"The Home of Good Shoes" i TUESDAY. FEB. 24, JIM 2, Want Japanese Moved at Once ... The Victoria city council has become so worked up over the slow speed of the "Move the Japs" scheme that it has asked Ottawa to remove from the cabinet Hon. Ian McKenzie who is blamed for the delays. We take the view that if the people are to be moved it should be done at once. The danger is just as great today as it will be in April. The war is not being delayed until April. It is going on just now. Why wait? It seems evident that this is the opinion of a great majority of the people. The Japanese did not give the Americans several weeks to think about it before destroying ships and crew at Pearl Harbor. We have been told that most of the Japanese will be loyal to Canada as long as the Japanese do not invade this province. .That is hardly enough. Will they remain loyal even though troops are landed here? The general opinion is that they will not. Probably Victoria city council is right, not in asking for Mackenzie's resignation but in asking that immediate action be taken in regard to the removal from the danger zone of people who are not Canadians and never will be. Effect of Newspaper Suggestion . . . The opinion seems to be prevalent that most of the fighting in this war is being done by other than residents of the British Isles. That probably comes from overemphasis on the work of the other part of the empire. Some days ago this was mentioned in a speech from London where it was pointed out that of all casualties so far over seventy percent had been from British regiments. The Australians did splendid work in North Africa and so did the Indian regiments. For this the British wished to make it clear that they were thankful but there was no suggestion that either of these people took a more prominent part or were more fully represented than those from the British Isles. Of course the British regiments were there. We all know that so why mention it? Of course they fought well. They always do. "Why mention it? It would not be news, the newspapermen would say. Whispering Campaigns . . . In his speech Monday, President Roosevelt spoke of the harm done by whispering campaigns. All sorts of exaggerations are made when' news is held back. Yet it must sometimes be held back for strategical purposes. We have whispering campaigns sometimes even in Prince Rupert. It is one way in which the Nazis or the Japs can get in effective work. If we refuse to pass on reports which might be detrimental to the British cause we are defeating this form of enemy propaganda. This even enters into the selling of Victory Bonds. People who do not wish to buy are glad to find any flimsy excuse for not doing it. Yet it is difficult to find any but a flimsy excuse for not buying a few bonds. Divide and Conquer . . . One of the oldest Nazi tricks rs to try to cause division among the enemy. It is possible that Premier Mitchell Hepburn did not realize that he was a tool of the enemy when he accused the American navy of going into hiding recently. Even if it had been true was no reason why it should have been said. Some unpleasant truths might best be left unsaid at a time like this but we do not believe and most people do not believe that what Hepburn said was true. For the time being Hepburn was a fifth columnist. He was helping to carry out the Nazi policy of "divide and conquer."

To clear "1 have nothing to offer but blood, toil', WUf tears and sweat" y, WINSTON aiUKCJUU, By PATRICIA CONNELLY . OTTAWA, Feb. 25: O Members In parliament take their letter- Commons session to help them with their correspondence. "We are busy all the time." reports Joseph H. Smith, chief of the members' stenographers branch for 29 years. The girls get $5 a day. Any day during a parliamen tary session you can see these girls in stenographers' pool in the basement or the centre block of the parliament buildings pounding away at their typewriters, getting out the letters dictated by mem bers. Brunettes, red heads, blonds and the odd grey-head, they take care of the letters of aDoroxi- mately 225 members. Cabinet min isters have their own secretaries. Five large rooms wRh desks in rows and against the walls provide accommodation for the girls at their work. They are chosen with efficiency as a primary requisite and come from all parts of Canada to work only during the session. The stenographers' pool staff is appointed by the clerk of the House, Dr. Arthur Beauchesne and approved by the Speaker of the House, J. A. Olen. sear After lear lot of applications for employment on hand but mout eirls come back year alter year. The stenographers' chief ex plained that the work was hand led on the "allotment and pool system. "We allot one stenographer to about two members," he said. "If either of the members gives a larger-than-usual amount bf dictation we draw from the pool to take care of the needs of the stenographer's other member. "When a member wants his stenographer he telephones to the desk clerks In the central pool office and the stenographer then Is notified. After she takes the dictation In the members's office the stenographer returns to the pool to transcribe her notes." Less than 10 stenographers were employed In the House of Commons up to 1911 when a staff of 55 was taken on as the first stenographer pool. Prior to the time members did their own letter writing at their desks in the Commons chamber. In 1021 the staff was enlarged to 100 and It has varied between 100 and 130.

When Mr. Churchill took over the wheel of state, he offered the British people, if they were to win through to victory, only "blood, toil, tears and sweat." Today, that is still the alternative before us all sacrifice . . .- or slavery. Young men you know arc giving up their jobs . . . their homes . . . perhaps iheir lives, for vktory. What are YOU sacrificing? You TYPISTS ARE BUSY It Takes 120 of Them to Handle The Job Which Is Seasonal One will share tn the benefits. Are you sharing in the s-uritkes? There must be some luxury, some ordinary comfort you can go without so that you may IrnJ nmt to assure and hasten final victory. Every dollar counts. The least we can do those of us who are not asked to offer our lives is to buy MORE Victory Loan than wc THINK, wc tan afford.
