That these groups wills play an im- portant part is certain however as Gen, Eisenhower has issued iestruca tiens. to them by radio on three occas- ions, The underground movement has furnished the, Allies with very valu- able information in the past and ac- curate information supplied to the Allied command at the time of and during the examination will no doubt be of great assistance, These .folk who form the underground have not an easy task, They carry on their resistance knowing full well that their lives are at stake but in face of this their numbers increase. So far they have carried on a most difficult task and their part in future deyelopments will make thrilling reading. * * * HOW TO KEEP THE PEACE So that the world will not be plunged into another war within a few years of the completion of this strug- gle the heads of governments are now, even though invasion has not yet start- ed, planning and suggesting methods to insure peace. In the House of Commons last week Prime Minister Churchill advocated, to insure future peace, a world organization armed with overwhelming military power. This idea has the ear-marks of a good set-up for the job, We have to be realists if we are to insure peace for our children and our children's chil- dren, It has been found in order to have world peace the nations must co-operate one with the other. To keep any who would disturb the peace by not co-operating it may be neces- sary to use force and in that case the , co-operative nations must be prepared. Qt.C.#SER SUDERVISIQN.
