All the more reason why we in Canada should be grateful that our lot has fallen in a land of peace and plenty, and that we do not walk in immediate fear of tyrants within or menacing` foes without. ' But we must not. assume a Pharis:iical attl~ tude and thank the Lord we are not as other nations.

That Act applies to all provinces alike. and Mr. Duplessis' defiance of the Federal Govermnent when Canada is at war is an act of disloyalty to Confederation. to say the least. It would appear that there are some people in Q11el)e(` who are quite willing to en- joy all the l)enei'it.s oi` (3oni`ecleration without. incurring` any of its risks or responsibilities.

Even on that score of self-preservation alone, one would assume that the people oi` Quebec would whole-he-.1rtedly support all measures of de- fence. But it seems that these Quebec isola- tionists would like the people of the rest of Canada and the British navy to defend the St. Lawrence while they dwell in peace and se- curity. Moreover. it is strange that a people who are so proud of their French relationship should not l)e roused by the mere fact that their Motherland. France, is in danger.
