LONE CANADIAN TRAPPER
JOINS IN PEACE DRIVE. A lonely Canadian trapper of > Dewey, British Columbia, has sent the following letter (reproduced here in its original spelling) to Viscount Cecil, chairman of the British National Committee of the International Peace Campaign:— “I follow trapping for a living, and this time it is four months since I seen any one, which is not unusual, so keeping in touch with news print, I have a better chance to pick the chai from the wheat, than those who are pulled along in life’s turbulent stream, having watched carefully for some ray of light to appear. “I want to say, your move for disarmament by a world ballot, is the first ray of hope that has appeared, not only in my time, but in all time. in regard to cessation of war, but the vote, to be effective, must be solely for the one purpose, with a clear understanding that force will be used at the end if required, to complete disarmament to the point of sufficient to patroll the seas. If this can be done it will do more for the human race that any Magna Chrata ever did. “I am all for the world crusade, for it seems so insane to drift back not only into tile dark ages, but something the world has never seen. “Please excuse this scratching for 1 am out of practice.’’
