Dexter's llevelations n, publish excerpts from a signed editorial page article in the Winnipeg Free Press by its editor, Mr. Grant Dexter. The Free Press is the leading Liberal newspaper of Western Canada, and Mr. Dexter is one of Can- ada's outstanding journalists. He was prominent in the Press Gallery at Ottawa during the war years, and writes with intimate knowledge of the events he relates. The fact that Colonel Rois- ton,’ as well as being Minister of National De- fense, was membe of Parliament for Prince and the last representative for this Province in the King Cabinet, gives added local interest to Mr. Dexter's revelations. His story is not a pleasa net have been easy to write. But now that the last tributes have been paid, surely the people of Canada "lid his constituents most of oll—are entitled to know the truth about Colonel Rais- ton's "resignation." He was cocly dismissed by Mr. King, says Mr. Dexter, “while the Cabinet was in session and while both men were seated at the council table. Mr. King simply said that the Colonel would no longer be the Minister and that General McNaughton would take over. Thereupan Colonel Ralston rose and walked around the table, shaking hands with the men who had been his colleagues and walked out of the East Block a private member. He did not shake hands with the Prime Minister. He did not become a King-hater, like many others; but from that day forward he never had respect or affection for Mr. King." Na comment would do lustice to this un- precedented incident. To Mr. King it seems to have been all in the day's work, and to haveilaft no feelings of compunction. There are_ few stranger anti-climaxes in Parliamentary history than his recent eulogy of the colleague he had stilettoed, as being one who was _"rlffldY l° sacrifice all for his duty as he saw it Wanton Destruction On the eve of the opening of the tourist season the Provincial Department of» Public Works is faced with the necessary task of replacing hundreds of road signs which have apparently been wantonly destroyed by passing motorists. A few days ago, .a local citizen brought back in his car the Afton road sign which had been smashed in several pieces, and he reports that practically all the main signs are downbetween here and Sf. Peter's Bay. Similar complaints have come from other sections of the Province, indicating that the destruction is not the result of occasional accidents, but of recklessness and irresponsibility. s lt is, of course, a criminal offense to/des- troy government property, and in this case it may lead to very serious accidents, where signs have been placed at dangerous turns. ln other Provinces the law is very strictly enforced against offenses of this kind, and with good reason. Citizens are requested to notify the auth- ln today's issue we nt one, and could orities of all damage of this nature, so that the signs can be repaired or replaced as soon as pos- sible. Wandering Skull“ A British Army periodical gives an account of the wartime adventures of the oldest bit of human anatomy extant. This is the famous skull unearthed in a chalk pit by a German professo near the hamlet of Neanderthal in i856, on which archaeology has reconstructed the earliest According to scientists, it is at least 60,000 years old, for older than either the known man.

I i I ‘I r 1' Eight years ago, on 29 May, i940, an of- ficial Germen communique announced that the fate of the British and French armies on the continent was sealed. Beaten and driven right into the channel, it appeared that nothing short of a miracle could save them. That miracle hop- pened. Slowly and in good order the British and French ornvies withdrew towards Dunkirk where the naval forces of the two countries began their collossol rescue task.

He campaigned for s “yes" majority and when the Government in the summer of that year proceeded to implement the verdict by legisla- tion he took the stand which. in fact, marked the beginning of the break with Mr. King.

The public dild not know it but. this difference of view caused a cabinet crisis in 1942 with resigna- tlons being narrowly avoided. From this time forward the Government vies split. ‘Ilhree of the ministers were determined that conscription. if necessary, would not be wlth- held. They were Col. Ralston.

Actually, the crisis which came two years later took most. of the cab- inet wholly by surprise. ‘The legislation of 1942, there- fore, marked the parting of the ways with a chief whom. in earlier years,‘ he had held in deep affection.
