United States: $3.00 Per Yeas All this is said in no killâ€"joy spirit, but in the hopes that it may spur general thought towards better end. â€"As a matter of fact, it may not be a complete presentation of the case for the days after the war to suggest that the results of the ensuing days of peace were the fault only of the | politicians. The truth of the matter is that the politicians simply followed the lead of the people themselves. The peoples of the various nations were all tired of the war and of militarism and regimentation. They were so tired, indeed, that they were ready for any excuse, and willing, in effect, to accept peace before the war was really won. The war could only be won when the purâ€" poses for which it was fought had been achieved. No one studying history can believe that the purâ€" poses of the Allies in 1918 were achieved in that year or in the years that followed. It would be well, indeed, if the people of toâ€"day would steel themselves to suffer the war a little longer, so that the victory may be a real one and a lasting one. It is generally admitted toâ€"day that if Gerâ€" many had been invaded in 1918, if the German people had seen their capital in the hands of the Allied Nations, if the common people of Gerâ€" many had suffered a little war right in their own homeland, it might not have been so easy for the ~gangster Hitler to persuade them into their recent disastrous vicious venture. It is true that in this war the Germans have had the war brought right to their own doors, with the very doors« blown to pieces around them. It is true that thei German people have suffered the most absolute and complete defeat in all history. But Japan still remains to be dealt with. None of the gangâ€" ster nations should be allowed to escape the most thorough retribution. The horrors that have been revealed as the usual sadistic German proâ€" cedure in the treatment of conquered peoples and even to their own people who dared to differ with the Nazi doctrinesâ€"these horrors should spur all to determination that the peace to follow this war should not be a camouflaged structure for the housing of the munitions for the next war. It would be well for the people in general to look on the celebrations that have occured as ‘simply celebrations of battles as it wereâ€"simple stages in ' the path to true victory. With these battles now uuly celebrated, all should turr again to the real wlnning of the warâ€"the final winning of the mâ€"-â€"the completely crushing defeat of Japanâ€" ‘Bhe reâ€"establishment of the nations so grievously bmxessedâ€"-and the punishment of those responâ€" Timmins, Ontario, Thursday, May 10, 1945 All through the present war The Advance has maintained a spirit of confidence and cheerful assurance of final victory, believing ever in thel power of the Allied Nations, supported by the justice of their cause. The nobie words of King George VI some years ago, repeated in each issue of The Advance since they were spoken, apâ€" peared to make clear the way to eventual victory, The Allied Nations had the resources, the men, the money, the capacity, and, above all, the spirit that would win the victory over all the powers of darkness and of gangsterism, no matter the cost or the time needed. Even in what seemed to be the darkest days, there were facts and beliefs to maintain cheerfulness and courage. It is only when there seems to be a general feeling that the war is already won, that doubts begin and the fullest cheerfulness is hard to maintain. It was the same in regard to the last war, There were dark days in that struggle, too, but memories are notoriously short in such matters. Even in those threaterfiing times, however, there was every asâ€" surance ‘and every cheerfulness because the fightâ€" ing men of those days, like those of toâ€"day had| won confidence and belief, But when peace cé'me there seemed the depressing danger| that what the soldiers and the sailors and thel airmen had:â€"won by the risking of their lives and. the sacMifice of their lives might be lost through the stupfdity and the haste of the politicians. "It should fiot be forgotten," said The Advance in Novemb;é%, 1918, "that what the gallant soldiers have won on the way to victory may be lost by the professiï¬g statesmen."~ The Advance pointed out that unbï¬l the wrongs done by the Huns in 1914 to 19185fwe:re righted, so far as that were possible; until sterh punishment was meted out to the oï¬endeï¬s"'f‘:‘ until all the brave men who had given health and strength to win the victory were propâ€" erly rewarded and the families of those who had given their lives were fairly looked after; until preparations were made to prevent similar wars again; there could be no true peace, and little grounds for undue rejoicing. The record shows how little in reality there was to cheer in 1918. The war of toâ€"day is the proof itself of how badly the war was actually lost by others after it had been won by the gallant fighting men of the Allied Nations. TIMMINS, ONTARIO people are ready enough to brought by the war, it is not a ebration to have affairs so that celebration is the only time folk 4 The Advance has received a copy Of what isi referred to as a. unique plan for the days after the war. The copy is cleverly outlined in a book-! let of newspaper size pages. It points out thati the men of the navy, air force and army will be returning after the war and that they should. have assurance of profitable employment. Menâ€" tion is.made of those now working at munitionâ€" making. These, too, must be provided with emâ€" ployment. Emphasis is given to the fact that the conditions during the depression should not be allowed to repeat themselves. There is nothing unique so far. Prominence is given to Primeé Minister Churchill‘s statement that "The way to cure unemployment is to have no unemployment." Even that is not unique for all during the depresâ€" sion The Advance stressed the fact that the only way to cure unemployment was by employment Time and again The Advance referred to the fact that Canada needed roads, bridges, canals, public buildings and scores of other things. In times past these enterprises had been only undertaken in boom times when costs were high, and payment had to be made in hard times when payments were most burdensome. The Advance repeatedly suggested that this plan be reversedâ€" that public works be undertaken in hard times with . payments spread over the years that might be prosperous. _ There is one part of the "Greater Dominion iNew National Policy to Provide Postâ€"war jobs," af it is termed, that is unique.

