SAMUEL FARMER. Editor and Publisher. PORT -. EDITORIAL | / © "Buch ia the patriot's bod, where'er we ream: His first, best country ever is at home." THE EIGHT Fork : If the Churchill-Roosevélt. Eight Points c¢an be put into operation, there will have taken place the greatest movement toward permanent peace the world has ever started. : vo, | Tht this desirable outcorie of the great con- + ferénce will be easy is not expected by any who face the facts of life. Not only will there be opposition from those - , ] ; people whosé philosophy. of life is directly op-, ' posed to the "Eight Points"; but there will have to be a complete right about face by many of our people (both great and small) who have thought that "to the victor belong the spoils" and that "might is right," - Point four is a complete reversal of the under- lying purpose of national expansion movements, Possession of resources has been jealously guaid- ed as the foundation of national prosperity. And yet there is far-sighted good sense in' per- mitting all peoples the opportunity to purchase and develop the natural raw materials needed for their prosperity. No matter how we may 'at- tempt to protect ourselves as a people, the day* has arrived when the world rises and falls as a © unit, Prosperity in China is reflected in Canadian prosperity and vice versa, SA From the lowest to the highest groups of humanity this rule of interdependence. controls our -destinies. No permanent prosperity can come by robbing any peoples of the opportunity for their best development. _ He is an enemy 'to civilization who forcibly or by guile takes 'an undue share of the wealth of the world; or accepts such without making the best contribution possible to the general welfare .iof his fellow men." It will take much education and persuasion to put the "Eight Points" into operation. a a * . * "TOLERANCE It is pleasing to note the general indignation aroused by the dismissal of Miss Mae Kozak as school teacher at Hampton, because she was:-a + "foreigner." va : The incident brings sharply to the attention of our people the fact that only about. fifty per- cent. of our Canadian population is Anglo-Saxon." If we are going to oppose all "foreigners" in the Dominion we shall have perpetual strife and shall definitely halt the development of our country. "Foreigners" have. done much toward making Canada the glorious country that it is. _ MUSIC GOES OUT TQ THE PEOPLE By Kenneth Adam, in "British Library Leaflet" One night," Howard Fry was singing at a rest centre when, as 'often happens, the Luftwaffe re- turned for'a second bombing. Another rest cen- tre nearby was hit, and the casualties were brought into the hall wheré he: was. ~The bombs continued to fall, and distracted by the noise and the "sight of the wounded, his audience were drifting to the édge of panic. But Fry rallied them, made them join him in old-fashioned songs they. all knew, and the situation was saved. An instrumental trio who were booked to ap- . pear at midday in one of London's finest welfare institutes, arrived to find it demolished, with the exception" of the concert hall, whose walls still. stood. . The clambered over the ruins and sat down to play in a room without windows or doors, and without an audience. One by one the men of the fire service and the Demolition Squad who had worked through hell all night and all' morning, looked in, and at the finish the jmperturbable musicians had an audience of between thirty and forty people out of whose grimy faces and red- rimmed eyes there shone a pure light, Stories like this could be told almost without end. In the shelter] oo the people have learned to sing through the' dark winter, and sing well, so that in Bermondsey, for instance, they have - had a festival of shelter choirs judged by a pro- fessional musician.

It is quite difficult to get a complete list of the name of enlistments, and we shall be glad to receive and publish 7. To héng on long enough to draw a and nations to live alone." Clavence K. Streit, an American journalist, is the author of the "Union Now" idea. To quote from his hook: ~ "The-union would he designed (a) to provide effective com- mon government in our democratic world itthose fields where such common governments will clearly serve man's freedom better than separate governments, (b) to maintain independent national governments in all other fields where such government will best serve man's freedom, and (c) to create by its constitution a nucleus world government capable of growing into universal world government peacefully and as rapidly as such growth will best serve man's freedom. By (a) I mean the union of the North Atlantic democracies in these five fields: ' a union citizenship _ a union defence force a union customs-free economy a union money - _ a union postal and communications system; Everywhere nationalism in its zeal to make our nations in- tlstead of ourselves self-suflicing and dependent is centralizing government, giving it' more and more power over the citizen's business and life, putting more and more of that power in one man's hands, freeing the government from its dependence on the citizen while making him more and more dependent on it--on the pretext of keeping him independent of-other governments. Every- Jwhere the national state has tended to become a super-state in its power to dispose of citizen, his money, job and life. Every- where nationalism has been impoverishing the citizen with taxes, unemployment, depressions, and it is poverty--it is the desert, not the jungle--that stunts variety in life, that standardizes. Everywhere nationalism is casting the citizen increasingly in militarism's uniform robot mould." Prime Minister Mackenzie King has arrived safely in England, and Prime Minister Churchill has returned home from his conferences with Mr. Roosevelt. le The Russian-German situation ap- pears to be much the same. The forces engaged are tremendous and the area affected by war is vast. | The Russians have harvested most of their crop in the Ukraine, and they! have endless man power for defence. If they can hold the Germans in check until winter, there may be an- other "march to Moscow" with fatally results to the Germans. ~ Japan is comparatively quiet. WN * { Nels i> A A} \) hE { Ly
