The Russian in vasion of Finland. For some time Fin land has been nervous that the big Russian Bear would take a notion to force its way into this country so that this brave little people would be for ced to give up that which Rusisa coveted. Many days, in fact weeks, were spent with representatives of the two countries talking over the situ ation but Finland would not agree to the Russian demands. Finland, no doubt felt that she could do so safely as the two countries had a pact of non aggression. But such pacts or treaties mean very little to some countries Rusisa is one of these and Germany has long since shown her disregard for treaties that she decides to violate. So the Red menace lined her large army on the border of Fin land on the pretext of defence. Then the big Red Army went forward into Finland. Such a large army could not work with the co-ordination that was evidenced by the Russian move if plans had not been formulated before the attack by quite some time. It is a jok'e, but not for Finland, that the Soviet had to protect herself from invasion by the people of this great little country. Russia has a pop ulation'of many, many millions (180, 000,000,) while the Finnish people are practically defenseless with it less than 5,000,000, souls. This move on Russia’s part will make many friends for Finland and it may be that Germany will rue the day she lined up with Communistic Russia much sooner than most people thought she would. Russia has learn ed this new war technique used by the Nazi’s and it may be an expensive lesson for the powers that be in Ger many. jjc * * LOSSES AT SEA The loss of about 160 merchant ves sels since the outbreak of the war has "SWEEY J capoR^ been a disturbing factor to many people. Truest is a large number of vessels and every effort will have to be made to stop these losses. The illegal warfare carried on by Germany has been the means most of this destruction and the lies will as they have in the past vise ways and means to "combat latest menace, the magnetic mine. It is reported that already a means of exploding these mines in a -harmless manner has been devised. If this type of warfare is successfully defended, then no doubt the, Germans will strive by other means, fair or foul, to attach the shipping lanes of the allies. When one takes a calm view of the losses at sea, the realization comes that this destruction is not nearly as diastrous as' the enemy make out or as bad as it would appear if properly studied. ■•* The gross tonnage lost is about 650,000 tons, but at this figure the merchant marine has hardly been dented. The loss in gross -tonnage is less than 1 per cent, and much of this loss can be replaced by the ship yards of the Empire and the Allies. Great Britain has been the greatest numerical loser with about 325,000 gross tons and this is only slightly over 1 per cent. Britain has successfully combated the submarine menace and will also this new mine menace. The main thing for we public to do is keep up our courage. ❖ * * * APPLES Due to war conditions the apple growers of Canada are unable to ship their product to distant ports as they have in the past. This creates a dis tinct hardship on these farmers. The Ontario apple is known, as one of the finest in quality, if not the best, that is grown anywhere .in the world. People in other parts of the world. crave Ontario apples, while we at home more or less take them for granted. This fine luscious, sweet, theap fruit is good foreman, woman or child. Apples may be eaten at any time. Nothing beats the Ontario ap ple. We in Canada use a very large am ount of imported citrus and 'other fruits. We do suggest that we stop the use of these fine imported lines but with this bounteous, delicious, healthful crop produced within our own province we can do much for ourselves and our province by using' more apples this year.
