Incidentally we are chiefly responâ€" sible for this warm and glorious April weather. We got a terrible shock when we thought we were winning in Norway and found we were not. It isn‘t that we are told anything that isn‘t true. It‘s the confident way that the BBC man says our withdraiwal "is accordâ€" inz to plan" that misleads one if we are simply being pushed around.

Since then neither mountains, nor sand, nor rain nor anything in nature have been able to stop a modern army after it has started to roll. Nothing but a bigger armyâ€"or God. Sugar Coating The British press does well ito deâ€" mand the sugar coating be removed from the news, They are tire myths about the imâ€" possibility of doing this or that "in mountainous â€" terrain," "during the rainy season," "over the desent sands," and so on. There is nothing enduring in modern wartare. It is fluid rather than static. You can chase an enemy for a thouâ€" sand milesâ€"then get chased right back againâ€"and don‘t we know it. Foreign? ? ? A Canadian firm of radio manufacâ€" turers advises the public ‘to "listen to foreign broadcasts in English from London, Berlin, Rome, ete." Well, they put London first.

Wri‘ing last week in his column in The Toronto Telegram, Thomas Richâ€" ard Henry says : Keep Cool For our peace of mind, probably we should not become too elated over vicâ€" tories, or too cast down aver defeats. Not Dimaved s the when to Of course for Mussolini the paraâ€" phrasing is obvious: "Never have so many run so fast from so iew." As we have said before, there should be a clear distinction made between our engazements with the TItalians, and our engagements with the enemy. The other is the right of every nation to enslave other nations if it can asâ€" semble enough milt.ary strength.

"Surelyv there is some way of supâ€" pressing such drivel as expounded by YMCA Director Angus M.

Solving of this problem is the main triumph of the US. Navy in this war so farâ€"but give them time. Fundamental Principles There are those among us who belit‘ve Mat this war is a clash of fundamntal principles, rather than a fight between our own nation and others. One principle is fairness, jus‘tice and equity in the relationship between naâ€" tions. "Last weekâ€"end at Trenton when all the boys were given their weekâ€"end, a staff car drove along the highway makingz the cadets keep to ‘the sidewalk and not show motorists that they wolulq like a liftâ€"and it certainly is a long walk from Trenton to Montreal or ‘Toronto." "Whatalifeâ€"2 Weeks in â€" Service" writes: A cadet‘s sis‘ter writes: "My brother, who is at the Manâ€" ning Pool, has been unable to obtain his size of a service cap, cost (85c). However, the boys can go downtown and buy all they want at $2.50 of all sizes. Why can‘t Manning Pool get delivery of all popular sizes?" Over the rising tide of their miurth we learned that one of them had tried on a hat backwards. Strange A group of jyoung ladies came ou! of a millinery shop the cther day. Gigzles rose in volume as the dootr closed behind them. What amazed us was who di the error ang how it was done aware of my inability to do so adequâ€" ately. The generosity,* the organizaâ€" tion and the sheer hard work which one knows were all necessary to mak» such a shipping order possible, are raâ€" ther staggering and I regard the reâ€" sult not only as so many garments, each helping to make a sailor more comfortable and more efficient, but as a very pleasant proof of the spirit beâ€" hind Canada‘s war effort. Please acâ€" cept the most grateful thanks and very best wishes of us all." To dute the Canadian Red Cross has svoont $266,000 in supplies and facilities for sailors in |Canadian ports. "It was a very pleasant proof of the spirit behind Canada‘s effort," Comâ€" mander Pugh Cook wrote Red Cross officials when he acknowledged thne supplies. "I wish to convey the thanks not only of myself, but of the entire ship‘s company for the huge consignâ€" ment of really magnifi¢cent comfo:ts received on board, but I am painfully Later on, however, the George V turned up in another port where diiterâ€" ent Red Cross officials told Commaniâ€" er Pugh Cook woollen comforts for the sailors coulq be placed at his disposal. It was then that the commander adâ€" mitted he could still use many more sweaters, helmets, mitts and so forth but that he thought outfitting .200 British sailors wasâ€"asking too muchn of Canadian generosity. Since the Canâ€" adian Red Cross maintains supplies worth $100,000 just to equip needy sailors, the British commander‘s secâ€" ond requisition was readily filled and every seaman on the George V got Ius share of woollen comforts, When the nuge oattieship arrived in port, officials of the Red Cross went on board and offereq to the comman:|â€" er, G. G. Pugh Cook, any assistance he might need for his men. The Engâ€" lishman, with native reticence, preoâ€" sented quite a modest list of comforts adding he would be grateful if the reâ€" quisition could be filled because his men did not have sufficient warm clothing. Red Cross officials delivered the goods, Commamier Pugh Cook was most apâ€" preéeciative. Sailors of H. M. 8.
