As we go to press, however, the voice of the majority is being heard and there is said to have been some delay in the introduction of the new measures, many of which would require provincial coâ€"operation. We are still a free people. We do not want prohibition. Gallup polls reflect this clearly. It is up to our representatives, therefore, to see that the insistent salesmen of prohibition do not work their foot too far into the door which has been opened respectfully for them. â€"An editorial reprinted from the October, 1942, issue of CANADIAN BUSINESS. The drys preach temperance, but their real objective is complete prohibition. If prohibition did make for moderationâ€"instead of excesses â€"there might be a sounder argument for it. But it doesn‘t. Prohibition stimulates drinking, and under it the criterion for liquor degenerates to its power to stupefy. The dry pressure group, however, has been careful not to advocate prohibition. They know that only 29 per cent. of the people would support such demands. So they edge in with pleas to protect the men in the armed forces. Unfortunately our fighting forces are too busy to send opposing delegations to Ottawa. For a time the drys gave the impression of having had their way. Those who know the technique of pressure groups and the ways of the prohibitionists in educating a generation which had come to regard all alcoholic beverages as something which must be used to excessâ€"which was one result of prohibition. Prohibition does not prohibit. Both in Canada and in the United States, records indicate that more drinking is done in dry areas than in those which are under sane control. Observation points to more drunkards per square mile as well. Naturally we are interested in the advertising aspect of the situaâ€" tion. Yet we can honestly say that we sincerely believe that more has been done by the liquor people themselves to promote temperance than has been accomplished by the drys with all their distorted arguments. Those who make whiskey urge moderationâ€"sensible moderation. Similarly the beer and wine companies have been equally successful Just before he resigned from the Cabinet, the Hon. J. T. Thorson announced that one "stage" of the Government‘s plan to restrict liquor consumption would shortly be put into effect. The small pressure group which had been badgering the Government rubbed its hands. So did shiftyâ€"eyed men who saw easy pickings serving the public with questionable liquor in questionable surroundings. R Press reports have been suggesting that the Government will take steps which, at first glance, may appear to produce little more than inconvenience for the legitimate buyer or the legitimate seller. The only one who would seem to gain would be the bootlegger. Any enâ€" forced deterioration in quality would help him. Shorter hours of sale would react to his benefit, and the elimination of all advertising of beer, wine and liquor would give the illicit product that much more advantage. Perhaps Hitler and his minions, high and low, are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall. Perhaps they are remembering that twentyâ€"four years ago it was mutiny in the fleet at Wilhelmshaven that sowed the seeds of defeat in an army and navy and a people who no longer believed themselves capable of enduring for victory. § â€"Joseph Lister Rutledge, in Liberty. In the last war a policy of silence regarding the fate of German Uâ€"boats is known to have destroyed the morale of German submarine crews as no record of disaster would have done. The same wall of silence has been wrapped about that German service in this war, yet a short while ago Britain‘s First Lord of the Admiralty spoke for the United Nations with a startling announcement. Five hundred and thirty German Uâ€"boats have been destroyed or damaged. It is reasonable to belief that so dramatic a change in policy sprang from the sure knowâ€" ledge that morale in that German service was aiready so bad that a sudden sharp blow might destroy it. . But to Hitler and his crew the most ominous news must be that their army of 200,000 men in Norway has been wholly unable to control that country. Worse still to their ears must be the repeated record of suicides and mutinies and desertions within the ranks of the occupying army, happenings that they dare not suppress with their customary ruthlessness. Whatever Hitler or his generals may say, whatever the still apparent power of their mighty thrusts in Ru{uia, the soldiers of Gorizia and Bulgaria, the soldiers of the German master war machine in Norway and Finland know that Field Marshal Jan Christiaan Smuts was right when he said: "The German army is bleeding to death in Russia." They wanrt no part of it, The oily Laval has not pleased his German masters, and he has been warned that an undercover army of two million Frenchmen will defy further attempts to sell them to the enemy. Greece is subdued and desperate in its starvation. Poland is still defiant, a festering hotbed