The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was written A.D. 60. Place,—The parable from Matt- hew's Gospel was spoken on the Mount of Olives, The two passages taken from Luke's Gospel were uttered in Peraea. The Second ,Epistle . to the Corinthians was probably written from Philippi, to the great city of Corinth, in Greece. 1. "Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the •,churohes of Macedonia; 2. how that in much proof of affliction the abundance . of their joy .and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 3. For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own ac- cord, 4, beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship In the min- istering to the saints." Strange to say it is not those to, whom the gopsel, conies easily, and on whom ft imposes little, who are most generous in its cause, On the con- trary, it is those who have suf- fered for it who are as a rule most open-handed. Comfort makes men selfish, even though they are Christian; but if they are Chris- tian, affliction, even to the spoil- ing of their goods, teaches them generosity, True Liberality 6. "And this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God, 6. In- somuch that we exhorted Titus, spat as be had made a beginning before, so he would, also complete In you this grace oleo," Christian giving begins with the surrender of self to Chalet, from which nec- essarily follows the glad offering of wealth. These Macedonians did more than Paul bad hoped, and the explanation of the unexpected largeness of their contribution was their yielding of themselves to Jesus. That is the deepest source of all true liberality. 7. "But u ye abound in every- thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in earnestness, and in your lave to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.. 8. 1 speak not by way of command- ment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincer- ity also of your love.„ The Corin- thians had apparently made a def- inite promise that they would give liberally for the poor In Jer- nealem. But Paul somehow seems to feel that they might he a little forgetful about this promise, and be tempted to be negligent in ful- filling their vows, so he encourag- es them to go on and to do that which they had originally intended to do. Loving The Brethren 9. "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.” The Lard so far laid aside the glory of his divine 'majesty, that he was to all appearance a man, and even a servant, so that men recused to recognize him as God, but despised, persecuted, and at last crucified him, as a man. It Is by his poverty that we am made rich. Unless he had submit- ted to all the humiliation of his incarnation and death, we should forever have remained poor, des- titute of all holiness, happiness and glory. The apostle teaches here that it is vain for man to process or to imagine that he loves Christ, if he does not love the brethren and is not liberal in relieving their wants. 6. "But this I say, He that sow- eth sparingly shall reap also spar- ingly; and he that soweth bounti- fully shall reap also bountifully," We may learn that it is right to present to men the divinely or- dained consequences of their ac- tions a.' motives to control their conduct. It is right to tell men that obedience to Cod, devotion to his glory and the good of others, will effectually promote their own welfare. The Cheerful Giver 7. "Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God lovetll a cheerful giver." in the whole matter of Christian giving nothing is ever to he "erne "from grief"; no one is to he sorry about letting anything pass out of Ma hands, no one is ever to say: "1 am sorry I gave or gave so ON FIELDS OF ENGLAND s Peace and war seem to merge in this photo of a Oanadian tank ., on exercises in one of the smooth meadows of England. The tank is a light cruiser, of the type recently issued to the Canadian Brigade. Could Still Tote Three Big C's A Wicked Pistol Spell Confusion Minister of Information Bren- dan Bracken said recently that when Premier Winston Churchill made his last Journey to France in 1940 he took a pistol in hope of getting "at least one. German." "As we walkeddown the stairs together, with rain pelting - out- side he Churchill looked ex- tremely grave," Bracken maid,, "Soddenly he turned to his but- ler and said, 'Get me my heavy pistol.' "I asked him why he wanted it. "The Prime Minister replied: "Wen, if we are attacked by the enemy, I may be able to account for at least one German: " much." Nothing is ever to be giv- en from compulsion. Ever the feel - lag Is to be: "I am happy I gave, 1 really should have given more." God loves the lighthearted, joyous, happy giver. He neither figures nor calculates. Such a giver is himself filled with the love of God. The Cunningham brothers and a fellow named Coningham have teamed up to' make things hot for the Axis in North Africa. The •sudden new advance into Libya is being led by Lt, Gen.

Running the air arm of the new offensive is Air Vice -Marshal Coningham, an Australian who first flew during the First Great War.

