Days of Anxiety These are anxious days for many people. | scan the newspapers for the latest t has been averted, but with the great uropean powers and the United States ing emphatic protests against Japanese iggression, there is no telling what any ay might bring forth. | The people of the world are praying for Beace. The adult generation of this day mows only too well what war means. They | Passed through the furnace of the great War* and they see all around them evi- ences of what that struggle cost. They shudder to think of what might happen if another great conflict were thrust upon the world. They dread the thought that their . 'sons might have to march off to an un- known future. So they pray for peace. They pray that the troubles which have cast war-clouds over the world may yet be amicably solved, and that the great mations, in whose hands it lies to make e or war, may be guided by the thought that men were not made to be- come cannon-fodder, but were created for the higher purpose of furthering the $rotherhood of all men. © Seldom has the world faced so great a threat of war without war actually devel oping. Seldom have the nations of the orld stepped so far in the direction of war without going over the border-line. Yet here is still hope. There is hope that the combined pressure of Great Britain. the Tnited States, France and Italy may bring {Japan and China to their senses, and pre- t ivail upon them to lay aside their arms. | {That is the hope of humanity today, and it trests with those who have authority to order the lives of those whom they govern to bring that hope to fruitful realization. Why Accidents Occur The summary of automobile accidents on the highways of Ontario during the month of December, 1931, makes interesting read- jing. It demonstrates very clearly the | reasons why there are such accidents, and also suggests how they can be lessened, if not entirely eliminated. According to the rd, 947 motor vehicle accidents were 'reported during the month. = In these "accidents, 49 people were killed and 786 persons were injured, while property «damage was done amounting to over 108,000. For a month that is considered airly quiet for traffic this is an appalling ord, and one which warrants considerable dy and thought on the part of motorists. In the report, however, are some interest- ng facts. It is noted that more accidents foccurred at street intersections than at any other one location. More fatal accidents occurred on straight roads and between intersections than at all other locations sombined. Fifteen accidents were reported railway crossings, and nine of the fifteen ed at unguarded crossings. ' whole address was a plea on behalf of the tenets of Communism, a glorification of Soviet Russia, and a condemnation of the Christian religion. 'Thus he has definitely placed the organization, in the minds of the thinking people of Oshawa, on an equality with the Communist party. * It will be futile for other speakers, or supporters of this league, to plead, in future, that it has nothing to do with Com- munism. Out of the mouth of its general secretary have come the words which are their- own condemnation. The Oshawa. people, in the mass, are far too sensible to swallow any body which is so avowedly Communistic in its beliefs as the Canadian Labor Defence League has proven itself to be, and it is fortunate that it has now come out in its true colors and shown itself as it really is. Editorial Notes When is a Communist not a Communist ? There is no answer, Lower milk prices are always welcome, because milk is one commodity which is rich in food value in comparison with its cost, Having occupied Shanghai, Japanese troops have now landed at Nanking. We wonder what they would do if they were really at war. It is to be hoped that the county council will not discontinue its grant to the South Ontario Fair. It is an institution worthy of the full support of the rural representa- tives. It is a strange thing that the nations of the world should be gathered to discuss armament at a time when another major war threatens. Trans-Canada highway work is to go on in Ontario. That is good news for the thousands of men who have been provided with employment through this project. Americans spent $7,000,000 for golf balls last year, which indicates that they attend- ed to their pleasures, even if there was no business for them to attend to.--Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. A western hotel boasts of a bellboy poet Blessed if we can see, though. what a lad wants to be a poet for, when he can get a quarter for just switching on a licht.-- Breton Warald { Other Editor's Comments ERIAL CONFERENCE (Brisbane Courier) ts Loo frequently, when people speak of the British Empire they seem to speak as if that Empire be- longed especially to Great Britain. That is why a great deal of foolish prejudice is aroused. As a matter of fact, it belongs equally to Australia, to New Zealand, to Canada, or South Africa, and its development ought to mean a direct benefit for every constituent part. 'That is why we are anxious that the Ottawa Conterence should not be held until the whole Empire is ready to discuss the problems that will be raised, both economic and financial. It is far too important to be rushed. THE ! HOIST BY HER OWN PETARD (Hong Kong Press) The nemesis has come China's student body has tested the Kuomintang by the principles which the Kuomintang taught them--and it has found politi- cians and generals alike to_fall woefully short of the standards they had set up. Yesterday the foreign- er was the enemy--today they see that China's weakness in the face of the Manchurian crisis is primarily due to the politicians and the war lords who cannot sink their differences even in a national crisis.

HUNGER MARCH UNDER RED FLAG Invasion of Toronto Ar- ranged by Communist Organization Toronto. -- "Hunger Marchers," who propose to advance on the nine Provincial Parliaments on: Feb. 15 and on Ottawa on March 3, beneath the banner of the National Unem- ployed Workers' Association, will do so under the direction of the Workers' Unity League of the Can- adian Branch of the Red Interna- tional Labor Union. Investigation Saturday revealed that the National Unemployed Workers' Association was a part of the Unity League, "Tt is a part of the Unity Lea- gue" James Bryson, alias Brown, secretary of the workers' associa- tion, stated to the Toronto Districy office of the Workers' Unity Lea- gue, 70 Lombard street. While the interview took place in the Unity League's office, an open dnor gave access to the neighboring office of the National Unemployed Workers' Association. Name Bryson Detective Sergeant William Nur- sev, who in company with Plain- clothesmen Mann and Simpson from the Court street police station, made a call on the regular Friday afternoon meeting of the unemyploy- cd association yesterday, told the secretary, known as James Brown, thst his name was Bryson. Secretary Brown or Bryson, dur- ing the interview, glanced at the renarter's notes on which the name f Brvson was written prominently. "Where did you get that Bryson tof?" he ~sked. "From.

A NYSTERY Scientists Not Much Fur. ther Ahead From Res-arch Toronto. -- "Science has not yet reached the point where it can do without ar appeal to a higher power," declared Prof. W. A. Parks, director of Palaeontol- ogy at the University of Toronto, to the Royal Canadian Institute on "A Lesson in Evolution," in Convoration Hall, "Life itself is still as great a mystery as ever, although scien- tists are learning more and more of the processes of life," said Prof. Parks.
