Peace and War
As we look out over the world
through the windows of the place
where this is being written, the scene
presented is one of quietness and
peace.
Cars and wheeled vehicles are
passing up and down, their occu-
pants on business or pleasure bent.
- People are passing unconcernedly
along the walks. Children are play-
ing on their way home from school,
and the rural mail courier jogs along
in his buggy. 1
There is • not one discordant note;
not one sign of fear expressed in the
faces of the people, or in their ac-
tions.Not even a single gun is sen,
nor a single uniform or soldier. Not
even ,a traffic officer is in sight.
Even the land that stretches to
the leafless woods beyond, though
brown and fallow, is not cold or for-
• bidding. The harvest from the fields
his been removed and stored .away.
None of it has been ruined or stolen
• or confiscated. And patches of green
which hedge and dot the land, indi-
cate where other harvests will occur
next year.
• The sky is dull and leaden as No-
vember skies are wont to be. The
clouds are low and scud before •the
wind, but there is no menace in the
clouds and the wind brings no tid-
ings of evil. It is neither a pleasant
nor a heartening day, but the people
take it in their stride. They have no
cause to fear. They know that
brighter days will come.
. And then we pick up the daily
newspapers and look out upon the
world through their windows. And
What a change!
Wars and rumors of wars. Battle
and sudden death; ravage a n d
rapien; cruelty beyond description;
intimidation and fear; hunger and
starvation; lands and towns and cit-
ies laid waste:
Mussolini claims the Mediterrenan.
Sea as his own; Britain may use it
as a gateway to some of her Empire
possessions — if she is good- and
hearkens to the Duce's commands.
If not, war.
Spain is blood soaked from civil
war. Age • old and historic struc-
tures and cities have been savagely
• wiped out. Human life means noth-
ing. Low flying planes are sweep-
ing over Madrid, the Government's
• last stronghold, and spraying the
non-combatant citizens, men, women
and children alike, with machine
guns. Corpses are sprawled and
p11 -
ed on the streets. •
• Russia would like to get into the
• fight and probably will. Germany
• is an armed camp. Japan is trying
to swallow China in large and 'ever
larger bites. The smaller European
States are looking askance at their
neighbors • a n d steadily arming.
France sits in fear, wondering not
what will happen, 'but when.
• Even in our own Canada and fair
Ontario, there seems to be a discord-
' ant note. Through the windows of
the nevvspapers we see that Ogre
• Were , eighteen violent deaths and
• metes injured over the week -end

it is en ngh to make us stick to ;the

now in which to find -uninterrupted
peace and prosperity for any indi-
vidual, or group of individuals,

Another Liberal Daily Gone
West ,
The London Advertiser ceased
publication last week, and The
vertiser is the second Liberal daily
newspaper to pass out of existence
in the course of a few months.
For nearly seventy-five years The
Advertiser las been an eagerly .an-
ticipated visitor in thousands of
homes in Western Ontario. For near-
ly three-quarters of a century it has
been looked up to in these homes as
a bearer of widespread foreign,
Canadian and local news. Clean
news.
And all through the years it has
never faltered in its loyalty to the
doctrines of the Liberal party. In
fact, the espousal of the Liberal pol-
icies through its editorial columns
has played a leading part in laying
the foundation. and building up the
strong force of Liberal opinion that
exists in this and other • Western
Ontario conntieS.
But time brings changes to the
• newspaper field as well as to others.
Running a daily_ newspaper has be-
come a tremendously costly under-,
• taking. So much so that the sub-
scription cost of the paper is a mere
drop in the bucket of its required
revenue.
• Even the strongest 'financial Cana-
dian dailies have been more or -less
shaken during the past five or six
,years. And The Advertiser, we be-
lieve, has never been financially
strong. Its political loyalty has nev-
• er brought any financial advantage;
and over recent years has undoubt-
edly worked to its disadvantage
from_a financial standpoint.
"-• Most Canadian newspapers learn-
ed long ago that blind political loy-
alty, from the. Liberal standpoint,
does not spell success in the news-
paper field and they have turned to
independent politics in order to live.
• The London Advertiser was' a Lib-
eral newspaper, however. There
• was never any doubt about it, but it
was the last of its kind. It was al-
ways a clean, interesting, well con-
ducted rieWspaper and a bonny politi-
• cal fighter—but it has gone west.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
They'll Have Indigestion
(Detroit Free Press)
The Thanksgiving turkey crop this year is the
• largest on record.
According to the Bureau of Agricultural Econ-
omics in Washington, about 20,000,000 birds are
now being groomed for the market.
• The Great .American Bird escaped Secretary
Wallace's axe, when he was cutting down the
little pigs and their motihers, and the turkey
growers stepped up production of turkeys to
• Meet a larger demand resulting from "a some-
wbat smaller supply of other meats."
While that is fine for the turkey' men, we
have an idea that this year's Thanksgiving din-
ner will lie heavily on the Stomachs of those
fanners whom the A.A.A. tricked into, signing
corn -hog contracts to curtail the production of
pork on the hoof.
What have they to aeH at the higher prices
brought about by the drought coming on top of
the New Deal's economy of scarcity?

The Electric Plow

WORLD MISSIONS

sion for 1935 has juetheen published.

_ing presented for a , witness in the
troubled land of China, and here and

Christes Saviour, and openly confess-
ing their allegiance to. Him, the lat-
estreport showing that 7,581 were
baptized in C. I. Missiohs during
1935. The 'probability is, that several
thousand more have been born again
or shall be born again through the
faithful preaching of the missionaries
last year. It is not the first duty of
the missionary to count the harvest,
but to sow the seed. God will, in Hie
own time and place, reveal the in-
crease. There is, however, cause for
thanksgiving that the harvest reveal-
ed is so abundant. Wan one excep-
tion, 1935 was the most frtiltful year
in the history of the C.I.M. This, in
the fate of interreptions, is a glowing
tribute to the value of' Christian mis-
Slons.
Without solicitation of funds the
China Inland Mission report shows
that the total income for the year was
the largest since 1929. An increase
in the number of prayer helpers and
