PAGE TWO The shortage of manpower in this country is a matter of very great concern to industry and to the armed forces. The Minister ef National Defence. Col. Ralston was very definite in his statement that men would not be released from Military duties for the purpose of harvesting crops and other farm services except in very exceptionâ€" al cases. He is of the opinion. in spite of many protests to the conâ€" trary. that farm work can be carâ€" ried on without calling on the miâ€" litary reserve for labor. In this connection also it was found necesâ€" sary to make a change in the tax rate for marricd people who are both employed in industry and salaried. The original proposal was to treat both> man and wife as single people for tax purposes but it was found that women were leaving industry in droves, and that necessary office workers woere resigning because it was cheaper for them to live on the salary of the husband than for both to pay taxes. The situation now is that the husband is exempt as a marâ€" The sinking of three more ships in the Gulf of St. Lawrence by enemy action caused the House of Commons to hold a secret sitting for the second time this session. Incidentally, the secret sitting took place Saturday morning and the House will continue to hold mornâ€" ing sessions and to do away with cgstomal'y evening recesses until adjournment. Mr. Roy, the Memâ€" ber for Gaspe, in whose district the sinkings in the St. Lawrence took place was highly agitated by conâ€" ditions and ursged the seetet session in order that he might disclose to the House some of the vory grave matters which had come to his atâ€" tention in connection with enemy action in the St. Lawrence. It was pointed out that the sinkings off the Coast of Nova Scotia and Briâ€" tish Columbia had been taken as ordinary acts of war and had not required the t‘ime of the Houes in secret, but neverthcless Mr. Roy‘s motion was put to the vote and carried. Canada and Canadians would have a better chance of coming through this war if Canadians belieyed in themselves. We don‘t quite believe in ourselves. It is a national paradox that, although impressed by the tradition of having bravely chopped down and ploughed up & wilderness, we still lean mentally on the people of other countries. This is a new situation for Canadians and we must grow up to the ; responsibility of it now in the midst of limitless peril. It puts to the! supreme test our national churacter and we are illâ€"prepared to meet| the test, for we have come through the years without attaining to any‘ wellâ€"defined | nationalâ€" character. _ ‘The original pioneers, the hardy! French, were settled here by a paternalistic state and then taken o\rer1 by another remote ind dominating people, s The United Empire‘ Loyalists, for all their stubborn will, were established in this country under a species of dole from Britain. These origins and a score of other factors have tended to qive us a faceâ€"overâ€"shoulder attitude that 1837 and 1867 and the development of the Commonwealth idea did not| altogether change. It must change now because it is suicide to continue ‘ with our face over our shoulder to see what the big fellows are doing. Our big fellows are up against uther big fellows who are, to date, beatâ€" ing them. The fight is so close that eleven million Canadians, if they got angry, might top the balance. { Much is said these days against the "butler mind", as though the British connection were not the great fact which has made us something of a world power, wlien by ourselves we should have been a straggling political improbability. And there are others who breathe fears of encroachments by the United States, as though we all did not know that the ghosts of the War Hawks are long laid. Canada needs every bit of strength it can suck up from being politically and spiritually part of the Commonwealth and geographically and spiritually part of North America. But to these strengths Canada must add something of her own. We cannot panhandle our way through this war.â€"The Printed Word. We Canadians must realize that we are not playing before a gallery. The gallery is down on the fiecld with us and too heavily engaged to watch and commend our feats. We are on our own, with â€"our own destiny at stake. An advertiser in a recert issue of a Toronto evening newspaper seemed to express his wishes cleurly, if bricfly. His advertisement read "Bookkeeper, experienced. size 16 or 18 figure." One‘s first shock at this lack"of reticence was dispelled when one noticed that the advertiser was a manufacturer of women‘s garments. Evidently the bookkceper is expected to double as a model. No stylish stouts need apply. Yet the classifiecd advertising columns would be brighter and perâ€" haps more uscful to employers if all advertisers used a few more words to describe the nonâ€"cssential qualitics desired from jobâ€"seekers. In the good old days when an advertisement for a housemaid would produce results, advertisors were always plagued by a host of appliâ€" cations from girls who had nothing in the way of looks to recommend them. The harassed hbusewife would accept one of these on the theory that, having no looks, she must be a good worker. This quality of mind. makes us fairly good coâ€"operators with Britain andâ€"the United States, with whom are obviously bound up our hopes of survival not only a§s a nation but ag [amilies and a people. But Britain and the United States have a right to.expect something better from their ally, Canada, than tractable coâ€"operation. They have a right to expect a spirit of forthright enterprise that aims at winning the war on our own account, for it is on Canada‘s own account that she is in league with these others and with Russia and China in carrying on the struggle. An indication that we are not sufficiently serious about our reâ€" sponsibilities to ourselves is seen in the recruiting comparisons which we make between our own war efforts and those of our allies, or between what we are doing now and what we have done in the past. These comparisons ure interesting but they are not very important. The only vital consideration is that we must perform miracles, going beyond anything that our ingcnious and ruthless enemies can contrive. One husband, becoming satiated with a constant procession of inefficient domestics through his home, finally®persuaded his wife to let him choose the next maid. He judged the applicants by eye and gave the job to the bestâ€"looking. She turned out to be the best the family has ever had, and remained with them until the competition of munitionâ€"makers for her services could no longer be met.

A further change in the tax situâ€" ation resulted from complaints that military officers serving in Canada should be exempt from taxation as are those who are serving overseas.
