"There is only one thing which I sometimes tear," he said, “It is that when successes begin there may be some weak-minded cry in this country for a premature peace.

He did not live to see, not Belgium alone.I but Holland and Denmark and Norway and Poland and the Balkans‘ and Greece, sounding to the tramp of the Prussian jackboot. He did} not live to see what we then broadly called a World War become world- ( wide indeed until its bloody fingers reached out to touch every con- tinent and every ocean. He didn't live to see it, but he foretold it, We were tired of war in 1918. as we are “red of war in 1943. The relief from the lifted threat tends to soften our determination now. as it was softened then. We were ready to accept an assurance that in our hearts we knew was not true-that Germany had learned her lesson and had ceased forever to be a menace. We have seen the accelerated pace of war making the holocaust of Mrt4-t8 seem a gentle thing beside the expanding horror and brutality ot the tour past years. Surely we have no need to learn that lesson If we do, then I960 will see our children face a tragic blood bath in which Warsaw and Nanking and Ledico are only a pale beginning.

"The residue of the abnormal-chronic idlers, shirkers and obstruct- ors--wou1d be dealt with. along with other mentally unfit persons. in corrective institutions." This is not a quotation from Mein Kampf or from a Gestapo manual-although it might well have been derived from one of those sources. It is contained in one of a series of editorial articles on "Planning Postwar Canada" that have appeared in The Canadian Forum. the high-brow organ of the. COP. Party "The residue of the abnormal" is particularly good. An Oxford Englishman might say "It is extremely funny, by Jove!" But it was obviously coined by thc delicate hand of a female socialist or a pro- fessor of the same ilk. and a humorous interpretation can therefore he dismissed. The same applies to the words "corrective institutions," which is the C.C.P. equivalent tot “internment camps." These Canadian socialists are more refined in their terminology than the forthright Nazis. and their corrective methods as applied to "obstructors" of the COP postwar plan would. presumably. be a form of rcftned torture. , But there is something to be said for the Nazi method of shooting or chopping oft the heads of the obstructors of the National Socialist plannincs. " is more business-like and effective. and perhaps more humane. Anyway. the Forum's pronouncement on what will happon to the "otrstruetors" ot the C.C.F. postwar plan should come as a tinwly warning to "the residue ot the abnormal-The Printed Word. By Carolyn Cox David Sim has just been named a Deputy Minister in Ottawa, of the Customs and Excise half ot the Department of National Revenue. That's a nice post, Deputy Minis- ter,--'Nops" at the non-golltical fieers, adminierative be. of any Department. The Government makes the appointment. not the Civil Service Commission. So when a normal civil servant lands a de- puty-ship, he is well ttxed, hopes to weather any succeeding storms till his retirement, which usually isn't far on. But not so Dave. He is only forty-tour. He is a civil ser- vant, has a wife and family and is midstream in the process of buy- ing a house in the Capital. But he is no more ttxed than the west wind. He is Just well on his way. After four years in the thick of Ot- tawa war ',T,'l'l'J", and overwork, he is ttt as a ddle and raring to Co, ready for any adventure, It is probably a toss up whether his next landing ground will be Ca- binet Minister or corporation head. He certainly ttasn't "jetted" as a "bureaucrat". Sim is not only of Scottish an- cestry on both sides; he was born and formed in Glasgow before he came out here.

When the “nth Battalion sent its best men over- seas to reinforce the First Cuna- dian Infantry Battalion. Dave went along. So he found himself on No- vember 6, 1917. shot through the abdomen at Passehendaie, left to die in the midst of the battle. However, five surrendering Ger- mans gathcred him up as their passport for safe Ramon through the Canadian lines. carried him to a field station ‘and thus saved his life Long recuperation in England bad its compensations with leaves to visit all the aunts and cousins in Scotland. but there wasn't 'ee enough doing to keep Dave out of) mischief.

In the Bank ot No. va Scotia, as in everything else he has tackled since, his progress was a balloon ascension. Within a year he was in the "case”. handling the cash, in three or tour acting pro- accountant. In 1924 he had to rush the gun again. For years he'd m in the same choir with Ada Helen Inrig, but came the day when he discovered he wanted to marry her. The Bank of Nova Scotia doesn't let its young gentlemen marry on anything less than “500 a year. and it only valued Dave at $13M in 1924. So Dave left 'em. walked tight out of a good certainty for the adventure of marriage, Just as he will no doubt walk out of the Ottawa civil service one day for adventure.
