' EDITQRIAE T The exchange of fifty American destroyers for the establishment of United States naval and air bases on British islands in the West Indies is a transaction without precedent, even in peace time. Corningasit does in the . midst of a great war, it is even more signifi- cant. While it does not technically change "M the neutral status of the United States in the present war. it is tantamount to :1 mil- itary alliance between the British Empire and the United States. It has not only strength- ened the striking: force of the British navy by an :uldii.ion:ii halt` a hundred ships, but has also released other British ships that were dei'ending' these islands, and at the same time it has given to the United States a valuable advunct-cl line of defence. As Mr. Churchill said. it has enabled the United States to "take danger by the throat while it is still huncii-eds oi"miles from their home- land." `l'!..A IL L... .1..- 1! ... ......-.un 4!-`nu +1-.nl~ and XGLILI. But it has done far more than that, and President Roosevelt was right when he de- scribed it as one of the most "l'ar-reaching international transactions of modern times. For the present `it confronts Germany and Italy with the combined might` of the two greatest powers in the.worlci. Hitler and Mussolini now know that in order to win this war they must conquer the United States as well as the British Empire. These two have resolved to stand or fall together-and there will be no falling on their part. As for the future. it is the beginning of a union that may eventually l 0rm a British- American Commonwealth of democratic na- tions. If it had not been for a semi-imbecile German king on the throne of England 124 years ago the North American colonies would never have separated from Britain, and it is now a German maniac who is bringing them together again. The union of British and * American naval and air forces would do more than all the treaties that could be devised to ` ensure the peace of the world. It was such a union that won the last war. and if it could ' have been maintained the present war might never have happened. HITLER IS VEXED WITH BRITAIN Adolf Hitler's latest verbal blitzkrieg on ` Britain has done little or` no material dam- age to its objective, but it has demolished the belief of the German people in a swift and early victory. The German people were led to believe that their almighty Feuhrer would ride in triumph through the streets 01 London on August 15-~or thereabouts. They were not particular as to a day or two. But there they were in September, and instead of delivering a triumphant speech in a Nazi- fled House of Commons in London, Hitler was making an apologetic and bad-tempered speech at home. 'T`hn 1\Trar/i rIin1'nI`n1' Qnnnwnd tn hp P3(f.l`f>h'lPlV spueuu uh uuuu-.. The Nazi dictator seemed to be extremely annoyed at the .pe1'sistent night raids by the lR0yi1l Air Force over Germany, and petu1ant.- 1.. nr\rv\r\Inir\nr` ohm hn hnrl nmifpd nntinntlv 1'LUy'd.1 nu; IIULUC UVC1 Ln:uuu.u_y, auu pLuLIAu1Au" I 1y complained that he had waited patiently ; for three months for the nuisance to cease. 1 It is quite evident that Hitler doesn't like the R.A.F. night raids, or that he is particularly partial to the day raids, either. But why wait for three months and permit British flyers to blast arsenals, airdromes and sea- ports in Germany ii` the nuisance can be stopped`? Marshal Goering has been trying his hardest to.stop it, chiefly by sending over England droves of bombers which have made themselves a general nuisance. The British people don't like these raids any more than the Germans do, but the Germans should be the last to complain since they started them. No British air raids were made on Berlin until the German flyers attacked . London. -rv:41.`.. ....,1 \:.. LIUHUUH. Hitler and his associates glory in the merciless bombing of the homes of ci- vilians by their airmen. but when British flyers respond with attacks upon industrial and military objectives in Germany they howl like stuck pigs" and threaten to erase English cities--which they have been trying in vain to do for the. past two or three months! Nazi psychology is certainly pecul- rru... .._..-L ..:......:c:......; .-....L Ac 11:0-1.uu.. `Ino- ~LLI.L. I The most significant part of Hitler s lat: ( est speech. however. is that in which he ad- ` mitted that the war may last for another `f four years. This must have come as a great,- disillusionment to the German people and I` also piirticularly to Italians. It was at least : an admission that the planned invasion ofly Britain was being held up and that, even if it were tried out. it might fail to bring the ' war to an end. German military men. and . even the optimistic Goebbels himself, are frankly conlessing that the British are a! "stubborn race. Hitler in his speech repeat- ed that he had "always desired to come to an ' amicable arrangement with Britain." He never desired it more heartily than he does at the present time. despite his declaration that he will "liglit until -.1 clear decision is reached." 1lV\.:I _ A`. .. ,_..s:..,. ...-.-,`.`\. ....`.. A \..A..... ...-..I...- LCU-LIICLI. N` While the entire speech was a hodge-podge l of contradictions. as usual, it was a revela-`E tion of disappointment and vexation. For the first time since his drive through Holland. j Belgium and France. Hitler was on the de- fensive. He hinted that he expected Britain to take the initiative in the war when he M said that Gernmny was ready for every- thing`. no in-.1tter wli-at Britain is planning. Nobody can scure us." All of which would in- dicate that Hitler is at least beginning to get scared or that he is not quite so cocksure of victory as he was three months ago. llll.

In his address on Sunday night asking whole-hearted support for the loan, Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister oi` Finance, said that Can- ada s war bill had mounted steadily and was still growing. In August it was $2,000,000 a day and the Royal Canadian Air Force alone will require $1,000,000 a clay this month. So the urgency of the need for this loan should be apparent to everyone. Mr. Ilsley made a special appeal to the small investor. There were 120,000 subscrip- tions under $500 in the first war loan, and the Minister urged that this number of this type of subscription be doubled. If the al- lotment is oversubscribed, preference will be given to small investors. Alfhnurrh fhn 1'(l,1ll'Y`I iS H01; high. is `TWELVE O CLOCK and ALL S WELL '4 -1' "4 N _h`"`;`- . n.-I 7; -5' \`.

Some Destroyer Arithmetic How badly Britain needed these de.-i.royei's may be judged from the fact that. although she had the support of all the other naval pow- ers but Germany in the last war, she found 400 destroyers not too many in 1918, while doday she is `attempting to carry out almost the same world-wido I`(.`Sp0l1Sll)lllll05` with less than half that number and none of the important naval powers as an ally. Britain had 170 destroyers when the war began` took over five which she was building for Brazil and has had the, help of six Canadian destroy- ers, as many Auztraliz-n. and a mixed half-dozen Polish, Norweg- ian and Dutch, to make up a total of 200. In addition she was build- ing 24, which have'probably all mime into r-on1mi.A.sion hv n-')'.v_ screen 1,000 miles in front of Amer-I _ ica s Eastern .~:ea-board.
