(On Aotlvo Benin) “The Strongest Memory to Weaker Thai the Weakest Ink.’ WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER-II um Rumored Appointment The likelihood of Hon. Cyrus Macmillan being appointed Air Minister ill succession to Hon. C. G. Power is mentioned in an Ottawa exchange. This would be only fair to Prince Edward Island, which since Col. Ralstoifs res- ignation fronl the (iovernnleilt has n0 seat in the King Cabinet. It would only be fair, also, to the l-loil. Cyrtis wllo has faithfully filled tlle plJSillOll of parliamentary assistant to the Air Minister for the past two years and is fully conversant with the .\Iiuister's duties. Once before. on tlle eve of an election, Mr. Kigg awarded a portfolio to Dr. Macmillan, but this was cold comfort since botll the Min- ister and the liovernmcilt were defeated on that ixeusitin. It was a great disappointment to Dr. hlacnlillzufs friends when, after finally “mak- ing the grade" and taking his scat as a hing Government stipportcr. he was not immediate- ly invited to FCslllllC his former portfolio. The Prune Minister had no right to treat our Queen’; Coinlty member ill this fashion, especially in vicw of his undcviating loyalty to his party and leader. It is to he hoped that l'\lr. King no\\' realizes his mistake, and will take this opportunity of making recompense. Time For Restraint I ft will be a pity if ailembers of tlle United Nations start falling otit among themselves ovcr what they should do, or refrain from doing, with respect to liberated countries. It would, as the Ottawa Journal remarks, be too much to expect that they should always agree; but what there is a right to hope for is that, dis- agreeing. they will keep their differences witli- in restraint: not go off on quarrelsonle tang- ents in the full glare of publicity, giving comfort and heartto the enemy. “We are thinking," says the Journal, “about the different views held by the British Foreign Office and the United States Department over developments in Greece and Italy. Such differ- ences may not be avoidable, but what ought to be avoidable is open debate over them, with sec- tions of the press on both sides 0f the Atlantic joining heatedly’ in the argument. Germany, we may be sure, is watching these arguments, and taking heart and hope from them.” .\Ir. Churchill, in one of his speeches, said that but one hope remained for Hitler-the hope of division amougthe Allies. It would be a tragedy, if by foolish, irresponsible words and acts now, a condition were created risking gravely or bringing the realization of that hope. Canadian Bravery In the background of our crisis over con- scription lay the bitterness of the battle for the Scheldt estuary, a battle which engaged the full strctlgth of the Canadian army. flihe nature of the fighting and thc strong probability of very heavy’ losses in it have so far not been better described than by the military expert of international trade.” culties because of an tion bank, with acapital of about i0 billion do EDITORIAL NUI t) _i_.

International Monetary Fund l In view of Canada's 1)05li.i0ll as a country whose internal ilrosperity’ is vitally dependent upon her export trade. she iuust co-operate tvholeheartedly' with the plans for an interna- tional monetary" fund and an international lit‘- vclopnleilt and reconstruction bank, which emerged from thc United Nations financial conference held in July at Bretton Woods. Dr. F. Cyril James told the Canadian Club of Mon- l treal. Citing the fact that Great Britain, which normally took one-third of Canadas exports, must in her own interests reducg purchases after the war; that thc situation in the U. S., which took another third. was tincertain; and that the possibility of selling to other countries was i dependent tipnn their speedy reconstruction from war ravages. he said that because of these facts the report nf the Ilrctton Woods Conference deserves thc closest study by every businessman and every citizen of Canada. Reduced to its fmplest form. llr. James explained. the idea of the international monetary fund is that alt international institution should be created with the death yesterday of that Mrs. \V, L.

Of great intellectual brilliance, Mrs. Cotton took a lively interest in public af- fairs, and was able to discuss. guide and direct others in the way they should go, without in any way indicating tile spirit and character- stic of a propagzuidist. Right up to the end. she was able to follow public events and to con- verse interestingly and effectively with mem- bers of her family and visiting friends. It was Johnson who declared that "to think in solitude, to read and to hear, to inquire and to answer inquiries is the business of a scholar", and in this respect Mrs. Cotton probably was top of her class.
