Hockey Sweaters Arouse Ire— Never was sport so besmirched in the Bruce Capital as to have the rep- resentative hockey squad of the place cruising about as the advertising emis- saries of La'batt's lager by having the big beer baron's name scrolled across the sweater, they are wearing. It is a well-known fact that the liquor trade is spending enormous sums in adver- tising to get the beer drinking habit installed into thousands, almost mil- lions, of young men and women, who do not at present 'know the taste of booze, and if the gift of the Labatt sweaters, with the 'big shot's name emblazoned on them, and which do- nation was made through his district representative, Mr. Alex, Hogman, of town, who is president of the local club, isn't an advertising stunt, then what in the name of the seven sainted sisters is it? Parents who encourage their off -spring to attend 'hookey matches and view the world's fastest moving sport in operation, a411 hardly care to have their gaze focused on lager labelled uniforms as if suds and sport were sy nonomous, and as if the cognomen 'Labatt," was a name to dee conjured within any but a booze bibbler's imagination. Walkerton is not so short of funds that its 'hockey stars must be linked to a 'beer sign to get sweaters to func- tion in, and ,we have it on good auth- ority that a umber of citizens are al- ready preparing a subscription list to outfit the locals with a regalia that won't humiliate the sport with a suds insignia on it. In fact, with the protests we have heard against the brewers' balahoo it is quuestiona'ble if the box office re- ceipts, in view of the threatened boy- cott, wouldn't justify a prompt .change of garments until a new supply of sweaters can be brought on the scene, Walkerton may be the 'booze oasis of the district, and there may be some local 'Echrian so wedded to this idols as to rejoice in it, but to have our 'leading hockey squad dubbed the "Brewers" In the outside press is to add the last straw that breaks the ca- mel's 'back, and so the rush to get the beer banners off the Bruce Capitals before the name sticks, is amply jus- tified.—Vvalkerton Hera1•d=Times.

That ;little European country has vast possessions in the 'Far (East embrac- ing rich oil and rubber producing ter- ritory' and a population of .611.0' nritlion people. 'Japan needs oil and the most favorable place for obtaining it is in the present Dutch colonies. 'Holland has sent 'sulbutarines and a•erop'lanes to strengthen the defences of her pos- sessions which stretch a distance of three thousand.mules across' the Paci- fic and Indian oceans, But she' knows that she wou'id he una'b'le 'to retain her possessions, unaided, against the might of 'the Japanese army .and navy. Recognition of her own impotence makes her 'look longingly towards Singapore and the .chances that Brit- ain, in her own interests, would ''be clisposed to help her against an ag- gressor nation. In Europe 'Holland is in rnueh the sante position as Belgium, She lies'be- ttveen two antagonistic camps with in- comparably greater power than her own. 'When the League o'f Nations promised collective security and in- cluded all the members of the rival camps (Holland felt she cou'l'd safely subscribe to the Covenant and as- sume the obligation of ment'bership fn the League of Nations. 'But when France and Britain 'failed to enforce the .covenant against Japan an•d 'Italy and to insist upon the League carry- ing its sanctions policy 'through to a logical conclusion, the small nations lost faith in the possibility of making international law effective throughout the world and they 'b'ecame less dis- posed to make sacrifices for that ideal. They concluded that their 'best policy teas to show 'favor towards ' neither opposing camp but to 'fall 'back on a program of strict neutrality. For the present 'that is the attitude of both Holland and Belgium. Both are arm- ing to maintain neutrality and their national Independence against all CnntCTti . Changes may come in the interna- tional situation that .might affect this determination to keep clear of foreign entaglements. The Japanese menace to the 1Datch East Indies, for instance, has 'become more serious as a result of the •German anti-Communist pact and if Holland wishes to count upon British aid in 'the Tar 'East she may have to look .more favoralbly upon British aims in 'Europe. The Dutch are not unfriendly to- wards 'Germany but last year they smothered 'tire Nazi party in the gen- eral elections, the popular vote of the Nazis .declining from 294,000 to 17113- 000 or to less than 4 per .cent..a the total. A different set of circumstances similarly influenced the 'minds of the Belgian electors and they, too, over- whelmingly rejected the appeal of the Fascists in the 1191317 elections, The general trend in Europe may be ;pleas- ing to dictators 'but. at least a two little countries that are strategically located baffled .Fascist hopes during the 'last nine months, NEW ST.

Field Roots for 'Horses Turnips reps and carrots are the most commonly used of field roots as feed for horses. There is no question as to the value of field roots as ,feed for horses, a value which is too little ap- preciated. Roots are rarely sliced or pulped when'fed to horses for the reason that the outstanding virtue in root feeding is' the beneficial effect an the teeth and guns resulting from the necessary biting into 'the whole root. The prin- ciple values of roots in the ration for horses are: +1+. ]Increase palatability. 2.
