Uh,

For A Leader!

Hon. Mr. llansoti hit the proverbial nail on Hie head in Parliament yesterday when he said that the crying need of this country is virile leadership. To s nation at war such leadership is absolutely essential. No one will contend that Mr. .\l;ickr~n:'ie liin: is capable of supplying it. Mr. King is essentially a politician ; a very astute one, with sutilclllillg amounting to genius for compromising and pussyfooting. His followers boast that he has retained power longer than any other Prime Min tcr in the Empire, which in itself is evidence of his highly developed tal- cnt for keeping his ear to the ground. In peace- time such virtues as Mr. biuig possesses have some value. At a time when the fate of Canada and the Etupire are in the balance, when red- bloodcd lcritlt-rdlip is tlCZllillldCll, .\Ir. King simp- ly fades out of lhc picture. _\lr. llauson ex- pressed only what the avcittge Canadian ltns been saying final ‘s pztst when he declared that drastic tar il (miter sacrifices will be welcomed if only l lcatlership is voticltsafed. The (lcmrtti/l it: 1'. n71 is itiikccrl for "that high and inspiring leadership ivltlclt a Churchill is giving in Britain anti a Roosevelt in the United States and which, setting the example, will fear- lessly press on, l-7"=li: the \\‘<'l_\' and guide our peo- ple along the 1. of tiltimatc victory."

It was put. _ to sec the outbursts of en-

thusiasm in Canada on the occasion of Mr. \\'illkie's visit. Here was a man-a defeated candidate for the Presidency of thc United

States—\vlzo fvisst-sscd that one thing-absolute convict l‘ in the cause in which Britain is fight- inq—vvli;clt lifxd him out of the rut of politics and tnaile him a symbol, not merely of the fight- ing spirit of his tin-rt country, but of ours. lfle hail gone to huglnncl and seen conditions there fur himsr-lf; he had shared the (langcrs of Bri- Unit's “from line", had hohuoblicd with dock l-‘tllnfcl’! and wrh Royalty, and had returned to arouse us and his follow’ countrymen to {In dan- gcrs of smug tclf-szitisfzictitun and delay. \Vho can put a price on the itispiration Mr. \\"illkie's vzsit ovcrscas tllﬁPllflﬁfCklf lliltat we know i; that in C znila lie rcccivcrl a welcome second only to that which was accorded Their Majes- ties the King and Queen.

A year ago, we had scarcely heard of Mr, “Ullkic; and we have been hearing about Mr. Mackenzie King for thirty years. Mr. King has made many trips to the Old Country; he has ate tended Empire Conference: and other gather- ings m the piping times of peace. We do not suggest that he is now afraid to go overseas; but the number of excuses he has been able to find f" "Pym!

He is also extremely desirous of main- mﬁmg the prestige of himself and the Liberal En)’; {"4 l" ha} wit", through a long career in partisan politics, to imagine that these ob. jectivcs are inseparable. The very suggestion that he should visit England caused him to dc- nounce opponents who were allegedly waiting to stab him m the back while he was absent.

A character ln one of Kiplingﬁ stories is dc- acribedu having "too much cosmos in his ego." M" K1085 ego Iimply does not allow him to lee the issues at stake in this titanic struggle under way, It is not his fault; he is built that wayxBut what a tragedy for Canada and the Empire that we must look for leadership and inspiration to this man, whose whole genius runs “mm” l" 55131"? 9f doing anything that might embarrass him politically.

Farm Problems And Cttawa

Last week in the House of Commons resolu- tions calling for rcform of the King Govern- ment's agricultural policy were voted down by Cvovemmcnt mclulicrs and supporters. The Gov- ernment, with its huge partisan majority, was easily able to llfl this; but at what expense. to the farmers of fills couuttv?

Anotln-r point undr- by the satire spcztker was with regard to the pitrliunicntltry CUllllllltlCC on

agriculture. In 1936 this committee sat to dis- cuss farm implement prices. In I937 a new, special committee dealt with the same subject. In 1938 the committee sat for some considerable time on a measure to amend the Canada Grain Act. It sat again in I939 to consider a further amendment to the Grain Act and to consider a bill dealing with stockyards, live stock and live stock products. These were peacetime problems which were by no means as serious as the prob- lcnts that have since arisen in agricultural industry owing to the war. Yet, since the last general election in March, I940, the Govern-

agriculture. except for purposes of organization and to elect a chairman The sixty members of the committecare presumably qualified for their work; yet they have been given nothing to do They should, Mr. Graydon argued, be given an opportunity not only of sitting, but of hearing men representative of agriculture throughout Canada, with a view to suggesting a plan to remedy many of the difficulties facing agricul- ture at the present time.

It is truly surprising, in view of Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King's admission that farming has become "a war casualty", to find such in- difference prevailing at Ottawa with regard to

bonuses paid to wheat growers for the purpose of limiting production, we have no national agricultural policy. And who is to blame?

An automobile contaniing two high-ranking German officers, stopped near the touin of Forncbu, the Norwegian Press Bureau relates.

At this the German growled with obvious displeasure but finally agreed to receive informa- tion in that language. Whereupon the woman gave her answer: “I don't know.”

King Edward VII, The Peacemaker, died this date r910. He was a famous world and especially continental traveller, making friends with all sorts and conditions of rulcrs and states- men. When Kaiser William assumed the Crown and dropped his pilot, Bismark, trouble seemed looming up between Britain and Germany, The Kaiser was Edward's nephew, and nothing dauntcd by the ominous indications, Uncle Ed- ward went to Berlin and quietly straightened matters out. That, unfortunately, was the first German appeasement. Then japan began to put rm airs because she licked Russia in the East, and Edward immediately after his coronation instigated the movement which lcd to the Anglo- lapaticse Alliance. Trouble loomed up with France because of German aggression in Africa, which scctncd tn have the tacit support of Bri- l.'tin_ The King went to France, smiled, shook hands, said nice things, with the result the Triple rutcnte Wllll France and Russia was cemented iii i904. lIis tact and diplomacy won the affec- ltron of lus own people and the respect of for- Icrgu tiauons. Smnmcd up King Edward was a timid srvirisman. highly cndoivul with contmon Scusc and savnir-fairc, and a conscientious and silcccssful rulcr.

The armies he has trained are manned by many types. speaklns many languages and having malty religions. were 1s the force 1n Syria-now almost within sound of Nazi planes-and hls armies 1n Tunfsla.

In North Aft-lea the general has bfghly-tralned and belligerent blacks from Senegal. as savage as the country 1n whlch they live. He has some units of the old Pbrelgn Legion, his Camel Corps and the Cherkesg Cavalry. Weygand has lfved with these men for 30 years and his personal experience of North Africa ls second to none. No one knows better than he how to make the desert serve‘ the needs of a. military force. how to make it a death trap for the inexperienced ln- vader.

Against the efficiency of these armies must be placed the power of Nazi “panzer” divisions which might be available 1n syrla and in Nozth Africa even as they have been 1n Libya. and the Luftwaffe.
