normal amount of distraction now its quite different isnt it plenty to read and hear in the world of war news navies armies and air forces blasting away all night and day so easy to fret about what one can do to help so easy to unconsciously forget that the very best thing to do at the moment is to do our usual daily tasks but do them better now about reporting to search out even a small amount of general news these days is no easy matter everywhere this reporter goes groups are talking about the war i toll you says one wars are fought and won by equipment and men immediately available and we british have been asleep and have to suffer now and so on it goes one opinion after another from east to west of the village and we suppose it is the same everywhere else thats why the reporter has an extra tough time well this week in this column we have tried to tell our readers something about the accomplishments of can ada during this struggle which after all are as good as the other democracies are making you see democrasies are different from dictatorships in many ways they must act more slowly because much cannot be accomplished un less a great majority of the people are favorable to the idea it took them a long time to become favorable to the present war and the crushing of hitlerism and thats why we were not ready tribune to be represented at the weekly press
