Cl vome one may say:â€""Better win the war beâ€" fore talking imbout preparing for peace!" If the matter is left until then it will be too late. Everyâ€" body will admit now that this country was deâ€" plorably unprepared for the war. Indeed, it isn‘t ready yeff? In Canada, there will be no excuse whatever, if the people are not prepared for the problems of peace. There is the lesson of the last war as one guide. There is the wisdom of the exâ€" perience, the study and the ability of the men of the Legion as another guide. It is no answer to‘ say that the government is so busy about war matters that it:.can give no time for preparations for the days of peace. The pitiful truth is that Canada‘s war effort is taking only a very small part of the time and attention of the Canadian people. It is being run by only a part of a part of a party. To say that there is not time for preâ€" paring for the readjustments that will be absoluteâ€" ly necessary after the war is won, is to emphasize the need of a National Government with everybody working for Canada and the Empire. . With a Naâ€" tional Government at work on the war effort and with the abijlity and resources and interest of all thus lined up there would be time and effort and resource enough not only to speed the war effort but also to plan that industry, business and labour, and particularly the returned men, will have a fair chance for better living after the victory comes. L ds number of the returned men from the present war could well be retained as Canada‘s army, thus provi@ing not only for Canada‘s need, but also offering useful and needed employment for many of the veterans. i d t 0 ie 0 oo 0 e n C Oy 6 5 . > PR We# W tw The Legion goes so far along this line as to say that each soldier as he steps out of the army should walk into a position in civilâ€"life, or at the very worst into some sort of training that would fit him for some special place in life. No one who gives the matter any honest thought will ‘doubt but that the Legion has the right idea all along ‘the line. The members of the Legion knowâ€"some of them by the bitterest of experienceâ€"how woeâ€" ‘ fully unprepared the government was to handle the demobilization of men in the last war. It is true that all the men were desperately anxious to get homeâ€"so anxjous that they did not consider their own interests in all cases, accepting disâ€" charges on terms that miade them the losers. There is no doubt but that conditions will be even worse after the present war. There will be the same anxiety to return to civil lifeâ€"and civil life promises to be more complicated after the present war than it has ever been before. Only a few people will be able to make a good living out of | the present war. There are some members of| parliament who have voiced the idea that no one â€"â€"no matter what his position at homeâ€"should make more than the soldier in the ranks. is the tendency of the day.

On one day Mr. and Mits. C.

In any event the tax is simply addingl insult to injury. It is the injury itselfâ€"the injusâ€" ticeâ€"that should be attacked. There should be free transportation for soldiers on leave, and until that is granted the governiment shows that it not only has no consideration for the soldier, but also does not give a hoot for the expressed opinion of the people. - GRAVEL AND SAND s e t m T ds V B LV a part of a part of a party government does will strive their best and give their best, despite the fact that the government handshackles itself.

This is most commendâ€" able, and the government deserves nothing but credit for seeking to utilize every lawful means to make the Victory Loan Campaign a success. Had there been: more parades and bands and displays the general war effort would have been more sucâ€" cessful and less difficult than it has been. â€" As a. matter of fact, the people have responded in overâ€" whelming way to every straight appeal made by i'the government. Unfortunately, however, the government has insisted upon handicapping itself at every move. A part of a part of a party governâ€" ment can not make a National appeal. A truly National appeal in such a case can come only from a National Government. If the government would drop its partisanship and show i|tself in any measâ€" ure a Canadian National Administration it would make its own way easier and speedier. The Vir.

Not only is American oil going to Japan from United States ports, but Britishâ€"Amerâ€" of# companies in the Dutch East Indies are alleged to have renewed sales contracts with Japan whereby oil supplies from the Netherlands East Indies are actually increased from 494,000 to 1,860â€" 000 tons year, with British and United States companies acting as importing agents. Not only has Japan played the Hun role of aggressor and wanton murderer in regard to China, but the oil that British and. American companies are thus supplying to Japan may be used before long against both the United States and Britain in the Pacific. If not for shame‘s sake, at least for the safety of Britain and the United States it would seem that some method ‘should be devised to prevent British and American interests from supplying the enemy with a vital war need at this time. war should be going from Texas to one of the‘ spokes of the Axis.
