Living (Killed ln Action ln Itaiy> Rotarv Club lias lnterests 0f Communitv at Heart Rownanville Rotary Club celebrated its 2lst birthday at its meeting on Friday and was honored in baving as guests sorne of the Oshawa members who were present at its founding just over two decades ago. It is usual at coming-of-age payties to look back over the past and to take a new assess- ment of the tirnes as well as to look confi- dently and constructively into the future. These conceptions were observed at the birthday gatbering. The minutes of the first meetings were read, the growth of the Club and its value to the communitv was stressed and finally a striking view of the future was presented by Rotarian George Hart of Osh- awa. "Service Above Self" is the motto of Ro- tarians and in retrospect. Ibis gathering to- gether of business and professional men of the district, and thieir cornbiiued efforts td make the cornmunity a better place in wbîcb to live and work lias been manifested in many ways since the Club was first formied. One of the main concerns of Rotary lias been its work for the relief of crippled chil- dren. Funds raised have been almost wholly used for hurnanitarian endeavors and gen- eral public welfare. An indirect result of the Service Club idea is also to make people "comrnunîty mînded." And this, in essence, is the idealistie conception of Christian De- mocracy. This "getting, together" of men w-ho are in position to give leadership, who meet to- gether co-operatively and non-politically with race and creed forg-otten, is a force whicb accepted and extended widely over the globe. is the sort of spirit that eau guar- antee universal "Peac-e on Earth." This idea was conveyed by Mr. Hart in his verv impressive address. The part that the loç-al Rotarv Club lias played in the comrnunity justifies its existence. As a unit in a world wide organîzation it lias an even greater part to play in the days of reconstruction and for generations 10 corne. This birtbday observance is but a miilestone ini the life of an organization founded 40 years ago.

Socialîsm Means an OmniDotent Ever-Present State Control Prime Minister King took the stand some 3-ars ago as an expert in defining- mo- dern trends in industrial relations. The evi- dence hie presented w-as gatliered during the course of a career in public service and ivas recordcd in bis book "Industry and Hurnan- ity," copyriglited in 1918.

The editor of The Statesman. w-ho w-as present aIt, te meeting, lieard the dv- namie address of Mr. Carswell and was greatl.y împressed withbus genial. Seottish abilitv to state the case and bis equal abilitv as a realistie businiessmani. Tliere will be mucli puiblic discussion regarding disposaI of unnised war materials and il vould be w-ell 10 bave tlie public full3- informned of thie situation.

The bad distribu- tion of goods followîug World War 1 wil1 be avoided aIthie end of Ibis war. Tbe usual commercial practices will bc follow-ed. Goods will bc sold 10 wliolesalcrs, wh-o in turn will distribute 10 retailers and they will reacli consumers. Any prospective buy-ers can gel complete information from a retailer w-ho is kept informed regarding specifie items for sale. Prices will be set by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board and Provincial and Municipal Governments îvill have priority of purebase, with individuals liaving access 10 the balance. The main idea is Iliat disposal will follow normal trade practices witli orderly, normal distribution and safeg-uards are set up defin- itel3- and absolutel3- to prevent Ull forms of speculation. Tbe schieme embraces all mov- able goods as w-cil as real estate# AIl w-ho lieard Mr. Carsw-ell's forthriglit address were reassured on tw-o main things. The Govern- nient lias secured the riglit man in tlie right place for Ibis important job.

The Director states it is bop- ed it will not be regarded merel3- as a Gov- ernment farni, but ratlier a conîmunitv farm for the beiiefit of ail eng-aged in borticultural crops. Already there bas been considerable local reaction concerning Ibis newv sub-station. Trenton is the homie 0w-n of dougbtY Wil- lianm Fraser, Liberal M.P. for Northîumber- land Counity. Siîîce lie entered the political pîcture. Trenton got onîe of Canada's great- est airfields wvhicli brouglit great prestige and wealtb to tuaI constituency. Now- cornes this niew- experîmental farm.

