air Ofi-sttsive until tilt‘ Nazi attacks over England would seem like child's play—Mr. Churchill

said :

"We bslievc there is a broad and sure justice running through this theme. It is time that the (it‘l'lll.'t‘l§ slitttti-l he tirade to stiffer in their own

houiclirril and cities something of the torments they hsive let hose upon their neighbors and upim the world. \\'c have intensified for months past the syqctiiatic, scientific, methodical bomb- ing on a large scale of German cities, seaports, industries and other military objectives. \Vc be- lieve it to he in our power to keep this process going on a iiviltlily rising tide, month after month, your‘ after year, until the Nazi regime is eiihcr cult-pitted by us or, better still, torn to piccus by the (jet-mm people themselves. Every tn-uith as the great bottibers are finished in our faculties or sireep hither across the Atlantic (itcvan. we shall continue the monstrous discharge of high extilosivcs upon Germany. Every month will see rhc tonnage increased, and the nights l\‘llQ'Iilt'll<"l aurl the range of our people also grown to that unhappy, abject, subject province winch user! to be called Italy. They will have their fair share, too."

lVords sirch as these must burn like acid into the Consciousness of the Axis leaders. They are stripped of all rhetoric and bombast_ Every sen- tence finds its mark, every word carries the strain of the momentous meaning of Churchill's prophecy. \\'e have come a long way from the attitude of appcascrtient of prewar years, to this stark pronouncement of Britain's determination to sweep Nazism from the earth. Not by wish- ful thinking, but by coldly calculated effort; "month after month, year after year"; a thing to be achieved only, as Churchill reminded us at the beginning, by much "sweat, blood and tears". This itidotiiitalilc man, the epitome of the soul of Britain today, mtrst haunt the nightmares of Hitler and Mussolini. They must dread every time he goes to the microphone.

To Ilritain and the Dominions, and to our friends in the United States, his speeches are trumpet calls to action. They carry the ring of absolute conviction, which is why we respond to them as we do. Would that we had more Church- ills, and fewer politician: of the pussyfooting type! \\'e would then not have to worry about “national unity”, such unity being always present where there are real leaders to inspire it.

One Way To Help.

l-‘i-nm ljillilnll comes the urgent cry, “Give us all the ggaswliiit‘ you can spare.”

(Ema-la cannot turn over all her gasoline. That product is vital in our huge production of war nralcriril. We need large quantities for the himrlrctls of air training ships across the coun- try, for tlic navy and the convoys which touch our shores, for the transportation of war goods.

Armed with this knowledge who of us is go- ing to refuse to cooperate? The decision should be an easy one.

Shuttle-Route For Bombers

The Chicago Daily News discusses an inter- esting method of co-operation in fighting Hitler. It says:

“Look at the map of Europe. miles from London to Moscow. That is not ‘long range’ in terms of modern bombers. It is a. medium range. The British and Russians tnust possess, at the least, many hundreds of ’planes capable of making that kind of flight with heavy bomb loads.

"Heretotore, the British have never gone more than I00 miles or so east of Berlin. Al- ways therc was the uncomprising necessity for conserving fuel supply for the return fight. But this no longer applies. Now a British bomber might, under agreement with the Soviets, fly on to a Russian base, where it could be refucled and reloaded with bombs, or even take on a new crew. In an hour or two, the ship would be ready for the return flight. Russian bombers could operate in the same way. i

“It should be possible to establish a veritable shuttle-route for bomb raids across the heart of Germany. This may be looked for, we think, as one of the early developments of the new war."

If the details could be worked out—-qirestions of supplies, ground crews, anti-aircraft defence, etc.—-rhc proposal would have. distinct possi- bilities. It would mean, in effect, that every last spot in Germauyr could be reached by bomb- ers of both Russia and Britain, and that isn't a prospect the Nazis would enjoy at all.

Grains are making good progress in the Mari- time: says the report of the Bank of Montreal Hay is being cut in some districts and reports indicate a good average yield. Pastures are in good condition. Potatoes are comparatively free from disease and, like other root crops, they are doing well. Orchard conditions are, on the ivhole. favourable and the set is average. Good quality strawberries are coming in and a plentiful yield i: indicated. There is ample moisture in nearly alil districts and continued warm weather is need- c .

What in reality constitutes a benevolent God? Certainly not a Deity who is a good-natured old grandfather and who in lazy indulgence watches with detached amusement the antics of His chil- dren. A cheap compromising age has little con- ception of the relationship of human sin and a Holy God. What seems benevolent in sinful man with his limited knowledge may not be at all benevolent with a holy and all-knowing God. We believe in God's benevolence because of Jesus Christ. We believe that His presence in the earth 2,000 years ago, His death upon the cross, His resurrection and promised return is the kind of interference in human affairs that is in keeping with God's holiness, justice and love.
