What Canada Is Doing. l The London Daily C.hfonicie, the leading Liberal journal of the Irripei- iad capital, gives the meet import- ant mportan' t place in issue c of Oct.,th • 1C to the following, spontaneous and me - markable dpttci at[on of Canada's method o[ restoring disabled ]asoldiers b 1 to ac rte act > and sell -supporting os Ltu g ciLry _ ship, In this article the well-Isu-snvrr 'writer., sir,; ,1, Saxon 1W -ills, goes so far as to suggest that the mother country: in dealing with the problem might foliose the example of tins Dominion. one of the most difficult questions England has to face 'at present is how to deal wills the broken Men who are RAW streaming in From the battle -fronts, The adequate answer to that question has iio' ,_yet been found, It ii not elven certain that the main principles, which should be observed in solving the problem are yet fully grasped.. For example, we are in danger of thinking that our responsibility for the wounded soldier is fulfilled when lie is no longer fit for military service, and when he is pensioned and discharged front the Army, The :nation pas a larger and longer responsibility to its disabled veterans than that, It may be useful to notice how ' v Canada deals with the sw t c problem.. We may learn. much from tee admirable system, which has been established by the Dominion Govern- ment. By an order in Council, ,dated June 30th, 1015, the Canadian Government formed, at the instance of Sir Rob- ert Borden, a Military Hospitals and Convalescent Homes Commission, ''to deal with the provision of hospital accommodation and military, conval- escent homes in Canada for officers and men of the Canadian Expedition- ary Force who return invalided front the front.'" 'rhe very able president of that Commission is Sir James A. Louglteed, and it has an efficient and enterprising secretary in Sir, E. H. Scamtneli, The Commission has learnt much by experience, and is today un- doubtedly worsting on right lines. At first, the general idea was- that eoctvalescent homes, where discharged soldiers would spend a short time for rest and retreshntcnt, would be the chief requirement, and scores of hous- es and hundreds of workers were plac- es.at the disposal of the Commission. But this idea was soon dispelled when it was found that the treatment of the disabled soldiers was a more ser- ious and lengthy'+ business. Months or even weeks spent in the atmosphere of such a home would tend to injure i rather r t tan strengthen the phlr>icai and moral a fibre,- I.nn other words, we are changing ae rapidly- as utaour e n a o • •i . heo v l Set t Yt: homes into hospitals where, in the interests of the men, ,their, time will be fully occupied, their physical re- staention made as t ifeet as and, from the t e heg[nuing, rho bad ef- fects of idleness obviatedby employ- es t. . These are golden words' which those who are responsible for our ivquuded veterans will do well to remermber,- It would be interesting to follow the history of a few typical eases of Canadian, soldiers wounded in the bat- tle lines, Of course, the injured pian may be cured and return to the front'; but Isis case snag; he hopeless, as fair as military fitness is concern- ed, and be may have to he sent' back to Canada, When ile -arrives there he is taken in hand' at the port of arri- val by the Military Hospitals OM. mission, If he Belongs to Class T„ that is, if she tutfit 'for . overseas service, but able to take up his for- mer occupation, Ise receives fifteen days' pay anti transportation tot his home, together with free meals en route- If he belongs. to Class If, or III„ that is, if hereceive has' to t crier far- themrat s t e Ls tet t as aeste i on a1 • � n . c v r e has a permanent disability of day kind, he is passed on to the appro- priate institutions. If he is an ordi- naryt convalescent he will be sent 1:o the hospital nearest his hone ; hut, if he. requires special, such as orthopae- dic treatment, he will go where that le supplied. The aim. of the Commission is to do its best for the physicaland ec:ot>_ omie well-being of the man, and to bring to bear on him such influences that he snap perforce for his country a service not less important than those on the firing line, namely, that, instead of being, an idle ward of the State, he becomes a shining example to the young, of sell -dependence, of courage, and perseverance in overcom- ing di abilities. It would be an excellent thing if we had a sl'tsteut similar to this, and based upon the same sound principles established in these islands.
