Canadians on Their Honor.
In some quarters it has been sug-
gested that Canadians be put on ra-
tions and not on 'their honor regard-
ing food.
Do householders in Canada seek to
evade the food regulations? Are the
merchants of Canada conniving at the
evasion of the food regulations? Let
us see about that.
The main objective of the Canada
Food Board is to supply Great Britain
and the Allies with vital feeds. With
this in view food regulations are
made, which, if respected by the peo-
ple of Canada, will enable Canada to
keep faith with the Allies on food.
Do the people of Canada 'want to
keep faith with the Allies on food?
They do. Are the people of Canada
keeping faith with the Allies or food?
They are.
To take any ether position is to sug-
gest that the people of Canada would
rather keep their pre-war food habits
than keep faith with the Allies on
food. ' No true Canadian is br'ealiing

a very (nappy ship's company on•

Soon the noise of the engine died
away and the machine began to glide,
downward in great circles to its des-
