Idle rinnors and conflicting reports have given wide- spread impressions that United States citizens must contend with considerable red tape and 'difficulties in returning from Canada.

The taxation powers of the provinces are strictly limited by the phrase "in order to the raising of a revenue for provincial purposes"; they cannot be used to raise money for a purpose which is expressly assigned to the Dominion. It would be bad enough if the prov- ince alone were engaged in the pri- vate army raising business, but we are now confronted with the spec- tacle of demands from municipalities for authority to do the same thing on their own account. Cities which are grossly under -staffed with policemen and firemen, and have apparently no disposition to put these forces upon an adequate basis, are demanding the right to arm and equip a sort of para -military formation about whose discipline and responsibility there is no guarantee whatever. Now that the Dominion Government has undertak- en, and vigorously set abost, the task of national registration and mobiliza- tion for home defence, there is neith- er necessity nor excuse for the for- mation of any kindof amateur army, and we earnestly hope that the whole business will be stopped and the funds and energies which are now , going into it will be diverted to a more useful channel. It is important to bear in mind that no authority except the Dominion Government possesses the great and far-reaching powers which are neces- sary for the maintenance of discipline in military forces. All that the prov- ince can do, all that the municipali- ties can do its virtue of power con- ferred by the provinces, is to hire and fire; the men who enter these ama- teur armies are under no military law and can be dealt with by no military procedure. The disciplinary methods which are available to the provinces are perfectly satisfactory for dealing with an ordinary police force, but have no relation whatever to a para- military force which may go march- ing around the country in companies or even regiments, with rifles and fixed bayonets. It is our firm conviction that any- body with a rifle and a fixed bayonet in Canada in these difficult times should be subject to military law and ander the orders of the military authorities, and that any armed' or- ganization which is not so subject should be promptly disbanded. The history of Europe in the last twenty years is a history of disorder, viol- ence and eventual establishment of tyranny by means of private armies which were not under the control of the State authority. Far the sake of the prescnrvation of Canadian democracy, Canada must •at all cost avoid anything of this kind. 1—American citizens do not need be held at Ottawa, and will have been passports. held before these lines are read, on 2—Naturalized citizens are requir- the subject of the constitutional pow - ed to present naturalization papers. er of the provinces to raise, arm and 3—While not mandatory, document equip, or to authorize their anunici-. of identification such as birth or mar- polities to raise, arm and equip, what are known as Home Guards, or forces for defence against internal enemies.

The maintenance of a continuous supply of food for Britain's fighting• forces and civilian population is of paramount importance in the suc- cessful prosecution of the war. The financing of our war effort is another battle which must be won on the home economic front. The Ontario Government seeks the co-operation of all in meeting the present critical situation. M. I'.

