The Church today is a "bedragglcd. ilcfeatcd force beating a retreat," the Rev. Dr. Rich- ard Roberts, a member of the faculty of tlte Pinc Hill Divinity School in Halifax, N. S., said as guest preacher in the Collegiate Church of 5t. Nicholas, New York. "\Ve can’t boast of the

Mussolini was once a Socialist; Hitler was once a social failure. For quite different reasons both have boasted of what they and their regimes have done for the welfare of the masses. But. as soon as war comes the Socialism 1s forgotten and Nat-lottalism 1s revealed naked and unadorncd. The transitory benefits are forgotten; the liners of Strength t-ltmuiglt Joy carry Ger- man troops to their death 1n the Katlegat; the factory built. to produce people's car burns out, tanks. Both ships and factories had been built with those t-aslcs ln vlelw. All the safeguarding labor legisla- tion of a civilized nation ls scrap- ped and men and women are shift,- ccl from factory to factory, from fortress to fortress. like Clllfllfl- gaitgs. So much for the Socialism ln Germany, made possble only by the multiplication of little party tyrants, three millions olf t-helm, whose determination to cling to their ill-gotten power and comfort is the ciltlof motive of their loyalty to Hitler.

WHAT has JAPANS AIMS THE PACIFIC?

Sir:— Whilst the cortflagration 1s in prorgess 1n Europe, we heair just a. slight rustle of Japanese silk in the Pacific: smooth soft, and practically noiseless. Though still occupied 1n China, more it would seem consolidating and pro- tecting her gains t-here than for any other reason, Millst. she la looking. where? Would she be in- terested tn some of those islands to the south which have been a source of great; revenue to coun- tries temporarily obliterated by the totalitarian nations? ‘Phat is some- thing the democratic nations will have to guard against, although tihey are no douibt, on the close lookout for any move from any source which could be interpreted

Japan who made such it hurried trip there some time ago. Ines no doubt been working overtime .to point. out to Japan what. she may gain at tihls time whilst Europe is ln the throes of a major conflict. However, Japan is noted for mak- 111g tip her own mind, no cohesion on Germany's part (to suit: them- selves only) would be of any u.- vail. “linen Japan ciecldestomake a. move, in any direction, it will be definitely to sult herself from an angle where her own interests would be best; served. Germany and Japan are two nations of commer- clal competitive natures such as would not; permit. too close an al- liance of any depth as Japan could certainly never trust; Gennany 1n any sense of the word. They ma/y cooperate to a certain exten ; tl-iat wculd only be to the extent of the futherance of Japan's own aims- wltere she wouid guardedly be watching every step and Germany closer than ever.

The Indo- China affair is more of a foeler on Japan's part; sub- tlety itself: more to se-o what. the effect would be and what. results lt. would bring. What her fixture ln- tcn-tlons are 1n tilte Pacific, will never be told outside the war cab- inet. ‘Ilhat. silent, subtle, quick- thlrtklnlz nation, does rtotlntend to 11c dormant; neither do they in- tend to be caught napping.
