It is apparent that they have done their part and that others should now be required to earry on for the balance of the war. The situâ€" _ ation, however, does not appear to be that simple _ or that honest. Instead highâ€"pressure methods â€"are being used to force the men who have served for years to volunteer again for service against _ Japan. The men are given a sort of Hobson‘s choice.

The: govâ€" ernment of Canada, having décided to send only a "token" army against the Japs, is having trouble. apparently in securing even that sample force. Instead of calling them from the conscripted list, the brave lads who volunteered and fought for five or more years are being highâ€"pressured. It was understood that the men who had served five years overseas would receive their honourable discharge after their thirty days of furlough exâ€" It would be thought that V B day would have brought an end to @All} this nonsense bl}fi 1t has not. One example was given »wee};; People in general had to do without potataes, but the report has it that a carload ofâ€"potatoes coming in here for one wholesale house was "frozen" for Monteith. Had it gone to the Veteran Guards at Monteith, noone would have said a word against it. But the report instead says that it was reâ€" stricted solely for the Nazi prisoners. The gallant Veteran Guards and the general loyal public may go without potatoes, but the Nazi prisoners are supplied and live on the fat of the land.

Reports now available as to the way the Huns used and abused the Allied prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war do not suggest that there was much effect in the power of good treatment of prisoners here. ~Just as the Germans stand condemned before the world for the harshâ€" ness, brutality and inhumanity with which they treated their prisoners, so in Canada at least the country is made a laughing stock by its silly pampering of the mentally defective enemy capâ€" tured. It is true that the enemy‘s treatinent of prisoners was deplorable. It is equally deplorâ€" able that Canada should have encouraged the Nazis in their stupid attitude towards life by treatâ€" ment so lenient as to be absurd. ‘No one asked: that any cruelty should be shown prisoners, but it is certain that it did not help win the war to. treat these muldermg pillaging fellows with special kindness and consideration, as was the The ‘tréatment of the prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war in‘ C‘an- ada has been an irritating public scandal since the prisort camps.â€"were first established. Comâ€" ment has been more or less‘stifled because of the war and the censorship, but it will be difficult to restrain general objection now that Canada has apparently dropped .out of serious participation in the war., The Nazi prisoners have been treated as if they . Were a favoured and deserving group, instead of theâ€"most arrogant, brutal and objecâ€" tionable fellows it would be possible to find. These prisoners have fared much better than the gallant Veteran Guards who have looked after them. They have had luxuries as well as necessities and comforts. When justifiable complaint has been made in the past in regard to the favouring of the Nazis, two excuses have been made. It was held that the luxuries and comforts enjoyed by. the prisoners were furnished through money sentl from Germany Th.e other excuses was that Canâ€" ada had to Be to the openhagen,â€"Authoritics announced , the alleged leader of a Naziâ€"conâ€" ed terrorist group confessed that to assassinate Field Marâ€" Bir Bernard L.

Japan is much closer to Canada than Germany, and it was more luck than anything else that prevented Canada from feeling the weight of Japanese savafery. Indeed, the damger is not altogether over yet. 9". GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER e W P KnC e y eR se T e s P Premier Mackenzie King was one of the few members of the Dominion Parliament losing the recent election through the soldiers‘ vote. There seems to be a special form of justice in this. The story told by the soldiers is that the only party that had full propaganda overseas was the Liberal party, yet the soldiers‘ vote was strongly C. C. F. according to reports. Apparently, this was the soldiers protest against the propaganda. One story is soldiers were generally instructed as 8 to; all thgmonderful things the Mackenzie King goverumentfi Had ‘done for them up to date and tbe"smll, ’e marvellous things that would rcome along for hem if the part of a part of a party were returned. bo ofiiee Of‘ course, nothing was said about the fact that the Mackenzie King governâ€" ment, to satisfy one section of the country, had left the men overseas, especially in Italy, without adequate reinforcements. Neither was anything said to the effect that the benefits in gratuities, pensions and many other matters had reaily orâ€" iginated with the Canadian Legion and that the Legion had to put up a strong battle, supported by all the informed public, to assure these adâ€" vantages for the servicemen. e "Sneeze," replied the _ Chinese proudly.
