"Very well, Joan, I‘ll take the massage," says Mother, "and you can run over again with it later." Ever since Joan‘s mother agreed to take a message or two for them, most telephone calls seem to be for the neighbours. Not because they can‘t afford telephone service; almost everybody can, now.

With the permission of the House, he went to search for the missing bit, found it, and here it is: "If there were a prospect of an agâ€" gressor launching an attack on Britâ€" ain, with bombers raining death on London, I have no doubt what the decision of the Canadian people and Parliament would be. We would reâ€" gard it as an act of aggression, menâ€" acing freedom in all parts of the British Commonwealth.

In concluding, Mr. King said that in spite of the shock to the world‘s, cenfidence, there was no reason to despair of peace or to cease working for it, and he warned the totalitarian states that they cowÂ¥$d not win over the "limitless moral and material reâ€" sources" that wow1d be arrayed aâ€" gains‘ them. + suggested to meet the jsituation.

But, in response to Mr. Chamberlain‘s suggestion of a consultation with the members of the British Commonâ€" wealth, France and various other powers, Mr. King said: "So far as Canada is concerned, the government is readv at any time to take part in such consideration, to join in conâ€" sultation with the United Kingdom and such other countries as would be appropriate." It is impcortant to sift rumour from fact, to know whether trouble comes as a result of agitation and propaâ€" ganda, or economic pressure, or of military force, the Prime Minister thought. and equally important to kncw exactly what policies are being In referring to Mr. Chamberlain‘s speech at Birmingham, he repeate‘ Dr. Manion said that personal lib erty and parliamentary institutions of democracy are at stake; that it was a case of democracy and Christianity against Hitler‘s totalitarianism.

In characteristically strong lanâ€" gualge, the leader of the Opposition condemned the action of Hitler, pro tested his love of peace: "If there is only a five per cent chance in faâ€" vor of peace, I am in favor of peace," the democratic, civilized and Christ ian peoples of the world agrinst Hitâ€" ler‘s domination.
