There has been much recent comment over the rumour that a German company has offered to build a pipeline from Turner Valley in Alberta to the Pacific Coast for the sending of crude oil from the Alberta field to the coast. A comment in the Globe and Mail on Saturday in regard to the matâ€" ter terms the proposal as "fantastic." At the same time The Globe and Mail does not suggest that the project is, impossible or even impractical. The fantastic part of the scheme seems to be that the German government (openly quoted by the comâ€" pany as behind the plan) should recognize the posâ€" sibilities of the largest source of oil in the British Empire before Canada or the Empire itself. It may be taken for granted that with the furore created by the proposal of a German company to buy the Island of Anticosti the Canadian government will scarcely dare give serious consideration to the idea of handing over the development and exâ€" tension of the oil business in Alberta to a German corporation ‘that is apparently no more than a "front" for the German government itself. In last Thursday‘s issue of The Advance an article by Willson Woodside, journalist and traveller, was reprinted from Toronto Saturday Night, making out a startling case regarding Nazi Germany‘s growing interest in Canada. After reading Mr. Woodside‘s article and studying other incidents and matters available, it is not necessary to see spies in every bush and behind every corner, to realize that Nazi Germany‘s interest is assuming undesirable proportions. It seems to be the part of common sense to seek to reduce Germany‘s enâ€" trance into Dominion affairs, while at the same time rousing Canadians to greater thought and effort for the progress of this country. While the newspapers are questioning the Gerâ€" man proposal to buiid an oil pipeline from Alberta to the Coast, The Advance thinks it even more TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontlarctoâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekiy ««roup OFFICE 26 â€"â€"â€"â€" PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO. LAKE, Owner and Publisher fantastic that a German should have free run of the air in the Far North, without some explanaâ€" tion of the purpose behind it all. Although both the Romah‘ Catholic and the Anglican churches in.Canada have been doing extended missionary service in the Far North, without publicity or senâ€" sationalism, and while they appear to be doing alk that is possible for the material as well as the :spiritual welfare of the Indians and Esquimaux of that territory, it surely is fantastic that a German missionary, equipped with aeroplane, radio station and other paraphernalia, should be needed in the work for the moment. It is no more fantastic to stand back and have the German government build oil pipe lines, than it is that missionaries should be needed in Canada from Germany, of all places ; As noted before in The Advance, the much pubâ€" licized German Flying Priest not only has an aeroâ€" plane service of his own, but is establishing a numâ€" ber of radio receiving and sending stations along Hudson‘s Bay, the story coming from the North being that in the installation of these stations none but Germans are employed. If the enterâ€" prise is no more than a beneficent missionary enterprise, the plans under which it is being carâ€" ried out approach the fantastic. The public are entitled to kpow what it all means. The Dominâ€" ion covernment should know the facts in the case and it is the duty of the government to allay any public anxiety by a statement in the matter. Unâ€" til this is done the public will be justified in holdâ€" ing the government in the position of sponsoring this alleged German activity in the Far North. In the meantime it is not too much to say that Canâ€" adian public opinion is very much averse to the idea of the German government having any maâ€" terial place in the development of Canada‘s crude oil business, or the religious instruction of the people of the Far North. Canada should be ready to build its own oil pipe lines and supply its own missionaries. In recent days the world has been impressed by the dire danger of another general European war. The fact that Premier Chamberlain last week made a trip by air to interview Hitler made it plain to most people that the situation was more than grave. There is also a general belief that in case Czechoslovakia is attacked by Germany, it will be impossible for Britain to remain out of the conâ€" flict. Indeed, the average man today feels that Britain should not wait to be forced into such a war when it commences. Honour and expediency alike suggest that Britain line up at once@n the right side. It is impossible to believe that the Empire can remain neutral in the face of conâ€" tinued aggression. There is general regret that so much of oppression and mass murder has been permitted already, and the belief becomes more and more widespread that continued neutrality only postpones the day when Britain will be unâ€" able further to stand aside.

