The cost to Canada, of World War II, is estimated to be between cightcen and nineteen ,bi‘lions of aollars toâ€"date. The cost of veterans‘ and dependents‘ pensions, rehabilitation, etc., will, it is anticipated, level off at about two hundred millions of dollars anâ€" nually, and remain at that level for some years. Taking into conâ€" sideration that the figure given for the cost of the war is largely in terms of dollars at the value they were in 1939, and continued expenditure on veterans‘ rehabilitation, pensions, etc., we feel we are being extremely conservative in estimating the cost of a future oA e o o se EM Authorized as sec It our figure bear an relation to fact, and we believe they do, this country would be money ahead if it spent a billion dollars a year on aefence for the next twenty years, in a successful effort to prevent a war. Then, too, consider those losses which cannot be measured in terms of dollars or any other tangible standard, the appalling loss of life, of freedom and of moral values. We cannot spend too much money to prevent what no one in even a partially sane conâ€" dition could honestly desire. A we stated above that an expenditure of a killion dollars a year would not be an inordinate sum to pay for defence insurance aâ€" gainst war. That is quite true, and we could make the money a â€" vaillable if we had the will to sacrifice to the necessary extent. Should Canada then, make such an enormous defence appropriaâ€" tian at this time? _ We think not, for the very practical reason that.such a sum could not be effectively and usefully spent during the fiscal year just about to start, or even in the succeeding fisâ€" cal year. Defence material cannot be manufactuned overnight, months and months of production planning, tooling and engineerâ€" ing are required, so that even if our economy and our morale cou‘!d stand such an increased appropriation, we could not succeed in making full use of it. _ This situation makes effective planning all tiie more urgent. Throughout the centuries, in spite of times of oppression and the ceasless efforts of tyrants to crush mans‘ free soul, the torch o1 freedom has ever been lifted high, and has never been quite 2xâ€" tinguished. Many years before the crystalization of the Four Freedoms we had our (,lmmplmns our Empire Loyalists and our Jane Addamsâ€"â€"all bearing *the sacred fire of mans knowledge and en‘ightment. Then crash, came the first world war, the torch held high flickâ€" cred, but count‘oss brave â€"men and women kept it alight and through innumerable terrors. _ At last, thirty one years ago there was rejoicing everywhere. "The great war is over!" â€" There will be no more warsâ€"â€"Democracy is safe"" Drums blared, flags flew, streamers blew in the winds wake, men shouted, women wept for joy. The lights of the torch seemed to flash forth again with reâ€" newed brilliancy. . Now, in 1949 several years after an even greater more devastating war, the lights are on again; not only the lights 0f Londanâ€"â€"that phrase of moving and romantic soundâ€"â€"but the lights of hope in men‘s hearts, lights fed from the torch which has ever refused to fail. _ These days the world is looking with eager joy for peace, a peace that last not for twenty or twentyâ€"five vears of growing suspicion and fear, but with increasing strength throughout the generations. But how are we, you and I, going to fan that torch of freedom into the steady, unflickering light of peace? _ There is an interâ€" esting old custom in some of the Eastern churches at various times oi the year. From the surrounding villages and houses people throng to the church where burns a great taper and light their litâ€" tle candles therat and then run home again with these lighted candles, that each house may have its own individual light. Thus the town is lighted. Prejudiceâ€"â€"preâ€"judgement, decision without suflTicient knowâ€" ledge, caused more often than not by ignorance and fear. We, you and I are all subject to this disease, this common human plaâ€" gue. We shroud it under such nice terms as realism, clearâ€"sightâ€" edness, even honesty of mind, and we are pat to condemn lack of prejudice as silly sentimentality and foo‘ ish broadmindedness. However, the continuance of the torch of freedom depends on the "common Man‘s‘"‘ possession of light and his growing freedom from narrow prejudice. Instead of fear from political creed, for example, we might learn through our libraries, radios and newspaper articles, what is its reot and cause and progress. Instead of one fearing and conâ€" demning another with no personal knowledge of the facts, only hecause ‘"They say‘", we might use the same method of gaining light. . Likewise with those of differing religious faiths, knowledge very frequently dispels fear and prejudice. It is ourse‘ves we mu:st lirst train to judge with fairness and knowledge the various quesâ€" tions Oof the present day, not being swept along by others‘ opinions, not being held back by our own, but eager at all times to hold aloit the torch of freedom of thought and of act. wWith the advent of the budget due in the relatively near future. two aspects of this document are uppermost in the minds of all of us since the decisions made on these 4wo related matters affect each of us personally. . The first is reduction of taxation and the second is a probable increase in defence expenditure. Tha onct ta Canada. of World War II, is estimated to be between N2 nc * 4 ic Pe dnc w on t l 2 war, tor a similar lefigth of time to be not less than thirty billions ol dollars at today‘s dollar values. In the wondrous city of Rome, many centuries ago, there was a sacred fire, a fire whose lights was so precious that there were maidens specia‘lly set apart and dedicated to the work of mainâ€" taining this holy fire, for should its light be ever extinguished or so said the Roman sagesâ€"â€"the City on the Seven Hills wou‘d fall and that great glorious source of western civilization would be lost. Growing boys‘ and girls‘ often set their elders an example by their readiness to consider, to judge, to discuss and not to form an opâ€" mion without grounds for decision. . They may be too ready to cast aull the shack‘es of the past, we may be too slow to grasp the new idea of the future. Both the present and the rising generation surely should aim alike to hold fast to the rock of principle withâ€" out wavering, to cherish what is worth cherishing in the past, to reach out to what is fresh and vital in the future, remembering alâ€" ways that each generation hands on to the next the torch of freeâ€" dom, that unexcelled gift,.of heaven to man. May it be said of us, the ordinary people. what once was said of the little peopie of England; "Each dawn shal‘ tell how they arose in humble cheerfulness to light their tiny corner of the earth with a candle of faith; each sunset shall be a {flaming beacon to remind all men of their burning steadfastness". So bear aloft the torch of to‘erance and understanding, that not only an armistice be signed but that peaceâ€"â€"permanent peaceâ€"â€"shall come to our everyâ€" day living, that peace in all its wondrous glory shail come upon earth. In the world sphere today we cannot hope, each one of us, to light the great lights, but what about the individual ones for which only we as indivduals are responsible? If we, the great mass of ordinary people, want freedom to come and to last, we must crush within ourselves â€"â€" each one of us, within each ordinary unimportâ€" antâ€"seeming soulâ€"â€"prejudice, that damning extinguisher of the light.

