Before that in October, 1941 -Calder had been reported missing for short time before air authori- ties learned he .had parachuted safely from a plane over Eire. He was interned in Eire for more than a year before returning to England. There was no explanation' how he got out of Eire. In August, 1941, Calder's bylined' story of a raid on the Nazi pocket battleship Gneisenau at Brest made newspaper .history -the first by- linecl story by a Canadian A. A. 11. flier. Newspapers across Canada and in the United States used it on' their front pages. ,.

THE 'CLINTON NEWS -RECORD T'IJURSS., JULY lith 1944 w A Disheartening jSituation From The Montreal Gazette , TheFree r editorial, Ina tees tt Press referred to the disheartening situationwhich is developing in the Quebec election: The. Montreal Ga- zette, in a powerful lead editorial, bears this. out; It says that not one of?the parties contesting the Quebec election' admits to any recognition of the democratic principles for which the forces of : the free world are fighting, The Gazette goes on to say: "It' is impossible to ponder the significance ;of the news without realizing that the tides of war that have engulfed the world have left Quebec largely' unmoved, that the purpose of the appeal now being made to the electorate is 'to cenfirne it in its isolation, and that the res- ponsibility is shared in varying de- gree by men of all parties. "There are few candidates, who have lifted their oyes from narrow provincialism to the wider horizon of world affairs, or have shown much awareness of the great prin- ciples of human • liberty for which civilization is pouring out life and treasure. Most efforts are to minini- seize the war, to cushion its impact, to lighten its burdens, and to lull the people into a'false sense of security and self-sufficiency. "Where Quebec's steep -walking will ultimately lead her we do not know. What we do know is that the rest of the country, a not in- considerable territory, will' watch the course of her power -seeking politic- ians with some degree of alarm." * A i The Gazette points out that Maurice Duplessis, leader of the Union Nationale, declares that his padlock law of 1937 will be revived if he is returned to power. Ile there- by announces that the events of the last five years have no meaning for him. This war is being fought for liberty, for the liberty of free men to express their opinions and to read what books they choose. The Gazette says it is undemocratic; it abridges the unalienable rights of free speech and the freedom of the press; and in its application it employs the strat- egy` of terror that characterizes the operations of the Gestapo. Turning to the Liberal party the Gazette says: "Jacques Dumoulin, Liberal tean- didate for Montmorency, is reported to I1ave declared that he was success- ful in exempting young farriers from military duty. "I have done everything possible in order that you may forget that there is a war on and that we have got mobilization," he is quoted as saying. "Here is a member of the Legis- lative Assembly making the amaz- ing boast te, his constituents that he has saved their sons from army service. It was no •doubt well re- ceived by his - listeners, but what a pitiful appearance this drab con- fession will make in the press of the outside world, to which Quebec politicians profess indifference. There is surely no Other enclave of isolation in theAlliedworld where the same admission could be Trade with impunity. "But this is nob all, This 'abase- ment does not go far enough for the opponents of the Liberal re- gime. The followers of the Union Nationale and the Bloc ..Populaire are even more vehement M their non -participation. ' They revile the Godbout regime not for its half- hearted participation in the war but for having,any pant in it at all. Those electors of the province who seek a moderate advocate even of commen- surate .co-operation will seek in vain. There is none." '5 5 * The Gazette closes its' editorial as follows: "The difference •between the par- ties is one of degree; the graduations are clearly defined, from the compar- ative moderation of the Liberals down to the violent extremes of the Bloc Popolaire. Their approach to the great issue of the clay is from the same angle; and to that extent they find. 'themselves all on the same side of the fence. That is the important political fact that emerges from the 'Smoke of the Quebec campaign to date. "It is hard to distinguish in the clamor of claim and counter -claim the authentic voice of French Can- ada, It is !equally difficult to believe that this confusion of voices repre- sents truthfully the French Canadian people, with their•. long ' tradition of stability and order. Nor, surely, does 't reflect the influence of the same 'ace that; under the leadership of such men as Lafontaine, Cartier and Laurier made an essential ,contribu tion to the developing life a Canada as a whole" BAYFIELD.