At a meeting of the officers of branches of the Canâ€" adian Legion in the Northern Zone at Cochrane yesterday, the right answer seemed to be given. The meeting went on record as being in the fullest and most loyal support of the Empire in the presâ€" ent crisis . There was no parlour theorizing about autonomy, no splitting of hairs!. But just the simâ€" ple, honest declaration that the Canadian Legion was still a loyal section of the British Empire. "The Legion is behind the British Empire in the present crisis!" That is the attitude of British Canadians and of the new Canadians. In placing the thought on record the members of the Legion in the North again gave leadership. in mind, i{ is but natural that there should be disâ€" cussion as to what position Canada will take in the event of war. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other Dominions have declared themâ€" selves. There has been no official declaration from Canada. Premier King is quoted as saying that it might be well not to give an opinion on Canada‘s attitude "so long as the case remains hypothetical. It is known that Premier King has the fantastic idea that Canada may remain out of a European war in which the Empire takes part. To suggest that Canada is not at war when the Empire is at war is as senseless as it would be to suggest that Ontario could remain out of a war in which Canada was engaged. Those who have that pink political notion that Canada may remain out of an Empire war, and still remain in the British Empire, need to be rudely awakened. Surely it is apparent by this time that it is not the peaceâ€" desiring nations that decide whether there will be a war or notâ€"and where that war will be. If war does come, it will not be because of any warâ€"like frame of mind of Britain or France. For weeks past there has been world acknowledgment of the fact that it is the former Paperhanger who is to decide the issue. By the same token, Canada will have no more say as to whether she will be in the war than London, England, the Rand, South Afriâ€" ca, or any other part of the Empire where covetâ€" eous eyes may turn. In case of war the situation is more likely to be that Canada will give thanks that when this country is attacked then Britain is at war, without any small talk. a new world. The aeroplane, for instance, has anâ€" nihilated time and space, medical skill has killed disease, and the radio has murdered art. Still there are some things that seemed to be much the same. For instance last week in its column, "Forty Years Ago," The St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus had this little item apparently taken from the fyles of 1898:â€""Don‘t judge a woman‘s complexion by the box it came in." That would suggest that there are at least two things that haven‘t changed in forty yearsâ€"the way of women and the jokes of man. Many people are startled at all the changes in the world in the last few years. Certainly there have been mighty changes in many ways. Invenâ€" tions of one kind or another appear to have made This year as in other years, remembrance of the inconvenience and confusion resulting from part of the country being under the soâ€"called Daylight Saving Time and the rest of the country on Stanâ€" dard Time, tempts some people to suggest that there should be a provincial or a Dominion law making it obligatory for the whole province or the whole Dominion to adopt the soâ€"called Daylight Saving time. It would be much more logical to hnave a provincial or a Dominion law making it a criminal offence for any town or city or a group of cities to impose the soâ€"called Daylight Saving time on others. There was once a Dominionâ€"wide Daylight Saving Time law, but it was repealed beâ€" cause the majority of the people were against it. Many of the cities favour the soâ€"called Daylight Saving time, but the whole rural area is against the plan. Dominion and provincial parliaments have refused to enact a general Daylight Saving time plan because members know the majority of voters are against it. If any provincial or Domâ€" inion legislation is required in the matter, it would seem to be along the line of a general law that would avoid inconvenience and confusion by enâ€" forcing the general opinion rather than the ideas of a very active minority. Word from St. Thomas suggests that Premier Hepburn this year has so large a crop of ontons on his farm that he has not room enough for all the odorous bulbous plants in his barns and sheds. In this case of the Premier‘s need The Advance would like to be helpful. Isn‘t there also difficulty about a use for the former residence of the Lieutâ€" enantâ€"Governor of Ontario? Surely the answer is plain to both problems. With the menace of a war between Germany and Czechoslovakia there is a danger that people will forget there are wars already in Spain and China. These lastâ€"named wars are being crowded off the front pages of the newspapers. It is to be hoped that they are not being pushed from the consciousness of those considering the newer,war. $ The Halifax Herald says that a newspaper that, were as many "wars and rumours of wars" as there presented nothing but "good news" would not be’ are at the present time. properly fulfilling the functions of a newspaper. * * * News is "good" and "bad," like life, and the Haliâ€" Russia is reported as seeking to arrange for pasâ€" fax newspaper holds that to give only one kind sage through Roumania of men and arms(and GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER SOME THINGS DON‘T CHANGE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Mr. A.

Mr. Briden, who was on the McIntyre staff some years ago, and who was prominent in hockey and other circles in the camp, was one of the oldâ€"timers of this part of the North. He and the family were very ppoular here and are being heartily welcomed by hosts of old friends on their visit. It is all very well for Mr. Hepburn to say the line "should never have been built." When the branch was projected and laid down, there appeared to be good justification for the program. everything pointed to the growth of Norâ€" thern Ontario, the opening of new reâ€" sources between Cochrane and James Bay, and settlement of a large portion of the territory. Had the long depresâ€" sion not intervened, it is altogether proâ€" bable that construction of the line would have been found warranted. (From The Sudbury Star) According to Premier Hepburn, the Ontario government is faced with the problem of making a decision in the near future as to the fate of the Cochâ€" raneâ€"Moosonee extension of the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario Railway. The fact that at the present tinv> there is little or no passenger or freight trafâ€" fic, although a weekly service is operâ€" ated to the James Bay terminus, sugâ€" gests that the economic results to be derived from continued maintenance of the line are next to nothing. In the absence of profitable business the rightâ€"ofâ€"way has not been kept in firstlclass condition, and if operation ¢f the branch is to be continued, unâ€" doubtedly many thousands of dollars will have to be spent on new ties, and other replacements during the ensuing few yvears.
