• Back Again
, Ron. Winston Churchill, Prime
'4er of Great Britain, is hack in
nain. And back again with
is Mr.. Roosevelt, President of
tie 'United States,. For the second
time in the space_ of little over a year,
•
' these heads of two of the greatest
and most powerful nations of the
'• world have met in Canada to further
• • pians, and, perhaps, complete them,
• foi the absolute defeat of Hitler and
Japan, and all they stand for.
That Canada should be chosen a
• second time for such a meeting is a
• signal honor conferred upon us, and
• shows in a most unmistakable way
the position Canada holds in the eyes
of the great Allied Nations, and the
• confident trust their leaders impose
in us.
•That Canada welcomes these great
• world leaders goes without saying.
That Canada will do everything in
its power to facilitate their delibera-
tions and provide true hospitality, is
• just as well -understood by them as
• by the world at large. tut not be-
cause Mr. Churchill is a great lead-
er, or a leader of a greater nation,
- but rather because he has seemed, in
•. -ever greater measure, during these
war years, to have become a part of
• us and a symbolpf victory, his com-
ing to Canada brings with it a feel-
•• ing of confidence and trust that pos-
sibly no other man. has ever inspired
• in the Canadian, people.
Mr. Churchill's response to the
people who gave him such a whole-
hearted welcome on his arrival on
• Sunday, was characteristic of him
• and warmed the hearts and lighten-
ed the war clouds hanging, not over
the people who gathered to welcome
him, but made the world brighter for
the people of Canada, from coast to
•- coast.
"It was very kind of yeti," he said,
"to give my wife and myself such a
• splendid welcome. . . It is not the
first time we have been here, but
• never have we been here when the
• skies were brighter or when the in-
vincible march of our forces has been
more swiftly and inevitably directed
towards its. goal." - •
•
Just P romises ?
• Just a little over a year ago Col.
George Drew, as the leader of his
• political party, was elected Premier
of the. Province of Ontario. At that
time the contributing factors that
raised him to that high post were
many, but possibly his platform of
"22 points," or, in other words, his
"22 promises," contributed as much •
as anything else to his election.
Were those "22 points" just prom-
• ises? After an examination of a
few of them, and 'after waiting a
• year during which there was a ses-
sion of the Legislature, which, under
his direction, failed to redeem many
of them, what other name will the
people of Ontario apply to that "22-
• paint" platform?,
• Far instance, take the daddy of
them all, the one that probably gave
•- • Col. Dre-w the premiership: "There
•• will be a sweeping revision of our
-.whole system of real estate taxation
so that the owning and improvement
of homes and farm land, which are
the very foundation of our society,
• will not be discouraged by excessive
taxation. As an initial step in that
direction the Provincial Government '
...will assume at least 50 per cent: of
the school taxes, now charged
agaiiist real estate."
• 1What did CoL"Dreiv do to make
thar5Foinise good? Note that his
"initial" step was to be "at least' a
•tedUction of 50 per cent. in school
taxeS, Mite too, that instead of that,
, his initial step has been a reduction
-ofone'Angle' mill in our tax bill. In
thiS bewii.,:the assessment for schoOl

"t.
And , again, .committees of •out-
' standing farmers were to be formed
in every county in. the province "who
will be given authority,, to plan pro-
duction, and relate the processing
and distribution of their output.
Cheese boards, creameries, milk dis-
tributors, central produce markets,
and other marketing organizations
will be under the supervision of out-
standing farmers in each line of pro-
duction." What happened? An act
was passed making possible the es-
tablishment of agricultural commit-
tees and giving them power to make
recommendations. But—no author-
ity whatever has been conferred up-
• on these committees, and farmers
theinselves know the whole scheme
•• is unworkable.
And still again: The stockyards
were to be taken over 'and operated
as a publicly owned enterprise, so
that speculation and manipulation
may be stopped and fair prices as-
sured." The stockyards have been
taken over, but ask any farmer how
much beef and pork prices have gone
up since the take-over, or ask any
consumer how much cheaper his
meat is. •
•
Will It Come To This ?
Poison gas, one of the most ter-
rible and inhuman weapons in the
• last -war, first introduced by the Ger-
mans against the Canadians, and in
turn used with terrible effect by the
Allies against the enemy, has so far
had no place in the present struggle.
But will it?
That is a question yet to be ans-
swered. But if, as Hitler says, he will
• wreck civilization before he meets
• defeat, there is no guarantee it will
not be used by the Germans even be-
fore they are driven behind the bar-
riers of their own country to make
the
their last stand.
Two weeks ago, Time correspond-
ent, John Scott, radiocast from
Stockholm a report that Germans
were sending poison gas cylinders to
the English Channel coast.
The correspondent said an Allied
plane had bombed a heavily gparded
train, en route from Germany
through Holland to the coast, and
that poison gas had escaped from,
cylinders it was carrying, kiliting5
several of the guards and thro*ing
• a nearby Dutch town into panic. He
• also said that many trains, heavily
guarded such as this one,
have pass-
• ed through Belgium and Holland re-
cently towards the channel coast.
If that is true, the intention of the.
• Germans is quite clear. Instead of
• bombs sent over England in robot °
machines, the Germans will send
poison gas cylinders. It is a horrible
thought, but still a possibility.
• Fortunately, there is now little of
the channel coast on the continent
left in the hands ,of the Germans.
But if Hitler has already made pre-
parations to use poison gas on the
coast, he has long ago determined to
use it against the Allied forces, both
• in the occupied countries; ,or what is
left of them to him, and in Germany
• as well.
It is quite possible it may come to
this. It is equally possible, and more
than' probable, that the Allies know
it, and have already prepared a ter-
rible retribution if the Germans

Manitoulin Island To Hold Stocker

Cooper, one of our local merchants.
On Thursday, August 23rd, he board-
ed a Trans -Canada aeroplane at To-,
route, leaving there shortly after
midnight and arrived in Vancouver,
-at one o'clock noon, after about
14 hours flying. A yisit with friends,
followed and on •,August 30th he re-
turned by plane, leaving Vancouver
at 8 a.m., Toronto time, and arrived
in Toronto- at 11 p.m. the same eve-
ning. The altitude of the plane was
about '8,600 -feet, except over ths
Rockies when they reached 11,000'
feet, Some idea of the extent of the
B.C. Rockies can- be imagined 'when,
as Mr. CoOper says, it Wok 21/2 hours
going at over 200 miles per hour to
fly over the Rockies. Meals werS
served on the plane and no discoin-
fort was felt by' any of the passen-
gers., Stops were made at North '
Bay, Winnipeg, Regina and Leth-
bridge, and Passengers got out for•
little change. Some idea of the popu-
