Another Executive Quits Ottawa Gansiderable editorial comment lias ap- peared in the press across Canada upon the iesignatian of Walter P. Zeiler after a thnec months' experience as liead o! Canada 's Tourist Industry. with the-titie of Executive Assistant ta the Minister of National War * Services; a twenty thousand dollar a year mani wlo served withaut salary or expenses. He was the latest in a long list of taiented men wlia lad been invited ta, Ottawa ta lielp 1 i the war effort but wlio could not work with thc political hierarchy. H1e resigned, and unlike the others, stated reasons: "Training and expercience have accustomed me to a larger measure o! direc tness of action thaxi it seems possible for me ta exercise in » iy present post." Sirely direct action is what is needed at Otta'wa in these eitical days. There >as .e an anazing parade o! talent ushered Out.,of thc government 's political portais affle war began axid sham and hush have shrouded their resignatians. Froni memory j we recali these naines: Wallace R. Campbell, President o! Ford Matai- Company of Can- ada; James S. Duncan, President of Massey- Harris; Harvey R. MacMillan, dynamie in- duutrialist o! Vancouver; Phulip Chester a! the Hudson's Bay Ca., and athers wliose naines escape us at thc moment. Mn. Zeller follaws them back ta where "iaction" is thc keynote of * quick ac- ,*complishment and higli suce ess. Every anc of theni is an outstanding success in hand- "Iling big business. To thoàe who stili twitter, "«Who would you place at the hcad of na- Jional affairst?" we should reply, "Just take kýýYOUr pick of thc above list or forin an cx- ecUtive of the top-notch thre." To main- ~>tain the thesis that talent is lacking in this eountry is sheer nonsense. -V ResUits Of Provincial Electidns The Victory Loan and War Savinga Coin- * mittees have failed ta, tap certain resenvoirs * of money now being dug up fromi political "«ginger jars" ta finance party candidates ixi provincial wartime elections. Newspapers of British Columubia carried the usua l une of ballyhon for the several political parties elamoring for support at the polis. One shouted, "smash thc machine", another "don 't expeiment with inexperience" while the "qucer" or unorthodox parties autlined the platforms for a new order of things. Two things stand out in these edcc- lions. Orle is that the general buncome handed out amounts about ta the same thing i bath parties. The ather is that they still have pleuty O! canipaign f unds ta fight on ~the home front. With no single party getting a majority 1ý .,te result may be a coalition or another ap- -poalThe ivise course would be ta follow t*he lad o! Hon.

A better idea would be ta join hands, budget ta belt-tightening stringeney and turn ail party funds over ta the War Savings drive. ~V_ Sitting in the Market Place Everýy town lias its proverbial market place wliere people, flot from other places, but local people, stand araund with appar- ently nothing to do and ail day to dorit. With time heavy on their hands such people develop the habit of levying destructive criticisin at ail and sundry who seek the 1est interests of the community, and their minds are so narrow and warped that they cannot conceive of any persan doing saine- thing for somebody else without same self- ish abject in1 view. Araund plate glass store windows infended ta advertise a merchant 's goods they stand, or sit in stores and offices, an annoyance to bath merchant and custam- ers, and, in some instances, indulge in per- soîial remarks at the expense of thase who came ta Jb« business. These are the people ivho very often -make little or na contri- bution ta the life of a cammunity, and, like the poar, they are always with us. No need ta mention naines or places. You know theni. Bowmanville has its share of these people -too large a share we sometimes think, and sa has every other tawn. Perhaps they are part of aur madern * civilization or are regarded as an iniprove-* ment on thue days of the old cracker barrel in country stores, where the aff&irs of the individual, the communitvy and the nation were discussed amidst clouds of tobacco smoke and often ta the detriment of the store praprietor and lis custamers. -V Buy a Naval Gun Every Month It may be assumed that the citizens of Jowmanville and district ivili ca-operate ta the utmost possible extent in what is -known as the faîl promotianal prograza af the War Savings niavement. The special faîl program in Bowmanville and district and through- out Ontario is naw in full swing. The decision of the National War Savings Cammittee at Ottawa ta have this fail pro- gram take the form of a district war weap- ans appeal will suggest ta Canadians at large that their support of the War Savings moveinent takes very definite and tangible fanm. In the case of Bawmanville, the ob- jective for the duration of the war, is a Naval Gun per