When the King got home in July, he wrote to Prime Minis- ter Mackenzie King to thank him for the Canadian welcome and said: “Before the summer is over you will, I hope, be able to set some real rest."

But hardly anybody was to at any real rest for the next six years. All through August the tension in Europe mounted as Hitler screamed new Canadians, like most people, anxiously scanned their newspapers a nd listened to their radios for some straw of hope that war would averted. There was none.
