For one thing, no relief or any suggestion of it. No cutting down of taxes but, very probably. 31¢ 6°11" trary. One of the big principles to be decided, the budget experts say, is the respective re- Iatioii of taxation and borrdiving. The approach to “pay as you go" is conceded to be financial policy of the soundest type but numerous repre- sentations are being made to the Finance Min- ister that the present structure of taxation is adequately high. Without reducing it, the sug- gestion is to have more recourse to borrowing. In this latter connection, there are signs of the established policy of war finance. They will be all set for another “go" in the early Autumn.

As we face up to the rationing situations we must. steel ourselves against luxuries, mere convenienc- es, comforts and what in easier time; are necessities. We slumber- ed and took our ease when we should have been watching tlhe malicious conduct sf folk who were menacing our exlsbence. We had gone on the pslicy of "We should be all nice boys and girls." Our enemies were iepariri-g to o on the principle o grab and kic and bite and gouge. We must get steel into our minds and into our hands.

The trend of modern life has been to shatter us into lonely frag- ments, and now tlie War has revers- ed the trend. Urirler normal cir- cumstances each man has been interested in his salary or his prof- it. and the slight bends that have linked film to our sccieiy lilvg been chiefly those with others with the some motive. Outside his oom- pany or office, possibly iri older communities, his neignboilioozl, the world has ended and he has been a stranger \l\’lll\ the only link the impersonal one c-f the newspaper or the rniiio, Now tie must. feel with a sense of welceme participa- tion that, he ts a part of acme- thizik bigger, part of a tremendous common effort. This is the cement that welds our society tcgetiier, and it will be no less essential in the critical post-War adjustment, after victory and peace have come than it is today in the midst of the most tar-reaching conflict the world has ever seen. - Marquis W. Chllds in Atlantic Monthly.

It has been said that Napoleon was the supreme dupe of his age; he was blind to the strength of England; and "ivhat he beheld was a. mirage conjured up by his bound- less egohism." Hitler is far more culpable, for he knew the truth and turned his back upon it. Scene five year ago, in conversation with a British officer in Berlin Hitler said that. lie could never for- give the Kaiser for tfhe great blunder he made in underrating the British Empire. Four years later he conjured up a vision of his own in whzch Britain was de- cadent, the air governed the sea submarines ruled the deeps, and islandsno longer existed. We have been wisely warned that it will cost us blood and tears and sweat and toll to prove him wrong. The crst to the German people beggars the imagination. Wiiti all his glittering success, Hitler has committed blunders which will surely germin- ate disaster. Of a csriainty lie wlll be proved the supreme dupe of his age; and it may lze said of him, as Simon Woi-ozoff said to Napoleon: "With all the qualities of a real seoundrel which he possessed to perfection. he will end badly for ack of common sense.” - Nine- teenth Century Reviews.

Channel Islands

(Hamilton Spectator)

In it recent issue of the Specta- tor appeared an article, reproduced from an English newspaper, de- scribing condition 1n the channel Islands under German occupatiin. One got the impression that, though life there had become much less delightful than it used to be, it is still at least tolerable, in spite of inevitable deprivations. The Nazis having seized the islands, at first attempted to Germnnfze them. Babies were registered as of Ger- man nationality; teachers were commanded to give instruction in the German language ln the schools; German marks were sub- stituted for local currency, But, in practice. it was found impossible to carry out orders. Few were familiar with the German speech, progress in its acquisition was very slow with unwilling teachers and un- willing pupils. some of the earlier regulations, therefore, became dead issues, arid Interference grew less.
