OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The Ontario Provincial Annual Meeting of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church met at Brockville from May 12th to 16th. The delegates were met at the station and taken to billets then to the church and given a warm welcome. Later entertained to supper in the First Presbyterian Church. A conference after opening with prayer and hymn, "God is Love", The question was asked why are we here--to renew friendships and ce- ment the provincial ties.

"It was said the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. We as mothers and women have failed in these times. We have lost the Christ. We have got to get back to find Him. The Church is not for Club Houses and entertainment, but for the true worship of God. Tuesday afternoon H.R.H. Princess Alice, Countess Athlone addressed us. She thanked the ladies sincerely for inviting her to the annual conference. She -gave us the new rendering of There'll Always Be An England."

But for military reasons she must remain on the island as long as possible as a men- ace to Germany. Even if Britain were - driven from the Mediterranean, the blockade of Germany would continue. She would simply abandon what is at present "a no man's land"'--a naval battle area, but not a free channel for commerce. The British loss of Crete, Cairo and Suez would be a great gain to Hitler. The question in the minds of many is--"How much more of conquest will Hitler require before he will be satisfied to launch his peace offensive?"' It must be noted that Germany has taken most of its force.to fight the Battle of the Mediterranean. England has had comparative quiet since then. k NO PEACE YET Only last year Hitler said that-- "Democracy. and Naziism are two sep- arate worlds, and cannot live side b; side. One of those worlds must brea asunder." Cp Can Hitler stop now?- Has he done enough to enable him to dictate peace terms? Can we trust any peace pro- posals Hitler might make? The answer is obvious. The war must go on. The advisers of Roosevelt are sug- gesting that he wait for public opinion to give him a push before he takes any further steps toward definite interven- tion. That must please Hitler. If the war ceased now, and Ger- many posed as a generous enemy, the whole of .Latin-America would urge ex- tended trade with the dominant power. Our trade difficulties would then begin. (Germany has no handicaps in the matter of making "piecrust" promises. Our greatest handicap is that we should expect him to keep those promises,. as we intended to keep any promises we made.
