FROHXIEHS Lindbergh, «tool and level-headed, wakes a plea fur the United Stated to stay out of war â€" that America's fron. tiers exist on her bounding maim, east and west. He makes the point that the U. S. must either be all into or all out of the European picture. "It is mad- ness," says the Colonel, "to send our soldiers to be killed as we did in the last war if we turn the course of peace over to the greed, the fear, and the intrigue of European nations. We must either keep out of Buropean war entirely, or stay in European affairs permanently," Granting this, and doubtless he ia correct, the question arises: "Is he right in his conclusion that the United States must stay out? Admittedly the U. S. has had to spend billions of dollars on "defence" pre- parations â€" defence for the frontiers which he points out are protected by the oceans: "formidable barriers for even modem aircraft," he puts it. If the United States is thus forced to economic waste by what he terms "one more of those age-old quarrels within our family of nations," then Lindbergh is wrong in his isolation- ism. The United States is a member of that family of nations, and the United States ought to "stay in Euro- pean affairs permanently." tf the United States had not withdrawn from its Versailles position, there might still be peace in the world â€" ^but the United States, after shieing President Wilson's brick, turned and ran away fron the other members of the "family." The crux of the whole thing is reached in this term of Lindbergh's: "Our family of nations." The nations of the world are, indeed, a family of nationB â€" and the undisciplined actions of one or more individuals in that family directly affect the others, for weal or woe. The best interests of the United States may not be well-served by isolationism. There is too much nar- row vision exercised in international relationships, particularly in Europe, and the clarity and perspective of a virile American viewpoint is just what has been lacking in Europe these past few years. The result is war. EDITORIAL COMMENT weekly paper and it keeps their com- munity in the news each week. We would like to secure news gatherers from other communities that are not represented and woald be pleased to have a call from any one interested. Peace and prosperity rules the Ontario countryside. Outside of our cities there is no sign of anything but common place. But in the larger centres, young men are marching, drilling. » • • • By the way, when Lindbergh wanted peace and security he went to Eng- land. Now he urges the U. S. (which was substantially a partner in the Versailles treaty) to keep out of the mess. O. K., but will the mess keep out of the U. S.? » • * • There are no rules of etiquette in this war for Germany and Russia. Possibly Britain is erring in concen- trating on ruling the waves â€" and should waive the rules in her war with the distators. It seems doul>tful if half measures in terrorism may be sufficient in this particular war. • * • * With Russia coming into the war, and taking Poland in hand, Germany is able to turn her attention to the Western front â€" and the situation be- comes somewhat curdled. Obviously the "good boys" of civilization ^erroneously called the democracies) may yet have a real job on their hands. The world just now is be- devilled by a trinity of political hood- lums: Stalin and Hitler, and Mussolini the Minor. • • • • This week we welcome three new correspondents to The Advance list of newsgalherers â€" Feversham, Bucking- ham and Hatherton. The country correspondent is invaluable to the VICTORIA CORNERS Mr. and Mrs, Mel Hawes and Mary uf Bright, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Coon iind Bobby of Acton visited their par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Stinson. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Linton and Peggy were at Owen Sound over the week end. Mrs. Hawes and Donna, after an extended stay here, returned to her home. Mackie McTaggart and his sisters. Myrtle and Betty, and Mr. Thompson of Caledon East visited at the home of Jas. Uatchclor. Florence returned with them for a holidafr. Some building activities have been going on in the neighborhood. Two things of particular note: about two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Albert Stev- ens retired from their farm which is now rented to Mr. E. Blakey. The reason for Mr. Stevens' retirement was ill health. He will be 71 in October. Last spring his health was improved enough that, as the house on this farm needed shingling, he nocompli«hed most of the work him- self, and it is a very steep roof. Then Milton Bannon had a brooder house built. The peculiar thing here is that it was framed and built mostly by a friend ( Mr. Hawes, of Kitchener who is 72 years old and has only one arm and a hook in the place of the other arm. He does wonderful wood work, as well as almost anything with the hook that most people can with their two hands. The ladies of Inistioge W. A. met at the home of Mrs. Oscar Patterson on Thursday, and on account of the harvest and threshings the attend- ance was smaller than usual, but the usual program was enjoyed and bus- iness conducted. Lunceon was served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Wil- fred Gallagher and Mrs. R. Patterson. Rev. Dr. Gordon of Dundalk con- ducted a congregational meeting at Inistioge Friday evening at which plans were made to raise funds to clear oc the debt and also to shingle the church. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Stinson enter- tained members of the Proton W. I. to a com roast on Thursday evening. The evening was spent with cards, mu.sic and social chat, until the corn and weiners were served. Then, Cm! My! It was hard to tell who were enjoying themselves most.
