In turning back the calendar on Remembrance Day, we return to years that were dark and anxious. For many they brought personal tragedies which will ever be repaired. These years provide the real meaning for Re- nembranee Day, and our thoughts are with those who did not survive them. Yet, as Mr. Haig remarked, we are in danger of doing the departed an injustice if we fail to re- member one remarkable thing. All who were in the services during war will recall that the life was characterized by a spirit of comradeship whieh was unique in its strength and understanding. Mr. Haig’s description of it as “camaraderie” was apt, for the word implies the good spirit that went with it. This relationship among service personne] was, and still the greatest stimulus to morale the armed forces have ever discovered, and not the least of its magie is that it grows in direct proportion to the stress and danger of the moment. Those who did not return shared this eamarad- is, erie with those who did. It is, in faet, in the reeollec- | tion of this spirit that they are best remembered by their comrades today. The reason is that life in combat is not made up of heroics. While ‘the youth whe is deeorated for bravery thus gets deserved recognition for his action, he, like his undecorated friends is better known in the service for the small things which show him to be a good kid who is in there doing his best. These small things form a comradeship which, under the pressures of service life, becomes strong that even death does not really break it. It was on this point that Mr. Haig made his re- minder. Although they are to be honored for their courage and final sacrifice, those in “Flander’s Field” must not be forgotten as men and women who could share the jokes, banter and friendship of the life in which they were. In keeping the ties of eamaraderie intact, the Canadian Legion has served their memory well. The Pulpit and Politics LTHOUGH it is a commendable quality any- where at anytime, the strong religious aspect the Social Credit movement as personified prin- cipally by Premier Ernest Manning, of Alberta, is bound at times to lead to publie misunderstanding. This is almost certain to be true of Premier Manning’s current tour of Quebec and Ontario where, by his own explanation, he is conducting a series of revival meetings which are in no way con- nected with polities. While the sportsmanlike atti- tude is to take him at his word, members of other parties may not feel quite so sporty at a time when there is talk of another federal election. Social Crediters having confessed their ambi- tions in the federal field, their movements across the country from now on will be highly suspect, no matter how innocent they appear to be or really are. In his own province Premier Manning, besides proving himself a eapable political leader, has es- tablished himself as a sincere advocate of religious principles whose role in this respect has taken him ‘ much beyond that of an average church-goer. He preaches his faith, forcefully and frequently. This evidence of strength in convictions is admirable. But when the Premier feels a compulsion to carry his religious gospel so far afield, it becomes diffieult to disconnect this motive from his politieal aspirations, : “After all, neither Mr. Manning’s brand of religion, nor his Social Credit party have a monop- oly on people who try to live up to the tenets of the Sermon on the Mount and who are sineerely con- verned With the greatest welfare of all Canadians,” the Financial Post observes, 2 » “How would Canadians generally react if Messrs. St. Laurent, Drew and Coldwell engaged themselves formally in various forms of religious revivalism, especially on the eve of an election?” - The answer is that they would feel the pulpit was being assigned the function of a political res- trum. As this is surely not Premier Manning’s inten- tion, he would be well-advised to avoid confusion on the point by holding off the revivalist eampaign, at least until after the election, so of oi | Philpott | 1939 Notes on Drew | r . | ANYBODY who writes for newspapers over a period of | some good, and many bad, years makes | guesses, But I pride myself on the a curacy of this prephecy I wrot for western Canadian papers October 1938, before Ge Drew had taken any real part in dolitics It header COI | DREW IS FIGHTING ARIS | TROCRAT—MADE TO ORDER | TYPE FOR TORY LEADERSHIP j I met George Drew on my first day at ve University of ‘ Toronto, the year before 1914 war.
