GEO. W. JAMES, Editor. Col. Geo. A. Drew Released One of the most amazing precedenits ini Canadian jurisprudence ivas establishied ou July 10, 1942, when the Crowui withidrew a charge against Col. Geor'ge A. Drew. veter- an of world w-ar 1, and leader of is 'Ma- jesty's loyal opposition in the legisiature of the province of Ontario. It will bec eem- bcred that Col. Drew ivas noiîîated as counsel for federal Conservative leader iii the llong IKouoenquirv- instituited iunder Commissioner Sir Lymaný P. Duff. Wheil the fi.udings were made public. Col. Dreiv ex- pressed amazemieut that !erýtain blWood- curdliug facîs" apparentiY were liot takeil into accouiit. His protest \vas miet proniptIv by the goverumnent acting tlirouirli Hou. 'Mr. St.Laurent, .NMiister of Ju1stice.- The charge w-as 'breacli of fiie Defene of Canada Reguilatioiis'. and to average perception it w-as a charge bordering on trea- son ; an attempt to slow up recruitiug. 111 due course Col. DreN- appeared ini crixniinal court and deinanided that tiie case be pro- ceeded witli. Crowil couinsel demnurred anid wanted "lime" to 1repare a case witlî all the facts at his disposaI. A remnaud for a week found the saine Crown agent corne imb court to ask of thie police mnagistratee that the charge be withdraw-î. Thiat was grrant- ed but Col. Drew wvas denied thie riz-ht to make a statement bearing iuponi the prose- cutor*s remarks. Readers ma-,- forni their own opinion about "steain roller- tacties. Two weeks ago Tîhe Statesmian carried a two-columni story of thie Bloocuidliiig Facts of Houg Komg" as revealed 1)v Prime Minister Knin *Hi.1ansard. t-pon thiat alone Col. Drew eould well rest his case. But the desire. apparently. was to -smear- George Drew or to gag huîin or to balance sirilar action taken against Chalhoult ini Quebec. But they reckoned without tlhe public 's reaction and partîcillarlv tlîat of the old soldiers of world w-ar 1.
