Will He Be Heeded?
All the world owns that Winston
Churchill was right when he foretold his
countrymen that a world war was inevit
able. Just now, the people are asking for
someone, to read the signs of the times and
to tell the British commonwealth of nations
how the old prestige may be won. In our
opinion there, is one man who is pointing
out the duty of the hour and that man is
Sir Stafford Cripps. He. is telling Britishers
that they must produce and produce and
produce. This was the stern call of Thomas
Carlyle more than a century ago. Will Sir
Stafford be heeded? We fear his warning
will fall on as deaf ears as Churchill’s
“prepare and prepare and prepare”. We
are doing our utmost to manufacture and
to sell but when it comes to production we
arc lacking. Britain has just shown by hex’
harvesting this year’s crop under the most
difficult circumstances what she can do in
an hour of critical emergency. Will she
rise to the hard pull to which her Chancel
lor calls her? Some are heeding and by
their efforts are saving the day for the
country and the world. At the same time
the effort must be multiplied many times
if England it to attain her new glory. King
and peasant, aristocracy and the lowly,
must enter into this new enterprise of will
and endurance. No one in this warfare can
be spared through war. No Marshal plan
can bring exemption if the British race is
to hold up its head.

That Fatal Hunch
There came a time in world events
when Premier Staljp besought President
Roosevelt for aid in carrying on the great
world war. Mr. Stalin, was pretty well to
the end of his tether. Without aid from the
United States. Russia was on her beam
ends. Roosevelt’s ambassador to Russia,
William Bullitt, a man who had several
such commissions and who was ambassador
at large for the United States, warned Pre
sident Roosevelt that the hour lrad struck
for the United States to exact a pledge
and a public declaration that Russia would
cease her aggressive policies against other
• nations and act the friendly neighbour.
Others of almost equal rank with Mr. Bul
litt urged a similar action on the part of
the United States.

that Mr. Roosevelt was not dealing with a
gentleman when he was dealing with Sta
lin but with a Caucasian bandit. Roosevelt
went his wav and we are reaping the con
sequences of the president’s Pollyannaism.
Roosevelt had still another hunch. When
General Eisenhower was within a hundred
miles of Berlin, Roosevelt forbade his tak

go to Russia. We know the consequence.
The ultimate consequence may be a third

Bullitt are asking if Mr. Roosevelt got us
out of the Nazi frying pan only to have us
fall into the Communist fire. Time is an

A Dangerous Game
Over there in Berlin Russia is playing
a dangerous game. The stakes are nothing
less than the peace of the world. Should
she make one false play the nations would
be at each other’s throats. Should the wes
tern allies lose patience the guns would be
roaring within ten hours. For this state of
affairs some of the western powers or, ra
ther, one of the western powers must take
their full share of blame. Tim allies were
within one hundred miles of Berlin when
the colossal blunder was made of halting
the allied advance with the ostensible aim
of eonsiliating Russia by allowing Russia
to take possion of Berlin. Had the allies
played up to their opportunity Berlin would
Lave been in the hands of the allies this
hour, and the terrible struggle now in Ber
lin would never have begun. Russia is play
ing the game this hour with nervewrecking
skill, In her effort to get the last ally out
of Berlin she goes the limit of meanness
and annoyance. The patience of the. wes
tern powers is beyond all adequate com
mendation* Yet Russia may easily over
leapt herself. There are signs that she ia

In this she may be grievously mistaken.
She believes Britain bitterly unable to
fight. In this she is again mistaken. She.
may find that while insults break no bones
that one Britisher and one United States
citizen shot will mean war, a war that will
not end till Moscow is in the hands of the
western powers. Little by little the bear is
making every nation on earth his sworn an
tagonist. Russia’s game is dangerous and
likely to be fatal, The United States elec

Better Get at It
We have heard the sentiment about
“the western nations opposing a united
front to Russia” till the phrase has become
meaningless. Again and again Canadian
statesmen have uttered this fine sentiment
but after each utterance it seems that we
are a little further from doing anything
about it. Meanwhile the Russians are be
coming more aggressive and a great deal
more irritating. Some day the. flood will
break and to our surprise Canada will see
the necessity of practically “opposing a
united front to Russia. “We are not sure
that Canada has supplied a single airplane

has
been garnered. On the farm the fall work
is finished. In city and village holidaying
is over. Schools are opening. Young people
are setting themselves to their preparation
for their life work. Finishing touches are
being put on many an enlargement of busi
ness. Organization for serious time of work
is about completed. While the
mists linger a little longer and the sun sets
somewhat sooner, the days are fuller of
labour. The work must be done even if
there, is less sunshine in which to do it.
There is a tang in the morning air that
sets the blood to singing. Each day brings
its problems but the merry heart that
comes with those fine mornings treat the
difficulties as straws on the tide of life.

Huron County will regret the passing
of one of her distinguished sons in the per
son of the Most Reverend Charles Allen
Scager, Anglican Bishop of Huron and
Metropolitan of Ontario, who died in Lon

He was an outstanding scholar with a

be the loser because he was not permitted
