Before the new state of affairs could be ac- curately assessed and events seen in their true perspective, a cer- tain period of time would have to elapse, For the time being, of course, the war of nerves was ,over, But what did the future hold? Nii « A number of important ques- tions, geographic, diplomatic, ec onomic, were raised by Hitler's invasion of Denmark and Scand- inavia: Was the German action merely a counter-move against the Allies in order to secure bases to break the British blockade? Or was it also a political move, con- sequent upon which the conquer- ed territories would be reduced to the status of Austria; --Czecho- slovakia, Poland? Would the "Al- lies be able to drive the German army out of their new entrenched positions by air bombardments, by a naval war, or by land action? Would Holland and Belgium be the next countries fo undergo invasion by German armies? Would the Balkan front be opened up while the attention of the powers was held in the "north? Would Mussolini seize the opportunity to take over riatic bloc"? What would happen to Iceland, Greenland? What would Russia do, should the war in the north be prolonged? What effect would the 'new Nazi ag- gressions have on the neutrality of the United States? One thing was ceriain at the outset -- Germany would now have butter as well as guns. The cuiting-off "of all Danish exports to Great Britain (her best cus- omer) meant. ithe release of enor- mous supplies of butter, bacon, eggs for German consumption. The April 9 Blitzkrieg 'also assur- ed Germany of vital raw mater- ials from Scandinavia -- iron ore, iron pyrites, zinc, antimony and timber --- needed to carry on the war. : ~ War Closer Here To Great Britain, loss of Dan. ish foodstuffs, Scandinavian raw materials, meant a greater de- pendence on North America, Aus- tralia and New Zealand, for sup- plies. The increased Allied de- mands made themselves, felt in Canada immediately with the set- ting up of a Ministry of Supply, headed by Hon, C. D. Howe, to handle all war purchases. Thus was Canada drawn closer war . . . not just because Greenlan ppened to be a neigh- bour of ours. b New General Manager C. P. Express Company s J.

Pupil Exchange Idea Valuable Helpful to Students and To Countries. Promotes Under- standing and Good-will There never was a time when mutual understanding among young people living at a distance from one another was as sorely needed as in our day and age, says the Kitéhen- er Record, So it is of interest to no- tico something of the way in which our schools help young Canadians to become acquainted in other pro- _vinces and other countries. Each year brings over 2,000 full- time students from tho United States to our colleges and private scheols, in addition to. those who come for summer courses. A third or more of these come to- our French language institutions, and probably most of them are from fa- milies who were at one time Can- adian. EXCHANGE AMONG PROVINCES Several hundred come each year from Newfoundland, especially to our- Atlantic. provinces, and nearly a hundred from the British West «Indies who also study mainly ii: the Maritimes.

There fs a fairly large movement of students between provinces, Nearly 5,000 attend colleges or pri- vate schools outside of their prov- ince of ordinary residence. The Na- tional, Federation of Canadian Uni vesity Students, with the co-opera- tion of the universities, in recent years has facilitated this exchange by providing an arrangement whereby students in different uni- versitics may exchange places for a year.

A DOCTOR'S HOLIDAY IN IRAN By Rosalie Mcrton Dr. Morton, famous woman physician and surgeon, here pre- sents an informal and informative study of Persia, the ancient:East- ern land which has turned its face toward progress at a=-time when Europe shows signs of evolution in reverse. "The unveiling. of wo- men," writes Dr. Morton, "has caught the world's imagination, but this is only a minor phase of the 'uwakening of Asia. Iran today is a lesson in modernism and an anmiple "of youth world." The author gives us a sympath- etic picture of the people, the no- mads, the villagers, the city dwel- lers, as they adjust themselvgs-to a new tempo of living -- Tn a country as old as time, which still looks to the future with hope and confidence.
