Aloof From Commitments From. the begu'ili'ng Switzerland re- fused to undertake the military obli- gations of the Covenant or the League of Nations, considering ,these ineon- 'sistent with tthe historic principles of its neutrality. More recently it con- tracted out of the obligation to join in economic sanctions against an ag- gr'r state. • Switzerland does not commit itself to any staff talks with France or Eng- land, and the taverage Swiss would Peep; a mixture of amusement. and ir- ritation at the idea of his country being guaranteed by the Soviet Un- ions, a country with which Switzer- land, au old democracy that is equal- ly averse to Oomanuuris'm and to Fascism, Chas nefutfed to take up dip- lornatic relations.- " •Switzerland-, ,one feels, will remain true to the ideal's of the founder's of its Confederacy, the three cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden, who, in 1291, bound; thetmselves "in view of the bad times and for their better protection and d'efen'se, to stand by one another, with counsel and with action., with life and with property, with united force and strength, a- gainst any and, all who threaten op- press4on and injustice." STORING VEGETABLES The most efficient way to Morn vegetables is to,have a properly con- stnicted storage where ventilation and temperature can be regulated, as these two factors determine the con- dition of freshness, says Geo. Rush, Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. To the sm,ail householder, this is not 'possible and other methods have to be employed. Both cabbage and roots can be stored successfully in cellars witrhout a furnace, but exposure to dry heat will dry or decompose vegetables. Earthen crocks with air -tight lids are ideal for the small family, Mr. Rush states. He points out that heat takes some time to penetrate such a receptacle and vegetables will keep nice and fresh. An old wash boiler, lined with paper, and a good tight lid, can also be used to advantage, while many fanners use old milk cans for storage of vegetables. "Don't wash vegetables before stor- ing them," advises Mr, Rush. "Rub the earth off with a brush, but never wash them. They will lose their freshness, if you do. Keep vegetables at from 34 to 40 degrees. Squash, onions and pumpkins, are different from the other vegetabls. They must be kept dry and will remain fres'.h at In Praise of Stupidity Iit is reassuring to note 'how often the authorities have been accused of stupidity sin'oe the outbreak of the war . . . The English have always shone as a nertion of grumblers. They must have a grumble or die who speak the speech, etc. I remember how I neyself, when I first came to England during the Boer War, be- came infected with the gambling spteIL Every Suwday night I had to write the betiding article in a provin- cial r'ovincial daily newspaper when the ardin- aay leader -writer took a nigh off, and every Monday morning appeared my denunciation of the authorities either for somet tizig they had done or for something thoy shad not done -it did not really inatter whicht. Naturally, I made full use''of the great p'ha'se of the hour, "a tgovernmeart' of mess, muddle and makebelieve." But a. my happiest memory is of the leader in which I described Lord Salisbury, who had just made a speech, as hav- ing behaved "like a clown in a pul- pit." I was rather proud of that phrase, and, when the proprietor of the news- paper sent for nue on Monday I im- agined that this must be in order to centgardtultartle ane, 110 my astonish ment, he -shook chis• head grimly as he stared at the leader, a.nd 'mid to rale "This will never do . . Lord Salisbury," he said, "is a great man -a •mran who •should be spoken of with respect. What do you suppose,- ' e askede with a pained expression, "be will think 11 he takes up this pa - liar and finds that we have called trim a clown?" It was a question to ••••hick I did not know the answer. I might rhave assured him that there was not the ,s+lightest chance of Lard Salisbury's seeing his paper, but I re- alized that hie might not like that. Hence, I accepted his reproof as gracefully as possible and agreed not to call Lord Salisbury a clown again. Aconsartionts of stupidity today dif- fer from the accusations of those days in being directed, for the most part, not against individual states- men, but against Some vague body known as "the authorities." It was the authorities, for example, who were accused of stupidity in ordering the black -out. One critic maintained that the black -out only made London more coespieuous. Others said that, as the object of a blackout was to save life, it was stupid to have a black -out so complete that people lost their lives in it. A military man wrote to a great newspaper saying that it was stupid to have ,a blackout at all in the rural districts, since the country was exactly the place where we It) to .15.. degrees heat.. Green vege- tables, such as celery; cabbage and 1Prlss should be kept at 31 degrees F., with a moist condition." should like German raidtea's to drop their bombe -a podalt not appreciated in the villages- On the whole, hew - ever, tihet:lbtroekout has not been the object .o>F•tesitturyuch criticism as might have been expected from a nation of gruanblers. After all, no one but a fana•t.ie wants his neighborhood to be too visible in an air-raid . . Then came the stupidity] of the ev- acuation, At first, everyone agreed that the evacuation 'had been carried ,out with the brilliance of a tour de force; and the authorities must have beamed with self-congratulation. They forgot, however, that authorities are always stupid, and that the public or a large part of it, sooner or later finds this out. It was not long before it found out hoer etnpid4y the evacua- tion Iliad"'been miexnanaged. The au- thorities, it seems, had forgotten that England contains slums which are a blot on civilization._ shame in which it is oomanonr for parents and chil- (lren to be infested with vermin. In. - stead of arranging for a medical ex- amination of the evacuees --wheat a word! ---they rushed• them all, clean a.nd unclean, out ,into the country, and the number of unclean was large enough to Cause conrsterna,tion in many aquiet village. The houses botel of the clean rich and of the clean poor became the .Living quarters, of insects that had hitherto been as strange to them as emus. - , . How -I wish I were a younger man and could recover the accusatory ecstasy with which I relied Lard Salisbury a clown in a pulpit. I sh'ou'ld rally all my vocabularly far a mass attack on the Ministry of In- formation . 1 have looked up Roget's Thesaurus for adjectives re- lating to stupidity that I should use against it enol have found some ad- mirable ones . . . I should especial- ly enjoy describing bbe Ministry of Information as "insulse." As a friend j of mine says, it is so inealls•ing Other forms of Governmena stupid- ity during the last few weeks are too numerous to mention. There was the stupidity of closing Billingsgate fish market and then having to open it again. There was the stupidity of allowing all kinds of queer people to commandeer any hotel that took their fancy as a Government office, even though it was a place for the treat- ment of invalids, Referring to these and all the. ether forms that stupidity Nos takes since tRe war, e. maaaattl to ,else the "This 'ceb u1ta" is in the leaucratic bunntpkins," I have thought of that phrase' was writing 'leading caurtioiic , Prov vines.