Sclen- =tifically' so Thai Moth Won4i- Even Take a Nibble The scientists in the National Bureau of Standards have turned their attention to' wool, relgtes The New York Times, Warns and serviceable as it is, it has its draw- backs. The larvae of moths de- vour it. Molds grow on it. Bac- • teria play havoc with it. Strong soaps corrode it. Sunlight ages it. Taken all in all, it presents as many problems as an automo- bile or an airplane, • At the Bur- eau *of Standards all these seem to have been solved at one fell swoop by the simple expedient of studying the structure of wool and then treating it so that the larvae of moths turn sick if they nibble at it, bacteria die if they try to get a foothold in it, and even some soaps turn .from it in, a •kind of chemical horror, ' A. thread •of 'wool is a chain of molecules, Bend the chains and they remain bent, which explains creasing. If the creases disap- pear when a suit is hung up, it is because the molecules aro coiled so that they eventually spring hack when bent or twisted. • .There are also cross-claims. If a moth's larvae or some chemicals eat these, a piece of wool cloth simply falls to pieces. So the 'problem reduced itself to treating the cress, chains, Wool Made Indigestible First the . cross -chains were broken down with chemicals, so that they were in just as sad a condition as If they had been at- tacked by a moth's larvae. . But when the broken ends were reun- ited with .the aid of other chem- icals they were in better condi- tion than ever. Wool's fibres are largely protein and therefore the chemical equivalent of beefsteak. But the protein in the cross= chains is indigestible after it has been thus doubly treated, with result that it becomes so much. poison to the most ravenously hungry larvae. And so with strong soaps. They have no lik- ing for this transformeil. protein —refuse to combine with it. Such feats would have been int- possible fifty or more years ago. The structure of organic mole- cules had to be studied as if they were houses, and ways had to be found of changing that structure. So it happens -that we have plas- tics, synthetic vitamins, hormones, rubbers. And now a successful frustration • of the moth. Away with camphor, mothballs and tar- paper bags.

Is the man's or the woman's - name spoken first when introduc- ing a man and his wife to a group of persons? 3, Is it correct for a member of the bridegroom's family to give a shower for the bride? 4. How should salespeople In department stores address their customers? 5. What is the regulation size for wedding invitations, dances and similar affairs, 6. What is the proper way ...to remove some foreign substance that one has taken into the mouth while at the table? ANSWERS 1, This practice is not frowned upon as it once was. It is better, however, to keep the elbows off the table until coffee and cigar- ettes are in order, 1 The wife's. name should be spoken first, 3. No; neither the family ot the bride nor the bridegroom should give showers. 4. Customers should be addressed by name when it is known; otherwise as "madam" and "sir," Saleswomen should never address women customers as A "deario" or "honey"; this is ex- ceedingly crude. Nor is it good form to refer to a woman accom- panying a plats as "The wife" or "The misses," 5. Tho regulation size is five and a halt by seven and three -eighth incites, 6.

People of Paris Are Not Fooled Tire Paris papers are read. by no one except the Quislings and people bought by Germany, and the news -vendors, who in the past used to sell thousands of copies outside Metro stations, often now implore the passerby to buy a copy if only, they add pitifully, to enable then' to earn a small pittance. Sales of Paris-Soir, in spite of intense propaganda and big prizes to readers, have fallen from a million and a half copies before the war from 4 to 5,000, One day each month, however, sales are satisfactory; that is on the day the paper announces the new month's rations.

At a regimental dinner, the colonel came round and put & fatherly hand on the shoulder of the young subaltern, "Look here, my boy," he said, "this ir ycur first dinner, and I know you won't mind a little ad- vice from me, Go easy with the decanter, and don't try to stick it too long. Here's a good tip for you, You see those two candle- sticks there? Well, when you be- gin to see four instead of two, clear off," "All right, sir," said the young man, "But I can't see more than one at present." "Paw, what's an advertise- ment?" "An advertisement, my boy, is almost any picture of a pretty girl (or girls) eat- ing, cooking, smelling, wear• ing or driving something the advertisers are anxious to sell," The New Army apparently doesn't know much about con- duct sheets as the old. A young soldier was recently brought -be- fore his - company commander charged with his