The Railway‘ "Men Know

An cleventli-liour appeal is being made in the Liberal press to the railway’ men, which is surely adding i11st1lt to injury. Who are in It better position than these men to know how our railway shops and offices have been denuded of men and equipment in recent years? Where are the locomotives and tenders which used t’: I)‘; stripped clown here to their boilers and frames and ovcrhattlcd, the iire boxes which used to be constr cted, the steel tired wheels turned? Today, afte ten ycars of Liberal rule, only the most minor repairs are carried out in the Charlottetown shops. . For years it has been a common sight to sec a locomotive, with con- necting rods and side rods removed, en route in a freight train to Moncton to repairs- For vcars even the tools used In such repair opera- tions as still take place locally are no longer sharpened here, but sent to Moneton

All this work fell into the category of es- sential war industry, yet the machinery in our railway shops at home was allowed to continue in idleness. The same with our railway of- fices. ln the midst of the war the accounting department was removed from Charlottetown and transferred to an already overcrowded Moncton. So unsatisfactory did conditions be- come that a joint civic and provincial protest was forwartled to (lttawa on sept. 2, I942, but lilo! every other protest from this Province to the King Government, it got nowhere. Our railway men know. better tlgn anyone else, that the only way these conditions :an be remedied is to vote in the Bracken Government, pledged to give consideration to all our Island transporta- tion requirements.

Overseas Badges Needed

Political issues should not be allowed to distract attention from an even more important matter; that is, the mass movement homewards of our overseas service men and women wlllCll i‘ now under way, 50,000 veterans are due in the Dominion within the next three weeks; many have already arrived and every commun- ity in the Dominion has a warm welcome wait- ing for their own returning heroes.

It is easy to distinguish those in uniform who have seen overseas service in this war. The little silver maple leaf attached to the rib- hon of the active service decoration tells the story. Once these men and women are in civ- ilian clothes, however, they have no way o.‘ showing that they have been in a theatre of eonflict. This is something which should be attended to promptlv.

To meet a similar problem of the First World War a button was designed and auth- orized for ‘wear only by those who had served in a battle zone. At present there is only the discharge badge for this war, with the three maple leaves. showing that the wearer has been in uniform. but indicating nothing as to the ex- tent of his service. An overseas emblem which our veterans can wear with hOnest pride should be prepared immediately.

Three Libel Suits

Three libel actions have stemmed from Ont-_ ario's rccetit election campaign. Premier Drew announces he has" issued a writ claiming $l00,- 000 damages for libel against the TUYOHIO Dally Slar and its publisher Mr. Joseph Atkinson. The publication which is the basis of the Premier's action was an editorial statement claiming he had oprratcrl. r1 licstapr) “system sintilar to that of the Nazi Himmler." lt such a statement was made in an editorial as claimed, it assuredly does look libcllotis cnotigh.

If there is any inaccuracy in Mr. Drew's slate- ment, it is not easy to see how it could have resulted in damlie to Mr. Wismer on any very substantial scale. Meanwhile the coming in- vestigation into the jolliffe “Gestapo charges," should throw all the light on these Questions that the case demands. So far Mr. Jolliffe has produced exactly nothingto substantiate his “political police" allegation.

(Ottawa Journal)

Prime Minister Kin: sppke in Montreal on Saturday t. . _Mr. King, in this s ec in the province of Quebec, d not speak to French-Canadians as Canadians; d? not. treat them as grown-up ciizens of Canada with interests and responsibilities equal to those

the rest of us.

He spoke to them as if in this country they were a people apart», their sole interest in this‘ election rooted in rejudlces of race.

Canada s confronted by a; mul- tlpllclty of problems: Prosecution o the war against Japan; pre- parations for post-war trade; the rehabilitation of veterans; the maintenance of the national in- come; the danger ofbploat-war in- flation; the responsl ltles to be undertaken under a World Or- ganization; the relations of labor and industry; the needs of agri- culture; the ‘provision of jobs.

Mr. King, n Montreal, did not discuss these things. He gave ex- actly l0 words to Japan; he spoke not a single line about our world problems and responsibilities, nor a. word or line about world trade. or the problems of finance, or the danger of inflation, or the rehabil- itation of veterans, or the needs of farmers or of business, or the pro- vlslon ol’ jobs.

These things ln. Mr. King's thought don't. matter in Quebec- don't wln votes. What mattered were the old pregudices and sus- picions of the pas ; he would keep them alive and profit from them by telling the people that he, Mac- kenzie King, had been-
