A. Forrester, Publisher Thursday, November 17th, 1938 Hitler has asked for another part of Czechoslovakia. The Reich demands that the Doinaalioe region, southwest of Pilsen, which is populated almost entirely fey Czechoslovaks, fee handed over, The region constitutes, a Czech '-alient between the Sudenten areas to the north .acquired by Germany and the equally pure German areas to the south. There seems to be no limit to Hitler’s, demands and1 what he asks- for is generally -given to him without a murmur, * * * * Hon. Dir. -Manion was elected to the Dominion "House by the voters of London and he can now sit and direct the operations of the Opposition against the Government. In Parliament Dr. Manion will have an opportunity to asfeoieiate himself in the public mind with a definite policy. As the chosen leader df the Conservative party he will be largely responsible for the state of the party when it goes .into the next election, * * *• » When the Earl of Perth presented the new diplomatic credentials at Rome on Wednesday it involved Canada of Italyls conquest of Ethopia. It is reported that New Zealand has opposed recognition of the Italian conquest but if the government of that, Dominion wish- ed to- take an independent stand it would be necessary to appoint a minister of ills qwn with credentials to the “King of Italy,” without mentioning the Emperor of Ethopia, With the signing of the new credentials Great Britain and Italy and have at last arrived at à friendly state of affairs that may in time prove very beneficial to the British Empire as a whole. « •» * $ A Thought For Careless Motorists Cliff Davis, Commissioner of Public Safety for Memphis, Ten- nessee, is considering using in his battle to keefp that city “safest,” erf using license pilatefe with a human skull printed and the word “careless” printed underneath and the plates .and issue them to drivers who are arrested as traffic law violators. In Canada there are numerous accidents caused by careless. Not even the most reckless motorist has any intention of harming anyone by his carelessness. But when he takes a chance and drives in a man- ner which, under the surrounding circumstances is dangerous, .some- thing should be done to mark the driver as careless and this should curb a lot of recklebsness that is occurring on our highways every day of the year. Who would want such a license with a human, skull -stamped on it and mlake him a marked man' wherever he would go. It would be better for all concerned if the Minister of Highways would look into- the, matter and see if something could not be derived at to curb this hazard that is forever present on our Mighwayls, -A" ^ Remembrance Day Services On Friday last throughout the British Empire citizenia from every walk Of life gathered around "memorials' erected-in memory of those who failed to return from the great war and to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice. This year the people of Canada seemed to have given themselves more to till,, service than for a number of years past, no doubt -caused by the near conflict in Europe, when word was anxiously awaited: to inform the .people whether the crisis had been passed or whether it was to fee another conflagration, far more horrible than the one of over 20 years .ago, especially to the civilian population in the large centres. Remembrance Day should be a time to take stock of t*lie past â-  and also to look to the future. It should mean more than a few minutes silence with bo-wed heads, it should leave with us <a realization „ of wllat peace has cost, and to pledge ourselv* to do our part to make it endure for years to come. Those who fell in France did not hesi- tate to give their all so why should; we, who have ,a part to play, shirk our responsibilities. 'Tli ere are some people who would ! iko Remembra nee Day to be .declared a public holiday .so that they would be free from their labors arid to celebrate the day with sports and other amusements.: That is far away -from the principles, of the day. Though we did return vic- torious, there were left behind in France some 60,000 of Canada’s beat, and we who remain ishould with due .respect hold the day very solemnly in respect to those men who gave up their lives: that it should -make the world secure for nations; to live side by side in peace and harmony. * -x- * * The Mark of the Beast The world to-day is beng pmen led with an actual picture of what one would expect to have happened in the barbaous days before men really became civilized and Christianized, when men loved to torture . and slay, and had no hesitation in removing a feared opponent in the most ruthleas' manner. History is (supposed to tell us that “Nero fid- dled while Ron e burned.” It also tells us of persecution on the rack, at the stake, and many other ways. We had come to believe that those days were -over, but it seems the he.j-niai ways have returned, land because of the return all decoin people are turning in horror away from- Germany and its people. It hag been the custom to put the blame on Hitler. We are re- minded of his blood spurge when he allowed even iris friends to be slain because there was a danger of their interfering with his popu- larity. We know full well of the rape of Austria and' the sacrifice of • Czechoslovakia, and his constant demands for more and more. Now on top -of it all there is this ruthless prosecution of the Jews. All the blame for that cannot be laid at Hitler’s door for the people through- put the whole .and have -entered ini-:,... this ; cruelty, -and the leaders have utterod tirades in defense of their doings. .Surely there must be some sense of fairness left in Germany for it is hard to understand that this is the will of the whole- nation. However the whole world is looking with disgust toward Ger- many and a bitter feeling of hatred is feeing: fanned into a flame.. One redeeming feature coming out of it all is that while Germany delights to persecute and destroy the rest of the world is planning to receive and save. .One does .not have to be a prophet to foretell that “Der Tag” that Germany is looking forward- to will1 not be in harmony with its own dels ires and hopes,, but- rather it will beta day of destruction from which it may never recover. . It ie the place, of all right thinking people to see that the act of real charity shall .be done, toward the unfortunate Jews, and Provi- dence and time will see that the proper punishment is meted out to these doers of evil.
