“This England”

(Winnipeg Free Prul)

The following article appeared In the New York Times on July 24. following the Hitler "peace of- fer" and the reply of Lord Halifax. It is even more timely at this mo- ment when the opening waves of blitzkrieg are beating on the de- fences of Britain:

It is twelve o'clock In London. Hitler has spoken and Lord Hall- fax has replied. There ls no more to be said. Or 1s there? Is the ton- gue of Chaucer. of Shakespeare, of Milton, of the King James trans- lation of the SCIlPIIIIBS. 0f Keats. of Shelley, to be hereafter, tn the British Isles, the dialect of an en- slaved race?

Let us try to see clearly. We tiave to took back a 800d many centuries to find the beginnings of English liberty. We see ft as a rough and obstinate growth, heaving the rich soil under the oaks of Iordly estates, breaking out in Wat 'I‘yl_er's time and tn Cromwell‘: and m the day of the second James. forcing through the Reform Acts, never giving up. We see the spread of democracy and of empire. side by side. Confused and turbulent. But we see demo- cracy ever marchtrig ‘on.

. .

It 1s twelve o'clock In London Not twelve o'clock for empire any more. Not twelve o'clock for the old "dominion over palm and pIne." Twelve o'clock for the common people of England, out of whom England's greatest. souls have al- ways come, twelve o'clock for all that they are and have been for all those things which make life worth living for free men.

‘Twelve o'clock -and the wisest

In (‘anada we do not give much thought to the future o.’ the coun- try ln case Britain should not win the war. Our job ls to do what we can to see that Hitler does not win and when the war 1S over and victory achieved we shall ltave ample time to tzive thought to fut- ure developments. In the United States the people are giving more consideration to the future, not that. they are \'0l'_\' greatly con- cerned about the dcsltny of Canada, but because they are mindful of the fate of Utiized states. In the United States many serious mind- ed observers are convinced that whatever may be the outcome of the conflict, a closer association of the Anglo-Saxon democracies ls Inevitable. There is gocd reason to believe that a majority of Ameri- cans. Canadians and Britisheris in the other Dominions would approve of such an association. if ii could

be made, and would vote for it at this moment if they had the op- portunity. When Prmin with- stands the German ..ck. ns we expect it will. we shai ltave a very falr Idea in a few weeks about the tiltimatc otttcoctie o.’ the strutgltr. Unless we are to abandon tho fut- ure to the dictators there must be a much clcscr alliance among the democracies that retitain .. We have also learned. and even Ameri- cans now admit It. that isolation is Impossible.

Quite suddenly, without warning, something or other caus- es him to go berserk, and he will Iiteratl tum on the hand that feeds Iiitm. Always beware of the bull. — st. Thomas Ttmes- Jour- na.

The glory won by our Army ls shared In full measure by the Navy and the Royal Air Force. Never forget their sacrifice. Read again, and remember always, the story of the bridge over the Meuse near Maastriche. Eight attacks were made by our bombers. _vel. this one britttze still gave a cross- ing for Gemizm columns. The com- manding officer at squadron hcatl- quarters called for volunteers. Every pilot stepped forward. Thev took a ballot on strips of paper drawn frcm a hat. Four crews were chosen, and went off ivithout waiting. One man came back. But the bridge was blown up. It ls obvious what happened, The crews crashed their loads and their planes, their bombs and their bod- les, down on the tin-get. We do not know the name of the one mint who survived. But the first V C. of the war should be given to tum In recognition of his act. and In honor of his comrades. — Liondoti Dally Express.

And. inspired by a second cup of coffee and some toast and marmalade, I went on to describe the design of the hotel lobby as boudolr- Baby- lonian and a perfect setting for a civilization which was suffering from dropsy.

The unknown man listened po- lttetv, sipping hls coffee. When I was quite finished and exhausted he sald very quietly: "I'm very glad to get yotliyecvtew of the hotel.
