THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARQIAN

0111111 LETTER 1

I 1 i 1 By Robert. L. Cotton

(Special to the Guardian)

Ottawa. Thursday afternoon, Jan. ZZ1ld.—'Il1€1‘8 was more style about the opening of the House today than about the closing yesterday. And mnnv more member-s of Parliament and Senators were tn attend . But. ti. was by no mans the color- ful ceremony of peace times-no Ruard of honor. no gorgeous dresses. not nearly as much ituld braid.

Ilia Earl of Athlone read the o1:- enlntl speech from the throne much more clearly than the Deputy Gov- ernor General read the closlnli speech yesterday. And Princess Alloe who was with hlm looked just as charming and as dainty as could be. Of course the galleries were full. The Senate galleries only hold a few hundred people altogether. No cue may stand tn the aisles and ad- mission ls altogether by card. Many izot. ln today who at a. peace time openlnz wouldn't have a. chance.

As 1 suggested yesterday 1t be- came even more apparent this af- ternoon that the man Dower prob- lem ls the issue of the day; and will be the subject of most; discussion this session.

The Speech from the ‘I'm-one for- mally announced the Government's decision to hold a plebiscite seeking permission from the people for the Prime Minister to change his mtnd. in changing circumstances, To many Canadians 1t, will seem an altogether foolish proceeding. It there be good reason. whv shouldn't the Prime Minister change his mlncl? But: ap- parcntly the Prime Minister seems to think himself bound by assuran- ces publicly made under circu-r- stances now acknowledged to be dif- teient.

Mr. Hanson doesn't seem to be quite so meticulous as Mr. Kin - perhaps not so anxious about poll 1- cal prospects. Yesterday on the spur of the moment, after Mr. Ralston had finished reading his statement about the sending of the Canadian force to Hong Kong. he accepted the statement most graciously and for his part was apparently going to let that matter drop. But over- night. he had, 1t seemed, been read- ing the statement over again and 11c wasn't nearly so ivell pleased 1111.11 1t today-tn fact he was so much otherwise mat just, before the House adjourned he took the appar- tunlty to read a prepared statement demanding that a special commlfee of the House be set up to make full enquirv into all the circumstances connected with the formation and despatch of the Hort Kong force. and the subsequent espatch tn a much slower steamer of transport and fighting equl merit-the exact; location of which litter 1.1 now un- known, 1t having failed to reach the force 1n time to be of use. Mr. King speaking for the Government read- ily granted the request. 1n fact. said he welcomed the enquiry. Much more will therefore be heard about ‘Canada's Hang Kong expeditionary

orce.

Several years have passed by since I have spent any time 1n Ot- tawa and I was more than agree- ably surprised with the change 1n the appearance of the D1809 upon coming out. the maln doors of Un- lon Station. Plans for the demolition of several blocks of buildings were in progress when I was here last and the site was being prepared for Catiaoas national war memorial. It wasn't 1on8 afterwards that tlze work was completed and the mag- nilloent. memorial unveiled by tne K1118. And what a tramsfotmatlcn has been made. Ottawa 1s getting to be a creditable show place -a ciipltal lii which Canadians may feel just pride.

A number of handsome publicly owned structures have been built to accommodate government depart- ments. Doubtless they have iwcoun - ed for a lot of public funds and take plenty more to maintain. but. they do look well. The great. expan- sion of public services l5 also show-n bv the crowds of people on the streets. 1n the eating places and picture houses, And in audition to the new and beautiful permanent office buildings the acres upon acres to the south of Wellington Street. which have been covered with tem- porary wooden structures of two. three and four stories to accommo-

date the so rapldLv expanding c1v11 to

servloe 1s amazing. Ottawa's popu- latlon ls growing by leaps and bounds. and the place ls prosperlng. Havent not out. b0 the outskirts yet but thc-re must. assuredly be many new houses going up too. Expansion of government. service surely costs money. Canada. has been doing plenty of 1t tn recent years, apart entirely from the prosecution o-f the war and 1t ls to is going to work out i111 rlght.

To the complaint that the city WO111U. have obtained $40,000 more this year 1f left to its own resources, the Trancrtpt replies. somewhat tn the language of the lamented Izaak Walton: “Pray, take names, no man can lose what. he never had."

THE PLEBISCITE FIASCO

Sim-Advices from Ottawa ladl- oiite the very strong probability that our Prime Minister-leader of the Liberal Party acid elected head o1 our Government when this war was a "pmney" war and "men are not. needed" (but. thousands of Liberal CBmPIlEH dollars were spent 1n a grandiose ster show- ing all classes of Gena ans march- ing to Victory behind his "Great uadershtp")—t.s gclng to have a conscription referendum. The Prime Minister has had privileges which have been denied to all o! us-he has had days o! conversa- tions and consultations with Churchill and Roosevelt who have told him "We are 1n s. tough war for survtv-a1"-he has first hand knowledge of their thoughts, plans and determinations. We only

110w what the Censor wants us to know-that the Government o! Great Britain, o! which Churchill is the leader, 1.1 conscrfptlng all men and women-that. the Gov- ernment of the U.S.A.. of which Roosevelt ls the leader, will draft. it necessary more than ten million men-that. the Governments c»! New Zealand and Australia have zone "all out" 1n every way-that Roose- velt's pre-electlon assurances were far, far different than his "We shall send our armed forces wherever it may be necessary to meet the en- emy." All Canadians of good line- age and deaphconoern-partlcularly veterans of e last war and par- ents whose sons have volunteered l; this war-quite rightly hoped their Prime Minister, after ms talks with the two Great. Leaders, and recent events, would have the courage and desire to ement. an "n11 out" war plan an dilue- sud election propaganda designed to satisfy one or more sections or the country.

The Prim-e Minister has always been a. great sttckler for rule by Parliament. and has, on ccoaslon. staked his u-lltlcal existence 0n this nrimipe. Now. with the world tn flunes and our civilization in Jeopardy, 11c would, apparently, about race and would say "A1 though I am better informed tn re- spect to war needs than any other Canadian. I cannot decide what to do about conscription and um go-

ask the less lnifonned people of Canada to decide." Can any- thl be more ridiculous? The Parlament. of Canada deglared war on Germany, the Prune Min- ister, without benefit of Parlia- ment declared war on Japan, the Parliament authorizes the spend- "18 "I 1111111011: of dollars. Orders- lri-Councll regulate our d-ally lives, 11nd our Business. but, the Prime Minister has not. the courage or desire to institute conscription. On that. issue he would scrap repre- sentative and responsible Govern- ment and notify Hitler. who, at present. needs 5:016 encourage- merit. that Canada is not. 100 per cent ln favor of an "all out" effort to smash him. In fact. a referen- dum might. lid/vise Hitler that n majority-and certainly a percenta¢e—do not want w

ut prefer to keep their Jobs m. 800d pay. Would the military ell- glble men, their sweethearts, their parents, vote to have them put into uni-forms at. $1.30 per day?