That is the method of financing. This plan proposes to develop Canâ€" ada‘s mining, forest and agricultural resources and provide work in other lines by the use of what is termed "venture capital". Reduced to a skeleton the plan may be summarized as follows.â€" One thousand million dollars are to be raised by public subscription as "venture capital".

Thoughtful Address by Lions Official at Noranda Club Still stands the motto of the King: "Put into your task whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable.

Mr. Leo Laporte Touches on Danger of State Having Too Great Control Lions Deputy District Governor Leo Laporte, of Timmins, paid his official visit to the Rouynâ€"Noranda Lions Club last week, and the Rouynâ€"Noranda Press was so much impressed with his able and thoughtful address on the occasion that it gave about two colâ€" umns of space to a report of what was said. Much of the address wasâ€"taken up with a vivid review of what the Lions have done and strive to do. There were other more general ideas touched upon however, and thes Adâ€" vance is giving some of thes2 as reâ€" ported by The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press, as followsi:â€" Must Pay the Price The deputyâ€"district governor pointâ€" °d out that â€" the attainment of any zsoal is, generally speaking, the result of a definite plan of action and willâ€" ingness and determination to make sacrificts in order to reach the . obâ€" jective. Everything, he said, has a price, and the greater the value â€"the greater the lasting satisâ€" faction to be derived therefromâ€"the more has to be paid for it in time, enâ€" ergy and otherwise. Rarely doss.‘! one receive something for nothing, : and success, with few exceptions, is the friut of endeavour. Man‘s thirst for knowledge,, his search for wealth and his craving for power and influence have resulted in the advanced civilization of today, he sontinued. Man today, with> rapid transportation â€"facilities such A the reroplane, is dependent for his safety m the security of the world, and as civilization advances and science proâ€" sresses, more and more does the welâ€" fare of man become dependent on his fellow man. So rapidly has civilization orogressed that some peoplé â€" have been unable to keep up with it, resultâ€" ing in their not receiving a just share its comforts. "Those are the people with whom we should all be concerned," he said. ‘In the words of the late President Roosevelt, ‘it is not whether we proâ€" vide more for those who have much He spoke of social service legislation which has besn enacted for the welâ€" ‘are of the people, but quoted a reâ€" :ent article from the Reader‘s Digest which warned against placing too nuch power in the hands of the state, ind intimated that a tooâ€"highly planâ€" ied economy by the state could very well result in the loss of individual liberty.

In answer to the question, why have welfare organizations?

GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Churchill Not Afraid to Speak of the Empire (St. Catharines Standard Prime Minister Churchill, speaking ‘o his own party family, used the word "Empire‘‘ in its broadest and most intelligible sense, in a speech of aloquence that will ring around the world. Three years ago, he told the world that he had no intention of beâ€" toming the first minister of His Majâ€" esty to preside over the liquidation of the Britisi Empire. Today he said: "We have no need to seek the advice of even our honoured Allis as to how we should conduct ourselves with reâ€" guard to our own affairs." He described the British Empire in these stirring words: "This astoundâ€" ing union of communitiee and races spread around the globs, springing, not from legal or physical obligations but from ‘the mysterious, unfathomâ€" able upliftings of the soul of mali, raised our worldâ€"wide association to heights never attained, nor even dreamt of, by any empire of the past." He added: "Without freedom there is no foundation for our Empire Without empire, there is no safeâ€" guard for our freedom." _ Thosd who keep on snecring at Britâ€" ish Imperialism have something to think about in the Churchill declaraâ€" Private Frank Shedler Fractures Leg Overscas tion Word has been > received in town that Pte.

An exchange suggests a title for a book for the preâ€" sent war, "All Quit on the Western Front." it was several days before the news was known in England. These times it‘s différent. The news of the unconditional surrender of Germany was known on this side of the ocean days before it happened. One of the latest theories, given for what it is worth, is that Hitler and some of his leading gangsters escaped by Uâ€"Boat. Where they went is not suggested yet. In any event there are many who do not believe he had courage enough even to commit suicide. This is said to be a belief largely held in Russia. "It‘s a hard worldâ€"this North Land," says on local man. "I wouldn‘t mind going without meals if I could get enough to drink. But I couldn‘t get enough to drink, either on Monday or Tuesâ€" day." Ssome Ottawa politicians are promising that taxes will be reduced one third after the. war is over. If the war has only been costing a third of the taxes there is "something rotten in the state" â€"and not the state of Denmark, which has been freed from its rottenness by the unconditional surrender of twoâ€"thirds of the world gangsters.
