“I tiirtiiiiztiit that these principles 0f our com- monwcaltli are not of limited application. They are inseparable from the kind of world for which we are fighting, the kind of world we hope to sec."

Truths like this, continues the Gazette, need telling on this Continent. T00 long has it been fashionable, in Canada as well as in the United States, to sticcr at the British Commonwealth. Leaving out of account the bitter handful who hate Britain and all she stands for, evcu t0 the point of preferring Iiascist tyranny, there are still many Canadians who value too lightly this "voluntarv union,” who have regarded the weakening of its ties as progress.

All of us, and most of alltliese nay-sayers, want a postwar world in which nationalism will give place to intcriiatioualism, prejudice to good- will, schism to brotherhood. What better fir! step could we make, toward that universally de- sired end, than to strengthen and take pride in the only association of free nations the world has ever seen?

moratorium measure authorizes any judge who is satisfied that a defendant's inability to pay is the result of his being in the armed services, to stay all collection or eviction proceedings by the exercise of his judicial discretion.

The background for this legislation was the Convention Hall at Winnipeg, whcrc the follow- ing policy resolution was unanimously adopt- ed, on the motion of Colonel (icorge Drew who had drafted it:

“The Government should give those 0n active service effective legal protection against evic- tion, foreclosure of mortgages, seizure of pro- perty for tax arrears, forfeiture of instalment contracts, cancellation of lifc insurance policies up to $10,000, judgments 0r other legal proceed iugs for debts incurred before entering military service, and other embarrassing financial obli- gations."

The Dominion had a deficit which might well reach 3 billions. All the provinces had surpluses. \Vl1v should they not act to aid the old age pensioners? “Several of the provinces are already doing their duty, and I think we may hope the time will come when all will do so," said the Minister. He could not sec why surplus-rich provinces should not tindertalte to look after the old people's needs instead of “cal!- ing on us, with our huge deficit of three bil- lions a ycar”—he had budgeted for a deficit of 2 3-4 billi0ns——to assume the responsibilities.

* I U I Algernon Charles Swinburne, English poet. born this date I837; his first volume, “Songs Before Sunrise", was written in his teens, un- der the influence of his mother; at Oxford he won the friendship of Dange Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris and Edward Burns-Jones all of whom had a great influence in developing his genius; his masterpiece “Atalanta in Calydou", he dedicated to Walter Savage Lauder whom he visited in Italy; while his poetry will never be popular in the sense 'l'enn_vison's and Browuii1g’s have been, yet his greatness as a poet has been recognized far more widely both iii England and on the continent than either of them; thc best study upon Swinlitirne and his poetry is an essay by Sir William Robertson Xicoll which appeared in the Coutcmporziry Rcvicw in lune 1909: “The last was Fear, that is akin to Ilcath; He is Shames friend, and always as Shame saith Fear answers him again.” I l I I

The attack was switched to the 10w Countries and France. Brit- ish bombers, by steady bombing, did everythnlg they could to stem the advances. Bombers and fighters held the enemy off for the evacu- ation at Dunkirk.

AIR. RAID ALERT

Sup-What did we learn by yes- terday's alert?

Wardens had no notice of the impending practice. Children re- leased from schools assembled 1n huiidieds to see incendiary bombs set. off. Cars Instead of stopping increased their speed. The centre

the City was crowded with pedestrians. Some banks carried on business as usual, Wlllle others closed up and refused to reopen when the alarm was over as It was then 3.05 pm.

Our citizens will certainly have to become better acquainted with iiir raid regulations if a cat115- trophy is to be averted should a rea raid occur.

Now that the trapping season is over it is advisable to ship me at once any late caught furs you have nn hand. A week should be sufficient time to dry them properly. We all want to respect our game laws. I wish to thank you for the many shipments you have sent to me in the past and until next November I say “thank you” again.
