land faithful friend. \\'hcu the citnscqticttces of

their anti-defence tactics brought thc chickens home to roost, he rallied to the support of Mr. King in his endeavour to provide the means and iucn in order to carry on the ivar. When its war policy nearly wrecked the lliiiistry, it was .\Ir. Lapointe by voice and pen who succeeded in stilling the storm in his own province.

In later years, with the experience and weight of office, Mr. Lapointe altered his attitude con- siderably, broadening out, becoming more of a statesman and less of a provincial politician. In the crisis immediately preceding the war lic did yeoman service in lining up his province almost unanimously behind the Mother Country; and when later Premier Duplessis sought to make party capital by sowing (lisscnsiott, .\Ir. Lapoitite rose to the greatest height of uscliish patriotism and distinguished statesmanship by entering the provincial arena and calling upon his com- patriots to rally rotind the Union lack. It was a tremendous effort physically and itolitically. and it will ever rcdounil to his crcilit that he risked his political leadership in advocating a course contrary to what was considcrcd the con- sciisus of Quebec opinion llumauly' spealving. it is to .\Ir_ Lapointe we nwc the fact that Cau- ada presented a united front on etitcriiig the war, and in iuaintaitiing it when France ca- pitulated.

History deals more justly with the reputa- tions 0I public men than it is possible for con- temporary opinion to do. When all lhc farts and inner workings are disclosrd in years to come. it may be discovered that Mr. Lapoitite‘s death at a comparatively early age was due largely to the fact that he sacrificed himself oit the altar of patriotism, remaining in the hziiassttirnt of cabinet office in Canada's and the Empire's iu- terests when he could very well and honorably have exchanged his position for that of ease and dignity in the office of Chief Justice, which was at his disposal whenever his lcadcr considered he could part with him. Actions and motives are so often misconstrued and misunderstood.

The Need For Men“

Here ls the addzess recently giv- ‘en by Brigadier C. E, Connolly, D. S. 0., at. the recent. recruiting meeting:

While we all rmllzo that we are at war, It has taken l. long time for most PGOpIe to reallu the klnd of war In which we are engaged. or the savage unsczupulous poilcy of our chief enemy-Germany.

The German pollcy Is now well understood. To explain briefly why we need men, It ls necessary to understand the kind of war In which we are engaged, and 0o go back to the military conditions which ex-

starid our present-day problems of man-power and the provision of ivar equipment.

At. the commencement of tnls war the strength of the Permanent Force was approximately 4,000 all ranks. our non-permanent army. during I930, trained at local head- quarters 43241 all ranks, and at camps 30,648 all ranks. The average amount of training cmled out consisted of not more than eleven days at local headquarters, and" not. more than nine days at. cam-p. Courses were held at the Royal Schools of Instruction I. e. with (Penniment Force Units) at. which almost 3.000 candida-m tteridcd. The training of our army was not on an elaborate scale, nor was It. by any means a thorough pre- paration for war. Sufflclent funds were not available, noi- dId we pos- ses much In the way of modern equipment. The larger tactical training was mainly carried out by means of exercises without troops, at wlilch, of course, the practice of command and leadership were en- tlrely absent, as they must be In such academic forms o! ltralnfng. Actually, we possessed a. small em-

Instead nf nbiecllng-as hinted by Canada's Minister to Wﬂ§lll"‘!'i tnn—to official spreading In Fe‘ United Skates of Information (DIP, ccrnutg the Dominlows writ‘ work.» there is a growing demand for it by newspapers In wlclelv separated parts of the Renublic. For instance, lri far-away San Franclsco tne

Chronicfe has added its hall to| numerous others. "We wish our friends the Canadians.” It says.