Tbere are about 10 vacancies and on bis record, Bill3 lias certainl:y earned an ap- pointment. Man3- in Durhîam Counî3- feel tbat this new- suli-station slioid bave been located here, whicb would bave been only a few miles furîlier West and in the beart of tbe apple countrv. But regrets are 100 late now; the thing is an nc'omlisbed fact. bis letter poinîts to the reasons. We urge ail, w-ho rend Ibis editorial 10 read also the en- tire letter. There are several thiîîgs that must occur to tlose w-ho wiil take the time ho study luis young ('anadian 's message 10 bis motber. First is the indication of bitter reaction in reg-ard 10 the "Zom-nie" question. Second is thie thought thaI despite bis handicap, lie This Army J D7 CapL lmore PhIIpt ENDS GERMAN SLAVERY The Crimean Agreement Seema ta me bbc most constructive move by leaders o! great nations blinI has been made in modemn imes. Il does Ihat rare thing in hisbory - weds bbc most hard-headed humane idealism wilh the mosb sure-footed realism. Il is bolh a practical plan ta w-lu Ibis war, and ta move as far forw-ard as mankind is now- will- ing and able la go 10 keep the future peace. The Crimea agreement bas de- lighted anc part o! bbc world and infurialed another by the crystal clarity o! ils plan for bbc de- militarization o! Germany. Not only are the German forces ta be be.aten mbt surreuder in this w-ar; bt Germany is ta be purged o! nùlitarism, for ah btime ta came, insofar as Ibat lies within the pow-er o! the tbrce masl powerful grQups o! nations in the world. This is not oniy good new-s for ail that vasl majarîby of buman beings w-ho want ta live theizr lives in peace, and w-ha loathe thé plunging o! bumanily imb récur- rent world w-ar. But il is even mare good ncw-s for Germany. Ib is a charter o! liberalion for the German people as truly as w-as Lincoln's proclamation for eman- cipation for the negro slaves. The German People Have Neyer yct been able la free themselves fram Iheir military over-lords. The difference belwcen Germany and the nations whidi are fighl- iug ta repel ber second bid for world mastery is this-Germany neyer in ber history staged a single solitary successful revalu- lion. Freedom neyer "slawly broadened daw-n from precedeul ta precedeul," as in England or Scandinavia. There w- a s n oj American 1776, no French 1789, for Gcrmany. There w-as neither the firsl nom second stage o! bbc Russian people's revolulion o! 1917. German people oflen tried ta rebel. They staged abortive reva- lutians. But nothing vital ever came ouI a! tbem. That w-as part- ly because tbe German military caste w-as so power!ully arganized.1 Ib w-as partly duc ta the over-1 servile qualibies in tbe Germans themselves. The masses w-re as dlay in bbc bauds o! their rulers.1 The militarist classes w-re as1 ruthless as any other gangsters lu other parts o! the warld. Aiter the first world w-ar, for instance, they murdered al bbe outstanding democratic leaders, or prospective leaders. They kill- ed not just a few, but literaliy bundreds. That w-as in the days w-heu Social Democracy w-as sup- posed ta rule the Reich and w-hile ±tiller w-as unknow-n. It Took 'A War to Free The Negro slaves. Il may take more than this second world w-ar ta free the German slaves !rom their masters. For the unfortunate fact is that the considerable mai ority of the people o! Germany are ual unwilling but willing slaves o! their militarist tyranny. It wil be one thing ta free them from the physical domina- tion o! the Nazi criminals, or !rom the less vulgar but far more pow-- erful tyranny a! the hereditary German military caste. It will be quite another thing ta free the Uerman mmnd !rom the unclean and evil obsessions from w-hich the lust ta war springs. Probably that lies autside the pow-er of any human being oulside Germnany it- self ta accomplish. But what is nat now- outside the pow-er o! non-Germaus is ta de- prive those Germans o! b h e physical means 10 harness their evil ideas ta monstrous devices for wholeàale slaughter. It Was a Good German Who has written the most powerful book of al aur lroubled limes. It is "World in Trance" by Leapold Schw-arzschild, and is published by Fischer's. Il is the mast devastating document 1 have ever read. The point of hiis book is that il is lileraily, physically impassible 10 be taa tough on German miii- tarism. It must be smashed, ground la atoms. "Before Germany can be called demilitarized generalions will have to pass o! w-hich no anc has ever beld a gun in bis hand, or crouched behind a machine gun, or served a cannon or tank or au airpiane, or bad anytbing la do with manufacture o! weapons or bandling of troops." Mr. Churchill said o! that book that it ouglit'10 be campulsory reading for every Member o! Par- liament. Obyiously the Big Tbree w-ho proclaimed the Crimea Charter have learned such lessons w-eh. mnust carry oui for the principles accephed by those w-ho voluuteered, and whidi w-ere un- derwritten by- Canada's Prime Miuister in 1939. Theni came the "bitter pili" tlîat, due ho thie Governmnent 's manpow-er polic3-, thc Cauîadian people were led iuto muuli iess hiu a 100 per' cent war effor't- Finalli camie thue revelation Ibat those w-ho were figbting auîd dying as the3- fouglit, were nol permit- ted 10 write about the political questions oui the home front. And flic w-nIer feels lie eau- not vote. Shînne is in every lhue of the letter. Shame on the Governimlent that gladl3- accepted bis voluntar3- service for Canada and for world freedom. He sticks 10 his front line job, def3ing dealli, loyal to bis pals, sick and waiting delayed medical attention as he is for lack of reinforcements, lie cannot for a momnt corne home ho bis "Mom" until lie bas fiuished the job 10 tie limit of bis en- durance. The finîal concept is: "Can we, afler il is ail over, and after reading these sentiments, bave a real acceptance of Na- tional Unit3 ini any or ail of the Provinces across Canada?" H1e raises uîot aun inter- race question but aun issue tluat culs across flue w-hole of Caunada.

