Peofie in Timmins and Schumacher who heard Wilison Wcoodside, journalist gnd traveller, speak on European afâ€" fairs, will be interested in his opinions on Czechoslovakia. At the Young M>n‘s Canadian Cliub at the Royal Yorkâ€" Hoâ€" tel, Toronto, this week, Mr. Woodside repeated what he sugzested while in this districtâ€"that in reality, and beâ€" hnind all the bluff and bluster, Gerâ€" many is in no state to hold out for long in the event of war, At Schumacher ne said that Germany would likely crash if it became involved in any war of any consequence. Mr. Woodside told the Younz Men‘s Canadian Club at Toronto that he thought a German inâ€" vasion of Czechoslovakia unlikely at the present time and inclined to the view that Hitler would most likely try to gain Czechoslovakia by politics raâ€" ther than by force, and would endeaâ€" vour to have a few Nazi ministers inâ€" cluded in the Czechoslovakisn Cabinet. Rrssian Interest "I am inclined to think Russia would consider the maintenance of Czechosloâ€" vakia as an outpost of her defence," said Mr. Woodside. If the Germans could pass the Bohemian hills, the Czechs‘ natural fortress, they could sweep across the oil fields of Rumania into the Ukraine. He doubted that President Edouard Benes, of Czechosloâ€" vakia, would bow to Berlin, and had great confidence in the fight the Czechs would show if attacked. ' "They possess a splendid morale, and they are not casily frightened," deâ€" clared Mr. Wodside. "Probably Czechoâ€" slovakia had more trained reserves than country is a natural fortress, surrounded by hills, and could not be easily taken.

Air of Sham Th Nazi regime, Mr. Woodside asâ€" serted, had squeezed more out of Gerâ€" many, rslatively poor nation,. than war preparations <ever had done and was building ultraâ€"modern highways, grsat bridges, public buildings and other costly public works. Hitler‘s power was fcunded on his purely emotional grip on the Grman people, and Nazi disâ€" plays and pageantry had an "air of sham‘‘ about them. Nevertheless Hitler was backed by a large pnart of the Gerâ€" man people. and an ambition for greater power have always played a larg»e part in shaping Germany‘s poliâ€" cies," Mr. Wodside said. He described the present German leaders as political adventurers who were overâ€"confident, had deluded themselves that France was decadent and failed to realize the spirit animating a small nation like Czechoslovakia. He questioned if the Germans could have sufficient stores of foodstuf and raw materials to unâ€" dertake a war, and declared "there is a smoke screen thrown around the ecoâ€" nomic condition of the country."

Montreal, March 23.â€"A day after spring was officially under way, the first contingent of colonists to the Abiâ€" tibti region of Northern Quebec left for their new homes on the frontier. T‘wenâ€" tyâ€"seven heads of famiiles, representing 190 individuals, accompanied by ‘ten grown sons, travelled in special cars on the Canadian National train to the faâ€" molus agricultural and mining country. The departure, first from Montreal, first trek in the Province of Quebec this year, was an unusual one. Hereâ€" tofore settlers have gone forth in the summer or in autumn. Mcntreal has agreed â€" to place 300 families on the land in the colonization centres. The first group will inhabit the counties of Bearne, Lamorandiere and Castagnier. The new colonists will be lodged in houses already constructed and their families will join them in two or three weeks. Paul Boutet, of the colonization deâ€" partment of the Canadian National Railways, accompanied the party. . â€" Britain Shunning Both Fascism and Communism In considering British foreign policy j there :isâ€"one .cardinal point to be reâ€": membered. It isâ€"that Great Britain dogs not intend to take sides as between the warring forces of Fascism and Bolâ€" shevism. That was stated time and again by Premier Raldwin; it has been repzcated time and again by Premier Chamberlain. It was the struggle beâ€" tween these two forces that made the Spanish Civil War such a peculiarly difficult problem, and Anthony Eden, citterly attacked for his nonâ€"intervenâ€" ticn policy by the very people who have lately been praising him, had to tell his critics over and over again that the intervention was not on the part of Germany and Italy alone. His task was to steer a path between the foreign friends of the Insurgents on the one side and those of the government on the other. His attitude brought the charg> that the British government was favouring Franco, and in this connecâ€" tion it is worthwhile to note the exâ€" perience of Captain H. â€"G. Scott, of Calgary, who addressed the Canadian Club of Toronto on Monday. Captain Szott says that, when he asked in Lonâ€" don which sids in Spain it would be better to visit for information, he was told that the Insurgents were suspicious of a British visitor as likely to be hosâ€" tle, while the Loyalists would welcome tile, while the Loyalists would welcome the government side and found a warm welcom.. When this cardinal point of policy is considered the government‘s attitude with respect to Czechoslovakia may be quickly understood. The little republic is a treaty ally of Soviet Russia, and for Great Britain to bind herself to fight to preserve its independence would ‘be to bind herself to fight alongside Rusâ€" sia, and so throw herself into the Bolâ€" shevist as against the FPascist camp. That would be to go counter to. her whole policy and, though the governâ€" ment does not like the ways of dictaâ€" tors, it does not see any solution of th» problem in bolstering up Bolsheâ€" vism. There is, for democracies, no choice between the two evils. ‘This point of policy furnishes an exâ€" planation of the noncommittal @ttitude adcpted toward France. Great Britain, is engaged to assist France if France is attacked by Germanyâ€"just as she is engaged to assist Germany if Germany is attacked by Franceâ€"but France is committed to Bolshevist Russia by treaâ€" ty and Great Britain is not willing to fight in a quarrel which might easily spring from such an alliance if Russia were assured of British support, The situation may seem: to be unfortunate for Czechoslovakia, but it should be rrâ€" membered that Britain is not, and canâ€" nct possibly be, the guardian of liberty all over the world. If all the other democracies would commit themselves to her in advance, she might be willing to commit herself to others. Till that ‘ime comes, she has to be careful in making engagements. Why She was Particular About the Train Times (Christian Science Monitor) An 2lderly lady and her granddaughâ€" ter came down to the railway station. Evidently she was not used to travelâ€" ling. She looked anxiously about the station, and then walked up to the ticket office and inquired: "When doss the next train go to "The next train, madame," said the clerk, looking at his watch, "goes at exactly 4 o‘clock.‘" "Will that be the first train?" "Yes, madam, the first train." "Are there any goods trains?" "Nc, madam." "Is there a special?" "Nc, madam, no special." would you t aware of it? : cross the line." London (Eng.)

