SEAFORTH, Friday, October 18th
Hard To Umer,,.stand
During the last session of the
Dominion Parliament both t h e
speech and conduct of Hon. R. B.
Hanson, temporary leader of the
Conservative party, in Canada, were
such as to attract unusual attention
and to draw well merited praise, not
only from his own party, but from
the Government, all membersof the
House of Commons and the press
across Canada.
But that was when the House Was
in session. Since that time Mr. Han-
son seems to have suffered a ,coma-
plete reversal of form and one that is
very hard for the members of his
own' party and the public generally
to understand.
On . Friday evening last, in a
speech delivered at Charlettetown,
Mr. Hanson wantonly made public
certain war infor nation that had
been conveyed to him in confidence
by the Government, and information
which may lead to serious conse-
quences by its disclosure.
We say wantonly, because when
Mr.- Hanson made the disclosure, he
said, at the same time, he might be
interned for the information he was
making public to the people, which
was a .self evident fact that he knew
this information -to be of a highly
confidential nature. The gravity ofd
the situation is still further enhanc-
ed because of the fact that the infor-
mation was British information, and.
the British Government had •repeat-
edly urged the utmost secrecy re-
gardifig" it.
This is the second time that Mr.
Hanson has offended since the close
of Parliament and if he imagined
the Charlottetown speech would re-
gain the confidence and prestige he
lost to his own party and the—public
by his Labor Day speech at the Can-
adian National Exhibition, he must
by now be thoroughly dissillusion

How Thep Take It.
Traffic troubles in London, Eng-
land, are ,. many' and various as well
as , serious;' and all caused by the
German war -bombing.: -
But traffic troubles, great or small,
serious or not so serious,are all one
to the English Cockney. Nothing
seems to affect his good humor or
keep him from making light of his
troubles.
A London bus, I detouring around
craters, circled (a _ `London ..Square
twice, as the drier tried to find a
way out. As it passed the same spot
a third time, the conductor called
out:
"Keep your seats; we're going
round 'ere all ,day. No extra charge."
And that is how they take it.
•
It Is Realip Too Bad
Among a lot of other troubles,
Germany is reported to be hating a
lot of trouble with horses. Just plain
horses.
It seems that all the horses they
have stolen from the betrayed . and
looted countries have been taken to
Germany. But these horses only
understand Polish, • Flemish, Dutch
or French, and positively refuse to
take orders given in 'German. -
Consequently, in .spite of all the
Germancursing: and heiling, the
hoses just stand still, and keep won-
derJi g what all. the funny noises are
abaft;
If S, really too bad, but nothing, is
;t:th.at it might not be worse. A

Mire than once we lave heard the
opinion expresSed that beeause of
the war, a public day of Thanksgiv-
ing seemed very much out of place
this year, and other things to that
Effect..
Perhaps that may be the opinion
of quite a few, but the majority, of
people, we believe, are of quite an-
other opinion altogether. And that
opinion is that in no time in Can-
ada's history has her people had
greater cause for thanksgiving or
greater cause for setting aside a day
in which to give that thankfulness
humble and grateful expression.
We are not thankful for war, but
we are, or should be, deeply"thank-
ful for the fact that our side in this.
war, which has been forced upon us,
is the side of justice and mercy, and
we are fighting not a war of aggres-
sion or conquest, but a war of right
against might ' that religious and
personal freedom may not be lost to
the world.
There should be cause for thank-
fulness, too, in the fact,. that while
we are of the war, it might be said
with great truthfulness, we are not
cis yet, at least, in it. That our coun-
try has been spared that.
And if there is any manhood or
womanhood in the Canadian people,
they should be deeply grateful for
the unshakable courage and indom-
itable determination of the people in
the British Isles, who are fighting
our battles on their borders, which
are ours too, and holding back the
Lerdes which threaten not only our
peace and freedom, but the peace of
all the world.
In other fields there is cause for
thanksgiving as well. Canada is a
land of plenty. It has been blessed
above all nations. We may, and do
grumble about the harvest' weather
this year, but where upon the face
of the globe will a greater: harvest
be gathered, than has been gathered
across Canada, this year?
We do not say these things boast-
fully, but in a spirit of truth and
with thankfulness that we have been
so blessed, and that because of it, we
should be truthful enough and hon-
est enough to acknowledge it in a
day of public Thanksigiving. And
we did it.

If Nazis Could See Ahead

Germany is asking Russia and the United
Stites to -announce their "final positions"—whe-
then they are with Great Britain or the . Axis
