Nur iin his :all. While we are voicing
our complaints;, there, are forces loose
in' the. e`duntry- • ehtlouraging us and,,
egging us on. By stirring up dissen-
sion_ they are setting one class
to our war effort, what we see will
not be pleasant. In• saying this, I do
not mean to belittle what we Cana-
aians have clone in this war. As, for.
our war effort itself—it is really tre-
mendous: I don't think any little na-
tion of 11,000,000 people has ever
done anything to equal it. When you
realize lot the first time what we
have done, it's like getting your, first
glimpse of the Rockies—it takes your
breath away.
Yet in the process of doing all this
we haye somehow lost track of the
enemy. vWe -have- forgotten that we
are fighting Hitler and have turned to
fighting each other. We used to say
that we wanted Canada to fight a to-
tal war, and that we ourselves were
prepared to make any sacrifice to
beat. Hitler. We said we'd cheerful-
ly pull la, our belts, take any amount
of regimentation and pushing around,
if it would help win the war.
But, instead of accepting our bur-
dens. with a smile, and keeping our
Letter From Overseas
R H4
Fallowing are extracts
Mail letter- received by Mrs Adeliti
Johnson, of Hensall, from
Pte. Gerald (Jerry) Johnson woof
ed.at Sicily July 18th,with the:.
Canadian Regiment:
"Dear Mother: • Well, it is away o
er a month since I wrote- my 1a,St Ief
ter; seems like.years, acid I gueg ayro)
will be wondering how I stn •I'nn all
right now, in a rest camp getting ov-
er a wound I received on the 18th of.
July. I got hit with shrapnel in the
back, just below the shoulder. It was
not a big piece, although'I was in the
hospital for two weeks. I had a nice
rest, and boy! was it great to get
into thewhite sheets. The wound is
healing up nipely. They took.. the
stitches out -ten of them—a few days
ago, but the muscles are pretty stiff
yet, but they will come alright: .It is.
pretty hot and sandy where we are;
gets about 160 in the shade.' The
weather over home is cool compared
to here.-- I guess you kuow where we
ere fighting,. ,T cannot.say very much
in the letter because they are censor.
ed. We are attached to the 8th army
and are not "doing bad. The Cana-
dians are doing a good job. How is
your garden coming along? I have
bed lots of frash fruit, grapes, lem-
ons, oranges, peaches, pears and
other fruits. Boy are they good! I
do not know if I will be going back
to my own• regiment' or 'not when I get
better. They tell me after being
wounded they put one in any regiment
that needs reinforcements when you
go to the front lines, but will be in
the Canadian Army. I hope I can go
to my own regiment though. It wi'Q
be awhile yet before I get back- I was
against another, one creed against,
another, one section oY the country
against another. •
•
We: have heard plenty. dn. Canada
about the danger of winning the war
and losing the peace. Well, tit" ..me,
we Canadians will very definitely, lose
the peace unless we get back ori' the
track and start lightlxlg Hitler again,
instead of each other. At a time. in
history when tolerance is needed ov-
er every other quality, a wave of in-
tolerance is sweeping. this country.
This Canada of ours is a nation of
minorities. No single racial ' or re-
ligious group has a numerical major-
ity over all other groups. No single
economic class has. a numerical sup-
eriority over all other classes. The.
things which divide us one from an-
other—race, religion,, language, sec-
tional interests and rivalries — are
much more potent than the binding
agents which keep us together.
In face of all these difficulties, the
emergence •of Canada as a nation was
an historic impossibility—but it hap-
pened. As' a Canadian I am deeply
grateful that it did. It gave us a
Canadian nation, and it is our duty
as Canadians to try to keep this Can-
adian nation in existence. in this I
am completely selfish. I want Can-
ada -to survive as a nation because I
think you and I have a better chance
of achieving a good and decent and
satisfactory life here than anywhere
else on earth. If the Canad:an as -
tion flies apart at- the seams, as it
well may do if we are not careful,
something irreplaceable for you and
1, and for yoair . children and my chil-
dren, is going to be lost.
In a country such as ours, no group;
no section, no race, no .,religion and
no economic class can ever get' ev-
erything it wants Life in Canada has
always been, and *upi- always be, a
compromise between `• the ideal and
the attainable. In n, country of or-
ganized hatreds, and the danger of
Canada becoming such a country is
very real,compromise is impossible
and violence and dissension is inevit-
able. The essence of compromise is
seeing the other fellow's point of
view and granting his- sincerity.
Somewhere in the shuffle we seem to
have lost this faculty. Too many peo-
ple in Canada today have, no -interest
in any viewpoint but then -town.
If we could, all of us, switch jobs
with our fellow Canadians for a week
we'd see things in a different light.
Let's start with our farmers. There
is nothing very glamorous about milk-
ing cows or feeding hogs, but it is
vital work which has to be done. We
in -the cities often forget how hard
our farmers have. been working. hard -
only in action eight days when I got er, than they have ever worked be-.
it. - It was quite an experience—bet- fore. Their hired men have gone to

It is not easy to -pay higher and -eti

It is -no .simple smatter to run a made
ern war factory either. The problems
of the man at the top are ,jest ,aa
tough for him as those of the man
who sweeps his factory. We must
take,unskilled men and women and
somehow make mechanics out
them on the run. He must. •keep on
top of half a dozen problems at once.
He must see that the materials that
were promised arrive on time. He
must keep production moving. Re
must negotiate with his employees ovr
er hours of labor and working con-
ditions. He has got to devise way
of cutting costs and increasing pro-
duction,
No matter where we look the pic-
ture is the same. It is -the same from
the beaches and, fox=holes of Sicily
to the highest , government offices 1-n:
Ottawa, London and Moscow. Every-
where men and women are wrestling
with problems, with difficulties larg-
er and more complex than they have
eves bad to solve before. This is
just as true bf the man who delivers
your milk and the motorman On your
street car as it is of the Prime Min
ister of Canada.
• In the very nature of things 'it is
only natural that our nerves should
get more and more on edge as time
goes by. Our tempers get shorter
and shorter. When we bump into
sofnebody who seems to' us to enjoy
a favored position, we react violent-
ly. What I have been trying to say
tonight; because I think it needed
saying, is•,that you and I are reacting
ill the wrong direction.
We react against each other when
our reactions should be against Hitler
and his scavenging entourage. We -get
mad at each other, blame each other,
and fight each other when we should
he blaming Hitler and fighting Hitler -
I don't think many of- us any longer
believe that winning this war can be
done on any part-time basis. If we
dissipate . our energy in making war
on each other, then • it is just going
to take that much'longer to get the
real war over. = We simply cannot af-
ford in Canada to take time out ev-
ery day to fight• with each other over
things which can only, and should
only, be blamed on Hitler. If our
soldiers in Sicily had stopped on the
beaches to bicker over who had the
hardest job to do and, who got away
with the easiest, theft: $hid not to-
day be on the threshold of complete
victory. However, unlike ourselves,
the men of our lighting_ servicesare,
not .being tormented by the disrup-
tive forces which are in action on the
home front. If he were met by one
of these disrupters I think our fight-
ing man would have a typically Cana-
dian reply. That- reply would go
something like this:
"Look, chum, right ''now' I'm , fight-
ing Hitler! Who are YOU trying to
fight?"