first crime, a minor matter. "Has he a clean sheet?" the 'officer asked the sergeant -major. "Excuse me, sir," the accused man broke in hurriedly, "I have only been issued with blankets." "1 wish I could be sure of distinguishing plants from weeds. How did you learn?" "Pull 'em out, and if they come up again they're weeds." Mr. McPherson gave some ad- vice to his wife when they were expecting friends to tea. "Just mind, Jeannie," he said, "to put the sugar -tongs in the basin, an' not a spoon." "But we have no lump sugar in the hoose," she expostulated. "We've only granulated," "I was mindin' -that!" said Mc-' Pherson. "What did your father say about you smashing up his car?" "Shall I. leave out the swear words?" "Certainly." "Then he didn't say any- thing." Two sweethearts from Aber- deen were rambling 'round when they came to a movie. The young man ran his eye over the front of the building. It rested on a title in large let- ters: "The Woman Pays," "Jean," he said. ' "1 think we'll gang in here," Bump: "Has your wife learned to drive the car yet?" Bumper. "Yes. In an ad- visory capacity." Harmless Goldfish Destroying Trout Do you think of goldfish as harmless little parlor pets? Then you should talk to Spence Turner, Los Angeles county's 'chief for- ester. Look what goldfish have done to fishing in Crystal Lake, high up in the nearby San Gabriel mountains, There the harmless parlor pets have turned predatory, destroying thousands of trout and other game fish, much to the disgust of an- glers. After all, who but a cat wants to eat goldfish? There are tons of them pursuing their ruin - 011.9 ways. Years ago, a benevolent lady living in San Gabriel canyon couldn't take her goldfish with her so she found a good hone for then' turning the fish loose in the lake, • Now the situation is so serious that Turner and the state fish and game commission plan an . exter- mination campaign. Large bags will be filled with a mixture of mud and powdered timbo root from South America. The mixture will drug the lake and paralyze the gills of all fish. They will float to the top to be gathered off in boats. Some fish will get a new start in another lake, For the goldfish, Turner adds, it will he the finish. !Relieves distress from MONTHLY% FEMALE WEAKNESS Lydia E.

Smaller Turkeys Being Developed • Rays of cheery news slip through the warcloud pall now and then, One of these pleasant glimmerings of hope is the tip from the Farm Research Division of the North Carolina State Col- lege that a small turkey is being developed for the market, says the New York Times. As the average American hone shrinks in number of rooms and in size of refrigerator and oven, the annual bird of the nation is -following suit, Thousands of vic- tims of the large turkey to which the country has been accustomed these many years will hail this information joyfully. They will feel that the Christmas season, now looming a 'natter of weeks away, can at last be a really thankful time, Turkey is all right with most of us for one day at a time, and probably for a second day, But turkey that lingers on in various forms and guises through an en- tire week, appearing now as cold cuts, now as stew, now as cro- quettes, later as hash and finally as soup, outstays its welcome and outlasts the enthusiasm of its con- sumer. One can have too much of a good thing, even turkey, One can be fed up with it. HOW CAN I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I remove gelatin mixtures from the mould more easily. A, It is often rather difficult to remove gelatin mixtures from the mould. In this case, dip a clean cloth into warm water, place under the mould for ten seconds—no longer. Then loosen the edges of the mould with a knife and quick- ly invert the mould. The gelatin will come out with even edges. Q. How can I prevent the tea- cups from slipping about on the saucers when passing them to guests? A, It is a good idea to put a few drops of hot water into the saucers before placing the teacups on them, This will do away with that clattery slipping of the cups when passing them to the guests. Q. How can I clean ootle(1 fea- thers? A, Cover the soiled feathers with warm .pipe clay and allow to stand for several days. Then beat out the powder, Q. How can I make a delicious sausage pie? A, Buy some well•soasoned sau- sage meat. Pat out in a shallow pan having the meat about 8/4 - inch deep in the pan. • Cover the top with rich biscuit dough and score in squares convenient for serving. Bake in a hot oven 1400 degrees) for about 20 minutes, Cut crust through the scored sec- tions, Q. How can I remove stains from my finger nails and soften my cuticles? A. Squeeze a teaspoon of lemon juice into one cup of warm water. Dip the fingers into this and let remain for a few minutes, This will remove'stains from the nails and soften the cuticle.

