Hon. Mr. Hepburn adds that if a picture on the theme of "Canada‘s Lack of War Effort‘" were presented to the Ontario board, it would be banned as promptly and completely. There are people who accuse Premier Hepburn of making too hasty or too prejudiced decisions. It might be well if these good people would take care not to fall into the same fault on their own account in judging Hon. Mr. Hepburn‘s picture Bban it fair to say: "Just another ‘break‘ by ban. ‘Is: it fair to say: ‘"Just another ‘break‘ by Hepburn?" ~From another angle it is decidedly giving a "break" to the opposition, to the parties epposing the Dominion government, and the "breaks‘"‘ have been all the other way so far. Hon. Mr. King banned the opposition from giving its case in parliament, by scuttling parliament. He has banned the opposition from the use of the radio, by handing out a generous supply of gags to all radio station managers, the said gags being designed to fit only opposition mouths and to leave King supporters with the fullest jaw freedom. Before condemning Premier Hepburn‘s action, it might be well to consider this Unmited States film. References made in the newspaper desâ€" patches from Ottawa suggest that the film gives information in regard to Canada‘s forces that Col. Drew would not be permitéed to mention over the radio. There are scenes that might well be described as "false and misleading" and liable to "give comfort to the enemies of the Empire." Someone may say:â€""But I don‘t see how this or that in the picture could do any harm!" Will that same gentleman stand up and take his soléemn affidavit that passages just as apparently inâ€" nocuous have not been blacked out of the radio addresses of Hon. Dr. Manion or Hon. Denton Massey or some other honourable speaker for the opposition ? To those who may suggest that motion pictures â€"â€"even from a foreign country â€" should be free fromâ€"ban for purely political reasons, one quesâ€" tion:â€"‘*Will the provinces that may permit the showing of this film accept a film that makes fromâ€"ban for purely political reasons, one Guesâ€" tion:â€"‘*Will the provinces that may permit the showing of this film accept a film that makes reply to this one?" That is the test of freedom in such matters. The freedom of the press is possible because there is always possibility for the other side to be stated. Without this freedom for reply â€"â€" even though the cost of reply rests on those respondingâ€"there is no freedom, but simply the loaded dice of dictatorship. The truth is that under the present conduct of radio and motior pictures the freedom is so circumscribed as to make either the film or the broadcast entirely un â€" suited for political propaganda. The present election is showing that the radio is no more than a conveninet tool for governmental party purâ€" poses. If Hon. Mr. Hepburn has done no more than to show that there is to be no such unfair been asking been found Reports from overse of the soldiers, the : battle lines. or prepar reports may well mak tish hearts thrill with men on the 1 ready, willing all.

Mitchell Hepburn has raised another storm by banning the showing in Ontario of "The March of Time" film about Canada‘s effort in the present war. As chairman of the board of censors of motion pictures in the province Premier Hepâ€" burn describes the picture as "blatant political propaganda‘" and decrees that it will not be shown in the province until after the election. He points out that in the 1937 provincial election it was proâ€" posed: to use United States films showing C.I.O. riots in United States industrial plants as propaâ€" ganda to assist the Liberal party cause. The chairman and the members of the Ontario board decided that such action would be unfair and imâ€" proper in provincial affairs, and it is held as equally unfair and improper in regard to the Federal field.

It has been a fact that the done| funereal atmosphere fostered during the present war has not only hampered Canada‘s war effort, ~â€"â€"~+~â€" i but it has acted in depressing way in regard to [ § Canada‘s contributions to auxiliary causes.

The truth is that all these services are necessary, ! â€"indeed essential,â€"and all should have the fullâ€" | est support from the home front. It is good counâ€" [ set on the home front these days to say:â€""Give! , Give Till it Hurts!" and to add the further word: "And don‘t be hurt too easily!"

For next week starts another engagement on the home front. Next week the battle for funds for the Salvation Army Red Shield commences. Here is another opportunity for effective service on the home front. The Salvation Army is seeking a million dollars in Canadaâ€"$10,000 in Timmins and disâ€" trictâ€"for the Red Shield work. It may seem like a lot of moneyâ€"but there will be a lot of service ziven for it. For that million dollars the Salvation Army will give the soldiers at home and overseas many million dollars of benefits. Ask any returned manâ€"no matter what his creedâ€"no matter if he had no creedâ€"what he thought of the Salvation Army in the last war. Any veteran of the last war will tell you that the Salvation Army was always right along with the other armies. They were the moral supports of the Allies, always ready with a cheery word â€"and a cup of coffee â€" and a welâ€" comeâ€"all frseâ€"for the soldier on leave and at loose ends. There were reading rooms, day canâ€" teens. recreation centres, writing rooms, with free stationery, for the soldier lad who wanted to write home.

Do they speak of love of country, or of their devoâ€" tion to high ideals? N6. Instead they curse the sergeantâ€"major to his face, and say behind his back that he was a good guy and a plucky lad. They talk of bully beef and sing of Mademoiselle of Armentiers. But actions speak louder than words, and in peace, no less than war, the soldiers of the last war have shown themselves men, loyal and true, and thoughtful. It is true that the spirit of advenutre is strong in youth. It is a powerful force in the youth of toâ€"day or so many of them would never have forced their way overseas desâ€" pite all the obstacles. But to say that nothing but the spirit of adventure moved the soldiers of toâ€"day or twentyâ€"five years ago is to reflect on their intelligence. The most of the men who left here for the last war knew what they had to face. But they went cheerfully. If they wished naught but adventure and action, the whole wide world called themâ€"to Alaska, to the far North, to the East, to India, China, Africa, to many new places. Not only did mere adventure call them, but it offered to pay them well. If they answered the call of patriotism and duty, let no man, no film, deny the truth and the sense. \‘ t B PAAA PAAA DAAA A LAAA A LAAA LAAA PPA PPA PA t «P ltA «e t t lt P P AAP PAAA DAAA LAAA LCC LA E:P lt w C Throu foyeicle ultime to wh IMPERIAL ) DISTRIBUTION _ IMPERIAL BANK OPF CANADA the syndicate which stake Edward mine on Cross Lak which property was recot rams.

A newspaper syndiâ€" cate in the United States is offering a daily group of these quips as a newspaper feature. The numâ€" ber of newspapers buying this feature is a proof of its popular appeal for the moment. It is an odd commentary on human nature and shows that the world has little respect for the religions of others. To literally hundreds of millions of people Confucius is a sacred character, and yet tens of thousands of people are using the name in most disrespectful way. It may be interesting to note that at the last census there were 24,037 men and women in Canada who believe that Confucius is more than a saint.
