I550 1 i PAGE 4 I I 7 Remembrance Day Remembrance Day falls this year in a time of world crisis, the gravest . -I we have experienced since the Second Worltl War. It seems incredible, after f that conflict and the Korean War I I which followed it, that we should H 4-yer lie brought to this pass again. ll t'.-yy law are tlin,-e who can stand I by a weathered Cenotaph. and not think back to some dear one who paid the supreme price that others ' might live: and very few are those i who do not wonder if that sacrifice 1135 been redeemed. Certain it is that plain (nil; thrnllghmlt the world have no llllisirmz left ahrltil the lengendary glories of battle and the sweets Qf victory. They know that in these times war is disastrous to victor and vanquished alike. They know that after another major conflict the dead to be mourned would include whole communities wiped off the face of the earth. whole regions depopulated by pestilence and famine. What would the war dead say v I I . z : . I now, could they speak to chastened humanity? Surely their faith was ' I this: that men and women should not rest until they had made a bet- I ter world. a world in which goodwill ' and human kindness would submerge differences of race and creed. No I systems of society, no clashes of in- I I terest, no personal ambition. could then bring the nations into war. We have seen this faith flouted time and again, not only by smaller nations but by a great World Power, posing all the while as I champion of human rights-its hands even now freshly dripping with the blood of slaughter in Hungary. This Power was our ally during the last world . conflict, and it seemed at that time " that we could form a working agree- I ment which would carry over into the peace years for the betterment of mankind. Yet behind all the trouble in Europe and the Middle East, in Asia and Africa today, we find Soviet Russia, unslumbering in its evil aims; promoting strife, sup- plying arms, breeding war. It is the bitter irony of this Remembrance Day anniversary that it finds the Western Powers divided on the uestion of dealing with this menace, : d that Britain and France should I ave had to stand, almost alone, in orcing action in one zone of acute danger upon I I h o c k e d United Nations. The truth that should come home to our great American neighbors Ind to ourselves at this time is that peace is I challenge as great. and in many ways more arduous than that of war. It has to be re-won Ind re- consecrated. It is not made pennan- ent through blindness, nor selfish- ness. nor appeasement of the powers of evil which are striving for ascend- ency today. The signs and portents are all about us. Ostrich-like deter- mination not to see them will bring us no salvation. And time is running out. . In remembering our war dead, we should therefore remember also the cause in which they died. Our gratitude must be more than an emotion, however keen and heart- felt. Unless we find the way to en- during peace and are prepared at all costs to attain it, our dedication will be hollow indeed. Tomorrow is our Day of Remembrance. Let us think on these things. Poor Argument East tensions for seversl years with- out doing one thing to lessen them. But it is certainly questionable whether the United States had the slightest moral right to advance the argument, in -view of its established policy in the Pacific. Ever since the Korean War began the United States Navy has been patrolling the For- mosa Straits with strict orders to oppose any attempt by the mainland Chinese forces to invade the Na- tionalist stronghold. The same policy was laid down with respect to the off-shore islands of Quemoy and Matsu. Why? To protect the Chinese Nationalists fr 0 in Communist ag- gression? Yes. but only in I second- ary sense. The main purpose of the policy, as stated on numerous oc- casions by the United States Gov- ernment. was to protect American ”national interests” in the Pacific. If the Chinese Communists were to invade Formosa tomorrow, or the Philippines or any other point in the Pacific which the United States con- siders vital to its security, would the matter be referred to the United Nations for adjudication? Certainly not. The full force of American arms would be thrown into action without delay. Again, does anyone, even the Hon. Mr. Pearson, seriously believe that nationalization by Panama of the Panama Canal would be referred by the United States to the world or- ganization for lengthy and useless negotiations? To ask the question is to realize how very silly it is. Every- body knows full well that in such an event United States forces would take over the canal before the Secretary - General of t h e United Nations was ever informed of the fact, and in a shorter time than it would take Mr. Pearson to pack his bags and hurry to New York for consulations with Soviet, Indian and Afghanistan delegates to the U.N. EDITORIAL NOTES Tokyo claims to be the biggest city in the world or at least the next thing to it. Its population now stands at 81,4; million, which is increasing by 25,000 monthly. There are 1V3 million homes to accommodate the population; and that fact probably makes it the most congested of all the big cities. Actually, London is still the world's biggest city. Now that the price of hogs has taken I slightly upward turn, Agri- cultural officials are reprimanding farmers who got rid of their breed- ing stock last spring. But, of course, if they had not done so, the market would not have strengthened this fall. It is precisely the general short- age of hogs that puts them in de- mand. O O 0 Sir Winston Churchill has not lost his flair for wholesome wit In even the most critical situations. He has announced his intention of enter- ing his favourite horse, Ie Pretend- ant. in next week's international horse race at Laurel, Md., because, as he puts it, "this participation is essential under the present world crisis." 0 O O The boycotting of the Russian Embassy's banquet in celebration of the 1917 October Revolution was about the only tangible thing the Canadian Government has done in recent weeks to show the Kremlin that this country is deeply angered over the inhuman way the Hun- garians are being treated. A news dispatch says that two "junior of- ficers" of the External Affairs De- partment were in attendance "un- officially." There should have been no Canadian participation of my kind, official or unofficial. O O 0 Major General Mscklin, former Adjutant-General of the Canadian Army, has called this country's foreign policy, pIrttculIr1y with re- spect to Middle East Iffslrs.

Financial Picture By Patrick Nicholson Ottawa: The government ap- pears tu be driving our economy with one foot on the accelerator of public spending and the other on the brake of private credit curbs. Finance Minister Walter Harris. Is controller of the government's budget policy, is presiding over a record spending spree. On the oth- er hand, Bank of Canada Governor James Coyne. as administrator of the government's monetary pol- icy, ls clamping rccord curbs on . all forms of credit. I Mr. Coyne is paid 350.000 per yen for keeping our chartered banks Ind in fact all our finan- cial businesses in line. He is an Intl-inflstionlst by conviction. Mr- Hsrrls is paid little more than half that sum - 527.000 PET Year - for running the financial side of CInadI's biggest business, which is the federal government. He is In inflItlonlst in practice. And al- though he is rsted the less import- Int of the two by salary, he evid- ently enjoys the greater authority. Prices today Iverage four per cent higher than this time last year. If you doubt this. ask Mrs. Johnny Canuck Ibout the cost of the weekly basket of food for her fsrnlly. Viewing I longer period of time, the price rise has been very much larger. and that of course means that the purchasing power of our dollar has fallen cor- respondingly. WERE WE SHORT-CHANGED? For Ixsmple, our 1949 dollsr is todIy worth only 84 cents. And our 1935 dollnr is worth only 33 cents today. That means that if, in 1935. you managed to save I few dollars to bring you some comfort Ind plessuru in your old age. you hsve in effect been short-changed so as to have only one dollar to- dIy for every three hard-csrned dollIrs you saved.

"What other answer did you expect me to glve'." he added, thus letting. to coyne I phrase. the momctary cat out , of the bank's bag.
