SINCE SEPT. 3, 1939 TIME HAS BEEN THE DOMINION OF CANADA'S 2ND FRONT PAGE. LAST NIGHT THE D.O.C.'S AIR WAVES WERE LAVISH BUT SINCERE IN THEIR PRAISE OF TIME'S [AUG. 10] CLASSIC WORD PICTURE ON LIEUT. GENERAL ANDREW G. MCNAUGHTON OF THE CANADIANS. I BELIEVE, AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS LIKE ME, THAT IF CANADA'S SCIENTIST IN KHAKI WERE GIVEN HALF THE FIGHTING CHANCE HE AND HIS CANADIANS DESERVE HIS BERLIN-POINTED DAGGER WOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO STRIKE HARA-KIRI AT THE BELLY BUTTONS OF HITLER'S BARBARIANS. . . . I BELIEVE THAT...
...destroying each other in a global war, the way is being prepared for restoration of Ttahuantinsuyu ("the Four Quarters of the World") to the Indians. He himself may never see that day. But to his son, Prince Calvino Luis Felipe Huaraca Duchicela, may come his rightful heritage: dominion over all the lands between Quito, Ecuador, and the Maule River in Chile.

There was a counter-threat that, if the British jailed all Congress leaders, the aged and frail Gandhi might die a martyr's death. Sir Stafford hinted that Gandhi's actions were treasonable...
These two assets started to pay off in 1937, when the Canadian Government hand-picked Johnson to organize and operate Trans-Canada Air Lines. He did a real job: by 1939 Trans-Canada's Lock-heeds whizzed all over the Dominion, kept a fabulous 98.1% of all schedules. Then came the call P.G. had waited five years to hear-the U.S. wanted him back. The company: Boeing. The situation: terrible. Waterlogged with the first gush of World War II aircraft orders. Boeing had a rheumatic production line, a small scatter-trained working force, a two-year deficit...
