Mirror of
The Nation
By "Commoner"
W'th the increase by :the Govern-
ment of the appropriation for nation-
al defence to over 563,000,00'0.00, it
become certain that defence will be
a major issue of the parliamentarf
session. . The issue . will not be the
amount of the pQoposed expenditure
on defence but the manner in which
it is to be expended. 'It is now -evi-
dent ,that all the Opposition parties
and groups in the House of Commons
are preparing •to impose a close
check-up on armament orders an d
contracts given ander the -doubled
defence expenditures of the last three
years and on definite assurances re-
garding the way in which the huge
sum the government is now asking
Parliament to vote is to be spent.
The proposed defence appropriation
for the next fiscal year is more than
double e tha• tfarth
e present fiscal year
and nearly four times the authorized
expenditure three years ago. Little
disposition is evident in any ;quarter
to question the wisdom, or even, the
necessity, of these increases, The
European crisis of last: September 'to-
gether with theelaborate defence
plans of the United States Govern-
ment have made all parties in Par-
liament deeply defence -conscious, ThIs
concern for defence has been streng-
thened by current, developments in
Europe. It is recognized by all parties
that Canada must be armed as quick-
ly as possible to meet the threat of
danger. Two years ago the modest
increase in the defence appropria4
tions was submitted with excuse and
apologies. Now the Government raises
the appropriation to an unprecedent-
ed peace -time figure in full confid-
ence thea explanation is unnecessary.
It has already indicated that it ex-
ipects credit tom the country for
the more generous provision for the
defence of Canada. The amount of
the present proposed expenditure was
decided upon only after the Admin-
istration had convinced itself that it
would be accepted in Parliament and
the country without criticism. There
will be little, if; any, criticism on the
score cqf the amount,
* 1 5
But Parliament, willing to double
witltottt question the expenditure on
defence, is displaying a decided dis-
position to the, as far as it can, that
Canada gets -defence for the: money.
In this, it is nowclear, the Con-
servative Opposition is going; to have
the earnest support of other groupe
facing the Government in the House
of Commons. It is practicallycertain,
too, that the Senate will go seriously
into the question of how the millions
,voted for, defence in the last three
years have 'been spent and what,.,
safeguardsare to he set up to protect
the vastly greater expenditure now
proposed. In, short, the A.dministri-.
tion is likely to1 be on the defensive
throughout
the session ses son in thematter'
of ,its cenduct of the vital business
-of arming: Canada for defence..
The 563,000,060.00 defence' approp-
nation asked for by the Government
the other da'.was at once connected,
in discussion in all quarters• of Par-
•liament,,with.the disclosures recently
made regarding the course- of the
;Ministry in relation to, the Bren
machine gun contract. The intention
of the Opposition parties to explgre
the Bren gun transaction and to insist.
•on an explanation of the Defence
Ministry's handling of that vital item
in defence armament involving a east
of several .millions of dollars takes
on much more than a partisan com-
plexion in. view of their responsibility
for doing all that Opposition parties
cando to' protect the public interest
in _ connection with the large expen-
diture now proposed. The doubling
'of the financial provision for defence
has had the effect of doubling par-
liamentary interest in the Bren gun
`deal and in the larger question of
what the country has got for the
nearly 590,000,000 voted by Parliam-
ent for defence in the last three
years.

Movie Making in Ontario
Elora continues to be the locale for
a motion picture being made for
showing in England.
On Saturday afternoon a "thriller"
was filmed when the fife brigade,
after erecting a fake building front,
showed their 'fide fighting abilities
by putting tate blaze out in record
time.
Less than 10 feet behind the
scenery which represented a house
front, there was a huge pile of old
boxes and Christmas trees soaked
with oil, When these were set on
fire, 11 -year-olds Billie Duncan Sniped
from a window eight feet above the
ground while a camera -ratan ground
away to record the "thrilling scene."'
When a volunteer was asked .by
the cameraman to play' the "major"
role in the "hone town folks" movie
feature; Billie was first to respond, A
ladder was placed against the struc-
ture on the fire side and Billie climb-
ed up and looked out, waving his
hands dramatically for help. Flames
roared loud behind hitt, but the
youngster showed no sign of fear. A
moment later he climbed to the top
rung of the ladder and jumped to
the ground. Several Mulched person's
witnessed the procedure.

RIVER. FLOWING BACKWARDS
`I Startled Windsorites on Monday
saw the Detroit River flowing back-
wards and laid down a telephone bar-
rage of querries for 'information.
Skeptical newspapermen were amaz-
ed when they checked and found the,
river flowing bbckwards and against
the wind 'just as fast as it usually
•
travels the other way.
1f
But United States lake survey
of-
icials were quite calm. The wind
♦they explained, had been blowing
steadily in one direction for four
' days, piling tip, water in. Lake Erie,
'so it't vas higher than Lake St. Clair,
which usually is four feet higher than
Lake Erie.
The 25 -mile -long Detroit River,
linking the two lakes, was merely
obeying natural laws by running
backwards. Survey officials said it
had happened before several years
ago.

"There was no danger that I could
see," the boy's father said. "He was
perfectly willing to do the stunt and
I certainly had no, objections. All
Billie had to do was to climb up the
ladder and then jump 'out. Thefire
was far enough away so that, it
couldn't possibly hurt hit" •�
"It was great fun," deelared Billie,
after his jump. "It isn't every day
you can get in the movies. As soon
as I was asked to do it, I jumped at
the chance."
