F., received separation al- lowance and assigned pay on sc.: count of his being her main support, The son was killed in action. His mother received a pension for two .months. Last month this was cut off altogether on the false grounds that she was receiving another in - wine. Sir, these cases are but typical of many, which call for searching enquiry into the workings of your scheme of pensions. The reduction in itself would appear; to be unjust. But when one takes into considera- tion the manifest unrest in Indus- . trial circles which will mean lack of employment for some, the home- coming of thousands of our soldiers still overseas who will look for 510- hloyntent, when one considers the spirit of„ Bolshevikism working in our midst as per. the anonymous pamplets circulated in Toronto .ante other large centres of industry, as well as the patent, restlessness that is coninton to every returned sol- dier, it does seem most unwise at a critical time like this through which we are passing, to add to this unrest by tine reduction in part or altogether of the pension awarded to the returned soldier by your gov- ernment. We believe this is by no means a sane and safe policy for any gov- ernment to follow, and if persisted in will not make for the wise solu- tion of the returned soldier problem nor for the best interests of our country. The Dominion of Canada is wealthy enough to -day and will be wealthy enough in the future to provide just and adequate pensions for the men who merit them and who desire justice before charity for their dependents as for themselves. • We trust, Sir, you will give .this matter the serious consideration it deserves. Is any honor or emolu- ment too great for a brotherhood whose supreme impulse has been duty? Is any compensation too high for sacrifices so 'willingly trade? It will surely be most ill-advised and unjust to provide 'large sums .of money for monumental arches and such like memorials, and neglect to provide for the legithdate claims of those for whom these memorials are, intended. This is to mock both the dead and the living. The finest monument 'Canada can provide for her soldiers is an adequate and ju- dicious pension scheme. No me- morial of stone or marble or iron 8938.8008aseeesosee81988.. can ever measure up to this. ' S Over the TERCLip It is the desire of the hearts of the soldiers themselves, as it was the r r�➢ desire of .those who sleep where "poppies blow in Flanders Gelds," j and whose silence is more eloquent than words in their appeal to the people of Canada to keep faith with the men who fought and the men who died. 1 have the honor to be Sir, your obedient servant, C. E. JEAKINS, Pres. Ontario Provincial Command. ►0414444414444444 -?4444444A .8 Patriotic ta ra Notes 60044164111044444444404440 The W. P.
