JU > # “LET US GO TO THE STORM AND GO THROUGH IT” Last Sunday will long be remembered as blue Sunday* Singa­ pore had fallen. Even the great-hearted Churchill had difficulty in finding the silver lining of the dark cloud Impending over the Empire he loves so well, Like the representative Briton he is, he faced up to the darkness of the hour. 'He pointed to the storm and cried to his friends, “Let us go up to the storm and go through it!” That's the spirit; “Faint heart ne'er won fail’ lady,” Mr, his chum, Little Faith, never lead the host of free* That's the spirit Much Afraid and dom to victory.******** “AND THE BRITISH NAVY” public occasion on which the chairman called up to say grace, This duty was discharged ip .these We recall a a person present . _ , . ....... terms; “For what we are about to receive, thank God and the British navy,” The utterance caused a smile. Some of the diners hazarded the opinion that the emphasis in the grace had peen laid on the words “and the British navy.” Would the emphasis be placed on these words at the present time? The question is worth asking. We are the first to own our debt to, the navy. But isn’t it time to do a little serious thinking and to determine in a practical way to whom we look in all times of difficulty and danger? . ♦ * * * •* * ♦ ■*. THOSE MEN’S CLOTHES Some time ago we referred to a suit in which Mr. Churchill was photographed. „ We spoke of the sartorial outfit as being a model of .neatness and of all such essentials, Well, the powers that be among the tailors seem to have agreed with ;us. The new coats are to have no lapels. We regret this feature, for where are mere men to carry pins if thus deprived? Then what is ohe to do when {the wind suddenly changes to the east and one has no overcoat? Fur­ ther, how is one to display his watch chain, if the new outfit is to provide no .openness of coat? ‘ How is one to display those fine shirts if one is to be buttoned up so closely? How is one to carry his ■hanky? The whole situation is perplexing. Then word comes that •the ladies’ skirts are to be made shorter. There is to be a standard­ ization of the ladies’ costumes, we understand. But we mast not in­ vade the realm of fashion. We’re not afraid of Hitler, but Dame Fashion is a boss of another color. We see the end of Hitler. The ladies simply will not have his interference and that ends the whole thing.** * * * .* HARD TO WAKE UP (For some time German battleships had been, bottled up in the region of Brest. Every once in a while we heard that the R.A.F. had bombed them. Well, it seems'that the Germans did not* like ■ this treatment and when their British watchers slept, or something like that, they made’ a break fox- home. And to their friendly harbor they came, the British wondering fiow on earth they could do so. Then over there in the Pacific the Japanese saw the Prince of Walqs and the Repulse nosing about in waters where the Japanese wished to have control. The result? The Repulse and the Prince of Wales are at the bottom of the sea, John Bull wondering, mean­ while, how the trick was done. Is it asking too much to require out British people to waken up? Supposing we ask them to stop talk­ ing and acting in terms of sport, and to practise war and to give ovex’ this thing of taking chances and to- get down to good solid business. Would it not be better to stop making strong speeches and to put forward strong action? There are certain mistakes that are very like crimes, and certain forms of carelessness that should lead the practisers thereof to the hangman’s noose, * * * * * * *> ** e PICKING THE PARASITES President Roosevelt is agunning for Washington parasites. He has been looking over, some of the fine twenty-room Washington residences. He likes these fine buildings but lip does not approve pf the'-use to which they are -devoted. This is the way .things in this, line look to the president. A great many ladies have come to Washington fqy “the season”, and for the duratioin in order that they may have their wits prodded by the stern events now-going-oh. These people have a real pleasure in hearing of battles and sinking Ships and burning towns and Slaughtered men. “It is all so wonder­ fully thrilling, don’t you know?” So exquisite are their sensibilities . that only the spilling of human blood and the burning of homes has any interest for them. They like to pour tea or any stronger potion while cities burn. They call that day lost when they do* not show forth- the charms of some new creation in hats or some such impor­ tant article of manufacture. Roosevelt has intruded these haunts of luxury and ease by saying that his government is going to requisi­ tion such houses for the benefit .-of war workers. There is >a strong belief that he regards the present occupants of these houses as para­ sites. But there is the fact. There is a sound of going among the oird cotes. We are afraid that some of the “parasites” will speak of the president as “hol’rid” and that will, be an end to .all his great­ ness. He will come out ahead our doubts about the result of We’ll see. ’ with Hitler and Japan, but we have his adventures with the “parasites”. * * * * * Exeter,. Monday evening.

