That is :1 fair statement of the reasons for 1 Canada being in the present war, and what : applies to Canada applies equally to the Un- ` ited States in the face of the declared war aims of the National Socialists of Germany. The first of those aims, as quoted by Mr. Cromwell, is as follows: Complete elimina~ tion of British influence from the European continent by the destruction of British mili- destruction of the British Empire itself". The people of the United States cannot ailnrd to l remain asispectators of a struggle in which 1 they themselves have so much at stake.

Moreover. the most recent 1`igures avail~ able show that 39 per cent. of the fully em- ployable persons in Canada who 1'eceive re- lief are located in Quebec. In Ontario, :1 larg- er province, the percentage is 33. While in other provinces the peak of relief costs was passed several years ago, relief expenses have continued to rise. The Post s corrcspondeiit says that this rise has to a large extent. been due to an attempt to replace direct. reliei` with relief works. Experience in Quebec` shows that those employed on relief works re- vert to the direct relief rolls as soon as the works are suspended. This has happened al- though industrial activity has been on the increase in Quebec. KING-iannl Anuhf nnlinf ha 1\r\|1CI-nnl nn:l lll\.aL (70.00 Ill `yup nun.

Similar incidents of canine iiitclligmir.-0 have been reported in the newspapers from time to time, and some of these have been so remarkable that one is inclined to be :skepti- cal of their absolute truth. We know that cm tain types of dogs can be trained to perform particular duties, such as rounding up the cows and bringing` them home for milking". trailing deer for the hunter. assisting police in tl`lCl{iI1[:' down criminals, and leading blind men salely through congested city tru1`l`ic. These duties. however. are more or less me- ch:1nicull_v performed and are attributed to natural or acquired instinct. rutlier than to 21 reasoning intelligence. \.I no+ nu-uhunln nnrl hi.-u \ 1 \ nu-n nninl: in cnncn Ll ILGLJUJIAJIE lllU\4l.|l5Lll\.a\... Most animals and birds are quick to sells-0| lxnniediate danger, and each has its own pe-l culizxr way of expressing alzmn. A lioi`-cm will snort and tremble with fem`. a roostvr or mother hen will squawk and look up at the sky, and the dog will bark excitedly. But the excited barking of a dog is more often -.1 sign of the lack of intelligence. This applies also to some humans who get excited or \.vm`1'ied when there really isn't anything to gel e-x~ cited or worried about. n\\_4.._ ,_ _, _I._..|._ AL...A ...-..-.. lll\\\\:\u1`:t\.\ 0 .\,l ULDCLL UL WULLICLI GIUULQU.

Roumania and Yugoslavia (today's overgrown Serbia) satis- fied their fondest. desires after the last war and could only expect to lose from another. Bulgaria, the one dissatisfied Balkan power, who upset things for us so badly by joining with the Central Powers in 1915, remembers her three dis- astrous wars between l9l2-lti, and has in Boris a wiser king than the adventurous Ferdinand. Greece, as always. is only half with us. None of the.<;4..- countries will in- vite us to land troops or give us permission to cro.<'s their territory until they are actually attacked by Germany by which time it will be too late to save them. Thus 1:; Germany. the devourer of little countries and disre.<'pe(-t.er of ill lights, of neutrality, protected from us here as in Scandinavia and the Lowlands by a screen of neutral states. The time may come when we will have t.o break some of the rules of the game if we art to beat an enemy who disregards them all, but it seems that an early op- portunity to land troops at Sa.lon- ika_ Constantinople or (.`onstan7.a, will only come to us through a new a1.gi'e2~'sioii b_v (lerinany or Rus- sia. Even so it. is a real question how far up the Balkan Peninsula we could light (ierinany to advan- tage. with her armies having be- hind them the best, of the roads and railways in these regions and ours the worst., and several thou- sand miles of sea eounnunications to boot. 'I he heavier the equipment '.f a modern army l)(-conic.-.<: and the more supplies it con. the shorter the distance from its traili- ing` camps and munitions factoritt. at which it can effectively operate. Mr. Chamberlain's detailed account of the preparation of a force to go t.o the aid of Finland has brought this home strikingly. It would have taken nearly two months to transport 100,000 men and their (quipment, half to Finland and half to reinforce Sweden. using the available Scandinavian harbor and railway facilities` to capacity. There but one favorable opening to Germany's southern flank, the short. route' across the North of Italy and up into Austria.

If one were to assume that Ger- ` many and Russia would overrun no more small nations and give us '` no further upportunities for inter- vention, the only alternatives left to us: would be to assault the West- wall or start an intensive air war. We are not likely to try the first of these _unt.il Germany's morale has been weakened, or the sec- und until the Empire Air Scheme has given us undisputed superior- ity in the air.

S.J. 1 :2: :2: =3 ` . 3|DOMINION DIGEST OF THE those who started 11.. _. Hon. Dr. Mani.0n had a heavy task. plan . of a National Government failed to appeal, 4 largely because of lack of confidence. This lack was due to l)r. Manion s failure to give any idea as to the personnel of his proposed . cabinet; to the fact that all his candidates. except two little-known Liberals, were Con- , servatlves. and to the slim possibility of get- . ting strong representation from other par- ties in any cabinet; he might form. Dr. Man- ion also had to contend with a good deal of . apathy in many Conservatives who felt that their old party was being largely submerged in the National plan. We believe Dr. Manion would have fared bet.ter had he run his cam- ` palgn on straight Conservative lines. A regrettable feature. of the situation in the new parliament is the great disparity in the strength of the Govern- ment and the opposing forces. The Opposi- tion lost not only seats but a number of its ablest men. Far better would it be if the Lib- erals had only a good working majority and were faced by a strolig, vigilant. and re- sourceful Opposition. Speaking on (:lt'(`1.lllll night, the Prime Min- ister said: "Now that. the elect.ions are over, 1 ask my l i-llow-(:it.i'/.ens in all parts of this broad land. l orgvtt.ing' the differences of the past to join thr.-ir strength together in the ` fight for vict.oi'y, peace and freedom." The best way to .\`(`.t`lll'(` this co-operation is for the Government. to banish partisanship, remem- bering they are spmnling the money of ALL the people. and to so administer the Nation's affairs as to command the respect and con- fidence of the whole citizenry. .-.._O._.._..