Prospectors as Well as Moose Should be Protected Noranda.â€""The moose and the prosâ€" pector have much in common. The moose are protected and preserved; why not the prosp>ctor, before his speâ€" cies become extinct?> But perhaps this is not such a happy comparison, for: thr moose is preserved in order to be shot by the nimrods from our citizs, though it should be chalked up to. the credit of the nimrods that they are not sgocd sportsmen and usually shoot about six ‘of their own men yearly, just to soothe th» of the dead and dyirg moose. However, St. James and Bay streets are not too bad at potting the wily prospector bird, only they do it with nickels, instead of nasty lead bullets." i Such is the opinion exprassed by Robert Vauzhan of Amos who tried some time ago to organize prospectors into "a body that would ‘be capable of looking after their own interests in the mining world." He says he failed and so reached the conclusion that the prospector is "constitutionally antagâ€" onistic to the idea of herding into clubs or associate bodies." His suggestion is that the minister of mines gather about him in Quebet some of the better known (and naturally, more successful) prospectors, listen to their ideas and then legislate to alleviate conditions. Claim New Method for _ the Preservation of Food An aid to food preservation, as great an advance in this field as was the intreduction of refrigeration in the days when spice was used to make things niceâ€"comes from the experimental laboratories of Westinghouse, in the form of sterilamp, emitting special ultraâ€"violet light capable of dPstroymg agents of decay. A demonstration at the American Institute in New York City was arâ€" ranged Monday night by Dr. Harvey C. Rentschler, director of research, and his associate, Dr. Robert F. James. "Neither chemicals nor heat can be satisfactorily applied to the preservaâ€" tion of such perishables as meat," said Dr. Rentschler. "The refrigerator preâ€" serves them if kept cold enougn, but this is invariably attended ‘by loss of moisture and flavour and often, even in very cold refrigerators, by the growth of mold. "The average retail dealer sells from 500 to 1,500 pounds of meat weekly, buying usually once a week, and is faced with the problem of preserving the balance of stock not sold. This is usually accompanied by storing in a walkâ€"in type of refrigerator. ~Such refrigeration is only fairly efâ€" ficient in preserving meats, Dr. Rentsâ€" chler asserted, adding that the new lamp, which has taken five years of study and careful testing, has fully demcnstrated its ability to protect such dealer suppliecs. They are held to be of parbicvuvlar benefit in refrigerated showcases.

[ YOU CAN TELL | ROLLED | THIS "SMOKE" WITH VOGUE 1##TURSDAY, MARCH 24TH, 1038 Ncrthern Towns Need Some Protection from Rackets In Timmins a better business club has protestsd the admission to that town of travplling carnivals, and is asking the town council and those of adjoining municipalities to take the matter up. * (An editorial in The Northern News on Tuesday of this week). Here it was not. necessary to force eccuncil‘s hand. Last year and this year a definit» stand was taken against travelling carnivals, which are not to b2 confused with legitimate circusses which provide real entertainment, and hav> not the undesirable gambling and "gyp" {features of the carnivai. The North, and South, too, needs protection against more than carnivals. In Toronto there has been a great controversy over the fact that the fire dspartment there proposed to put on a ‘big show with the aid of professional promoters. Scmetimes the latter are,. associated with carnivals, sometimes they stage other forms of entertainment. But in most cases their contracts are so writâ€" ten that they are assured of a big perâ€" centage, while the organization which hires them, to say the least of it, loses what it pays to them, and has little left in proportion from the gross. Numerous organizations in Kirkland Lake are usually approached at this time of the year by professiona: proâ€" moters ready to stage anything from a dog fight to a pageant of Empirc.
