Established 1878 $dvertising Rates on Application. Running Mitch the irresponsible a close second. in vindicativeness and harping fault finding with Prime Min- ister King is the Toronto Globe & Mail. Constructive criti- cisn. always is in order but the Globe and Mail has gone far beyond the realm of constructive criticism and its daily harpings on anything and everything done by Ottawa stamps its campaign as one clearly labelled “anything to get King”. The Globe and Mail, owned by great wealth and published by a man who has yet to distinguish himâ€" self either in the publishing field or the field of public service has an axe to grind and apparently is willing to stop at nothing to accomplish its purpose. Its editorial columns have long since sacrificed the confidence of the thinking people of Ontario. Despite the constant barrage of unwarranted criticism the wisdom and far-sightedness of those in charge of Canada’s war effort has been vindi~ catcd with the passing of time. The overwhelming evi- denco of the magnificence of Canada’s war effort together with tributes from leaders of all the United Nations, from those who know, is more than sufficient to offset the vitriolic criticism of an editor who is nothing more than a self-appointed arm chair critic. . War costs money was the message of the budget an- nounced last week. However, those who pay only money, still do not know the real meaning of war. Pain, suffer- ing and heart-aches cannot be tabulated or estimated in dollars and cents. RED CROSS IS BEST INVESTMENT FOR YOUR WAR SERVICE DOLLAR There are so many good causes today that the aver- age citizen finds it hard to support all as generously as he would like. Some have their favored war charities and there are people who go out of their way to knock or be- little others. All war work is commendable, and any agency working for the relief of suffering or the exten- sion of help to Victims of war is deserving of our best support. However among all war work activities the Red Cross still stands out as the outstanding agency working for the relief of human suffering. By virtue of its inter- national recognition it is the only organization which can do many types of war work, and it is to its everlasting credit that it has met every challenge of every emergency in this terrible struggle. Don’t harp and quibble over some little story which has probably been started by a fifth columnist. Look beyond the ant hills of petty criticism to the mountain tops of service reached by this organiza- tion and we know you will not hesitate to give and give generously. We honestly believe that the RED CROSS STILL OFFERS THE GREATEST IN SERVICE TO HU- ALL OUT OF STEP BUT “MITCH” Few tears have been shed over the retirement from the Cabinet of Ontario’s irresponsible “Mitch”. It looks now as if the retirement wasn’t entirely voluntary and that he was in fact handed his hat by Premier Conant with the gentle observation “what’s your hurry”. “Mitch” isn't accustomed to being handed his hat and so Saturday night he took a right hook to the chin of the man he select- ed as his successor by calling Hon. Harry Nixon to win the Liberal leadership at the coming convention. In the same speech he hinted again that he doesn’t like Mackenzie King Day by day in every way it looks more and more as if Mitch hasn’t really a very high regard for anyone except himself. And if he could spare a few rational mo- 711211128 to take a real good look at himself he might change his mind on that point. --c ioyal Cafiadian safs “how little gas can I get along on,” and the disloyal Canadian says “how much can I get.” 9AAvu val.

