The Government needs the strong support 0f_Bll_ Ill}! people of Canada, and one way to obtain it is to take the public into the Governments con- fidence just as far as possible. This is not to be regarded as an incidental duty, but it is something in which the Government should take direct interest. _ It is the way ‘to secure the maxi- mum co-operation in Canadas war effort. Moreover, says our Winnipeg Liberal con- temporary, it is for the Government to re- member that the extraordinary po_w_ers that have been given it for meeting this crisis do not lessen its accountability to the people- ‘The greater and more seriou§the purpose in giving the Government almost unlimited power, the greater the public desire to know that the pur- pose is being fulfilled. Reitz Doesn't Forget South‘ Africa's war-time liaison Minister to London is a Boer, Colonel Deneys Reitz, who holds the portfolio of Minister of National Af- fairs in the South African Government. Just before sailing for London, he told why he 'oined the revolt against Premier Hertzog, which brought South Africa into the war with General Smuts. “Speaking as one of the older Afrikaner stock, as an old Republican who for three years fought against the "British and sooner than submit to British rule went to Madagascar as an exile, and as the son of a former President,” said Colonel Reitz, “I feel that if South Africa had remain- ed neutral in this war we would have been sham- ed in the face of the world. The British treat- edius with greater generosity than has been shown by any other nation toward a race beaten in war. I have not forgotten that. “lf General Hcrtzog's neutrality motion had been accepted by Parliament, it would have been on the Afrikaner vote, and we Afrikaners would have been shamed before the world." This is a convincing reply to Nazi propaganda with regard to the alleged injustic of British rule in South Africa_ Senate Vacancies No fewer than twelve vacancies exist in the Senate and according to the Ottawa corres- pondent of the illontreal Star, Premier Mac- kenzie King intends filling a few of them be- tween now and the opening of Parliament in the middle of January. It is understood, however, that none of the appointments to be made soon will embrace members of the House of Com- mons. Applicants from this quarter will have to await dissolution of the 18th Parliament lat- er on next year, as the Government has no in- tention of inviting more by-elections. Conservatives will still hold a majority in the Senate, even after all the vacancies have been filled by Mr. King’s appointees. The pre- sent standing is 52 Conservatives, 32 Liberals. At the moment there are five vacancies in Que- bec Province, four in Ontario, and one each in Alberta, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. Commoners thought likely, in due course, to go to the Senate are Arthur Beaubien, of Pro- vencher, Manitoba; I. Fernand Fafard, of Mont- magny-Plslet, Quebec; Hon. _I_ C. Elliott, for- mer Postmastcr-General, of West Middlesex, Ontario, and Charles B. Whoard, of Sherbrooke. Mr. King has already made seven appoint- ments to the Senate since the last election in 1935. Of those appointed two have since died, Charles MacDonald, Vancouver, and Frank P. O'Connor, Toronto. Nazis Face Another Foe "An article by Dr. Martin Gumpert, German physician and author, appearing in translation in an American review, paints a dark picture of the physical deficiencies of the German people today. Children's infectious diseases have all increased sharply since I933, and rickets is appallingly widespread. As to the Hitler Youth, a German doctor openly reported in I938 that “the regis- tration of foot deformities surpassed to an as- tonishing extent our uneasy expectations. More than 7o per ccnt of thc young of both sexes had splayed, twisted or flat feet." University students, presumably with a bet- ter-than-avcragc economic background, have been examined with true German efficiency, and a report issued in a medical journal this year states that “the number of students not in con- dition to mcct the sports schcdulc has doubled in the last two years. In i035 the number of those unable to mect the standard of physical work requirements was below 20 per cent. while today it is almost 5o per cent." Young factory workers are in a much worse conditon than the undernourished students: “Sports contests be- tween oldcr students and the working youth lead to the unavoidable conclusion that the physical capacity of the students is essentially superior. The athletic performance of young workers is nothing short of appalling; scarcely 2o per cent come up to normal.” _ Child labour laws have been relaxed, the in- crcasc in female labour iii “almost inconceiv- able." and the people as a whole are under a tcrrific strain. Tuberculosis, in contrast to con- ditions in every other civilized country, is sharp- ly on the increase, due partly to the lengthened working hours, and to the limitation of the free ed at once with recruits from ihc Second Divi-| choice of foods. Although Hitler is a teetotaler. the consumption of alcohol has grown to un- precedented volume. Suicides almost equal the total for the rest of Europe. Quack healing has been given every encouragement. “The Nazis,".concludes Dr. Gumpert, "have produced not health, but sickness. The Ger- man people have reached the limit of their phy- siml and psychic working capacity. If no relief comes, Germany faces the prospect of a collapse much more dreadful than that of 1918." = EDITORIAL NOTES John Gay, poet and dramatist, “Fables”, “The