They seem to feel that we have been negligent in failing to overrun Germany and other nations with spies, and that publie duty has been shirked because every young man has not been pressed into the army and made to spend three years of his life learning the details of war.

This is the lesson for us who stay behind to learn—that with- out the bugle call-or the military parade we must “fall in” and do the hum-drum work of the daily task which by itself seems so in- significant but when taken col- lectively throughout the length and breadth of the country is ab- solutely necessary during this time of stress and strain for the maintenance of the very existence of our Empire. Canada especially will be look- ed to by the British government to supply a large part of the food products required not only by the British troops at the front, but also by the British people in the Mother Land. It will be a great loss to us if we eannot turn this rising flood of patriotism into an intensely practical channel, “Back to the land” is at’this time a truly patriotic ery, but there are in this province a large bedy of very un- patriotic people called land specu- laters who are holding the best portions of the uncultivated dis- tricts of Central and Northern British Columbia in order that they may selfishly profit’ by the unearned increment. In the Ne- chaco Valley I lately had to walk six miles back from the river through blocks of uncultivated lands held by speculators before of money could be made at this time than in paying men to elear land in our fertile valleys. This would give employment to many now out of work and help to in- crease the resources of the, km. pire. It is not too soon for hundreds of aon-producers to begin to plan how they can become producers. Even the holder of a vacant town lot could make it produee some- thing. In this part of the provinee the period of railway construction is practically over. The period of colonization should how begin in earnest. The curse of this region for the last seven years has been the “booming” of townsites. One blessing of the war has been the knocking of these townsites on the head. Surely we can now plainly see that the country back of these “paper” towns must first fill up before there can be a healthy growth. When the blow first fell it seemed to stun us all but now with a new spirit of practical pa triotism, sobered and steadied by the financial strain upon us, let us “fall in” and move forward to do our duty in developing our country and supporting our Em pire. “March on, tory, “We shall win the day.” Yours faithfully, F.
