ernor, the Associated Press reported.
Meanwhile, State Senator Vivian

said, ito be associated over period
of some years with Mr.. Darden in
the public service-first at Rich
mond in the State government and
then at Washington. In both places
he soon rose to place of high in
f1uence. enjoying the respect and
confidence of all who came in con-
tact with him. Undoubtedly, he will
be the next Governor of Virginia.
I predict that the holding of that
office will be but prelude to wider
national service"
Senator Byrd appealed for all-out
aid for Britain, denounced strikes
in defense industries and reiterated
his demand that Secretary of Labor
Perkins give way to a man in this
crisis.

that all men do not have the right
OF suffrage.
I'VE are one of the eight States
In the Union that provides that in
order to vote in elections there
must be the prepayment of a poll
tax" he said. This tax must be
paid monthly before the election to
be had. -.-..A As result it is we'll

of poll taxes in blocks"

Then came that line in the

chester-missing, believed killed.
It jolted John Canada into
realty. Young John was his
nephew, his namesake, his god
son. He had been born on the
western prairies, the most un-
warlike spot In the world. He
had been born after the return
of his father from the Great
War.
And now young John has gone
down fighting on his little Ca
madam destroyer.
Johns brother Harry was in
the Canadian Active Service
Force, somewhere in England,
standing guard. The husbands
Of Johns three sisters were in
the army and air force. Johns
people were certainly doing
their bit.
John Canada reflected. Here
in Canada the war had seemed
50 remote. Canada had felt she
should spring to arms when the
blitzkrieg started. She felt
more intensely about it than
her good neighbor, the United
States. John had come to take
it for granted that the way of
living In Canada and the United
States ran In parallel lines. Whist
happened in the United States

This time it was the other way
around.
WHAT-NO

John Canada sat down to
breakfast. It wasn't the old pre-
war breakfast. The finance min
ister had announced that Canada
must live more to herself. She
must not import anything she
did not really need. The for
eign exchange situation had
stepped In.

This exchange situation, he
reflected, played hob with his
affairs. His New York trip had
been one obstacle after another.
He had to apply to his bank for
American funds and had filed
out forms explaining why 1t was
necessary for him to 60 on bus
iness. They would allow him
no more money than for his ac-
tual needs, and on leaving and
fe-entering Canada he signed q
swornstatement as to the amount
of Canadian money he had taken
out or brought back.
