Then imagine ; the consequences which would follow such a statement. The very l‘actf that Mr. Chalout can make such a speech without fear of consequences, should be positive proof to every right thinking person in Quebec, that| Canada and the British constitution is worth defending. Even if to| defend it, we have to go to Europe or the farthermost points of the| earth. The recent sinkings of ships in the St. Lawrence, by Nazi sub-’ marines, should be further proof that Canada is not safe. There is; always the possibility that we may be attacked. If the attack is‘ made from the St. Lawrence, where would the most logical point be: for such? Quebec, Montreal, and the Province itself. In the face of} this should there be a division of opinion in this province, which might| also cause similar division throughout our Dominion? | Mr. King must face the matter squarely. He must put the welfare! of the country and its people as a whole, first and foremost. He must. not give way to the few and sacrifice the masses. He must show the same determination in the face of crisis, as did Prime Minister Churchill, when Britain stood alone. Concessions to Quebec have gonel on long enough, the time has come to be firm and adamant. There must be unity in all we do and say. If there are any differences to settle, let them wait until we have won the war, but let the matter of winning the war be our first considaratinu _ Unatiszadse aml a o wl \ j While we live in Quebec, and the broad statement Quebec, has been used in this editorial, it does not mean that every one in this province voted "No". Thousands of persons said "Yes" in Quebec Province, and they must be defended and segregated from the "No‘s". When such statements as that used by Mr. Chaloult, in the Quebec Legislature, are made. it is time for a defense. The statement follows:‘ "If Quebec‘s point of view is not respected at Ottawa, there is only one solution. Let Quebec get out of the Confederation, Mr. Chalout said. If it is attempted to force conscription on Quebec, let the Government face its responsibilities, and face the danger of civil war, the member said in his concluding remarks." } The action of Quebec in woting "No" is not helping the war Eor{, it is like playing a delaying action. It is just the type of thing that Hitler is looking for. He likes to see the people of the countries he hopes to conquer, start quarrelling among themselves, he likes better still to see the men in governmental positions come out openly in oppoâ€" sition to such issues as the present one. Hitler knows that while they are arguing on such matters, the attention to actual war affairs is diverted. Internal dissension has caused the loss of almost every country which Hitler has overrun. It is in such times that Quislings begin to take hold. The whisper which rises in crescendo until it is a shout and overpowers the sound that come from the right thinking populace. We cannot wait in this war, until the blow is struck, we must act to forestall it. Our Democracy gives the right to every person to state his views and to have his opinions. But it does not give the right to any one person to force such opinions on all other persons to the extent that minority, and not majority, rules. Such is the attitude of the Quebec members of parliament in the Federal House, who have sided with Hon. Mr. Cardin. Such is the attitude of the people of Quebec who voted "No" in the Plebiscite. They want to force their opinion on the whole of Canada, after the‘majority has stated otherâ€" CHESTERFIELD where in the near future. If Mr. King has his plans carefully laid in advance, it will be a simple matter to implement them. Canada will be prepared, the people of Canada will be prepared, the articles of war will be prepared. We will not be like France and the other countries, bewildered, surprised, befuddled and with our government not knowing what it should do. Therefore, Mr. King must introduce changes and measures which, while they may look like a very fast entry into conscription, may only be preparing the way in case such steps become actually necessary. Past experience has taught us that we eannot afford to wait until the actual moment for action has arrived, we must act at once to meet every possible necessity as quickly as it can be foreseen. Even then we may be too late. a clear the deck for action command was asked for. It is our belief that Mr. King does not intend to immediately conscript men for service overseas. He asked for a free hand, and it was granted. It stands to reason that certain preliminary changes in Acts and introduction of new legislation. must of necessity follow. We believe it is Mr. King‘s idea to merely pave the way in a preparedness program against such times as real danger threatens, or the call for men is increased. Such a call must come, if there is to be any real action in Europe and ehe-‘ the whole of Canada and cause the Government at Ottawa to sway from a determined course of action? The vote was to free the hands of the Government and release it from its election promises. There was no hint at conscription being immediately put into effect, merely As forecast by many writers on political matterns, the Plebiscite would bring its complications whichever way it went, Yes or No. In a general survey before the vote was taken, it was thought that there would be a greater number of "No‘s" throughout the country, than actually was the case. Quebec‘s almost solid "No" vote was not surâ€" prising, but there was a little surprise that it should be the outstanding province in.this respect. The general result for the Dominion, however, was very definitely "Yes". f In view of the events of the past week at Ottawa and in the Quebec Legislature, will Quebec be allowed to impose its will upon Events of the past week at Ottawa and in Quebec have been of such a nature as to arouse public interest over the entire Dominion. The resignation of Hon. P. J. A. Cardin supplied the dynamite which caused an eruption among thinking people all over Canada. Following on this came repercussions from other quarters, which had equal bombshell proportions. There appeared for a time as if there would be serious complications in this province, but some of the violence of the storm seems to have died down. Of course, it may only be a lull to the gathering again of the storm clouds. ‘ PAGE TWO (Chronicle Correspondent) THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE By J. E.
