Why Edward Went The Duke of Windsor may well pray to be saved from his friends. An Englishman, a. former London. staff correspondent of the NEW YORK •IfERALD' TRIBUNE, has written a bock for publicationin the United °States—he could not publish it in Eng- land --in the hope that the informa- tion he offers may find its way back 'to his own country. Tie comes to the defence of ex -King Edward VIII a- gainst the combination of clique and ;•'ehurch which seems.. to, have forced the abdication, and he gets quite nas- `ty -abort the whole situation at times. Frankly, we see no reason for raking rover the episode of December, 1936, 'once again, and we have promised ourselves that this w,fil be the last Edward book we shall read for some `time. Indeed, there are elements in the book 'which are perilously close to sedition, and which will not help 'the cause of the' Windsors at all — especially in Canada.' The abdication, however regrettable, was necessary -and all the real friends of the former King will not want to make' his posi- tion any more difficult by throwing 'dust in the air. Let us think rather of Edward VIII as he gave his last farewell address to the Empire and, 'When he reached a rare elevation of nobility and 'sincerity, and to him no dis-service by attacking those who had equal responsibilities to fulfil and, who fulfilled them. We ignore Mr. Wells' attack on the church because his quotations from the book an "Marriage" by Ion Blum '£or the translation of which into Eng lisp he is responsible, and his genet' - Germany: The Last Four Years THE BANKER in its issue of February, 1937, published an analy- sis of the economic. and social situa- tion in Germany, by one who calls hint Germanicus. He claimed., that Ger- many had not achieved 'what she claimed to have achieved, and that the internal condition of the country, especially her, agricultural production, was menacing. He also submitted the alleged budgets of Herr- Schacht to some very incisive analysis. The pub- lication led to a rebuttal front the German Institute of Business . Re- search, and now in this volume we have the original analysis, the re- buttal of the German Institute, and the counter -reply of Gertnanicus. It is all very stimulating, especially to an economist, and the present uncer- tain status of Herr Schacht lends some weight to the strictures of Ger- menials, Geramnicus is resolutely opposed to "the constant stream of propagan- da in favour of credits for • Ger- many". He says that "the notion that English money would stem the tide of Communism from flowing into Germany is inherently ridiculous. English money is far more likely to be used for the creation of poison gas and other delectable mmntions". From the' standpoint of the investor, "Germany is a bottomless pit"; it is difficult for most 'Englishmen to 9iscover any fundamental differences between the "principles' of Com- munism and Naziism"; and he con- cludes that Herr Hitler must reap what he has sown and his 'nuisance value' must be ;discounted in his own disil'lttsioned country and not in the city of London. Having last week given much space to' those who' plead for Anglo -Ger- man friendship, we feel that it is only fair to can attention to the other part of the picture. ^ �' ADVANCE LESSON The bright young thing came into oho room and smiled at bet' mother.

"WHAT SMILES CAN DO" A smile is quite a funny thing, It wrinkles up your face, And when it's gone, you never find Its secret hiding place. But far more wonderful it is To see what smiles can do, You smile at one, she smiles at you So one smile makes two. She smiles at someone since you smiled And then that one smiles back, And that one smiles, until in truth You fail in keeping track. And as a smile can do great good By cheering, hearts of care, Let's smile, and smile, and not forget That smiles go everywhere. —Contributed. THINGS THAT ENDURE Honor and truth and manhood— These are the things that stand, Though the sneer and jibe of the cynic tribe Aro loud throughout the land. The scoffer may lord it an hour on earth, And a lie may live for a day, But truth and honor and manly worth Are things that endure alway. Courage and toil and service, Old, yet forever new— This ewThis is the rock that abides he shock, And holds through the storm, flint- true. Fad and folly,. the whims of an hour, May bicker and rant and thrill; But the living granite of truth will tower, Long after their age is still. Labor and love and virtue— Time does net dim their glow; Though the smart may say, in their languid way, "We've outgrown all; that, you know!" But a lie, whatever the guise it wears, Is a lie as it was of yore; And a truth that has lasted` a million years, Is good for a million more! —Exchange. THE JOY OF WORK Don't pity the man who hustles all the whole day through— But pity the other fellow who hasn't a thing to do'. Condole with the chap who's idle, who has no "row to hoe," With no one depending on hint, ,and nothing to make him grow. He misses the !rest of living, the joy of work well done, The thrill of high achievement and victories nobly won. And the man who "digs fn" daily, and whose bread and butter depends On his doing liis very utmost, and who earns all he spends— Whose life is filled with sweetness in worn as well as play. Is the one wlio finds completeness in every well -spent day— His joy is in providing—through his own brawn and brain For those whose love inspires him to hustle with might and train. That man will keep on climbing, and nothing can make hint stop; For with such power behind him 'he's sure to reach the top. So envy the man: who hustles, and needs to hustle too; And from your heart be thankful if that man should be—YOUI Exchange.

With nuts in their pockets and snow- drops for tea) I wondered why summer -time whim- pered to stay In a land made for robins—and dais, ies in May. —Mary Elizabeth Davis. THE BLANK BOOK Here is a book with pages white, No inky stain is there insight. it is so pure and clean a thing, With not a cruel word to sting, That I can hardly bear to take My pen and its white silence break, For poor writing or words of mine Might spoil its beauty, se sublime. And yet with pain and care I might Some pretty little sentence write— Some words. to make some one feel - glad, E'en though the writing might be bad; Some little bit of happy song That may be seen and read long, long' After the writer's hand is still, And with glad thoughts some Life may fill. -Will Faraday. HARMLESS HUNTING In the woods in winter, When deep lies the snow in the forest aisles, and Brooks no longer flow; Then I da my hunting, But not with a gun! No; I follow signs which Show which way has run Hardy forest dwellers, Wand'ring through the wood, Making tell-tale tracks while Seeking for their food! Here has raced a weasel! Here a rabbit sped! Here the tiny deer -mouse Skipped with noiseless tread! Here some sly opossum Left a curious trail! Here the woodchuck foraged! Yonder brushed a quail! Really, there's more profit, And a lot more fun, Puzzling out these signs than Stalking with a gun. —Clarence Mansfield Lindsay. A Garden The 'kiss of the sun for pardon, The 'song of the birds for mirth; You're nearer God's heart ' in al garden Than anywhere else on earth. Follow summer to its all -year home.
