How Juniors Can Help

The current issue of The Canadian Red Cross Junior contains an open letter addressed l0 fill members, from the National DIICCIOT. M155 Jean E. Browne. 1t deals with the question, how Canadian juniors can best help their coun- try and the Empire in time of war. Three sug- gestions are offered, and they embody such ex- cellent advice that no apology 1s needed fol’ quoting thetn here: _

“How can you help? First of all, by being mo“: vigilant than ever to keep yourselves and others in good ltcztlth. A sick person 1s of very little use to his country, either now or 1n the years to come. - _

“In the second place, you can devise wnvs and means of earning a11d saving money to give i0 the Soldiers’ Fund of tl1e Red Cross. Perhaps you might consider denying yourselves candy during the war, and use the money you usually Ipend on it to help get comforts for the men who are fighting our battles.

“In the third place, do not give up your pro- gramme of Intcrttntiortal Friendliness. The world needs friendliness and love as never before. Do not hate our enemies- Hatred is vicious, and neveraccomplishes anything but harm. If, for Instance, there are children of German parent- age in your school do not treat them badly. They had nothing to do with this war, and if you are unkind to them, you are guilty of injustice. Let us put forth every effort to help out sol- iers, and let us not show hatred in any form.”

Poland's Treasure House

An exchange recalls that with foresight born of a tragic history of conflict and disaster, Po- lish patriots leased in r870, and for 99 years, the Swiss chateau of Rapperswil as a repository for their country's national treasures. This fourteen-century castle in Switzerland is located on the beautiful lake of Zurich. Here, as the Switzerland official Information Bureau in New York relates, during the troubled years, were stored records of Poland's achievements it! history, literature, science and art; also sculp- tures, xvar trophies, coins and medals, seals and stamps, peasant garments and national cos- tumes of the nobles, jewelry and silver plate, prehistoric finds, a library of 92,000 volumes and 27.000 manuscripts, and so on.

In the chateau reposed since r887 the heart of Kosciusko, Poland's patriot and national hero, who, in his day, also defended Warsaw against Prussian and Russian forces, but un- successfully. When, after Poland's last period of independence began, this valued collection was moved back to Warsaw, military honors were given the urn containing Kosciuskds heart.

Now, in the physical sense, Poland has been crushed again. It is not known yet whether these national treasures were taken again to sanctuary in the Chateau of Rapperswil, but as three years ago the castle was established as a museum, “Po- land of Today," it is likely that when danger threatened the original collection was carried back to safety. In any event the centuries-old chateau in Switzerland will be as a shrine in- spiring the presently shattered Polish people to renew once more their existence as a nation.

Whiskers And Masks

i Q fn addition to a gaa mask for every person in the Old Country, there has been developed all varieties of means of protection, including gas masks for babies, and for animals. However, it seems that the designers overlooked the diffi- culty of the man with the beard. A Cornwall woman writes to the London Time: on the sub- iect. She savs:

"May r put forward s Ingestion for the oom- fort of those bearded men who do not wish tn lose this desirable adornment?

"Four curling pins may be bought at the stones and the beard tightly rolled up in these and tuck- ed under the chin. The gas mask la then drawn over the face, beard and all, and is perfectly sir- tight.

"Thlsdiaoovivhaabeentln mound)!!- oervlng my husband's magnificent beard and I submit it. to you in the hope that lt may save others."

Urges Arms Embargo Repeal

Apart from political considerations prompting resistance to the Roosevelt policy, the upholders of the Neutrality Act as it stands appear to be lnitnated by the fear that a revision might lead to the entry of the Unitetl States into the war. The contrary, however, is no less strongly claim- ed by the supporters of the Administration On that issue. in an article, "We are not Neutral," the authoritative [Magazine of Wall Street says:

“The present so-callcd Neutrality Act will not of itself keep us out of direct involvement in war. Revision of the law, as asked by the Pre- sident and fawn-d by the majority public opin- ion, will not of itself draw us into war, In the final zmnlysis we will go into the war if and when our vital interests are threatened. Other- wise not. Whether our vital interests will‘ or will nut be threatened at some later stage of this war is entirely vniprcdictable and will not be deter- mined by iha- kind of law that Senator liorah wants or the kind that Mr. Roosevelt wants.

"\\'hai arc o11r vital interests? To cite one of nr two of the most obvious. the survival of the British navy is .1 vital interest to us and even more so is ntaitltenatrce of the status qua in our

“Meanwhile we engage in a bitter debate on ‘neutrality’ although, in the strict sense of the term, we are not neutral. We are not neutral 1n sentiment, for we favour victory for the Allies. we are not neutral in fact, for the present law permits the British and French to buy most of the materials essential to the prosecution of war, while circumstances prevent such materials g0- ing to Germany. .

"The distinctions made by SenatorBorah and other isolationist; are unreal. To nations at war gasoline needed for air force is-contraband pre- cisely as are airplanes- American steel from which a British gun is made cannot be regarded as distinct from the gun. In‘practical fact the copper used in shell casing and cotton and chemicals from which explosives are made are munitions of \var. If we barred from export every product and material which the British have already listed as contraband, subject to seizure, we would have, not a war boom, but a depression.

