BRITISH WAR

Ottawa,

The "Olawa Journal" comments as follows on the bill debated In Parliament recently giving Canada the right to neutrality in a wor in which Britain is engaged.

"We doubt whether people who belleve in such a measure realise what it would' mean.

There could be no other neutrality- none other that any combatant against 13ritain would recognis

"But let there be no mistake about this. No British war is gaing to find this country neutral. The contrary is written in the hearts of the over- whelming majority of our people, and no bill introduced in Parliament, and no decision taken by any Governm ment in this country cum alter or affect that reality."
