NO TIME FOR
COMPLACENCE
If another, still more disastrous,
world war is to be avoided, this is no
fitect for complacence and lackadaisical
action. Russia is ruled with an iron
band by an atheistic, autocratic, reali-
stic government. No considerations of
right and wrong, similar to the code
governing the actions of democratic
countries, are given ally credence
whatsoever in Communistic Soviet
countries. They have their own code
of ethics which is totally inexplicable
-to Christian nations. In Russia, might
is right and the strength of its oppon-
nts is the only factor deterring o
from predatory action against other
countries, in its program of world
conquest.
While the North Atlantic Alliance

progress towards formation into a
strong defensive pact, and the coun-
tries which will be in the alliance,

BRITONS DON'T LIVE TO
EAT THESE DAYS
Britons, down through the genera-
tions, have neither been noted as gour-
mets nor gluttons, but they have, for
the most part, been a well fed race,
fond of ample portions of good food
at each meal. Now, three years after
the end of the Second World War, the
dream of every Briton is for their land
to be a place where people can buy all
the meat and eggs they want or go out
in the street and buy baeanas and
sweets if they so desire.
The British people grumble more at
the deadly dullness and monotony of
their' food than at its scarcity, which
is most often apparent in the things
they wish most to buy. Since the drive
to save hard currency cut down the
import of such tinned foods as baked
beans and steak-and-kidney puddings,
dried eggs and other delicacies, /which
could formerly be purchased on the
points system, this. dullness has been
more pronounced. Most families spend
their r,ations in- one grand spree at
weekends and leave the rest of the
week to take care of itself. Fish,
which. is unratipned and abundant-,
sausages and 'offal, such as liver, are
the mainstay of the mid-week meals.
Almost all that can be obtained
with points now are cheese, tinned
soup and spaghetti. This, with varia-
tions in the type of meat, goes to feed
one person for a week: Two lamb
chops, two rashers of bacon one shell
egg, four ounces of margarine, three
ounces of butter, one ounce of cooking
fat, one small slice of cheese, two
Ounces of tea and a half pound of
sugar. Potatoes are off the ration and
vegetables are plentiful. While many
Britons have adopted the "eating-out"
habit to ease difficulties at home, few
Britisrers today live to eat. They have
to eat the rather dull,monotonous food
to live, but much of the pleasure has
gone out of the eating.

INDIA'S NEW ARMY
UNDER NATIVE, COMMAND '
In the new Indian Army all caste
and other barriers.-have been elimin-
ated, and the service- is .now open for
the first time' to all Indians. While the
Indian Army strength is not disclosed,
ft' is believed to number close to
300,000. Since the bulk of the British
officers departed, this army has seen
service under a majority, of native of-
ficers in Kasrmir and Hyderaliad, and
there has been no deterioration in the
discipline,, intelligence and general
smartness of the enlisted men.
Of 260 British officers still serving
in the Indian Armu mostly in :.-.dvis-
ory and technical capacities, almost
100 are expected to leave in Jaimary.
The others, including thi'ee generals
who are senior advisers, will remain
fOr periods' of three months to one
year. ,Only three British officers, in-
cluding. the present commander-in-
chief, now hold executive appoint-
tit
