DAILY EDITION 'The Home of Good Shoes EDITORIAL Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations Expects Revival WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2-3, 1941 General Charles DeGaulle has made the position of the Free French very clear. He expects that following the terrible crisis through which France is passing a tremendous revival will emerge for the French nation. Outlining the war aims recently he stated them briefly as follows: 1. "Make war. . . . give the greatest possible extension and the. greatest possible power to the French effort in the conflict; 2. "Let the people speak for themselves as sbon as events once more allow them to make known freely what they want ; 3. '"Bring about conditions in the postwar France which wni-peiiiti'''i- and act in dignity and security.' " Suez Canal Importance . . . Just now when fighting is going on in the neighbor hood of Egypt it is very important to understand some- to allow free passage bf the larger craft but any delays have been very slight. The canal is owned by a private company representing French, British; Egyptian and the Dutch. For year-Turkey acted as guarantor for the company but of late Britain has seen that the tanal has been open to all countries oh etpial terms. The canal is vital as a commercial lane, and ho matter how the war ends, will continue tb be a very busy road, for Europe will keep on trading with Asia., ' Boats from Norway. Sweden. Germany, the Netherlands. England, France, Italy and Greece' will Continue to strcair through thip ditch, making an onlooker think of a caravan of stage Ships moving through a desert. Politically, control of the Suez Canal is of extreme importance for the way in which men and women will live in the future, says a writer in the Christian Science Monitor. If Great Britain maintains its hold upon it. it' will be able to preserve its empire and a" Sbrt bf balanced j security will continue in the world. If Britain loses it, the empire might decline to ah inferior position, much or all of Africa might pass intb Nazi hdnds and serve the Reich as a base for striking eastward and westward.! seizure bt the canal along with Egypt; Arabia, and the rest of the Middle East would create a completely new world situation fbr America. During the 72 years that have elapsed since the canal was opened, the world has changed greatly. It has made an unprecedented advance toward freedom, democracy, and international co-operiition. During this period, practically all adult hien of the western world won the franchise, and most women4alsQ. Jan$t m6deniized. China became a republic; and the machine age moved to its aDbgee. During mbst of that time mbst bf the wbrld lived in peace, imperial denomination gave way to international understanding, pirating was superseded by freedom of the seas, and all nations began to co-operate at Geneva. The ships of dll nations, passing unhindered f r 0 m ali lands through Suez to all lands, were heralds of a new-way of living. The cbntinuatbn bf that way depends bn future cbntrd bf the Suez and of its sister canal at Panama. (Continued irom Pa?t One fa on Canada's entry into the Secon J, Great War. Leaving to ihe prim r minister and others the taik c' discussing issues at stake in ith: jS war. he set out to show two m j things that Canada coiiM not re-$5; main neutral, and could not have .conscription. ; Rather than se conscription in tf j Canada he declared that he and ; all the Quebec ministers would leave the cabinet. Neutrality would Jmean civil war becaus? Canadian.-Si would not stand for the bbllga-jfc I tions of neutrality, obligations tr j 'intern British soldiers, to stop en- listment in British foices. Mr. La-3!pointe said. 2 j He ended by quoting Queen $1 j Elizabeth's words as she left Can-jada after the royal tour of 1939: "Que bieu Benisse Canada." That jr:was a sentimental touch that r brought tears to the eyes of vet-j eran parliamentarians who had just listen t3 what might have iwbeen a coldly logical oration. "Yej, God bless Canada." he said. "God save Canadi. God "isave Canada's honor, Canada - conscience. God give Canadians the light which will indicate to them where their duty lies in this hour of trial so that our children and our .children's children may inherit a land where freedom and peace shall prevail, where our social, political and religious institutions may be secure and from which the tyrannical doctrines of naziism and communism are forever ' banished. Yes, God bless Canada. God bless our Queen. God bless our King." M.P. in 1901 Although Mr. Lapointe in 1904 entered the House of Commons with but a slight knowledge of the English language, he became in time one of the ablest and most eloquent of speake'rs in English as well as in French. His accent never lost its unmistakable French influence but whether expoundlng- anice point of constitutional law in the House of Commons or mixing in the rough and tumble de bate of . election campaigns he was both lucid and entertaining. . Mr?: Lapointe was born on a firm at St. Hoi, Temiscouata county, Quebec, Oct. 6, 1873,. "and i was educated at Rimouski College and Laval University. He was called to the bar and began his practice in the county town of Riviere du Loup. In 1904 he was Jung about the importance of the Suez Canal.
