In the controversy about the release of cer- tain Communists, one fact seems to be disregard- . ed by many -- Does Communistic loyalty to Canada depend 'upon Russian success in arms? . So far we have heard of no change in the purposes of Communism, In the past neither loyalty to the country, nor the consideration of the rights of others, hiive been considered ne- cessary., The great objective has been to force Communism upon our people; to dispossess the owners of property; and to assume the right to advocated, and, where possible, practised. In short, Communism pregents a contest for power by any means available. Allegedly this contest is to be carried on in the interests of the common people. But Com- munistic history has shown that where the com- mon people stand in the way of the Communistic program, no mercy or consideration is shown, Ld * * This sudden tesolve for an "All-Out" war is _ ~~" not impressive. Every loyal citizen with any common sense is for an "All-Out" war. (The trouble with too many is that the "other fellow" must do the fighting and the sacrificing.) What is most important is the ultimate ob- jective of the Communists. Have they truly repented of their former disloyalty? Is their repentance conditional upon the Russian atti- - tude? . Much is being said about freedom of speech, ete. The fact is that we are so close to great loss that we cannot afford to permit anything that is uncertain in loyalty; or that is not de- finitely constructive for the protection of the li- - """birlies of the people as a whole, ~ This is no time to glorify Communism or any other ism. We must put heart and soul into eR "the protection of Canada, the British Empire, 3 2) and the true freedom of humanity., At the recent Labor Total War Rally in Maple. Leaf Gardens, Toronto, Mr. Hepburn said: "There is only one issue that counts today, that of winning the war, and: preserving civilization as --==-We know-it-to-day. . . . . ... So in that regard I find myself to-night among many friends, al- though there are many here with whom I have differed politically in times past." i " Included in those present were two well-known < Communists -- Joseph Salesherg and Norman Freed, the former just released from Don jail, and the latter from internment in Hull prison. _ rule. To gain these ends, force of all kinds was A sof all "good men and true". If these men now whole-heartedly devote their powers to winning the war for human 'freédom from unjust tyranny, well and good, they are now doubly welcome. We need the assistance But we do not need a mere bid for political advantage. The issues are now too great to admit of that. THE MEAT SITUATION Because our butchers kill their own beef, etc, here, there is no shortage for our people. But in centers entirely dependent upon the packers there is a different story, _ Little can be gained by threshing old straw as to what the Government did or did not do in the matter. The question now is,-- "What is the best remedy for the shortage in meat?" The Financial Post has this to suggest in a constructive fashion: "Three Solutions for Meat Problem Time Required One--Increase Beef Cattle Three Years Two--Increase Hog Output .. Nine Months Three--Probibit Sale of Veal ................ Six Months Any or all of these solutions would ultimately free Canada from its meat muddle, but the lat- ter two would do it most rapidly and are gain- ing increasing support." . + + IS THE FARMER TAKING HIS SHARE? ~The amazing- wealth discovered by scientific. research is making the industrial world rich, and" is doing much to help win the war. To mention but two of the newer products--nylon-and plas- tic--is to open up a field of industrial production, greater than the world has formerly known. Nylon is better than silk for parachutes, and plastics can be moulded into an infinite. number of articles, combining 'economy, stremgth and beauty. Much in fertilizers, better types of grain,-ecat-:_ tle, horses, etc., are constantly being produced. But their general use is slow. 4 ; The immediate problem for the research' man is to find a practical use for wheat other than food. - The farmer should find a valuable helper in modern research, : Bi LENE } This is Fire Prevention week. An annual loss of over 28 million dollars, plus more than 200 lives in Canada is something that should be prevented, - Do You Feel Good? Young man that is some" thing for which to be thank- ful; but there is no need to go racing up and down our front street, honking your auto horn, and making as much noise as you possibly can. This is particularly annoying at mid- night when the people are trying to get to sleep after a hard day's work. Of course there are ways in which a young man can be prevented from making a public nuisance of himself. Some day some one is going to become very angry . . . lay a complaint. Court scene, trial and fine follow. But there is no need for this. A little courtesy and common sense would suggest that if you must make a noise at midnight, do it out of town--or else!! fc ein SEER See ow .

He was dead on arrival at Toronto East General Hospital. Mr. Morrish, a compositor for the Bryant Press, died from a cerebral hemorrh- age, 'according to Coroner Dr. W. L. Christie, of East York, who investi- gated. This notice taken from a Toronto paper was startling news to the peo- ple of Port Perry, where James Mor- rish was born some 68 years ago, and where he spent his boyhood and young manhood. It was sixteen months ago since James Morrish was here attending the funeral of his father, George Morrish, a life-long employee of the North On- tario Observer. At that time he was in splendid health. ' James Morrish was thé son of Mr. and Mrs. George Morrish, He re- ceived his education at the Port Perry schools, and for some years he worked with his father in the Observer Office. In 1916 he moved to Toronto and was employed for many years by the Bryant Press, where he was a com- positor. In 1922 he married Vina Aldred, of Scugog Island. One son, William, was born to them. . Both mother and son survive the decegsed. He is also sur- vived by his sister Mrs. T. B. Carru- thers, of Cooksville. James Morrish was highly esteemed by his business associates. ..In Church life he was particularly happy and useful." He was a member of the 'Session of Kinbourne Park United Church, and the Immediate Past President of the Men's Associa- tion. Some measure of the high esteem of the deceased was evidenced in the wealth of floral tributes coming as they did from the Bryant Press, Kin- bourne Park United Church, as well as from many neighbours, relatives, and other: friends. 2 Burial was made in Pine Grove Cemetery, Prince Albert. The grave- side service was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Albert Johnson. Many friends from Toronto, as well as from Port Perry and vicinity, were present at the graveside service, for James Morrish was highly esteemed by all who knew him. - Additions and Corrections re Men on Active Service ~~ Overseas L.