manth. The Naval Gun rep- resents wvar equipment of a vital nature, and if the citizens of Boivmanville and dis- trict can provide, in the purchase of War Savings certifieates and stamps, the $7,000) a month required ta supply sucli an instru, ment of 'varfare, they will be fulfilling wliat is expected of theni. in this departinent af war aid. H. M. Cale is the president of the local War Savings Committee. The Statesman bespeaks for him and «his comnmittee as a whole the fullest passible support of the citizens of this town and district in this special fail War Savings canipaign. No citizen of Canada should feel that lie bas doue lis duty by Canada's war effort until he lias done all possible. It is only when he lias purdhased ail the War Savings cer- tificates of which lis purse is capable, that the citizen of Canada, in this precise field of war aid, lias done his duty in this grave hour for Canada and the British Empire. _V Raps Religlous Hitchhikers "How tlie Pulpit Secs the Pew" was the title of an unusually interesting addreÉs delivered in a humorous manner, by Rev. W. Smith of Part Penny at tlie Port Hope Lions' Club meeting. Mr. Sinith 's addness empliasized many characteristics of the churdh-goer as seen by the pulpit. Prom each of 'them there is a lesson ta bc gleaned. The speaker humorously made references ta the late-comer, thc' touchy thin-skinned parishionen, the sleeping churcli goer, tlie intellectual la.zy, and other types of dhurch attendants who catch tlie ministerial eyeb Each have their gaod and bad points which contribute ta the building of the church as .a body., On tlie more serious aspect of church work, Mr. Smith said statisties reveal ten per cent. of tlie mexnbership sustains tlie chuncli ta- day. "We must have a gencration of re- ligiaus hitelihikers wlio are being earricd on tlie heritage of tlieir forefathers," lie cammentcd an tlie apparent lack of interet in tlie churdli, campared with the devotion THESE TWAIN AGREE Those points are: 1. Thec daim bath by the Nazis and their Social Credît affinities that is World War II la nat realiy caused by Nazi lust for world conquest but ta sanie decp-dark conspiracy by Jewisl internation- al bankers-wlo lu some way not cxplained ta us cvidentiy give Hitler his marching orders. 2. That outstanding fascists (or ex-fascists?> about whom I wrote at iengtl in 1938, and wlo escaped internment whcn war came, arc now carrying on lu Quebec as "Social Crediters.' Their leader said, in 1938: "Mus- solini is tic greatest living luman being. It la quite an achievenient in stupidity not ta sec it." 3. That bath the Nazi agents and sanie Social Crediters are not oniy opposing the proposal for British-United States federal un- ian-whicl la endorsed by at icast tîrce quarters o! the present Churchill gavernment - and for whicl the late British Ambassa-, dor, Lord Lothian, almost literally worked himsd! ta deati. But these two groups are apposing it with precisely thc sanie sianders, insinuations and downriglt lies. FACTS SPEAK It was tao bad for the anony- mous Social Credit writer tiat le attacked me just wlen le did. For almost at that very hour thc G-men o! the U. S. were arresting the master registered Nazi agent in thc United States,* George Syl- vester Viereck. One o! thc five points lu thc indictment later re- turned against this man is tînt when le registered witl thc U. S.1 state ciepartment as an agent of the German government tînt le1 withhld certain pertinent infor- mation. This included the follow- ing activities: Tiat Nazi Agent No. 1, nat anly financed the book "We Must Save the Rcpubllc" supposedly wrltten by Steplen A. Day. U. S. Con- gressman from Ilinais, but thnt he <Viercck) lad actualiy wrlt- ten much of it. And wlat is this book? It isaa charge that the proposed British- American federal union la an in- ternational bankers' plot. Apart froni some silly variations, such as that U. S. Catholica wauld be gobbied up into the Anglican dhurcI, tîcre la no matenlal dl!- ference between this effusion by Hîtler's lîrelings in the United States and thc attacks on the same plan by Social Crediters. Thc chic! difference is tînt the former say Uncle Sani wouid be gobbledt M.p by thc British Empire, the latter caii tic exact opposite la truc. FATHER COUGHLIN'S BELPERS Thc Nazi affinity wing a! tIc Social Credit movement mugit t dlaim it is a mere coincidence that their propaganda and thÏat o! the U. S. Nazi agents is 80 mucil alike. But Father Coughlin's paper, "So- cial Justice" tells another stary. As everybody kuaws, Father Caughlil is, the mast influential anti-Britisl isolationist in the wlole U.S.A., with the possible exception o! Lindbergh and Wleeler. His naine always drew cheers only less loud than those for Hiter at the meetings a! the G e r ni a n-Amerîcan bund. And wlat does Father Cougîlin use for niaterial, not only ta appose federal union as