'V holiday attractions Is a Cana-
dian Pacific Great Lakes Steam-
ships cruise, an iulaud sea voyage
from Port McNicoll through Geor-
gian Bay, Lake Huron and Lake
Superior to Fort William,
It is an ocean voyage in minia-
ture — the word "miniature"
being used in a comparative sense
only, because the trip is 512 miles
one waY, the ship is completely
out of sight of land at times and
shipboard life and all entertain-
ment are patterned on ocean -
cruise style.
Canadians and Americans in
increasing numbers have fouud
joy in Great Lakes cruises iu re-
cent years, spending their entire
vacations on cruises or using the
lake route as a link in a longer
trip. Sailing and arrival times of
the ships are planned to eoincide-
with train times on .the Canadian
Pacifies transcontinental line.
Or,, reduced rates Jrfcarrying au-
tomobiles make the lake cruise a•
delightful Interlude in a Wag
motor tour.

4rusa tonnege t 3,eid and speed

especially for Brut e service. They
make 27 westbonud and '27 east-
bound tripe in the summer
months, westbound sailings being
on Saturday; and • Wednesdays
from Port eleNlcoll and eastbound
sailings being on Saturdays and
Tueadaye from Fort William and
Port Arthur. The round trip takes
four days and a night. Half the
trip, a return cruise between
either terminal and the Soo, af-
fords a pleasaut two-day hotlday.
Special boat trains are operated
between Toronto and Port Mc -
Nicoll.
Another carefree cruise of more
than 1,00,1 miles in five clays can
be made on the SA. vfanitoha,
2,616 -ton steelesonstrueted .hip.
Thecruiseis from Owen Sound to
Fort William and return, with
calls at several interesting porta.
The route is via the North Inside
Channel of itanitoulin Island.
Alt three ships are equipped and
staffed to make cruising easy and
enjoyable. The cuisine is of a
high standeed, social entertain-
ment iucludes dancing, moonlight
parties and afternoon teas and

agents were active in Portugal but
in February six German aviators
from a bomber which landed in Por-
tugal were promptly arrested. Portu-
gal cannot afford a breach with Brit-
ain because British trade is vital to
her. Portugal's considerable empire
and her connections with that empire
depend for security entirely on the
British navy. It is true that the
blockade has severely curtailed col-
onial trade, for Britain does not too
readily grant navicerts for produce
from the Portuguese colonies which
might eventually find its way into
the wrong hands, but Portugal's pos-
ition is Very much better than that
of her starved neighbour. Spain.
Portugal is also under the shadow
of the Axis, fol. Spain is a non-
belligerent ally of Germany and
Italy, Against Spain Portugal cannot
be defended. Its peace -time army of
35,000 could make no stand against
mechanized forces which would filter
through the long valleys to the
coastal cities in less than 25 hours.
The Gestapo has been active in Lis-
bon and some of Spain's 180,000
tourists have recently become inter-
ested in the Portuguese scenery.
Portugal's frontier is the Pyrenees;
as Spain goes, so goes her neighbour.
Hence Portuguese foreign policy
since the collapse of France has been
to support every element in Spain
opposed to collaboration with. the
Nazis. The Portuguese government
supported Franco during the Spanish
War, and relations with Spain have
never been closer than at present.
Axis strategy instigated the Spanish
Falangists to demand the whole pen-
insula for Spain, seeking thus to
gain victory over Portugal without
the shedding of German blood. But

readily grant navicerts for produce

of her starved neighbour. Spain.
Portugal is also under the shadow
of the Axis, fol. Spain is a non-
belligerent ally of Germany and
Italy, Against Spain Portugal cannot

navia continue to enjoy the films of
British comedians like George Form-

Formby, who has just completed a
deal for showing his filers in the Un-
ited States, is also a ,great favourite
in Europe, despite his extremely loc-
alised 'L'ancashire humour, and it is
one of the .oddities of the ententain-
