By temperament and training : General McNaughton will have few pern among the allied leaders at ! the front. It Is believed In Ottawa, Scientist as Well as Soldier, General No llngoist or drum-beater, he brings to his present post a rare combination of scientific detach merit rrd fighting determination to carry out the lob at hand, whatever it may be. Essentially a realist, he has the faculty of reduilng the Immediate problem to concrete terms while never losing the perspective view. That quality makes It possible for him to be a practical army leader and skilful strategist and. at the same time realizing clearly what War is worker for ft permanent system of maintaining world peace. Trained as an engineer at McOill University, where he alro did postgraduate work In high voltage ral staff, he stressed the rapidly problem.

Tried Organizer I It was his breven administrative and organizing ability, coupled with a sound training in the fundamentals of science, which commended him for the presidency of the National Research Council. He occu pied that position from 1935 until his appointment to command the C.AJS.P. overseas early In October and will probably resume the coun cil presidency on his return. While chief of staff General McNaughton interested hlmselr particularly In-' the forestry, signals and engineer-', Ing branches or the rervlce. Working in the laboratory with Lieut.-! Col. Arthur Steele he devised a cathode ray direction-finder In 132. ! General McNaughton brought : ew life arid purpose to the re-1 search council. Its staff, selected i from the cream of the country's -dentists, was fired with a new zeal vorklng under his purposeful lead-! ershlp. Completely engrossed In develop Ing the tremendous possibilities of such a scientific organization, the general could often be encountered fighting out some Immediate puzzle, coat off, tie slackened, hair ruffled, only conscions of the problem before him. An indefatigable worker, he expected as much from those who , Worked with him. One of the finest possible tributes was recently paid him, even If unconsciously, by the head of one branch cf the .council. "He works hard and he expects us to work Just as hard." this man said. "But we don't mind because we feel that under him the council is going some place." General McNaughton who, significantly, was referred to as "the president And never as "general" around the council was responsible for considerable expansion and In tenslflcatlon of the council's activl ties. He directed personally the organization of a high voltage la boratory where some fine original t work was done and for expansion of aeronautics work. Opinions on Defence In his military as In his scientific Work General McNaughton viewed his particular field from the broad t viewpoint of the national Interest lAs chief of staff he had definite ; Ideas of what Canada's defence should be but they were definitely (forces conditioned to the heeds of the situation, not to personal am billon. Typical of this breadth of vision Is a speech he made here April 8, 1S29 I shortly after becoming chief of , staff. "The principle underlying a militia defence organization is that of a nucleus force round which the defence resources or the nation can be crystallized In emergency." the said then. "Theoretically, Its Jslze, relative to the manpower of the nation and the completeness of Its 1 organization, equipment and traln- Ing, depend Inversely on the time which may be considered to be safely available for mobilization." He considered it the duty 61 the army heads always to know def initely what could be done In a given lime, starting irom a given level of organization. A dominant role in that picture was occupied by a large body of highly-trained en gineers of varldus specialties, now a) j far cry from the days of Marlborr ough. who In 116 first separated , the artillery from the engineers. Oeneral McNaughton has ardent ly supported the Increasing of qualifications for engineer officers effected In recent years, although the question In Canada, on mobtliza- tlon. Is mainly one of organization .rather than training, because of Ithe number and variety of skilled ) engineers In a new country, and the Increasing tendency of army and civil engineering requirements to differ less and less. Whlie he never felt Canada should have a large peacetime army he never failed to stress the need of a small, highly trained force J which would provide the core and Instruction for a wartime mobilization of civilians. "The one thing which cannot be extemporized Is a plan that Is anv I good but if you have a good plan j quietly prepared and your officers think about it and understand It, it U usual to extemporize the material sources to carry it out," he once said. Mechanics and Air In the field of military strategy,! General McNaughton rates with the. best. Convincing evidence of this' is provided by comparing the recent writings of some of the more publicized International military! tacticians with a speech the gen- eral made at the Canadian National WVtlHHIwt Auntie ! IOH TTM....1 wA.Mw.K.v., yjxi nui 11 , rue years ago, outlining his own prophetic conception of the mechanics "Whot'l his crvising ronga?" "About 40 Swt Cops."

They will require the mobilization of the whole industrial re sources of the nation for their sup port. ger, rather than maintaining a large army at all times. That preparation is going on now. General McNaughton has frequently been honored for his works. Twice wounded and thrice mentioned in despatches in the First Great 'War, he holds decorations of COm- Alrcraft have become of the very panion of the Order of " the Bath; first lmportonce, not only In an luxlliary role as the eyes of a commander for reconnaissance, but alto as a primary means" of attack both on the forces lh the field and on the civil population as well In areas far distant from the zone of operations. And there Is a school of thought abroad which sees In the consequent destruction of cities and In the slaying of women and children a perfectly legitimate method Of attacking the will to resist of an enemy people." This was five years ago. As to his personal place In the war General McNaughton feels there's a Job to be done, and he had been delegated to do It, that's aU. "We must put Hitler and those who think like him out of power. Let's get done with it and get back 4o do the things some of us want to do," he says. In his case, he is anxious to resume his work with 'he researcr council. ai me same time ne warns iralnst Impatience on the part of the public.