“In this publication's opinion, the soundest course would be to repeal the arms embargo and put all trade with nations at war on the ‘come and get it’ basis. This would most closely con- form with established principles of international law to which we formerly subscribed. By hap- penstance not of our making, it would best serve the interests of Great Britain and France."

Regret will be felt here at the sudden. early death at 46, of Mr. C. B. Andrews, assistant general passenger agent of the C. P. R. at Tor- onto. For a number of years he was district agent at Saint John, N. B., when he visited here regularly twice a year. Mr. Andrews brought to his duties, which meant close con- tact with the traveling public, a charm of man- ner that was an asset in his success; a valued addition to his ability in the executive positions he capably filled. He made friends in all parts of the territory embraced in the work of his office- a a a a

Lieut-Col Wilfrid Covey, President of the Canadian Association for Adult Education told a Winnipeg audience that the first month of the war had shown that the strategy of the Ger- mans began with attacks on civilians. “They will direct their sabotage not only against our bridges and power plants but against o11r women and children," he declnred- He reminded his listeners that the distance from the nearest German fly- ing fields to possible bases in Hudson Bay with- in easy flight of western Canada, was no greater than the distance from Southampton to Mon- treal. “There is no reason at all to think that civilians in Canada will go unscathed," he said. "There is some reason for thinking they will not."

Only a few weeks ago the lmropean representative of a great Arnerlcnn industrial concern visit- ed Germany and discussed the situation with some of the highest Nazi leaders. He asked them what their conception was of the future. The answer which formed Itself from the conversation after din- ner is as startling as it. is llluml- natlng. The objective. the Ger- mans said. "was not so much to fight the democracies as to become more important than they are by the absorption. connuest or domi- nation of certain European terri- tories, which would give Germany a position of paramount import- anoe in Eitropean affairs" The American visitor asked how they visualized their eventual relation- ship with Great Britain. The reply was: "We belleve we shall become so great and the Nazi power so forceful, that Great Britain wlll have to succumb to it], and ln due course accept our advice as to the best means of organizing and de- veloplng their Empire. We shall, in fact. become the sole spiritual influence over British affairs, for our successes will gradually par- alyze and fascinate even the Brit;- lsh people to such an extent that we shall be at least their spiritual masters. even if conquest of their territories ls lmposslble.“—- Private English Letter.

In 1914 Lord Haldane-the great statesman - lawyer who forged our Expeditionary Force, the 1m- mortul Conbemptlbles. and who ac- cording to Lord Halg did more than any other single mart to ensure victory — was ostracisecl because he ‘had spoken of Germany as hls "spiritual home." That remains a black disgrace on the memories of those who incited such action. But there one today certain pseudo- lntlellectuals who assiduously propa- Bribe the theory that we must not confuse the German people with their rulers. This. of course, is a complete rejection of the ancient wisdom which tells us that every nation gets the government lt. de- servts. And against. the high-brow apologists may be cited both Julius Caesar and Tacitus, who after all were contemporary witnesses, and not: mere theories. Caesar tells us that the Germans glorled in having the widest, possible belt of howling wilderness along their frontiers as showing how many neighboring states had been unable to resist. their might. Tacitus records that. as a nation they dls- llload pence, amd thought. it dull and tutenterprlstng to acquire by honest sweat. what. could be obtained by bloodshed.

HAWAS

Sin-In a recent issue of our press we noticed where a. hawk car- ried off a duck, after being shot. by a gunner.

Some people unthlnkhtgly might. come to the conclusion that; that hawk was dong harm and should be shot. on sight. and would not. be as considerate as Mr. Doyle, but would have shot tt at. once.

Just t0 enlarge an the subject a little. It. was stated it. was a fine blrd. We wonder how that was known. We also wonder which had the better right to 1t, the gunner who dld not need it for food or the hawk which did need it. for food to give hlm strength to enable hlm shortly to take his long journey south through hostile lands where at. only a very few places on the road wlll he be able to find sanctu- ary and rest ln security.

Also let. us note that it. was the subject. which did not need it. that killed lt and that it was a real necessity to the hawk which did need it, and at. the same time ii; was fulfilling the very necemary service the Creator placed the predators here for not only for sake of scavenge as in this case but. to weed out the halt, the lame. the bllnd, the weak, and sickly leaving the vlrlle and strong to continue the race.

The account also aaya it was a lar8€ hawk. Most. of our hawks resident here are rec as among our most beneficial birds and should be strictly protected unless when actually doing harm.

Always a resident. here I um very sorry to see them growing acarcer year by year.

In travelling several thousands of miles during the last. summer al- ways with an eye open for a sight of our feathered friends I observed onl two marsh or mouse hawks an two young ones , erroneously called "eagles” at the Charlotte- town Exhibit-Ion. I thought. they would look for nicer ooursln over our meadows huntlnn for mce or insects than penned up ln a small coop. I heard one gentlansn ex- claim us he looked at them, "What a. shame" to pen a wild creature up like that.

An effort is being made at the present time chiefly through the medium of our schools to educate o11r people to the true value of our beneficial hawks and owls as well as other predators so necessary to our economic life and we are glad that some of our hunters are qen-
