Warning from a Warrior
Back from war-pinched Britain to prosperous Canada came R.C.A.F. Group Captain Denton Massey (cousins: Actor Raymond Massey, Canadian Diplomat Vincent Massey). In the House of Commons, Group Captain Massey took his old seat. Last week he spoke:
"I have seen only three Canadian cities . . . but what I have seen is to me as alarming as it is tragic. ... A nation enjoying the greatest prosperity in its history. . . . There is an almost carnival spirit anticipating victory. . . .
"No beachhead will be established on the steps of the European fortress without the payment of a ghastly price. As I see it at the moment, Canada is all teed up for a sickening shock. ... I can say nothing more earnestly and sincerely than I say this: . . . away with petty politics, away with fatuous and useless wrangling."
