JAMES G. GARDINER Minister of National War Services + That Fifth Column Joseph Denny Fifth Column tactics have been with us since the world began. The only difference is that they have appeared under various guises. It reminds us of a restaurant in Montreal in those earlier days. Every midday meal they had a special dessert; known by var- ious names. Sometimes they called it Mexican Pudding, another day as Cal- ifornia Delight and if the luckless eater was stung on the first attempt he was almost bound to be bitten on . the next. These fancy names always referred to some concoction of bread pudding that was dished up. The only reason why the customers indulged in it was because of its alluring designa- tion. f There were Fifth Columnists when the spies brought back their individ- ual report to the Elders of Isracl. So alarming was the story told by the ten which referred to the giants that had to be faced that the whole multi tude were bent on returning to Egypt. If it had not been for the allaying of these fears by Joshua and Caleb the Israelites would have revolted. Goliath the Bully was causing the perspiration to roll off the timorous foreheads of the nation every time he hurled his taunting jibes until young David with his sling and stones hit him so quickly that the giant did not even know what had taken place. Today a couple of "armed thugs parade European countries, For the most part they have caused consterna- tion, and fear and trembling is on every hand. Now they are brought to a standstill. They are by their Noodthirsty appearance asking Britons: "Why are {you not afraid?" The very fact that these cut-throats have had the-inhabitants of that stout little island "call their bluff" has caused the cold spells in rapid succes- sion to run up and down their chilling backs. One wonders why they have gained such an aacendency over the 'greater part of Europe. This is the secret. We found it in a pamphlet we read last week. There we learned that the 7 reason the Central Powers were beat- en in the Great War was because their soldiers were beaten on the home front. The Central Powers learned the secret that if the morale of the civilian population is kept up their i no need for alarm when its soldiers face the enemy. In fact the loss of morale is their most insidious foe. Apparently the Allies overlooked this fact; but the Axis Powers at once took advantage of it, and by means, mostly foul, have sought to under- mine the resistance of the foes they expect to vanquish; so that by using much treachery and striking fear into the hearts of their enemies they were able to overcome, in most cases, with- out the firing of a shot. We have scen how Fifth Column manocuvres work in national life. How do they operate in individual They are very evident when some one desires to make progress. He frequently receives nothing but ridicule and contempt for his pains, so that he is often tempted to abandon his chosen career, especially if it is at all unusual. His persecutors will taunt him, continually challenging him and saying how impossible it is for him to attain his desired success. Suppose, however, he does manage to steel himself against their discourage- ments and knocks, and, in spite of all obstacles, does manage to reach his goal. Then immediately his tor- mentors turn their ridicule into envy apd jealousy. Then their comments cases? because of his crookedness or double dealing. So that Fifth Column tricks are not unknown factor but are very evident even in individual lives, but appearing in forms of some kind or another, : It must not be forgotten however, that our national Fifth Column ad- versaries are strongly intrenched. They have heen prepared for this con- flict "De Tag" for the past twenty years. They have been substituting guns for butter and turning hard working labouring men into slaves. They have promised them an impos- sible Utopia in order that these gang- sters may ride roughshod over all Europe. Th ~ MARRIED MALCOLM-HENDERS A pretty wedding was solemnized in o Queen St. United Church, Lindsay, on Saturday -afternoon;-July---27th,--when Agnes Ruth, daughter of Mrs. Robert Henders, of Janctville, and the late Mr. Hénders, became the bride of i Marshall Victor, son of Mrs. Malcolm of Port Perry, and the late Mr. Mal- colm, > J Rev.
