certificate charlle bartlett has won it thee past two weeks and the women raising 200 at a rummage sale and the lome scots ladles saving pea nut bags and the legion women having a tag day we learn every day of new ways to raise money in forest they have started a dutch auction every saturday night this is like a draw only more fun the auctioneer asks for bids on the article to be auctioned starting at 25c and going up a quarter at a time each bidder however pays only 25c for his bid when the amount col jected reaches a certain snt bidding stops and the draw is made it saves all the work involved in the usual draw where tickets are being sold by dozens of people and it takes several days before the exact amount of money realized is known in a dutch auction someone in the crowd is always the winner and the money is all taken in and counted tight on the spot total war new and tragic meaning has been given to the phrase total war by the recent march of events millions of hollanders then- homes in ruins their parents friends war means the citizens of oslo ground under the heel of a barbaric conqueror know what total war means the heroic belgians their homeland overrun b the tanks and flying col umns of an implacable roe know what total war means our own fighting men on land and sea and in the air face to face with the monster of force the twisted mind of hitw has created they too know what total war means we wonder if canadians living peacefully and going about their ac customed basks appreciate the grav ity of the hour bow filled with des tiny are the days that he immediately ihiad this is indeed a total war it is a war not of armies navies- and air forces alore it is a war or whole peo pies and to wage it successfully it is imperative that the total resources of our nation be directed to what must be our one consuming purpose to win thf war today a means has been provided in canada whereby everyone regardless o his station can do his bit to further this great crusade war savings certificates now being ffered by the dominion government enable the masses of canadians who are still fortunate enough to be liv ing in tlie dominion to make a direct and continuing contribution to can adas war effort to buy war savings certificates is an investment in patriotism an in estinetu in our own security and freedom an investment guaranteed by canada herself it is our plain duty yes a privi legr too to buy war savings cer tinea tea we too can serve by saving th ir t in erna ional railway was can idian entt prle according to o rothney wr

of the graveevents abroad the parliament of canada has decided to effect immediate mobluza tion of all human and material re sources not only for the proper prose cutlon of the war but also for the saf ety of this nation itself it is not an ordinary war measure but rather an enactment of an unusual emergency in fac non war bills that were sup posed to be presented in the house of commons have been placed aside on tte sessional agenda then again certain expenditures other than essen tial war matters will have to take a ho iday in the words of one states man with curtailments involving a cut

whereb no enemy or unfriend craft can hop to escape timely de tectlon on the street may not realize it yet in these days the defense or any country must include proper protection against treason sab otage and subversive foreign propagan da just as much if not more as ag alhst any other important danger in volved in waging a war canada fias now recognized this fact and the gov eminent o preparations to suppress fifth column activities throughout canada whether they are carried on by organized elements or by those in dividuals who put partisan and per sonal considerations above those of national well being and safety are the main subjects of excited discus stons both inside and outside of the house of commons and the senate with the result that drastic changes may be expected shortly in the whole present set up of the defense of can ada regulations there are those legislators in ottawa who hold that the governments steps to combat the fifth column are too mild but at the same time there are others whe insist that there shall be no infringement of a canadian dt lzens rights even in wartime pointing out that some of the suggestions wmen have been made to the government t e far toe drastic and radical espec tally the enactment of a law similar to the notorious quebec padlock law the abol srrnent of the rights of hab eas corpu which forces the crown to produce a man for trial or numerous others that would cause canadians to be arrested and interned on mere sus piclon and later released to be brand ed in their own community as susplc ious characters consequently the government has created a parllamen tary committee to investigate and to report on what actions are advisable under the present grave conditions in order that the defense of canada regulations may provide proper pro tectlon against foreign agents who aim we may say and no doubt we do oh hes in the army and jus a private too but a private or a general hes a mother i pride and joy and th very

laws of our democracy this committee has the power to send for persons papers etc and to examine witnesses under oath and report their observatl time t time 1n the houyr commons the officials on parliament wu are not inclined to minimize the dan gers of the fif th column but there likewise no disposition to become hysterical about it because they knojr exacuy what has been done and what is being done to combat it though much of this work cannot be publicized for certain state reasons especially the confidential work of the department of justice in ottawa under the lead ership of the rt hon ernest iw point and of the royal canadian mounted police under the guidance of commissioner s t wood in fact the secret service knows all lhe ring leaders and most of the folloitfers of fifth column organizations and this is why there have been so many arrests internments etc with few if any actual escapes from the jaw and why there has not been a single casel of serious sabotage in canada in c r war though a contrary impression a to have been created throughout this country actions against fifth ool- um activities have been carried out with great intensity and little publicnr for a long time the royal canadian mounted police have been adding new continually increasing their force by 600 men only recently not only for guard dutj but to keep a close sur veillance on- certain subversive ele ments combining their furious efforts with agents from various federal de partments for the purpose of working together so that factories producing essential war materials shall be prop erly manned and protected so that plots against the safety of the state shall be discovered in time to fore stall or arrest espionage activities in deed all information is carefully checked judged and acted upon quick ly aided in no small degree by the or der incouncil which widened and amplified the legal powers of the pol ice agencies in canada particularly that law which declares that all sub versive parties are illegal organizations and membership in them past or pre- ijent is a criminal act though it must be reported that certain subversive el ements nave destroyed their member ship lists and rushed to join trade un ions so that if these persons are ar rested they can say that this is an attack on trade unionism further more th magnitude of this problem can be realised when it is mentioned here that there are almost a r people n canada of either german ox italian origin with the additional re mark that these italians have increas ed over 47 since 1931 or a growth of over 40 000 and on the prairies out of the total population of 2415 000 ihere were 300 000 of german origin or 128 per cent though in all canada 72a 000 persons were of german ori gin nevertheless this observer on par- can inform the man on he street throughout canada that the authorities have recognized this dan ger in time and this national recog nition together with the unity of pur pose and belief in our democratic ijstem of government as free men or women rt ing far above all strict par ty votes in both the house of com mons and the senate are the surest and most efficient protection
