WASHINGTON. April 25 -(CP) -<A misconception. if not an abys- mal ignorance of Canada's wor ef- fort, exists in the United States. The average American has no idea of the extent and divirsity of Can- adzfs contribution to the fight for freedom, freedom on this cont-in- cnt as well as Europe.

War." which has been published in the United States by Farrar and Rinehrirt. Inc. It is the joint work of five Canadian iicwspapcrnrcn, Grant Dexter. Bruce Hutchinson. George V. Fer- guson, B. T. Richardson. Mr. Dafoe and Dr. Percy Corbett of McGiil University.

It is a storehouse of facts and figures relating to Canada's war ef- fort presented in a way to appeal to American readers. Indeed, the average Canadian will find in it many things he never knew about his own country's war eifozt or knew only in a sketchy sort of way. iillliélg! that should (ill him with pr e

For Information

A preface supplied by Mr. Defoe says the book was written "primar- ily to meet what is known to be a desire on tho part of many citizens of the United States for informa- tion, comprehensive 511d up-to-date. about the participation by Canada, nnd American democracy, in the war in" defence of the democratic

as joint protector with the Unit- cd states of the integrity and iri- dcpcndence of the North American continent against tho designs of totalitarian powers."

The book starts with the Ogden:- burg meeting in August. 1940. of Prime Minister Mackenzie King and President Roosevelt, when the Can- adlan-Axucan Joint Defence A- greement was sighed, and shows, in the light of that historic pronounce- ment, that Canada can carry lzor own weight in any war involving tho defence oi’ the North Ameri- can continent. It goes further than that: It shows that: Canada is mak- ing a tremendous contribution. in blood, treasure and sweat, to ill defence of the political and socitil principles that have made North

Many rea- sons are suggested for the spon- taneous response of tho Canadian people to the German attack on freedom. democracy and everything for which Canada stood, and it sums up Canada's present attitude

In concluding this sketch we ic- cnil to mind some of the oulstand- mg qiizikties of our deported friend. It. can truly be said thét life to lihn had a meaning and purpose beyond the mere making of n living and the enjoyment of material com- forts. His alert and interested mind combined with a genial. friendly disposition nnd keen sense of hu- mour contributed to his Wide popu- lority. He had a life-long zest for good reading and intclldgent discus. sion and to the very end of life he retained an interest in current ev- ents of the world and in the prob- lems and difficulties that confront mankind.

His death has cast a deep gloom of scdness in the home where he vrris loved s0 well and his memory will ‘be cherished not only by hi; relatives and kindred but by the 11""; remnant of a. host. of friends.