MEET `ROOSEVELT' Pride and joy of an R.A.F. unit fighting in Libya is this watch- dog the British fighters call "Roosevelt." Pup's pictured in an armored car. Russians Use Flying Tanks Russians are using . "flying tanks" or "tank -'planes" In ground strafing attacks on Ger- man airfields and columns, Nast propaganda company reporters said recently. The heavily -armor- ed 'planes, designed exclusively for low-level strafing, were said to be Russia's newest type JR2 machines. The Nazi reporters ad- mitted German fighter 'planes had pumped "enormous quantities" of bullets into the 'planes with little effect. The Airplane Goes Higher and Higher When Sir Frederick Basting was killed In a plane crash, says the Windsor Star, he was in the midst of experiments to discover some way to permit plane pilots to go up to 40,000 feet and higher. The human being can go only so high without requiring stimu- lation of some sort to live. Most pilots can go to 15,000 feet and fight their planes for an hour at that altitude, But, when a pilot gets to 25,000 feet he can survive for half an hour without oxygen. But, when he reaches 35,000 feet, he has to breathe 100 percent oxygen ,to ,live, Some method is sought to allow • the pilots to go higher still. The Nazis are working on a scheme that will permit the German pilots to go to 50,000 feet and live and fight their planes. They have not worked out the formula yet, and the British and Americans are hoping to find the secret first. Higher and higher goes the war, and tho pilots who can go the highest have an advantage on their enemy. Germans Called Goosestep Fliers In the comments of British fighting pilots on the German raid- ers is probably found the secret, which not a few people have been seeking, of the superiority of our aerial fighters, man for man, over their German opponents. The R.A.F. men call the Nazis "goose. step fliers." They find that they are superb performers when in foe' mation and under strict command, but they become confused and un. sure of themselves when the squadrons are brokeei up and they are on their own. Here is to be found, perhaps, the fundamental weakness of the Nazi system, and even of She whole Teutonic character. The Nazis have simply stressed and intensified the German flair foe regimentation. They have tried tO make every fighting force a ma• chine, It makes for efficiency to the plass, but it is deadly to In- dividual initiative It is the factor, in fact, which will untimately win the war for us, When a British force, on land, in the air or at sea, is broken up and disorganized by enemy action, each unit and each man becomes a fighting machine of itself, They are, in tact, most dangerous when Isolated. Such disorganization spells disaster for the mass -mind- ed Germans. That, in Its briefest form, is why our fighters are bet. ter and always will be. ...CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTSSU.

MacKINNON-- Recently at the top left -hated corner of The Globo and 'Mail the following Roman nutnerlals and figures appeared: VOL, XCVIII, NUMBER 28,694, • .Something similar is shown on each paper issued. They do not attract nitwit attention, because, taken by themselves, they are ot• little nows value, However when they are analyzed, and their full meaning is considered, they ersuma a wealth of importance. These immortals and figaras indicate that Tho Globe rs rapidly approaching "Ono 1-Iund•ed Years of Publication," During the period the great paper has been published, tremendous change.; have taken place in Canada. It has witnessed this country in Colonial garb, The founder of The Glebe saw the federation of the foto' Province's, and he had nrucai to clo with the consummation of this otitstandiug adventure, George Brown did not live to .see the Northwest Territorial brought into Confederation as Provinces, but the parser lie founded saw his dream brought to completion, The Globe has seen Canada pass from Dominion st'a'tus to that of a full partner in the British Commonwealth of Nations. It has been a witness of events from the days of Lord Metcalf to those of The Earl of Athlone, and during this period"has chronicled v,urld affairs in general an: divanrinated Canadian in[ornuation in particular. On one occasion, it is said Chas. A. Dana, wlio was an autgtautt- ing New York newspaper roan of a foimer generation, Wass asked, "What aro the essentials of a newspaper?" and Mr. Dane is reputed to have replied, "Ita.iee Cain and sell papers." That may be the idea of the business office, but It is not the standard set by the Canadian people, rather it is that the Oldie and Mail is an educator, a leader, and a diirecbor of the peoplo as well as a reflector of Canadian opinion and ideals. Thus while Premiers, Governments and Parties carie and go in •their swiftly changing Canadian life, this great Newspaper leas sur- vived them all, regardless of the success or defeat of party organiza- tions. A free people can remain free only if they know the facts, alta the reeponslbility reeling tom a widely read and respected daily newspaper is one of the highest trusts of a democrette people. As the Yuletide Season approaches, we "dip the colors" and ev- ery very good wish Is exitended to an eminent contemporary. We hope that the Roman Nuntetdale and Figures may continue to change from day to day and from year to year through each suc- ceeding decade. This salutation is given and the wish is expressed, realizing that it is quite perntissible for 'the cat to look at a King." gond to reside Oshawa.

