A
Wise

Monday,
April
3,
1944
Thousands
of
Canadian
hearts
were
lichtened
last
week
oy
tne
announcement
that
time
for
payment
of
1913
tax
balances
has
been
extended
to
August

Loyal

When
there
is
so
much
talk
of
the
luke-warm
or
even
hostile
attitude
of
many
French-Canadians
toward
the
prosecution
of
the
war
it
is
refreshing
to
learn
of
incidents
that
indicate
that
there
are
those
of
that
race
who
are
ardent
defenders
of
the
Empire.
Here
is
a
story
relating
to
German
prison
tactics
with
prisoners
taken
at
Dieppe,
that
was
first
reported
in
Canada's
Weekly,
a
journal
published
in
London,
England:
A
sailor
taken
prison
at
Dieppe
states
that
the
first
week's
hunger
in
a
compound
was
terrible.
Twice
a
day
the
prisoners
got
a
small
bowl
of
potato
water
and
a
chunk
of
brownish
black
bread.
The
men
were
so
hungry
that
they
ate
grass.
Then
the
Germans
played
what
they
thought
was
a
trump
card.
They
called
French-Canadians
to
gether,
said
the
English
were
misleading
them
by
guumg
mem
to
ngni
against
r
ranee,
ana
much
more
along
that
line.
This
they
supplemented
with
vegetables
and
meat
which
were
said
to
be
the
gift
of
the
Vichy
Government;
all
with
the
hope,
of
course,
of
starting
a
riot
between
the
other
prisoners
and
the
French-Canadians,
which
would
have
been
exploited
for
propaganda
purposes
in
France
and
