War Again
We had a war that was to do away
with all wars. But that war ended
nearly twenty-one years ago. Twen-
- r -one years of national fears and
distrust, of : greed and arrogance and
lying on the part of some Rations,
and too much tolerance and over
yielding on ,the part of others, and
now we are n.t war again..
.And from the same .cause. The
ruler of the German Empire, not
the German people, wills it so. The
hopes and the struggles for peace on
the part Of Great Britain and
France have come to naught as they
did in 1914.
It was, however, a case of hope
against hope. In recent months and
recent years, Hitler has led 'the Ger-
man. nation into a blind road, from
which there was no outlet. That was
apparent to all people of all other
nations a week ago, when he inform-
ed -the French Government that the
free city of Danzig and. the Polish
Corridor were to be his. Only on
that understanding and after it,
would he enter into negotiations
with Poland.
But Great Britain and France
have not forgotten Munich and the
violation of every promise then
made by Hitler. They came to the
realization in those short months,
even if they had suspected it before,
that Hitler's pledged word meant
absolutely nothing. That he was
bent on the conquest of Europe, as
the first step in the conquest of
America, and. the domination of the
known world.
Consequently, France as well as
Britain, has come to the unshake-
able belief that it is now, or never.
Eventually, if the independence of
the democratic nations is to be pre-
served, the mad career of Hitler
must be checked, and there is no
time like the present.
It will be no easy task, and the
people of our world might as well
realize that now as well as later.
Hitler is powerful but he is not all
powerful. He possesses the arrog-
ance of the all powerful, it is true,
an arrogance in which he has
boasted that he can conquer without
the aid of other nations, even his
own allies. That he not only has the
will, • but the men and resources to
conduo a ten-year- war.
Perhaps he has. But at the end
of that ten years, if not before, Mr.
Hitler will find that the British Em-
pire and the French are still in the
fight, and still have the men and the
resources to continue that fight for
another ten years, or as long as it
takes to thoroughly whip a mad and
deluded bully..
•
Steady Does It
These are perilous times for the
people of Canada. Naturally we
will be anxious for war news and
events in Europe, but let us not be
too hasty. Let us not be led to ac-
cept rumor for truth.. Let us not
get panicky.
All news is not authentic that one
sees in some . papers, and still less
authentic that comes -over the radio.
We had --an instance of that 'a week
or two ago when the Prime Minister
of Great Britain denounced in the
British Mouse of Commons, in no un-
certain terms, the commentary of a
radio speaker, as utterly false and
unfounded.
Naturally when the radio is avail-
able at any time, and newspapers

it by the national and international.
press. That if the press does not
publish what the radio broadcasts,
it is because that news is either not
authentic or is of too improbable a
nature to be true.
We all like to be the bearer of
sensational news, at times, and
radio announcers area nor exception
to the general run of humanity. But
a voice over the air is just heard
and then it is gone. It is hard to
trace or to check.
It is otherwise with the printed
word. The evidence there is all out
in black and white. For that rea-
son let us take with a grain of salt
the most sensational things, we are
likely to hear, from now on, over the
radio. At least until they are veri-
fied by official despatches in the
papers, or otherwise.
Canada needs all its nerve at this
time, and getting jittery over rum-
ors will not help to preserve it. It
is steady that does it.

The Prime Minister Was Right
- During the past few months
Prime Minister Mackenzie King has
undergone some very bitter abuse
from some Canadian people and
some Canadian papers, notably the
Globe and Mail, because he has con-
sistently refused to wave the flag
and personally commit the Canadian
nation to war with Germany, even
if it was to be on the side of Britain.
And the Prime Minister was right.
Even Prime Minister Chamberlain
did not take upon himself the step
of committing Great Britain to war.
It was the Parliament of Great Bri-
tain, - called in special session, that
took 'that momentous step.
And it is the Parliament of Can-
ada which has been summoned in
special session for Thursday of this
week that will take a similar step
that will be as momentous for the
people of Canada as it was for the
people of Great Britain.
When Great Britain is at war,
Canad is at war. Every loyal Cana-
dian knows and instinctively believes
that to be a fact. Why then at ev-
ery minor of war, well founded as
recent rumors have been proven,
should Canada proclaim this fact
'and their super loyalty from the
house tops? That smacks too much
of Hitler himself and his methods.
