associate editor of the brampton conservator misconceptions relating to i he tlirht of the pres to cri iclze com mend oruggest to government bodies civic provinciil or federal is often assailed pox that reason it is essential that the position of the press ui its relitlonshlp to governmental bodies should be examined many well meaning people conscientiously believe that the press should express no conviction upon civic provincial or feaenl affairs they assume that to offer criticism is to become partisaif they confuse the meaning of the word independent and neutral there is a very real and vital difference between the two to be independent is to reseve the inalienable right of every citizen to approve or disapprove of anj pub lie matter without thought of servitude to on particular party or group to be neutral s to avoid reference to any cont n lous matr to sum up the two it would be fair to ay that indepen iei ce was that same privilege of the individual to decide for him elf for which party he shall vote or which church he shall attend without pressure from pa ly exec ilives or religious dignitaries to be neutral is to admit that one is not irepared to come for a decision or make a stand on a mattei and therefore to leave it alone members of civic bodies scmeumts pollt out that nepapers have such a tremendous influence in lhe community and that ther circulation is so widespread that they have an advantage over those with whom they disagree this is true only in so far a the hid vid lal refuses to ake id vantage of the privilege granted by almost eery newspaper of us ng the column- of the press to expiess his or hei views there is however a much more important angle to this question newspapermen are equip ped to give more adequate study to municipal affairs thw most ndhi duals at their fingertips they have information which l not readily available to every citizen their representatives attend mee ings of civic bodies and therefore have the opportunity of getting a better understand ing of municipal affairs than the average voter of even greater tmpor taice is the almost universal attitude of lhe public to exjiect advice aid leadership from the press the newspaper is of en the only medium through which citizens may keep in touch and abreas of the nffair o the community they expect and have the right to expect that their newspaper will keep them advised of what is go ng on and will aliso through the information at its disposal endeavour to interpret the news the newspaper which fails to do this is failing in what often amounts to its supreme task in the community another assumption of some men and women in public office is that any criticism ofered in a newspaper is personal rather than objective that s not true newspapers have been known to conduct violently per sonal campaigns but it is the exception rather than the rule and if any criticism violates the laws of defamatory libel the individual alwas ha recourse to the courts the newspaper which comments on public affairs far from being presumptlous is bit fulfilling one of the most important and vital func tions of the press if it is genuine in its desire to be of service to the com munity t will open its columns to signed letters from those who disagree with its editorial opinions but all too often those who have this privilege fail to avail themselves of the opportunity preferring to carry on a street comer or platform feud against the newspaper by intelligent comment on public affairs the newspaper presents the rise of unscrupulous men who seek office for private gam and it often brings to light factors in a situation that have been entirely overlooked by the civic administrators find the public in this service alone newspapers have saved their com tmmltles from colossal financial lots and from racketeers who would use public office to enrich themselves personal postal messages to enemy and enemyoccupied countries the honourable w p mnloek k c postmaster

of the conquered countries would be forced to work as slaves for the germane in the united states he said nazi sympathisers already held many key posts and we have in the american police an

his review of nazi alms by dealing witlj the situation in eur ope on the eve of the attack on the low countries and france but it is his reference to the united states and the avowed intention to secure amer leas total capitulation which cause inte est and concern there he said i have been asked about my opln ion on america especially the unl ted states and the danger of this pseudodemocratic

relatively weak am erican forces would have encouraged the western powers to an offensive on the other hand we germans have an account which wo must settle with this country in this war not to mention the last war the united states holds all the gold of europe which was and lndisputabljt is our pro perty germany being the successor state of the subjugated nations gold alone is practically of no val ue but the insulting fact that it is something which god intended for us which we were robbed of and which is intentionally withheld from us must not remain unpunished the united states also will be for ced by germany to complete the fi nal capitulation our superior in dustrial products will be sold at very low prices to the whole world and will cause the united states to have not 7000000 but 30 000000 to 40000000 unemployed mr rosenfeld a nazi leader will then beg the fuehrer on his knees to purchase from the united states not manufactured products but raw mat erials at prices we shall dictate the united states is at present so demoralised and so corrupted that like prance and england it need not be taken into consideration as a mili tary adversary s no fear of ijs we have in the united states pol ice an organization operating with the same exactitude as in berlin or pra gue and we have no fear of any ac tivities on lhe part of the united sta- the only purpose of our offensive against the united states is for ever to t rid of another bulwark of plut ocracy to regain what belongs to us and lo teach americans to respect germanj darre started by predicting the de struction of france the french he said are a nation of idlers and the fists of our good soldiers will teach these greedy pleasure seekers and rot ters to work hard for us germany had many friends in france belgium and holland these friends are not only our kinsmen res ident there but also many members of those nations some of them have adopted hie fuehrers doctrine some are displaced officials of the former regime some are ambitious to gain prominent posi tions some won t resist the tempta tion of money all however will ren der our cause the most faithful ser vice accursed england after the complete defeat and hu miliation of the western continental powers it will be easy to crush con temptible england isolated and in our power england must be destroyed as once carthage was destroyed the centres of this perfidious plu tocracy must be turned into ruins so that this punishment might serve as a lesson to all who will attack this na tion thousands of our planes will fly over proud albion and the thunder of bombs and fires will shake to the very foundations this accursed island that has hindered for centuries our development our ss regiments lth the rest of the army will finish the work of destruction without any sentimentality by good or evil we shall subjugate especially rumania because of its sources of noptha jugoslavia bui garla turkey and greece then our way is open to immeasurable supplies raw material in africa it may be assumed that before the autumn sets in we shall be absolute masters of two continents with uie exception of soviet russia we shall introduce in our new liv ing space completely new methode all the soil and industrial property of inhabitants of nongerman origin will be confiscated without exception and distributed primarily among the worthy members of the party and sol diers accorded honours for bravery in this war thus a new aristocracy of german masters will be created this aristocracy will have slaves assigned it these slaves to be their property and to consist of landless non german nationals please do not interpret the word laves as a parable or a rhetorical term we actually have in mind a modern form of medieval slavery which we must and will introduce be cause we urgently need it to fulfil our great tasks these slaves will by no means be denied the blessings of illiteracy high er education will in future be reserved only for the german population of europe we have selected this form of sla very for several reasons the most important reason is that we are abol tshing the gold standard and replacing it by work this work must be as cheap as possible so that our eco- lomic conquest may spread exfcen vcly and rapidly jack you don t love me any more this is de third time you have gone i before dad has made you go norway under hitler daily life under the nazis as re vcaled in a letter from friends in norway yes keeping house in times like these is certainly difficult for ration ing is very strict meat can scarcely be found anywhere and even farmers who have pigs arc not allowed to use them for their own families it is al most impossible to get fish because the fishermen have no gasoline for their boats you can t think of buying anything without a ration card not even thread yarn or a tiny piece of cloth we get 300 coupons per year m our card but a dress re quires 150 cqupons and a little yarn 30 coupons men can buy only one suit or overcoat a year i am in defer pair when r think how many coupons it takes just to buy stockings for the boys even with a bread card we have to buy 9 kilos of coarsely ground rye meal in order to have one kilo of wheat meal as for real flour that cant be bought in uie stores its a daily problem to know what to prepare for meals fortunately we have en ough rntlk at least up to now i could write a great deal more about difficulties in housekeeping about having to stand tn line at the market place for hours m order to buy flvt eggs and so ori but x snoufcmt com plain too much for we have not suf fered real hardship yet
