- sponse was so generous that 200 ambulances were given to the Red Cross. These were worth $250,000. Herc the speaker paid tribute to Edward Isinnd, as being the first organization ln the province, to contribute an ambulance for war work. Blankets donated to the Red Cross amounted to 75,000, but this is not enough. The speaker sold that $750000. of the funds raised last year went towards the establishment of tho lvaltCauadtan RodOnuboql- the Women's Institutes of Prince i {l1 In nlgllllc, wilful u on us; Astor's property.

Ho contlnucd IIAYJIII that on two occasions dur g the pact you the Canadian Red Croce had sent $100,000. t0 the British Red Crola Society.

Holland’: up l for $100,000. was answered. la wail for tihc nllef of ref 99l- Pcr tho Canadian soldiers at alifax, $300,- , was contributed by the Red. Cross. Another $200,000. went to London and $150,000. for the navy. The amount spent for peace time activities such an the crippled children work and Junior Red Croaa was $725,000. The coat of admin- lstratlon was only $175,000. The greatest expenditure was $2,000,000. which was spent in the purchase of yarn and different materials for the Red Cross stock. Tho wom- en of Canada worked day and night preparing socks, pneumonia. jackets, underwear, etc, from this material. Supplies In England Another good work perforated b1 the Red Cross was the providing of some French soldiers who arriv- ed at Halifax about the time their country" cllpitulaled. Stocks of sup- plies were also sent over to Eng- land and when the shelters ln Lon- don were exhausted during the ceaseless bombing, the Canadian Red Cross depot supplied the de- mand for clothing, blankets, socks. McMillan spoke of one of ltcsi requirements of the Red Cross Society-the supplying of focxl and other materials for the prisoners of war. Every prison- er gels two boxes every week from the Cauadmi Red Cross Society. Each box is valued at $10. Many men who are prisoners of war, are kept from starving by these con- tributions. Within the last three weeks the Canadian Red Cros; re- ccwed a cablcgram asking if the Society‘ would be prepared to sup- ply too boxes it week to 5,000 pris- oners, A sol-cud l-ablcgram follow- cu almcst immediately liskzng 1f they collld iliake it 10.000 prison- ers.

Jopaon of Lmidon. said tonlght. Mr. Jopcon is Npresentatlvc in Canada of the children's overseas reception board and lirllson officer between the Dominion and British authorities concerned with bring- ing Britlsh children to Canada for the duration of the war. According to Mr. Jopacn, applica- tions for evacuation: have been re- ceived in the United Kingdom from well over 200,000 families. He said nearly 75 per cent of those wanting to send children away from the war zone choose Canada as the most desirable refuge. Already more than 1,500 children have been brought to Canada with government assistance and, Mr. Jopson said, their improvement ln health "proves beyond doubt that subaconcciousiy they were nervous- ly diaturbed at. home under war ona." Mr. Jopson has just returned to Ottawa from visiting a number oi’ children in their foster homo-s in the Maritime Provinces. Mr. Jopson said that in every smile case the boys and girls he saw had gained weight and seemed to be completely absorbed into Can- adian life. Mr. Jopcon expressed horror and indignation about the recent sink- ing of‘ a British ship by a Ger- man submarine with the loss of 83 children coming to Canada un- der the government evacuation scheme. “I hope that, this disaster not affect the movement of children," lie said. "Of course . decision rests with the lndh illl parents. They must weigh the risks and decide whether they will risk all in the sea passage or the con- stant bombing hazard." will the '5 siififsiiitbittiiis (Continued from page ri_)__fi____ Then the captains‘ pennants were ruti up on the tnailimasts, denot- ing the ships were lll thr- (‘Olll'l‘ sion of the Royal Canadian l\ _ A navy baild tilaycd the Nation- al Anthem while the crews stream- ed aboard._With Conlmodore Reid on the reviewing stand were Air Commodoiic N.
