]REAL BATTLE LOOMS If anything can awaken usi the gravîty ai the position we a aPpraaching it hs what lias bl Pened i Crete. We have lait or af the most iniportant battiesc modern times; we have lost ti battle because aur responsibl leaders failed ta have on the spc Sforces long idle, and far moi than strong enough ta have turr _1ýed the whole tide of tlie conflie Swe las e the next two round og e Ëattle for tlie Mediterrazi enas we have alieady lait tih first two, the task ai beati Germany in tliis war is goingI be magnified beyond the rangeo any military man's foresiglit. Tih figlit becomes anc for survival. The Battie ai Crete was ex tremely important in tliat it wa the first tume in histary whenj victory wss achieved by invadinj troops transported by air, anc supplied froni the air. It is truq that aur Navy inflicted terrifig casualties on the Germans, anc that many thousands ai troopi beig carried on sea transport were drowned like rats. But it i mi.sa true that aur own naval los es, were tlie niat significant ir the war. For the first tume in bih. tory the nàvy was virtually driv- en from one area ai thie seas, and by air power alone. The answer ta this particular lesson seems ta be tliat the only effective defence for attaclc iran the air - whether those attacks are iaunched on targets on sea ar on land - is defence by aircra t. * But there are far more import- ant lassons from tlie Battle af Crete. The chef lesson is that the kmnd of traops which we have in Canada by tens ai tliousands are prechsely tlie kind ai troaps which were needed ta cape with descend- ing paraclutists. Many ai these troops have been niobilized since the early weeks ai this war - they are nat anly trained but, if anytliing, avertrained. Their prer sence i the Middle East at any tixne smnce iast autumn miglit wel have changed the tide ai battie, not once but several times. The present point is not whose fauit it was that the best military use was not made ai the farces the British Empire had and lias available. Everybody now knaws that we iack the shipping ta get the forces ta the Middle East i tinie for the imminent next stages ai this battle. That was not true lait year, when aur Third Cana- dien Division expected ta be sent ta tliat theatre ai war. What is important is that every Canadien, as weil as other citizens ai the still free warld, should realize that the fate ai tl4e British Em- pire;is a united fate. If we do not stand ail together and in tme we shaîl certainly faîl as one. Our bookiet "WV/lier là.' No Wili" briefty outIires the changes recentiy mode la Me, law of the.

I know that the number iientioned i the advertisements .s not 50,000 but 32,000. But the fact is that 50,000 volunteers are needed ta* get 32,000 recruits, i view of rejections because of phy- sical inperfection. It is a commentary on how we are figliting this war that the or- ganized publicity ta borrow the noney literaliy drowns out the cail for men. Actuaily the goveriiment needs one quarter af the money now on deposit in the savigs banks of the country; and pays more than double the bank rate of interest. If the-loan should f ail under those conditions my conclusion would be, not only that the patriotic spirit ai the people witli money was at an ail time low, but that they also lacked the horse-sense to make a better and safer ivest- ment than is available anyýwhere ise. But whule there is every idi- cation that the campaign for money will not only succeed, but arpass its objecive, the indica- tions are that the recruiting cam- paign wiil fail far short of its goal.
