The Canadian government, through a series of or-ders-in-council to be promulgated within the next few wppks. nlans to rrive effect to the most drastic measures the situation.- vot imnnsprl for the marshallihrr of Canadian manoowerito do. in a total war effort. The program is extensive and comprehensive. The government has intimated its intention of assuming widespread powers. The concensus of opinion, as expressed by the press of Canada at a recent conference on the subject of manpower in Ottawa, was that it was high time that such a plan should be put into effect with courage and determin ation. The day to day war news makes only too evident! the urgent necessity for the speeding up oi Canada s whole war effort. The utilization of manpower is not the only major war problem, of course, but it is a highly important one. Canada, like the rest of the fighting democracies, is endeavoring to catch up in months with an organization that the dictatorship enemies have these many years been ruthlessly perfecting. That Canadians must cnange and sacrifice and do it immediately must now be amply abundant to all. The thought that the war can be lost should be a sufficient spur to all. It is a question now whether persuasive leadership on the part of the government will be enough to meet the situation. In bringing about an effective selective service program, compulsion is implied. Just how far it will be possible to proceed by the method of persuasion with authority to compel evident in the background is most problematical. Certainly the government must be prepared to exercise compulsion as far and as fast as pressing requirements necessitate and there must be no temporizing about the matter. The enemy. does not wait. There is much to do in this little disciplined nation of ours and little time in which to do it. The major policy of national selective service must consist of deliberate control of employment or utilization of manpower. What this may involve for every employer and employee in Canada' in the very near future may be imagined. It may mean changes and even discomforts but there is little reason to expect that for the most of Canadians these can long be deferred. Quite possibly we should have been feeling them long ago. The thoughtful people of Prince Rupert are doubtless in favor of the government taking a courageous stand in the efficient allocation of manpower. Call it regimen-L tation if you will. This newspaper has taken the stand , that this must be done if we are to achieve the effort necessary to the successful prosecution of this war. This, we believe, is the view of various citizens small business men workers of all kinds, including those in the war industry. The serious ones, we believe, are not only willing but are impatient to have this better utilization of manpower brought about even if it should embody drastic changes in some ways, interfering with the old way of doing things. . Among the working classes, particularly the young, there may have to be a measure of discipline. Due to a ruinous competition for the services of men, there has developed an attitude of independence which may well become dantrerous. A condition has developed which among the thoughtless, at least, encourages a spirit of exploitation, a consideration of self interest for the earn ing of extra dollars not for saving but for spending. Conditions here have been made very favorable for a spirit that for some is far removed from any consideration of an honest war effort. In other words they think more of what they can get out of the war rather than what they ought to be doing towards the end of winning it. There appears to be an utter lack of appreciation of the perils and consequences which would be involved in the losing of this war. Consideration of self interest is one of our worst fifth columnists. With some it is the desire to exploit the situation for their own ends. With some it is unwillingness to change. Some just wish fo go on having a good time in their own sweet way. With some it is just sheer lethargy. Many utterly fail to appreciate the seriousness of the situation or evade the issue by refusing to even think of it. There may be a little time for one more great recruiting campaign where every Canadian would be asked point blank if he is pulling his load in the war effort if his own manpower, is doing the best job it is capable of directly in the war effort. There must be immediately a more earnest war effort on the pdrt of Canadians individually, a dropping of the attitude of personal exploitation. The only way of developing that attitude is by bringing about an appreciation of the seriousness of I Out here in the west at Prince Rupert a lot of us are very sure that we are really under the gun the gun of . the enemy and that it may not be so long before it be-trins shootincr at us.
