page two stouffville ontario thursday october 13th 1938 established 1888 a member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription kates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher pickering farmer heads ontario county liberals notes and comments state intervention is bad state intervention in the economic life of the indiv idual and of the nation was announced as a step to condi tions existing in countries under the dictators by whmoore mp addressing a banquent of whitby chamber of com merce last week no man should be charged with and no man can fulfil the duties of regulating economic life cf any people mr moore declared pointing out that dictatorships were the product of the state seeking to regulate the peoples economic life and tell them what they can and can not do with the money they earn to show one of the results of state intervention in the countrys economic life for the benefit of any one class mr moore cited the federal legislation better known as farm credit the government dispensed it broadly over the country and politicians sang its praises throughout the country yet it was a policy which encouraged farmers to run into debt and we all know that the three most fateful words in the english language are i owe you had the government loaned money for instance to finance hard ware enterprises many in the business would have shut up shop because they could not withstand the competition which would be developed yet the government gave financial aid to farmers debts mounted and what had been the result overproduction in many instances berlin says uncle shylock during the heat of the threatened war over the world we were listening one evening to a speaker from berlin germany after having heard speakers from palis and london the german broadcast told of conditions in the big centre then made reference to german views on outside reaction to the stand of hitler coming to the united states he said this and what about uncle sam or as we know him over here uncle shylock no one knows where he stands the speaker went on to complain about the middle course taken by uncle sam and in his reference to shylock inferred that our neighbor to the south was more interest ed in dollars than in anything else the point is that even a nation of such great importance when it endeavours to keep out of war is mistrusted germans are told that uncle sam will step in where the most money is to be made and we suppose that is the belief in the minds of those people who are fed on political dope alone from hitlers machine peace and the people the monitor mobilized peace sentiment was the most notable feature of last weeks crisis every observer is agreed that never has popular insistence on peace been so powerful benito mussolini has never been able by the wildest war talk to evoke the enthusiasm he won as a peacemaker adolf hitler was acclaimed in germany for keeping the peace more than for winning sudetenland anyone who listened to mr chamberlains reception at heston airport could have no doubt about the british peoples feeling in every land it was the same the british prime minister reporting to the house of commons himself declares the strongest force of all was the unmistakable sense of unanimity among the peoples of the world that war somehow must be averted there can be no doubt about the peoples pressure for peace but there must remain a doubt whether war was averted at munich unless it be assumed both that chancellor hitler would have gone to war and that the present absence of open hostilities can be converted into genuine peace that doubt persists about the first it is now useless to debate although for future guidance it may be useful to find out whether herr hitler knew that he would not have to go to war be fore he committed himself about the second it is prob ably necessary for the present to wait and see what results mr chamberlains method of friendly consultation pro duces in the commons debate mr duff cooper and mr eden urged another method resistance they believe that mobilization of the fleet and the declaration that britain france and russia would support czechoslovakia if attacked were better instruments than concessions it must be said that earlier concessions have not achieved a firm peace since 193s the world has increased its expenditures for arms from 4000000000 to 17000- 000000 and almost before the munich ink is dry demands are heard for vast new increases that is one measure of how much peace has been made yet mr chamberlain believes that munich was only a prelude that it opens the way to genuine appeasement and then to disarmament there is certainly the hope that german desire for expansion can be fully occupied in peaceable lines for some time to come whether it will be peaceable whether real appeasement is possible should be clear in another year if by then there is not such a gain in security that the nations are at least ready to abandon the arms race it should be apparent that some return must be made to the collective security ideal and that there must be a firm stand before consultation can be really friendly and peaceproducing the people can well keep up the pressure for peace it is clear that munich did not fully express their desires or satisfy them it hardly did more than reflect an aversion of war that aversion is not the same thing as a positive peace purpose it can be exploited and abused by any threat of war it furnishes no firm foundation for a peace of justice reason and honor it is no more than a peace panic but the people have aspirations for genuine peace they will make sacrifices for it when the crisis was at its height it was not the people who flinched and they can find ways to make effective this just desire for peace pickering township farmer new party head mac forsyth a vicepresident james heffering well known farmer in the township of pick ering is the new president of the ontario riding liberal associa tion succeeding w a dryden of brooklin who resigned when he became general manager of the royal winter fair mr heffering was

a chance the president of the party in this riding should be elected for only one year for the man who fills the office must give constant consistent and hard effort a oneyear term would give youth a chance to ser ve mr thompson answering a charge that he had been a dis turber in the party said that the party needed disturbers and rebels who would keep the issues of the day before the people warden lyman a gifford said that he was not a candidate but expressed the opinion that with all due respect to mr mangan who had served the party faith fully and well and because it was likely that j

concession whit church interment was in aurora cemetery his wife predeceased him a foreign office spokesman announces that the internation al commission supervising ces sion of the sudetenland to ger many was confronted by new difficulties in delimitation of the fifth zone of occupation and the question of reparations for injus tices inflicted by the czechs on the sudentens since 1918 as the commission resumed its discussions last week spokes man indicated progress might be difficult from this point on hitherto it was easy as the four zones to be occupied by the german army before oct 8 were already fixed at munich and only certain technical details re mained he said the fifth zone will prove more difficult also there is the ques tion of reparations for the in justices inflicted by the czechs upon the sudetens since 1918 previously an inspired source close to the foreign office indi cated such reparations would be demanded of czechoslovakia just as soon as the sudetenland was completely in german hands the reparations it was said will be claimed not only on grounds of justice but also in the interests of peace these sources pointed out that it was essential that conditions be created for an amicable rela tionship between germany and czechoslovakia both nations it was argued desire to live as good neighbors to the other but a semiofficial commenta tor asserted this goal could not be reached if czechizations in the sudeten areas undertaken since 1918 when the czechoslo vak republic was born are overlooked it was indicated that ger- many would not consider the sudeten question solved unless reparations were paid there was no indication im mediately of the amount of re parations to be claimed or on what basis or how they are to be paid germany has taken over
