shells have been dropped on Canadian soil and enemy submarines nave taken their toll of shipping in the territorial waters of Canada.True, the shelling of the wireless telegraph station at Estevan on Vancouver Island Saturday night created little damage and the submarine which recently sank n number of ships in the St.Lawrence Hiver apparently limited its operations to a single foray, bul the fact remains that these developments have taken place.And slill the Government at Ottawa, headed by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, prefers to waste ils time and that of the country generally in mending and maintaining its political fences in preference lo devoting its attention to the serious problems which arc facing Canada today.With (lie war at a far distance, with the enemy held far away across the sens, a certain excuse might have existed for Ibis complacency, for this altitude of politics before business, but with the Axis raiders knocking at the very entrance lo the country, it is time for a change in this altitude.True, considerable progress has been made in the war effort of the Dominion to date.Large numbers of men have volunteered for the active service force?army, navy and air considerable groups have been called for compulsory military training for home defence, the production of arms and munitions have expanded to a remarkable degree, coastal defences have been improved and many cur-iailments placed on the normal life of civilians.Bui behind everything can he seen the hand of politics.Advances have been limited in this direction for fear ihe feelings of a certain group might lie hurt, something else has been held back lest it interfere with Ihe activities of certain other interests.Never has there been a complete, all-out effort.Everything that lias been done lias been on a half-hearted basis, holding the speed down as far as possible lo the least willing elemenls of the community, generally on the grounds of maintaining national unity.But the world situation i?too serious, the North American outlook is too grave'for this lo continue any longer.The Government must lake the aggressive leadership, not only to help preserve Ihe liberties and freedom of the Canadian people but to maintain their self-respect, among the nations of Ihe world.The war must be won and the Government must take the lead in winning it.No small group can any longer lie allowed lo stand in the way of progress to vieton.lions the Germans could attack either the Middle East or Egypt.The greatest danger is that Hiller may not only stage a violent air offensive against Egypt, but may also reinforce Rommel with air-borne troops and supplies.Therefore control of the air over Egypt becomes a matter of paramount importance, and it will be surprising if Britain is not urging the immédiate dispatch of substantial air reinforcements from the United Stales.The capture of Tobruk may permit Rommel to make a quick stab at Egypt.He will want to camli the British defenders before air and other reinforcements can reach them, and while his army undoubtedly is weary from the lerrific pace it has been keeping, and the even more terrific summer lient of the desert, he likely expects quick reinforcements.Thirty Years Ago FROM THE RECORD FILES AT THE NORTH PACIFIC CROSSROADS LAVAL SHOWS HIS REAL COLORS Pierre Laval, trailor-extraordinary and puppet Chief of (he Government of France, has finally come out in his true colors with the declaration to the world yesterday that \u201cI desire Germany\u2019s victory because of the Red peril.\u201d While his views have long been known, Hie arch-collaborationist had never before placed them before his people so bluntly.He sought no neutrality or passive resistance.He asked| for Hie wholesale support of his people for the German cause, even going so far as to suggest that French industry be stripped of its workers to supply the help so badly needed by Germany to operate its war production machine.To the people whom he has double-crossed and deceived over since he was given a chance of public office lie holds no hope for belter conditions in Hie future, dearly indicating that, they must lake a very minor place in Hie Europe dominated by Adolf Hitler and his gang.They must become the hewers of wood and tire drawers of water for Ihe Nazis, in return for which they may receive bare subsistence rations from their overlords.At the same lime he dashed all hopes for the freedom of the millions of French prisoners of war now held in German prison camps.This had long been one of his main arguments for collaboration Eastern Townships cavalrymen in camp at Farnham are celebrating a red letter day today, the camp receiving a visit from H.R.H.the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Canada.The construction industry in Sherbrooke faces a record summer, more than $500,000 worth of buildings being planned, including factories, hospitals, office buildings and private houses.The class
