PAc,F,s,a sETnImks ITSELF
lChicago Herald)

Stirred by the just criticisms
which the report of his attitude
toward employees who are mem
bers of the National Guard or who
enlist for the present emergency
has excited all over the country,
Mr.. Ford has condenscended to
explain:
He now says that Ford En-
ployees who are members of the
Michigan militia will be received
back by the company without pre-
judlce when they have completed
their services in the guard. Re-
ports that Ford employees who an
sWer the call to arms would be dis
charged are without foundation"
He also intimated that the fami-
lies of employees who go to the
border will be provided for.
, The explanation does not wholly
explain and the assurances are
vague. TO receive an employe
back without prejudice" may
mean that his job will be kept for
him or only that he will be receiv
ed back in case there in an open
ing when he returns. In any
event, there is no intimation that
the pay will be continued, as so
many patriotics employers have
promised.
The significant thing about the
statement is the fact that Mr..
Ford felt called on to make some,
sort of statement. Paciflsm
has evidently bethought itself and
realized that an attitude of OPP
position to the patriotism of the
nation is uncomfortable, impoli-
tic and essentially unwise.

owe that two courses of action


ole that two courses of action
were open, except to the extreme
irreconcilables in South Africa:
and the response which the co.,.
onies made to the empires need
was in some respects more re-
markable than England's own.
Never again can there be any
question as to where the colonies
stand in their relation to the en-
prize, nor any doubt as to the en-
istence of an imperial unity which
is in all essential respects ma
tional. Never before has it been
shown nor is it likely that it can
ever be shown again in so drama
tic a way that in the modern
world geographical distance has
