'.or stora o a strict fletter of ‘the rules, newspapers in general would have little scope to present the news of the day, let alone express opinions. Heavy penalties are provided for example, for circulating or disâ€" seminating in any form what is termed "prohiâ€" bited matter," and this "prohibited matter" is slefined as including:â€"â€" . "f{a) Any: adverse or unfavourable statement, report or opinion likely to prejudice the of . _ or the efficient prosecution of: the _ "(c¢) Any information with respect to the moveâ€" 'meflts numbets, description, candition or disâ€" positlion of any of the armed ferces of* His Majesty or any allied or associated.power, or with Fespect to the plans or conduct of any opgrations by any such forces, orâ€"with respect to the supply, erl tion,. condition, transport or manufacture r of war materials, or with respect to * C , wit.h or infiended for the fortification of apy place; or any information of such a nature s is calculated to be or might be directly useful war, gnd the censorship officials will find ninety : cent. of the newspapers earnestly anxious to ie by all the rules and regulations, at least in ‘ Newspapers might well be excused toâ€"day if they announced something like this:â€""No editorials for this issue! Too busy studying the censorship regulations just received, and too afraid to say a word until the rules are very careâ€" fully noted and weighed!" Censorship is some: thing new to the present generation of Canada, and none of those concerned are likely to appreâ€" clate . 1t Newspapers, however, recognize its abâ€" solute: necessity for the proper ‘conduct of the war, and. per cent ' ,abldéfby g ;splrfi’; *T Hereafter the war must be fought with the reâ€" establishment. of Poland as the great issue. Poland typifieé the real issueâ€"the right of people to live on this earth. As in many another passage of history, it is "Poland versus the Barbarians!" A study of history and of fact will show that in culture, in ideals, in true human progress, the Polish people have far surpassed the Nazi hordes. Poland has earned the right to lifeâ€"to freedom. Poland must be reâ€"establishedâ€"a greatâ€" er, safer, freer Poland. Some weeks ago The Advance made editorial reference to the quotation carried at the head of the questionnaire sent out by the committee for Voluntary Registration of Canadian Women:â€" "There is no happiness apart from freedom. Freeâ€" dom is the sure heritage of those alone who have the courage to defend it." Poland has purchased her freedom, her life at a great price. Her story of toâ€"day is one of the noblest epics of history. Poland lives toâ€"day in greater truth than in all her previous glorious history. So long as there are men and women and children of Polish blood on earth, a new Poland may be rebuiltâ€"must be rebuilt. m _ When the present war commenced, it was said that it wWas not a conflict to Save Poland, but to assure the safety of the world from the force of brutal aggression that left no part of the world safes That was the truthâ€"is still the truth. But another truth is now equally evident. Poland has given of its noblest and best to stop the aggressorsâ€"to save liberty. It is not the first time that Poland has been the willing sacrifice to save Europe from the barbariansâ€"to pay even the price of life itself for freedom. It should be the last time that such a sacrifice should be required. The battle cry of this war should be:â€""Poland shall be free! Poland shall live again! A greater, a happier, a safer Poland!" an idea should not be tolerated for a minute. Poland is not dead! Poland will not die! Poland cannot die! Poland has proved itself of material immortal! It is true that for a few months the might of enemies may enslave the land of Po: land! the battle of toâ€"day wiil not be won until Poland is free once moreâ€"until a new and greater Poland rises on the wreck of toâ€"day. Canadaâ€"83.00 Per Year. United Statesâ€"$83.80 Per Year . SBeveral newspapers and public men have recently used an expression to the effect that "Russia has given Poland her death blow." Such .;epgrt “Aor_”_ awgemmt intended ,_ reaources' of the North. |_ In a recent issue of The Northern Tribune of | Kapuskasing there was protest made against the _| idea of again establishing an internment camp in | that area. It was pointed out that in the last war _| there was useful work for the interned aliens in clearing areas in the district, but that no more of |this work remained and improved communicaâ€" tions left the district an unsuitable place for | interning alien enemies. The case presented by | The Northern Tribune seemed to be a sound one. There are a number of alien enemies in the North who have lacked the sense to keep