That ia-poor id with ituation e above [t ia now no secret that a local civilian committee has been formcd to cooperate with miitary officers in an intensificd drive for men for the miitary services. A report o>f an organization meeting at Hcadquarters, MK.D. No. 3 Kingston, appeared in last week 's Statesman. The editor, as a member of the committee, joins with it in a pledge to strive forward in an effort which many eJaim to be the asat drive prior to more ef- fective means. Similar committees are oper- ating ail over Canada. At the organization ]meeting, it was stresaed very elearly by the military, .that this was "go vernment policy". 'Thn, many who disagree with the goveru- mDent, now lend their time, money and atrength for the sake of Canada rather than a political regime. Latcst of a long liat of observers and ex- perts to voice conccrn with "government- policy" is Brigadier George P.* Vanier, D.S.O., M.C., distinguished Frcnch-Canadian veteran of the asat war, and subsequently Canadian Miniater to France. Hie joins bis equally distinguished compatriot, General LaFlcche, in frank statements: The present "ystem "doca not meet our needs" and "I arn worried, terribly worricd." Yet the Prime Minster maintains that to institute the fairest and most effective metjiod of allaYixg these "worries" would offend both these distinguished Canadians and their pro- vincial compatriots. Civilian committees are requircd toaeacede ta this vew.. tempor- arily, at least. With the seriouaneas of the situation thua frankly made known, with the decision of the gavcrnment go clearly defined, and with thec resolve of the cammittees sincerely pro- elaimed, The Statesman solemnly and sincere- lY urges upon the publie generally and those particularly Who should offer themacîves for service, anywhere, in this criais, to corne for- 'ward and make this drive a succcss. Back of it ail, as it may now grirnly be said, is the resolve of strong men that if this fails, men iuat be brougbt forward and thrust, ignominiously, into the breaeh.