Partv Lines Breakind Down Across Canada Todav From ex-er3- side as wve listeîu 10 local con- versationîs and read press despatches from coast ho coast, w-e are persuaded that party political hunes at tbc moment are breaking dow-n. People generally, iun spite of the stress of w-ar, are doing, some personal think- ing about bbc kind of Canada they hope ta LEdISLATIVE PROGRAM 0F PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT The Speech from the Throne at the opening recently of Ontario's provincial goverument reviewed some of the highlights in the im- plementation of Premier Drew's 22-point pre-election platform and went onl 10 forecast present legis- lation which now lias the atten- tion of the House. In the cross- f ire of debate it was indicated by a government supporter that the premier wouldn't hesitate to again appeal 10 the electorate if ob- structionism threatened 10 impair or prevent the main proposals of the government. In outlining improvements in education the Throne Speech indi- cated that about one quarter of the old school sections have now been merged int Township School Areas. More rural schools with an enrolment below 8 have been closed temporarily 10 bring the total 10 425. Bis presented include mea- sures 10 tighten control of stock transactions, also revision of elec- lion machinery 10, give ail soldiers the direct ballot. There will be changes in the Minimum Wage Act 10 give women better pay and reduce hours from 52 10 48 per week. Health measures s0 well ad- vanced by Hon. Dr. Vivian will be carried forward resolutely with extension of X-ray surveys, relief of overcrowding in mental hospitals, control of T.B. and V.D., and of cancer, with wide provi- sion for health measures 10 be undertaken by way of soldier re- habilitation.. In agriculture, steps will be taken to co-ordinate administra- tive plans for the O.A.C. and cor- relative colleges with extended facililies for researchi. County Agricultural Committees will be extended as rapidly as possible and the recently tabled Report o! the Ontario Agricultural Com- mission of Enquiry will be studied to effect its leading terms. Besides revamping mining legis- lation, municipalities will be per- mitted to collect taxtes from Crown tenants o! commercial pro- perties. Municipal reports show a sound financial position and have led in debt reduction ahl across Canada. They show- post- w-ar reserves o! $1,827,569. Plans for post-w-ar highw-ay construction bave been made but aI present capital expenditure will be confined to roads used largely for military purposes, camps, airporîs, w-ar industries. The general highw-ay plans are drawn to take up the slack in employment as w-ar plants close. The Hydro system bas steadily expanded witb 400 miles built as compared with 40 in 1943, and ser- vice given 10 10,000 new- consum- ers. Plans are laid for a vigorous 5-year posl-w-ar rural Hydro pro- gram. Conservation and flood control will continue vigorously ta be ad- vanced and 10w-n and regional planning will enable municipali- ties jointly with others and the province la co-ordinate post-w-ar endeavors. The above is but a sketcby sum- mary, the terms o! w-hich s0 far in House discussions have ual broughl forth any heated debales and certainly no indication o! a "'gang-up by opposition groups.

These ex- Liberals, joined in common cause against tbe present Liberal adnministration at 0t- taw-a, w-ou a resounding victorv over C'an- ada's Prime Minister w-ho souglut a seat for bis first-string Cabinet Minister, leneral Andrew- McNaii.obton.
