THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1941 Back Them To The Limit There are two things of the greatest na- tional importance how before the people of this country. First is the cal1 to arims issued by Hon. J. L. Ralston, for 32,000 young, strong, healthy men for miitary service. They are needed now aud needed badly. If this country fails quickly to mnuster them, it will be something of a national disgrace; it nisy even be the last long cail of this present government. It is our duty, aud yours, no matter what our opinon of present qualities of leadership, to do what we can to meet this quota. The caîl hasn't reached this commnunity yet, save as an advertise- ment in the papers, but we suggest to those who can go, that they should do so. . and at once. The other eaUl is for $600,000,000. This cannot fail either because of the moral ef- feet of failure. We expected that a larger amoumt would have been named, but evideut- ly caution and uncertainty held their usual sway. In this district we already 'have a "bond eellar" with an outsider in charge and there is. evidence of governmeut nurtur- ing, over mnany weeks to the end that this loau* will "go across." In tis too, we and you must do our part to 'offset failure. No matter what our views of the -government, and this peculiar, unexplainable uneasiness that cornes over us, as we read Hansard anîd watch events, The States#ia 's stand is these things must be put across successfully wbich means, quickly. If we caui do that . . . then we eau turn our attention to what might be found necessary to do in regard to leadership and reorganiz- ation at Ottawa. As we commence these linos we are in- formed, officislly, that word bas corne to eut dowu by 50 per cent the existing miitary establishments in this locality. There are sueli strango things going on that even the most cool-headed miust become 'côufused. Prom a rank sud file of over 100, our local unit is, now down to about four; the boys simply tsrned in their uuiforms. We now ask that they agam cerne forward to help meet the present eaUl. The Functions of An Editor The titie "editor" is sometimoes misundor- stood by newspaper readers not because they want to misunderstand but beeause they have neyer been told just wbat the functions are of the person who holds this titie. An editor, to oxplain it briefly, is one who superiutends, revises or propsr'es liter- ary matter for publication. The title does net necessarily moan that the policy of the newspaper is set or controlled by the oditor. On large newspapers there are many editors, and policy is usually deeided upon by the managing oditor. The duties of the other editors, city, sport, suburban, women 's page aud others, are simpîy to carry out the dutiçs prescribed in their particular spheres. For our purpose, however, we must deal with the editor in a little different light, because in fully 90 per cent of Canada's weekly rlewspapers, the editor is also the publisher. In other words hé fille the du.al role of preparing literary matter for public- ation, and of decidling upon policy as well. We want to deal with the funetions of an editor from this staudpoint. Eseetially the editor is a human beiug, writiug and dealing with men, women aud childen. e ma be oun .or1od, -zyo of commçns Aind more -i 1p.*pvincial Legisisture are th'n from the cities. .di*i'bDdecides what is fit 4j~fr~It.It je ho who dif- end propagauda. otire leader- aeunity muet have. Ho le not hard to get aloug with, but lie lias a code of ethie whicb. often causes hini to refuse business rather than sccept it against well grounded principles. Ho is flot a super-lruman. Ho is a hard-working in- dividual doing an important job in thre com- muity to the best of hie abiity, aud if at tumes lie fails in bis task, it must be remem- bored that lie is like every other human boing in the comruunity, heir to the frailties with which all mankind is eudowed. In Alil ts Fury Prime Minister King just the other day gave Canadians a view of wliat miglit be expected in warfare very soon. The Hun was pictured as makiug a tremendous effort in a sories of "smaehing blows of unpreced- euted geverity" to bring total defeat to the British Commonwealth of Nations. Aud Can- ada ie senior partner within that circle. He said: "Total war will be waged in aIl its fury." Those were stirring words not ligbtly to be disregarded. Yet their effeet lias al- ready woru thin. It was just anotlier round- ed speech, emboseed witb studied profundit- ies that makes good reading but lacks that quickening seuse of dangerthat inspires ini- stant action. This came on the ove of Mr. Ralston's appeal for 32,000 recruits. 1 This paper bas always liad bigli regard for Mr. King as a peace-time Prime Minister, but as a war-time leader Wve oarly conceived a mental picture of hini. shrinking in borror at thre discovery that ho bad blood ou bis hands. We hold to the view tiret lie bas not, nor ever had, nor ever will attain that bard, cold, ruthiessuoss that is noces- sary for a maxn in thre position lie now oc- cupies. We eau conceivo of those necessarily brutal qualities in botir Mr. Churchill sud Mr. Roosevelt, but not in Canada's Prime Minister. How auy mani or any group can play up the phrase "Total War" sud rejeet its -corollary " Total Effo#t" and try to main- tain sincerity is a xnystery. There je oxly onie way to wage total war sud that je by ma.kixig everyoue within the nation take hie or lier place or cotribute bis or lier substance to the total cause lu axiy manner best suited to achieve total succes in this mad war with Hitler. Wheu Mr. King or an yone else tries to de- iude tbemselves with the ides that Canada is today wagmng total war, oYr anythiug near total war, tliey cannot long survive tire bard, cold, logic of the case sud ail it iniplies. To- tal war eau onîy apply wben tire state takes suprome command sud lunes up the linker witir the volunteer, in ail phases of our national effort. And tis means .Just wbat wo are heading for .. . conscription. We are told that Quebec je 100% behind our war effort. We are told almost in the same breatb that Quebec won't stand for con- scription. What ti slil about we do not know, save that it simply 4oes flot make sense. And we are told that Mr. King and Mr. Lapointe, (virtually joint-premiers ae- cording to oui' readini of Hansard>, are pledged' againet conscription. When tirey are told to look at what Britain is doing in the way of cormaudering man-power, they point wavoring fingers in tire general di- rection of Australia to bolster their uncer- tainties. There je neither, courage, logic nor docision iu the whole silly business. Tire time lias come wbeu someone muet take liold. We eau affoýrd to dare pleuty to the end that we shalbave freedom in thre end. We say this because, day by day in this rural community we licar expressions of doubt sud uncertaity .. . sud even fear, aud from the lips of thoso who only a yoar ago voted Mr. King back to power. The time for total buncombe je past. For À Bigger, Beter Town After listouing to Russel Kelleys' address at the prose convention in Hamilton aset week an editor 's wife was heard to rexnsrk, "I1 wish evory citizen in our town could have ireard that address." "Do you know I was thinking the same thing," commented lier table companion. Mr. Kelley spoke not of war but of the emali Ontario town sud ho'w to make it a biggor, btter town. "I do believe that ini every emaîl town there should be a Cliamber of Commerce or a -Board of Trade or similar organization, " wasoue of Mr. Kelley's statements. "I bo- lieve that escli one of us owes it to iris own comxnunity to spend bis money at hom," na nother-stteniep.nt.- weekly prose of Canada.

Since thon, tire national income iras climbed back until it is within 3 % of tire 1929 figure, while the agriculturai income le 26.5% low- or than that of 1929. To put- it another way, in* 1926,.33% o! the, people received 17.8% of tire na- tional income;* in 1932 tirey me- ceived 5,05 %, sud tuis yearwill receivo about 10%.