And there is another place where-
in the Prime Minister was right and
some people and some papers in Can-
ada wrong. Mr. King 'has been
almost as bitterly assailed for not
asking for the dissolution of Parlia-
ment and bringing on an election
while the present crisis was existing,
as he was for not waving the flag.
It would have been very much to
the personal advantage of Mr. King
to have done both of these things.
But, apparently, contrary to the
Ioudly expressed opinion of some
people and some papers in Canada,
neither personal nor party advant-
age comes first with the Prime Min-
ister.
If reliable inside information on
European affairs was available to
any man in Canada, that informa-
tion must have been available to Mr.
King, and- undoubtedly was. And
having that information, he would
not run the risk, and it would be a
great risk, of placing Canada in the
position where she would be without
a Parliament when the country's
worst fears have been realized.
The responsibility for the conduct
of the nation's `..policy rests in the
hands of Parliament alone and the
people should appreciate the fact
that Canada has a Parliament to-
day, for no other reason than be-
cause Mr. King, in the face of bitter
condemnation, had the force and
foresight to postpone' the election.

Smoking -And Forest Fires
(Detroit Free Press)
When careless smokers throw lighted matches
or cigar or Ci'garett'e bets from car windows and
start forest fires that destroy property, drive
game away by destroying its refuge, and mar the
scenery', they are eomimfitting a grave offense.
A considerable proportion 0 the forest fires
that destroy millions of 'dollars worth of prop-
erty int this country every year are caused- by
just this Seri of carelessness.

"CHICKENS"
Ithere is any one thing more than
another that can get my nanny it's
those confounded thickens on Satur-
day night. Of course durieg these
summer months it's quite a ritual to
go to town :on Saturday evening and
rub shoulders with practically every-
body in this edstrict. Wth'ile the wives
are either ,exchanging tid-bit3 of gos-
sip ar else giving in their grocery or-
ders at the store we farmers` manage
to get around, buy ourselves a nickel
cigar and recall the doing of the
week', At present the weather subject
is running a poor second to the war
situation. If those foreign diplomates
could only arrange 'to be on hand oil'
a Saturday evening they . would cer-
tainly get more ideas as to how to
settle the situation than they know
what to do with.
Along about eleven we' start for
(home, the .back seat bundled up with
,parcels and several of the neighbors
who walked into town to drop off by
the way. By the time we reach the
turn at the Ninth Concession corner
my eyes begin -to get heavy and I
have to keep strict ,attention on the
beam o. fight from the headlights,
else I would, go to sleep. Having ar-
rivedat the front gate Mrs'. Phil re-
calls -w at- a subdued gasp, "Oth, the
chiekene; weren't shut up this even -
ng." I protest that nothing will
hurt them, but the memory of how
Mrs. Sc•ar.d-So lost seven or eleten
or some such amount to- a weasel and
I give up as a bad task.
Then t`. -,s lantern must be lit for
growling i:r: the dewy grass of the or-
chard, Biddy complains from her
coop that her adelescen.t charges
have wandered away and let her with
only one !mit to mother. She drows-
ily chirps out imprecation's on the
heads of ':er stubborn- children, who
feeling that they are old enough to
take care of themselves, have wan-
dered away for the evening.
There is -generally certain to be
two or three on top of the coop. In a
neighboring cherry tree two or three
more have taken up their.positions
an a lower branch. But those elu-
sive five or six that remain! Hold-
ing the lantern aloft in the attitude
of the Stfitue of Liberty and strain -
Mg your eyes beyond the feeble cir-
cle of Light which It casts, you try.
and see the vagrants, -
A drossy clucking from an apple
tree and we try and round up all
those remaining. At least two
squawkingly protest and flutter down
to the ground and scamper a few
feet away into the tall grass.. In lift-
ing up the coop to put back the ones
captured, another will escape and it's
a matter of having to run him down
until he's tired,.
Then comes the task of finding the
two which escaped. By this time a
person doesn't exactly know where
they.; slipped... into the grass, and in
keelet'ng it aside and .pawing around
you come on a nest of burrs. With a
generous plastering,' of the sticky
burrs you find the two chickens
snuggling• up to eaoh other in drowsy
comfort -Then to gather them up
and escort thein upside down back
to the coop. Biddy clucks contented-
ly and beds them down for the night,
in 'a. fussy -like and important way as
if they were still tiny chicks instead'
of being almost as big as sihe is her-
self. ' -
You're tired and sleepy . . . and
your good suit trousers have been
damrpened by the dew until they're
almost wet and they're covered by
burrs and prickly weed seeds' and
you're on the verge of bad temper.
