PAGE SEVEN CANADIAN DECLARATION OF WAR MA AGAINST GERMANY SUNDAY Parliament Votes Almost Unanimously Late Sat- urday to Approve Gov- ernment's War Policy On Sunday, Sept. 10, Canadaoffic- ially entered the war against Nazi Germany when the government gave effectto the almost -unanimous will of Parliament. For the first time in history, the senior dominion of the British com- monwealth, on its own account and by its own will exercised the most awesome prerogative of nationhood by declaring a state of war. In 1914, the government merely published the British war proclamation. Just 13 hours atter the house of commons signified its approval of the Government's proposal to throw Can- adian men and resources into war for - the second time in 25 years, a royal proclamation was issued by Lord Tweedsmuir, governor-general, on the authority of Ring George VI announc- ing a state of war with Germany exist as and from Sunday. War Is declared by an aggressor, but when an aggressor starts a war with or without a formal declaration, the other nations affected declare that a state of war exists. It signifies it is not a war of their snaking. Parliament expressed its will late Saturday at the special war session by adopting the address in reply to the Speech from the throne, tradition- al method of giving approval to gen- eral government policies. The voice of parliament was almost unanimous. Previously, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King told the house that adop- tion of the address would give the government authority to declare a state of war. Proclamation of Canada's entry into the war was quickly followed by ac- tion at Washington where President Roosevelt extended the embargo against sale of war supplies against Canada. The special session this week con- sidered necessary legislation and im- position of new taxes and vote money to pay Canada's war effort. During the debate on the address in the Commons on Saturday, four voices were raised in disapproval of the government's attitude but the Senate gave its approval unanimous- ly after only six senators had spoken. J. S. Woodsworth, veteran leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, broke with his own foll- owers to oppose Canada's participa- tion in the conflict and three French speaking members from Quebec voiced their opposition. Liguori Lacombe, (Lib.. Laval -Two Mountains), and Wilfrid Lacroix, (Lib., Quebec Montmorency), moved and seconded an amendment to the address expressing regret the gov- ernment had not seen fit to advise the governor-general that Canada could not partieipate in the war, They were alone in supporting the amend. has beer. t •lrrt rl u' whlt the g' -'.t-1 and attacked n;. meat when lite fate was called: tl t son otsan .

Emphatic assurance Canada's en try into the war would not mean con- ! scription came from. Justice Minister , Lapointe. Repeating an earlier decker- ! ation he would not support or be a member of a government which would iapple' conscription he said he and his three fellow ministers front Quebec would step out of the cabinet were any such 'step launched. "Our Ring is at war and this peril - 1 ament is sitting to decide whether CHAMBERLAIN REVIEWS BRITISH WAR PLANS In London last week Premier Chamberlain tort a cheering house of commons that the Polish armies were contesting every yard of ground against the German armies. In the first official British statement regard- ing war on land, he said: "in the east the Poles are fighting hard against a strong and ruthless enemy, who is relying on weight of numbers and materials to crush all apposition. "Against an overwhelming super- iority in the air—outnumbered and outgunned—the Polish soldier is con- testing every yard of advance. "The Germans have often stressed the need for a short war and a quick decision, In pursuance of this idea the German plan appears to be to concentrate their first main effort against Poland and, as the House is aware, that country was invaded just over a week ago without any formal declaration of war. "la spite of the human and mater- ial losses which they have already suffered the morale and courage of the Polish people remains unaffected. "His majesty's government and the French government have today sign- ed an agreement with the Polish gov eminent for the provision of further financial assistance to Poland to en- able her to replenish her resources. "In the west France, like ourselves, mobilized her forces with complete efficiency and smoothness and they are now in contact with the enemy on their common frontier. "Certain information had been pub- lished of what has taken plates but for obvious reasons no details can yet be disclosed. The outbreak of war has found the sante spirit of de- termination and solidarity among the French people as is evident here. "The understanding between the two countries is complete and the arrangements which have now been pit into force for co-operation in all the activities concerned with the pro- secution of the war are working smoothly and well. "In this country the detersive milt tary dispositions of our array, which cover a very wide delt were male in good time owing to the precautionary measures -which it was decided 00 adopt during the period of tension. "The manning of the anti-aircraft and coast defences was efficiently carried ottt. Within a short time of calling out the units. guns and searchlights were fully manned. Since a large number" of the anti-aircraft units were in camp and away from their home stations this reflects great credit on their -organization The guarding of vulnerable points has been taken aver by the national de- fence companies, supplemented by personnel of the territorial array. "The personnel reached their pasts with the mininura of delay and under trying weather eenditi,lus. The st set:- izetion of tit' re:re:Mier of the erase standing. Schools are to be re- opened in the receiving areas as quickly as possible and both public authorities and voluntary efforts will be busily occupied with measures for the welfare of the children and for the assistance of the bouseholders who are 801 generously providing homes for mothers and children. In the first official disclosure of an active part by any Dominion citizens in actual hostilities, the prime mine later alter describing the Royal Air - Force attack on German naval bases,. said: -The House may also be inter- ested to learn that those who took part in the attack Included a number who came from the Dominions." It was learned that most of these were Canadians. The prune minister told the House that royal air force planes had scor- ed "at least two hits" on a German pocket battleship at Kiel Sept. 4. Germany has three "pocket battle- ships" the type which Mr. Chamber- lain announced in the house of cout- mons had been hit at least twice dues ing the raid on the Biel canal. Listed as battleships, the Deutschland, the Admiral Scheer and the Admiral Graf Spee are in reality armored. cruisers of an exceptionally power- ful type, They have a standard dis- placement of 10,000 tons. The prim ary armament consists of six 11 -inch guns, eight 5.9 inch guns, anti -air craft guns and torpedo tubes. COULDN'T STOP CANADIANS Details of how R.A.F. fliers, mostly Canadians, severely damaged one of the German pocket battleships in the recent raid on Wilhelmshaven and the Kiel canal, have been revealed by the ministry of information. The communique said one of Ger- many's "pocket battleships" and at, ether war vessel were hit despite at, tense anti-aircraft fire and attacks by German war planes. - "It is now pox ible to glee a fairly full account of the Hist active epense tion oftheRoyal Air Force d,0 tee war—the successful attack ea the German naval bases at Wilhelntshav- en an'l Brunshuttel at the entrance of the Kiel canal." the statement said. "Although weather conditions were adverse. the attack was pressed home with the greatest vigor. and daring „ the communique added. "The fine qualities displayed by tit:? R.A.F.. pilots were splendid. The results they achievei are of the highest import- ance. There was a heavy rain and visibility was poor. The navigation of the Squadron was accurate and as it approached the naval base it flew Lew to make sure of hitting IIs tar- gets. The erst attack was delivered in the evening on a pocket battleship tying a few miles on the East SehiiI- ing Roads. There is little doubt that the enemy was taken by Surprise, but, anti-aircraft batteries quickly opened tire. The bombers dived over battle- ships and direct hits by heavy bombe were made "Following aircraft were flying so low that damage could be observed.
