Newspapers and the radioâ€"and especially the radioâ€"suggest the possibilityâ€"even the probability â€"of another world war. As one newspaper phrases it:â€"*"The nations of the world have been defied by Germany‘s conquest of Austria," There was a treaty, agreed to by practically all the nations of the world, whereby the union of Germany and Austria was forbidden in tha cause of European peace. Germany‘s defiance of this treaty and its military occupation of Austria, together with the imprisonment of literally thousands of the leading citizens of Austria opposed to such procedure, is an offensive pill for the other nations to swallow. Years ago it would have meant immediate declaraâ€" tion of war by the other nations, but in recent years the civilized nations have drilled themselves into the swallowing of objectionable medicine. Indeed, there is every reason to believe that the very anxiety of some of the nations to avoid war at any cost of pride or right, has been the most fruitâ€" ful source of the continuing causes for just war. Had Germany not believed that Britain, France, Italy, would stand idly by while the invasion of Austria was accomplished, it is doubtful if even the madman Hitle» would have gone on with his geliberate affront to all the nations of the world. However, he had the example of Italy in the Ethiopian case, and Japan in the rape of China to encourage him in the belief that the march on Austria woulid not stir the other nations to any. action. It is true that the conquest of Austria by Hitler in itself is bearable by the other nations. Italy, perhaps, will be the most aï¬ected'directly.f and Italyâ€"if only assured that the Austrian venâ€" ture would end German ambitionâ€"might pass the project without protest. Italy, however, has a feeling that Czechoslovakia will be next, and in the case of the German domination of that counâ€" try, Italy would undoubtedly find that German arrogance clashed enough with Italian interests to force more than mere protest. It appears that recent incidents prove the talent of, Premier Chamberlain‘s diplomacy. With the Germans and Italians fully united against the rest of Europe,| it is evident that there could be no peace in Europe in this generation. Premier Chamberlain‘s policy | seems to be to avert war if possible, and in any case to divide Nazis and Fascists, so that the more democratic governments would have a better fighting chance. Present indications suggest that Every year the people of the North are forced to read of tragedies at the homes of settlers in isoiatâ€" ed sections of the country. Theseâ€"are tragedies resulting from fires that destroy the homes of the settlers. In too many of these cases loss of life acâ€" panies the loss of property by fire. Whenever there are deaths from this cause, the circumâ€" stances are very carefully investigated by the chief coroner for the district, Magistrate E. R. Tucker, of Cochrane. It is more than interesting to note the conclusions of the chief coroner in regard to these tragic fires. Chief Coroner Tucker is conâ€" vinced that most of the fires could be avoided were minor changes made in the homes of the settlers. Usually these fires are caused by improper chimâ€" neys or by stovepipes passing unprotected through light partitions. The chief cause of the deaths is the trapping of the family through the improper placing of stoves. *In several recent cases it was found that the fire originated near the stove, and the stove was set at the foot of the stairs or near the bedroom door, the family thus having to pass right through the main body of fire to escape from the burning building. Lack of windows in bedâ€" rooms added to the risk. At several inquests the chief coroner has pointed out that had the settler been well advised, he might have protected himâ€" self and family without any material added cost. The matter has been repeatedly called to the atâ€" tention of the provincial authorities, and suggesâ€" tion made for the protection of settlers, and their families in this matter. All that is needed is the extension of the authority of the fire rangers. The fire rangers now inspect the settler‘s land for fire risks. This inspection should be extended to the settler‘s residence. The fire rangers now advise and warn settlers against fire risks on their lands. This should be extended so that the settler would be advised and warned against the fire dangers in the homes. The fire rangers have the confidâ€" ence of the settlers and could easily persuade them to use guards for stovepipes passing through partiâ€" tions and to see that the chimneys are not a fire danger in the home. Warning and advice could be given im regard to the position of stoves and the necessity for windows or other means of escape in case of fire. This plan would not involve any exâ€" pense or increase of staff for inspection. All that is needed is the extension of the iï¬spection by fire rangers to homes as well as to lands,. The Govâ€" should take prompt action to save furâ€"| ther loss of life. xt Subscription Rates Canadaâ€"â€"$3.00 Per Year.

