Importing ice into Canada in the summer of 1941, should end the &rguJnent which the late Rudyard Kipling started in 'his . "0 La poem, ur dy of the snows." The present summer may not have been the warmesf on reeord, but it was up there with the past cen!llry's headliners. Most people, for a time, quit counting the nights when they di(Jn't need cover of aiiy kind, let alone an extra blanket on towards morn- ing.

This statement also carries a certain ambiguity, Ji may .mean, ~~rdlng to in- fonnation, that British War prisoners are not doing badly at all. On the other hand, it may mean no more-than that things could be much worse for them than they are. In this war, British fighting men who have fallen into enemy hands have, in the majo•ity, done so as men sacrificed in the interest of larger bodies of troops. They rank, therefore, next to the Royal Air Force in service rendered out of heroism and splendid discipline. Those sacrificed ohould be constantly remembered, with ever deepening sratitude, a.s time restores the balance and brings this Empire nearer to a elear-cut victory. Ever so often, loose thinkers break forth with statements of what they would like to do or want done to German prisoners of war in retalliation for German air raids or things like that. E\'en suggestions of that sort can react in an unhappy way on British prisoners of war in the enemy's hands.
