CANADA & WAR
GOVERNMENT’S POLICY CRITICISED. (Rec. 12.25.) OTTAWA, May 19. The Canadian press says that Mr Howard Green, Progressive Conservative Member for British Columbia osked the House of Commons for a Governmental declaration on its proposals to help the other nations to defeat the Japanese. Mr Green said that other countries had given undertakings but not Canada “We should know if Canada is at war with Japan or not,” he said. “We may wake up one of these mornings to "find that the Japanese have attacked Canada’s west coast. Canada was the first to declare war on Japan, but apparently, is waiting for the other countries to fight it. lhe Government’s policy seems to be for Canada to turn her back on the Pacific. The Defence Department seems to be'content merely for a holding warin the Pacific. Canadian units should be sent to Australia for battle experience.” _
