THAT REEERENDUM A good many folk think that things are shaping up for a referendum on recruiting of men for overseas service. These say that the last election was fought' on the issue that there should be no compulsion of Canadians to undertake war seryice. It is urged that the majority of Canadians did not see any major war in sight. Sftill others cherished the belief that if they pledged themselves not to fight that there would be no occasion of conflict?. Lately, ' however, the war clouds have darkened and the thunder of the war chariots is heard in every street and on every concession line. Canadians are greatly needed in the war if freedom is to be pre­ served we are told. Hence the demand for conscription. But surely it is the duty of our government to meet emergencies as they arise. Why, then, should not the government Undertake this matter that is the concern of everyone and leave the referendum to instances in which special inquiry is to be made? KS**»!>K**W A SQUARE DEAL REQUIRED Canadians do not take kindly to anything that looks like in­ terference with their lawful business. At the same time they will • submit willingly to any requirement on the part of properly con­ stituted authority when that requirement is made in the interest ofi' the .whole population. What, they will not tolerate is anything that looks like special privilege. The struggle for constitutional ^-liberty demonstrates this important fact. Just now, many are asking, “Whose graft is this price-fixing arrangement?” If once it is shown that the new way of carrying on lines ‘ anyone’s pocket at the qxpense of anyone else, trouble will break. The citizens of this country know their power and know how to assert that, power. Hence the need of pure judicial fairness in carrying the out of the way of things that' begins with the coming of next month. A littl'e shilly-shallying or hunkersliding, tongue-in-the-cheek practice in this matter, and the whole scheme will go with the winds. Justice must keep an even keel these trying times. • .-■> * * a * * * THE TRIAL OF STRENGTH Things have come to a strange pass in the United States. John L. Lewis has openly defied the president of the republic. That is what his action amounts to. Regardless of the merits of the dispute, it seems a strange thing that has happened. ' A body of men in the United States has openly said “We’ll not heed the .re­ quests of the government- We’ll not budge an inch from our position till we get what we ask for.” Surely things governmental have come to an unhappy pass when such a state of affairs exists. Where is this way of carrying on going to end? How has it come about that,! the (President of the United States will allow anyone or any body of men in the country he has been elected to rule, to slap his face, So much for the dilatory.way of doing things. So much for allowing some people to have their unlawful way until at last they flout the, supreme authority of the confmonwealth. This is not a struggle between Lewis and Franklin D.' Roosevelt, but a contest, between disorder and supreme authority,* and disorder flouts appointed rulers. What next? »' if ALL ARE NEEDED We have heard of a big plant that was urgently required to get autos of some- sort on the market. Every man was at his post and “the belt was on the move. Suddenly it was found that there were, say, no carburetors on hand. Everything was held up till this essential part was provided. Someone had blundered in not getting the essential part to the place where it was needed. It was a simple of fence. There was no murder committed. No theft was recorded. Yet th'at delay was felt on the battlefield and tens of thousands of brave men fell because someone had forgotten or someone had blundered. There are mistakes that rank with the darkest crimes. “But we all make mistakes! True, and please note the awful'mess the world is in because some of our statesmen made mistakes, and loaf sugar, someone when confused. Yet our readers to take note of precision. There never will come the day when a fugged, enduring physique will hot .be of the utmost value to anyone. The physical weakling always is at a disadvantage. An experienced parliamen­ tarian said once, “For a man to get on here he must have not only a good brain but a thick neck.’’ Granting all that, the future lies with the man whose vigorous body finds expression through a keen, alert mind. For many a day, the keen-minded man found expression through workers who toiled with the pick and shovel. Little by little the machine is pushing aside the 'Pick and shovel. Lately, the mere worker with saw and hammer is’ being replaced by the man who turns a few nuts in material prepared and fitted for him. Instead of cutting his material into Shape on the ground the modern workman finds his, material to hand in bundles of one sort or another, bundles that he is expected to undo and to put into position Under the guidance -of the man who reads the blueprints. The grocer sells his goods in packages. The druggist dispenses what he has put on his shelf. Muscle and a good appetite are of inestimable Value. It is, however, tlie man with a sound body and a keen, alert mind, who will do the world’s work A SEVERE TEST Canada is facing the severe test of price-fixing by a control •board. Let no one belittle the difficulties ahead. Still less, let no one fail to see the necessity for such an undertaking. Were all of us unselfish and none of us bent on feathering our own nests, let the other fellow’s nest become as bare as the burnt end of a rye straw, there would be no occasion for the grave interference that this new board exemplifies. But human nature is* what it is and we must not deceive ourselves. No government wishes to enact such measures as will go into force on the first day of De­ cember. Only dire necessity for doing so compels the Canadian government to take this step. Every citizen must see the neces* sfty that didves us into this perplexing legislation, We cannot do otherwise and escape inflation, the direst financial condition that we can enter upon. Ruin lies that way* Hardship and loss are in the way we are going, but not disaster* The financial ship will be trimmed and a deal of much-prised cargo will be thrown into the sea, but the ship will reach the harbour' and passengers add crew have the opportunity of escaping catastrophe. "At any rate, wo are Canadians and British, and we’ll do our sturdy best With the legislation soon to be tried, if the legislation proves un­ workable, wo can change it. But we'll not submit to any parties within the state going on the principle that “he shall get who It as? the power and he shall keep who can.” That way has- bedft tried add found wanting. . <» I*. - . - REMEMBER THE SAILOR , ,, While Canadians quite rightly are remembering their po)dier boys overseas with Christmas parcels, we must not forget, the sailor men who will be on leave in Canadian ports during the Christmas season. Great Britain has thousands of ships at sea at all times, and more than four hundred of these are constantly found in dangerous sub­ marine infested waters, ent’’ seamen have faced lenged death a thousand still continue to deliver munitions to Britain, last Canada’s ^greatest contingentJ pf men arrived safely in England,} because of the great work of these i sailors.The Navy League of Canada has ! most comfortable seamen’s clubs, or* hostels, at ten icentres, for all Al-j lied Merchant Seamen, Acommo- dation is provided for more than ten thousand men, per day and fifteen hundred per night where every facility for sailors is arrang­ ed for. The Navy League is most anxious to provide Christmas dinners and entertainment, cigarettes, ditty bags, magazines and other comforts for every sailor on shore leave at Can­ adian ports leave’’ at Many ■will from home be most anxious that every mapj Jack of them are looked after. ; The “Sailors’ Christmas Fund” has been established -to meet this need and we invite the co-opera­ tion of every citizen in the task so willingly undertaken by the vol­ unteer workers of the League.
