SIDNEY AND ISLANDS REVIEW AND SAANICH GAZETTE, PAGE THRED

THURSDAY. OCTONER 9, 1919 :

WEEN, on the morning of November 11th; 1918, the guns were hushed and

glad tidings flashed across the world, there followed with the Nation’s
Prayer of Thanksgiving, one yearning query, which found echo in the faster beat-
ing hearts of wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and sweethearts. That
query was, “How soon will our boy be home?” And, from France and Flanders,
from Italy and Egypt, from Palestine and from far-off Siberia, there came an
answering echo, ‘ How soon, how soon, may we go home?”

CANADA caught the spirit of these longings, and at once resolved to satisfy

them. It was an appalling task. Shipping was tragically scarce. The com-
position of the Army of Occupation had not then been settled. And other parts of
the Empire as well as Canada were looking for the speedy return of their men. |

THE problem was this. The half-million men that Canada had overseas had
taken more than four years to transport to the field of battle. To bring
them home in a few months was a gigantic undertaking—one to tax all Canada’s
ingenuity and resources. Canada solved the problem, but it meant crowding into
a few short months, an expense for demobilization which it was impossible to foresee.

HEN, too, besides the sentimental aspect of the necessity for bringing the ‘men
home quickly the economic side could not be overlooked. That was, to trans-

form efficiently and speedily the nation’s army of fighters into a national army of
workers.
