Adolf‘ Hitler bullt up his great fo.ce more than ailytlung else 0n the political weakness of his ad- versaries He forged his arms while the democracies exhausted their energies 1n ititestftt-e quarrels and permitted abonmiable abuses of true lberty. Here we axe witness of L00 11inch "playing politics.“ ll. creates a. smoke screen that hides the realities. There is m0 tituch chicanefy 1n our war legislation and not enough of that brutal and cour- ageous frankness which gives the British Prime Minister, Winstmt Chuzchill, an almost. superhuman influence over the people of Great Britain. We still await the leader who knows how to speak to the people in all frankness. - Lrlllus- nratlon Nouvelle tafontreal)

Prudence and jusﬂco command all Canadians to reserve for the moment their Judgment. on the grave events that are lmppctung 1n Europe.

We can only hope for one thing-that Providence will permit the decision w serve at once the cause of Great Britain and France. -Le Canada rafontreal).

Strange Case Of Mr. Leslie Roberts

TOO EVASIVI

The following am taken from the debates of the Senate, Ottawa,

June 26, 1940: I POSITION or MR. LEN-II ROBERTS INQUmY

Hon. Mfr. HAIG Inqulned of the Government:

1. Is Leslie Roberta saahrfed mI-n In the Government. service?

2. If so, In what service, and on what salary, and what. ll hfa title?

3. If the answer to No. 1 ls In the affirmatlve, when dld he enter vhe service, and In what. capacity, and rm what salary.

Ho nld: Konotuablo members, before the honourable gentleman replies to my inquiry, I ma any, In order to give hlm some nfonna- non, that I have In my hand a postcard bearing on one side a ple- ture of a convoy, and on the other side the following text:

Convoy: D0111 Advertise

Where Is the deep-water harbour from which eastbound convoys dls- patch to Europe? How do antl- submarine nets seal its entrance? How do destroyers, patrol bom . tmwk-rs. long-range guns protect sea lanes? What is Canada's part in convoylng ships successfully across the Atlantic?

Leslie Roberts, Special Assistant to the Minister of Defence. un- folds a factual story of convoy pa- trol and the part played by Qan- ndian seamen and slum.

Five Cents at. All News-Standa- Get Your Copy To-Day The Satur- day Evening Post.

This postcard was dropped Into all the letterboxes of the city of’ Halifax.

Hun. Mr. DANDURAND: I have not been able b0 follow the reading of the postal card. which might. be of interest If my honourable friend would send It to me. I am simply faced with his question. To ques- ficn No. 1 the answer ls "No." This is also the answer to the sec- ond and third questions.

Right Hon. Mr. MEIGI-IEN: This tnnn must. be sailing under false colours.

H011. Mr. DANDURAND: Maybe so, but if my right honourable friend will look at the lnqufry ho will see that It is a very efmple one. It is:

Is Leslie Roberts a. salaried man 1n the Government ServIce?

My answer ls “No."

Hon. Mr. MEIGHEN: I: he working for nothing?

Hon. Mr. DANDURAND: That L! another question.

Some Hon. SENATORS. Oh, oh.

Hon. C. P. BEAUBIEN: Or has he jst left. the employ of the Government

Han. Mr. DANDURAND: That ls still another question.

Right Hon. Mr. MEIGI-IEN: He tnay be on daily pay, but. I do not. think he ls working for nothing. I-Iv 1s settling under the colours of the Special Assistant. to the Min- istrv of Defence, and Is writing things that no man should be al- lowed to write.

Hon. Mr. DANDURAND: I would draw the attention of my riqhl- honourable friend to the question as it appears. To-day, on the 26th of June, the answer 1s "No", and I think It. would have been the same on the 1st of June. If the question were, “Is Leslie Rnacrts employed In the Govern- ment servfce?" the answer would b1‘ "l\':)."

Some Hon. SENATORS: Oh, oh. Later, same day:-

____._;_____ : ‘ . At Publtc hapense (Ottawa Journal)

Ilbr a long time the Post; Office of Canada has accepted circulars for delivery to the impersonal “Hotseholder” at t-he very low rate of one-half cent each up m the weight. of one ounce. It. was a spe- cial rate Intended to encourage , "business". Now It has been discov- ered by the Department that this distribution has been carried out at a loss. Its statement says:

"It. has been ascertained that. the revenue derived from circulars mall- , ed for local distribution to hotuse- 5 holders at the ltalf-oent rate is not » sufficient. to take care of the cast l of handling and the extra clerical. work Involved In making the nec- essary speclal arrangements for 1 these mailings." ‘

Moreover, said an official of the Department. this special mailing privilege ‘was "not :1 successful ven- ture from the standpoint of business men" who took advantage of It. What. this all means Is that the Post’. Office for years has handled these circulars at. a loss, tha the public treasury has made up the difference. In effect we ltave itafd a bonus to those who used postal facllltles for “I-Iouscholder" circu- lars-and even so It. was not worth their while.

The householder was subjected to annoyance by a flood of utuvant- ed printed nmltvr which cluttered his mall box and tnade Important. letters liable to loss. And to com- plete the picture he had to help pay the oost. of delivering It to hItnl

Nor ls that. all Pastmen were turned Into pack-horses, lugging around this under-cost. material.

and delIvet-y of legitimate mails sometimes must; have been delayed. After July 31 such clrcttlars must pay the regular rate of one cent. It Is a change too long delayed. It might have gone further: Circulars addressed to “Householdeﬂ should be banned altogether ns a general nuisance.