Under the Ontario Temperance Act, sorts and condition of inhuman sulations and restrictions were put on the purchase ,.sale, transportaâ€" n, importation, inspiration, use and usc of the one liquid that a maâ€" rity of men consider the only safe d pleasant to imbibe. The law emed to boil down to the proposiâ€" m that about the only way a man uld lawfully secure a drink was to cure a doctor‘s prescription. "It‘s We don‘t come home from work like other people. _ We come home later. So it was that the other night we came passed our favourite coffee spot just as the proprietor was closing up shop, "Closed?" we inquired. "Yes," he said, then added patronizingly, ‘"but if there is something you want. . . ." he cut short the sentence, turned on his shop lights and went behind the counter. y We stood still; halfway through the door, thus allowing the cold night air to flow into the store. _ The proprietor blew on his hands, "Well?" We began backing up, thinking that the amount of money we intended to spend would hardly compensate the man for his labour after hours, "No thank you," we mumbled. . "It‘s alright." We walked off.

The man was draped over the countér, his head cradled in his arms. â€" He had been visâ€" ib‘y shaken by something. _ But then, he‘s a very queer fellow. , There are times when he reminds us of Harry, a confused friend of ours.

Me stopped the bus and threw off both Harry and yours truly. "Well," Harry said, as he climbed out of the snow bank, "what do you think of that?" Monestly, there are times when we don‘t know what to think. "No, no," he said, his voice gone to a chiding moan. _ "That‘s not the point. _ The point is, that if there are no wigs in Russia then the people, and especially the leaders of the nation will have to remain as bald as the Communist doctrines are senseless." He was convulsed witnh laughter. "What do you think of it?" he roared out. What do you think of it?" But before we could tell him what we thought of it, regardless of our aversion to Communism and with respect to the purpose of the column we write, Harry had become engaged in lively argument with the man who had previously asked him to shut up. We rode home on the bus with Harry last night. . We were wedged into the same corner. $ "Listen," Harry said. "I‘ve got a marvellous idea for that colnmn of yours."