An all-out war effort takes a lot of gasoline. By elim- inating all but necessary car travel Canadians and Ameriâ€" cans can help make sure there’s plenty of gas to take our bombers over Berlin. The expected 1943 offensive is go- ing to sky-rocket military demands. Loyal Canadians have the choice of “stepping on the gas” at home or having our fighting men_“step on the gas” oventhere. by. Giving in support of the Red Cross is a duty and an obligation of every citizen. The work of this organizaâ€" tion is well known to every Canadian and is worthy of the sacrifice of everyone. This is something we can do in assisting the men in uniform who are fighting and giving their lives to maintain the security of this and all coun- tries of the world. _ u 011.111.: 1 ' ‘L .L Awu-A;a.u~an. --.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO By Russell Fox, Richmond Hill Plans of particular interest to North York are already under way at Ottawa to put this Dominion in the forefront of nations with re- spect to air travel after the war. Certain it is that many more air- ports than are now in existence will be required, and North York, bord- ering the city of Toronto, may pro- vide sites for sueh centres. The inâ€" terest of the district, however, is not directed at present so much to that possible development as it is to the importance of such air travel to the Dominion and the role the mem- ber for North York, Co]. the Hon. W. P. Mulovck is taking and will take in developing it. Canada To Have Maior Role In Post War Air Development On both sides of the Atlantic, the quest'on of a possible monopoly of the a‘r traffic of the world is re- ceiving more attention at present than many other post war problems. Mrs. Clare Booth Luce, a member of the United States Congress, let forth a floodtide of talk a short time ago with her “Globaloney” remark to the effect that the United States must icse no loime in planning to control the skies. With many others in Britain, Peter Masefield, air cor- respondent of the London Sunday Times, took cognizance of the sub- ject and said: Canada, Mr. Mulock is making cer- tain, will not have to depend on either the United States or Great Britain for the development of air routes. As with railways and bus services, of course, there is bound to be a certain amount of inter-deâ€" pendence on the part of all coun- tries, but with the thousands of young Canadians now with the R. AF. and the R.C.A.F. and with the war-time acquired skill of Canadian industry to manufacture giant transâ€" ports and other types of planes, the Dominion will be ready “to take to the air” after post war trade and in the delivery of mail just as soon as the signal of peace is given â€"â€" proâ€" V‘Ilded we have the vision to do so. And evidencing that vision Mr. Muâ€" Iock seid recently: “The Bmitish Government appears to be afraid of offending the United States, which not only is building up a virtual monopoly in transport air- craft among the United Nations, but is acquiring nearly all the opera- bional experience on the more Impor- tant air routeé.” lock seid recently: “I think We will have to have our own mail service over the Atlantic.” Of course, as time ‘advances that will involve extension of mail service to other corners of the earth, and carrying the mails by air will be the foundation on which the Dominion will build its passenger and freight air services.” Col. Mulock started air mail de- livery long before the outbreak of war, and he has revealed his con- viction in many ways that the air mail service is here to stay. A few months ago he made kn-0wn the fact that 62,000 airg'raph letters had been received in one day from the United Kingdom. Blue air mail letters for men in the forces, he said also, were running at the rate of 15,000 a day from Canada, certainly an encouraging sign of our progress. On his. return from England late last year, the Postmaster General promised that questions of personnel and equipment for the air mail ser- vice would be taken up with other government departments, and he ex- plained that the United Kingdom would be divided into zones for Can- adian mail purposes with officers for each zone to maintain contact with the men. Thus, in a broad, practical way plans are being made, not only to care for army, navy and air force mail now, but to provide the nucleus of a peace time service that will equal that of any country. To the non-Anglo Saxon, indeed, even now one of the most remarkâ€" able things about the present war is the unity shown by the common- wealth: of the British Empire in shouldering the burdens and responsi- One need exercise little imagina- tion to envision the possibilities of the Pacific and other air mail ser- vices that will certainly come later, the trade and intercourse they will foster with such far flung domin- ions as Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa, the realization they will, in fact, effect of the dream of the greatest imperialists of the century, namely, of a British Empire closely knit in all of its interests, each Dominion with rthe same lofty aspirations, united and determined to maintain the peace of the world.

But when the distance betWeen these do- minions is destroyed by reason of regular and frequent air mail ser- vice, it is not difficult to realize how this spirit of unity will grow into an even more powerful force down through the years. A one time popular saying was that “trade follows the flag.” It was much disputed. If, however, one were to say that trade follows the mails, a great deal of proof of its accuracy could be produced. And so it may safely be assumed that post war Canadian air mail services will have much 'to do with developing the future trade the Dominion is to en- joy n-ovt only within the Empire but with good neighbours to the remote south and elsewhere. And there can be no gainsaying the fact that the part the Postmaster Gen-era! and member for North York is taking as a pioneer sponsor of such global air service will undoubt- edly win for himself as much a niche in the hall of fame as that occupied by such of his illustrious predecess- ors as Sir Alan. Aylesworth and Sir William Mulock, and will reflect as much glory on this constituency as anything any member of the present Commons is doing. Helen Simpson Lyn-ett J. F.
