He had come, he said, to dispel 111 d quick-spoke- n and unjust certain "inaccurate statements" concerning Canada's war efforts. That, I felt, was only a part of his mission. I knew that many of the letters written to American congressmen by their constituents were protesting the extension of the military service period on the grounds that the United States, a nation at peace, was asking more of its citizens than Canada, a nation at war. The commissioner spoke. The first misconception which he wished to correct, he said, was the frequent statement that there Is no conscription in Canada, that her youth serve only a few months with the colors and are then returned to civilian life. This is not the case, he said, for every Canadian between 21 and 24 is subject to conscription for defense and for the duration of After four months of inthe wur tensive training these men are assigned to military service within Canada, thus relieving units of the regular army and navy and air force for service abroad The conscripts cannot, by law. be sent outside of Canada, MacDonald explained, but so many have volunteered for foreign service that conscription for this purpose is unnecessary. Canada has more men under arms today than she had at any time during the last war. Forty per cent of Canada's national income is devoted to her war That amount would be effort equivalent, MacDonald said, to reckoned in terms of $40,000,000,000 United States income. For the supplies she sends to Britain, Canada is not paid. The commissioner offered other detailed information, some of which was confidential. Tremendous Effort. Canada has. not been drawn willingly into this war It is true, as the British high commissioner said, that her present effort, in proportion to her population and wealth, is tremendous. But It was not until last May that by orders in council, of military service for the duration the war was established. At first only 30 days of intensive training was required. But now, indefinite service is retroactive and all those were boys who did their 30 days and Die to back called are discharged colors. I could not help thinking of a line from Kipling as I sat there In the transplanted Queen Anne palace which is the British embassy and heard that very earnest Scotsman pleading the cause of Canada. The verse I thought of Is from "Our Lady of the Snows" and Canada "Daughter am I In my speaks: mother's house but mistress In my own," she say? The British commissioner was not for nuking that the United States do for Canada is doing what England her. But I could well imagine that he was talking over our heads to men who would be in heated debate in the senate chamber the next day, deciding what the military duties of a c'tuen of the United States are to be te B K 1 K values, and tl public health aggerated id. accomplish, t! o stun, jectmg these ; r .ducts' staples such as wj correct certm nr , a Mir, cies, but sucb Farm and Horne Hour Commentator.

Why are they bent on visiting the shrine of Liberty? Many reasons reduce to this: In 1941 the liberties of every American man, woman, and child are at stake.