MARRYING l• MA.RKIII. by Violette Kimball Dunn CHAPTER 26 Dorothy was resting In her room when Mark and Valerie returned, She could hear them laughing In the hall below, and then on the stairs. She was by how thoroughly frightened ,by what elle had done. She wondered now how she 'could have been so weak as to leave Lucy alone, Just because a girl from nobody knew where had had the impertinence to order her out of the room! The whole thing hinged now on whether Lucy had left a note, What had she said in it? if she had told Mark the truth, ., things would he worse than ever., If, however, she had' gone decently and, said nothing, or merely. "geed - bye;" who could connect• it with Dorothy? 'She put on what she considered a particularly fascinating frock, and went downstairs, trying to look .as it nothing lid happened, Mark and Valerie were waiting for her, and went in immediately to dinner, One look at then{ told her Lucy had gone, Valerie was very pale, and had obviously been crying. Mark was hardly himself at all. I -Its face was vary stern, and he looked years older than wlieu he had driven away that morning. Dinner was eaten practically in silence. They seemed driven by some• inner haste, and lett the table when Dorothy had barely finished her dessert. Mark beckon- ed her into the library,' and Val- erie followed. She had begun to cry once more, and Mark put his arm around her as he faced Dor- othy. Dorothy is Questioned "Miss Tredway has gone," , he said flatly. "She left a note, .but It means nothing." Dorothy drew a deep breath. "The whole thing Is a mystery, Totally unlike her in every way. Of course something happened after we left this morn- ing. I'm making it my business to find out what it was. Can yon tell rue anything?" Dorothy lifted innocently injur• ed eyes to his. "I'll do everything I can, of course, But I'm afraid it isn't much. You see, I spent most of the day in niy room. I had a lot of letters to write. I saw Miss Tredway at lunch for a few moments, I'm afraid that'd all." "0f course it isn't all!" said Mark. "Naturally, , I'm not ques- tioning what you say. But there's something back of it. Have you any idea where she went? Or at what time?" "I told you I didn't even know she was gone," said Dorothy. That, at least, was the truth, she thought virtuously. Valerie laid her head against Mark's arm, sobbing. He had shown her Lucy's little note. In all her life, nothing had ever hurt her so much. "It must be me*—I mean, I—" she said, I'd have done anything for her —father—" She broke down completely. Mark gave her a gentle shake, and spoke almost roughly. "Stop it, Val! Lucy will come back) You'll have to pull yourself to- gether!" "Your father is quite right," said Dorothy. It was probably bet- ter to take some part in it than to stand and say nothing. "There was nothing about the young wo- man, atter all, that is worth your making yourself ill over," Valerie raised her head. She wiped her eyes and faced her aunt. "Lucy is the most wonderful per- son in the world next to nfy fath- er! You could not possibly under- stand. I am going upstairs, father. I'll do whatever you want, If you say you'll find her, you will. So everything will be all right." She turned and ran out of the room. Dorothy gathered up her dignity. "I shall go to my room, too, if you'll excuse me," alis said. "I find I may have to leave quite su4• STOP BABY'S SNIFFLES Don't let baby suffer from head cold one unnecessary moment.

Made obvteus, small 'ex- cuses to linger in the room, Mark looked up at 111111 suddenly. Why hadn't lie thought of the man be- fore? Chiltern was at the doorway when Mark called. He came back and stood beside Mark's chair. "Yes, sir?" "I want you to forget yourself," Mark said surprisingly. "Yes. All about your station, or position, or whatever you call it.' Ilii • in a . devil of a mess, and I have a hunch you, could help me out," "Quito, sir," said Chiltern, ,"You.' mean- Miss Lucy, I suppose." "Of course I mean Miss Lucy. I leave the house this morning with everybody happy, and every- thing as usual. I come back at night and the place is disrupted, Miss Tredway has lett, and nobody can tell me why—". "She could hardly be expected to do anything else, sir—not after what happened this morning. Not her kind• of young lady," said Chil- tern. Mark jumped to his feet. "Now we are getting somewhere, What the devil did happen? That's just what I'm trying to find out." Mrs. Summerville went to Miss Lucy's rooms sir. I went to your rooms to look at that defective light as you told me. As I passed Miss Lucy's sitting room, I heard voices. I recognized Mrs. Summer• vine's. I could hardly help hear- ing what she said, Anybody could have. After that, I—I paused, tie_ you might say, until she finished. Until—well, until Miss Lucy show- ed her the door." • (To be • continued) JUMPER ENSEMBLE IS VIVACIOUS By Anne Adams Going places . this jolly jumper ensemble with its little Scotch bonnet to match!

