Ogdensburg-A Momentous Meeting A few days ago Mackenzie King dined and slept overnight at Ogdensburg, N.Y. ini President Rooseveit 's private pullman. He was the guest of the President who had corne ta this border town ta implernent a pledge he had given eL Kingston, Ontario in 1938: "Th United Statles of America will flot stand idly by ghoula the scuritY of Canada be threatened. " Mackenzie King would have made history had he given âorresponding pledge at that tinie: "-CanacWlwill not stand'idly by should the security of America be threatened." For eleven and one-haif months Canada has been at war, idly at first, but not idly today --.upporting the Empire, -pratecting, these shores.-, Today we c the long-expected get-to- gether. The agreement reaehed was given ta the press ini 109 words. BrieflY it is this: The establishment of a joint board immediately. Its mexnbers are ta study problems of defence relating ta land, sea and air; in short the security of the north haif of the Western Hemisphere. It brings the two countries into a loae bond of mutual e.ndeavour. But there is no formai pat-nothing, as yet, requiring rati- fication by legisiatures. That may and chould cone later. At pre- cent, this board will bc a setup similar ta the International Joint Commission. Far English speaking peoples everywherc it is a vivid, vital, historical undcrtaking. For Hitler and his uneasy friends it is a lesson they must pause ta study. The Democaricies are consolidating. But *we must go further-and quickly, too. Britain should at once release New- foundland to cone within the orbit of the. agreement. Definite proposais rcgarding St. Pierre and Miquelon must be laid on the table. Wficn the whole semi-cirele from Ice- land4to the Bàlaamas must be formec into the first lise of defenée for this north haif of the continent. Boards can onlY study and recommend. We believe publie opinion on both ides of the border is ripe for the adoption of a formai, signed pact of military alliance for the duration. And no legisiature dare refuse ta ratify. Neither Mr. Roosevet nor Mr. King wil sufer politieally for the wise, bold, un- heralded meeting that has se recently taken place. .Not Without Honor Prom many overheerd conversations on the subjcct last Thursday night we are left in fia doubt that the people of Bewmanville really appreciate the community effort of the Service Clubs. Club members will be gratified le know Ibis for it hem been rumor- cd et times that they have corne undefined seifish interesta in thus aetting themselves up as community servants. Thal the people continue 10 turn eut year after year in ever increacing numbers ta support tâhe annuel drives for funds is not enly indicative thet the clubs pravide f irst- rate enterlaimexit but is evidence thet the unique service thcy render to the under- pivileged is recognized. The reward of service is in knowing the beart af someone hac been warmed by a gexierous action. If one were able Vo cave a life, but nothing ever were known about il lihe satisfaction wouJd be litIle. We are al humen beings and it la the spaken word of praise whichb bcd spurs us on ta a finer effort. Hardy People-These Norsemen A peculier thriil was aur response 10 a newc item over the radio the other morning. Il scems thal four Norwegians hed errived ixn Halifax herbour efter fleeing their coun- try in a smeii sail boat, crossing the Atllen-, tic, and suffering many privations on tbc -'way from thirst and hunger. History is anc, of many week points wiîh Ihis writer s0 we cannaI sey hou long ega il was since the feet wes before eccompliched -was it Leif Ericcon?7 enyhow severel other Norsemen have gone down in historY for their trips on tbe rough Alantic but the thrili came with the realizalion thel the hardy Viking spirit in these Norwcgians is net dead. They hed, the men said, come la the new world te escape Nazi oppression and te be- gin life anew. WedU I There 's pioncering for yen 1 The idea thet the world bas growxi up in the small years cf Ibis century got e bed knock on the beed when tbe second Great War came along. Il fa cii in swaddling clothes we should suppose. No surprise will b. feit then whexi lbe exigeneies of war açain elicit the pioneening instincts of men- k'fld. Seeking new horions cf UW. these Norce- men 1k . t.heir aiestors set forth braely and adventuroucly to a new werid. Who labelled the t'eentieth century "soft", "a machine age"? As long