of revolt against aggression. Even little Denmark, that was to be the "model protectorate," to be treated with "kindness and>tactfulness," has been so definite in its passive resistance that that tactfulness has been relegated to the limbo of unâ€"Germanic things to be replaced by 600 Gestapo agents supervising the accustomed German kindness of the concentration camp and the firing squad. There is a well authenticated story of the Italian Alpine regiment, cream of the Italian army, in open mutiny at Gorizia and entraining for the Russian front without arms and with their ringleaders shot before their eyes. A nation, stupidly vain, has tried to impose its New Order on conquered peoples. It has neither convinced them by crafty treacheries nor subdued them by abomigable crueities. In all the conquered counâ€" tries the spirit of revolt is burgeoning anew. Military law in Serbia and Bosnia and Greece and Norway; military law and the neverâ€" ending rattle of musketry of the firing squads has lost all power to terrorize a people. German agents are killed by bombs in Charleroi, Belgium; in Paris, in Prague. Mysterious accidents are crippling vital railroads. Luxemburgers are being driven to slavery in German war plants; but in the ironworks of the little kingdom, strikes and slowâ€" downs are still the rule. In all the lands of the Slovenes, what began as guerrilla operations are rapidly becoming a regular campaign. It would be a very wiseâ€"or a very foolishâ€"man who would dare to prophesy just when the war will end. But, whenever the end may be, whether in 1943 or 1944, or even 1945, the handwriting is on the wall today. It shows in the breaking morale that is driving our enemies to even greater excesses. Every new cruelty evidences just one thingâ€" that the nations whose morale is unassailable, whose will to go all out forâ€"victory is burning high, have that victory in their grasp today.

More than 400 sttended. _ "In addition, the war is piling up tremendous demands for all proâ€" ‘ducu due to the inability of the public to purchase many items.

The speaker contended that alâ€" ready Canadian business should be considering what program will proâ€" vide most betterment for the masses of people and 1 believe free busiâ€" ness enterprise is the best course." ‘Mr. Jellett said he did not think government controlled enterprise would be desirable in peacetime because deficits could be made up out of taxation." _ "Business, after the war, must be ready to accept the resronsibility to rrevem mass unemp oyment and or selective service," the speaker continued. He warned however that in having the government reâ€" lax control, "the brakes must be ’arplied somewhere". "The people of Canada will not want to carry the ‘revolution‘ all the way to a dictatorship," he stated. _ â€" that in peacetime private and free enterprise is the best basis on which business can be established. "But when business again has its right, it must realize heavy reâ€" sponsibilities go with those rights," he declared. These pictures can be enlarged to tremendous size. At some of the stations, the editors saw pictures about five or six feet square, mounted on _ heavy _ cardboard, which could be studied in very great detail. In many cases there were pictures of the same location taken before and after the raid, and the comparison was most inâ€" teresting. The day after we watched the German raid in the neighborhood at night, the following reference to it appeared in the district paâ€" pers, "A number of people were rendered homeless, and emergency feedingâ€"centres were opened durâ€" ing the night after an enemy air attack on a Northeast town. There were a number of casualties". not fool the R.A.F. for they know exactly where they fell and what damage they did. free. How often do you go about having a good time forgetting all about the blessed Lord Jesus dyâ€" ing in your stead. I suppose you think it would be very cruel for Barabbas to laugh at the One who so gaciously took his place in death. How often do you laugh at the servants of God who are preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His love? How often do you take the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus in a vain sinful way? Fxodus 20:7. Have you ever come to the feet of Jesus and thanked Him from the depth of your heart, for dying in your stead, and saving your soul from an endless doom. Dear friend if you will trust in the finished work of Christ on the cross you will be saved from your sins. Yes saved from past, present and future sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only beâ€" ‘gotten Son that whosoever believâ€" eth in Him should not perish but ‘hnve everlasting life. St. John 3: 16. Dear friend if you don‘t know if you are saved, it must be because you don‘t believe in Christ. Whosoever believeth in ‘Him shall not perish. Almost everybody claims to belfeve in Jeâ€" sus Christ, but if you ask them if they are saved they don‘t know. Is this your case?
