HAS ANY 'NATION ,
ENOUGH?,
There are not many days going by
^when the atateanent is not made or
printed that Canada is not suffic-
iently armed. It seems to be the
logical or the obvious thing to say
in times like the present, because
it is cetrain none will rise to com-
bat the claim,
It is also thereat that one can
find the same thing being said In
other countries. It is a. popular
saying in United! States today, in
which, country money has, been
.spent by the. billions of dollars ror
more planes, more battleships{ and
more of everything which. looks
like armament.
It's a stnange and muddied old
world in which we ISve at the mo-
ment. Our supply of love and of
charilo; of tolerance and goodrwill
may be low; low even to the point
of Impoverishtment. But we sledom

(There a time when a nation comes
'to the point of candid admission
that it 'hassullfcient? If so we ad-
mit to have failed• to notice such
admission.
THE DIE

The die has been cast. Great
Britain and France have declared
war against Gertnny, The two
countries, delayed until the last with
the Trope and conflict which threat-
ens the very existence of Western
�civilizntion
could," be 'prevented.
However, matie0f a wa.s exhausted

resuest of Italy tora last.anfnaite

ultimatum was given to Germany
to withdraw her forces from Poland

"We' have done all that any

no word given iby Germany's
ruler could be 'trusted and no

now {dad we have resolved to

These words reflect the senti-
ment of people who live under the
Union Jack throughout the world.
Tike abominate war. It is with
sick hearts they see the world
plunged into a cataclysm the end of
which no one dare predict. With
'modems 'means of war it will be
the most terrible and most horrible
struggle in 'history.
But there was no alternative. If
Hitler was allowed to continue his
march across Europe, no free and
Independent people would be safe,
The issue is not Danzig or the
Polish Corridor — it is liberty, free-
dom and hvnnan progress. If Hitler
wins,' the clock of the wold will be
turned back to medievalism,
Canada will stand, final by Britain.

STOP TERROR
BY FACING IT
There seems no limit to the
height which the tension in Europe
can reach. it is im'portan't to remem-
ber that the creat:Jon• of tension rs
a deliberate part of the Nazi meth-
od,
The greater the furor, the wilder
the alarms and excursions, the
higher the crisis temperature, the
easier it has been in the past to
extent those concessions' on which
the Nazi conquerors are banking.
The same devices are being used
again.
It isa all stage managed as deliber-
ately as. any play, says the New
York Post,
The entire apparatus, Hitler's Sec-
lusion on a mountain tap mysterious
conversations between Genmany
cud Italian otftcials with. no an-
nou ncemenitsi following the press
banitge, the careful creation of the
air of urgency.—all these are weap-
ont, used as cadoulatingly as• any
tanks or 'guts'.
14 a certain degree of 'pressure
clogs not work, the forces o contus-
ion can be stepped up the following
clay, and so again, day atter day, in
the hope re&t''etnce will crumble.
The question In Europe is
whether these techniques, will be
alloaved to dominate the Continent.
The only way of stopping this
use of 'terror on an international
eicale is to fade it,
There can he no peace In Europe
on the basis of any other Solution.
The forces Hitler unlooses in
these sucoelelsife epet+tanulnr emer-
gencies may snip from his own con -
trot. Even ae we go to press they
have er'laderl into war. Mobtllza•
tion may reach a pitch at which 1tb
own momentum will carry it over
the edge.
There is no question but that
Hitler has devised 'a new and. a1•
most overwhelmingly powerful
method of aggression.
But there is also no questton that
to anew llirn to continaae its use is
to allow on irresponsibie to manage
an ammunition dump.
Alli humanity 1s' bilutalized 'When
it can be subjected' to these Periodic
emergencies at the iviiim of a single
man,
The worlds has. never permitted
that or tong hu tifia past. ,
