GETTING INTO TllE STRIDE
Devious ways mark treacherous foe. Japan approached the
United States with one hand open to clasp the hand -of the best
international friend she ever had. In the other hand she concealed
the poisoned dagger. More leprous treachery never was practised
in all the history -of diplomacy than Japan practised with the United
States. Even Hitler was never-. more deceptive than was the
Japanese government -on this occasion. When We have said that
wo can say no- more. Herself a coward, Japan was sure that the
■ United States would’ succumb on the delivery’of the first lightning
blows, struck, as they were, altogether beneath fhe belt. Uncle Sain
is not knocked out by any manner of means. 'He is looking about ' ,
him in wonder that any nation should be so perfidious' as f Japan
has proven. Next, he’ll do a little something in the way of fight
ing. He has been in rough company before now. He isn’t, saying
what lie’ll do. He leaves events to make,that known? We have our
q.uiet thoughts about how much vyill be left of the military party
in Japan When Uncle Sam is through with this present row.

Events in the Pacific have been so startling

Hitler is not likely to eat his Christmas pudding in Moscow. We
have no expectation that he’ll* strike any medals from Leningrad.
We’re liot prophets, noi* are we prophets’ sons, but we venture to
say -that the Russians have no intention of allowing the Germans to
take it easy in luxurious dugouts till balmy spring once more al
lows the German tanks to renew their oppressive work. All that
sort of thing may well be left in the hands of the Russians. They
know their business. ' ;‘ » ♦ * # *
WHERE THE MENACE LIES
Let us not overlook the fact that Germany is our real menace.
If Japan were'defeated tomorrow and Hitler still in the field we’d
be in the gravest danger, Hitler is using Japan as a sort of will of the
wisp to get our attention off what he steadfastly intends doing to
us. We have a lot to do with Japan on our hands. We must be
alert in that quarter, but our great foe is Germany. Germany
must be destroyed. Till Germany is thoroughly disposed of there is
no safety for us, Russia knows -Germany and refuses to be* diverted
from the task of thoroughly beating Germany, the world’s enemy
number one. This isn’t the first time that Russia has been right.
IT DOESN’T EXPLAIN
-Germany would have us believe that she is getting ready to
make an assault on Britain, or that she is moving her troops from
her assault on Moscow and Leningrad and the Caucasus to get them
ever to Africa, where, by the way, they are greatly needed. Hitler
would be nearer the truth were he to say that the Russians have
given him what the Duke of -Wellington said Blucher got at Ligny.
The German Brutes, as Earl Balfour describes them, do not like
the Russian winter, they say. And again they would be nearer
the truth were they to say that they do not like the Russian bayonets
and tanks and airplanes. Hitler moves with the insistence of a
gimlet till he meets. Something that turns his point. Russia has
proven to be that very thing.******* *
THEY’VE LEARNED
Having discovered the folly that induced .them to prepare the
taws with which Japan is now tanning their backS, John Bull and
Jack Canuck and Uncle Sain are now getting down seriously to the
business of war. These worthies do not enjoy the. black and blue
marks the Rising Sunners have laid upon .their epidermis. They
now realize that they are contending with a diligent, merciless foe
who gives nib quarter. Those Japs can strike hard and fast. What
is "of quite as. much importance just now, they know where to strike.
The allies soon will learn that the only way to victory is to strike
harder and at longer range than-their enemies, and to strike before
the enemy gets in his' dadly work,

be destroyed. Canada sees
0 this. That this terrible' work may be done, every man, woman;
child, must get ready to do his part. It will not do to Scotch the
snake. The poisonous reptile must be annihilated. Little by little
the Canadian government is learning that it cannot be ruled by its
likes and dislikes but by the overwhelming decrees of necessity.
Every day is making this more evident. Every day the hour is
nearer when the demands of the occasion will be felt by. every
fireside, in every store*, in every byre and field. The fair face of
woman will not exempt her. Fitness for the air or the sea or the
tented field will lay its hand upon men physicallyfit. Ability
to serve in office or factory or behind a .car wheel will lay its. hand
upon those less favoured in bodily vigour. Let no one deceive him

never tried Canadians until this glowing hour. The only place -of
safety is in the path -of duty. ‘‘Whatever men dare they can do.”* * * * * *
* FARMER GRAY AND RUBBER > RATIONING
Farmer Gray heard of the rubber rationing and resolved to
do some stock-taking. First of all, there*was his car. The tires,
were well worn and the tubes had been repaired a number of times.
Then there was his tractor with its rubber tires, a bit worn, to be
sure. Then there was the milking machine with its outfit of rub
ber tubing. Here and there all over his machinery there were ■
rubber contrivances used to prevent shocks and jars. There was,
moreover, the baby's bottle. And what about the baker, with his
precarious tires, and the truckman’ who had gone the limit in the
hope that the war would soon be over, all of which involved his
marketing of cream and milk and hogs and cattle and sheep. What
about the bus that took the youngsters to school? What of the
rubber used in aspirators of one sort and another.. How was he to
get his thinning hair edmbed as the war went its relentless way?
What of the comforting hot water bottle? Then he thought of the
sleighs and the bu'ggy and the cutter, but there was scant comfort
there, for the waj* god demanded steel and lots of It. Within one
little minute the ‘problems on a thousand -farms, yes, ten thousand
farms, had taken a graver aspect, bad as the situation already had
been. If difficulties make men great, the farmers of this country
soon will be heroes. Farmers never fail the commonwealth.********
SOblE things that can be DONE
Municipal bodies, in cooperation with the government, pro-
vlhcifil or federal, as the case may be, can and should get certain
things done. For instance, the seventh and eighth grades of our
public schools may well be closed by the first of June or even by
the middle of May without loss to anyone, thus allowing teachers
and pupils to get out on the farms. The municipal authorities may
easily look after this matter, The pupils taking the first two years’
work in high schools and collegiate institutes come undei’ the same
category. Business men, instead of taking the usual half holiday
per Week, may well give the half holiday to farm service. And So
on down the whole line -of. industry. There are inconveniences, we
know, in doing this, but Japan may make things very inconvenient
for us. We are urged by necessity, and necessity knows no law,
The help we mention may not be able to do a full day’s Work but
each one can do (a little. It is no longer a mattei4 of what we*d
like to see going' on, but h time fox’ ’the- best vze can, We cannot
carry on as usual, ,
Further, Oh tlfe farm as elsewhere, there is need for the best
of blanking. Japanese bombs and cannon are drumming it into
our ears that peace time methods will not meet the present situa
tion, It is not a matter of living well, or as we prefer, but a mat
ter of living at ail.