British Babies Must Sacrifice Touching Highlight on Food Rationing Told by The Strat. ford Beacon -Herald Even the little babies of Britain share in wartime sacrifices, A touching highlight on food ration- ing in the Motherland is furnish- ed in an advertisement inserted in Old Country newspapers by the British Ministry of Food. The ad- vertisement calls upon the house- wives of the United Kingdom to, observe the instructions broadcast each morning—the "ICitchen Front Broadcast," as it is, significantly, called. There are many severe restric- tions under the rationing system, and :many suggestions for oven coming the effects of the lack of former foods. It will suffice, wo think, to quote only three extracts from the official advertisement, Read them: . "instead of orange juice, give baby swede or turnip juice, sweet- ened, of course, To do him the samo amount of good as orange juice, Baby needs three times the quantity of either of these vege• table juices. "Make stale bread into rusks or cut in cubes, bake it until golden brown, and use in the same way as breakfast cereal. "Rinse out milk hottlo3 with a little cold water; use the milky liquid in cooking, because every drop of milk is valuable and should not be wasted." Defying danger and death, he people of the British isles make the most of their rationed foods. Turnip juice for their battles , . . stale bread for cereals . . . milk. bottle rinsings for cooking.

Events Japan Makes Impossible Demands U. S. and Allies Prepare ,Defenses Ten years ago the United States protested Japanese aggression in Manchuria and ever since that time the Japanese have been en- gaged in driving the United States out of China, By slowly closing the "open door," the traditional basis of American policy in the Far East, Western economic in. terests in China were threatened, The United States has sought' many itmes to avoid trouble in the Pacific, Five years ago the United States Government urged Japan to consider the agreement by which the United States was bound not to extend fortifications in the Western Pacific in return for the maintenance of tin agreed- upon naval ratio, Japan rejected that proposal, Again, four years ago, when the present war between Japan and China started, friendly efforts on the part of the United States to help in effecting"a settlement wero rejected. "Incidents" involving Western economic interests grew more numerous but diplomatic protest and pressure proved of small avail. The-, RIft Widens On the part of the United States, says the New York Times, more vigorous steps began to he taken;. starting, in July, 1939, with the announcement that an existing trade treaty with Japan would be allowed to lapse. Greater aid be- gan to be given by the United States ,to the. embattled Chinese. Japan continued on her course, and her statesmen spoke in loud tones of the "greater East Asia" they were seeking,' an East Asia dom. inated by . Japan politically, ex- ploited by Japan economically. What might have been only a Pacific dispute was widened to world dimensions a year ago last - September when Japan signed n Bernie, the Axis Tripartite Pact that seemed to make the empire of the Rising Sun a partner in the Hitler scheme for carving' up the earth for the benefit of "have- not" nations, That fact has over- hung ever since every action of Japan. Always there has been the possibility that Japan might par. ticipato in a Hitler squeeze -play, might strike in East Asia as a means of involving the United States in the Pacific area , and lessening American aid to the Bri- tish and their allies across the Atlantic. Prizes of Conquest Tnero were, moreover, prizes in the Orient that the Nazis could dangle before the Japanese, The Netherlands Indies, rich in the raw materials for which industrial nations thirst, loomed to the south. 'Closer at hand was Indo- Chlna, virtually defenseless after the collapse of France, and into Indo• -China the Japanese did move, winning last August French agree- ment to control of the colony that had -been building painfully since the days of Napoleon -III. For almost every action theme has been a counteraction. Japan- ese control of Indo-China brought American and British economic. sanctions against their empire. That was a blow felt in Tokyo, for it. shut off Japan from sources of badly needed oil, tin, rubber, iron and copper. It raised for Japan the spectre of encirclement, econ- omic, perhaps military, Defense Preparations The military aspect assumed steadily graver importance, for the British were openly strengthening Singapore, The new 35,000 ton Prince of Wales steamed into this naval base last week at the head CAPABLE SCOT GIVEN HEAVY WARTIME JOB DONALD GORDON A six foot Highlander with a powerful personality and a knack of getting things done in the bewildering world of •finance has, just 'been appointed to the heavy responsibility of guiding his country through an economic sea completely unmarked on the charts of demo- cracy. His name is Donald Gordon, and at the age of 40 he has been called from his job as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada to the chairmanship of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. It will be his task to put a ceiling over prices, to -atop the' spiral of disastrous in- flation. Horatio Alger would have liked the story of -Donald Gordon's rise to his present position of vital importance. He arrived' here, a penniless Scottish immigrant, at the age of 13, At 15 he started out in the field of finance as a clerk In the Bank of Nova Scotia, At 19 he was a bank inspector, the youngest in Canada. At 29 he was assistant manager of the Bank of Canada's main office in Toronto and at 34 was first secretary of the Bank of Canada. At 37 he was the Bank of Canada's Deputy Governor. Now, at 40, he faces a job that will require every ounce of .training and financial ability he has acquired in the steep climb from immigrant boy to bank governor. He brings as a blessing to his new job the traditional solidness and sense of fair play of the Scot. Ile is a realist in a job where wild theories and a tendency to dabble with haphazard experiments might be disastrous. He makes no effort to gloss over the grief involved in the thing he is attempting. He believes it is unavoidable as the grief Canada's fighting men must bear in serving their country on the sea, the land and in the air. But he is also convinced that itis a means of heading off a worse grief and to this end he has turned the energies which have already made him an outstanding figure on Canada's economic scene. • Summed up, Donald Gordon is proof that democracy can summon to its service the highest in brains and devotion; and proof also that fanaticism and cloistered bureaucracy are not necessary in a country which still believes in freedom and the potency of free enterprise. Perhaps it' is not without significance that•this huge Highlander is first and last a human being, full of sympathy and understanding; one who can take his hair down among 'friends of an evening and sing and play Scotland's songs on an old accordeon — one who under- stands Chesterton's phrase about "laughter's gigantic inspiration." IT ALL DEPENDS ON ME! If we each and all of us think this, and each and nil of us do our utmost, our very utmost, on whatever work we are on, and do It with determination and cheerfulness, then WE SHALL WIN THIS WAR of a flotilla of advance units of the Royal Navv's newly created Eastern fleet. The Dutch in their Indies were girding against pos- sible attack, aided like the British and the Chinese by the increasing flow of American•mado warplanes, munitions and other material, The United States was also making stronger its position in the Philip- pines. Giant bombers were report- ed to have been flown there, bomb - ere able to take off, bomb Japan- ese cities, fly on to Vladivostok, refuel and fly back to repeat the bombing process, The United States marines were ordered out of China, so as to leave no hos- tages, if war comes. Great Britain has augmented her garrison at Hong Kong and has mined the ap- proaches to Malaya and Burma, Conflicting Views The American attitude. could be summed up apparently as follows: (1? Japan must expand no farther south; (2). she must cease active co-operation with Germany; (3) she must not seek to acquire and maintain any special position in China. Japan, on the other hand, ap- peared to be insisting: (1) Ameri- can economic sanctions must be lifted; (2) Japan has a special position in East Asia and must be expected to expand farther to the south, possibly into Thailand, pos- sibly into the Netherlands Indies; (3) Japanese hegemony in China must be accepted in fact China Will Get Help There have been recent Mien - tions that Washington is prepared to be generous in the lifting of sanctions if Toyyo dissolves its partnership with Hitler and Mus- solini and abandons its policy of aggression, On one issue the United States and Great Britain remain firm, T'aey will not. aban- don China to the tender mercies of a ruthless invader by withhold- ing further aid to that country which has given them invaluable aid by holding Japan at bay while the Allies strengthened their posi- tion in the Pacific, The United States cannot end its military and economic aid to China because America is now fighting against the world-wide pattern of aggres- sion which endangers the United States itself, Japanese Advantages - As against the Allies' prepara tion for defense the Japanese have certain advantages. They are seasoned in war and the United States is not. They are in desper- ate need of the loot of expansion; their dominant war party is sworn to yield no "face" in the Far East and a Far Eastern war would be fought in the home and neighbor- ing areas of Japan. Tho Japanese Navy is rated very high, the army only fair and the air services only poor to fair, owing chiefly to in- ferior equipment, It is reported that German agents are trying to work upon the morale of the Chinese Government in Chungking with promises of a rea- sonable settlement of China's war with Japan, but it is reasonable to believe that such a move is foredoomed to failure, Japan On Wrong Road Japan rides the dangerous road of conquest, ruthlessness and faith- lessness as a nation. It is a path- way which has destroyed countless other ambitious powers. Japan has tried to put Hitler's tactics into practice in the Pacific. Its troops have killed, burned and pillaged. Unless the practices of the sword are put aside Japan, which might have been a force for progressive - nese In the Far East, will make the fatal error of trying American and British patience too far.

