TUE CANADIAN STATESMAN, EOWMANVrLLE. ONTARTO ?HURSDAY, JU?~ 1st~ 1050 Before the First World War there was a very active Peace Movement in Canada and the United States, and prominent among its advocates were a num- ber of German professors, most of whom returned to Germany be- fore the outbreak of the war, and at least one of them in Toronto was interned soon after the war started. While there were many good loyal Canadians who sup- FNATURE UNSPOILED YOURS TO PROTECT The BALTIMORE ORIOLE is a familiar and beloved bird cf gardens, orchards and forests.

He expressed his sur- prise and chagrin at the instant respense' et the Canadian peoplei te the caîl, as he put it, "te re-j neunce their autonomy and go toi the aid et Britain". The purpose of that Peace Mevement was the same as that1 ot the present Peace Congress. It was intended te sotten-up the Canadian people, turn them against Britain and present the Kaiser in the light et an angel of1 peace. Hitler, before the last war, occasionally tried te coo like a dove when he effered the world a "thousand years of peace"-at the price cf Deutschland uber alles! He deceived most of the German people who would have been glad of a hundred years of peace at a much less price. But the rest et the world had net for- gotten the Kaiser, and there were tee many bombs and bayonets il- concealed in Hitler's olive branch, and der feuhrer's voice was too fereclous fer a man of peace. Hitler has gene the way of the Kaiser and ceme te. an appropri- ate end beneath the ruins of his palatial halls in Berlin, where he and bis war lords "gloried and drank deep" te the day when the Swastika would wave ever ahl. But it seems that in this world one despet f ails ohly to give rise te another, and the role has been taken up by an even more formn- idable successor. Soviet Russia is a far greater menace than was Nàzi Germany. Hitler was a braggart and ne one mistoek him fer anything but a war lord and a would-be werld conqueror. Stalin is sulent or soft-spoken (in public), but he is pelîtically wea- ther-wise, crafty and tarséeing. He partially deceived even the astute Churchill, and Roosevelt smiled upon him as a brother.

The new "peace" movement is an attempt te detract attention from the cold war in Europe and the Soviet conquest of China. Like Hitler before him, Stalin is new ready to announce that he Sas ne further territorial ambitions (for the time being), and that he would be happy to grant "peace in our time", as Hitler did at Munich, if President Truman would fly to Moscow te beg for it. Moscow radie is nightly broadcasting prop- aganda te the Western World, in which Stalin is described as sitt- ing in the Kremlin waiting te be- stow perfect peace and "democ- racy" on mankind. These broad- casts, which are in English with a beavy accent, are literally pep- pered with the word "peace" and "democracy", and they are repeated over and over, with musical interludes, as if from a record. .The Peace Congress is merely an extension of this Moscow cam- paign et lies, and it is a pathetic sight to see preachers, who 'were ordained to proclaim Christ as the Prince of Peace and Saviour of the world, turning to a ruthless des- pot for peace and salvation. It would seem that the Dean of Can- terbury and the ex-missionary Dr. James Endicott have been dis- appointed with the Gospel they were ordained te preach. That is the fate of ail Christian ministers who have become impatient with the delay of the Kingdom of heav- en, and who turn asideto seek tirst the kingdom of eartb. These preachers speak and act as if Moscow were the only place from which we can look for peace on earth and good will among men. If that be so, then we had better close up our churches, or discard the Cross for the hammer and sickle and displace Christ with Marshal Stalin. PONTYPOOL WJho Gets Hurt?

