I; is the lmplrmontation of those words with military fcrcc on which the countries will now gc to work. The idea is to convince any possible aggressor which for the present means Russia - thst war won't pay.

Senator Robert Taft. although approving the pact. has expressed the fear that rcarmament will gcad Russia. into an early or "pre- ventive" attack.

This is a possibility that has been widely considered. Observers have rationalised that, since some Americans have entertained the ides that war is inevitable and

Russia should be subdued before

she gets the atom bomb, Russia might very well be thinking sim- llarly.

The usual reply is two-fold:

REGENT’! REPORT

Following is the report of the Regent, Mrs. T. G. Ives:

At this 48th annual meeting of our Chapter, I who. to thank you for the privilege granted me to serve you as your Regent during the past year. All offices cf im- portance bring responsibility, which at times may become burdensome. but to the Regent of such an im- pcrtant organization as the Im- perlal Order Daughters of the Empire is an honor, cam member should covet. As you know it was with much reluctance that I ac- cepted the office, for I felt unequal to the position. However, due to the zeal of the officers and con- venors of committees and the co- operation cf the members. a fair amount of work has been accom- plished in a peace time programme. I also wish to express my sincere ratltude to Mrs. J. T. Davies, cretary and Mrs. Stewart Weir. Treasurer for the willing and ef- ficient way in which they kept all records of our work: to Mrs. Victor Saunders who superintendeed the Post War Service Work; to Mrs. Bell and her Sewing Committee who met almost every ‘iiriday after- noon and were responsible for as- sembling so many useful articles for shipment overseas; to Mrs. Home and Mrs. Brehaut who as- sembled. packed and shipped the many pounds of food and clothing for the needy; to the Past Regent, Mrs. .7. A. McMillan for her help- ful advice on many occasions; to the Councillors and Convanors of Sub-Committees and other officer; who were so faithful in their re- spective dutles and to all, uiio b)’ their attendance. ktimulated the meetings and encouraged the Regent. A more detailed account of their work will be given by each Convener.

Busy meetings were held each month when reports were sub- mitied and further work planned. At most meetings interesting papers on different topics were prepared and read'by Miss Mary Irving, Convenor of Empire Study. At one meeting Miss Gerda Hanson of Denmark. who was visiting relatives in the City. gave m 1n. formative address on tier native land, as well as many interesting accounts of underground activities during the war.

An event of special importance took place at our June meeting. when through the kind hospitality of our Honorary Vice-President. Mrs. .1. A. Bernard. ws met at Government House and presented a Standard to the newly organized Charter. "Lucy Maud Montgomery." Much credit is due to Mrs. William Berhsut for her initiative in organ- lzlns this fine group c: young wo- men. Abegweit and Iiillsborough Chapters were our welcome guests at this time and participated in the programme.
