Hon. Mr. ~â€"Gardiner should be forted to state the scection o the press to which he reéfers, and to show in what way the newspapers referred to hindered Canada‘s war effort. If there is any section of the press that has been subversive, then it was the dutly of Hou Mr. Gardiner and his associates to deal with them The part of a party government, ,as a matâ€" ter of fact has been active enough in suppresing newspapers suspected of subversi«@é tendencies The six organizations in the combined drive this year are the Salvation Army Red Shield, the Canadian Legion War Services, the K. of C. Huts, the Y. M. C. A., the Daughters of the Empire and the Y. W. C. A. In recent issues of The Advance much space has been devoted to detailing the services these organizations are giving to the solâ€" diers, the sailors and the airmen at home and overseas. They provide jentertagnment, educaâ€" tional advantages, sport and personal services of ‘many kinds which enlisted men would otherwise miss. Soldiers in the last war know how vitally important these services were to them. The Salâ€" vation Army‘s "cup of coffee and a smile" to the servicemen just out of the trenches or on leéeave is a memory that is famous. Many a soldier or ~sailor remembers with equal gratitude the helping hind of the K. of C. huts or the services of some of:the other auxiliary organizations. More than one exâ€"serviceman admits today that the reading and writing rooms, the personal services of one kind or another were important beyond all quesâ€" tion. In the present war, these are new services that are of inestimable value, such as those of the Canadian Legton, given by men who know because they were through it all themselves a quarter century ago. It is weil to note also that in the present war, profiting by the experience of the Tast, the services are all better coâ€"ordinated ‘There is no unnecessary duplication, no conflict of services. The six Auxiliary Services are working together, and word from those on service makes it apparent that they are filling a great nced in most effective way. â€"_â€"In the combined financial drive that will be launched on March 24th to raise $5,500,002 in Ghnada. these should be a completely united enâ€" thusiasm to make the cause a complete success. Eveéry dollar will be wisely expended in the inâ€" terests of the soldiers, the sailors, ,the airmen. Fvery dollar given means a message of support, of affection of pride for those who serve. This is w campaign in which Canada must not fail. It is all for the boys, and personal preferences may well be PorgcEten in the broadger iss. Read the detailed list of services outlined elsewhere in this issue. It will be noted that all are giving most desirable service, most appreciated service, most necessary service. Let all join heartily together to show the lads who serve that from the home front comes the most complete support. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, one of the members of the cabinet of the part of a party attempting to rule Canada at present is credited by the daily newsâ€" papers with making the astounding statement that "there is no organized group in the Dominion of Canada that has done more since the fall of 1939 to delay the war effort in this country than certain sections of the press in Canada." The ® a U t e P t P B BP P MCBP al:â€" t M E: Elt lt M o-"”‘oo””oom.‘ ;The saving in expenses by this plan is evident, and there is also the undoubted fact that there has been a very popular demand for some proceâ€" dure of this sort to avoid the multiplicity of public appeals. On the other hand there are other good patriotic people who are not so sure that the adâ€" vantages of the united drive are as great as outâ€" lined. Similar methoas have been used in regard to local charities in some cities, but these "Comâ€" munity Chest" drives are by no means invariably successful, There are times when it is not posâ€" sible to raise as great an amount at one time as might be secured in several separate appeals. Then again, even in charities and patriotic causes peoâ€" ple have their own preferences. To some one particular cause has supreme appeal and the subâ€" scriber will give largely to this one cause and in lesser amount to others, or perhaps, he may not contribute at all to the causes that do not interest him. The problem in the matter may be summed up in this question:â€"Will all the subscribers give as much to the combined call as they would do to the six separate appeals? In the drive this month, every man, woman and chlid should bend every effort to see that the combined appeal is a success to the limit, ,because each of the six causes repreâ€" sented in the combined campaign is very worthy, very necessary,â€"indced, they are all imperative, if the people at home are to do their duty by the men of the army, the navy and the air force. 