Beggar's Opera” died this date, i732. "Soft as the breath of distant flutes at hours when sil- ent closes up the flowers.” U I U It is announced that though His Majesty's legal birthday is on the 14th of this month, no Honours’ List will be issued on that occasion, being reserved until the official celebration in June. a a a u Lloyd George is of the opinion Britain should have allied with Russia to the defence of Czecho- Slovakia. “Since we failed to take a measure to vindicate the Munich agreement at the time it was first broken, Hitler came fo the conclu- sion that he could trust us never to fight unless we were directly attacked. That is why he marched into Prague in March." Still we had no guarantee that Russia would not have de- manded her pound of flesh from us as she has since done from Gfrnlany. Ill The British Cabinet have realized, as Prime Minister Bennett realized to his cost and the cost of his party, that radio is no way to put over an effective campaign. There is a lack of per- sonality and personal magnetism in the voice of an invisible speaker thatsadly detracts from its force and power. Beside it cannot produce the enthusiasm engendered in a crowd anxious and hungering to be fed with something more than cold reason and logic-the personal touch which a speaker can only give by looking his audience in the eye. So it has been decided that members of the war cabinet will undertake speaking tours to acquaint the British public fully with the progress of the war. Cabinet ministers will take the platform in all large cities. Members of parliament will also speak, mostly in outlying districts. Heart to heart talks are necessary to put the war over and relieve the growing strain on the multitude. s w u While attention is centred now on the mine warfare inythe North Sea and Soviet aggression in the Baltic all leaders in Turkey including the President, believe that in a few weeks Russia and Germany may launch a big offensive against the Balkans and the Near East. For Russia it would be a question of taking control over Ceii- tral Asia and arriving at the threshold of India, and for Germany the aim would be to obtain. an outlet to the Mediterranean and have access to the oil, minerals and foodstuffs which Ana- tolia and Mesopotamia offer in abundance. It is therefore not surprising that far-seeing Tur- kish leaders are studying the possibility and, with the help of France and Britain, preparing to meet it. By springtime the combined forces of France and Britain and Turkey in the Eas- tern Mediterranean will be such as to give the Germans cause for reflection, and it seems doubt- ful whether Germany will attempt this adventure unless there is no other way out of the conflict which she has bcgun_ m s m a In telling a delegation from the Ontario Tom-t perance Federation, headed by Rev. Dr. A. I Irwin, Secretary, that there would be no exten- sive alteration in liquor laws as a war-time meas- ure, Premier Hepburn said he will refuse to permit advertising of liquor in Ontario “as long as I am able do so." 'Dr. Irwin said the mat- ter will be taken up with the federal Govern- ment and efforts will be made to restrict the flow into Canada of publications containing liquor advertisements. "I hope you succeed in that,” the Premier replied. Dr. Irwin said Can- ada's liquor bill is higher than her gold produc- tion, but Mr. Hepburn contended the statement was unfair because millions of United States tourists visited Canada and purchased a great deal of liquor, therefore all money spent on liquor could not be attributed to Canadians, Mr. Hepburn pointed out that any municipality had the right to close beverage rooms by vote but contended that public opinion appeared to be increasingly in favorof them. “Suppose we close the beverage rooms early and drive the traffic underground to blind pigs,” he said; “Many municipalities and police forces urge us not to close early." a v- s v According to the Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Gazette the Government will soon an- nounce plans regarding members of the Can- adian Active Service Force who fail to pass their final medical examinations. They will not be simply demobilized from the army without money, clothes or a job. An order has already been issued that no one is to be demobilized un- til a definite policy in this regard is laid down. What form compensation will take is not yet known. The final medical check, including X- ray examination of chests, is proceeding rapidly and has already justified the expenditure it en- tails, medical officers say. A number of cases of tuberculosis in the very carly stages have been spotted. These men will be scnt to sanitariums at the expense of the provinces from which they enlisted. The X-ray examination will result in demobilization of a number of men who do not require hospital treatment but whose health would likely break down in the rigors of army life. It is the problem of what to do with these men who gave up their civilian jobs to enter the army that is now being considered by the Government. The list includes men with heart as well as chest conditions spotted by the X-ray and other con- ditions revealed by the urinalysis now being done. None of these tests was made in the last war. It costs $100.00 to make the X-ray tests but tuberculosis in the last war cost the Dominion Government in pensions and in hospitalization around $150,000,000. With large potential sav- ings in sight it is believed tlic (ioverumcnt can well afford to be generous in dealing with the men being sent back to civilian life.
