Premier King Announces Cabinet Reshuffle The daily press 011 Tuesday announced new appointments and proposed innovations at Ottawa. Premier King has appointed Hon. A. L. Macdonald, Premier of Nova Scotia, to the new post of Naval Affairs; W. P. Mulock, M.P., becomes Post Master General, and Col. C. W. Gibson of Hamilton, gets the Ministry of National Revenue. Mr. Ilsley takes over as Minister of Finance, whiie Mr. Gardiner is to be removed fro.m the important Departnient of Agriculture. Re- ference is made to this in an article on war in adjoining coiumn.. The officiai announcement is that there has been a cabinet re-organization. Our opinion is that it is merely a cabinet re- shuffle - strictiy upan party lines, ail these new appointees being Liberais. But to "take the curse off " Mr. King, in a surprise move, invited the leaders of the Opposition groups ta sit with him as associate inembers of the War Conimittee of the Cabinet. Sop to Cerberus! As an inducement, he states that they may stili continue to criticise. That is a paradox indeed. Once within the fold their criticism wiii be stilied because they would be criticising decisions in which they had already concurred in Council. It is a "4gag" 9 proposai! Mr. King announced that: "They could share the responsibility without an equiv- aient share in power." The Premier further confessed his failure ta induce leading citizens to enter his Cabinet. The significance of this is not en- couraging. Either the men invited have de- ciined to act because of personal financial sacrifices or they iack confidence in the present government; that they, possibly, foresce disintegration someivhere in the future shouid partyism continue to dom- imate appointments to ail responsible posts. The Statesman has in the past maintained the vital necessity of unity in the crisis we are now facing. But unity cannot be fostered and main- tained in time of war unless and until we sink ail partyisms and establish a strong, able, forceful National Administration. Cooperation Required to Improve Bowmanville Beach A local citizen. xvho with hi,, v.ife, spent the Dominion Day week-end ini Southampton on Lake Huron, brought the editor an interesting officiai document ivhich had been tacked on thc wall of the cottage the*, had occupied at that popular lake resort. It w-as issued by the "Beach ('ominittee of the Southampton Town Counciil ' and liad to do with garbage collection at the beach with a view to sanitatioji and health. "lie iast paragraph of the regulations read: "The comnittee is desirous of takirng stielh action as will improve beach conditions for our visitors and earnestly request their co-operatioî. " In handîng these regulations to the editor our friend commnented on the con- trast of the attitude of our town couneil and the Southamnpton one ini dealiîîg witlî tht. question of making our beach more invitin- and attractive for sumnnier cottagrers. Ver%, true, we admitted. With its glorious sandy liea.e.es ont the. beautiful shores of Lake Ontario at Port Bownianviile, and its proxnnity to Tor'onto, this town lias a community' asset <a real g-old Ringing throiigliîtht.

If there xvas offly soînethiing 1, as an individual,' cou]d do to assist in Caiada's War effort." There is. One of the great dangers to aur Caniadiani War effort brought about by tliv vonitiiuuoîîs strea~m of news from Europe, is tlue turining aw-ay of aur minds froin -aur immediate business. We are vitaiiy interested in keep- inig abreast with developinents bath abroad and at home. Wé are ail keen ta do every- thing within aur power ta assist in any and every passible w'ay. However, ta allow aur- selves ta became sa upset or ivorried tliat w-e negleet aur wvork, or "carry on"' ati less cfficiently because wve are s0 concerned with newspaper leadlines, radio coxnmen- tators, niews broadcasts, is îîot oniy short- siglted, but very uîpatriotic. To spend aur time eonversing witli others about thc ser- iousnless of the present situation., vhile aur job or business suffers, is demoralizing to aur business and moral fabrie. Never hefore iin aur historv lias it heen s0 important for cveryane ta buckle down and carry on lis wark, whatever that work inay be.

The Man on the White Horse Sixteen-nincty (1690) was the date of the Battie of the Boyne. In the life of the Orange Ladge and thein Twclfth of July celebrations the event still las rcpercuss- ions in aur day. Two lundrcd and fifty years have scrved to obliterate memaries of the actual events lcading up ta the battie but in the words of anc who was neyer muel of an historian here is an idea of what it w-as ail about.

