Of course, some people think bachelors are poor fellows, anyway,: even: theugh they are elected to parliament or appomted to political office. .

Of course, the enquiry suggested a solig¢itude for the memâ€" bersâ€"of the family group referred to. Hereafter the enguiry, "How‘s the family?" may again beâ€" come popular. But the question, will have a new significance. Instead of being an enguiry. as to health, it will be in reality ane in reference to a man‘s financial standing. Inmstead of the answer â€" The second reason for special reference to the Salvation Armyi.at this time is the fact that this month the Army is making appeal for support for its Home Front work. In this fact those who dreaim of a better and a braver world â€" and who does not? â€" have the opportunity to make the wish come true. The Home Front work of the Salvaâ€" tion Army makes possible the overseas effort of this great organization. It is a work of lifting up men and women and children, and building here and now, in great measure a new and better world. . ; | ! ‘ d Pss There are two reasons for singling out the Salâ€" vation Army in this (brief discussion. of seeking a braver and a better world. The first is that the Salvation Army appears to have in truth "the human touch." As one old soldier said: "Sally Ann bound up my bleeding head before she‘ asked me if Ithad a blooming soul." In the words of a certain famous curvaceous figure of stage and screen, the average church seems to say, "Come up and see me some time," while the Salvatlon Army‘s idea appears to. be, ‘"We‘re always a.round to get you." j Supposing the tenets of the Salvation Army practice were to be universally adopted, what would happen to all the problem$ of the day? The planks in the practical platform of the Salâ€" vationt Army are: Sincerity, Kindness, Friendship, MHelpfulness, Unselfishness, Mercy, Forbearance, Faith, Brotherhood, Gentle Thought for Others. Surely these are policies that would right labour troubles, make greed and oppression disappear, and turn this earth into a truly better world. Of course, this is all equally true about practically any |of the churches or religions of this country. If there was more religion of the practical kind. there would be less need for politics and for laws and regulations. Indeed, many people feel that the spirit. of the people will do more to right conâ€" ditions and to redress wrongs than a multitude of policies or enactments. . , There has been an enormous amount of talk in Â¥eeent times about the better and ‘braver world that is to emerge after the war. There are people who believe that their politics will abolish poverty, eliminate misery, cure illâ€"health and make everyâ€" ~body happy and prosperous. ‘There is one organâ€" however, this is just 65 years ahead of these dreamers about Utopia. That organization is the Salvation Army. ~For sixtyâ€"five years it has been busy trying to abolish poverty, eliminate mis-â€"l ery, cure illâ€"healtl: and make everybody happy and prosperous, ~And the Salvation Army has succeedâ€" ed in remarkable way.: The Salvation Army has not tried to bring all down to a common level. Inâ€" stead it has sought in the way, but at the same time in the most cheerful spirit, to lift the lowliest and the humblest to the highest There isn‘t any politics in the Salvation Army, but there is a whole lot of something else â€" something practical, something effective, someâ€" thing that makes the world the better for its active presence. It is said that some men make a religâ€" ion of their politics. If these good people would| make their politics of‘the Salvation Army‘s reâ€" ligion they would get some place sooner than by j simply making their own politics into a sort of: religion.

They that the capture of Kisâ€" .ka has made it unnecessary to maintain so large a | standing army in Canada, but that this does not mean that the army is reduced in :size, but quite the contrary.. With all these explanationsâ€" tzhe‘ situation will be perfectly plam to all} but thoughtâ€" | ful people. People who think to any degree athall â€"will feel that the policy of taking men from esâ€" ‘ sential industries to draft them in a nonâ€"offensive army. If the war continues, thisssuggests that a similar game will be repeated later. Just why business and: life should be disrupted. by this unâ€" necessary callingâ€"up of mien is not explained even by the most ambitious of apologists. According to one of these fervent apologists,, the announcement wili affect only a very few men â€" perhaps two or‘ a couple of ‘thousand, depending on popular credâ€" ibility. War industries are so badly. in need of _ _ Last week there was an announcement from Cttawa that appeared, to. sfigg.es.t.tha.t."Canada inâ€" tended to demobilize part of its drafted army and send part of the remainder overseas, while at the same time calling up older men and married mien for the draft. The announcement raised a regular storm of protest and objection all over the continâ€" _ent. From the United States there came. very naturally very vigorous criticism. It was pomted; out in the United States newspapers and by Un-; ited States public men that Canada had apparentâ€" ly decided to reduce its arme@ forces at a time when the United States was following a directly opposite policy. Of course, the apologists for the Government at once got busy and explained that the original announcement had been misunderâ€" stood but the explanations appeared to miake the whole procedure even worse than it seemed at first hearing. What was to e done, said the apologists, was to discharge from Canada‘s nonâ€"offensive army those who were found to be untfit medically, neurotically or superstitiousiy, placing these genâ€" tlemen in war industries where they were so badly needed. Those found in firstâ€"class physical conâ€" dition are to be shipped for aetive service, the more careful of the apologists explaining that overseas for these soldiers will mean Kiska or Labrador or Newfoundland, or somewhere in this hemisphere, but eertainly not to wiecked Europe. Even the most abijiect of the apologists does not deny that more men, including married men, are| being drafted for service in Canada‘s, nonâ€"offensive Hitler, Mussolini and Togo all tried this bonusâ€" ing jof big families, under one guise or another. But it didn‘t prevent all sorts of infltation â€" from inflation of the ego of dictators to infiation of the woes of the people. In the meantime, however, it would, indeed, be interesting to leatn whether the Government plan includes the families of soldiers, sailors and airâ€" men overseas. Are these families to receive $9.00 per month per child? Or is the family of the men on service overseas to be discriminated against as had been the case in the other bonuses and subsiâ€" dies and costâ€"ofâ€"living extras? _ The advices from Ottawa say that the Governâ€" ment is considering this bhonusing of families with the hope of .preventing inflation Well, once more speaking roughly, $878,0090,000,.00 a year ought to prevent a lot of inflation in this country. Or would it? ‘There is, of course, a suspicion that it is not so miuch to prevent inflation in the economy of Canada, as to prevent deflation im the perty vote in Quebec (and even elsewherei that this $9.00 per child per month performancee is proposed." On. its face (once more speaking roughly) this barefaced bribe of $9.00 per month. per ‘child may appear senseless and silly But that is all the more fear -' that it may actuaily be contemplated, by the govâ€" ernment of the day at Ottawa. It may, indeed, be one of the signs of am early election. Speaking not at all roughly, it might be said that the plan of making such an offer would appear to be just about the perfect trick to a certain type of politician. It would work perfectly. If the Government were defeated in the election, there would be no call to inplement the proinise of $9.00 per child per month, so that would be all right. And if the Government were duly returned, there would be no need to pay the money either, for in that case the Government could simply hold that the election was Simply a plebiscite, and that plebiscites are famous for reâ€"| deeming any promises that Government may havel made not to do anything, by allowing the saidl Government to continue to do. nothing. | between friends, roughly speaking. Of this neat amount (speaking still more roughly) Quebec would receive $12,000,000, Ontario (not so roughly) $10,000,000 and (getting back to the rough stuff) the other provinces would have as,en,qee to d}vide‘ among the seven of them and their families. i ~ MANâ€"POWER MUDDLEâ€"PUDDLE ‘ f mm4 The muugw is tentatively set at $9.00 un per child per month. â€" Roughly speaking (and that "Put into yo is the way anyone would be tempted to speak on courage and p such a scheme), there are about 3,500,000 children Keep your hea: under the age of nfteen in Canada.
