xEspionage
and
Treason
!
There
is
something
sinister
about
espionage.
Like
propaganda,
it
is
a
form
of
conflict
that
goes
on
between1
the
actual
fighting
of
the
Kvars.
It
is
an
unseen,
subtle
and
passive
activity
which
continues
uri-iabated
during
the
days
of
so-called
jpeace.
Because
its
methods
are
overt
and
dark,
espionage
is
regard-d
as
an
insidious
profession.
A
itype
of
treachery
is
often
part
of
ithe
technique.
Yet
the
secret
agent
Imttfst
have
an
integrity,
an
endure
lance,
a
purpose
such
as
few
-people
jare
called
upon
to
exercise
in
their
every
day
affairs.
So,
despite
the
stigmas
that
might
attach
to
it,
the
;sp
must
have
a
very
definite
form
of
jfionpr
and
certainly
he
must
have
;a
measure
of
courage
that
many
jpefplerdo
not
possess.
:
"There
is.no
particular
reason
for
!us
to
hate
Russia
the
more
because
;we'
find
out
that
she
has
been
practising
espionage
in
a
large
scale
in
Caiada.
If
Russia
has
not
the
atomic
secrets
that
we
have,
we
should
not
;be
surprised
if
she
should
endeavour
;to
get
them.
.
If
the
shoe
were
on
the
other
foot
and
Russia
had
the
atomic
secrets
and
would
not
divulge
them
to
us,
we
would
probably
en-flecivourtoj
obtain
them
ourselves
al-hou.gh
our
methods
might
differ.
m
In
fact,
we
would
be
derelict
in
pur,
own
defence
if
we
did
not
endeavour
to
obtain
the
weapons
wbich
might
mean
the
difference
between
our
extermination
and
our
salvation.
'.
Conversely,
it
is
also
our
duty
to
J
see
that
none
of
our
secret
informa-;tion
is
allowed
to
pass
into
the
'
i
liiliM
hands
of
those
who
might
use
it
against
us.
There
can,
of
course,
be
no
excuse
for
the
traitors
among
our
own
people
who
would
consciously
abet
in
the
passing
on
of
oiir
secret
information
to
unauthorized
persons
of
other
nations
who
seek
surreptitiously
in
any
,
way
to
obtain
it.
Their
category
might
be
considered
even
lower
than
that
of
the
soldier
who
in
heat
of
losing
battle
might
go
over
to
the
enemy
and
fight
against
his
comrades.
The
name
for
the
offence
is
treason
and
the
punishment
for
treason
is
death.
The
only
thing
we
can
hope
for
now
is
that
it
may
yet
be
shown
that
there
were
no
Canadians
who
were
consciously
culpable
of
conspiracy
to
pass
out
secrets
vital
to
our
own
defence.
Why
Ceilings
Are
Necessary
It
is
easy
to
understand
why
people
consider
the
high
cost
.
of
living
the
chief
problem
facing
them.
It
is
that
which
most
closely
effects
their
daily,
lives,
their
material
possessions,
their
pbcketbboks.
The
most
numerous
ciass
the
great
middle
class,
comprising
white-collar
workers,
farmers,
professional
men
and
women
feel
this
pinch
of
rising
costs
severely;
Often
it
means
the
difference
between
send:
ing
Jean
or
John
away
to
the
school
they
had
their
heart
set
on
or
find
ing
a
less
satisfactory
education
near
home.
Sometimes
it
actually
means
the
difference
between
getting
an
education
and
going
to
work.
Clothing
and
feeding
the
fahiiiy
are
other
troublesome,
problems.
Some
talk
of
wages
being
too
low
and
others
of
prices
beihg
too
.high
but
it's
all
one.
Severe
and
annoying
as
is
the
shortage
of
housing,
this
Concerns
only
a
minority.
That
is
why
it
is
considered
secondary
in
importance.
People
have
put
up
temporarily
wjth
miserable
living
quarters
before
this
and
have
come
through;
but
soaring
costs
mean
deprivation;
That
is
why
ceilings
should
be
kept
on
the
price
of
essential
goods.

When

upon
which

as
follows:

We
are
still
quite
prepared
to
carry
out
this
clause
and
havebeen
attempting
to
do
so
for
a
number
of
years.
Mr.
McDonald
goe.s
on
to
say
we
have
not
even
bothered
to
maintain
our
lints.
What
'his
implications
are
by
that
i
don't
know
because
the
less
interruptions
a
utility
has
the
less
expense
of
operation.
When
Mother
Nature
eoes
or.
a
rampage;
which
she
frequently
does,
not
only
in
this
area
bytin
other
parts
of
the
wbrid,
it
not
only
affects
us
but
also
rail,
foad,
telephone
and
telegraph
communication
and
frequently
there
is
not
much
that
one
can
do
about
it.
Utilities
a.s
a
rule
prefer
to
have
continuity
of
service,
tlfls
applies
not
only
to
the
management
but
also
to
the
line
staff,
particularly
If
they
have
to
turn
out
in
stormy
weather
in
the
lnlddie
of
the
night,
-when
even
if
they
are
earning
double
time,
they
would
much
prefer
to
be
sitting
comfortably
at
home.
As
an
example,
c
our
last
interruption
the
trouble
was
due
to
two
flees
sliding
4
down
the
mountain
at
different
points
on
the
Ew:al,
which
necessitated
bringing
in
the
(Dry
Dock
steam
plant
and
sending
even
men
up
the
river
t'o
clear
the
trouble,
which
cost
us,
In
the
final
check-up,
for
'
standby,
labor,
boat,
etoj..
over
$1.00(1.
This
Is
one
of
the
many
reasons
why
utilities
prefer
contlnunity
of
service
to
Interruptions
and
also
why
no
utility,
either
on
this
or
any
other
continent,
will
guarantee
complete
continuous
service.
If
a
customer
absolutely
requires
a
continuous
service,
they
usually
instnl
standby
which,
al
though
costlier,
usually
tides
them
over
until
the
utility
resumes
normal
service.
I
hone,
this
deals
with
Mr.
McDonald'3
letter
to
his
satisfaction.
Dealing
with
Mr.
Mlckleburgh'
letter
under
"Power
and
Industry"
I
cannot
understand
his
attitude
in
this
respect
as
he,
I
noted,
was
the
only
one,
apart
from
the
secretary,
who
was
taking
down
verbatim
the

expressed

the