What that n popular cirâ€" down in these By J. L. W. THE FORCUPINE ADVANCE TIMMINS, ONTARIYU At the time, The Porcupine Advance pointed out that these purchasers of Aqucor would have lots of friends, as long as the wet goods lasted, but that no one should imagine that the Porâ€" ecrpine was any worse than o t her parts of the country,. Mention was made of the fact that according to official figures, six million dollars‘ worth of liquor was shipped from Monâ€" tie:1 to Ontario points during that fateful month of March, ,918. "One farmer in Eastern Ontario," The Aq4â€" vance said, "actually mortgaged his farm for $3,000, and speat the proâ€" ceeds buying booze. Now, the license inspector is spending all his time watching that farmer, and so are some othor people." There was mire or dJess worldâ€"wide belief among men that no anniversary or other worthwhile event could be properly celebrated if John Barleyâ€" corn, or some of his descendants, could not be prescut. Timmins and district had its firm adherents to this ecmfoirting belief. There were birthâ€" days, weddings patriotic causes and events to be celebrated nearly every day, and sometimes twice on Sundays. There is a tradition in the Porcupine that a Timmins man cabled General Foch not to consider any armistice with the Huns until Ttmmins had a supply of dqrinkables on hand ready for the event. Before the Ontario Temperance Act P:rcupine people could lawfully imâ€" port their celebration needs and ncâ€" cessities. On Christmas Eve of 1917, there were three truckloads cf liquor at the Timmins railway station, and fully three hundred people there waitâ€" ing for the release of the holidlay cheer. Though the night train was three hours late in arriving here, those throe» hundred good people waited batiently and goodhumouredly, passâ€" ing the time in wishing each other ‘"Merry Christmas!" The advent of the Ontario Temâ€" perance Act, however, madle it imposâ€" sible to get in the chief ingredient of celetkrations in the ordinary way. Provincial police haunted the freight sheds and express cffices. It was imâ€" possible to bring in liquor under its crdinary names. But, the ingenuity cf the people rose to the occasion. Intoxicants came North under almost every imaginable label. Some of the shipments were plainly marked "Groâ€" ccoies," "Butter," "Olives,". Dry Goods" "Slippers,", "Vinegar," and even "Coal Oil." However, as one blindpigger here said at the time, "The police are better at smelling that, at reading, or believing what thoy read," and as n consequence many cf the,. shipments never reached their intcaded destinaâ€" tion. The addresses, by the way, often as misleading as the stated conâ€" tonts of the parcels. As soon as consignees learned that the police wcee too interested in the shipments, the consignee seemedi to lose their interest. and as a consequence many parcels were left uncalled" for. Among the odd parcels uncalled for in the end were a couple of plaster cf paris pillars or pedestals. Although they were wrapped in building paper, they showed plainly on the surface what they were. Quite eveidently they were pillars or pedestals. Unâ€" fortunately, they were banged during teh express trip. am some of them started to leak. The faint smell of liquor seemed to bring Provincial Inâ€" spector Rowell and License Inspector Blackwall instantly to the scene. Inâ€" vestigation showed that while the pilâ€" lars were plastered all right on the outside, the inside was of tin, and contained several gallons of the gocds that would make anyone who drank it "plastered" all right. Later in the year, Inspector Rowell discovered a lady bringing in liquor in a tin bustle., One cof the stories told1 about these diszuised shipments to unknown adâ€" dresses concerns two barrels plainly marked as containing "vinegar." With their proverbial perversity, the Proâ€" vincial police stuspected that the soâ€" called "vinczar" was in reality some more popular form of liquid.. The two barrels were deliberately left on the high plat{orm in front of the frcight shed. The police; it was said, hid them.

In view of the Molotov shift Friday, the fact that Moscow‘s radio attempt ed just a few days ago to make his name synonymous with a‘thappy proletar ial is significant in interpreting inner Soviet politics and wonld tacties.
