SMALLER CENTRES
IMPORTANT
R. T. Kelley-. guest at the clos-
9n•g luncheon meeting, spoke of the
importance of restoring purchasing
grower to the farmer as a means of
snaking Canada prosperous. He re-
ferred to the important place of
small communities in the life of the
Dominion, and thought If immigra-
tion increased it would be more ad-
vantageous to the new arrivals i£
they settled in the smaller centres.

T H E WAR -WEE K-•Com"mentary on Current Events
German Drive Against Suez
Develops On Three Fronts
Following the loss of the Battle
of the Balkans, it was generally
recognized in military circles that
Britain's strategic triangle of bases
-Crete, Cyprus, Alexandria -vital
for operations in the eastern Medi-
terranean would shortly he sub-
jected to strong attacks by Axis
forces driving toward the Suez
Canal. Last week the first major
blows fell wlien Nazi planes and
men began to move into Syria, out-
flanking Cyprus and contributing
to Turkish encirclement; when
Crete had to counter the shock of
a Nazi airborne invasion; and
'when Alexandria. already threat-
ened by the Axis thrust into Egypt,
became the object of repeated
bombing raids.
The Strategic Triangle
On the subject of the Battle ot
Crete, "Time." May 19, had this
to say: "If Crete should fall. the
British position in the eastern Medi-
terranean would. be pretty nearly
untenable. The British would then
have no practicable advance naval
bases, and German bombers would
have almost a semi -chicle of air
bases within easy striking distance
of the Suez Canal and of Alexan-
dria, the last intact fleet base."
We might add that the Axis' task
or proceeding overland from the
east against Suez ;would be con-
siderably expedited.
Axis Uses Syria
Last week General Wavell was
in a very uncomfortable position
with regard to Syria. He had to
watch the Germans vse Syria as
a highway to pile up forces to at-
tack him, yet was unable to take
decisive. action without making an
amen p,no1 bloody •breach with the
French.
Looking at the brighter side of
the picture, Associated Press cor-
respondent Dewitt Mackenzie
pointed out that the surrender of
the Duke of Aosta with a foa•ce
of from -35,000 to 38,000 troops in
Ethiopia released an important
British force to help meet the new
. Axis offensive.
Which Way to Jump
The biggest intangibles in the
whole Middle Eastern situation
were the attitudes of Turkey, Rus-
sia and France. Last week none of
the three had yet thrown its weight
definitely on the side of either Ger-
many or the Allies. Turkey, out-
flanked and all but outmanoeuvred,
was in a pretty hopeless position
as far as helping Britain was con-
cerned and could he counted on to
do only what Russia advised. The
Iatter, though obviously not liking
the latest German thrusts down in-
to the east. evidently did not feel
that the time was ripe for taking
action. France was sliding inevit-
ably, albeit reluctantly, into the
Axis arms and into war with the
democracies.
War With France?
Warnings from the head men of
the 'United States of America ap-
pareutly could do nothing to turn
France back. Petain and Darlan
did not change their minds when
President Roosevelt threatened x
reversal of the former U. S. posi-
tion with regard to France - iu
other wards, undercover war be-
tween old friends.
Informal War
Awaiting President Roosevelt's
momentous s pe a ch on. 'Jutted
States' foreign policy, millions
throughout the world, unapprecia-
tive of the actuality of the bellig-
erency in which the American na-
tion was now engaged, could not
understand why there had not
long ago been a formal declaration
of war on the Axis. To those
people, 1J. S. Attorney General
Jackson spoke, when he said: "Our
statutes for a century have been
framed With. the idea that war
mould begin with a gentlemanly
and honourable declaration of war.
Tlaat chivalrous practice has dis-
appeared. Wars today are fought
and won before they are declared.
New Premier of Soviet Russia and Assistants
Here is the first picture of Josef Stalin, centre, to arrive in
America since Stalin appointed himself premier of. Russia, tatting that
title from Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, left. Marching with them to
Moscow's Red Square for May day parade is Defense Commissar K. E.
Vorosbilov.
Any nation that, In the presence of
rising hostility and strain with
another, awaits a declaration of
weir to assert itself is as naive as
a citizen who expects a burglar to
make a formal call to announce his
housebreaking intentions."
Before The Shooting
Congrese would obviously not be
naked for a formal declaration of
war until events set the stage, But
everybody knew last week that
there might be at any moment an
"incident" -a II. S. naval patrol
vessel attacked, American planes
shot down over the North Atlantic
-and the United States would be
in the war.
ivieentime, bold steps were taken
by the Admiuistration to deal
with: the question of home de -
defense; the status of French. pos-
sessions in and near the western
hemisphere; the problem of safe
delivery of war materials to the
democracies.
* * *
Peace With China?
The question of peace with China
had by last week '.become a para-
mount issue in Japan. The Tokyo
government had been actively con-
sidering the position of recent
. montlis. and the press had become
increasingly insistent that the
"China. incident" be settled quick-
ly.
Back of these moves several fac-
tors operated. One, the country is
in dire straits economically; an-
other, Tokyo desires to he free to
deal with any situation growing
'oat ot the fast moving European
war - Japan is greatly worried
for fear America will enter the
conflict; then the Japanese want
to be in a position to grab rich
pickings in the Dutch East Indies
should the opportunity be afford-
ed.
(Pravda, the Moscow newspaper,
lest week circulated a dispatch un-
der a New York dateline quoting
"reliable Japanese ciroles" there
that Japan had asked the U. S.
to mediate in the Far Eastern sit-
uation. The dispatch said Japan
had offered to withdraw troops
from the Chinese interior if the
U. S. recognized Japan's dominant
position hi China. Japan would re-
frain from hostilities in the South
Seas, it said, in return for econom-
ic concessions and possibly an Am-
erican loan).
Decisive Battle
Meanwhile a large-scale battle
raged in the Shansi -Ronan border
region of China which to many ob-
servers appeared of decisive con.
sequence in the whole Battle of
China, It was thought that the war
might take a bad turn for the Chin-
ese and snake the provisional cap-
ital at Chungking untenable if the
Japanese should defeat the large
Chinese farces facing them. But
latest reports last week indicated
that the defenders were more than
holding their own.
Half -Price Hair Cuts
For Bald Men Urged
Florida's House of Representa-
tives was debating a price-fixing
bill when Representative Chic
Acosta offered an amendment to
allow half-price on haircuts for
bald-headed nien, Complained he:
• "These barbers charge us bald-
headed men full price for cutting
just a few hairs." Acosta later
withdrevi the amendment.

kill me if I don't."

THE HUMAN FACTOR
The elimination of curves and
hills by highway engineers in
planning,new roads has a"nade new
highways as safe as engineering
skill can make them, yet accidents
continue. Rarely is it the fault
of a car that accidents happen,
proving beyond doubt that the
human factor contributes most to

EVER HAVE A FENCE?
There is something alluring
about a house enclosed by a fence
and something comfortable about
living in that house. . There is a
sense of dominion which only a
fence can give and also an atti-
tude of dignity and restraint which.
apparently the world has lost.
For fences have gone out of
style, and now the neighbor's
chickens board regularly on your
father's garden patch and the
neighbor's cat and your cat pool
the few mice they eatch in your
garage. -Guelph Mercury.
