What About Canadians?
The National Resources Commit-
tee of the United States ha•sdiscover-
ed in the most complete survey ever
made of the way the people of that
country spend their money, that the
poorer two-thirds of the nation did
not live within its income.
'On the other hand the other one-
third which might b6 called the up-
per class, spent four times as much
as thhe others for its food, shelter and
clothing, but still saved one-fifth of
its total income.
This Commission also found that
automobile expenditures now rank
fifth on the family budget of Ameri-
cans and that six and a half per cent.
of the total consumer income was
necessary to keep "the family car"
running.
Well, we ask, how does at com-
pare with ns in Canada? nd the
answer is—pretty much the same -
if not a little more so.

Municipal Elections Still. An
Issue
The -proposal of the Provincial
Government to extend the term of
municipal elections for two years,
with, the further possibility that a
moratorium be placed on such elec-
tions
lections for the remainder of the war,
is still a Iive issue in the country,
judging by what one hears and also
by the attention that it has received
at the hands of both city and rural
press.
By making a summary of the two
forms of expression, one would con-
clude that the proposed action of the
government would not prove a pop-
ular measure. Country opinion, in
all probability, would be willing to
stretch a point and accept a two
year term, but extending the life of
municipal governments over the per-
iod of the war is quite a different
matter altogether.
There is, too, a rather general con-
demnation of the attitude adopted
by, the government and particillarly
that expressed by Hon. Mr. Cross,
when he said that referendums on
the question would be a waste of
time and 'money, because the Gov-
ernment had made up its mind to in-
troduce and carry the measure in
the Legislature.
The Legislature, of course, ba=s
that power. In fact, it is only by
consent of that body that municipali-
ties have the power to hold munici-
pal elections yearly, as has been the
custom for a great many years. At
the same time, those who are in-
timately connected with municipal
affairs, realize fully the danger that
might, and in a good many cases, un-
doubtedly would ensue to municipal
life by extending the term of life in-
definitely-.
But beside this fear of possible
consequences, arising out of an un-
tamed and undeclared term of of-
fice, there is a general dislike of the
dictatorial attitimie adopted by the
Government, which attitude in it-
self, leads to what almost amounts
to a feeling of distrust in the minds
of the people in the municipalities,
particularly those in the country.
And that feeling of distrust arises
out of the fear that placing a mora-
torium on municipal elections is only
the thin edge of the wedge which
will have the result of placing a mor-
atorium on elections to the Legisla-
te as Well, during the course of the
war. Th ls'o lies in the power of
the Gc 'e*fie elit,

•
With Whom Are We At War ?
That is a question that has been
answered in two different ways, by
two of the leading newspapers and
newspaper editors in Ontario during
the past week.
Mr. B. K. 'Sandwell, editor of Sat-
urday Night, is of the belief that we
are at war with Hitler, the Hitler
system and all it implies, and he
gives his full endorsement to the
statement of Prime Minister Cham-
berlain, who in a broadcast talk to
the German people on September
4th last said: "In this war we are
not fighting against you, the Ger-
man people, for who we have
no bitter feeling, . but against a
tyranneous and forsworn regime
which has betrayed, not only its own
people, but the whole of western civ-
ilization and all that you and we
hold dear."
On the other hand, Mr. George
McCullagh, editor of The Globe and
Mail, takes a rather violent excep-
tion to an editorial, "We and the
German People," written by Mr.
Sandwell in last week's Saturday
Night. And Mr. McCullagh not only
takes exception to Mr. Sandwell's
words, but also to the above words
of Mr. Chamberlain and to very sim-
ilar words expressed by Prime Min-
ister King in the Canadian parlia-
ment and in broadcasts to the Cana-
dian people.
Mr. McCullagh not only takes
issue with these statements, but he
goes much further when he describes
the German people as "this murder-
ous war mongering tribe which has
plunged the world into war twice
within a quarter of a century," and
maintains that we will have to fight
"until all that Germanism represents
is totally destroyed." ,
To say the very least, that is a
very harsh opinion of the German
people held by the editor of The
Globe and Mail as expressed by him
both in his newspaper and his broad-
cast a week ago, and one which for a
minute we can not entertain, because
we have spent a life time in close as-
sociation with the German people in
this part of the Province, and we
know it to be untrue.
This county and the adjoining one
has a large population of German
people, and while it is true that a
large proportion of them are second
and third generation German -Cana-
dians, there Ore still quite a few of
them who were born in Germany.
But German born or Canadian born,
we say without hesitation, that these
people are just as peace loving and
loyal citizens as the Irish and Scotch
born citizens and their descendants,
which largely make up the balance
of the population of this and the ad-
joining counties.
The -Germans in Canada, of
course, are not the Germans in Ger-
many. But like begets like, and giv-
en the same opportunities of free-
dom of thought, expression and ac-
tion as have the Germans in Canada,
we believe the .Germans in Germany
would be no different from those of
our own. But that freedom they
have never had, otherwise our Ger-
man population would not be what
it is to -day.
Mr. McCullagh, of course, has a
perfect right to his own opinion and
to express It as forcibly as he wish-
es, but we believe that if he had had
a longer, closer touch with the peo-
ple in the country, he would have
hesitated before publishing the edi-
torial, "Wishful Thinking or Real-
ism," or expressing himself as he did
in his broadcast, because we very
much fear the only "Realism" that
will follow either will be the strik-
ing of the loudest, most discordant
note against the unity of Canada
since that one struck by ex -Premier
Duplessis of the Province of Que-
bec.
Repeating the question of Mr.
Sandwell in his Saturday Night, we
ask: "Who represents more cor-
rectly the views of the people of
Canada and of Great Britain, 'Mr.
King and Mr. Chamberlain, or Mr.
McCullagh?"

