The Plebiscite
To the Editor:-
Henceforth, for the duration, all
criticism of our Federal Govt., or of
an allied Govt., no matter how we
r ay regardthe inevita,ble. mistakes
and disasters, the waste of time,
money, material and opportunity,
must bear the label "Constructive",
and any critic who regards this, will
be. liable to be labeled "Unpatt'iatie,",
at least so, better think twice before
speaking once.
By the time this, can appear, pubs
lically, the Plebiscitewill have been
authorized by the Commons., ands the
Senate and Gov. -Gen. will, no, doubt,
also approve it. Doubtless the word-
ing of the ballot' will show clearly
that we are not being asked to vote
for or against IM•M'EdD•IATE' cons-
cription, but only for or against re-
leasing the Prince Minister and other
Commoners from such pledges as
they may have given during the gen-
eral election of 1940, or since, re-
garding the future conduct of the war
effort in any respect, and, whieh are
now hampering, or may hammer the
Govt., having in view the so rapidly
changing aspect of the war. It may
also be reasonably assumed that the
Gove and other leaders will see to
that the .public is fully informed, b
fore the voting sometime in May, r
garding the reasons and intention
the voter.
There will of course be no corn
pulsion to vote, bust sine the Govt
considers it necessary to detect ti
money and energy so badly neede
otherwise, does' it not appear neee
sary that every' one who possibly ca
should consider it one of his or h
war duties, to pool a vote?
It not the duty or the privileg
for any one, not even the Prime Min
ister, to dictate how another sh
vote, but so long as we remain a fre
people, it remains anyone's• privile
and possible duty to express his op
ilege for any on'eon on the matter,
inion on the matter, as well as th
u why of that opinion.
Accordingly, may I venture to s
gest that if we vote "No", we will
be completely shackling the Govt'
hand's in its future war effort; t
will be deserting our gallant filth
ing forces now or then overseas, ah
destroying their morale as well a
thee of all Canadians; and of all• ou
allies; we will be reviving, quite pos
sibly, something that was quietly die
ing, the regretable racial jealousies
which we all wishsoearnestly to see
Married for all time; we will be to
eeing ourselves in our own eyes
our J repire and all •of the United Na -
tine; and in' general, we will be un-
doing much of the truly magnificent
work we have so far accomplished
and finally, and horribly, we will be
Mending ourselves as traitors, be-
e/Me of the comfort and practical
aid given to the enemy.
On the -other hand, if we vote
"Yes," we will not only avoid all the
afopementioned .calanfities; but will
widley advertise the difference be-
tween freedom and compulsion, be-
tween Democracy and Hitlerism; we
will tell the world that even an else:
tion pledge of our leaders is strictly
observed, and hence, there need never
be any doubt that Canada can be de-
pended on to adhere to any obligation
or treaty her statesmen may sign
with these of any other nation.

I If you had met the officers and rat-
ings as I have these last few days you
K- couldn't help but be proud of the
of R.C.N, After a long conversation
with Lieut. Commander Harrison to -
clay this thought was more deeply
' confined. He set forth his creed 'of
life in a few words• by, referring to
Psalm 91 saying that for a Christian
there is no death, for him there is iso
terror by night or no arrow by day.
That it is Almighty God thatpresid'es
in giving each man, ;lot only his
daily bread but makes alI appoint-
ments to ones duty. This man has
moved among his tied, many men, ac-
tuaily winning souls for Christ. As a
result they made better sailors, fear -
ass sailors ,unbeatable and ancon
qu uebie sailors,
Now this man is only one of the
officers—ono among do many of this
kind, Truly.it ie a hard and rigorous
life for these lads. Yet in another
it is really grand.
Thank you again for the thought-
fulness you have •,howls toward me

Eyes On The Jap
You cannot trust the Japanese',
Although they IQow-Tow to their
lcnees,
Assure you with thanks and pleas
That they are not your enemies,
For while they grin from ear to ear
They still will stab you' in the rear
And when they squint at you, Beware.
A Japanese will not fight square.
Se be alert end keep in' .mind
The fact that he reverts to kind,
His manners like a homing dove,
But just remember, don't forget,
The Japanese may get you yet
So watch your step and look around
A snake may strike without a sound.