But tley lhave been going an sînce the worid was born, alwa3-s faugît in the naine of pragness anîd the Battie of thc Boync ivas a rather important milestane in history. A king îîamed James, it secms, lad tried ta averstcp lis rights by endcavouring ta humble and crush the Churdli of Engiand. Whcn le went sa far as ta relax certain larsl law-s which lad been made against thc R.omanî Cathoiics and tried to put ini line of succession anc favorable ta those policies, things came ta a crîsîs. Thc leading men af ail Protestant parties asked William of Orange, champion of the Protestant cause on thc Continent, ta came ta England ta free tîcîn froin an intolerabie situation. Ta make <le stary bnief, there were many battles, same bloodless, saine blaady. "Fifth Coiumn" activity was rami- pant because Gatholies and Protestants wene sa interminglcd tlat friend and foc lived as neighbours. James' last stand was made in Ireiand at the Battle of the Boyne. 1He was beaten. Williain was King, as befits a canquenor. Hc required ail non-Protestants in the land ta take an oath of allegiance ta him. A few demured-tlcy found things rather difficult -they were massacred. Embodied in thc Bill of Riglts wvas thc stipulation that no Roman Catholie could ever wear the crawn agaîn.

A TOURIST CAME WAR TO PARIS Just a few days ago Hitleren. tered Paris for the f irst time - but nat, strangeiy, as a conquer. ing hero; nat as he entered War. saw. Thene, clase guarded, gninr and vengeful, he surveyed tii scene o! death and wneckage ami envisîoned what le hoped ta di ta - Britain. Ages aga - ta be precise, ai October 6t1, 1939, aften canquer. ing Poiand, Hitler affered peace an lis terins, ta Britain anc France - or else! It was anothen o! lis "final' propasals. But Daladier anc Chamberlain said: "No! We must figît on ta destnoy Hitierisin anc thus attain ultimnate security." And, as you wcll remember, il was tIen that Lloyd George rosi in the Commons and said: "Let us examine tIc thing; cut OU] lasses and go inta conference with this madman." The time is past ta speculatc upon what might have lappenec lad Britain leeded tlat wise old statesman. Wc must leave that to history. The decision taken then las cannied us along to where we are to-day - awaitimg thc "fnightful. mess" faresladowed, by Hitler in lis Reichstag speech. But when le entcred Paris his mood lad chamged. He made mc baasts. He visited some of the historical spots and gazed upon the tamb o! Napoleon; tlat im- pasing sarcoplagus o! black and priceiess marbie whcrc nest the bshes of lis iii-starred predeces- sor. And ta the mewsmem present le gave mo word. His visit was descnibed as that a! a taurist, wlo, quietiy, came ta sec the points of intercst. He made no baasts - m or tîreats. We may weil belîve that lis mood was that o! a man weighted witl a vision o! danger - the fate whicl avertook Na- poleon and sent him scurrying ta seck protection upon thc Bitish slip Belerephon - and thence ta St. Helena. And since that time, waitimg yet ready, Britain las mot leen invaded; las yet ta experience lis "secret weapam" and lis massed air attacks. Bitain imdced, las carnicd the acrial warfare ta Genmany whiie Hitler's lasses o! Planes over England las mr than counterwiglted the damg donc. Why thc luli? Is it to muster and mass