4 o 4A «oA A 4A A DA 4 A â€" 4 A L LA DL A ALPâ€"A A P P P â€" P ] Many will be delighted at the announcement thtt organzations for Canadian Auxiliary War Serâ€" viéeés have agreed to hold one united financia! drive this year, instead of six separate campaigns. ; ww D AP P P PP BP P PAE P C P Timmi_ns, Ont., 'I‘hursday, March 13th, 1941 k"‘wno“ooo"on"oo-ooo"ooooo'0 «it s Oe Abuance SHOULD NAME THE SECTION THE WAR SERVICES FUND PadE rowvn _ it 4P PAAA L LA LA DA â€"A L â€"A PAAA â€"AL LC L PPA % At the same time The Advance regretfully has to admit that there have been newspapers in Canada that have really "delayed Canada‘s war ecffort," though without any such intention. It is very ecvident that these are not the newspapers in the "section" referred to by Hon. Mr. Gardiner. The newspapers that really delayed Canada‘s war effort are those that failed to urge national sovernment to meet national emergencyâ€"those that more or less supported the government in months of shillyâ€"shallying and playing politics while freedom and decency were at stakeâ€"the newspapers who set party before country and beâ€" fore the one great cause of the day. Criticism by the newspapers has been responsible for speedâ€" ing up the war effort. If the members of the govâ€" ernment will only come to their senses, they will have reason to bless the critics who have kept spurring them to greater war effort., The country will owe the press a similar debt. HERE‘S A CASE B BP Aâ€"LD L AAGâ€"AA L AAâ€"LAAL LA LA AAL L AAL LAAA Aâ€"ALCâ€"A L LAAA P AL P L ts If the incident where a newspaper was charged with breach of the Defence of Canada Act through th use of a sentence in an editorial, the sentence being taken out of its context, is to develop into an orgy of hunting the Quisling by words speared from their context, even the members of parliaâ€" ment will have to feel their necks to see if their heads are still on. For example here is what one member of parliament is quoted as saying on the floor of the Alberta legislatureâ€"remember these words were used in the legislature at Edmonton : â€" A little consideration of what the newspapers have done, what they are doing, what they have attempted to do, will convince any reasonable man that instead of delaying, the newspapers have been largely responsible for the speeding up of Canada‘s war effort. Hon. Mr. Gardiner himself has been credited with telling people in the West at the last election that the part of a party govâ€" ernment was a "halfâ€"way" governmentâ€"one that would not do too much, and so offend some who might be lukewarm to the Empire and the cause, mnor on the other hand would the government do too little and so rouse the patriotic people of this country. "Moderate" help for the war was what he was quoted as promising. Most of the newsâ€" papers of Canada have made it plain that the people would not tolerate any such policyâ€"that it was adsolutely essential that at least the govâ€" ernment should pretend to be "all out" for the war. If this was "delaying the war effort," words have no meaning. In view of other statements recently made by members of the part of a party government, the intention is, of course, to suggest that The Globe and Mail, The Montreal Gazette, The Financial Post, and other truly patriotic newspapers are the ones to which reference is made. It is regrettable that Hon. Mr. Gardiner has not the courage to say so openly, ,so that the question could be forâ€" cibly thrust upon him:â€"In what way have these newspapers delayed Canada‘s war effort. Cerâ€" tainly, it is not in recruiting. The newspapers in Canada have done much more than the part of a party government ever attempted to do to enâ€" courage récruiting. Assuredly, it is not in referâ€" ence to war loans or war savings stamps. and cerâ€" tifilcates. All the newspmpers of Canada have given unlimited space and effort and talent to assisting the financing of the war. Equally, it was not in connection with the war services that add to the comfort, the safeéty and the welfare of the men of army, navy and air forceâ€"the Red Cross, the Legion, the Salvation Army, the K. of C. Huts and the other agencies for these worthy causes. How under the sun could the newspapers delay the making of