A Tribute l0 Sir Slaflﬂfd

When Si!‘ Stafford Grim» was e-‘Pflkd “m” the British Labour Party for advocating too ad‘; vanccd soclalistic policies, he “'85 aidccl wan ‘betted by two COllCIIQtlBS who followed him into the wilderness," viz. .\lr.

The iii-lief has been writing his views on his former. 60l- league and his ncw appointment. and here is the gist of them: “Mr. Churchill acted handsomely and vmh wisdom (with reference to adverse criticism in the House of (fomiilons illlfl PTC55)- “C has “Qt do", mgugh, perhaps. to SatlSfy the tadpoles and Babue of the House of Commons; Pfrhil” he never can whilst he rcfllﬂlﬂs WW5?“ Pnme him" lster. _

"It is not. l think, ln-yond the facts to 51y r11?- Mr, Churchill apart, the figure tipop which the public will m05tly fix it; attention is Stafford Cripps.

This is a handsome and sincere tribute from 011g ‘vhf-l went out "into the- wilderness" with Sir Stafford and knows the stuff 0f' which he is made.

Hard to Follow

Of all tho King Government's press supporters, the l-Vimiipcg Free Prints is probably the ables! 1nd most consistent. Yet even the Free Pres: bu had to cut some amusing capers in order to ieep up with Premier King's gyratione 0n the conscription question. _

At one stage. the Free Press was against githgr a general election, a referendum or a pleb- iscite, and argued that Parliament was vested with lull powers to deal with the problem of recruit- ing. Later, when the Government produced the plebiscite scheme, it bcgzin to sec merit in it. but ll entered this caveat about the nature of the ap- peal to the people:

"Ont course e referendum, ff resorted w, will eel: for e decision upon e definite problem, embody- ing a policy approved by the Government for which popular consent will be sought. Any other kind of referendum, under the circumstances now prevailing. would be open to strong and fatal ob- jeetforie. Consultation of the people in this ln- stenoe should mcan a definite reference to the

people."

Now that the Govirrinnciit has formulated a plebiscite which docs not bcgin to comply with this primary condition. the Free Press is landing it as a wonderful (lcvicc for preserving the na- tional unity, and hurling buckr-ts of abuse at any- body who stiggcsls llnr it is a waste of time and money.

Come weal nr wit‘ for the cause of freedom, the ascendancy of lln- Liberal Party must be maintziincil!

Skyscrapers and Bombs Mr. "7ll'\'f‘_\' Wilcy Corbett, of New York, an alrcliitccf who Wis prominently illcnfificrl willi the erection of Rnckcfi-lli-r (X-nirc rim] the buildings at Chicago's Cviuury" of luogrrss I-Ixliibilion, b.- lievcs that. if llic bombing plzuic is in remain ns

W}

buildings no higher than four or five storey! u-ould be safer and a better place in which to live than one filled with skyscrapers. He inclines l6 this view because history shows that no instru- ment of war devised by mankind has ever been discarded until a more terrifying weapon was pro- duced to supersede it.

Skyscrapers are not necessary. anyway. \Vhen grouped, they cause congestion in the streets as their occupants enter or emerge from them at peak hours; they shut off light andﬁifﬁndbe- come urban canyons which make heat waves hard to endure. Mr. Corbett used to admire the tall buildings and advocate their erection, but he has changed his mind with regard to them. Obvious- ly, it would be easier in an air raid for people m a five-storey buiding to reach ground level or the street than for those in a fifty-storey building.

Buildings of the future may therefore weigh only about one-third of what they do now, and be of much lower Height. Masonry. as it is now known, including brick, stone and cement, will not likely be used. Walls with a thickness of no more than three or four inches are felt to be ample for the new type of construction. Pre- fabricated and synthetic elements will replace the raw materials now so commonly employed. Build- ings will be put up much quicker and be just as strong. If not over, the era of the skyscraper seem: at least to be declining.

Sir Stafford Cripps quit his large practice at the bar because. he said, he was tired of taking large sums of money from one capitalist to give it to another capitalist. Thereafter, (according to Time) he became even better known for his Christianity, vegetarianism (he ivas nicknamed “Christ and Carrots") and socialism. Like Win- ston Churchill he constantly foretold the war, at- tacked the appeasers, and favoured British-Rus- sian alliance against Hitler.

Unlike Prime Minister King, President Roose- velt rejects the idea of keeping the U. S. forces at home to defend the U. S. A. pointing out that then no aid could be sent to China; the south west Pacific would fall to the Japanese, who would then be able to launch large-scale at- tacks on the U. S. and Alaska; that Turkey, the Suez Canal, North and West Africa. would fall to the Nazis; that the British and Russan efforts would be crippled. Such "foolish advice," he says, would result in a “turtle policy,” whereas Wash- ington Government "prefers to retain the eagle as it is —flyirig high and itriking hard."

Fredrick Anton Mesmcr, Austrian physician, born this date i733; gave his name to a theory of animal magnetism now commonly called mesmer- ism; induced usually by the subject fixing his eyes on some small object in such a position that there is a slight muscular strain in gazing at it, and passively allowing the hypnotizer to suggest to him the ideas of weariness of the limbs, heav- iness of the eye: and sleep, the rncsmeriser meantime passing his hands monotonously and slowly to or over the face; when the victim succumbs the nlesmeriser makes him do whatever he commands him; posing as a rnagnician, Mes- mer had great success in Paris for a long time but ultimately his theories were discredited, and relegated to the showmen of the music hall and country fairs.

So far as the progress of the war goes, the Axis unfortunately is in a better position than ever to squeeze both Russia and India from east to west. Japan has not yet made war on Russia, but is jockeying herself info a position to do so to hcr best advantage. To of f-sct this Britain and the U. S. A. could join with China in a counter- pincer on the East Indies. This would have to be done, according to a ivcll-informcd authority. by building up a striking force in Australia suffici- ently strong to work its way up through the In- dics and make a juncture with the Chinese,- it would have to be an Australian and a U. S. force, and would not be ready before April or May.
