Timmins, Ont., Thursday, April, 22nd There has been a lot of thoughtliess nonsens talked about what is going to happen after th war is over. Some people suggest that there wil be a new heaven and a new earth combined in on though it be necessary to raise a third well known world to achieve the end foretold. Ther are too many with too much knowledge of afte the war and perhaps not even a foggy idea 0 when the war will be won. The pressing imme diate task, of course, is to win the war first of al but at the same time it would be unfortunate i people were caught as little prepared for after th war as they were for the war itself. Consequentl it may not be out of place to give a little though in spare moments to the days that will follow vic tory. It would be well, however, to avoid careles thinking or the following of slogans and prejudice propaganda. Particularly, should there be persi® tent refusal to follow the theories and phllocophu of the fellows whico led tho civilized wor in the days when pacifism, isolationist TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 TIMMIX®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Woeekiy Newsepaper Association; Onlario Wt P AP P â€"AP A 4* C OOWmooooooooooooooo and happiness under,Britisn aemocracy. iL i. that perfection has not been at ained eve: the British flag, but will the ideal ever preval anywhere, so long as peopie remain, human‘: ‘U: der British democracy there has been a Sreav measure of the four freedoms than in any Other land. History and experience alike bear this out. Perhaps, the progress has not been so spectacular as in some other cases, but it has been sure and certain, and it has been won in the main with less of brutality and bloodshed than has been the case in other nations. Accordingly it does seem the reasonable and logical plan would be to attempt to see what may be done to improve or extend Briâ€" ‘ tish democracy to meet new needs and new desires. Instead of that thought, however, there appears to . be a regular craze to adopt something "new." The tendency appears to be on a par with the logic of . the man who would destroy his house because tho!; chimney was not high enough or the doors someâ€". times squeaked when they were opened. This tenâ€" dency has not been confined to Camada or this continent, It was a worldâ€"wide fallacy. Hitler hypotized his nation with his grandiloquent "new order." Mussolini had his "new" plan. So had the soviet leaders in Russia. History will not take away any stars from solomon‘s crown of wisdom for saying that there is no "new" thing under the sun. Hitler‘s "new" order came, from the dark ages, from India, of all places. Mussolini‘s "new" plan was no more than a variation of Schickigruâ€" ber‘s scheme. Russia was a little more modern, going back only a hundred years to Kiarl Marx, who, however, in his day had searched the cenâ€" turies for his theories. It is an odd thing that Briâ€" tish people should consider these outworn creeds when the British ideal was so nruch more attracâ€" tive hd so much more practical. Yet the fact remains that many people, whether consciously or not, have been leaning towards these shopâ€" worn theories, when they were already under a system that actually gave them more than any of the dictatorships ever promised. It is interesting to note the slogans prominently displayed these days. They take many forms, but the underlying idea in each of them is the same. "There will be great changes after the war‘!" "Eyerything will be different after the war!" "A complete change of system is needed!" So they go! The inference is that there will be very drasâ€" tic changes aiter the war. That, however, is not the British way. The British make haste slowly, ang as a consequence get there sooner and hold all gains. The trouble with all "new" cconomi cal dogmas is that they are aiway, pictured Ehe Voroumpine Advance enforce prcacliL d Wy LA LE LLAGE UAM § AM .

He gave graphic illustration of this comradeship and stressed the fact that these gallant men who were risking their | lives and giving their lives were not selfish or hard, but that they comforted and cheered each other, always seemed to think of each other, never missed a chance to help another, stood solidly one with ' another, and showed a kindliness, an understandâ€" | ing, an unselfishness that warmed the heart. “‘Why cannot this comradeship return with theni | to Canada when the war is over?" he asked "Why | cannot there be this comradeship, inâ€" ! stead of greed and envy and selfishness and merâ€" 11 The fact is that the feeling of comradeship will not perish even with the coming of Victory. There was the same comradeship in the last war, and it did‘not flail. Perhaps, the best proof of that fact is the strength of the Canadian Legion of Briâ€" tish Empire Service League. The Legion is simply an, organization of men who knew the comradeâ€" ship of days of danger and battleâ€"the comradeâ€" ship that faced death shoulder to shoulderâ€"the comradeship that is inevitable where each man depenas on his fellowâ€"the comradeship that is tested by hardship and peril. In the last war this comradeship did not remain overseas. It still lives in the hearts of the men who served together. T: has displayed itself in the work of the Legion. The men of the Legion who fought for all overseas, still cheer and comfort and support each other. With rare unselfishness the Legion has battled for pensions for the disabled, for full attention to the ill and wounded, for employment for all needâ€" ing work, for care of dependents, for the honour of those who gave their lives. In a word, the Legion has given service to all comrades of the last war, and this service has been extended to the fighting men of the present war.

Whether the election of a leader by a party convention will suit the people as well as a general provincial election remains to be seen. Whether there is a general election or not there should be some byâ€"elections in the province. Seven seats have been vacant literally for years. This District of South Cochrane is one of them.