Buy the new Victory Bonds! LET US GET INTO THE COLLAR All signs point to a long war. So let us take the situation in grim earnest. To preserve our freedom we simply must give up all our luxuries, the most of our comforts and the greater part of our privileges. And that is putting the situation mildly. We have talk­ ed about the war. The time has come for us to get at it and win it by getting into it in dead earnest. When our sons are needed for- the munition factories or the war front, we must spare them. When , our daughters are needed for nursing or making this and that for 1 the nation’s defence, we must spare them. When any of us are asked to take this or that job in the interest of country, we had better get at it and smile as we do so. We must visage the whole job and then get at. our part of it. .................... new pep and energy.

He is aware that a downhearted people are not likely to be good fighters and withont hard fighting the enemy is almost Sure to win. Hence the editor’s temptation to tell his readers the sunny side-. He fears that his doing so is likely to induce the read­ ers to become complacent and a complacent people who think only in terms of peace and safety are o£ little use in a life and death Struggle with a mighty, strong, prepared enenxy who knows the ABC and the X Y Z-of war. On the othex' hand, if he gives the details of battles and struggles by land, sea and air, he is likely to imperil his battling country. Yet the people have the right to know' how things are going. They h'ave no love for the fool’s paradise. If the battle is going against them, they should know it. They are not infants. Before now when the battle has been going against a nation * the victors have come from the plain- people. The mighty leadens of the Aniericaix war came up from the plow and the’ yard stick. The same was true of the South African war. All the things worth knowing are not under the brass hats of parliament, of the admiral­ ty, Or th6 Wai’ councils. We are not in favour of giving out infor­ mation that may afford aid or comfort to the enemy. We are in favour of trusting the people and of offering criticism of events, and of suggesting- what, in our opinion, is the duty of the hour. The people can be trusted. t Anglo-Saxons rise to an Occasion, however difficult. They become restive and rebellious when treated other­ wise. . «’ ♦ * * w- * '♦ ♦ GETTING ON WITH THE JOB We’ll never forget that barn-raising. The structure was a large one and the men assembled for the raising were willing and capable. The work, however, was dot getting on. There was much shouting and a great deal of hard lifting was in evidence. Still that building was not taking shape. Some Were for doing one thing and some were for another, Several old and efficient framers were busy giv­ ing directions. One of these old timers was particularly vociferous. At.last the contracting framer lost all patience, mounted a bit of the framework and called till everyone listened to liim. “Men, I know what I’m doing. If you'll agree to do as I say, we'll have this build­ ing in shape in an hour. I want every man who'll not do as I say to go home.” The men cheered him and in the time he indicated the fine barn was in shape for the carpenters. These men did not lose their liberty, Each returned to his farm to carry on as he saw best until the next raising engaged his energies. So things must be in this war. The victory must be got on with. Canadians are asking their government to get bn with! the victory. They want that government to say what it has in mind. They want its ehll to be clear, unmistakable. Is the government for an all-out effort? Is part of Canada to be encouraged to believe only a part of the population have credit in the victory for which the whole country is expected to strive? Every Canadian sees the work that must be done If Canada is to remain free, is a part of this country to be compelled to stand aside and not permitted to give counsel as to how the nation is to put her strength into the ibattle? Every Canadian, regardless of blood relation or past history or party affiliation, must get into this struggle under capable national leadership, Secure Your Coupons for Tiines- Advocate Draw!
