AT THE HOME OF NEWS SOURCES CONTROLLED. RL'MOL'R LEADS STAMPEDE One of the most dangerous weapâ€" ons in the German szrategy attack. writes Britannicus, the well known British war and political cmimen-i tator, is rumour. Delevcpments in‘ recent weeks moreover have greatly enhanced the effectiveness of this weapon in German handx The swarms of refugees which the Ger-‘ mans drive before them in their a<l-‘ vance, interspersed with German‘ agents, provide an excellent medium‘ for carrying alarmist rumours.‘M0re imiportant still is the occupation by Germany of great sources of Euro- pean news such as Amsterdam and‘ Copenhagen; the virtual cutting off‘ of others, such as Stockholm; and the control of wireless stations and 'of the trans-continental cable and telephone services which Germâ€" any‘s aggressions have [brought her. This has not only resulted in the drying up of sources of reliable neu- tral and in particular of American news, but it has enabled: Germany to apply with renewed vigour heir well-known technique of spreading lies and rumours under neutral guise. Thus the Oslo radio quotes Belgrade when recounting fantastic tales that revolution is hreaking out in France; Budapest quotes 'COIpenr- hagen for a fairy story that French are sueing for a separate peace; Rome quotes Stockholm as authority for a faible that British troops are abandoning France and so forth. All these allegedly neutral reports in; fact emanate from German sources and are without exception. false. Already there are 27 soldiers' wives who have (been widowed- in Canada since the present War start- ed Last Septemfber, to whom the Canadian Government is paying penp sions.

A Decoration Day Service in con- nection with Trinity Church Ceme- tery will be held" on Sunday next, June 9th at 3 o'clock D.S.T. Right Rev. H. J. Hamilton, D.D., formerly Bislmp of Midr-Jaipam, now of Tor- onto, will be the special speaker at the service. A confirmation service was held in Trinity Church a few days ago. .Jighteen candidates Were confirm- cc’, fourteen from Thornhill, three ircm Richmond Hill and one from Scarborough. Bishop Beverley gave a very helpful message. Two tab- lets were dedicated at this service.

The German claim that this is an exclusive right of an ancient Teuton civilization is false. Actually it is the State ensign of Finland, and when soldiers of the German Baltic Conps returned home in 1919 from aiding the Firms in their fight for freedom from Russia (as a re- sult of which Finland regainerl its freedom), they wore the swastika on their haelmets. These soldiers joinefl various post- war organizations opposed to the then German Government and when the Hitler party was formed, they adopted the swastika as their em- bleml. As a matter of fact, the swas- tika is 1‘. relic of many anciimt peo- ples, traces of it having been found in Mongolia and the Orienrt. “TRJOJAN HlORS ”. This empres- sion has peculiar significance today because of the German methods in Norway and other countries â€"â€" hav- ing apparent “tourists” and‘ merchant seamen in a country, who, when the moment is ripe, are revealed as 501- driers and who attempt to wrest vul- nerable points of communication, transport and‘ military significance from the defenders, thus simplifying the task of the main German army of aggression. The method is being called the “Trojan House” trick because of the legendl that over 3000 years ago (a- bout 1184 B.C.), the Greeks captured! the city of Troy by a trick. After trying for over ten years to over- come the Trojan fonces without suc- cess, the Greeks built a huge woodâ€" enr horse and a number of the brav- est Gre-ek heroes concealed them- selves in it. This horse was left just outside the city gates, while the remaining Greek forces apparently withdrew. Thinking that the enemy had given up the fight, the soldiers of Troy opened the gates and pulled in «the horse, then commenced! a feast of rejoicing. While the revelry was at its height, the Greeks within the horse emerged, opened the city gates to let their comnades in and Troy was captured and completely destroyed» LEBENSRAUM (German for “living space”). Germany alleges that she is over-populated and| claims the night to acquire, annex or conquer \by any means other, adjacent, countries to provide “living space” for her peO- pile. Part of this outlook is based» on a belief that a country should be able to subsist entirely on what it is able to grow itself â€" an idea per- haps practicable in ancient days but hardly possible in this modern age of highly industrialized: communities and efficient systems of communica- tion and transport. . .It is to “be not- ed! that the Germans cal10usly Show indifference to similar claims of their neighbouring countries, such as Denmark, Norway, ‘Czecho Slovakia etc. ..The plea is, of course, a thin- ly veiled ‘justification” for arrant aggression and the right to conquer and subdue other countries for the sole sake of the German Reich.

THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Thorn’hill World Wide Objectives In Allied War Aims BRITISH statesmen have been re- proved, [by correspondents in the British commonwealth overseas, for emphasizing the European aspect of Allied war aims. The reproof is fair. It is not mener to alter the map of Europe that Great Britain and her Allies of the Empire are resolved to win the war against Nazi Germany at whatever cost. Their cause and their objectives are worlds-wide. The First Essentialâ€"Order in Europe Yet, although overâ€"emphasis of the need» for building a new order, spe- cifically in Europe is to be regrett- edi, it is wholly natural. The foe whom we fight is a European Power. The occasion of the war was an act of flagrant aggression in Europe. In Europe, as this is being written, lie all 1 warfare. Again, when we come to express our war aims in concrete terms, we must needs ‘begin with the liberation of European states enslaved' to Nazi Germany â€" Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, Nonway. At this stage, it is hard to express other war aims with halrf such sharp definition. The defeat of Nazi Germany in Europe, moreover, is the condition precedenrt of achieving our war aims in the wider world. Until the night- mare dread of attack by Hitler and his hordes has been rinsedi from the consciousness ‘of‘Europe (including therewith Great Britain: and Ireland‘), there will 'be neither the cash nor the opportunity for the larger effort that we burn to make towards worldh wid'e economic and political progress. The world order waibs on. Euro- pean order. Nor- shouldi the extra- European peoples, fighting side by side with Great Britain and France, be aggrieved that this is; so, or comâ€"- pi‘aim that war aims in Europe can! be more precisely expressedl than war aims in their own continents and oceans. Rather they should be proud. For the fumd'amental reason is that in practically every quarter of the world, outside Europe, the bases of freedom and‘ ondered: progress have already been secured. Does North America, does Aus- tralia, or the parts of Africa and Asia where the writ of British and French imperial power runs, live in constant fear of aggression lby a neighbour anmedt to the teeth, follâ€" owed by subjection to a ruthless racial tyranny? What Indians would exchange the position of their coun- try for that of, say, Rumania to- day, completely independent soverâ€" eign state though she 'be? And Thenâ€"World Progress The British Commonwealth is fighting for a chance to work out its own destiny, as a community of nations rising sevierall’y ‘and\ jointly to greater economic weltfare and! po- litical stature. The new world order, which we hope to fertilize with the ashes of the oLdi order in Europe can be expressed in these very terms. There has indeed been grave ag- gression, in this generation, in Asia, and Africa. But what the countries of the British Commonwealth, and} of Franceâ€"Beyond-the~Seas, are chiefly fighting for is- not the mere founda< tions of the good life as nations and citizen-states of the world, but the chance to go on build'mg' the super- structure. To turn the jungle of sovereign states into a community of nations; to seek for each and all of them greater economic welfare; and to establish the conditions in which each can rise to its full political stature ansdI make its full contribu- tion to world progress â€"â€" these are the wider war aims of the Allies in every continent. are the best Counter Check Books made in Canada.

Nature enthusiasts seems to have spread considerably. On Saturday, June 1. the Toronto Field Natural- ists Cluib held their field day at Bond Lake, and the local naturalists took over the job of hosts to 110 members of the club. Mrs. Gambell and Mrs. Evelyn Clarke who own the property around Bond Lake made the whole thing possible by g‘ener- ously throwing open their property to the bug, bird, flower and snake hunters. A total of 61 species of birds were observed but your re~ porter is darned if he can find out what the Ibird‘s were! The only re~ cord‘ that the observers seem to re- member is a Pine Warbler, so the other 60 birds must remain anony- mous. Apparently the meet was a decided success, a few cars stuck in the mud and! an ardent ornithologist being fished out of the lake did mothing to mar the trip. Supper of \a wacky sort was served at 7:00 and :many bird. and: animal naturalists (were seen to the taking a violent i'n- cterest in entomology, ants in parti- scular. Amongst the more or less lfamous Torontonians present were iProf. Coventry, Prof. Taylor, 'both of U. of T.; Mr. Diamond, head of the Royal Ontario Museum; Doctor «Saunders and. Mr. Paul Hahn. The lbotanrical section came through with such records as Pitcher Plants, Laib- rador Tea, Sheeps Laurel, Dog-tooth tViolets and one. (variety of orchids. Amongst the reptiles present was a large Ribbon Snake, a very rare c01- iour phase of the common garter snake. The general opinion of the lToronto Field Naturalists was that Richmond Hill Naturalists were ready to ‘take their place in the gun’. We note with interest that the hand carved models of ducks and other birds that John Curzon makes of balsa and bass wood, took a first prize at the fair.
