THOSE MISTAKES

Empire we cannot but recall terrible mistakes made by all
First we were mistaken in withdrawing or in conn-
was no
reader.
As
British
her citizens, . .
tenancing the withdrawal of troops from Germany after the last war.
By so doing we allowed our ancient and inveterate enemy to rearm.
Along with this we scrapped oux* ships and starved our army, per
mitting the Germans to arm meanwhile. We sold our steel and cop
per to Japan, thus providing her' with the’ material that now falls
in showers of .death upon oux* best and bravest. All the while we
tried to appease .the dragon by providing him with the tender flesh
of oux* childhood, saying sweetly we must be on good terms with
our neighbours and show the heathen an example of sweet charity.
We made the xnistake of holding Russia coldly at arm’s length and
regarding her as a stiff pumpkin among the nations that could not
withstand the German fury and in top-lofty self-sufficiency patron
ized China. We did not know, we Said. Well, we know now. We
trusted ixx the British and tlxe American navy. Pearl Harbour and
tlxe fate of the Prince of Wakes and the Repulse tell their own story.
We thought Singapore practically invulnerable. She fell in less
than three weeks before tlxe army we simperingly called tlxe “little
yellow nien”. These are a few of oux* mistakes.
The duty of the hour? In 'Canada the first requirement is to
get rid of the leaders who are strangled thexnselves and who are
throttling their, native laiid’by their ineffeciency. Nothing short of
a national government consisting of efficient men, whether in the
parliament or out of it. Unless 'this step is taken, nothing else
■counts. The Victory Loan xnust be made and when made it must
not be taken as anything short of the agony of the whole of the
people to get on with the war. The Canadian beaver >has it ixx him
to gnaw down every enemy of tlxe commonwealth, but this good
Work he cannot do while party politics are hamstringing every effort
, he puts forth. The worst of all .possible mistakes is’ to let things
drift as they are now.

Where are we going?
Sailors who have been in the storm for some time, have a way
of takixxg their bearings occasionally. • So it is with the allies ixx
the present struggle. Amid falling bombs and ruined cities and
sinking ships they have stopped to ask what the war is all about,
The answei’ is unmisthbable. The allies do not look to gain one
• foot of territory. They seek no man’s captivity or servitude. They
wish to lay no restraining hand on any humanizing enterprise.
They seek no good that they do not wish to have others share with
tlxenx on equal terms. They assert no racial superiority. They
covet xio man’s gold. They seek thdt every man ‘Upon whom thd
sun shines and tlxe rain falls shall receive the due reward of his
labor and enterprise. They desire that every man shall go about
his' work requiring only that no man and no nation shall prove
himself a nuisaxicc. Moreover the allies have shown for a thousand
years that their influence is dominant; races of every color and men
of every creed have had the blessed gift of freedom and the in-
estihxable privilege of making tlxeix’ own xnistakes. Little by little
■the oppressed people of Germany and Italy are learning that victory
for tlxe allies insures theix’ welfare. The lesson is slow in the learn
ing, Hitler and Mussolini ahd the war lords of Japan have taught
their underlings that the welfare of Germany and Italy and Japan
lies' in the way of tlie mailed fist and the iroix heel. They have
been taught that the ideal man is the one with adaxnant elbows who
forces -tlxe weaker man over tlxe cliff into the boiling sea. They
would have their dupes believe that ,tlxe fine and beautiful things
of life are but a scum upon the cesspool of existence. Little by little
the average German and Italian and Japanese is coming to see
that the tyrant who oppresses the foreigner will, should his immed
iate purpose be accomplished, turn his vicious forces upon the
weaker of his own land, till finally there will remain none but the
victorious brutes who batten upon the hearts and lifeblood of
their own kith and kin, Tyranny is self-exterminating, Hence
the new vision slowly coming to the countries now seemingly in
.the saddle but soon to be trodden under foot of the very cavalry
that now promises to lead them to victory. When the German
■people and the Italians see that the allies are their friends they
will soon make short shrift for the men who have received them
to their ruiu.

No other country in the world is better equipped than Canada to produce,
with minimum manpower, the prodigious quantities of foodstuffs required
by an Empire at war.
Equipment bought to do more work in less time and at less cost during
the years of drouth and depression has taken on greater importance now
that our war-time program in men and munitions has created a shortage
of labor and materials.
The importance of farm equipment has been recognized by the highest
material priority rating for civilian goods, yet even with this preference — so
great is the manufacturing program for war purposes—-it may not be possible
to meet the demand for farm equipment this year.
It will be necessary, therefore, to take extra good care of your present
equipment. Check it over to see thdt it is in good working order. Replace
damaged or worn-out parts now. Use your machines carefully, paying par
ticular attention to frequent and thorough lubrication of working parts. If it is
essential that you have a new machine, it is to your interest to place your order
as early as possible.
Through its extensive network Of branches and local dealers, the Massey-
Harris organization is prepared and equipped to give that prompt, reliable
service depended upon by generation after generation of Canadian farmers
since the pioneer days. Never before Was modern farming equipment so im
portant—your local Massey-Harris dealer is ready to help you keep your
equipment in good working Order.
