had
been
included
in

learned
recently
from

that
this

Defence
of
Canada
ARE
TWO
recent
events
of
international
THERE
scope
and
importance
which
have
a
distinct
and
weighty
bearing
on
any
consideration
given
to
the
problem
of
the
defence
of
Canada.
The
first
of
these
is
the
tense
situation
in
Berlin.
It
is
obvious
even
though
we
may
not
know
what
is
going
on
behind
the
scenes
that
the
state
of
affairs
in
the
German
capital
is
fraught
with
dangerous
possibilities
and
grave
portent.
The
second
event
is
the
prominent
place
allotted
Canada
in
the
current
discussion
in
Washington
on
the
subject
of
North
American
aid
to
the
European
Western
Union
in
the
event
of
war.
The
forthcoming
visit
of
United
States
Defence
Secretary
Forrestal
to
Ottawa
also
lends
significance.
The
first
of
these
events
confirms
the
view
that
Avar
is
a
definite
possibility.
The
second
implies
action
on
our
part
in
assisting
our
Allies
in
the
event
of
another
conflagration.
We
cannot,
like
the
ostrich,
hide
our
heads
in
the
sand
and
pretend
that
the
dangerous
situation
does
not
exist,
since
it
is
a
tact.
Recognizing
the
fact,
we
must
take
action.
It
is
useless
for
Canada
to
discuss
aid
to
the
Western
Union
without
doing
something
about
it.
Whatever
purely
military
commitments
are
made,
if
any,
it
is
apparent
that
aid
of
material
nature
must
be
furnished
and
we
in
Canada
must
do
our
share
to
provide
it.
This
brings
us
again
to
the
crying
need
for
industrial
preparedness
in
our
country.
The
government
must
give
adequate
direction
and
inform
industry
of
requirements.
If
they
are
not
known,
effective
effort!
must
be
made
to
ascertain
the
needs
of
our
forces'
and
the
extent
to
which
we
are
expected
to
supply
our
Allies:
During
World
War
II
some
70
percent
of
our
output
went
to
countries
other
than
Canada.
We
can
contribute
substantially
to
the
defence
of
freedom,
but
will
we?
The
answer
to
that
question
rests
with
each
citizen.
HON.
ST.
LAURENT
RT.
HON.
Louis
Stephen
St.
Laurent,
6G,
who
was
Prime
Minister
Mackenzie
King's
personal
choice
as
his
successor,
is
a
brilliant
lawyer
from
Quebec
and
an
able
parliamentarian
but
a
comparative
tyro
in
active
politics.
Son.
of
a
country
general
store
merchant,
he
entered
politics
at
an
age
when
most
men
are
laying
plans
for
their
retirement.
He
was
59
and
without
any
political
experience
when
Mr.
King,
at
the
suggestion
of
Hon.
J.
G.
Gardiner,
asked
him
to
give
up
a
lucrative
law
practice
and
take
the
post
made
vacant
by
the
death
of
Justice
Minister
Lapointef
At
his
first
press
conference,
he
confessed
promptly
that
he
knew
"nothing
about
politics"
but
felt
he
could
not
"shirk"
the
duties
which
the
.'government
felt
he
should
perform.
(Much
the
same
attitude,
no
doubt,
actuated
him
in
accepting
the
Liberal
leadership).
That
was
in
wartime
1941.
Quiet,
cultured,
gentlemanly,
he
quickly
won
a
strong
following
in
the
Commons
and
in
1946
became
external
affairs
minister
whenair.
King
laid
aside
that
post,
which
traditionally
had
gone
with
the
prime
ministership.
His
able
performance
as
Canadian
representative
at
the
United
Nations
further
enhanced
his
reputation
nt
home.
Mr.
St.
Laurent
AVas
the
first
of
the
leadership
candidates
to
declare
himself
in
the
running.
A
few
days
after
Mr.
King
announced
his
impending
retirement
last
January,
Mr.
St.
Laurent
told
reporters
at
Winnipeg
he
would
accept
the
party
leadership
if
support
for
his
candidacy
was
reasonably
unanimous.
'
But
he
warned
that
he
would
withdraw
if
the
'contest
threatened
a
division
on
the
racial
and
religious
issues.
.
He
is
an
almost
perfect
bilingualist
who
firmly
believes,
and
often
has
said
so,
that
Canadians
could
help
strengthen
national
unity
by
learning
both
French
and
English.
His
father,
J.
B.
M.
St.
Laurent,
was
a
French-sneakine
Canadian
and
his
mother.
Mary
Ann
Eroderick,
was
an
Irish-Canadian
whose
parents
came
from
Galway,
Ireland.
From
his
childhood,
'Mr.
St.
Laurent
has
spoken
both
French
and
Entr--Jish.
;
"I
didn't
know
at
first,"
he
once
said,
"that
there
were
two
languages
in
Canada.
I
just
thought
there
was
one
wav
to
talk
to
my
father
and
another
to
talk
to
my
mother."
PACIFIC

THE
FUTURE
of
the
Pacific
Great
Eastern
Rail-I
way
is
being
deliberated
upon
in
Montreal
early
this
w
eek.
Those
taking
part
in
the
discussion
are
Premier
Byron
Johnson
of
British
Columbia
and
the
heads
of
the
Canadian
National
and
Canadian
Pacific
Railways,
R.
C.
Vaughan
and
W.
A.
Mather.
According
to
what
has
been
learned
in
Ottawa
the
possibility
of
joint
operation
of
the
P.G.E.
by
two
transcontinental
systems
is
the
chief
purpose
of
the
negotiations.
It
would
mean
the
solution
of
a
vexed
Question
and,
there
seems
no
good
reason
why
the
deal
could
not
be
put
through
now
as
well
as
some
other
time.

Further
in
regard
to
the
letter
In
last
night's
paper,
I
agree
with
the
letter
and
am
sure
that
something
could
be
done
to
give
the
girls
who
are
not
so
well
known
a
chance.
There
must
be
a
lot
of
out-of-town
people
who
would
be
glad
to
act
as
Judges
In
the
fair
way.
It
cannot
be
called
a
beauty
contest
when
everyone
knows
the
most
popular
girl
will
get
in.
It
is
true
there
are
a
lot
of
out-of-town
girls
who
would
like
to
enter
but
who
know
they
have
not
got
a
chance
because
they
are
not
well
enough
known.
So
come
on
and
give
the
real
beauty
a
chance.
