Mackenzie King ... 1 History will pass judgment on the statesmanship or otherwise of William Lyon Mackenzie King, past master in the art of diplomacy and astute expert in the practice of politics. In the heat of a crisis such as that through which we are now passing or influenced by sentimental or political feelings on a highly contentious subject, it is difficult to form calm judgments. And it servos no purpose at this time to vex ourselves or argue with others on whether Mackenzie King's actions have "been statesmanlike or not. Possibly, however, we can all agree that Mackenzie King kept Canada united in more than five years of war and, through that unity, this Dominion va"s able to make a record in its war effort that probably none of the other United Nations can equal. At the same time his administration kept the country on a sound economic keel, avoiding the dangers of inflation and maintaining a remarkable degree of order and harmony on the home front. There is no reason to doubt the sincerity qf the Prime Minister's purpose in avoiding conscription as long as possible in order that Quebec might be kept in due bounds and united with the rest of Canada. Now, in spite of Quebec and faced by the possibility of a greater disunity, he accepts the overwhelming preponderance of opinion and advice and changes his mind. It was a case of "be damned if he did and' be dairmed if he didn't" if ever there was one. Such world leaders as Churchill, Roosevelt and even Stalin have paid their tribute to Mackenzie King's statesmanship. If we would be 'tempted to be unduly critical or recriminating, it would be wise to withold our T- . j ; J1 -:. , . . t t 1 VKI I ,n nil! fRl SAT I I Mpd SUN MON ILts i i W 1 1 1 3 4 5 tHiisisiksw- -if PAGE TWO judgment until a more opportune time to cooly weigh the facts. When we talk of throwing a government out we must also consider whether we have a better one to put in and also remember that these are critical times to make such a change. If there were not so many people waiting to see which way. the cat will jump we might be able to form a better idea of what might happen at Ottawa. Maybe the cat doesn't even know which way to jump. Churchill's Bouquet . . . The statement of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, right out in meeting, that the United States is the greatest military, naval and air power in the world may not go over so well with some hard-shelled Hritons- and possibly some other intensely nationally-minded people. But "Prime Minister Churchill has said it and he ought to know. We are not much interested in Whether United States or Great Britain is the greatest nation in the world. It is a nice thing for Churchill to tell the Americans so over in London on their Thanksgiving Day. Of course, it might not have been the most diplomatic thing to say. We are glad, however, that we don't have to make any similar admissions in favor of Germany or Japan which we might have had to today if United States and Great Britain had not got together and stayed together as they will continue to do. Meanwhile if Premier Churchill chooses to throw an extra big bouquet to our good American friends, why should anybody be unduly worried about it? ifc seems to us that we have not been doing much for the Russian city -which was adopted for our favor some time ago. But maybe Nogaisk is getting along all right without us. Rerhember Wm. F. Stone "CLOTHES OP DISTINCTION" this Old Chum Calendar and the year 1935 ? Th. British Empire ctl.braf.d th.
