In Canada we are face to face with somewhat similar conditions and the industrial strikes which, as Premier Leribe : Is Our Salvation to all the people for co-operation, are almost as destructive as war itself. There should be no strikes in Canada. They entail loss all round. And they are an unnecessary survival of a by- gone age, because we now have all the 'necessary machinery of arbitra- tion to settle any disputes which may . arise. Canadians need to arouse them- selves to full recognition of the fact that true patriotism' at this time de- mands the rendering of just as un- selfish service as was given by our soldiers in the war. If the call ot patriotism will not, lead.-men and women to render such. service, then in: self-interest they should do so in order to avert nation-wide depression and unemployment. Our soldiers did not cavil at the long hours of labor they put in for us andour country's cause.
