BRUSSDLS CANADA MOT SEEKING ,WAR Prime Minister Chamberlain lies addressed,himseid to several of the nations oet Burette regarding the situation. In Spain. He has not shouted at them, but he has spoken kindly and with courtesy, seeking to avoid trouble, He urges these who make °facial satements t0 think well of their words, and men- tions that lash words are apt to bring rasul consequences in their wake, No doubt there are people !n England who will denounce Cham- berlain as one who is timid. They have so spoken of others who have followed similar methods, The attitude of the British Prime Ministe • le not that of fear, but rather hat of a gentleman. it furnishes abundant proof that Bei. • tarn 1s not seeking a war but doing everything to hold nations in chert which are so minded, Britain Is not militaristic in her outlook, It -.is a great thing for the world, tint :Britain le situated just where CIF) is, and that she Items on produciiu her MacDonald, her Baldwin and her O6lamberlain.

Cwt , THE RIGHT TO , "SIT DOWN" Whether we care to admit it or net there is a new force in United States struggling far new interpre• station of law as we have understood ,It for yeas. It is being exponnd• • .ed In an ec.Planatory way in a geed many papers and magazines and by a great many speakers, and it centres pretty much on that old phrase "property rights," coming to the surface during the first of the "sit-down" strikes in the industrial plants, Summarized the new argument can be slated about like this: The worker has a property right is !1,e industry where he is employed;; and that claim is based on the assertion that every man has the right to +have a job. Going back several generations tribal oustams were, each man should have a piece of land. Today land is not the place where a number of people make a living; it has been transferred to cities and represented in buildings `This give a BULOVA 2eete. it3 077.1 ,(1e5'AMGki 75 „ 2 475 TRONA, dainty, . ,5s;} 2475 In evIlicll there is macltnel'y.

No magician could Prohibition is the opposite of true temperance It is plainly in the interest of the Brewing Industry to promote True Temperance, to defend itself and its thousands of workers against the effects of extremist propaganda. But it is also to the public interest that the whole story should be told. These messages, then, are intended as a genuine service to the great majority who are not extremists on either side . , In -1916 when Prohibition came to On- tario, sincere temperance people voted for it. They gave it eleven years fair trial. But it failed! Then the same sincere temperance people voted for its repeal—and substi- tuted government control. But government control cannot be ef- fective without self-control—for that was why Prohibition was a failure. Apart from the fact that Prohibition led people to drink who never drank before, just to show that no law could infringe their personal liberty .. . Apart from the habits of secret drink- ing which Prohibition bred , . . Apart from the contempt for all law which sprang from the breaking of this one law by high and low .. . Apart from all other sorry consequences of Prohibition, the sorriest of all was that Temperance education ceased! Instead of teaching the individual self- control, reliance was placed on law - control. Let us now pick up the trail again where it left off in 1916. For in those days, at least, it was not smart to be intemperate. Let us again regard the drinker as the problem, not the drink! • This advertisement is inserted by the Brewing Industry in the interest of a better public understand- ing of certain aspects of the problems of temperance and local option.
