Legend has it that St. Gieorge Nwas born in a fuller«s shop ini Epiphania, Cili-cia, and that hie contrived to ineratiate himself with those above him by serilelv flaiternîg them, and soj gradually rose from hLs original oh- scurity.

Canonization followe-d bis death at the hands of pagans. Romancûe cast its halo around him and he was held in great honour in England from a ver>- earl>- period. He ivas said to have appeared hefore Co)eur-de-Lion before Acre as the precursor of vietor>-, and from that time the Cappadocianl adventurer became the chos4i patron of arms and chivaîr>-. In olden times. the standard of St. George wvas borne before English king-s in battle, and bis name ivas the rallving cry of Eiîg- lisb %varriors.

This, o! course, was not the fault of the peeple of the "tight little isle'. It was not the f!ault of any one o! their governments. The Dominions, including Canada, had de!initely rejected the idea of formal Empire federatian by the beginning o! this century. But Canada at least had then rightly rejected t-as much by instinct as anything else-because no or- ganizatian which does not include the United States as w eh as Britain can ever be the complete answer ta Canada's world prob- lems. FORWARD HO! It would be as impossible as un- desirable now even ta turn back ta the idea of mere Empire feder- ation. People like ta forget abeut Eire, which is as neutral as Spain in tis war. Yet Eire is still-be- lieve it or nt-a full-!ledged part a! the British Commonwealth. We have learned in this war that the British Commonwealth (and even more the British Empire) is net strang enaugh ta protect its own, whole structure against canquest b>' strong enemies. Australia and New Zealand are now dependent, in fact, f ar more on the United States than they f ever wiil be again an Britain. All these facts, and lwndreds mare, ahl help add up ta the saine sum total: Canada, perhaps mare than an>' other nation in the world, has a stake in the formation of a world order. Canada should fight for k that world order as vigorousl>' on the political front as aur men wi be called upon ta !ight physically on the impending Second Front. ALL OR NOTHING Canada should fight politicaly leaders. It is a suggestion based on the fear that the United States ma>' swing back ta isolationism again when this war ends. GERMAN VICTORY A world broken down ie three regional blocs would, in my opin- ion, be certain ta get the third e and final world war within an- other generation.