"were not so gun-shy about propa- ganda and the idea behind It. They live right next door to us. They are a. purl. of America as much as we are. They speak the same language, think In Ilte same terms. follow the same philosophy and way of Ilfe. They are doing a tremendous war lob ably, courageously. sartely. But

we do not hear t-he story." Thel Sim Francisco paper admits that

the Canadian Government Issucsl "fairly comprehensive official re-l ports. But official reports, however impressive the facts behind them. make pretty dull reading." Official reports generally are flled away or pitched Into the waste basket. What news editors want. Is soma- tltlrig orlginitl; fresh news well written so that It may be presented In a. way to catch the eye of the reader-who cares little for dry-tus- dust offlclal records. The paper says Canadians are shy of the "propaganda" aspect of such Infor- mation; "and we, on our part, hesltate to pry Into the Intimate affalrs of our good neighbor oe- cause We do not want to be sus- pected of snooping," So that be- cause of these two attltudes llttie lIve and readable Canadian war news ls reaching the people of the Unlted States—who want It,

wlll be remembered that when Major-General John Duncan took a Dlvlslon to China some few years ago. that reserves had to be reciiled to the colours to bring the unIts of hIs force up to war estab- lishment. -

The same thing happened later when It became necessa y to dea- patch a. Dlvlslon to Palestine. The British, too, were woefully short or modern war equipment.

CONTRASTS

France-the country that was sup- posed to have the most. efficient army In the wortd—was continually upset with political strife, and con- sequently became an easy vIetIm for the penetration of tthose clever and cunning Germans who had been detailed to work on French national sabotage by means now well known to Us all."R.u.ssla—-tliatcountry of icleallsts, who once acceptlng an Idea will follow It to the bitter end the great. unknown quantity; Where as Germany-with ruthless efficiency, had for years been bulldlrig and tralnlng a mighty war machine.

Nor were the civlllans forgotten In German pre- war strategy. Many of these were trained f0; duties abroad, whfch were to prepare foreign countries that had been marked down for unheralded Invasion. Most of them dId their beastly work tco well.

MISGUIDANCE

Then again, some pre-war mlII- tary experts -—many of whom had B large following -- had been preiichlrtg that. future wars would be fought by small, fast-moving pro- fesslonal aimles Instead of engag- Ing the huge numbers employed In the wor‘d war of 1914. We now see how wlde of the mark these gentlemen were in presenting their considered opinions. Today mllllons of men are locked In deadly combat, and perhaps many more wlll be taklng part In t/he struggle before It Is brought to a. successful con-

conquered countries by Germany. which amplified its exlstlng vast stocks, together with taking over the war factories In occupied lands which enabled them to produce still more, while on the other hand the Brltlsh had lost practically all the field equipment and base sup- plies that. had been sent to ﬁance, tie could readily "understand the urgent call that came to Canada [or the production of war machines and supplies 0f all kinds.

To comply with this call for help meant the conversion of most of our factories, and the estab- Ilshment of many others. But. this was not. Ml. Many more men were required for this new rush of work. At the same time, our own ServIces-Navy, Army and Alr- commenced b0 expand. and this called for still more men. The ne- sult was that. agitation commen- ted for the greater employment of women In factories and other types of work for which they were suitable. In addition, the ordln- ary buslnem of the country must go on. Therefore, the need for men for industries. the service and business constitutes a real pmh- lern of man-powety

The army requires men now tn order that they may be trained to flt them to successfully meet and defeat. the enemy. Civilians are not transformed lnbo soldlers merely by changing Into battle- dress. A clvlllan dressed u a sol- iller ls no match for a trained German soldier, any more than a tailor taken from a bench and hoisted on r. horse wlth n. lance planed In his hand could be called a lancer. Probably unable to navi- gate the horse and finding the lance a. useless encumbrance.

Soldlers without tralnlng wlll not- defeat Hitler's army. DIscIp- llrie, physlcal well-being, marching. the skillful use of weapons and machfries have to be mastered. morale built up and esprft de corps fostered. In war It ls stIlI the human factor that we have to consider.

It. ls the man beltlnd the gun or In the machine that really counts, for without trained per- sonnel to operate these engines of war little would be gained.

We are now in the happy post-
