THURSDAY, JIJLY 18TH, 1940 Mackenzie King, a Statesman - and a Politician Hon. W. L. Mackenzie"Kiîîg, is the most highly educated man ever ta bold the Pre- miersbip of Canada. His university degrees are earned degnees. He is level-headed, fan- seeing. and holds a very high place anion,- the statesmen of the world. He has few peers in sheer brain-power. No onîe can deny that lie has a masterful grasp of both Domestic and International affairs. i ne Editor Takes No Chances Editors of iveekly newspapers are calle( upon to render ail kinds of public an( pnivate services outside the realmi of tbeii ow-n profession. But the request that top them ail off ini our journalistie career oi over a quarter century w-as received thi! w-eek. It ivas a letter addressed to th( editor ini personl from a nîedieal eoncern ini whieh a full sized bottie of laxative tab. Jets w-as enclosed. requesting us ta "tak( the tabletis for three consecutive îigb-lts' and send them the results (if still living) the fourth day or else-give the tablets tç a member of aur staff, and liave inii fil! out the questionaire on the baek of tIi letter with details. "Please be frank- wa speeially requested. Affer going the rounds 'f the staff there were no takers and tlî< bottie of tablets is stili on the editon's desk. So, as a last ilesont, w-e appeal ta oau- sub- scnibers and offer the bottle ta the first citizen w-ho will caîl at the Statesmian offie and give the tablets a 3-consecutive iigýhts trial. No questions wvî1l bc asked. just fil] out the questionnaire and mail direct. In the meaiitime the editor will continue to eat Jîm Morden's "Creainiof Barley." the breakfast cereal that keeps you fit and lias heen manufactured for aven haîf a century right bere ini Bow-manville. He bas earnied aur praise and high respect for his able., ise guidance - iin peacetime. Thnughtful Canadians of aIl parties must concede that lie bas had a very large share i.n building for Canada an honored place among the nations of the world. But, Mackenzie King is also a politician - and a very able one. blis hold on party loyalty is nemankable. bis followers in the House,-deservedly owe him allegiance - in peacetime. This means unity and con- tinuity of policy. Ail of whidi, in nîormal times, under our party anîd representative system, is righlt and proper. But, to-day, w-e are at war! Gradually but surely, w-e believe, a feel- i.ng is growing in this counitry. among al parties. even the Liberal party, that a change must be instituted at Ottawa; a change such as that whicb, inevitably, in Bnitain, alw-ays takes place in times of cnisis. Chamberlain, the delîbenative "appeasen" was repisced by Churchill, the man of ACYTIION. Asquith, the intelleetual, had to give way ta that masterful and matchless littie Welsh- man, David Lloyd George - at the quick mnsistence of the coxnmon people of Bitaîn - who sensed danger. It is ail a matter of the intellectual versus the executive - in wartime. Mackenzie King is an ilïtellectual'rat'heii than a wartime executive. He cannot shake off the obsession of partyism. His duties, we know to be immense and this preoccupa- tion may have influenced lis recent appoint- ments upon strictly party lines ratier than upon national uines. Too many of bis sub- ordinates and followers in the bouse are stil playing the party game when their country siould receive first consideration. This miust stop - and at once, if Canada is to render an effective service in this war. We must corne to realize ere long that we are iin full partnersbip with Bitain in this war and must parallel bier course, share ber privations, stand shoulder to shoîilder under the leadership of some strong, force- fui, DYNAMIC personality. An executive ratier tian an intellectual. Hlenry Ford lias No Monopoly on Iiatred for War Wiile it is natural for the Ford Motor Company of Canada to attempt ta enligiten the people of Canada - througi large ad- *Vertisements - of the work it is carrying on ini the interests of Canada 's war effort, it is not easy for Canadians ta ovenlook the attitude of Henry Fond from bis elevated position in United States industry w-hen lie refuses to manufacture airplane engines for Great Britain at a tîme ivben her very exist- ence is at stake. It is quite truc that the Canadian Ford plant bas been throwingr itself into the pro- duction of transports for the Caniadian Gov- ernmeut and they have been enjaying suf- ficicîît business ta keep their Caniadiani plant at full production. Had it not been for these splendid