CANADA AT WAR Canada has not entered the war lightly. We know from terrible experience what a toll of sacrifice and suffâ€" ering is likely to be taken. If the war lasts the three years or more anticipated by the British government hun- dreds of thousands of Canadians will be fighting in Eurâ€" ope to preserve human liberty in Canada. and many thouâ€" sands will lay down their lives. God give us the strength and resolution to see our grim.task through. We have no hate against the German people. Our war is with the Hitler regime. We are fighting. to quote Mr. Chamberlain, “brute force, bad faith, injustice, op- pression and persecution.” We are fighting to preserve the liberty of individual men to control their own destinies, to maintain the doctrine that the state exists to serve men, not to enslave them. Our battle is against the thesis that might is right. We stand for the weak against the tyr- anny of the strong. Victory means that freedom will live in Canada and throughout the world. Poland will continue its separate existence. Czecho-Slovakia will be restored. Denmark, Holland. Belgium, Norway, Sweden and the Balkan coun- tries will no longer fear being swallowed by Germany. Peace will reign in Europe and throughout the western world. Defeat would mean the enthronement of Hitler as the master of the world. Canada would undoubtedly become a German possession, and not one of the small nations of Europe but would lose its right to a free existence. Civil- ization as we know it Would have vanished. Government of the people, for the people and by the people would have perished from the earth. Even in the United States lib- erty would go behind the bars. 1" ~ 1 17-1‘ A.

WHAT HITLER REALLY THINKS 0F RUSSIA The Russian move in the war scene over the weekâ€" end has added new complications to the complex interna- tional situation. It has been evident for a long time that Hitler can turn about as fast as any man 'alive when ex- pediency conflicts with principle. His negotiations with the Soviet is a striking example of this point. Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf, is the Nazi bible and the last word, supposedly, on the Fuehrer’s objectives. A con- temporary has been searching that thick volume and gives us from it these references to Russia and its leaders, writ- ten by the German leader and expressing at that time at least, his honest opinions of the Soviet regime. "V‘Wreflmust never-forget that the regents of the pre- sent-day Russia are common blood-stained criminals, that here is the scum of humanity . . . . . . “fiutrii‘f fie talk about nev} soil and territory in Europe today, we can think primarin only of Russia and its vassal border states . . . . . . W‘V‘The former Russia, divested of its German upper stratum, is. entirely aside from its new ruler’s private plans, no ally for a struggle of the German nation for freedom . . . . . . “Considered purely militarily, in the event of a Ger- mano-Russian war against western Europe, which would probably. however, mean against the entire rest of the world. the relations would be simply catastrophie . . . . . . “The rulers of Russia belong to a nation which com- bines a rare mixture of bestial horror with an inconceiv- able gift of lying, and today more than ever before be- lieves itself called up to impose its bloody oppression on the Whole world . . . . . . . “One does not conclude a treaty with someone whose sole interest is the destruction of his partner. “Above all, one does not make them with parties to whom no treaty would be sacred, since they inhabit this world, not as the advocates of honor and truthfulness. but as. the advocates of lying, deceit, theft, rapine and plundâ€" erlng. v- â€"..c . “If anybody thinks of going into treaty with para- sites, this resembles a tree’s efforts to conclude to its own advantage an agreement wifh _a_ m_ist‘]et‘oe.” x vv-n \, “VIVIA-~wav .u- _.._7 If Stalin and the inner Soviet circle have read Hitler’s book, and it is likely they have, it is impossible to think this reference to the “scum of humanity” was absent from their minds when they made their deal with him. ~ The die is cast. Because of Hitler’s insane greed for power, Septemâ€" ber third found the world plunged into what may be the world’s worst conflict. When the German army entered Danzig and the Corridor, a feeble but longâ€"treasured hope underwent a blackout. Now the tension of uncertainty is over. The Empire entered the struggle “calm, firm and united” against Germany’s challenge to civilized order in the world. tun» V! v- .u Another Apollyon straddled the path of civilization. He, too,â€" had to be encountered and will be slain. The challenge of overweening power was accepted and once more the march of justice is irresistibly begun. Whither its banners are unfurled, the democracies will resolutely follow until Nemesis comes. On the home front we must hold the fort of national unity, being strong in action as we were in voice last May when we loyally shouted, “Long live Your Majesties". The day is now past for petty politics, economic strife and LLLC ou Au "v" r w y u A v . 1.--“, __, c social differences. The national emergency which con- fronts the country now will enable us to unite as no press- ing economic and financial problems did in the last nine years. Politically, commercially and martially, in what- ever part of Canada, we shall conduct ourselves as citizens of a united Dominion. We shall watch and ward over industry, commerce and finance, so that their mobilization will not only be effective now but that their full enlistment will not be allowed to undermine uselessly the foundations of the Dominion in the future. In the complete alignment of our economy on a war-time basis, we shall not be forgetâ€" ful of the peace which is to come. We shall justify the tradition that Canada is a major link in the defences of the Empire. Our resources to the nth degree are England’s and Democracy’s. No prompt- ing on this score is necessary. Our determination to wor‘k unitedly against the rule of force will redouble our efforts all along the line. J.

Truly, “There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will”. Let us catch the torch and hold it high !-â€"Canadian During the present Good-Will Campaign we are ap- pealing for new subscribers to this newspaper. Just why should a family spend three cents a week to get a sub- scription to a weekly newspaper? The answers to this question constitute a document of what the weekly news- paper does in the community. Have you ever thought that three cents a week means just a little less than half a cent each day. It is a very small amount. One item in the advertising columns might easily save you the subscription price for a year. To rent a book you pay more than 2 cents a day, but We have still to see a home in which a book is not laid aside when the weekly newspaper. which costs less than half a cent a dav. comes into the house. 9‘. “u. The weekly paper costs less than any of the follow- ing: four cigarettes. a package of gum, a bar of candy, a cigar. a cup of coffee, one and a half pints- of gasoline, one play on a record machine, checking your hat. a mile ride in your car. And when you finish reading: your news- paper, every other member of the family still can use it, which cannot be said of the other articles.