lis fonces - or is it uncertainty, - thc mood of tIc bewildered tourist who came ta Paris and saw Napoleon's tomb? Arc we ta lave amothen of lis "final" peace proposals or are we to witness anather outbneak of lis "fifth-column" offensives aven Inclamd? Tme will tell - but time is on aur side. We must keep on be- iievimg that an invasion wiil be attempted. To sa believe is ta le prepared. And we must expect a war o!f fightfulness. Sudh an expectatian is ta prepane tIc minds of the civil population ta meet it, ta repeliti, ta canquer, ta survive. This must and will le done! Part of Empire Lost Britain has aiready lost terri- - tory ta Hitler. Part of the Em- - pire has aiready been sacrificed; Ina fact littie heraided - but true. ie The Channel Islands have passed, Id tempararily, ta Germany. Un- 10 fortified, undefcnded be ca us e they held but small strategic )n value, Britain commenced the - evacuation o! their civil popula- ,tion. And Hitler bombed them Id as they embarked - a wanton, cowardly slaughter! For what istrategic value they may be for id him, he is welcame ta them - st temporarîiy. Their loss cannat be id viewed as any letdawn in the Em- pire defences; rather ta the con- it trary. ;e But it is the first time since ýt the Hundred Years' War that ir Brîtaîn has sacrificed an inch of i territory - and it will be the last. .e The Channel Islands supplied IdBritain with the produce of truck .farms and of dainies. These sup- plies were not large but the lass must be made gaod from other Lquarters and that means, princi- -pally, Canada. 1- AIl of which bears out the in- nsistence with which this column las stressed thc need of increased iproduction alang planneçl limes. e Departmentai Shakeup n Just before going ta press, word Lcames that there is ta be a change din the Department of Agriculture; ethat Mr. Gardiner is ta be re- ;_moved ta another portfolio just sa isoon as a competent successor can s e found. There is a degree of justifiable satisfaction in this news, because the Statesman, in last week's editorial, stressed the rneed of change and speed-up in ,that very department. We be- nlieve, and developinents which rhave taken place in several in- -stances bear out the contention, Dthat we are on the right track; that aur palicy of keeping up-to- date with aur readens is the rigît and true course. It is only taa obviaus that, had matters been on an entirely satis- sfactory basis in the Departmcnt 1of Agriculture-no change would shave been made. Withaut undue criticism of Government we propose ta can- tinue aur programme as annaunc- ed in the first issue o! this column. But aur first duty is ta stress this need: that, so long as our present Government holds the helm steady, even if sametimes we become impatient, it is the duty of each and every one of us ta back it ta the limit. Wc must maintain unityl By maintaining that, we shahl get-ACTION. Unless the impact of events change the plans for mext week's issue, we propose ta state and maintain this thesis: That Canadians, gemerally, are fair, far imdeed fromn war-con- sciousness up ta this time. In support of this we may cite speci- fic instances. The time has came for brua frankness! whicl ta expiait the interests o! Mosely and Hitler. Forewarmed A ISE ITshould be forearmed. otiki By Capt.

