________________________________________________________________________________ mu THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THURSDAY. JUNE 27TH, 1940 THURSDAY, JUNE 27TH, 1940 A Duty We Owe to H-umanity Terrifie bornbing, raids are already casý ing their horrible and devastating shadoi o ver the British Isies and swift action aloi wîll save the cbildren of those areas. It is perhaps natural that parents i England and people in this country wou]i not enter fully into this seherne until th danger aetually wvas present. t means tha action now cannot be too quick. This typi of mass movement of chiidren has neve been attempted befare. t is a real testo Christian and democratie pninciples. Can tb people of this county measure up ta it? *W think they wiJl without a moment's hesita tion. )w ne in d he Lt pe er of e e Those who agree ta take these ehildren MJuould do so with their eyes open. Lt must be remembered that present plans cail for free board, lodging and clothing. They wil be in yaur home at ieast ta the end of the war and possibly fan same tirne thereaften. It may take the chiidren some time ta adjust themselves ta cornpletely new envinanment. But here at Iast is something that is a direct personal contribution ta the main- tenance of aur beloved Empire. t means saving the lives of thausands of helpiess children. The Empire is calling and wil meet with a ready response in this country and in this cammunity. Early registration with the local com- mittee is urged s0 that other detaîls can be completed without delay. The Achievements of '67 A few of aur oldest citizens can recal the achievement of 1867. Four provinces of Canada were united then into what was considered a great fedenation. The idea that the provinces af Bitish North Amreia should be united under anc gavernment had often been suggestcd. The British North Amenica Act of 1867 ereated the Dominion of Canada - an Juiy lst aur Dominion was born. Many af aur grandparents werc child- ren when this great event in Canadian his- tory took place. Next Monday wil àee its 73rd anniversary. To this generatian it seems as if Canada has always been and wil'l always be. Even now when we realize in an indefinite sort of way that aur 'status quo' rnay carne ta an end this very year if we are nat on guard, it still seenis hard ta realize that the multi- tudinouis events which are recorded in aur history have mostly taken place within the short space af only 73 ycars. The acts and emotions af Canadians have been as deep and varied in that short space of time as many races expenience thnough aeons. Thnee major wars-have tnied aur courage, sapped aur energies, and brought sarrow raeing across the land. Disasters have taken aur breath away - we have known praspenity and depression. After Confederation Canada compnised anly thnee million people and took in anl area of land ane-tenth the scape of the Dominion ta-day. Sir John A. MacDonald had his troubles fonming the firist Cabinet. Even as it mîght have been to-day, he found it ai almost impossible task ta create a unificd governing body which included all shades of political opinion. But lake Canad- ian statesmen usually do, he " made the grade. " We are detenmined that aur country shal nat be eut off in its youth. The tunmoil of war wivih threatens ta engulf what was prnce a "fan-off Dominion" rnust not bc al- lowed ta neacli this continent. t is time now for Canada ta take the îaext step for- ward, that is, shake off the depeaident atti- tudes of infancy and stcp ot h ravely ta face the future, confident that ight wilI prevail aven might. The Public and the Newspapers Few persons will dispute the fact that the public appreciates a newspaper whicli fights the people's batties. The people may not always take that newspaper's counsel, but the support and loyalty are there just the same. We recent]y noted a case in Texas where members of the community raised a fund ta support two newspapers which had been sued for libel in the course of a battie they were making for the public welfare. Citizens figured it was their battie the newspapers were waging and they decided to show it. The newspapers won the suit. This is a eomewhat unusual manifestation of publie regard for a newspaper which bas no ax to grind save that for the publie good, but it is not an unusual situation, sa far as independent, courageous n ewspapers have the goodwil of the thoughtful, fairminded residents of a comnmun ity.

Thee are the weapans that must bea Hitler, soon or late. For those who have not follow cd military science, and to-dayi is a ncw science, it may be wel ta review Hitler's strategy and ir some degree, his tactics. By thui casting up a balance-sheet of wai ta date we may arrive at somE approximation o! what we may expect in the immediate future bath in Britain and in America, Hitler's whole plan from thE beginning was deep and brac His book, "My Struggle", written when in j ail, becomnes mare ca as the weeks pass. He set out to shake off the rusting chains af the Treaty a! Versailles; ta widen thc "living raom" for the Germai people; ta build an Empire; to dominate the world. His pro- gramme has hugely advanced, and, unexpectedly, ahead of his time-table. To accomplish hîs purpose, li knew that he must destray Bni tain. That was his prime objec- tive. By cunning, by lying, thro' dipiomatic duplicity, and by force of arms, he has advanced step by step, until ta-day his massed and massive strength is mustered ai Britain's doorstep. This is his "zero hour". Here is the sequence: He took over the Saar; remilitarizedi the Paiand and cxpased the pattcrn o! bis "ligbtning war." Then Bni- tain dcclared war in partnersbîp with France. A fatal errar at that marnent. Histony will speculate upon wbat may have bappcned had Britain hcld off for a !ew more manths and rcdoubled ber rearmament. France and Bnitain, unpnepared, chase that fateful moment ta banor a note signed in favor o! Poland. Then began the "War o! Jit- ters" witb Hitler pulling the pup- pet strings. Mussolini sang bis piece about Tunisia and Corsica and Savaia; thrcatening France. Japan created a scene and slapped British natianals in nortb China. Stalin, the Sphinx, sat and grin- ned. London dug boles in the ground and awaitcd the Hun air- raids. History may"term it "the War o! Jittens." It was that exactly. Troops waited in the Maginot uine for attacks that neyer came. And evcny once in a whilc Hitlen fired off a gun ta break up their poker games and send thern scur- rying ta peer througb peniscapes along steel parapets.

Local diffi- culties, such as iabar troubles, will be overcome by Nazi tech- nique o! terrorism.