a civil tongue in their heads. It is possible that some of these people have been attempting to help the enemy by information and by attempts at sabotage. In any case, the town council of Timmins has apâ€" pealed to Ottawa for the immediate registration of all alien enemies and for the internment of those who are in any way hostile to the land that | has given them fair treatment. It is likely that there will be a considerable number from the North‘ who will earn their own internment by improper action and too loose mouths. Care should be taken to avoid hardship to any of those who are loyal to their adopted country, even ‘though they have not aken out civizenship papers. â€" For the ot.herq-â€"- the disaffected, the malicious, those who add to the hardship â€"of loyal ‘people by their disloyal utterancesâ€"there should be a place of internment for the duration of the war. No doubt there will be enough of these people to warrant a separate detention camp in the North. Such an internment camp should be one that will permit of useful occupation for the prisoners. Along this line. of thought comes the suggestion that the internment camp for the North should be north of Cochrane, and that the services of the prisoners should be used to develop the lignite fields of the far North. This proposal _comes from Cochrane, and like many other sugâ€" gestions from the same town is well worth the _ most, careful thought and consideration. An in ‘ternment camp at Onakawana would be isolated enough ‘to make the detention of the prisoners comparatively easy, while:it still would be in comâ€" munication with the more settled part of the| eount;q so far as the authorities in charge would ‘be concemed. As The Advance has remarked on Jeveml meflous oecasions, while the whole ‘thought at the present time should be centred on the winning of the war, it is well also to keep in. mxnd the oomlng days of peace It will be well | | It is important, however, to the public to know that the censorship regulations are interpreted in a broad way from the public standpoint. During the last Great War the newspapers had experience with censorship, and while it was irkâ€" some on occasion, in the main it was enforced with wisdom and skill. Censors and the agencies of publication alike were seized with the absolute necessity for at least a restricted form of censorâ€" ship. So long as the real purpose of the censorâ€" ship is not forgottenâ€"the better winning of the warâ€"there should be little difficulty. Censorship will defeat one of its own main purposes if the public adopts the attitude that everything is ‘"censored" after the manner totalitarian states. In the last war the press was left free as it ever was, except in connection with matters likely to be directly prejudicial to the successful conduct of the war. In the main, the newspapers gave the heartiest support and coâ€" operation. They will do so again. In return all they ask is that the Government will.not withâ€" hold fraom publication facts that are not prejudiâ€" cial, and information and circumstances already in the knowledge of the enemy. It is casy to see that adhering to the literal interpretation these regulations the censors could hamper publication of news and opinions to an extent that would put newspapers, radio, ! telegraphs, telephones and everything else out of business. Under one interpretation of these regu. lations it would be possible to show that all newsâ€" papers had contravened the law by publisking undisputed facts. The radio could be proven guilty. A broad reading of paragraph (a) might be construed to convict the C.B.C. for the presentation of the address in full of the abbreâ€" viated mad daschund of Naziland. Even governâ€" ment officials would not escape some readings of sections (e) and (f). Publication of the fact that all uniforms of local units of the Canadian militia had been called in could easily be twisted to being ‘ a "report or statement likely to prejudice reâ€" cruiting, discipline and administration of Hi> Majesty‘s forces." opinion or report or any letter or other writing or any newspaper, tract, periodical, book, circular or any photograph, sketch, plan,.model, record, or other representation containing. or commmg of prohibited matter." Section 7"(1) of the reguintions says:~â€"â€" "No person shall, unless with lawful excuse or author Ity,thepmfofvhhmmanhm,m utter, write, print, publish, mm receive or hanmhlspomulonoronmmhhoecn- USEFUL â€" WORK FOR ENEMIES z@;‘;‘s‘ifiz “'”*’c;i the case of the murder of Chancellor Dolfuss, of Austria.

The magistrate also recalled a preâ€" vious highâ€"grading case in which the accused was fortunata enough to find the gola placed in a strap which could be tied around the waist.
