do but snipe in these days when those who are heading the countrys war effort and carrying heavy burdens are called away from their task to waste time and effort on these hecklers it does not help the

b misleading compactness of the load levelu of lifting und other factors as well as individual differences make any estimate a rough approximate only some authorities argue that the most economical load for a woman iu 35 per cent of her body weight other mjggest 40 per cent there is reason to think that 40 per cent in too high for growing girls the constant car riage of heavy loads may develop a

conser- j vative party the numerous attempts to put politics hrst at every turn rather than the war effortand the leader ship given by a man who has held that position for two years and has not yet taken a seat in parliament was indeed a sorry spectacle while we do not lean to the c c f platform we do at least have some admiration for the leadership of mr coldwell in comparison with the twohorse exhibition of the official opposition the question before the house was a simple one that this house will aid tho government in its policy of maintaining a vigorous war effort in the final stage after a weeks debate three words were deleted in its policy if any canadian wero asked to support such a question on the street ho would invariably answer sure most folks bought vic tory bonds to aid in maintaining a vigorous war effort and have done a lot of other things solely for that purpose but not so when it comes to opposi tion groups they aro opposed to everything the government proposes folks outside of canada cant understand all the ridicule that has been heaped on prime minister king by this opposition group the new york times says the third element in the situation has been the personality of prime minister king those who in other countfies have learned to admire him for his sagacity and his smile would be surprised to find how intensely he is disliked in some sections of his own country during all this controversy he has had to sit and hear himself called a traitor by quebeckers because he finally consented to overseas conscription and denounced by hts opponents be cause he did not do it sooner his defense has been that he put canadian unity hrst but when he found the army in danger he felt that he had to put its safety first to any impartial observer it would seem a reasonable attitude but the emotions stirred by the alarm that was felt when the shortage of infantry reinforcements was first reported and the conflict of racial and polifcal at tachments that has been developed in the debate have ended by clouding all that he hn done to make canadas contribution in war so great and so united as ho said conscription has become the symbol of total effort and all else is forgotten the canadian government led by prime minister mackenzie king has given splendid leadership o canada in a totai war effort no man in public life today could have sustained the unity of canada as he has in these troublesome times it is signif cant that socalled union government failed in the last war ita also significant that when given the oppor tunity those opposed backed away from the task smd refused to shoulder the burden it would be well if these who have done so little toajd would now l0 know your neighbor now and again you run into a person who is for ever criticizing other folk if you bother totalk to tt misanthrope like this which you shouldnt you ought to ask him whether he really knows the people he finds fault with has he dined with them chatted over the back fence or gone fishing with them usually youll find ho hasnt the same goes for nations nine times out of ten when one nation blasts the pants off another barring enemy countries of course which makes it proper it is duo to ignorance the other time it is probably duo- to sheer cusscdncss looking for trouble ignorance prejuidice and lies cause enmi ties between folks on the same street or in the same office and hey cause wars between nations that is why this move for worldwide freedom of news may be a real help in trying to corral the lasting peace that is always eluding us tho idea i that nations should be able to exchange their nows without interference and that no government of big interest should bo allowed to- get control of a nations news it is a big order to put this into effect canada and the united states have a free press and no two countries know each other more intimately or get along better if the germans and the italians and the japs knew what we were like
