What The C.C.F. Plans To Do With Canada "IT SURE IS A HONEY!"à ARTICLE NO. 7 Some of us in our younger days have been known f0 say foolish things and fo depart from them mn later life as we gain experience and common sense. In its attitude towards the present war the C.C.F. has occupied an unfortunately youthful position, most of the record of which, the edifor imagines, the leaders of the C.C.F. would give their very eye teeth to escape from. The socialist external policy laid down in "Social Planning for Canada", the aufhenfic literafure of the Socialist Party for Canada, the product mainly of Professor Frank Scoftof McGill University, who at present is National Chair- man of the C.C.F., is a Policy of open neufrality. In this book they say thaf fhey are much more interested in stayîng ouf of a war than in preserving world peace. The editor does flot intend f0 seek for one moment f0 hold the leaders of the C.C.P. Party f0, the sfrictest of accountabiify for their pre-war attitude. When we quofe what fhey say - though we imagine that some of fhem are good and sorry for if - if is solely to show that if is possible for the C.C.F.-socialists f0 be, in some highly important matters wholly wrong. The point is thpt if they were wrong then-as fhey so evidently were-they can be and probably are just as wrong now in Most other important aspects of socialist doctrine. 1Let us take a look at whaf fhey said in anticipation of this war. This is what appears at page 521, 522 and 523 of the book, Social Planning for Canada": "Canada has a strong inferest in European stability and prosperity. We desire a Europe which enjoys a high and secure standard of living. where we shall find a good market for our producfs. But we ought fo have learnf from everything thaf has happened since 1914 that sending Canadman froops f0 fîght on one side in a European war is no contribution f0 European sfability or prosperity. Europe Will eventually have f0 reach a healthier balance of power among her states than exists at present, but there is nof the slighfest reason to believe that we can assist in the process towards this healthier condition by fhrowing our weight info one side or the other of fhe balance. This is one of the cases where the patient can only be cured by his own exertions. We should therefore make clear to London and to Gene'va that we lntend to fertilize no more crops of POPPies bloomlng i Flanders' fields. "This is admittedly a somewhat negative policy. By adopting if we frankly proc]aim that we are for the moment puting more stress upon keeping ouf of war than upon Preserving world peace. But the plain facf is that a big war is more than likely now, and that a policy of neufralify seems just as possible for us, as if does for fthe United States. In a world at war we should inevitably suffer, but« if will certainly cosf us less f0 sfay ouf than f0 go in. We should serve notice now that .we intend f0 remain neufral, and prepare ourselves for such a position by adopting in advance neutralify legislation of the kind proposed f0 the United States Senate by the NyeCommitfee on Armaments. 'Unhappily if is nof only in Europe thaf war threafens. The banknupfcy of bofh the League and the Kellogg Pacf means that nothing can now stop furfher Japanese aggres- sion in China excepf the intervention of the United States. If has been a cardinal feafure of American policy for the lasf two generations f0 mainfain an open door in China for American commercial expansion. The big navy policy of the present American government points f0 a collision sooner or later with Japan in the Pacific, and this would affect us in Canada more direcfly than troubles in Europe. If is a hopeful sign that many Americans are arguing thaf the American stake in China is not worfh the cosf of a great war, but the inherent drive of American capifalism for overseas markets may force a conflicf. The Canadian people as a whole have no more interest i this American imperialism than they have ln British lmperiallsm, and we must try te keep from being entangled iits operations."1 These Utopian socialîsts were living in a litf le world of their own. Doubfless they have now awakened but their intentions were good and undoubfedly fhey are keenly humanistic. We must give them credif for thaf. Let us quote again froni page 523: "At the same time, while the immediate urgency is f0 concentraf e on keeping ouf of the wars that threaten, we must work for a world which is genuinely based upon the collective organizafion of security . . . But the besf contribution we can make in such a direction is f0, esfablish a socialist commonwealth within our own borders." If is not necessary f0 seek fo prejudice the socialist case by pointing ouf thaf while many of the rest of us were geffing alarmed for the future of our freedom, these socialisfs, acknowledging te fhemselves that another big war was in the making, at the same fime bjinded fhemselves wifh the idea thaf we could retain our freedom and our national existence by refusing f0 fight for if. We have said that some of the boys would give their eye teeth not te be on record as they are in the ]ighf of the present war, but the enfhusiasm of youth is a strange fhing and E. B. Jolliffe, young Ontario leader of the C.C.F., told his parfy's last annual banquet: "The C.C.F. policy in Ontario wouhd enable fhe cifizens of the province te make a far more effective contribution f0 the winning of the war." From the paragraphs we have quoted above on C.C.F. foreign policy, our readers can judge for fhemselves jusf what contribution Canada would be making te, the war under the C.C.F. The only point, as we have said before, about this article is te prove thaf like Mayor LaGuardia, the C.C.F.-sociahisfs can make mistakes-and they can also be likened f0 Mayor LaGuardia who said of his mistakes: "'When I make one if sure is a honey." STUART R, JAMES INSURANCE AND REAL ESTATE - Successor To J. J. Mason & Son - PHONE 681, 493 BOWMANVILLE Priority System Cornes Into Effect JuIy lst Loing Distance Cails In order fo meef the situation created by the steadily mounfing volume oh long distance telephone calîs, a system of priorifies be- come effective July 1. This step is being faken f0 assure speedy completion oh calls for essenfial purposes. The use oh priorities on war- urgent hong distance telephone catis simply permits calis vital f0 the war effort f0 obtain preferred handling when lines are crowded. "Since priorîties will be used only in cases of gravest emer- gency, f here wihl be no undue in- terference with long distance ser- vice f0 the general public," com- mented Frank Williams, Bell Tel- ephone manager here, "'Alfhough the average speed oh ouf-of-town felephone connec- tions has been pretfy welh main- t ained, there have been some de- hays during busy hours f0, and from important war centres," Mr. Williams said. "Because of hfle necessity for conserving maferials, if is no longer possible f0 extend long distance facihifies f0 keep pace with the increasing volume of cahis. ".Therefore, the Long Distance Priority Plan estabhishes pro- cedures whereby urgent war messages may obtain preferred handling. The use oh prionities is confined f0 persons charged wifh responsibilities relafing direct ly f0 the war program, such as gov- ernment officiais, the a r m e d forces, war organizations, and agencies essential f0 public healfh and safety. Not ail calis Placed by these pe'rsons wili be entltled te prlority treatment, but only those whlch require immnediate completion for national defencle or te safeguard life 'and property in time of emergency. "Ordinarily long distance catis wil continue to be made in the usual manier, but telephone users are stihi being asked nof f0 make ouf-of-town calîs unless absolute- ly necessary, and f0 make even those catis, if possible, at other than ftie busy hours." WHAT IS LOYALTY? (The Elora Express) If wilh be welh if a Brîtain, a United States, a Russia and a China, emerge from fhis war vic- forious. If will not be well if the fire fhrough which fhey have been required f0 pass does not feacli them that every nation has, above the loyalty f0 country, a dufy f0 mankind. If will be well if, in some measure and the great- er the bef fer, the national loyal- ty f0 Caesar is transhated info an internat ionah acceptance ohffthe laws oh Christ.