Mrs. Phil meets you and then asks,
"Did you get them all?" For a mo-
ment you're almost tempted to say
something but you reply, "Yes," whe-
ther you've counted them or not, and
you go to bed and, in those few mom-
ents before sleep comes 'you begin to
wonder if you really did get them alt
or not.
JUST- A SMILE OR TWO
"Cook," said the mistress of the
house, "I really must complain about
that friend who comes to see you.
Last night I couldn't get to sleep be-
cause of her laughter."
"I'm so sorry, Ma'am," replied the
cook, "I was telling her about that
time you tried to make a cake."
•
"As for myself," she declared,
"when I shop I always ask for what
I want and, if they have it and it
pleases me, and I feel an ineIinati'rn
to buy it, and it is cheap enough,
and I have the money, and one can-
not buy it anywhere else, I nearly al-
ways buy it without the haggling and
arguing during the whole day which
other persons do."—Kentis•h Mercury.

North Huron M.P. Has
Prize Winning Platf orm
R. J. Deachman, North Huron M.P.,
won fiint prize in a recent c•onitest ar-
ranged by Saturday Night for the
beet Liberal platform.
Mr. Deachman's platform, together
with Saturday night's comments, and
also the winning Conservative plat-
form, appear herewith,
Saturday Night comments as fol-
lows:
"No single entrant in our Platform
Competition has, in our opinion, oom-
pletely Saved the Country in a single
Platform. We have therefore decided
to divide the Fifty Dollars among
three entrants, one of whom has in
our opinion done the best job of sav-
ing in the Liberal manner, one in the
Conservative manner, and one in a
slightly unorthodox Co-operative Com-
nionwealth Federation manner.
"The Liberal winner is R. J. Deach-
mran, M.P. for Huron Nortel, Ont.
"The Conservative winner is Her-
bert Maxwell. Bruce, Annandale, York
Mills, Ont., the son of the immediate
past Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.
"The C.C.F. winner is J. C. Harris,
of New Denver, B. C.
"We know that in a way it is un-
just, but we are giving twenty dol-
lars to Mr. Deaohmlan and Mr. Bruce
and only ten dollar's to Mr. Harris.
This is because we feel that the C.C.
F, is less likely to be able to save
Canada ,in Mr. Harris's way than the
other two parties in Mr. Deachman's
ar Mr. Bruce's Way."
Mr. Deachman's Platform
1. AGRICULTURE.—The first task
of Li'berali'sm is the establishment of
equality of economic opportunity for
the farmer and other basic producers.
2. BONUSES.—Liberalism believes
that tevety industry should stand up-
on its own feet. It feeds that bonuses
end subsidies, no matter in what
guise they appear, are economically
unsound and should be abolished. The
desired objective may be difficult of
attainment In present world condi-
tione and in a ehangi:ng economy, but
a persistent and determined effort
should, be d.ireoted towards reaching
this desirable enol. '
3. THE CAVIL SERVICE.—Lfber-
altism approves of the merit system
of appointment and believes that the
Jurisdiction of the Civil Service Com:
mistslon should be extended over all
employees except where remuneration
is less than $3110 per annum.
Civil servants should be promoted
on ability and expetience. Transfers
from one section' of the country to
another •should be freely made, and
'h'ere, as in the United Kimgdorn, Civil
servants .should' be anoved from one
department to ,anetlher wherever ,it ap-
pears that improvement in the ser -
vide or fuller opportunity for `develop-
ment of the esnployte will be achiev-
ed by such action,
4. DEFT AND EXPENDITURE: --
Parsimony in expenditure may bei ex-
travagance, but expenditures which
fail to return value for the money
spent are a waste of national capital.
Debt is not in itself an evil. The ques-
tion which arises in the contempla-
tion of any expenditure, public or
private, is a •simple one: Are we
likely to get full value for the money
we are about to spend? The duty of
Liberalism is to insist on this basis
of action in the discussion of public
expenditures.
5. FOREIGN RELATIONS. — The
problem of foreign relations must be
,settled in the field of economic co-
operation,. Sound foreign p o l i c y
should begin in the domestic field.
