THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, 1 AVLE NAROPG HE VICHY TREACHEUY The fantastic dime-novel fllght ta Britain af Rudolf Hes, and the .ÇfUrther treacherous sel-out by S Vichy ta the Nazis, are bath cen- S nected moves in the attempted ? Gérman march toward world power. .<In ail save one or twa corners, * l~e Portugal, the Nazis are un- dlputed mnasters of continental Eurk». The mot formidable part »of their military task has been Scampieteci. Insofar as Europe is tconcerned, their future prablem is political. Unleis they can secure Ssome measure aofIlt-toreluctant co-aperation from within the vani- eus countries they have over- came, ail talk af a new order in Europe is futile. The Nazis know that they can neyrer secure that measure ai ca- operation as long as ordinary people ai the conquered countries af Europe have hope ai a British victory-and their subseQuent re- S lease frem bandage. Hence the S Nazis must destroy British resus- tance at ahl costs. Everything in Z their past record shows that they ~, always try ta attain their ends by same such trick as Hess attempt- Sed. It is only when guile and ~.trxckery and treachery fail that the Nazis turn ta violence-which Sas~ Hitler himself has pointed ont -isalways castlier. In this sense it makes ne dii- ference whatever whether the S mission af Hess was a one-man job, ôr whether Hess came with Hitler's knowledge and consent. As thingi naw stand in the old world, the Nazis have everything they want, except pence. If they can get that peace with Britan- by farce or àuile-they will be able ta pursue their march ta- ward warld power by truly gigan- 1 tic strides.j FRENCU TRAGEDY The most. depiorable part ai the French tragedy is that the mas ai the people have been sold, step by step, inta a position in which they will aimait certainiy be forced ta fight againit Britain. It wiil be aimait a miracle if France can naw be saved from outright participation in the war. Yet at no time have the people ever been teid hew they were being said, not anly into slavery, but into a slave army which wauld soaner or later be made ta fight thelr fermer allies, the British. The astaunding part af the whole business, is that yeaîs be-j fore it happened, Hitler wrotei down an paper mist haw he in- tended ta wark the undoing, ai his victim-peopies. The ail-im- portant part, he wrate, was ta get - Your chaoe ci hu. lowly sot shie Crmlr, 1 r hi*.e la" ~ ~1I07PaJ PiAGma SbJPiA smb*e. ow ej the victim ta make a moral sur- render-ta get hlm ta take some step which would have the efiect af destreylng bis awn self-respect. That Is why Hitler wan the greateit af his victories at Mun- ich. The Brtlsh-thanks ta peo- ple lilce Wlnsfton Churchill-made a miraculous recovery. The French never did. When they were beat- en on the battlefleld thelr leaders iailed ta de what the Pales, Nor- wegians, Netherlanders, Belgians, and Greeks did. They could have muade a purely military capitula- tion-wlthdrawing what men and machlniery were stiil avallable te carry on the war irom overseas. Instead they tried ta save them- selves at the expense ai their hanour-not ta mention their idr- mer allies. It is true that et the time ai each step French leaders did nat cieariy realize just what the su.m total a& ail such -stepi wonld be. The ail-important lesson for the still-free world is that there is no such certain short cut ta disaster as ta muke with the Nazis an ar- rangement which leaves the Nazis free ta use farce whenever they decide ta do sa, meunwhile allaw- ing them ta emplay ail their poli-] tical technique ai sabotage and subversion.

By this tinie ail the world shauld know il. FRANCE WILL ARISE The avawed aiai the Nazis la not anly conquest of the nations as such, but complete disintegra- tion of those nations. In the case af France, Hitler has been brutal- ly specific. In the book (written tin collaboration with Rudoli Hess) he states the "hydra-head- ed manier ai France" is ta be crushed once and for ail. France was neyer hn sa horrible a position, because she has got herseif there more as a result ai her own failure to ive up ta her own traditions than as a result af 3enemy action. I ar n ot one wha thinks that there was anything diagraceful in the milltary defeat, af France. France was outgenerailed and aver-powered by a stronger arxny. That has happened ta France, not once, but many, times. Where France failed abysmally, te date, was in iailing ta iight back with the weapons she had. It waî Wey- gand who twice made colossal military blunders. The iirst - chiefiy responsible for the politi- cal instead of the military surren- der of France - was that Britain would be beaten within three weeks. The second was in this early winter, when Italy was reel- ing at home and abroad irom a succession of staggering military defeats. Had Weygand thrown in his North African army hn Libya, and elsewhieie in the Mediterran- ean, the chances are that Itaiy -would have been knocked dlean ont of the war - and the defeat ai Hitler and liberation af France hustened by months or even years. It was precisely this strategy ai the seizure of apportunities that was the basis of French military strategy which prevaiied from Napoleon ta Foch. Weygand, un- tii last year, was supposed te be Fech's shadow. Yet he completely failedta exploit as great'a mili- tary oppartunity as was ever pre- sented on a piatter ta an expert- enced general. Tl¶ese are not my ideas, for Generai de Gaulle painted them ont by radio when they stili existed. Weygand net enly missed his chance campietely, but within a iew weeks was permitting the secret passage af Nazi -troopi throu!gh Tunis ta Libya. France did in Syria lait week nathing mare treacherons than she had already done in Africa.

Layouta If certain almait elemnentay rules are ioilowed in laylng out ilower gardeni, not only wiil re- sults be enhanccd but the main- tenance ai that gurden made mare simple. The first rule is ta allow suffi- cient spuce between eacb plant for full grawth. With such things as cosmos or the large zinnias and niarigaldi this means ut least 15 inches. A good rule ta failow is ta uhîaw hall as much space be- twecn us the plant is high ut mu- turity. This yardstick, indeed, may be applied rlght thraugh the full range af gardening. If this niuch space la allowed then vital cultivutian and wecding can be carrieti ont eaaily. Sniaior Plants lIn Front Anather first rule is ta place thc smaller plants at the front ai thc bcd otherwise their growth and bloorna wll be hidden.
