THE ADVICE
WAS SOUND
Hon. Gordon Conant, Attorney -1
General, has advised executive of-
totals of the United. Church of
Canada that there will be no
'prosecution of those ministers who
signed the "Witness Against War"
:manifesto
The making of this decision was
vrohablp due to the opinion or W.
Stuart Edwards, Deputy Minister of
Justice at Ottawa. Two men had
passed judgment on the matter and
their findings were not parallel.
They were far from it.
C. R. Megane, K,C., of the At-
torney -General's department, was
certain the ministers were guilty of
a violation of the Defence of Can-
ada regulations, while W. Stuart
Edwards at Ottawa "doulbted very
very much if the effect of the state-
ment is, in the .slightest degree,
likely to prejudice recruiting of His
Majesty's forces,"
We consider it was plain wisdom
which caused the latter wiew to pre-
vail The opinion from Ottawa
had maturity about it, and came
directly to the Point that the mani-
fest° had tet Plattenoed Canadian
citieenty in the matter of r'doretting.
ProaegutIou oaf the 76 ministers
would have exaggerated the tml,per'
ante of a situation wlvleh float
people have already Porgetten,
A DANGEROUS
WEAPON
'"7.lhere are three ways in whioh
this rifle can be discharged without
purling the trigger."
That was the unusual statement
trade by Herbert W, Gooey of Co-
hourg at the inquest at Mothnt
Pleasant to inquire into the death
of Garnet Langton, a youth of 16
years, 16e had been accidentally
shot by a ,22 rifle in the hands of a
churn.
Willie Mitchell, is whose hands
the rifle wins• at the time, told the
coroner's; jury he felt in the breach
to ,eee if there was a shell' In it and
decided! there was not. Then he
cloned and lock had the rifle, which
actually was Traded, explode with-
out the lad ever having pulled the
trigger.
Any person with .a i uowledge of
modern. firearms: might say such a
.thing could not take place, but Mr-,
0000y deanonnttrated exactly how it
could be done, and also proved con-
clusively that the weapon could be
discharged three ways nlithout ever
placing a. linger on the trigger,
These ideas, Mr, Gooey claimed,
were made in Belgium, and were of
a sort which ha been barred from
Canada some years ago because
they lacked safety features,. There
was' also a cheap German rifle sold
in this country even more dangerous
than the Belgian variety.
They were barred from further
sale in this counitry because they
were boo dangerous, and those
which had been sold would, come
under that classification. If they are
too dangerous to be allowed to
enter the country ,then, they are too
dangerous ,bei remain in use The
reaslonable move would be for au-
thorities to give notice that such.:
rifles • should be turned in and d:ess-
1.royed. The eliwtence of one caus-
ed the death of a bright young lad
16 years, and that is sufficient reas-
on and justification for the move.
FARMERS WANT

ture,, following a meeting in Hamil-

like producing something in ad-

finding a way in which such prices

ary producerwill be. able to make a
