That millions of young minds are today being perverted by such methods is a har- rowing thought. Worst still is the pro- spect of world civilization being taken over by the fanatics produced under this sys- tem. Can we doubt but that our own fu-

Mr. Churchill's vicdiry .

vYhijQ there will be general satisfaction at the personal triumph achieved by Mr. Jhurchill in the British election. the slim niajority by which his party has been re-. turned is a inaltcr of serious concern. Mr.; Churchill's hand at the helm proved the salvation of the ship of state in time of war, not for Britain only but for all free- riom-loving nations. llis great figure over-3 shadows all his contemporaries. and hisf masterly campaign shows that he has losti none of his genius for leadership. But in wartime he had zi united parliament as- well as people hcliintl him. The situation is unfortunately quite different today.

Government by a combination of iiidivi- dualist Conservatives and Liberals is diffi- cult to achieve at any time, much more so than by a socialist regime. The combin- ation provcd strong enough to upset the trade unionists and socialists at the polls on Thursday. but not to the extent that many people had expected. Inthe troublous times ahead. what is needed in the United: Kingdom, as in other countries, is the strength that comes from unity. It is to be hoped that in matters of major con- cern. where divisioii would be fatal, pub- lic spirit will triumph over party interests and enable Britain to speak and act, as of old. with firmness and consistency. That is the new task to which Mr. Churchill will devote himself. and in which he Will have the heartfelt prayers as well as iZ00d wishes of many millions of his fellow sub- jects throutzlinut the Empire.

Normalcy

Getting back to normal is regarded by! many as simply a delusion. What. ask the; cynics. is normal? Is it prosperity or de-. pression. peace or war. favorable or un- favorable trade balances, high prices and, wages or low. production for defence or; artificial restriction of production? t

It is clear that ”normal", like otherl concepts, cannot he properly related to. any particular period although for convenience! we adopt an arbitrary period for establish-I ing such scales as the cost of living index: or zero on the Farenlicit thermometer. It, does not follow. however, that there is no' such. thing as normal.

It is essentially the perfect: balance .of forces and although it can never be attain- ed, it is the constant aim of society. When the pendulum is on one side it swings back, not to the perpendicular but to the op- posite extreme. Then the cnthusiasts who were manfully pushing in one direction must reverse themselves or go on blindly away from their desired objective.

The most illuminating experience recorded is that of Chi Sze-chen. an ordinary sort of student in Tsinghua University outside Peiping. who took Coni- munist talk about ”dr3moc,ratic grnllll dis” cussions” too literally. Chi was transferred to the nearby North China Peopiels Rev- olutionary University to have his brain "washed" of imperialistic ideas.

For nine months Chi "studied" under the eye of party workers. Actually, it was Chi who was under study. Only when the Communists were convinced that he had washed away the last traces of his old thinking were they ready to "graduate" him-into a job as a party man "3 ff" northwest China. Significantly, Chi in- sists, he had nothing to say about this ed- ucation; he was ordered to the university, where the only alternative to graduation was transfer to a primitive labor "school '.

There are .still some Mosleyites left in England. About 50 of them turned up at a political rally of Prime Minister Attlee, and broke up the meeting by their heckling and booing.

Theodore Roosevelt, American president, was born this date 1858. At 23 he was member of the New York State Legislature.l As Secretary of the.Navy, he did much to put the navy in a state of preparedness for the war with Spain and when it came he raised his famous regiment of Rough Ri- ders. As President he paved the way for the Panama Canal scheme and helped end the Russo-Japanese war. For the latter he received the Nobel peace prize in 1906. He was a voluminous writer.

There is no reason why all our citizens cannot observe the Provincial public holi- day to be proclaimed for November 9th. It is the practice for Federal as well as Prov- incial offices to be closed on such occas- ions; and in the case of banks, a 1934 en- actment provides that in all matters re- lating to bills of exchange any day ap- pointed by proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor for a public holiday is 8 legal holiday or non-juridical day.

About the first public engagement after Thursday's British election by a leading politician will be 'that of the Right Honour- able Anthony Eden, M.C., M.P., who is to be guest of honour at a Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce luncheon on November 28 at the Dorchester Hotel, London.

A closer approach to unanimity is achieved by the Daily Tele- graph. the News Chronicle and the Daily Express. who write him down as Mbssadeq, Mossadiq and Mossadeg. Adding to the confu- sion of the earnest student. is the fact. that on this continent a sixth man. Mr. Mossadegh, is spoken of as Iran's premier.