The war has not changed Canada. Its hospitality to the American visit- or continues. Signs along the high- ways, placards in store windows, and advertisements in newspapers wel- come the traveller. Border officials are courteous and patient. The Gov- ernment has kept prices down. In fact, Americans this year will find that their money will go farther than ever because of the 10 per cent ex- change in their favor, And to Canada, American tourist dollars mean ex- change for' much - needed wartime purchases in the United States. With European travel cut off, Can- ada is a logical vacation ground for tourists seeking a change from the United States. The war has not changed the Old World atmosphere of French Canada. Nor has it altered the snow-capped mountains, fishing glaciers, and sparkling lakes farther west. The typically English cities of Victoria and Vancouver continue to reflect the peace and charm of old. Americans' travelling in Canada- this year not only are further cement- ing the friendly reations that have marked a century and a quarter of United StatesandCanadian history, but financially they are aiding the British Empire in its battle for self- preservation and for the protection of democracy as a way of living. There is nota vestige of ground in the British North America Act for the contention that a province has any power whatever to raise armed forces. The Dominion. Parliament has the right and duty "to make laws for the peace, order and good goveee- ment of Canada in relation to all matters not coming within the classes of subject by this Act assigned ex- clusively to the Legislatures of the provinces," and specifically to make laws relating to defence. An armed force has no purpose except to main- tain and defend the peace, order and good government of the country; and there is not a word in the sixteen classes of subjects assigned exclusiv- ely to the provinces which has any- thing to do with armed forces in any shape or form. The police power of the provinces arises out of class 14, the administration of justice. There is nothing in Canada corres- ponding to the residuary powers of the State in the United States, under which each State is enabled to main- tain a National Guard which is to all intent and purposes a sort of State Arany. In Canada the constitutional position is so clear that We imagine that any citizen of auk province, who . "This will make available to the) farmers of Ontario a vast reservoir' of farm help," Mr. Hepburn said. "Not only will it permit farmers to keep the assistance of their own children during a period when they would normally be at school, but it will also make available for farm work a great number of city children. In each county a committee has been set up to include the agricultural representative, school inspector, sup- erintendent of employment offices, warden and reeves of the various townships for the purpoes of regist- ering both the farmers who require assistance, and the school-age child- ren willing to fill in at this work. "Young people who are trained this year will be just that touch better equipped to help out in 1941. This war is not going to be over in a clay. We must look to the future and pre- pare ourselves for what is likely to develop in the immediate years to come." Under the direction of the Ontario Government, - a special committee is now engaged in working out (101.110 of a scheme to put across a gigantic drive fur the sale of War Certificates.' When the proposal was first made by Mr. Hepburn to the Otl�vaa Gov- ernment, it was enthusiastically re- ceived, and the Province is now pro- ceeding with a plan which will enlist the help of all the Secondary School girls. 'rhe, will be enrolled by the local Soldiers of the Soil Committees and School teachers will be asked to help fby exercising supervision over the plan's operation. 1 "The Dominion Government eon - siders the sale of War Savings I Stamps and Certificates as one of the most important links in the whole chain of war undertakings," Mr. Hep - 1 burn said. "Here is a tangible way !in which every child can assist, in the sale of stamps or by earning !money for their purchase. It is a two !fold program that cannot fail to be of immeasurable worth." Official News Letter Under a blue sky that was fleeced with towerning white clouds His Ex- cellency the Governor General, Com- mander -in -Chief of the Canadian forces, paid his first visit to a mili- tary camp since his arrival in the Dominion and formally opened a Canadian Legion War Services can- teen and recreation hut. For several weeks the C. L. W. S. has had in operation at Petawawa training centre, in M.D. No. 3, a large and well equipped establishment cat- erng to the needs of the .nen in training and it was this undertaking that His Excellency, in the presence of officials of the organization and high ranking army officers, declared officially under way. "One of the worst things about wax is boredom," His Excellency said. "At the front the hours of suspense are often more trying than the actu- al moments of acute danger. In a training camp such. as this, you have the long periods of work without the excitement of fighting, so it is all the more necessary that hours off duty should be relieved of boredom. For this purpose, the Canadian Legion War Services is performing a most necessary task of which this hut is an admirr-able example. A man's work is far more effective if, during his leisure hours, he can find com- plete relaxaton of mind and body. A VIOLIN WITH A PAST Every genuine Stradivarius, violin has an interesting story, but the re- oent history of that belonging to Mischa Poznanski, Toronto violinist probably equals any episode of its previous life. Because lie gave it to its present owner in 1935, allowing it to leave Germany, the famous Ber- lin antique dealer, Wertheim, is. now in a Nazi concentration camp. Mr. Poznaneld will play his Stradivarius in a recital over the National Net- work of the CBC on Monday, August 19, from 7.30 to 7.45 p.m. EDST. Mt•. Poznansld was born at Lidz, Poland, in 1911 and started to study the violin when he was six. In 1925, he graduated from the Warsaw Un- iversity and, with his parents, went to Jerusalem. He gave concerts n Egypt and Syria, and in 1927 receiv- ed a scholarship from Oskar Heizer, American Consul General at Jerusa- lem, to study at the New York Con- servatory of Musical Art, from which he graduated in 1930, receiving a gold medal from the New York Music Week Association. Since then he has, given concerts in every principal city in 'Europe and; America. commanding. Military District No. 3-- pointed out that the C.L.W.S. estab- lished at Petawawa is one or 14 simi- lar buildings throughout the Domin- ion that the Legion has erected, is maintaining or is assisting in main- taining. The Petawawa hut, whch is located in the heart of the camp and within easy access of thousands of men, is a large wooden structure comfortable equipped and tastefully decorated to• provide the maximum of rest and di• - version for the troops during their off hours. It contains, in addition,. a modern dry canteen, a well -stocked library and a quite room for study purposes. Following the opening of the hut, which was attended also by J.

He, expressed special satis- faction that the C.L.W.S. is provid- ing an educational pragram that is enabling the men to continue or to take up studies in academics and trades to fit themselves for their re- turn to civilian life. The Governor General, Grand Pat- ron of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League, paid tribute to the effort which, the Leg- ion veterans are expending on behalf of the new soldeirs, "so many of whom," he said, "are the sons of men "Education," he added, "is no long- er regarded as a dull but necessary process which occupies our early years. We are always being educated, and the older we get, the more: we appreciate it. But it is particularly important for a modern soldier who has to think for himself and often has to master the intricacies of compli- cated machinery. "In declaring this hut open, 1 want to thank all those who have been re- sponsible for getting it going and I wish you all the best of luck." Welcoming the Earl of Athlone was Col. the Hon. Senator Gerald. V. White, C.B.E., V.D., of Pembroke honorary tresarer of the C.L.W.S., and Major-General John A. Gunn, C.M.G., D.S.O., V.D., of Toronto, president of the C.L.W.S. Senator White explained to His Excellency that the Legion "is endeavouring to render assistance and personal ser- vice activities." "Canadians," Senator White added, "have the most pleasant recollections of the many acts of kindness whieh Your Excellency and Her Royal Highness so graciously bestowed up- pon us while we were overseas during the last war:" General Gunn, before presenting the hut to Brigadier -General Eric NlcCaiug; camp • Convmandeni;,, and Brigadier Logie Armstrong, officer A BOY'S ALPHABET Attempt great things, Build for the future, Cultivate friendships, , D'evelope a hobby, Educate the hands, Forget injustices, Get an education, Hope always, Imitate heroes, Judge justly, Keep clean, Lend a hand, Make a fresh start, Never give up, Own good books, Play the game, Question wise folk, Read wisely, Seek success, Trust Providence, Use every talent, Venture with courage,.