Drummond recently before Bank of Montreal shareholders in his presidential address, in which he emphasized in plain language the immensity of the task facing Canada and the Empire in bringing the present strpggle to a successful conclusion. Pointing out that the war is costing Canada some two hundred million dollars a month, • Mr. Drummond dwelt at length on the ways and means by which the money was being raised, In discussing the tax situation, the president gave graphic illus- tration of its tremendous propor- tions when he said, "Your bank pays in ALL taxes as much as it does in dividends. In other words, for the first six months of the year we work for Governments, the last six for ourselves." Government Controls While recognizing the need for Government controls and regula- tions in time of war, the president emphasized the vital importance of removing these restrictions after the war with all possible aped. "Nothing", he said, "can stifle individual effort more effectively than excessive regulation and high taxation, and no one can under- take new ventures unless permit- ted to retain the profit which arises from successful effort." General Managers' Report Shows Assets Over Billion Mark Jackson Dodds, O.B.E., report- ing on behalf of himself and his Mow general manager, G. W. Spinney, presented a financial statement which revealed opera- tions of the bank at the highest levels in its long history, reflect- ing the record activity of industry and commerce arising from the war. Profits for the year, after the deduction of Dominion Govern- ment taxes of $2,243,000 were reported at $3,437,000 as com- pared with $3,436,000 in 1940. Total assets amounted to $1,- 046,000,000 compared with $961,- 500,000 a year ago. Commercial loans in Canada were reported at $253,500,000, an increase of $36,- 000,000, Liquid assets at $706, - Saving Ontario's Natural Resources G. C. Toner (Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters" No. 67 DEER 1N ARIZONA In northern Arizona there is an area, more or less isolated by mountains and rivers, known as the Kaibab Plateau, In Indian days it was famous as a hunting ground and until a few years ago it supported great numbers of deer. It also was the range of a number of cattle ranches and much domestic stock roamed over it. The cattlemen were bothered by mountain lions, wolves and bears killing off their stock so they started a campaign, aided by the Government, to eliminate these predatory animals. The control of the predators was very successful, It was re- portedshortly after the end of the campaign that only one or two mountain lions were left on the whole plateau, For a time the cattle were left alone and the deer herd increased. This in- crease did not stop within a rea- sonable period, it went right on even when the deer became so abundant, despite hunting, that the plant food became insuffici- ent. Deer browse, and as they increased they browsed on the bark and even the wood of all the trees. Finally starvation hit the herd and dead deer were found everywhere, they had eaten them- selves out of the country. The enttlnten found that killing the predators was a costly method of control. Formerly they had lost a few cattle annually, now they lost them all in a bunch. Of late years, the vegetation has come back, the deer have incrcas- WELL THEN, GIVE ME YOUR SKATE KEY CAUSE I LOST MINE H-9 By 000,000 were equal to 72,78 per cent, of public liabilities.

Warns Against Specious Monetary Reforms in Solution of Post -War Problems Commenting on the operations of the bank since the outbreak of war, Mr. Dodds told shareholders that the most conspicuous feature was the provision of additional credit. While recognizing the impor- tance of making credit. available, those administering the affairs of the bank were, he said, bound to attach even greater importance to more fundamental banking func- tions; "It is our business, first of all, always to make sure that we keep faith with our note -holders and depositors," said Mr, Dodds. "The plain fact is that our very ability, to provide credit rests directly upon the knowledge of every one of our depositors that a deposit in this bank is as good as cash in his pocket," The general manager said it was well to recall such elementary facts at this time, when the banks are faced with unusually heavy responsibilities, and when there are already signs that the more specious brands of so-called mone- tary reform are being ,relabelled with a view to the time when they will be advertised as remedies for Canada's post-war problems. "It will beclear from what has been said," he observed, "that people who formulate theories concern- ing the use of bank credit but who ignore the underlying fact that banks have to pay cash to their depositors when they ask for it,'. are simply building castles in the air upon non-existent founda- tions." ed somewhat and I am told the cattlemen have learned 'their les- son. Lions, bears and wolves are actually protected so that the deer herd will have enough enemies to prevent too great a population. The Book Shelf MUNICH PLAYGROUND by Ernest R. Pope Much has been written, partic- ularly by war correspondents, of Germany's political life, of Nazi- ism's domestic and foreign policy and of the machinery of war. Mr. Pope, however, chooses to deal in great detail with the leisure hours of the New Order leaders in Mun- ich, a gay and carefree city in contrast to the grins war -dominat- ed city of Berlin. It is not a pretty picture, though a revealing one. It tears to pieces the myth of Hitler's asceticism and lays bare the pagan sordiness of his followers. Mr. Pope, though Meandering - much along the byways of Ger- many's social life, travels extens- ively the broad highway of pol- itical intrigue.
