In announcing last week the position taken bv the United States, Prcsitlcilt Roosevelt fur- nished in tlctnil C\'l\lt‘llL‘C of numerous acts of "pirzicv" cotiiiiiiitctl by Nazi warships. The time had come when action was necessary. As he put it, "You (lo not wiiit for a rattler to strike. You crush it when you see it."

Mr. bloc-X's announcement is the logical sequel to the President's speech, It means great- er assistance to Ih-itain in the battle of the At- lantic, and should result in freeing additional British iinirships for duties elsewhere

The St. _lt‘\l1n'| Evening Telegram comments drily: “\\'e are not alvare of any project con- ternplated for bridging Cabot Strait or damming the Straits oi Belle Isle in the immediate future -—ho\vcrcr. there has been so much talk of major defence tiriilertaltings stretching from highly improbable to the possible, that even talk of this would not itirprise us. Certainly the way cen- sorship ll operating in Newfoundland it would not be unlikely that the first that Newfoundland- er: would hear of the project would be a state- ment in the press abroad that it had been com- pleted. It seems safe at present to say, however, that Newfoundland is still an island-U. S. War Office orders to its personnel to the con- trary notwithstanding."

Canada's Contribution

Mr. Churchill has said that without the war effort of Canada, the resistance to the Axis pow- on which has blocked their march to world power could not have been uicccssfully maintain- ed. There is in this no special praise for Can- ada, comments the Winnipeg Free Press, He could say the same thing of..the other belliger- ent British nations. It is hoth a terrifying and a bracing thought that if any one of these nations had defaulted in its duty, the conquest of the world would now be far advanced, so narrow have bet-n the margins by which disaster has been CSCHPPFI. It is a thought which must he with us as we look down the vista of the third yen and prepare ourselves for its trials, it: sacri- fiu; mil, as we are justified in hoping, its tri- umphs. ln wiir there is no room for the phrase “grind cnmitgh" as tiirirltiiig the limit of contribil- firm; thcn- is no limit except that reached by totality of [FHSIIJIC effort.

The purpose of this transparent sttiff can deceive no one. The Nazi oligarcliy dreads more ,tliaii anything else the devclopnictit of a big |westcrii lililitury front while the RUSSIAN incident approaches its most crucial stage. A British ex- pcditionrlry force will assuredly be latidcd on the Continent when the Allies are satisfied the time is ripe for the final offensive. This threat froiii Berlin of an invasion of England is obvi- oiisly' calculated to kecp the British in a tip-toe dcfcnsive position at home as long as possible. It is the kind of finesse that will prove success- ful when Britain looks to Germany for dc- pendable tips with respect to the conduct of the war. The Goebbels propaganda is unique in its inverted veracity and its nirnrlzicious candor.

The British Association has received the fol- lowing message in reply to a resolution recently forwarded to the U. S. S. R. Academy of Sciences rejoicing that the services of science in both countries are now being utilized to compass the defeat of the common eiicinyt. and expressing the hope that British and Russian science may unite in aiding the establishment of a new and happier ordering of the affairs of mankind: "The Academy of Science of the U.S.S.R. sends warmest greeting to the Committee for Social and International Relations of the Brit- ish Association for the Advancement of Science. With the help of scientists of both our countries the united peoples of Great Britain and the Soviet Union will triumph in the war for the liberation of humanity from Fascist tyranny.”

Riley which appeared in The Times, Lon- don: The association, known as “The Kins- men," owes its inception to one of our “young ambassadors," for on October l6 11-year-old Alan Bemrosc read a message at tlit- llrrzild-Ikl- bune Annual Forum in New York oti behalf of the British children in America to their mothers and fathers at home. I\lrs. Lucie Bcmrose. of Derby, felt impcllctl to circulate this message to parents who had not heard the sliort-ivavc broadcast, and suggested to them the formation of "The Kinsmen" as a nlcans of keeping in close personal touch with one nnothcr. Three months ago the association came into licing. with two ob- jects: first, to establish a background for the children when they return, aiitl. secondly, to give each parent the opportunity of expressing grati- tude by offering reciprocal hospitality to the grown-tip sons and daughters of Anlcricri who have come over licrc to liclp us fight. Though |“Tllc Kinsmen" is still in its infancy. far-reach- ing plans are afoot, including the founding of a scholarship fund for American cliildrcti after the war, a Thanksgiving lliiyi party for children. the formation of lll'illlt‘lll‘$ throughout ill’! country. the extension of the original sclicilie to ‘include the Doniiiiitins, and the furtherance of ‘any cause in the interests of the children, Ain- eflca. and the British (‘oinilimirvpnlill of Nflyinng; Ittrrthcr particuhlrswvill ulwdlyi be given lipmi in- qinry lo The Kinsmen Kitigs\\:iy' llousc, Lon- don, W.

The Greer Incident (Hamilton Spectator)

Members of the crew of the|

Amerlcan destroyer Greer, on reaching Iceland, are credited wlth having ldentifled as German the submarine which attempted to tor- pedo thelr ship 1n the Atlantic.

This verslon. 1f authentic, a-p- pears to make tr obvlous that enough of the submarine’: hull must have been seen to reveal its nation- ality and that more than lbs con- ning tower was above the surface of the sea when the torpedoes were released. The attack ls therefore all the more deliberate and unwor- ranted. ms the nationality of the Greer was plainly displayed and vlsiblllty has been descrlbed as good, the tlme being shortly after dawn.

there. Her mission was peaceful and

'lawful. Isolatlonists have sought to

excuse the silbmarlnes act with the that the sllhouette of the Greer was the same as that of the American destroyers which were turned over to Britain several months n20. and that she was. by reason of this likeness. mistaken for an enemv ship. This attempt to mitigate the attack ls far from convincing when 1t ls reallmd that the Greer. ln addition to large numerals of ldentlty on her hull, flew an American flag.

Intelligent American oplnlori wlll be further aroused b,v this wanton attack and see 1n 1t but smother proof of the Hull's arrogance. ind but another of the many reasons why the United States must sooner or later ally ltsclf as a belligerent with the forces fightlng for freedom and the restoration of world order The truth must he apparent to every American that Germany res- pects no nation but herself and that she can be stopped only by force.
