It is as if we had been in a tug-of-war, with life itself as the prize. Now suddenly, the line seems loose in our hands. We must brace ourselves lest the pent up force of our own power send us plunging backward into disorder. Joy is natural to us at this time; but let us be glad wisely. Much remains to be done. Much sacrifice• must yet be endured if we are to establish on this world' that peace and order which is, and has been, our real goal. Thankful we should be. Proud we may well be of the courageous fidelity of our fighting men and the women who have backed them up; and of the proven quality of our technical minds and industrial workers. Let us face the future with confident deter- mination that Canada's new war-developed abilities shall be applied to assure better living for all our people.
