They say it is inefficient; and slow. That it never knows what to do in a crisis. That it is bungling; that it can neither serve its citizens nor protect them from exploitation. The: econonyig preparation for war 'which has béen going on inh Canada and Great Britain for months--even years--is-one™of the most amazing stories in the annals of government. Great Britain had her~ plans laid months ago. Hundreds of men were appointed to special jobs--jobs which would come into being the hour war was declared. Plans were complete, even to 'code words and new telephone numbers for their new offices. Canada's organization for war was much less complete before war came but has since moved at a rapid pace toward finality. In the first Great War it was not until November, 1916, that the Canadian Government took any action to oversee prices of supplies and essentials, This time the Wartime Prices and Trade 'Board was set up four days after war was declared. The Foreign Exchange " Control Board suddenly seized control of our entire business with the rest of the world, conserving our exchange resources, protecting our security markets from capital flight. The War Supply Board was createdi an enlarged version of the former Defense Purchasing Board 1 that had been set up following ex- posures of favoritism and incompe- tence in awarding of tontracts for war needs. The hour war was declared Royal Canadian Mounted Police picked up enemy aliens, "known or suspected of being hostile to the Dominion. Canada is too little aware of this body or permanent officials. They are the men who keep the administration -going; who give some of the depart- ments of government high efficiency and integrity. Will ] Some of these men are better Known in Washington, London, and Paris, than they ave in Toronto or Edmonton. In those world capitals their abilities are appreciaed. In one or two cases, a much higher price than Canada pays has heen -offered for their skill--so far without success. Other special "servants minion are those who have beck called in from inportant posts in industry to "do special jobs, like Wallace R. Camp- bell, president of the Ford Motor Co. of Canada ltd, or R. C. Vaughan, Vice-President of the C.N.R., both directing the work of the War Supply Board. Many of these are dollar a vear men. Others are doing big jobs at government pay and at serious monetary cost to themselves. Canada's organization for war is on no small scale. The object--mak- ing ourselves economically great' and making the biggest possible contribu- tion to Allied victory--has the unani- mous support of all loyal citizens. But the obligation of every Canadian is to see that our traditional liberities are restored to us, undiminished, when war is past. Winning the war is now the national object. greater than all others." --Financial Post -- --_-- PRINTING: Of all kinds done: at the Port Perry Star Office-- Posters, Sale Bills, Commercial Stationery, Booklets, Folders, Catalogs, Wedding.
