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 making considerable preliminary progress towards formation into a strong defensive pact, and the coun- tries which will be in the alliance, -are hastily rearming, the sands of time alke 's #1•POSIM•4101111111111, !Asia.

Every method short of war should be taken to try -desperately to avoid au- other. world war, 0 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 ments.