There are pioneers of the , Porcupine who sing the Cobalt song with a fervour that they do not always bring to the Porcupine Songs. There are pioneers of Kirkland Lake who will find a greater joy in singing the Porcupine Songs than they will ever be able to give to Kirkâ€" dand Lake‘s prizeâ€"winning poem. There is grave danger that Kirkland Lake has waited too long for its theme song. The song of toâ€"day lacks the inâ€" spiration. the true heart touch, that comes from memories and associations that gather round a gong rendered as a very battle cry, a song of praise, of joy, of comfort, of incentive to carrying on when days were dark and nights were long, but men and women and the youngsters proved themselves good fellows all. names, thunder out about "rings on our fingers and bells on our ‘toes" and "Pâ€"Qâ€"Râ€"Câ€"Uâ€" Pâ€"Iâ€"Nâ€"E," lyric qualities are forgotten in the "But it‘s hobnail boots and flannel shirt in Cobalt town for mine," sense and metre are of little conâ€" cern. Rather there comes to the mind and the heart the former times when that song was chantâ€" ed in a new, hard land, where goodfellowship turnâ€" ed danger and hardship into happy larks. When mining men with impressive degrees behind their "the best old town," or any of the Porcupine Songs. True enough, but it isn‘t the poetry that immortâ€" alizes the songs of the Cobalt and Porcupine camps, but the associations and the memories clustering round them. When a group of univerâ€" sity graduates give their whole hearts to singing The prize winning Kirkland Lake song is pubâ€" lished elsewhere in this issue. As a piece of poetry the prizeâ€"winner got much better then the ordinâ€" ary publisher‘s rates for this form of verse. It may be argued that it is just as good poetry, and even more sensible and logical than the song about Kirkland Lake at last has a song of its own, and now feels on an equality with Cobalt and Porcuâ€" pine. The new song is to be sung this week at the annual meeting of the Canadian Institute of Minâ€" ing and Metallurgy. At previous meetings of the mining men, the rafters rattled with the Cobalt Song, and the steel beams quivered as the Porcuâ€" jine men thundered one or other of their two ditties. On those occasions Kirkland Lake patriots felt sad and forlornâ€"after joining heartily in the songs for Cobalt and Porcupine. Kirkland Lake hadn‘t a song of its own. It was too bad! ~Something had to be done about it. Kirkâ€" land Lake men felt that Kirkland Lake simply must have its own songâ€"even if it cost $150 to get one. When that Westeérn newspaperman, MciInâ€" tosh, of North Battleford, renewed his battle for a Canadian flag, the die was set. If the Union Jack wasn‘t good enough for Canada, then surely Kirkland Lake could not be expected to sing the Cobalt Song and the Porcupine Songs and not have a distinctive ditty of its own. So the Kirkland Lake boys got togetherâ€"got together $150 as wellâ€"and advertised for a Kirkland Lake song. ~ather startling toâ€"day to see these people throw aside all their pacificist principles and attempt to force Great Britain into battle. It may be, howâ€" ever, that beneathi the surface Premier Chamberâ€" lain‘s diplomacy and statesmanship is doing its work. He has apparently forced the pacificists and the peaceâ€"atâ€"anyâ€"price people to clamour for war. There is reason to believe that the great mass of the people of the Empire is behind the policy of Prentfier Chamberlainâ€"to avoid war if possible, but at the same time to stand by the right and by the allies of Great Britain. Should war be forced upon Great Britain, despite all efforts to© avoid it, short of dishonour and disgrace, the British Government will have the support of all loyal citizens, with the additional advantage that those who have been attempting to prevent Briâ€" tain‘s preparedness for confiict will be in the foreâ€" {ront of those urging defence to the limit and deâ€" of those who have dared to scorn British ‘deals.
