They believed the Japanese just as Mr. Chamberlain previously believed the Germans. Evidently they took too many chances. When it comes to ending the war there must be less trusting in the word of the enemy. We must take no chances on people who have shown that they have no respect for the truth. C.C.F. Slump . . . The C.C.F. group took a bad slump last week when the Vancouver civic vote was taken with the result that the Socialists found themselves out in the cold for the year. Politicians of all kinds were discarded by the electorate in favor of the non-partisan candidates. The tendency is non-political these days of crisis. Seen From New York .

The department which handles all business between Canadian and other governments expanded Its activities more than In any other recent year and began to take on some of the characteristics of the foreign affairs departments o! world powers with their specialized branches. Canadian representation abroad showed a marked tendency to shift from east to west. While contracts with European countries diminished due to war, partly lor the same reason contacts with American and Trans-Pacific states-became more intimate, except in the case of Japan. Loss of Skeleton The death of Dr. O. D. Skelton. under-secretary of state for external affairs removed the man who had guided the department through the years in which Canada developed its system of diplomatic representation in foreign and Empire capitals and gathered into the department a staff of brilliant graduates of Canadian universities. The government selected Nor man Robertson as Dr. Skelton's successor and under Mr. Robertson a degree of division of responsibility within the staff was work-led out.
