He said "Money must never be allowed to stand in the way of what we are going to do for these men (returned soldiers) and wo- men", One cannot estimate in cold dollars and cents what we owe to the men and women who form our present army, The only way we can measure our responsibility is by doing every- thing we possibly can and pay the bill whatever it may be. These boys and girls are giving or have given the best years of their life in service of their country. We said we would not let them down. We must keep that promise to the full. * GODI3OU'r TAKES THE PLUNGE On August the 8th, the people of the Province of Quebec will go to the polls to elect their government, Whether they will return the Godbout administration is difficult to forecast, but it is thought by some that feel they are good guessers that the pres- . ent administration will go back. We wonder if the result of the Saskatche- wan election had anything to do with Quebec having their election at this time. It may be that they were trying to get it over before the C.C.F. really got organized in that province. With the Liberals, Union. National, Bloc Populaire, C.C.F., Progressive Con- servatives all in the race with a few '• other smaller parties it may happen that no one party will have a majority and the administration will, have to carry on walking on eggs as it were. We have such a condition in Ontario and so far we fail to see that it has upset Col. Drew or his colleagues. The race in Quebec is different from any other election in that province since Confederation. It will not be just a Liberal and Progressive Conservative • battle. * REPUBLICANS CHOOSE DEWEY The presidential campaign has started in the United States and the race will be all over in November. The Republican partylast week draft- ed Govenor Thomas Dewey of New York as their candidate and Govern- or Bricker of Ohio is his running mate. It is conceded that this, pair is the strongest that the Republicans could secure and that they,will have the complete backing of the party organization. Dewey is noted as a vote getter and Bricker if he takes Ohio along with him will have done a great job .for his party. Of course the Democrats have not decided who will carry their banner but it is a foe- gone conclusicin that President Roose- velt will lie their man. He will be Ifird to beat. Many are of the opinion that the Republican would be a sure winner against anyone but Roosevelt. We on this side of the line can watch with interest. We believe that most Canadians would be for Roosevelt, but the racket busting Dewey for a man of 43 has built up a great follow- ing even in our country.