The growing tendency towards trade
barriers and ,other restrictions be-
tween provinces, cities: and towns
within the nation reflects a narrow-
ness of 'seine which makes' co-opera-
tion and understanding extremely dif-
ficult both at home and abroad;
Libenalltstm believes that extreme
protection and intensive nationalism
are incompatible with modern civil-
izations and a high standard of living
and is convinced that the breakdown
of existing barriers is, the only alter-
native to world chaos. If elms seems
impossible in the world of today, it
must not be forgotten. that the things
of today are rimlpossibie in the world
of tomorrow—if civilization is to sur-
vive.
6. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
—Liberalism, accepts and believes in
private ownership and the greatest
possible freedom for individual in-
itiative. It accepts government own-
ership only where there is an inter-
est which transcends the economic
,and, creates a field of activity in
which circumstances, restrict and lim-
it the possibility of private action.
7. IMMIGRATION. — Liberalism
cannot accept the doctrine that the
natural reslources, of Canada are for
lcunselivest alone. An increase of pop-
ulation, the growth of capital invest-
ment, would strengthen th'e national
,economy. Therefore, immigrants,
sound in health and of capacity and
ability, should! be encouraged. Every
effort slhloul+d be made to induce for-
eign capital to inn%hsrt in Canada.
8. LABOR,—Liberalism does` not
holed that increases in hourly wages
of labor constitute the sole measure
of the s,Nanldiarnd of living, nor does it
alssumte that wages can be fixed by
goverrimemtt flat, or helped by state
interference in support of the strang-
er groarps. The problem Is, to increase
'Heal purchasing power and distribute
it equitably to those who works by
hand or brain anti to the basic pro-
ducers of the natiod. This can best
be done through freedom of eotmpeti-
tion and by fundamental measures for
lowering the cost of living' and in-
creaatng the •purchasd,ng power of the

SLATE
Many people will remember that ins
the early etears of the depression,
some school boards, for economy's
sake, reverted to the old slate pen-
cils for use in schools. We import
several thousand dollars? worth of
these slates and slate pencils. stall for
that purpose. The best slate comee
from the Penrhym quarry in North
Wales. It is ,the Largest in the world,
and the following description of it
will be intenesting to those who use
or have used the old school slates.
The quarry extends to the verye„,
shouldrer of Bronllwyd mountain, a
total height from top to- bottom of
almost 1,200 feet. In all there are`
19 terraces or galleries, each 60 feet
high; the extreme length of the quar-
ry is three-quarters of a mile, and at.
the broadest part it,J'is more than:.
half a mile wide. Every gallery has;
at• name, derived either from a mem-
ber of Lord'Pennhyn's family or from
some outstanding event of public in-
terest at the time the 'gallery was op-
ened; for example, .Agor Boni or
Bonaparte Floor, Sebastopol, Princes
Mary, etc.
The history of Penrhyn` Quarry
dates back almost 400 years. The first
'ord'er .fon Penrhyn slate on record!
was in 1570, when Sion Tudur ad-
dressed the Dean of Bangor asking
for a shipload of slate.
At the' present time more than 2,-
500 people are employed in the quar-
ry and well. over 1,000,000 tons of
rock a year ane extracted. The rock
is loosened by blasting, with black
powder .which has the effect of loos-
ening the slate without shattering it.
Each blast may bring down anything.
up to 500 tons of rock according to,
the d'ay's' requirements, The slate that.
is loosened is then removed' by min-
ual labour with crowbars, chisels and
hammers. As soon as the commer-
cially valuable slate has been separ-
ated from the rubble, it is transport-
ed along a narrow gauge railway in:
trucks, each of two tons capacity, toe
one of the main vertical shafts, when
it is conveyed to the dressing sheds..
It is of interest to note that as mucic
as 90 per cent, of all the ° material.
quarried is waste, which, to a large
extent, accounts for the comparative-
ly high cost of slate.
In addition to its use as a roofing
material, Pennhyn slate is also em-_
ployed by many of the principal man-
ufacturers of electrical switchboards
on account of the great mechanical
.strength and non -conducting proper-
ties. The switchboard equipment of
both the R.iyI.S.' "Queen Mary" and
"Queen Elizabeth" .tpcludes Penrhyn.
