"A great volce'teacher has sald: "The eat is three-quarters the tea: % cher," And other experts explain i'this by pointing out that listening sympathetically and intereatedly 'first relaxes the body and, second-- ly, gives one direct concentration on what he Is about to say. * Therefore an utterly relaxed per- son who fs honestly concentrating - posséeses three g.eat assots to ' beautiful, speech: (1) clarity of tone and enunciation; (2) vivid. ness In expressions because speech on 'the! subject' fs to 'the int; (3) ability to concentrate on the idea instead of on the 'impression being \ made while talking. * THE WAR-WEEK--Commentary on Current Events Fow people last week allowed themselves to be lulled into a sense of security by seeming Inactivity on the part of Germany. Rather, it wag everywhere felt that Hitler, completing consolidation of his eastward position -- In the Baltic, in'the Balkans -- was awaiting only the moment, to strike at Britain. THE OHOICE FOR BRITAIN Reports circulating In Rome had it that first Italy and Germany would serve an ultimatum upon Great Britain offering -her the 'choice between surrender and des- truction, An article in Virginio Gay- da's newspaper, obviously referring to Prime Minister Churchill's own speech of July 14th, said that "Bri tain will have to settle to her last account, choosing between submis- slon to the renovafilng, restorative forces of Europe, or extremely grim and violent war in which inexor- able destruction, a fateful; precipi- tous step toward final overthrow, will" be measured not by years or weeks, of which Churchill spoke, but by days or hours." : THE PUSH SOUTH A cabled dispatch from - Kirkpatrick, Chicago News' corres. pondent in London, reported Indi cations last week wero that Ger- man forces might go southward either before or simultaneously with their expected attack on Great Britain; their< objectives being Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and the Azores, (Military experts regard' Gibraltar and the Azores amoung "the primary German objectives, as both of these can control and dom- inate some of the world's most jm- portant trade routes). BRITAIN: Stormy receptions in tho British House met these an. nouncements: that Great Britain had formally acceded to Japan's request to close the Burma road lifeline of the central Chinese gov. ernment: that a bill dispensing with trial by jury and the right of appeal In wartime Britain was be- ing pushed by the Home Secre- tary; that the government scheme to evacuato children to the Western hemisphere had been postponed. Primo Minister Churchill in his Sunday address declared that the British would rather see London laid In ruins than Hitler victorious. Germans who enter Britain will get short shrift, the Premler said, and should the invader come, thers will "be no lying down to him as in other countries. "A LONG WAR" _ A Russian writer, estimating Brl- tain's chances in the coming strug- gle with Germany, said last week: "If Britain is really determined to tight to a victorious end, then, re. lying upon her geographical posi tion, the tremendous power of her naval forces and exceptionally pow- erful fi fal and ec fc re- sources of the British 'metropolis, maintain a long, stubborn resist ance . . . The landing of armed forces on tho British Isles repre gents, even for the powerful Ger- man army, an exceptionally difficult operation, This perhaps is still the only real means by which Britain might be forced to capitulate, un- lees the struggle ends in some com- promise. That js why the war: may continue for a long time and assume completely new forms." 'During the week, while German tacks on coastal defenses of Eng- land, daring RAF. bombing squad- rons acted more vigorously than ever in flights over Germany. They wrought great havoc upon airports, barge concentrations, oil depots, munitions factories and jumping- oft 'places for enemy air forces and invading troops. ~END.OF- REPUBLIC FRANCE: The end of the demo- oratic Third French Republic -- which rose from tho ashes of 'the Empire of Napoleon III and fell 'unider the Nazl conquest -- was reached last weok when the French the Government of Marshal Petain full .powers a now Constitution.

Collapse of the Yonai regime was ascribed to three major reasons: 1. Its failure to satisfy expansion- ists, who have been Jemanding that Japan take full advantage of the ugolden" situatidn created by the tall of France and Holland, both ot whom have rich colonies In the Far East, 2. Desire for closer alignment with Gormany and Italy. This was considered impossible so long 'as Premier Yonai and his Foreign Minister, Hachiro Arita, -remained in office. 3. Dissatisfaction with the Yonal regime sinco its inception, on the ground of its "oxcessive'™ berai- fem. ies SYRIA'S THE KEY NEAR EAST: Events moved to ward a showdown in the Near East. Beneath an outward calm, forces were brewing last week In: Syria, which may change the cntiro face of that part of the world. In" a dis. patch from Cairo, New York Times' correspondent Joseph Levy wrote: "It is generally agreed that Syria today js the koy to the situation in the Near East, Whatever happens in Syria, whether .political or mili- tary, will affect all other Arab lands. Now that France has collap- sed, Arab nationalist aims, politi- cal' ambitions, and the long-dream- od-of federation of the Arab States | have sprung to sudden rebirth.

NO. 1 GUESSING GAME UNITED STATES: One of the biggest guessing games In all his- tory was In progress last week at the Democratic national convention in Chicago, while the delegates (and tho candidates) = waited, feeling more and more frustrated, for Pre- sldent Roosevelt to come out with his intentions. For engineered -8us- pense, thero had perbaps never "been anything like it. The week before the convention had been eventful. President Roose- velt, declaring that the United States must prepare' for "lotal de- tonse" asked Congress for $4,848 181,957 additional for the army and navy and proclaimed this two-fold polley: "We will not send our men to take part in European wars"... "But we will repel aggression ag- ainst the United States or the West- * ern hemisphere . . . The huge out lay, which brought the session's - appropriations for the armed fore- es to $10,100,078,270, is designed to give the United States: a start on its "two-ocean" navy, a combined army-navy-air force of about 36,000 planes and modern weapons and equipment for a land force of 2,000, 000 men.

Tho business of national registra. tion--a tremendous undertaking --- is being looked after by the newly- created War Services Department under Hon. J. G. Gardiner, former Minister of Agriculture.

When Lord Baden-Powell visited Toronto in 1923, during a tour of Canada, he told eight Wolf Cub flag bearers that it they ever came to London ho would "stand them a real English tea."