But if there are amy betternonn-commissiomed officers in ail tIc wanid flan thase in khaki I neyer ram across thein.

HITLER'S REAL HOPE Everybody mow knows fIai Hitlen's successes ta date have been due as much ta fools and traitons in lis victim countnies as fa anmed force. His anly real chance o! conquering England in my opinion is by utilizing sudh pensons. If sems ta me that tIc wîoie Empire shauld le an guard against a German peace offensive which xiii cetainly follaw fail- une o! Hitler fo land a conquer- ing army in Bitain. As le !ooied German business mcn ta get inta power, and British business mem from 1933 tili August 1939 I think le will try again. If Hitler is un- able te canquer Bitain by frontal attack tlere could le no more colossal blunden than ta fali for the compromise peace proposai whicl Walter Duranty says Hitler las aiready made secretly, per- laps througl Sir Samuel Hoane, or someone similan. Britain's anc neai weapon against the setting up of tIc first stage of Worid Germanica is ta blockade tIc wîole continent, whîle building up on buying an ainfleet whicî wiil shoot thc Nazis dlean ouf o! the skies. If we arc ever insane enaugh ta listen to amy proposal which enables Gcrmamy ta break fIat blockadc we will le fonced ta figît the Nazis nat on thc bat tic- field but in an infinitcly mare difficuit arena. I notice tIat tIc Italian press and the Spanish radio are making a concerted exploitation o! thc position o! tIc Duke o! Windsor. They are repantimg "mufînies" in tIe British army on lis lehlf. AIl o! which suggcsts that when thc Nazis tny ta go infa Bifain they will attempt ta use fIe Duke as a sort o! stalking hanse behind A FIVE VEAR JOB Wlafever the autcome o! tIc baffle for Bnitain my guess is fIat it will take four or five yeans ta get this old wonid straigltened ouf again and ready ta go aîead. I do mat think Hitler can get a stnong army infa England. Dead- lier dangers are traitons, and de- feafists. But even if Hitler is de!initely frustnated in lis attack on Bnitain thc real task a! beatimg hîm lies alead. Tîcre wili aimost certaimly be a famine in ahl or part o! con- tinental Europe this winter or next sprng. Amy subsequent up- rising in amy part a! Europe couid omiy be engineered by the coin- munists. There is no indication o! sudh an evenfual stable wanld peace. But tIc greatest a! ail weak- messes in Hitier's prograi is in lis ridiculous !onecast a! tIc at- titude o! tIc United States ta- wards lis awn world pragnain. Our neighbor is naw tloroughly aroused. However mucl Ameni- cans may differ an tIc question o! participation in war in Europe tîcre is no difference o! opinion that I can !imd about building up an armed fonce second ta none in tIc world. Thc Unitcd States wilil e !orc- cd ta do that for reasams of cie- Mentary cammom sense. Thc Nazis will watcl tIc growtl o! sudh armed farces with increas- ing concenn. Even if they lad le- come camnplete masters o! con- tinental Europe and Afnica in thc meantime they simply could mat afford ta take a chance on Ameni- ca's future course of action. That is why Hitler cammat win even if he could conquer Bnitain, and intimidate thc Soviet into seeming sulmission. UNHOLY EMPIRE ail these things are plain indi- cations of other things to come. Numerous reports fromn Ger- many, obviously released with the blessing of the Nazi ruiing gang, indicate that the world is soon going ta see the restoration of the Roman Empire, in accordance with the mystic îdeology of the Rosenburg cuit. It is plainiy and repeatedly stated that the Treaty of Westphalia of 1649 is to be re- vaked by the same powers as sign- ed it. What this means is that the Germanic Empire, which as Gib- bon pointed out was neither holy, Roman, nor an Empire is ta be given a new lease of life. In keeping with his usual prac- tice, Hitler has a definitely mat- erial as well as psychological ob- jective in his revived Empire plan. Our part of the worid knows very littie about the Thirty Years War, or of the treaty which end- ed it. That long struggle, which saw the Protestant peoples and cahtolic France on the one side, and the catholic princes and mast of Germany on the other. But the English people were too preoc- cupied ta pay much attention to it. They were too busy wîth their own wars at home. That year saw the rise of Cromwell, and next year saw the execution of the En- giish king.

Foiey, 123 Lake St., St. Catharines, Ont. THE HOLY CITY Let me give you another story just here, showing the Power of sang. Thirty men, red eyed and dishevelled, lined up befor.,a judge in a San Francisco pJa court. It was the regular mornn company of drunks and disorder- lies. Some were aid and harden- ed; others young, and held their heads in shame. Just as the disorder of bringing in the prisoners quieted down, a strange thing happened. A strong, clear vaice from below began singing: "Last night I lay asleeping, There came a dream so fair, I stood in old Jerusaiem Beside the temple there." Last night! It had beein ~r them ail a nightmare or a druto- en stupor. The sang was such a contrast ta the horrible fact! "I heard the children singing And ever as they sang, Methought the voice of angeis From Heaven in answer rang." The sang went on. The judge paused ta make inquiry. A for- mer member of a famous opera company, known all over the country, was awaiting trial for forgery. It was he who was sing- ing in his celi belaw. Meantime, the sang continued and every man in the line showed emotion. A boy at the end of the uine, after a desperate effort at self contrai, leaned against the wali, buried his face in his folded arm and sobbed "Oh, mother, mother." At length, ane man pro- tested, "Judge," he said, "have we gat ta submit ta this? We are here ta take aur punishment, but this," - he began ta sab. It was impassible ta proceed with the business of the court, yet the judge gave no order ta stop the sang, which moved on ta its cli- max - "Jerusalein, Jerusalem, sing for the nigît is a'cr, Hosanna in thc highest, Ho- sanna for evermare." Silence foiiowed the sang. The judge loaked into the faces of the men bef are him; ail had been deepîy tauched by the sang and their better impulses stirrcd. The cases were nat called sîngly. With a kindly word af advice ail wcre dismissed. The sang had done them mare good than punishment Scouid have accamplishcd. Ir
