THE WAR • WEEK — Commentary on Current Events
How Canada Saved The Day
In The Battle Of The Atlantic
The United States pays tribute i,r
to Canada in the followin
editorial from the Saturday
Evening Post:
As this is written we seem to
be well on the way toward victory
In the Battle of 'the -Atlantic. 'fihe
menace of the U-boat recedes as
Allied naval power grows and new
techniques are developed for anti-
submarine warfare. Land-based
patrol planes and the rapidly grow-
ing use of converted carriers on
Atlantic convoy 'have helped en-
ormously. Britain, Canada and the
United States are all sharing in
this triumph over Hitler's strong-
est weapon.
What most Americans don't
realize, however, is that there
were many desperate months
when Canada stood between us
and disaster...
* * *
There was a time before Pearl
Harbour when the United States
contributed substantial help in
the way of escort ships for the
freight convoys. But after Japan
struck much of our naval strength
was needed in the Pacific, and we
also had to use our fighting ships
to guard the troop convoys cross-
ing the Atlantic. The burden of
protecting the freighters fell chief-
ly upon England and Canada. Bra
lain, with a very limited amount
of help from the Norwegian, Polish
and Fighting French navies, sup-
plied 51 per cent of the escort
vessels for the trade convoys; the
United States contributed 2 per
vent, and little Canada, amazingly,
provided 47 per cent.
* *
This does not mean, of course,
that the United States was drows-
lng during those long and critical
months. We supplied aircraft for
freight convoy patrol and exten-
sive ship and plane repair bases
on both sides of the Atlantic. We
guarded the growing stream of
troops on their way to a global
war. And after the fall of Singa-
pore and Java we held the line
almost alone in the Pacific. Also,
it should not be forgotten that
long before Pearl Harbour we had
handed over to the British fifty
of our over -age destroyers.
Yet the fact remains that we
probably 'would have lost the war
If the Canadian Navy hadn't come
through In a spectacular and her-
oic way. It is not surprising that
Britain, with her great sea power
and resources, should have been
able to shoulder 51 per cent of the
lob. But it is one of the marvels
of this war that Canada, an agri-
eultural nation of less than 12,-
600,000 people, could have contrib-
uted 47 per cent of the vast fleet
of fighting ships necessary to get
the freighters across.
How Canada accomplished such
a feat is an epic that should be
written in large letters. When the
war began in September, 1939, the
Canadian Navy was composed Of
a handful of destroyers manned by
a personnel of less than 2,000 men.
Today that personnel bas expand-
ed twenty-five fold. As for ships
of war, Hitler would like to know
the exact figures; Canada's per-
formance in the North Atlantic
tells the story.
Of the fifty American destroy-
ers which were traded to the Brit-
ish, Canada got seven, but while
these were a real help they were
only a beginning—a stop -gap. Dur-
ing the early months of the war,
the need became apparent for a
new type of vessel; a ship design-
ed to combat the U-boat, to be
launched in large numbers, in a
hurry. There was no time to be
lost. The answer was an im-
provisation called the corvette..
Once the Canadians had the de-
* *
sign for the corvette and knew it
was the answer they. set about
building it in numbers that would
shock the Nazi high command if It
knew. Large shipyards and small
ones, even tiny boatyards whose
experience had been limited to
fishing boats and pleasure craft,
responded in a way that made his-
tory. And husky young lads from
the Prairie Provinces went down
to the sea to man them. Canada
made do.
Now the vast resources of the
United States are being brought to
bear on the U-boat problem in a
larger way, and the ratio of es-
cort craft provided by Britain,
Canada and America may be
changing. But Canada is still do-
ing her part and will continue to
do so, we may be sure, until the
day of peace. Is is any wonder,
then, that the Canadian sailor may
be just a trifle offended when his
cousin from south of the border
inquires with polite condescen-
sion: "Tell me does Canada have
a navy?"
Chairborne Troops
A group of armchair critics
had voiced many and varied views
on Allied war strategy while a
soldier in the, opposite corner of
the carriage listened with ill -
concealed impatience. As the
train drew up at the next sta-
tion, one of the amateur strate-
gists was expounding, in no op-
timistic strain, the value of air -
'borne troops in modern war.
"I'll tell you what it is," cut
in the soldier, as he let down the
window and reached for the door
handle, "It's time some of you
chairborne troops were Called
up„

Instead of following the previous pattern of strong

OTTAWA REPORTS
That President Roosevelt's
Visit To The Capital Was Of
International Importance,
It is a few days now since Presi-
dent Roosevelt visited the capital
of Canada and addressed Cana-
. diens from a dais within the
shadows of the peace tower, but
his visit ranks as one of the fore-
most Canadian events of all time.
Thirty thousand persons — as
many as turned out for the King
and Queen—thronged Parliament
Hill to see and hear him. Thous-
ands more jammed all the
approaches to the War memorial
down town to watch the President
reverently lay a wreath; and still
more thousands lined the route of
his motor ride with Prime Minis-
ter Mackenzie King.
It is impossible to overestimate
the importance of this first visit
to the Capital of Canada by a
President of our great neighbor.
The President himself said that
the future peace and happiness
of mankind depended in large`
measure upon Anglo Saxon good.
will and understanding and c&
operation, And Canada it must
be remembered, stands as the
interpreter between the United
States and the Empire.
One wondered, momentarily, at
the vast turnout of Canadians for
a President of the United Sates;
marvelled that thousands of Civil
Service clerks, stenographers and
officials let loose for the after-
noon, should have poured through
the gates of Parliament Hill to see
a visiting dignitary where dignit-
aries are so common. But the
fact is Roosevelt registers con-
siderably more than merely as
the head of a neighboring nation.
The radio had brought aids golden
voice within the homes of evry
Canadian. And apparently the
ringing sincerity and earnestness
of the man have carved deep
impressions upon Mr. and Mrs.
Average citizen, for whom he so
persistenly expresses his concerns.
Roosevelt, again, is one, of those
personalities who does not dis-
appoint on seeing. Those measured
tones and fine sentiments you
hear over the airwaves are backed
by an intelligent face and eyes
brimming with kindliness; a mas-
sive, leonine head, which tilts
defiance at a foe; eyes which lift
and look directly into yours as
some point of humanitarlan
reasoning is climaxed. Strength
and determination there are there,

humanitarians, ordained by pro-

The Social Hygiene teacher
was explaining the meaning of
the word barren, but felt he was
not _getting it across, "If you had
a cat for three or four years,"
said he, "and it never had kit-
tens, what would you say it was?"
Up shot a hand and the young-
ster said, "A tom cat."

you don't want this new