munitions, of aircraft, or ships, or the collection of supplies? In the name of comâ€" mon sense and decency can anyone suggest any possible way in which newspapers could delay these war works, even if they wishedâ€"and cerâ€" tainly none of them wished anything of the sort. Surely, Hon. Mr. Gardiner would not suggest that members of the part of a party government themâ€" selves delayed effort along these lines because the newspapers were critical? Surely not! Yet mj what other way could they affect the progress of these war works? As a matter of fact, Hon. Mr.l Gardiner and his associates are slandering the! newspapers toâ€"day because the newspapers have| been so earnest and so insistent that the making of aircraft, munitions and ships and the transfer of supplies should be speeded up. | *‘*Not only can you see queer formations, hoodoos and ancient bones, but this area has the distincâ€" tion of possessing the best private collection of fossils to be found anywhere in Canada." Taken from its context, the words appear to be a breach of etiquette, a breach of the peace, a breach of the Defence of Canada Act, as they cerfainly would stir up disunity and worse. ‘The context, ,however, ,shows that the parliamentarian was not referring to the members of the house, or even the government of Alberta, or the people in general in the province. The context showed thi* he was simply discussing the Drumheller dinosaur park. The horrible thought occurs that if such words had been used at Ottawa on the foor of the House, ,some poor editors might have to go to jail for refusing to believe the explanation of the cantéxt. @ t BP TL DL D LA LA D 4A L DLPLL LAAA LA 4AAA L â€"AAP D LAAA AL t BP B D 4P 4 Does Hon. Mr. Gardiner pretend that others have been permitted to catry on unpatriotic work? The very viciousness with which honest, patriotic criâ€" ticism is being resented by the part of a party government toâ€"day is proof sufficiént that Hon, Mr. Gardiner and his associates would long ere this have grasped at even a shadow of legal subâ€" versiveness, had their been such in evidence.

WHAT OTHER REVENUES DO WAFP sSERVICE ORGANIZATIONS®S â€" REâ€" CEIVE? German troops are reported as now serving in parts of Italian Africaâ€"or rather what once was considered as Italian territory in Africa. The Briâ€" tish forces, however, were not able to overtake the German soldiers. The old Western story may be applicable. A Westerner was visiting the wife of a neighbour when the husband unexpectedly returned and without waiting for explanations grabbed his shot gun and took after the surprised Westerner. The Westerner was making an Italian race to his home, when he startled a couple of jack rabbits on the trail. As he stepped over the animals in their mad flight, he called out:â€"*"Get out of my way you beasts, and let somebody run as Can run.‘" The following questionâ€"aundâ€"answer digest deeveloped by the Ontario pubâ€" licity chairman Mr. J.

Through the kindness of the Chartâ€" ers iPublishing Co. of Brampton, The Advance has received a copy of a very inspiting and helpful little book, ‘Come Wind, Come Weather", by Daphne du Maurier, the noted author of the prizc winning novel Rebecca‘". Over 500,â€" CC copies of "Come Wind, Come Weaâ€" ther‘", have been sold in Britain, so it zgoes without saying that the book has something special and timely. Its story is the dramatic but simple, heart touching account of how toâ€"day men and womenâ€"and children are building for the future, as well as facing with courage and inner strength the needs of the day. Its tendency will be to help build morale and a spiirt of sacâ€" rifice in Canada, as it has undoubtedâ€" ly dons in Britain.

It will take all the loyal people of Canada to reach that end. There is no question about there being subversive eleâ€" ments in this country, and the branches of these subversive elements are showing a tendency to work together. To offset this all loyal people should work together. There should be no diviâ€" sion into partiesâ€"except the party for the full preésecution of the war and those not so disposed. The trouble at present is that the division is into parties, with even the parties subâ€"divided. "Put into your task whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips, and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail."

Miss du Maurier points out that the secrets of high morale lies in personal victory over every selfish â€" thought, every narrow prejudice that creeps stealthily into our hearts and. minds in times of trouble.
