Clark, K.C., Speaker of ithe Ontario Legislature, declared in a radio speech in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, that forty to forty-five per cent. of the people of Canada—and he included himself in that percentage—were desirous of a -union •of Canada with the United States, he placed himself in a very contentious position, to say the least. At the time Major Clark was not speaking as the Speaker of the Leg- ilature, or even as a member of that legislative body, but 'as a private citi- zen a fact he made abundantly plain at the time. Under these cir- cumstances most people in Canada would grant him the right to say pretty much what he pleased, and let his remarks dwindle into forgetful- • ness, which in the natural course of events, would not take very long. And one of the things that would hasten these remarks on their way to oblivion is the fact that they, are not true of Canada as a whole, or even any but a Very email minority in this country. Another is that the Gallup Poll, upon which Major Clark used his authority for the state- ment he made, said that the result of that poll gave •only 21 per cent. df the people in favor of union with the • United States, and not 40 to 45 per cent., as he proclaimed. In two quarters, at least, however, the.statement zetlYlajor .Clark is not looked upon as those of a private citizen, but as those of a man hold- ing high public office, and as such are open to both censure and punishment • at the hands of the government. One of these, -Col. Drew, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislature, has demanded of Premier Nixon that he call a special meeting of the Leg- islature to oust Major Clark, not on- ly from the speaker's chair, but from the assembly as well. •-Mr:Nixon, 1143 -Weyer, possibly tak- ingsthe common sense view held by most Canadians, that Major Clark was speaking for himself and 'him- self alone, has declined to call, a -spe- cial session, or in fact, to take any official action whatever in the mat- ter. A position which. does much to commend him in the eyes -of Ontario people. Another quarter, the Toronto Globe and Mail, goes even further when it said in a recent editorial: "Furthermore, 'Major Clark, as a member of the Legislature, took in solemn form an oath of loyalty °and allegiance to the British Crown. Obviously anybody who, after tak- ing such an oath, advocateS that his country should abandon its allegi- ance to the• Crown and became incor- porated in another country, repudi- ates his oath." Is the Toronto paper hinting at treason.? Treason on the part of Major Clark? If so, we suggest that the proper authority for the Globe and Mail to lay its many charges be - Sore, would be the 1,,aVi Society 'of anada, of which Major Clark is not only a member, but a King's Com- • rather than before the Ontario ovejthrninent. 'Clark was; a Member of the fMteriiii long before he was nber of the Legislature or eaker..df the Hue.

Of eeurse, there would be no politi- cal capital arising out of such a pro- cedure and bath Col. Drew and the Globe and Mail are in urgent ,need,of political capital these days,, • Still Good Liars For the making up of impressive lies, and 'making them go down— with their own—the Nazis have no equals on earth, past or present. Al- though the supposedly super invinci- ble Germaw war machine has taken an awful mauling in the past year, no one could accuse the Nazi lie ma- chine of falling down on its job: At the close of the North African campaign the German prisoners cut a sorry figure when they surrender- ed in scores of thousands. But once fed, their cockiness returned in full force and the Allies puzzled over it a bit. 1 But it was only a very short time before the war correspondenth, who were allowed to interview them, found out the reason. They had been told before surrender—and be- lieved every word of it --that a huge force of Japanese had landed 'at Casablanca, and were now on the way to rescue them. Everything was all right, or soon would be. That was pretty good, even for the Nazi,but it .couldn't even touch the one .told the German prisoners who were sent from Africa to be interned in the United States. When these prisoners reached New York they were 'astonished beyond words to see the skyscrapers still standing. They had been told—and believed—that • New York had been completely blasted by Nazi air raids. The world does not believe any longer in the super -man German in the field, in the air, or on the Water, but as super -liars, the same world readily puts the Nazis in a class by themselves. 'Consequently the next time you hear that German morale is begin- • ning to 'crack, take it with a large grain of salt. The German forces = and the German 'Masses know 'dilly what the Nazi machine tells them. • Different Now Was it Sir Harry Lauder that us- ed to sing: "I'm in the corps That stood before The King for half a day." Whoever' it was, any old soldier of • the last war will tell you with feel- • ing that it Was a pretty fair descrip- tion of the innumerable inspection parades he had- experienced in his soldiering. One did not have to go to either England or France to enjoy the ex- perience in the last war either. • Do you remember the inspection parades they used to have down in London, in Sir Sam's day? And the countless other parades in , other towns and cities ? In fact, we have been told by many an old soldier, that it did not require much of an excuse, from his point of view, of course, to stage a parade. „ • Drills and parades were the every- day lot of every soldier in the' last war, and a company or battalion that couldn't stand at attention for an hour or two at a time, wasn't consid- ered to be a company nor a battalion at all. Somehow, these parades seem strangely missing in the present war. One seldom reads of them and more rarely sees one. The soldier's • life is different. Much different, and, perhaps, much more difficult. For instance, last week when King George was in Africa, It only took • him twenty 'minutes to inspeet the crew of an American ship of war, in the harbor of Algiers, because it was explained sailors could not be ex- peeted to standthe hot Sim for longer than that unnecessarily, Another• thing about the Xing's inspeetion, , that will strike old sail- or* and soldiers with bewilderinent ana awe, Was that whenit was over th taiii;of the hi, rdeq,t,t 5,1,0 ' e ' aa k of • e 1 es'',''.,'''.. • - .

SHELTERS MEAN MORE PROFIT If there is one thing necessary to assure the good growth of pullets it is range shelters that are , large en- ough.' More pullets mean more eggs for Britain. 'Now is the time to pro- vide suoh shelters so as to get the maximum •production next fall and next winter. The Colony house that was filled with baby chicks is, not big enough when they are half grown. Serious harm is done to . growing chicks through overcrowding, piling up and over heating. More good pul- lets are spoiled by being forced to env -0d in close quarters than in an other way, say poultry officials Of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. Growing pullets need plenty of room and fresh air. They 'like to roost in the open and range shelters are the best alternative. A suitable shelter can be Millt,for a comparatively small, cost. Some breeder hatcheries s4ply" their customers with kriociedOwn range shelters at a ..reasonable price. AnyExperimental PaTm.or Agricul- tural Representativewill give advice on range shelters.