Consider Eonus Where
None Paid
Ottawa, Feb. 26 --Applications by
either employees/ OS employers for
cost-of-livin6 bonuses, wh are nonle
hes been paid previously 'are being
considered by the National War La-
bor Board on individual merits and
no general policy is being applied. La-
bor Minister Mitchell said'at a press
conference yesterday. •
Control of'basic crates and proses.
tion by the bonus system against in-
creased living- costs is expected ta,
overcome difficulties which followee
the first Great War when ieasic wag-
es were at a high level with praise
slumping.
In cases where the employer now
is paying a cost -of -living bonus' to one
group of employees and not to anoth-
er the bonus' may be - given to those
not now receiving it if the employer
desires.
In determining ;a general wage in-
crease the ,board estates a number of•
individual `wage 'rate adjustments
granted at the same ti'ese within an
established 'scale of. wage- rates are
not considered a general increase.
While any increase in the basic
scale ef wage rates is forbidden with-
out pesunisison of the board individual
adustments may be Made Within the
established range for a particular 'oc-
cupation but the highest wage rate
should not• exceed the• lowest rate' in
one range by inose.than 50 per 'cent:

that "war is hell," but that, if anoth-

there was only one way to win with
the least possible cost, and that way
was for our Govt. to be allowed to
conscript everyone in the country

• quailed 'opportunity to study ecology
i under favourable conditions.
t Wildlife adds materially to the'
pleasure of the park visitor. Hawever
charming the scenery, its beauty and
interest are increased a hundredfold
by the sight of wild creatures in for-
est, the song of birds in the trees, the
d whirr of wings skimming the surface
of the water, or the leap of a trout
Y from deep eddying pools, These add
life to the scene and are an essential
part of the national parks idea.
This fact has long been recognized.
ley those charged with national 'condi.
tions present to the park visitor a
t picture of animal life which nevei�'
could be obtained within the confines•
n of a zoo, or even at large where' -no
adequate protection is afforded. No
doubt one of the most fascinating
• features of these national parks is the
opportunity they provide to study and
photograph wild animals in thhir na-
tive habitat.
A wilderness invaded by throngs of
human beings may seem a paradox,
but there is really nothing conflicting
between the idea of a wildlife sanctu-
ary and a spacious area of natural
beauty where hundreds! and thousands
pf people may go each year in search
of healthful recreation. Actually
there is very little 'disturbance of
ssildfife in these parks, and it is re-
markable how quickly the. animals and
birds have discovered that they have
nothing to fear from man. Some of
them have become tame to a point
bordering on impudence. This is par-
ticularly true of the blade bear --but
here a word of caution, Visitors to
the parks will be well advised not to
feed er attempt to "pet" the animals,
Kindness does• not' always. beget kind-
ness, and some of these animals, have
not yet learned what is expected• of
them under reivilized rules of conduct.
Years ago Canada was the last re-
fuge of many wild 'animals, but be-
cause of the advance of settlement in
this country the habitations, partic-
ularly of big game, were gradually
taken over and the animal life was•be-
ing inexorably wiped out. The story
of the plains buffalo is a ease in point.
A few years ago none but the adven
turous, who was content to spend
days and possibly weeks in the at-
tempt cou]dd see such, animals' as the
mountain goat and the bighorn sheep
in their native surroundings. Today,
the visitor to the national parks may
come across many of these denizens,
including sheep, goat, moose, deer,
bear, elk, and, in came of the parks
buffalo and antelope, without having
to go very far afield.
Canada's national parks are truly
accomplishing one •of the most im-
portpnt aims which was in the minds
of those who first conceived the idea
of great natural museums of wildlife.
These parks, are in the best possible
position to preserve comprehends the
