The Plight to Denmark
Civilization mourns with Denmark, All that
fine little nation wished was the blessed privi
lege of developing her own soil and its indus
tries. In this she was succeeding to a degree
that astonished the world. No finer farm pro
ducts than those that issued from Denmark
were to be found anywhere on any market. Her
cheese and her live stock products simply were
unsurpassed. For all this,

and her poetry
with the spiritual aspirations of every
her citizens, She wished to trade on equal and
fair terms with anyone who had products to
offer that met her needs. She desired and
maintained her self respet in her every word
and act. She envied no one. She cast no covetous
eye on any man’s possessions. She was free
from want herself and earnestly wished that all
mankind might share her happy lot. Yet she
has been over-run by the most hideous foe that
ever oppressed a child of Adam. With a savag
ery surpassing that of the Iroquois who exter
minated the Hurons on the very soil we now
walk over these German self-perverts are seek
ing the annihilation of every Dane.. That their
bayonets are not in every Danish bosom is
because Britain and the United States have
sworn before high heaven that as the German
butchers treat the Danes, so will they be treat
ed. With what measure they meet it shall be
measured to them again, good measure pressed
down and running over. If Denmark has a
national sin it was the sin of shutting her eye
to the German menace that every hour crept
nearer, serpent like waiting the moment to
coil about the victim and then poison as op
portunity offered. May Canada not be indif
ferent to the error that Denmark committed.

pointed, out, no one has told us when we are
to be confronted by those desirable conditions.
What is disturbing in the post war talk is the
way emphasis is laid upon giving every man
a job at excellent wages. This raises two ques
tions. First, what is to be done with the goods
thus made ? We have seen the problem arising
from the over production of wheat in the wes
tern provinces. The wheat simply cannot be
disposed of. As it satisfies no want, real or
imaginary, it is left where it is to return to the
earth as it was. The same holds true of goods
■that nobody wants. They remain in store houses
to decay from rust or dry rot or mildew or
some such destructive agency. Further, where
is the money to come from to pay these excel
lent wages? There is no perennial, inexhaus-
ible supply of cash “up” or “down” to which
governments or other well meaning powers may
resort. Further, money is but a part of the
mechanism of exchange, and for that reason
is neither fond, clothing nor shelter. The real
post war problem will be to encourage and to
arouse the creative faculties in all citizens. A
new set of wants must be catered to. The
resources of the human spirit have scarcely
been tapped. New goods that meet the new con
ditions will need to be forthcoming. Till those
problems are, upon us we must on with the war.
And while we are getting on with the war our
best licks are required for educating the youth
in such a way as to have them ready as they
come to maturity to meet creatively and happily
these new occasions.

Not Quite Fair
Homemakers are not quite satisfied with
^the way they are being used in the home cun
ning' enterprise, These people who toil as hard
as any other folk in the commonwealth resent
being left the culls for their canning. Over
and over again they have been obliged to take
or to leave grassy green peaches and such
other fruit. They know that a wax' is on, but
they do not bee the relation between the war
and unripe fruit. The good ladies who are com
plaining know their business from A to Z, both
forwards and backwards. Why, then, this wret
chedly green fruit? There’s a serious slip up
somewhere and that slip us is not with the local
dealers not by any manner of means. The
complainants are well aware that there is a war
on. To furthering the war these ladies have
contributed of their best and have contributed
willingly. They are willing to put up with a
great deal. They are willing’ to sacrifice, At the
same time they are not willing to be put upon

No Fun Shopping
Shopping these times i.s no longer a recrea
tion. One can not enter a place of business,
look over a wide range of goods on display and
enter upon a leisurely discussion of the various
articles competing for one’s purchase and then
deker regarding price with dark hints that un
less the price is accomodated to one’s desires
that he’ll shop elsewhere. No, the whole buying
proposition i.s a sordid matter of trading. “What
have you?” we ask plaintively. Then comes the
dolodous response with dreary headshaking
“Nope.” After long begging and close cross
examination on our part, the tradesman goes
to some dark corner of his store and issues
a scarcely revealed article and the remark “This
i.s all we. have and we have little of it.” And we
must, take or leave it and on our joyless way.
These be great times, my masters.

his resolution he learned the trade of a steel
welder. After various adventures this
twenty found himself a little west of
mountains
with the builders of blast furnaces,
perienees there
rose of a winter morning at six to dress in
unheated room with the thermometer at thirty
five below. Breakfastless he trudged two miles
to work, over ground frozen iron hard, to meet
his comrades in an unheated shed-like structure,
to hear that a steel welder had frozen to death
the night before as he carried on his steel work.
The faces of his comrades were scarred by
deep frost bites. The scaffold on which he wor
ked was covered with ice. Occasionally a com
rade fell to terrible injury. The hospital where
the injured men were treated was unheated.
The food, was rough, if wholesome. Yet these
men toiled willingly. When reminded of their
hardships, they replied “But see what we are
getting done?” And all the world wonders at
their accomplishments. A city stands 'where
rose those blast furnaces built by this young
man and his comrades. The. works they built
furnish the Russian army with the weapons and
munitions of war that guard the freedom not
only of Russia but of the world. Those unsung
heroes of the constructive days of Russian en
terprise are the morning stars of earth’s free

It would make excess reading
me to enlarge at length on
things weekly readers have already-
heard or read ol' President Roose- j
velt’s visit to Ottawa. A few personal1 impressions might be more approp-1
rlate even at this date. After a j
close-up view during his address;
under the Peace Tower I am willing 1
to “string along with Roosevelt” as
I am with Churchill. He is the
typical Happy Warrior; lie simply
radiates greatness, leadership, in
spires confidence. You can see his
face for hours afterwards, Here is
a man in whom one feels one can
trust our destiny, that of our child
ren.
You should have seen his face
when making that statement about
being “everlastingly angry” at those
who think the Four Freedoms of
the Atlantic Charter are unattain
able. And his broad shoulder seem
ed to reach up into his tanned,
healthy face and jutting jaw line
when he said, "We are going to get
rid of these outlaws this time”.
You felt ready to kick off the
national sidewalk any selfish poli
tical individuals or interests when
he declared the good old days were
not that in every sense and he
rather believed "we can achieve
new and better days.” After seeing
him I believe the saying that men
make history, not history makes
men. The imprint of his visit to
the capital will be profoundly em
bedded in the sands of things to
come.
The great crowd on Parliament'
Hill was a sight to be remembered. *
The picture, the reaction was best I
summed up by that famous inter-
nationally known writer, Emil Lud-i
