Winston Spen- | {cer Churchill, the British Secretary {ol War, has himself told Lloyd George that he did not know about 'the issuance of the communication, i but that he believed the Prime Min- {ister mnder-estimated the danger {from the spread of armed Bol- | shevism. { It has been explained to the Prime Minister that the War Office Astoniats of Mr. Churchill, know- ing how strongly he felt on the sub- Ject of Bolshevism, undertook to in- fluence public opinion in the direc- tion of their chief's convictions. \ If Mr. Churchill's views were ac- i cepted the Allies would invade Rus- sia for the purpose of destroying Bolshevism in its home, while Lloyd George's view is that that would amount to war against Soviet Russia, | and would only solidify the Russian © people. : Lloyd Georg \compases the situa- tion respecting ussia to-day with that of France 4 ter 1793 to the end | of the century. | Military pressure from. without, thy. premier, affirms, united the French people behind the revolutionary gove.ument so that they were able not only to make | headway against fore. tn enemies, but | win victories.

Washington, Jan. 19.---Admiral| William 8. Sims, head of the Navy | War College, and formerly in com- | mand of American forces in'Europe, asserted before the Senate Naval Af- | fairs Committee Friday, that the mo- | rale of the American navy has been | "shot to pieces," because of "flag- | rant injustices." While Admiral Sims severely criti- cized the attitude of Secretary of the | Navy Daniels and the National Board | in the conferring of decorations, he disclaimed any intention of attack- | ing the Secretary personally or of | showing insubordination. He was! only performing a -part of what he} considered his duty in offering con- | structive criticism. He was acting solely for the welfare of the navy, he sald. In a formal statement, the Admi- al set forth that departmental cen- | sorship prévented constructive criti- cism, and that as a result the United | States navy was trailing those of ot- her nations. i The Admiral especially resented | the action of Secretary Daniels and | the board in revising recommenda- | tions submitted by- himself. Recom- | mendations inserted by Mr. Daniels, | including one for his brother-in-law, Commissioner David Worth Eagley, | who lost the destroyer he command- | ed in a fight with a submarine, had | been greeted with ridicule through- out the navy, the Admiral asserted. Rear Admimal Sims told the Se- nate Committee Saturday that when | Le was ordered to England in March, | 1917, just before the United States | entered the war, he was instructed by the Navy Department "not to let! | the British pull the wool over your | eyes," and that "we would just as] soon fight the British as the Central | Powers." { .

Talking About Unemployment--The Government is Doing all it Can to Give Returned Soldiers Work. Port Hope, Jan. 19.---Returned soldiers of this district availed them- selves of the opportunity offered by | the presence of Hon. N. W. Rowell, president of the Privy Council, at'a meeting here on Friday night, held {under G.W.V.A auspices, to ask a number of questions in which veter- {ans have an especial interest. Mr. Rowell's address was a review of the Union Government record for [1919 He dealt with the subject {in a comprehensive manner, laying | stress on the measures which had | been taken for the re-establisment of soldiers to civil life and the care | of dependents and disabled veterans. He was given an attentive hearing | throughout. : J. McMillan, president of the local | branch of the G.W.V.. presided, and { with him on the platform was Rev. | Mr, Anderson, a returned chaplain, | and pastor 'of the Presbyterian { church. The former president of the local branch of the G.W.V.A.. Wil {liam Hood, was first to take advan. tage of the opportunity to fling ques- | tions at the Privy Council president. He told of the dissatisfaction | among returned men over the know- i ledge of the large earnings made by foreigners in Canada during the war, | 21so of the criticiem of present con- | ditions, wherby thousands of return- | ed men-could not secure employment | while foreigners held good jobs. While soldiers were fighting for | $1.10 a day men at home were hold- | ing up their employers by means of | strikes for' higher wages. It was in view of this that the veterans felt « there ought to be something more given them on their return. "We have bled for the country and we have come back not to bleed the country, but simply that we may be given our place here in he declared. Should Take Alien Property. Mr. Hood emid #t had also been i suggested that alien enemies, inelud- {ing the former Kaiser, had milHons a 1 | of dollars invested in Canada. Vet- . |erans felt the Government should | bave stepped in and taken this pro- | perty. It this were done the proceeds would help to give gratuities to the soldiers. He was willing to admit that the Government during its {tenure of office had overcome many | problems which had the appearance of mountains, but there were one or {two hills which had not been sur- | mounted. Exception was taken by veterans to the employment of thou- | sands of women by the Government throughout the Dominfon, some of them at salaries higher than veter- ans are securing in ether employ- ment, when these positions could be | filled by returned men In reply Mr. Rowell pointed out { that Canada had to do ome of two things during the war in regard to | employment, It was necessary to jutllizs foreigners fn' munition and | other industrial work if the supplies { were to be furnished the men over- | seas. In many cases these aliens did {rough work which no Canadians {would do and If they had not been | employed the work could mot have { been done Employers in utilizing { the services of foreigners paid them no more than was absolutely neces- sary and the work done was to the | benefit of the country. On the other hand it was impossible by amount of money to pay adequately the men who went overseas for the sacrifices they had made Dealing with the matter of prop- erty owned by dliens Mr. Rowell ex- | ploded the bogey that the late Kaiser {had large property holdings jn this It was not true, the speak- |r said, that Wilhelm had lerge sums of money tied up in property in this country otherwise the Government would have taken them over.