as there are men like these who have the determina- tien not to endure Hitler, we too, can find a way ta escape that evil man. Vocational Guidance Helping industry by adjusting the worker te his environment ind preventing square pegs being placed in round hales is the con- struction programme of the Ontario Voca- tional Guidance Association. Writing in the Toronto Board of Trade Journal, Augnat issue. Wm. G. Cales, of that Association averred' that a large Canadian transportation Company, by scientifiec elec- tien and guidance of its empioyeeé, redneed dlaims for damages against itaelf by six figures of dollars in lcss than three years. Greater 'benefits wonld accrue ta indnstry in this Province, stated Mr. Cpoles, throngh closer co-operation with the Vocalional Guidance Association, particnlariy in pro- viding this body with data on Job Analysis, or the characteristics à job demands of a percon. Accumulation of this data would then be made available te ail industries ta their financial benefit. About Censorship From lime ta lime newspaper readers maY fail te find in the columns of their favorite newspaper any account of certain happen- ings with regard te the war effort that may be well-known i their district and an every- body 's tangue, and are discussed with vim everywhcre men meet. This does not necessarîly inean that the paper doès not 14eep an eye on ail that is going on. ItV simply means that, there is a power in Canada that is mightier than the pen. Il is the mark of the censor. Though the aforementioned matters may be generally known neverîheless, they fal within the scope of war effort matters that must not be mentioned, and, s0 far, Cana- dian newspapers have shown thcmselves ta be highlY amendable ta this regulation, and. as gennineiy anxions as any other agency ta obey the rules of this dulY canstitnted and obviously necessary departmenl of censor- ship. Every lime an event occurs, it la necessary for editors ta deive into their censorship files ta sec whether or not such an event can be passed on ta the public in the printed word. There is an excellent discipline in these matters, becanse Canadians, and that, of course, includes Canadien newspapermen, are consistentiy good observera aof the laws. The Board of Censorship is not a forbid- ding group of back-browned individuals who preside over the destinies of the news. They are merelY men, who know the news- paper business, and snggest that such-and- such an item of news might be withheld for the good of the. cauntry.-Any query sent ta them with regard to any news is answered qnickly and courteously. Occasionaily newspapers are asked ta sup- press an item which seems quite harmless, yet there is a reeson for it and a valid pur- pose in suppressing il. 0f course live newcpapers cennot fail but be irked at times by restrictions that appear unreasanable and unnecessary. For instance, the newspapers have been speeiallY reqnest- ed not te mention the nemes of interned per- sans, exeept in cases where they eppear be- fore open courts, and net ta refer ta the location of internment camps, iet alone nem- ing bath in ane breaith. Newspapers in gen- crel have complied with the law in this re- gard, rcalizing that there are very valid reasons why these restrictions shonld be im- posed. The information, se carefuily con- cealed by the honorable press, la aveilable ta fthe enemy in almost any place where men foregether. Speaking of the apparent oddities of the pronouncements of the censors oni oc- casion, anc incident is worthy of notice. At the epening of the war, the King and Qucen returned te London from their Scottish residence. Sureiy there would be no harm in the newspaperc mentianing this fact. The royal party made public returu and were grected along the waY by thonsands of layai subjects. Had the eritieh censors inslated that no reference be made to the rcturn of the royal party ta London, there wouid have been very bitter wooeds about the sensless- ness of the censors. The newspapcrs eccordingly dnly record- cd the fact thet King George and Qucen lizabeth were»back1in-bondon. Fr-m hla story is making wonderfnl pragress ta re-j covery yet he. neyer left the town. He basj simply ëhut off the radioata his home and is finding absolute curceece from hic bnsi- ness, spending moct of hia lime watching the market where everything is quiet thece dayc and vliting places of business that advertise in The Statemman.
