The chances Are that he will return to the com Mons but no announcement is looked for until later in the week. Gravity realized in every direction this morning there was evidence that the govern ment is realizing the Gravity of the hour. One illustration of. This spirit is the decision to discard the tender system in the construction of War works. Under this system it took about six weeks to let a contract. It is now proposed to award contracts direct without any preliminaries whatever. Innumerable possibilities face this country in the present conduct of the War with German armoured columns thundering towards the English Channel the next move May Well be a mass bombing at tack on England. Under these circumstances it is thought impossible j that air training could be carried on there and the Only alternative training ground would be Canada. In such an extremity what this country would need would be flying Fields to accommodate the tens of thousands of British trainees. The impression grows that in keeping with events in France the Oft re Vised Blue prints of Canada s War programme will be thrown to the winds. This is the feeling in the lobbies and the corridors and judging by the wires and letters flooding in from the country it is the feeling of the Public also. Should the Allied forces gain the upper hand in France the situation at Ottawa would become quiet at once. But if events March at their present disastrous Pace further major changes Here would seem to be inevitable. Representative sales reported up to 3 o clock monday. May 20, 1940.
