(On Active Service) “The Sttongest Memory ia Weaker Than the Weakest Ink.” FRIDAY. AUGUST 25. l9“. Misleading Enlistment Figures Ottawa's recently released enlistment fig- ures for the different provinces, so far at least as this Province is concerned, are entirely mis- leading and incorrect. The number of enlist- ments credited to us falls far short of the pro- per number. The difficulty in obtaining an ac- curate checkup is that we are still attached to Nova Scotia as Military District No. 6. and no official hrcakdo\vii of the figures is obtainable from military sources. \\'e know, however, that in the early part of the war, Islanders en- listing in various units were attested, not in Charlottetown but in llalifax. and improperly credited to Nova Scotia. In the published figures, Nova Scotia appears with the largest enlistment percentage. and this Province with the second lowest. It '* understood that atten- tion is being called off ally to this matter. But no time should be ivristcd in red tape. There should be an immcdiav: (‘Xpliillilllflli and apology from the responsible parties. It is to be hoped that llon. _l. L. Ralston. Minister of National Defense and our repre- sentative in the King Cabinet. will himself see that this agn-lngy- is made. No one knows better than the Minister what our enlistment record is, Speaking in the House of Commons last year he mentioned with pride the fact that this little Island, containing a population of less than half that of the city of Ottawa, has gent Qvgrsfigs two artillery batteries. a squadron of the Prince Edward Island Light Horse, a company in the North Nova Scotia Highland- ers, medical units and personnel, signallers and men iu every arm of the service. Isle also de- clared, amid the applause of the House! "F10!" the bcginrxinj/ of this war Prince Edward Island liar hrcn cxccllrd in recruiting by no other prov- ince, not cwn liy my native province." If this statement means anything-and of course it does-it means that the official figures releas- ed a few days ago are a gross libel on this prov- ince and its people. The Armed Forces Hon. Angus Macdotiald, Navy Minister, speaking recently at Port Arthur, expressed the urgent hope that never again would the Can- adian .\'avy be allowed to fall into the state it had to endure in the 1920's and 1930's. ' “The achievements of Canada's sailors in this war," he declared. “should be a constant inspir- ation to us and the foundations which they laid so gallantly ought not to be allowed to crumble and disappear." But it is not only because of'the gallantry of present day Canadian sailors that the Navy should he maintained in strength, says an ex- change. It is rather because Canada has grown up during this war. She is now a considerable power, a sovereign nation of weight in the world, and her security as well as her dignity demands that she should possess the material means to maintain that status. .\Ir. .\Iacdonald's remarks, therefore, might with equal force be applied both to the Cauadiaii Army and to the R.C.A..I7. \\'e are still at that stage in civiliza- tion when a show of armed force is apparently necessary to tnaintaiti world peace against un- principled aggrcssors. and the declaration of a state of peace is not even yet likely to assure the abolition from the world of all the Fascist- rninded potential disturbcrs of world accord.

Mr. King has till not Joter than the middle of next year. Summing up the situation a writer in News pithily remarks: “Back of the lickings Mr. King is getting in provincial elections and in Dominion by-elec- tions is one main reason; his attempt to hold on to a solid Quebec has antagonized the rest‘ of the country. In the province which is thel-tey- stone to his political career, he lost because there was never a real attempt made to sell the war as Canada's war, as Quebec's war. Maj- m‘ or steps, forc'ed 0n Mr. King by the rest of the country, or by, above all, the necessity of war, were never explained to Quebec. ‘Rather they were disguised as something less than they were; as really not what they appeared to be on the surface. "Many underlying factors, and many frothy ones, make people vote cue way or another. But there is usually a fundamental issue, which over- shadows all the rest, and has the greatest in- fluence in turning votes this or that way. The fundamental in Mr. Kings losses is that Can- ada has had enough of double talk; of playing one part- of the nation against the other. The result of Mr. King's mastery of this tactic is that, despite his whistling bravado, he is going to h take the kind of licking that, it is to be hoped, will prevent all future party leaders playing the name sort of divisive game." - EDITORIAL NOTtS - Demobilized soldiers are returning to civil occupations again, quite a few having already received positions here.

In recent years seaweed has been found to have extensive po- tentialities in relation to the making of textiles. transparent paper, plastics, foodstuffs, sizing material. surgical, medical and dental materials. A Scottish Seaweed Research Association is being formed to look into the possibilities of this new industry in Scotland, under the eyes of the Ministry of Supply and the Scottish Council on Industry. The Development Com- missioners will give pound for pound grants to the Association up to a maximum of 525,000 ($100,000). The Engineering Division will maintain and develop a ship specially equipped for the survey and collection of deep sea weeds. n- o a a Virgil Pinkley, war correspondent, givu this vivid account of his experience in robomb attacks on London: "The radio church service was concluding as the pastor intoned: ‘Lord . teach us to be forgiving of our enemies.‘ Then \Vl"|3l"I'l, and I ‘had it‘.

The Hudson Bay Railroad was not built with this or any war ln mind, of course.
