THE LIBERAL. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO “Canada, by accident of geogra- phy,” continued the speaker, “has a chance to 'be the dominant .body in air commerce. The shortest air route from Europe is across Iceland and Canada. The .same holds true for countries from the far East who Wish to trade with- Western p0wers. We are going to find that in the future all the great air routes of the world will pass over Canada. When the war is over a ohange wilh the effected‘ in the whole world, said' the speaker, and Canada should be prepared for that change. “While we prepare for war we should be thinking, talking and» building- for the time 1f peace. It is going to mean a readjustment that will!) strain every one of our resources." “I have V the great a in peace as of British su Canadian 5“ standing tog for all time Taking lit made of Germany’s gigantic air ar- mada, Co].

Canada, he said, is being lvookedi to by the British authorities to play a major role in that service. employment by air comn Canada’s diesrtiny, declared the speaker, is supremacy in the air, both in. times of peace and‘ war. Its major role in this war against Hit- ler will :be in’ the air force, a ser- vice in which Canadians have been able to excel. When peace is estab- lished} Canada must still keep its supremacy in the air, for the geoâ€" graphical position of this; country has fortunately made it an axis for world air routes and the Canadian employment problem must be solved Col. Drre'W looked with d'is'favm‘ at people who are complaining there isn’t enough action in this war- and] demanding reasons why the Alâ€" lies were not attempting to invade Germany. As Britain rules tlve seas, Can- ad'a will rule the air, Col. Geo. Drew, K.C., told more than 24200 attending the annual York County Wardten's Banquet, in the King Ed‘- wardl Hotel last Thurschy night. Col. Drew urged immediate steps be tak- en- to promote the Dominion into one of the great air powers of the world". As Britain rules the Ma will rule the air, Drew, K.C., told more attending the annual Y STRATEGY OF “FUNNY WAR” IS EXPLAINED BY COL GEO.

Drew. “In. ithig war, Germans are not on one foot of French soil. Nor is it my. belief that the Allies want one foot of German soil. This war we are. fighting is not a war of aggression. but a fight to end: the Nazi regime. in Germany, to destroy Hitler in. Germany. The same Hitler is go: ing- to have a problem keeping the German \people together this winter. if he can’t win some great land‘ vic- tory." “W‘hen one realizes. that the Brit-' isih battleships in a few days swept‘ from the seven seas every vestige of German vessels, you can see how Germany is going to be beaten inl this war. Britain is supreme on the! seas and- her blockade will be un-.' breakable. _A few pocket hattleâ€".. ships might sneak out now and! then. but they will ‘be quickly driven back to cover. It’s on the sea that this War is going to be won." One of the greatest advantages. of the Allies is their superior gen1‘ erals and officers. “Some people.‘ have foolishly become obsessed: with the idea of Genman smrperâ€"ert‘ficiency,". he said. “It’s unwarranted fear. Germany has not one single senior officer who can compare with either of the tWO men at the head] of the British force nor with the command. r er-in-chivef of both the British and. French armies," he said. “Germany. did have a great leader two years ago but because he married a stem- ' grapher he was fired' by Herr Hit-. ler. With him went also the great officers of the German army. In. their places came .ne'w'inexperienced' menâ€"«men who couldn’t even be compared with the skill and] effi-‘ ciency of the leaders of the British force. Britain has been blessed with having two great soldiers like ‘Tiigâ€"‘l er’ Geri: and! ‘Tiny’ Ir‘onsides, while in Marshal Gamelin France has its. most brilliant military technician since Napoleon. While closer to home Canada has as fine a soldier as ever led a battalion in battle in' General McNaughton.” Plenty of Action Col. Drew said he has frequently‘ “heard: people tenming this war as' the “funny war." Others had! voicedi‘ views on the lack of news and, in their opinions, lack of action on the part of both sides. The number of troops on either: side or the actual location of battles‘ is going to be secondary in this war, according to the speaker. The mosti iim’piortant weapon is an adequate ‘ supply of modern technical equip. ment for war, he said. ] “Usually those who shout the loudest for Wood are the most. cow: ardly in a crow ,” he said‘. “There has been plienty orf uctlton so far in this war. Scores of ships have been sunk, cities and naval basesv bombed and heavy fighminlg' in the air with many casualties.” The personal message from the King appearing on the front of each Bilble issued to Britain’s military and civil defence forces deserves widespn ad notice. It reads as folâ€" lows: “To all serving in my forces by sea or landl or air, and indeed to all my people engaged in the defense of the realm I necommenld‘ Uhe reading of this book. For cen- turies the Bible has been a whole-- some and strengthening influence in our national life and it behooves -us in these momentocs days to turn with renewed; faith to t'he d’ivin-e source of comfort and inspiration." As a text-book for soldiers on- ac- tive service and a source of comert and consolation to them and to all at this time the Bible, we think, Will compare not unfavorably with ‘Mein Kampf.’ THE SWEET THING! The man in the queue for the theatre felt some one touching his back. Turning round, he saw a. girl about to leave the line. “I‘m going across the road: to get some candy,” she said. “Well, that doesn’t interest me,” said the man. “I know," was the reply, “but I‘ve put a chalk mark on your back in case I fouget my place!” u the meantime, the government the day has a grave responsibil- to see to it that the most careful .vardship is exercised in outlays the job on hand.