the basis for thc next peace, but actually ta saýzo- tage thc aid-for-Britajn prograni in this war. On page 14 o! "Social Justice" for September 8 is an article cail- cd "Wlat Australia Thiuks."1 It is from an obscure Australian So- cial Credit paper, publlsled by Erie Butler at Melbourne, and called thc New Times. In a fore- note Fatler Cougîlin explains tint "Social Justice magazine las been ýcampaigning against "Union Nôw" lan, whicl is uothing more than Jewisl Internationalism. Its chief apostle in this country was thc Jewisl international journal- ist, Clarence Streit." From wlence cames that total falselood about as fine a type of yaung square-shooting Amenican newspaperman as I lave ever met r-who is incidcntafly froni an evangelicai Protestant Christian home, much like that o! the Aber- harts near Georgian Bey, Ontario? Prom this Social Credit sheet. Cougîlin explains that as early as June 27 this Australian journal hbd descnibed federal union as "treason." TIat is, a wlole year a!ter Mr. Churchill had actuaUly o! fered federal union ta France, and after hundreds of Bnitons, in- cludiug'the Archbishop o! York, Lord Beaverbrook, and many oth- ers lad urged union witl U. S. - after all this the Social Crediters and Father Coughlin could agree that it was "treason." One might well ask: Treason ta whom? TYPICAL TRICK On what grounds does this Aus- tralian writer oppose British- American union? Because tIc British Jewish banker, Sir Victor Sasoon, la in favor of anc or other o! the dozen or marc sudh pro- posais being discusscd. One swallow may nat make a sumnier. But anc Jewisl banker la final and canvincing proof ta, thc Social Crediter and Father Cougîlin tint tîla la a deep seat- cd world-slaking Jewish conspir- acy. It la on a par with Congress- man Day's argument that because a British Arclbislop favors f ed- cmal union, its consunimation wauld mean thc end a! Catholic- ism lu U. S. Wlat intercsts me most is Pa- tler Coughlin's conclusion. He writes: "Prom thc above article-quite different frai thc ncwspapcr propaganda f cd ta us -we learn tint nat ail members a! tic British Empire and ail citi- zens tierco! lave swallowcd the haly warlsm and tice6iate-Hitier- Thus Social Crediters are not only suppiying Father Coughlin with material for their joint cani- paigu agninst Federai union. Tis self-sanie naterial la uscd by this arci enemy o! Bnitain ta inipede the work o! those Americans wlo arc trying ta get their country ta stand shouider to slaulder with Britalu for tIc defence o! what la icft a! -frec lumanity. I n undcnstand the position o! a',fervent Social Crediter wla so firnxly bcllcved in lis mone- tory theonies that he would op- pose federal union, if the lustitu- tiogof sudh an lnternatozjal au thotity meant that it migît be difftcuit or impossible for tieni tilereafter ta get their pet plan in operation. I cannot, of course, agree witl tleni. After two warld wÈrs ina twenty-!lvc years tic oniy sure safeguard I know againat a tird la tic setting up a! an Intdmnational police union whlch will impose lé sanie kind o! peace among le nations as we have iocaliy and withln aur boun- darles. But the best Iroof I sec tînt Social Crediters are not sin- cere in their apposition is tiat if tînt wcre tic reai basis o! ticir opposition tley would oppose- flot tic general idea-but merely one Item in it. The fact is Social Crediters arc playlniz Hitler's ame no iess than Father Coughin's. Tic sooner ahl Social Crediters ask wly thc bet- ter.

It takes my mind back ta the days when I suggested that the numn erous Ontario folk wla were join- ing the Klu Klux Klan were plain fish. I slowed that tley were paying ten dollars apiece for an- tiquated nigltshirts which, since the advent o! pyjamas, could not be given away at any price. For that anc Kiaveru o! the Kanadian Klan burned the fiery cross, at least on paper. They sent me an anonymous embossed let- ter warning me of dire thiugs ta happen. Sa the anonymous article writer in the Social Credit argan breathes similar threats. But wlereas thc Klan could at least write articulate English the So- cial Credit apologist becomes sa hysterical with convulsive rage that it is lard ta make out what he is trying ta say. Obviously le is mad at me. He writes, i the issue of Oct. 9th: "Thc author af these raving tirades is a fellow by name o! Elmore Philpott ..-. If Mr. Phil- pott las read lu question then le must be bllnd ta reasan (and dumb inta the bargain) besides being deliubrately dishanest. . .'l This rather remarkabie out- burst. was caused by the fact that in my daiiy articles for varlous papers in Canada I pointed out severai points o! affinity between paid Nazi agents in the United States and some <not ail) Social Crediters in Canada and else- wlere. 3-Every buildingK trades employer with tes or More emnpioyees. 4-Every other private employer with fifty or more employeca.
