Nazi inhumanity

The i latest evidences of Nazi inhumanity come from the mouth of Major Heinrich Suchs- land of the (lcrmait Air Corps.

As a co-atlvoczitc with his brother NKZiS 0i the (loctrinc of “racc-brcctlittg" by politics rather than cugcuics, .\lajor Stichslzind is totally undis- turbed by the pnnpt-cts of muss air bombing of population _ct-11trt~s. llc actually welcomes such air raids upon ticrmzin citics, it would seem, for he dcclarcs that war measures of this sort would but zissist thc .\' /.i (loctrittc of eliminating the “tmfitf; unfit racially, iiitcllccttlally, economi- cally.

According to Major Suchslztntl, writing in the October issue of “The Living Age," air bomb- ing cities would do thc most damage in the con- gested areas, and in those arcas the “physically undcsirablcs" live_

lvlajor Suchsland is of the detached opinion that people in those areas are “economically Ltndcsirzible" bccausc they are too poor t0 live in more open and hcalthicr surroundings. He also Arlaims that thcy are “intellectually un- desirable" because they are incapable of under- standing the finc art of air-raid precautions. They are therefore unfit racially to inhabit Nazi-laud.

Thus, Major Suchslaudl Charming fellow, lndced» He lauds the prospects of the bombing of the dense art-as of German cities by the Allies because they will in that way inadvertently purge the German population of unwanted elements. lt is another form of the Nazi doctrine of “ster- ilization of the tinfit." Nazi nastiness cannot seem to satisfy even itself in the matter of hor- rible notions.

Soap A Luxury in Germany

Soap, according to a U. S, correspondent, is In invaluable luxury in Germany today, as it was in the last years of the World War. House- wives have been informed by the “research” group of the German Women's Work Organ-

The Fire Menace

Last year the Fire Demon numbered among

his victims in Canada 263 men, women and children. In I937, I05 children lost their lives by fire, while in 1938, n8 children's live were claimed. This is a. staggering admission and the responsibility for such tragedies can in many cases be laid directly t0 the negligence of par- ents who far too often leave their helpless little ones alone in the house while they visit neighbours or go to a show. These holocausts frequently occur in rural districts where neighbours are long distances away and the parents are unable to reach their burning home in time to save their children from a horrible death. Every parent should realize that it is his duty to teach his children the principles of fire pre- ventionu Thcy should not bc allowed to play with fire, matches should be kept out of their reach and thc playing with celluloid toys should be discouraged. liy'a strict adherence t0 the use of common sense. parcnts can thus save themselves the bittcr anguish and lifc-loitg regret which must be ever present when a child per- ishes by their neglect.

There is some logic in the complaint that Ber- lin propaganda can have rcady access to Can- ada, while censorship clamps down on much that Canadians would like to hcai. Th: trouble is, Ottawa is not in a position to cut out, or black out, short wave stations,

It has taken a war, not an earthquake as

ization of Leipzig that an ersatz laundry system has been found to give fine results. Water, in which potato peels have been lengthily soaked, is recommended for things not too lightly col- outed, and water in which ivy leaves have been cooked is advised for woollens and gloves-

Thc day that policemen came to German homes over a. month ago and handed out ration cards brought a. gloom to the people of that country that was almost startling in its intensity. After years of poor food substitutes, appalling taxes end a. lack of even necessities, the grimmer days of 1917-18, which most German people remember only too well, were vividly recalled. Outside the legions marched with the equipment that these sacrifices made possible; inside there was despair.

The American correspondents ere, of course, not encouraged to see or report on these things. They are carefully looked after in the matter of food, just as are those “visitors" who are still able, for a considerable sum of money, to get table luxuries in hotels. And one can well rt:- member how other pre-war "visitors," after staying at hotels along the Unter den Linden, were able to return and tell the people of the democracies that the people of Germany were not so badly off after all, and did not want war.

There were other visitors, it is worth recalling, who thought no such thing. If they were passed off es scaremongers for providing little anec- dotes about the intense hardships of the Ger- man people, of the bitter memories they had of shoes made of paper and bread from carrots twenty-five years ago, they had e much deeper insight than the others.

Stories like that about soap are not entertain- ing sidelights. They are glimpses of a condition of affairs that give the British blockade, and the consolidation of allied forces 0n the western

front, a more potent meaning than the con- iusion of arm-chair strategists.

The theory of aree bombing by formation flying met little resistance at Warsaw from Po- land's wholly inadequate air force. The Allies in the air are not at the mercy of enemy bomb- ers es were the Poles. They can modestly ex- pect to be fairly competent to resist massed air attacks, as they are equally competent to inflict them. Air attacks made in mass cannot be ex- pected to be wholly resisted, but that applies to Allied attacks as equally as to enemy attacks. And though the Allies catinot hope to prevent some bombing of their centres, they seem con- fident that their counter-attacks are unlikely to be borne with enduring fortitude by the people of Germany.

Times heard it and sent a reporter down to the Hudson River end of 49th Street to look for the riot. He didn't find one. Neither rlld he find any seamen of the Queen Mary o; the Normandte. He found instead deserted quays and across the dark and echoing caverns of 12th Avenue an empty pub and a. story: the story of some simple men's good - bye to peace.

The phy- sician advised e dye test. and Xray which showed that. while the gull bladder “filled" ell rizht and there was no evidence of stun-es, it was very slow ln emptying. While this slowness might. be accounted for by heavy or fatty meals, the phy- sician believed that. the "tense- ness" of the patient. due to his anxiety. was actually causing a. spasm of the gall bladder, thus catislng a. delay tn emptying the bile stored within 1t. ‘The patient admitted that for some weeks he had taken little or no exercise and had eaten two dinners daily.

(London Times)

Poland today lies under Lhe heel of her two invaders. having first, won immortal glory. Her army, at.- tacked without provocation by a power deeply pledged to peaceful relations with her, compelled to d9. fend three open frontiers at. once against overwhelmingly superior numbers. harassed by every device of modern mechanlcal warfare without any comparable equipment to oppose them. and ceaselessly bombarded from a/buve by fleets of aircraft fivefold superior to its own, has held the pass for ctvtltzu. tlon with a valour no less heroic than tlmt of Lemldas and the three hundred of Thermopylae. In spite of the desperate odds which it con- fronted, its resistance was not broken until, like the Spartans, it was struck down by treachery from the rear. .
