Canada will share the burden of paying for the
war. A million new taxpayers will pay who
never aid before. A personalbudget payment

Canadians are asked to shoulder their share of
the war effort cheerfully and willingly. By pay-
ing your income tax regularly you help to speed
the productionof war material, and bring the day
of victory closer. Figure out how much tax you
will have to pay, and arrange to pay promptly
when due.

RED CROSS NEWS
Crews of boats from the United
Kingdom and other parts of the Em-
pire decking at Canadian ports are
showing their appreciation, of Canad-
ian Red Cross assistance by taking
up collections, among the men and
presenting the money to the Society.
The latest donation is one of £100
(5500.00), from the men, of one of
Britain's large ships.
The captain of the ship, which dock-
ed recently at an eastern Canadian
port, requested the Canadian Red
Cross representative to come aboard,
Ind there the men presented him with
the money as "a small contribution
to the work of the Canadian. Red
Cross."
"This certainly is the best evidence
of the way the men of the British
Navy feel toward the Canadian Red
Cross," Dr. Fred W. Routley, national
commissioner, commented yesterday.
Letters of thanks arrive at Canad-
ian Red Cross headquarters in Lon-
don and Canada in steady streams
from the men of the seas. Supplies
of woollen corrlforts and .other articles
needed by sailors ,braving icy winds
and stormy seas are stored by the
thousands at Canadian ports and are
released immediately- to crews in urg-
ent need.
Other supplies stored in warehouses
in England are made available to the
British Navy League and other sea-
men's organizations. One letter re-
eeived recently at London headquart-
ers of the Society stated, "We were
very pleased to receive your excellent
gifts of socks, etc., and we can assure
you that we are finding a full use
for them. It certainly relieves our
anxiety to know that we are so well
fortified to meet the approaching
winter T1i0 ths,"
Another letter said, "May we ex-
press our very grateful thanks for
the woollen comforts. They are a
practical expression of sympathy and
interest in the welfare of our brave
soldiers on board Minesweeping Ves-
sels. The socks will be mueh valued
by the men and will be a great com-
fort to them during the winter that
is now upon us,"
Intelligence Vs. Politics
Hespeler Herald
His Excellency, the Governor Gen-
eral, was on sound ground when, at
last week's convocation at the Univer-
sity of Toronto, he made a plea for
the more useful employment of men
with trained minds in our public life.
By inference, at least, he •sponsored
the View that long-term national pol-
itics and programs can be planned in
advance, if men of the necessary in-
telligence and training are allowed' a
greater share to the functions of gov-
ernment.
It is unfortunately true that Hueter-
ial success or mere push and animal
energy too often are accepted as the
sole criteria by which electors choose
their representatives. Intellectual
ability is recognized as an asset in
itself. His Excellency intimated that
the political public frequently prefers
to proceed by instinct, rather than.
reason, wth the result that intellect-
ually qualified men in the Old Coun-
try very often are left to pursue their
lofty thoughts in solitude, while lesser
minds undertake to guide the nation,
Perhaps he was equally right in re-
quiring that practical ability should
be coupled with trained intelligence.
The United' States, for example, has•
had. some sad experiences in the em-
ployment of brilliant theorists in high
places under the New Deal. The
funny -business of some Brain -Trust-
ers, in fact, has come closer to
wrecking the New Deal than any ad-
ministrative act of the President.
On the other hand, however, there
is a type of purely speculative think-
er who contributes more to the devel-
opment of sound ideas in government
than all the practical politicians, no
matter how well-equipped mentally,
put together. As an example of this
type of thinker may be namecl W. G.
S. Adams, Fellow of All Souls Col-
lege, Oxford. He is a world authority
on the science of government. He has
devoted his life to the study of what
might be called comparative political
science, and he knows more of what
results are likely to follow a certain
line of policy than all the - practical
politicians ever assembled at West-
minster. He is frequently called into
consultation by British governments,
but- to what extent his advice is taken
is never known, as *British ministers
are required to take responsipility for
their actions., no matter from whom
they accept guidance.
Reference is made to the thinker
of the Adkvms type in connection with
His Exeelleney's remarks lest it be
thought that Canada has no place for
the quiet thinker on political subjects
who does not yearn for the spotlight
of office and the hurly-burly of par-
liamentary and administrative activ-
ity, The university would be remiss
in its. duty to the community if . it
failed to facilitate the development of
such men, and concentrated only
upon the turning out of a somewhat
better -grade politician.
These remarks ate, of course, by
way of supplement to, and not in
criticism of, the point of view expres-
sed by the Earl of Athlone. He was
thinking of terms of strong adminis-
trative guidance for the ship of state
in the years to come, but it is worth
thinking of these problems which
Canada must face in the coming de-
cade which no active politician could
solve without the aid of the cloistered
scholar whose researckes make sound
statecraft possible.
The Greatest Task
In History
An article taken from "Canada
Carries On, No. 2", a review by Cab-
inet Ministers -taken from reports
presented to the House of Commons,
November -December.
Upon the forces of Britain has been
placed the greatest task in the his-
tory of the world. She has to watch
and fight, she has to fight in the
British Isles and in the seas that
surround them, she has to fight in the
Mediterranean, in the middle east, in
Africa; she has to watch the far east,
in Hongkong, in Singapore; she has
to keep India constantly in mind.
Anywhere at any time, she may find
it necessary to send ships and men
to meet a new threat to her lines of
communication and supply, or to face
fresh horrors in some distant quarter
of the globe.
This bare reoital of facts proves,
of course, that the situation is ser-
ious, but certainly not more serious
than it has been during the last three
months. The only difference is that I
People themselves in all parts of the
world are begin:mg to realize more of
the truth. The situationis bound to
become increasingly ,serious as war-
fare spreads to new seas and shores
and a mutual destruction continues,
as it most certainly will, .with ever-
increasing fury. It is wholly probable
that we shall witness much of anar-
chy as well as of war ore the death -
grapple between totalitarianism and
democracy has told its tale.
No one can say the world, even
now, may Rot be heading for Arma-
geddon. The 0710 thing that, under the
providence of God, may save the
world this supreme tragedy is the
might of Britain, strengthened, sup-
ported and sustained by the power of
+ the British dominions and India, the
I help of the United States, and such
and as it may be we within the power
of other liberty -loving people to give,
to use words I have just quoted: In
order to overthrow the enemy and to
save mankind "it is going to take all,
that all of us can give."
