ernment order, this time for 50,000’

the total number of brushes asked
for in the interest of the armed
forces of ’Canada is brought up to
a quarter of a million.
The manufacture of brushes has
not escaped the handicaps which
have come to other industrial es
tablishments in this period of war.
A fruitful source of bristles for
brushes was China, in whose moun
tainous regions a brand of swine
was raised which provided the best
bristles.^ IP the factory on Church

China, and when they have become
parts of brushes, resort will have to

There are many interesting fea

But it simply must be done and that’s that. The catchy season will

require sharp, looking after. In this part of the work almost anyone
can take a part and ari important part. The inevitable heavy dews

*******
Monday morning dawned on a perplexed but by no means dis
couraged Empire. We have seen a great many sad-eyed people
but we have not encountered a single craven spirit. Ovei’ 'and over
again we have heard folk who have sons in the battle say “In God
we trust.”
In view of our defeat and of the high courage of our people,
what is the call of the hour?
First of all, men in high places fiust roll up their shirtsleeves
and put their brains in steep. Some have already done so. We
greatly fear that the majority so far are either self-seekers or in
competents. Our people are Willing to endure any sacrifice or to
undertake any task, but the leadership showing the way in which
this may be done, simply is not to the fore. What leader will come
forward with clear eye and unselfish soul to gather into his strong
hand the reins of government? Bruce's cry at Bannockburn must
again be heard from the lips of the man who knows the Way to
Victory. When such a leader cries to any Briton, “Let him- on with
me!” every Briton will follow him, no matter what is demanded.
And the second requirement is every man to the necessary task
he can do best. Our cities, some of them at least, may fall but we
will be free. Our motto still is “Freemen live or freemen fall.”
********
JUST NOT QUITE GOOD ENOUGH
We may as well say that the best our rulers are doing in the
war situation is not quite good enough. The leaders may as well
acknowledge their partial failure where they should be advancing
instead of retreating. Serious, angry questions are being asked.
If, as we were told, all our powers are being concentrated on de-4
featiitg Germany In Europe as a preliminary to worsting Japan,
Why is it that we are doing so little by comparison in Europe? Why
are we backing up 111 Libya? Why is it that so little is being done In
the Pacific? Why is our shipping going to the bottom,, at such a
disturbing rate? Why are we told one day that all is well as far as
the Alaskan situation is concerned only to be told that the Japanese
invasion of the Aleutian Islands constitutes a real menace? Why are
we told to be patient and to trust our leaders only to have them
hand us the record of a succession of defeats? This thing of hear
ing of conferences followed by our taking a sound thrashing is get
ting on our nerves. Russia and China have done marvels. Why
sltottld not Anglo-Saxons do a great deal more? This thing of bear
critics, but we must say that Great Britain and the United States
have not got the results that we had a right to look: for. If we
are told that these powers are doing the best they can, We feply
that their best is not good enough. We need eleah-cut, out and out
victories of the Trafalgar and Waterloo sort and that is. the very
thing we're not getting and. we don’t like it.

Behind the lines where men and women are risking life to defend home

But what about the farmers? They are doing a work of equal impor
