sum mary of extracts from the canadian legion memorandum submitted to the leaders of the four dominion political parties futtire problems next to winning the war the most important problem which faces us to day is the reconstruction period the period of rehabilitation and re-estab- llshment you cannot remove six eight nine hundred thousand or a million of the fittest and best of your man power from the economic life of the country without some measure of dislocation and certainly you cannot fit uwm back without careful plann ing we must win the war un doubtedly and we will but we must also win the peace which means re adjusting our war machine to the de velopment of our peacetime program we have the advantage of the experience of the last war to guide us and wisdom would juotaie that we should read these lessons and avoid the mistakes then made bchablgtatloa m we ore glad to know that the gov eminent has already given constfiera- tion to this important matter and has set up committees to study the varl oua aspects of the problem in the last war these problems were appar ently overlooked until the end of the war wa almost in sight when schemes had to be hurriedly evolved and personnel assembled in addl lion the government of the day had no previous experience either here or elsewhere to guide it in the result many well intentioned schemes failed to develop efficiently it should be possible to evolve schemes which have a reasonable chance of success pro vlded always that the conditions are favourable for favourable conditions these factors are essential first that economic conditions shall be capable of permitting the absorption of a large number of men in a short spaoe of time and that the attitude of the men shall be favourable dealing with these problems we would make the follow lug observations economic conditions these of course it ls impossible to foresee it appears to be the fairly general opin ion hat the reconstruction period following the war will be difficult as a result of the complete dislocation of normal activities we do not claim to be economic experts nor do we claim to be capable of putting forward peclfic recommendations for its solu tion w do however recognize that the country cannot afford totum loose the young men the fit men the very flower of the younger generation to drift aimlessly and without hope of finding i place of security in the economic life of the country it is our considered opinion that while go ing all out to win the war we must never oerlook he necessity of secur ing the peace we therefore re commend that immediate steps be taken to survey the field of employment that it may be o developed even artificially if need be that a place may b found for every volunteer who enlists the outlook of the service man as already mentioned the problem of rehabilitation following the last war seems to have been subordinated to winning the war and little considera tion was given to it util la e in the war period in particular the men themselvesxtere never given any oc casion to think of the matter until later when the khaki university was developed the general tendency was to concejmvfvte on winning the war without regard to the future there is no reason why concentration on win ning he war cannot be maintained while at the same time a healthy in terest in his future is inculcated into the man on service it ls for this reason that canadian legion war ser vices are seeking to develop an edu cational programme and if the inl tial experiment proves a success it can no doubt be expanded almost in definitely but in this connection gov einment aid may be necessary legion had great difficulty tn adjust ing questions of seniority by reason of the fao that no such arrangements were made e attention ls directed to new zealand legislation along these lines we believe there is similar legisla tion inustralla 3 employment in civil service the men serving overseas are engag ed in public service of the highest or der therefore the field of public ser vice should be made available to them it follows therefore a that appointments to the public service of canada should save such we have now outlined some of the for which a veeran of the war 1914- factors which we consider affect the 1918 is qualified to fill during the war development of any policy of rehabtll- beregarded astemp6rary and vacan- tation it ls not our purpose at this cies made available to men with over time to discuss definite schemes we seas service at the termination of the will be glad to do so when the govern- war tlus- recommendation ls not ment policies are more clearly de- intended to affect those classified fined but we reemphasize that such temporaries on september 1st 1 schemes should be developed at the b that an effort be made to secure earliest possible moment and that similar concessions from provincial nen now temporary schemes shbuld governments municipal bodies and be made available for men discharg- public utilities ed as medically unfit many of whom it is recognized that these ore dras- ut present present distressing prob- uc proposals and they are submitted lems we do however desire to stress more as a basis of discussion there certain matters which in our opinion can be no equality of sacrifice if men are essental if any scheme of rehabl- other than veterans of the last war

along these lines which we now repeat namely a it should be provided by statute that everv man who was in employ mint when he enlisted should be en- titled to reinstatement if physically li for such employment in the same positi j with the senloritj which re w6uld have had if he had not en listed provided of course that the business or enterprise in which he was cfispoyed is still in exigence and engagid in work of the same nature bi if the nature of the work ls such that absence from employment for a ptriod of time would impair skill it should be the resporisibilty of the government to compensate the em ployer during such period as the man ls undergoing a period of training c to prevent abuser some tribunal ijiouid be set up to assess compensa tion for dismissal without adequate

of queen mary is 66 years old and has had a long career in the service of the em pire once before the earl was selected for the same office to succeed the duke or connaugjrt but thejast war intervene ed and he served with the british army in france it is interesting to note tha- where as at that time the appointment was made by the british government this time it was made by the king on the advice of his canadian ministers reciprocity with the shouting over the diplo matic fauxpas of ambassador james cromwell scarcely died down gordon conant attorney general of on tario gave the ujsa something else to talk about in a speech at cann- ington ontario he said that canada s supreme task was to make every sacrifice to bring the vs into the war on the side of the allies if the usa want to build the st lawrence waterway by all means let us join them if they want access to alaska over canadian soil there should be no hesitation in settling the mat er in fact nothing short of the impairment of

a vicious attack by a nazi bomber nobody expected that the enemy would commit such an outrage as the sole survivo- of the crew of eight said we were no- alarmed because on previous occasions german pilots had waved to us and left us alone but on this oc casion the bomber suddenly dived and sprayed ilhe deck with machine gun bullets and later dropped nine bombs the lost of which hit our ship tne prime minister has described thlf as an act of pure gangsterism britain even in time of war regards lightships as outside the scope of hos tilities aiid british lightships as the prime minis er stressed are not even utilized to report the presence of en emy craft in their vicinity enemy attacks on them ere no military pur pose and can have no effect on the result of the war the first lightship to be placed in english waters was that stationed at the nore in 1732 to day there ts still a lightship there with the name of her station painted in huge letters on her side every lightship carries the name of its station and on its mast has a symbol usually a huge hollow glove show- ing that it is a lightship so there can be no question of mistaken iden tity when such a ship is attacked besides the 45 british lightships al ways on duty there are nine spare re lieving vessels the crew consists usually of eleven men seven on board and four on shore the men spend one month on shore tor every two on board wrought iron chains attached to two mushroomshaped anchors each wei t koe s a their stations in addition to the light the majority of the ships have sirens or horns for use in fog
