since then we have had that new scandal sown broad- 'a
cast about the Canadian government selling nickel to
the Germans. The scandal grew to such an extent 0
that the British Admiralty found it necesary to give it e
official contradiction and to declare that the Imperial
Government was perfectly satisfied with the arrange- e
ments made by the Dominion Government forl the 0
handling of the nickel business. The Canadian gov- I
ernment also otiicially stated that not a pound of Cana-
dian nickel had found its way to an enemy country 7
since the war began. Notwithstanding this the poli- ._
tical ghouls persist in repeating the scandal. _At the ll)
recent by-election in Toronto it assumed its` most. brut- P

Canadians are today discussing the hgilding up of
the nation, the founding of a better Canada after the
\var. lf we are to become a great nation, such a na~
tion as our natural resources should enable us to be-
come, we must eliminate the meanness from our poli-`
tics, we must learn to measure men, not by their misre-;
by their own proven and tested honesty and integrity.
It has been well said that “patriotism is the last refuge '
