Passenger Agent Transferred To Toronto Events moved swiftest, by para- dox, in the east, where the war wasn't. Conferences between neu- tral nations assumed a significance great enough to draw the eyes of the world away from the activities of the warring powers-to watch Russia and Finland, Russia and Turkey, Russia and the Balkan states englge in diplomatic con- tests the outcome of which will affect Europe far into the future. People began to understand the terrifie price Hitler was having to pay for promised economic lid from the U.S.S.R. The world had time to ask itself questions: What was the war about? Would it come to an end with the fail ot Hitler's regime? What sort of government could follow Mitler's, with Germany in its present state of semi-collapse? How were the Allies to restore Poland in toto without going to war against Russia, too? Where did Italy fit into this jig-saw puz- zle? Had the Rome-Berlin Axis been split in two by the signing of the Nazi-Soviet pact? What would happen to Norway and Sweden if Russia gained control of the Gulf of Finland? With Hitler defeat- eu in the east already, what could he do in the west? Almost Quiet On Western Front On the Western Front the war hung tire. Some activity was seen in the "ovthcasiern sector from the Moselle to the Rhine, and in the Saar area and 30,000 British troops moved into action. But no major push came. As one wit re- marked: "Soldiers said they knew it was a war because the eooties wore biting." lint VW,; it the calm before the atom? r.' he train.. lnnnk of heasy artillery noving up behind the Siegfried Line mean that Hitler. was >hortly to launch a "mitzkriez" should his "peace offensive" fail? Were the Allies waiting for c:lder weather to come? A whole winter on the n-onomic front might see Ger- many crack at home under the strain. But war or no war, towards the and of the week things began to happen on the sea and in the air. The Allies sank several German submarines, which cost millions of dollars apiece. Germany launched new submarine attacks on Allied and neutral shipping and air at- tacks on naval bases. Biggest news stories of the week featured the sinking of the British battle- ship Royal Oak with a loss of 370 lives; and the air battle over Scot- land in which German planes were driven " three times. Ger- man propaganda reports of Allied battleships sunk or crippled in many seas were far from reality but continued to alarm the popu- _ lace. . WEEK BY WEEK At the beginning of its. sixth week, Europe's big war could scar- cely be said to have got going yet. The powers in tronfiiet appeared to be hesitatimr in the midst of hostilities before taking the final plunge, while peace talk took pre- cedence everywhere over war talk. Even after Premiers Daladier of " once and Chamberlain of Great Britain had come out flatly in re- jection of Hitler's proposals for an armistice, the world continued to look for furthtr peace offers to come from some quarter (from President Roosevelt,' Mussolini or Queen Wilhelmina, perhaps) - offers which both sides could ac- cept without too much loss of face. The war was indeed an unwelcome baby on every doorstep, Hitler or no Hitler. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO NEWS PARADE A Terrible Price THE WAR: Whatever you and we may think about Hitler and Hitlerism, we must recognize that the man is the idol of millions of young Ger- mans, the institution is the shrine at which they worship, and they will not be easily disillusioned. Therefore, democracy's task on the home front during the war years is to prepare a house in order; one they will instantly re- cognize " something infinitely bet- ter than the democracy their Bit. ler strove to overthrow. Indeed, we shall have to prepare to face our own‘youth.

From Vancduver comes the news that Yampolsky, Quovadis, Costello and Zorn are all good Scots in the Seaforth Highlanders now. Russian Jew and Man of Ger- man Descent Also Join Sea- forths in Vancouver Kilt Attracts Already the Royal Canadian Air Force is using 22 Canadian flying clubs to provide the preliminary training for its fiiers. The inter- mediate training is given at Camp Borden and the advanced train- ing " Trenton. The statement issued by Prime Minister Mackenzie King indicates the completion of long-considered plans for mobilizing the Canadian aircraft industry and air training facilities for the service of the Empire in the war. Greatly Advanced In connection with training, Canada is one of the most. advanc- ed countries in the world in so far as civil aviation is concerned and the facilities for training civilian pilots may be utilized in the war scheme. Aircraft manufacturing and air training schools in Canada will be called upon to play a larger part in the Empire's war effort in light of the announcement and in London that -(lvanced air train- ing will be centralized in Canada and steps will be taken to speed production. Candi“: I'raining Efficient The announcement that Empire Him-s from the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand will be given advanced training in Can. ada is interpreted in aviation cir- eles as a tribute to the eMeieney of the Canadian training.
