Unconditional Terms

What everybody wanted to know was the Allies’ idea of what “Unconditional Surrender" implied, and the Big Three, in conference in the Crimea, have put on paper what they un- animously decree shall cover the term. Here it is for future record and reference:

r. “Disarm and disband all German armed forces." '

2. “Break up for all time the Ge eral staff.”

3. “Remove or destroy all German military squipment.” ’

4. “Elfinate or control” all German in- dustry‘ usable for military production.

5. Impose “just and swift punishment" for all war criminals.

6. Exact “reparation in kind for German destruction. A commission will be established in Moscmv to decide what Germany should pay in goods and labor. '

' 7. Wipe out the Nazi party and "all Nazi and militsrist influences."

Messrs. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin added a catch-all clause, deciding to “take in harmony such other measures in Germany as may be necessary to the future peace and safety of the world."

While they said they wouldn't publish un- conditional surrender terms until Germany is “finally defeated,” they planned machinery to guard the enemy when he is crushed:

r, Separate occupation zones, one for each of the Big Three nations and a fourth offered France.

2. A central control commission in Berlin to lay down joint policy. Members will be Britain, Russia, the United States and France, if as expected, she accepts.

Germans were given hope “for a decent life" and a place "in the colnity of nations." "but only when Nazism and militarism have been extirpated."

In the words of the Big Three, “Nazi Ger- many is doomed."

A B. c. White Elephant

Premier Hart of British Columbia is re- ported to be seeking the transfer of his gov- ernment's lame-duck railway, the Pacific Great Eastern, to the Federal government or to the two transcontinental railways in combination. Such a plan, comments the Winnipeg Fret- Press, (Liberal), raises at once melancholy mem- ories of the past and'd0ubts about the future. S0 long as we can remember, back to the days of the last war, British Columbia governments have been trying to unload the P. G. E. on the natiorfs taxpayers. Numerous elections have been fought on the promise that somehow this miracle of provincial deliverance could be performed. But, of course, nothing of the sort has happened.

Today the objection to such a scheme is the same as it always \vas—no province, embarking on a socialistic railway or other‘ plan has a right, when it goes wrong, to make the general taxpayers of the country pay for it. British Columbia has no more right to ask the Domin- ion to pay the feed bill of its white elephant than Saskatchewan has to ask the Dominion to pay part of the cost of its experiments in socialism.

“British Columbia." argues our Winnipeg contemporary, “is the last province to appeal for Federal help since it was one of the chief forces that,\vrecked the last inter-provincial confer- ence which was called to arrange a new firi- ancial settlement between the Dominion and the provinces. British Columbia was irilling to nlake no concessions to tl1e Dominion. was not even willing to discuss such concessions. \Ve can hardly believe that it now expects the Do- minion to make special concessions to it. eon- cessions not extended to other provinces."

I discov- ered that between them they already knew many important things of which I was still lament- sbly ignorant, and that they seemed to have mature opinions on them, which incidentally they expressed engagingly. Often in the eve- nlngs and far into the small hours of the morn- ings we sat and talked about these matters- architecture, painting, the other arts, history, politics, morals, religion and the rest of the great subjects which are solemnly, and of course authoritatively. discussed in under- graduate gatherings.

They can give them glimpses of the most glorious things in life, the fine things of the mind, the things that exalt the spirit, the things which occasionally raise men from being beasts and make them like gods. And they can make them so cherish these things that generation after generation turns its energies not to destruction and war but to the creation of sn ever finer civilization.”

-EDITORIAL “notes-

This coming summer we lose our Governor- General, Earl of .Athl_0ne and his Countess, Princess Alice. His Excellency announced at Ottawa that it would be the last occasion he would present a curling trophy to the winner of Renfrew Club. It had, been anticipated the Gcverncr-Generafs term would be extended, so that this is another indication that the end of the war in Europe will conclude before another winter.

He had been associated with Meyers’ Studios since their inception and had played a major role in their development from coast to coast.

Hepburn will lead the Liberal opposition for the first time; he has already given notice of the termination of the unofficial truce with the Government to which the party adhered last session. Whether the Liberals will join forces with the C. C. F. to bring about the defeat of the government on a major issue is a prime topic of speculation in political circles. Al- though the truce has been terminated, Mr. H burn has said in speeches since his election last Dec. 9 as House leader that he is opposed to a provincial general election iii wartime. He has long been a critic of the C. C. F. and its policies and has voiced his opposition to that party in speeches both before and after h-is election as House leader. w w 4- a-

hours later, indeed, Mr. Duplessis was having the vote taken 0n the first reading of a bill for family allowances. The step caused some- thing of a stir,,with everybody endeavoring to forecast the consequences of a constitutional crisis setting at loggerheads the Dominion and Provincial authorities. As things were, such a bill was to be expected. A few days earlier, on Friday, February 2nd, Premier Duplessis had handed to the press a letter addressed by his Government to the Prime Minister of Canada, in which the Union National Chieftain aired the view that the Family Allowance Act is anti-constitutional. In this same letter—whch made use of the statements of Sir Laurier and of Sir Lomer Gouin on the in- violability of Provincial rights-a single para- graph was sufficicnt, however, to dispose of the Family Allowances Act as passed by Ottawa: “We must conclude from the opinion of the jurists we have consulted and from the study