contracts the Ford plants would probably be running on vcry short time, witi resultant lasses ta the business. The spokes- man for Mr. Fard admits this w-ben hie says, "Major adjustments in our business have been necessary tirough Jasa of expont trade and because of dojnestic taxation. " Iu view of this statement it is not hard to sec that Canadian war business is vital ta tbe Can- 4dian Ford plant. It is bardly necessary to dw-eII an Mr. F'ord's attitude towards war in general. H1e bas no monopoly on bis hatred for w-ar. It ià difficult, bow-ever, ta reconcîle bis varions policies. Ford comipanies are Ford coînpanies no matter wbere tlîey are located, and w-hen the head of that great conceru bias sucb de- finite view an the matter of armamnents one woulcl expect it ta penuneate tbe' w-hale or- ganizatioîi. However, Mn. Ford 's plaies amt of necessity thraw tîîemselves inito war work, his Amenicaii plants can he kept at ài production through the Amnerieaii pr- paredness campaign while lie bapes the ini- struments he creates may neyer be e-alled upon ta Içill anyone. These two points o>f -view, of course., keep bis plants gaing fuîll gteam ahead, but it will niot be easy for Canadians ta neconcile themselves to suecb a viewpoint nor will it be easily understood 'wby oi parliamentary leaders have îeen rushing into Pri.nt ta smootb aven a situa- tion that may have a far-reacbing effeet on the British Empire. 1 1 MrIL- ý . - -- Senator McRae Fed Up According yta press dispatches, Senator A. D. McRae, Vanîcouver, appears ta be ýed Up sittinîg in the R.ed Chamber at' Ottawa and is --oing home because he feels that with aIl the red tape and patronage that is rampanît, along with lack of infoîrmation. he i.s prevented from helping Canada prasecuite the war effectivelv. From long distance range it looks as if most of the meînbens of parliament mig-ht w-cil follow- Senator Mc- Rac's example. for ah tbhey seem ta be doing is talking a lot and saying verýy little. That is îîot partieularly helpful ini winning the war. Anywvay, withi the creation of a few more cabinet ministers and deputies the seating eapacitv of the House of Commons will have ta be enlang-ed. To prevent this needless expenditure aur suggestion is that the M.P.'s be sent back home and be given the job of conducting, the National Regis- tration iin their respective rîdings or else let them give leadership and enthusiasm ta the sale of War Savings Stamps or Centifi- cates to the electors. In these wavs tbey w'ould contnibute more effective w-arservice than sitting in the House of Commons twiddling their thumbs day after day. Someone Wili Be KilIed mtNot a day passes but some car nearl eesits doom at the sharp turn at Stai iey's bridge just west of the town. Ver i tti bs ever been done by the Departmer oHihways to make this place safer fo the erring motorist. The poliey of the power that ruie seems to be to wait till a fei fatalîties occur ta take action ta remec, this death trap. Two major accidents bave aiready beei recorded there this year. Several otiers wer less serious. Stili athers are neyer reported Every hour cars narrowly escape îîemesi there. Brakes squeal and fortune intervene ta save a careless driver. We have made a study of the situatior there and suggest several improvement! which could well be made ta save motorisi from the folly of fast driving. The loca Chamber of Commerce mîgit gain then selves some much-needed imnortality bý looking into tic question and demanding action.* Theecurve must be better marked if future loss of life is ta be prevented. A brigbt flasbing ligbt is ueeded suci as on the bigh- way at the overbead bridge at Scarbora. Also several bright Street ligbhts at the spat would warn motanists. For day-time precau- tion a haîf-dozen large warning signs w-ould undoubtedly prevent many accidents. Wben approacbing the curve one is finst confronted with a slig-ht grade on a curve, blocking out ail vision of what lies beyond. Here an ordinary highwav sign indicates a curve ta the south. It is deceiving-. A few yards fanther on, before the stranger has time ta check bis speed, isaxiother sigu vîtii a 90 degree angle turn in the opposite direc- tion. That warning cames tao late for many. It is not up ta the tawn ta spend the money ta improve this place. but with speed increasing every day local authanities sbould take enough interest in it ta see that the Dept. of Higbw-ays takes immediate steps ta rectify this hazardous curve-for tbe next accident may result in a fatality-and strike home.