Doubtful Pensionsj (By Joseph Lister Rutledge) Few weuld be inclined te deny that industry has an obligation te its eider workers who have serv- ed it faithfully over the years. The argument against the pen- sions that Labor is se forcefully demanding is net that the pro-1 pesals are based on a policy that makes the continued and success- ful eperation of a pension scheme an impossibility. The plans as- sume that industry can pay eut of current profit, already decimated by tax demands, sufficient to sup- port these pension schemes. Obviously the tirst require- ment of any pension plan for the protection and security et the older workers is that it will bel safe against any set-back and workable under any condition cf business. The sad tact is that the plans preposed are barely workable un- der present favorable conditions, and that tbey cannot hope te work under conditions that are morr adverse. As Mr. Peter F. Druck. er has poinfed eut in an article in Harper's Magazine, they do ne' pretend that tbey can operate un- der anytbing but the most favor- able business conditions. The' Steel agreement that providec'. pensions affer 65 for workers o' some lengtb et employment car- ried a clause that "pensions will be paid only as long as busines2 remains excellent". The ceai miners' plan collapsed when John L. Lewis called for his three-day week. This situation dees net spring gizzards thï.n a chîcken has sand. Maybe fhat's what keeps us se healthy. Don't be surprised if you see our wife running an "Ad." te take in washing. We presented ber witb a new electric iron. Now. she's go- ing around look-ing for semefhing te use it on. The fhiniz bas a long cerd fastened to if, then it is plugged into the wall, whicb. suifs us just fine, because noxv, wben sbe gets ber Irish up we have enough fime te duck eut et the kitchen before she bas time te heave it at us. Last weekcnd, we were in Bowmanville. Wbile I was buy- ing some summer lingerie to take the place ef the fleecc-lined stuft I'm still wearing. the wife was busy treating berself te a dozen glass tumblers. Wben we met on the street, she handed me the tumblers and admonisbed me fo be careful net te break them. The fwo parcels were almost identical in appearance. Wbile trying te unlock tbe car, both parcels took a notion te slip eut of my arms in different directions. Knowing that the underwear would bounce, I grabbed for the parcel cenfain- ine the glassware, only te dis- cover I bad grabbed the under- wear, and if was the glasses thaf were deing the bouncing on the bard ground. I didn'f know how te explain tbings. Finally bit on the idea of putfsng if where our grandson would sit on if, then, I ceuld blame hlm. Instead et Dougy sitfing on the parcel, the littie stinker decided te sit on bis mofber's knee. When we arriv- ed home, it took me nearly an heur te put the car away. I didn't want te be tee handy wben thaf glassware parcel was opened. Im- agine how nice it xvas te go infe the kitchen and see those shiny tumblers lined up on the table without as rnuch as a chip eut of any eftfhern. We have been cutfing and driv- ing willow stakes in that big ra- vine north of Fred Boyd's, in an effort te stop sorn2 et the land slip. And, would like te thank publicly those who se generously confributed the necessary willow frees: Herb. Mercer, Wes Cath- cart, Lorne Bell, Reg Elliotf, Bill Robinson. Witbout tbeir gen- ereus co-operaf ion our task weuld, indeed, have been very difficult. If the experiment turns eut suc- cessfully, they can rightfully en- joy a share et the credit. We bad a score lasf week, when a grass tire gof going in Andy Sutcb's fields, spread across Wehb's farm, cleanirsg up some considerable quantity et pine stump fence, and stopping within ferty rods et the pieneer build- ings et the Webb family. Andy has only recenfly had a telephone installed, but we imagine he teels it paid for itself last Friday wben be had te quickly summon volun- teer help te curb the tire. We were among the guests at Florence Nightingale Lodge 1.0. O.F., Bowmanville, Friday even- ing.

Cals. $2.95 Work Panis fromn any unwillingness cf indus- try te set up a pension program. Many industries have already dene so cf their own volition. It, springs frem the essential un- soundness of the plans themselves. To set up a working plan without first setting by reserves te meetl the demands involved; te begin paying immediately on a pay-as- you-go basis is a policy that is doomed to failure. Industry's present contribution, based on the successful business of the moment is barely equal to meeting current pension demànds. As these con- tributions decline with any de- dline in business fortunes, or s pension demands steadily increase as more and more workers reach pensionable age, it is ebvious tha.. this gap between available re- sources and growing demand is too great to be bridged byprsn pension plans.
