EDITORIAL NOTES The result of the current Victory Loan Campaign is going to mean more to Canada that ihe raising of 600 million dollars or 750 million dollars. With the campaign under- way but a few days, there was evi- dence from widespread sections of Canada that the spirit of the people was being quickened by this drive for money. The canvassers for the Flesherton, Artemesia and part Os- prey district are: H. W. Kernahan, G. A. McTavish, T. J. Fisher and J. A. Richards. Their splendid work during the past week has kept the district ahead in the amount sub- scribed. The committee hopes to obtain their objective this week and it remains to be seen how much will be oversubscribed. The message of the Victory Loan Torch in itself is enlisting thousands upon thousands of men and women into a more active service for the country at war. All Canadians in the Dominion are joining ns one in send- ing this message of cheer to the hard- pressed peoples of the British Isles. And in that very act, the Can- adian hi the east has been drawn closer to the Canadian in the west. Without doubt, Canadian unity be- comes more of a reality every day. No one would be seriously chal- lenged, who pushed forward the thought that the rift between the Ontario government and the Federal jrovemment over taxation policy will be healed by this strengthening of nnlty across the country. Those people in Ontario who were expressing fears a short while ago that the Dominion government and the Federal Department of Labor was favoring the union worker and was showing discrimination against the employer may now possibly ehantre their minds, following the department's action against strikers fn Toronto and Montreal who quit tnrir Jobs nf war work hofore asking for n conciliation hoard meeting. There sppms to ho little reason now to donbt the determination of the Department of laSor In preventing mrnlled-for delays In Canada's pro- duction of war materials. The wam- rntr from Ottawa that these strikers fuend the dnnppr nf nrrest came with <" the morn fnrco after tho pnlsodp *t TTamiHon. whnrp the donnrtmr-nt tho trikors and tnok over tbo management of the Hamilton plant. Apparently, neither the employed nor the employee will be" spared from now on, when the country's vital in- terests are at stake. Citizens may also read into these recent developments the- first hint that the government is about to use its wartime powers to make sure that nothing impedes production. The people of Canada are promis- ing the people of Great Britain that they will provide the tools to finish the job. And without doubt the people of Canada will back their gov- ernment in taking whatever steps are necessary to keep that promise. * * The contributions of the Priceville and Feversham district to the Tele- gram British War Victims' Fund have been wonderful efforts and speaks well for the co-operative spirit of the community to do their bit in relieving distress in the Mother Country. The former raised |700 from their sale, collection of old iron, etc., and the latter $775 from their sale, contributions and booth. Well done! REV. G. R.