Lazy Meadows

(By •Harry J.. Boyle) 0
BABY COST
My friend Eddie Guest once wrote
a poem that I have never appreciat-
ed until Lazy Meadows was gifted
with a baby. Eddie wrote about the
cost of a baby, and the poem came
back to any mind today by what one
(,.met Si Higgins in the villagl get -
of the neighbors said;
dug ohgp, and in the course of con-
versation he asked me, "How much
did the, baby cost?" I mentally figur-
ed up Doctor Jim's fees, and var-
ious other items of expenditure, and
told him. But on the way home 1
started thinking!
You dont just calculate the cost of
a baby by the amount of money that
you have to Lay out for it. The oost
of babies isn't reckoned in dollars and
cents. There's a different form of cur-
rency to use when you start figuring
up a cost such as that.
A baby costs you, first of all, those
dreadful hours of waiting when you
wander around in a sort of half mind.
You wait, and the suspense grows!
You start imagining, and if you don't
get out and walk or smoke, or do
scmething to distract your own atten-
tion, it will sort of get you. But then
comes that great moment when the
doctor similes and tells you it's a boy
or a girl, and all the little bother
you've had is wiped out by the realiz-
ation of a fond dream_
There's those first -few nights when
you aimlessly wander around trying
to be helpful but the women folk
chase you away. It's so maddening to
have them shrug their shoulders as if
to say, "What would a mere man
know about such things." This goes
on for at least a week, and then one
magic day you happen to find the
baby in the cradle and ,isee's crying
and they have turned their backs. You
seize the opportunity and delicately
pick her up, and, Seeder of wonders,
she stops crying- From then on you
are an expert, at least you're pretty
well convinced yourself of that fact,
and what else matters.

• The action follows the calling up
of fresh troops by the Federal
Council, thereby ending the extended
leaves granted to many of the 500,-
000 held under arms since August
28th. No reason was given for the
summons.
It is a well known fact, however,
that this mountain republic, tradi-
tionally the most delightful play-
ground i,n Europe, occupies an impor-
tant strategic position in the war.
There are two routes through
which Germany could conceivably at-
tempt to turn the -.right flank of
France's powerful Maginet Line- One
is through Basel and the comparative-
ly level country in the northwestern
part of Switzerland. A successful
thrust here would bring the Germans
into Doubs prefecture, from which
they could advance toward Paris
through the valley of the Saone. An
advance along the lakes of Western
Switzerland, ending in Geneva, would
make possible an invasion of the val-
ley of the Rh*. e, threatening the im-
portant indusltrial districts of St.
Etienne and Clermront-Ferranti.
But the Swiss do not appear to
have the slightest intention of let-
ting any invader walk across their
territory unopposed
One proof of this is the series' of
measures for increased national •de-
fense, costing over $200,000,000, a
very considerable finan0ial effort for
a country,,. of 4,000,000 inhabitants,
which the Swiss Government has car-
ried out during the last three years.
Another. is the resolute determina-
tion which one finds in Swiss of all
classes, not to give up one bit of
Swiss territory without a fight.

a trained soldier.
Entering the Army at the age of
20 the young Swiss receives a
period of preliminary training which
was recently extended from three
months to four. He is then called
for service for some three. weeks ev-
ery year up to the age of 48; recent-
ly men up to the age of 60 have been
called on to perform this short an-
nual period of military training, which
includes some of the strenuous moun-
taineering in wrhich the Swiss are na-
turally adept.
The Army is divided into three
classes, the Elite, between the ages
of 20 and; 32, the Landwehr, from 33
to 40, and the Landsturm, from 41
to 48. in the event of war the young-
er men. would naturaPly be sent to
the front, while the older classes
would be to a large extent reserved,
for garrison and depot service.
Army of 500,000 Ready
Switzerland is able to plate 500,-
000 men in the field. Two points on
which the Swiss Army especially
prides itself are its excellegt rifle
marksmanship and its capacity for
swift mobilization. Every Swiss, sol-
dier (and . this means almost every
adult able.bodlied male Swiss citizen)
keeps his rifle and small arms and
his horse, if he belongs to the cav-
alry, at home, while aniinlmnitiow in
large quantities is stored in central
supply steifrone. The first signal of
danger would send to the frontier in
an extremely abort time a host of
ditizen-soldiers, in some ways not' un-
like the .frontier militia of the Ameri-
can Revolution, but better trained
and, discirplined.
Air attack would perhaps be the
greatest danger for Switzerland. Al-
though the country's. air force has in-
creased, it is naturally not campar-
able • with those of its larger neiglr-
bone and air bomlbing might inflict
considerable damage on electrical in-
stallation's and railway junctions.
However, mountains afford limited
protection, against air attack and the
Swiss manufacture a pretty good
type of antiaircraft gun.
