In any case, it is altogether too early to ascribe! credit for the present period of peace. There is too much danger that at an early date it may be necessary to repudiate any part in the diplomacy. This is not to say that even a temporary peace may not be preferrable to a world war. No sane person wishes war, if it can be avoided with honour and justice. But the worldâ€"at least some parts of the worldâ€"have learned in recent years that there- are worse things than war. “Life without liberty,” the British premier is quoted as saying, “is worse than death.” There are hundreds of thousands of Jews, Ethiopians, Chinese, Austrians and others, who could phrase the idea in much more bitter language. There is a fervent hope that the Czechoslovakians have not been added to the list.‘ It does appear to many that the Czechs have been: unfairly deserted. To many it seems that the agreement under which the nations are dismem- bering Czechoslovakia bears a painful resemblance to the original terms dictated by Hitler. There is; also the thought that while so much is heard of: the rights of minorities in Czechoslovakia, the' rights of the majority there have been given scant attention. The general hope is that the present temporary peace is the prelude to a permanent. peace in Europe. Unless that peace is founded oni right and justice, however, it will prove fleeting and unsatisfactory. United States newspapers are already busy ex- plaining that it was that last note from President Roosevelt that resulted in the present temporary peace in Europe. There are others who give the chief credit to Premier Mussolini, of Italy. There is not much doubt but that Mussolini’s influence was a large factor in prevailing upon Hitler to be more reasonable than some of his speeches. But to give credit to Mussolini is to really pass on the honour to Premier Chamberlain, for had it not been for Chamberlain‘s diplomacy, Premier Mus- solini would not have appeared in the picture in any beneflcent role. Of course, there are manyâ€" perhaps a majority â€"~â€" who ascribe to Premier Chamberlain the glory of achieving the peace of the moment. It does seem that to the premier of Britain must go the praise or the blame for the present peace. Hopeful people may believe that the present peace may stretch out to a permanent policy, but those who pay more attention to what the facts make them think than to what they may hOpe are liable to fear that conflict is only post- poned. To believe otherwise is to disregard all that has happened in recent years and to suggest that the dictators have completely reversed their policies and ambitions. Tifhmins, Ont, Mend There were many who attempted to take credit for the peace that closed the World War. That was in the days when the people were hysterical in their joy at the closing of the destruction and death in Europewwhen they were too close to the matter to see it in all its proper perspectives. Since then, however, the results of that iniquitous peace have been so evident, that few seek the name for being parties to it. United States newspapers that once glorified President Woodrow Wilson for his part in the peace treaty now seek to pass the glory elsewhere. It may be the same in regard to the present temporary peace. Should the dismember- ment of Czechoslovakia be followed by further aggression as many fear, there will be disposition to claim that presidential notes had no bearing on such undesirable results. ' In the meantime, however, it must be admitted that Premier Chamberlain has shown rare courage and sincerity in his efforts for peace. If he is truly successful his name will be famed in history. If the peace, however, is only an abortive one, still credit should go to the British premier for the earnestness and selfâ€"sacrifice with which he workâ€" ed to save another world catastrophe. There is one ling, however. where British leader- ship is not only giving present benefit. but pro- mises still greater blessing in the days to come. This is in the matter of better housing. It might not be said that the people of the Britain had the best homes of any country in the world. but at the same time it had to be admitted that they had not the worst. Britain has always gloried in its homes, and the fact that there were slums in the cities and towns of Britain has always been a source or Canalsâ€"$3.00 Per Ye may be far and welfar So much is being said these days about how Great Britain has been leading the world to peace, that leadership in the heart of the Empire in otherâ€"ind perhaps even more important matters. -â€"is liable to be overlooked. Few people are fully‘ convinced that the efforts for peace are sure tog result in greater happiness and security for the people of the Empire. There is the fear that the peace of the moment. may be bought at too great a price. and that the results in the days to come TWINS.

He is quoted as saying that the Czechs did not show much diplomacy or tact in their dealing with the Sudeten Germans. Lord Ruciman’s re- port is noted to suggest that Czech police and other officials, who could speak little. if any, German, were sent to areas that were predominately Ger- man. and that this sort of thing naturally caused trouble. Also it is claimed that government posi- tions and government contracts were almost in- variably awarded to Czechs and that in such matâ€" ters the Sudeten Germans were discriminated against. Very unfairly, however, the editorials omit other parts of the Runciman report. Lord Runciman stated distinctly that he found that there had been no “terrorism", as claimed by the Sudeten Germans. Lord Runciman made it plain in his report that the Czechs had not “persecuted" the Sudeten Germans or oppressed them in the ordinary meaning of the words, but simply had failed to extend them equal privileges with the Czechs themselves. Justice to the Czechs requires that these facts should be given equal emphasis in any reference to Lord Runciman’s report. Editorials like one published in The Ottawa Journal last week seem to add insult to the un- doubted injury the Czechs have suffered. It does seem that Hitler unduly emphasized the rights of minorities in this matter. In view of his own fiendish disregard of the common humanities in regard to minorities, his pretension of thought for the Sudeten German minority is hardly fair justiâ€" fication for Canadian newspapers to twist the facts to place the Czechs in an improper light. The fact that the Sudeten Germans were able to organize as they didâ€"even to the extent of arms and drill- ingâ€"does not suggest that the Czechs had any plans or desire to unduly restrict their liberty of thought and action. Perhaps, if the Czechs had been a little more severe on the Sudeten Germans, the latter might not have been in condition to organize the opposition they did. That fact should emphasize the thought that majorities surely have rights as well as minorities, and one right of the majority is to preserve order and maintain the state. If the lack of diplomacy and tact of the Czechs are fair cause for criticism, then there is also room for question of the wisdom of the Czechs in allowing the Sudeten Germans freedom to con- spire against the State to the extent that has been proven to be the case. This matter of the “rights of minorities” can certainly be overdone. The British idea is to give minorities the greatest possible measure of freedom and justice, and the largest extent of privileges. This idea, however, can be carried to the extent of endangering the whole state. It will be a good thing for all con- cerned when minorities learn that their “rights" presuppose responsibilities and fair dealing. -â€"houses that are clean, commodious, convenient, and that provide for real homes. The ambition is to abolish slums and slum conditions and to pro- vide real homes for all. Working for this ambition. without spectacular publicity or boasting, but with the earnest and determined purpose that is so truly British. it may be assumed that Britain will reach its objective in this matter as in so many others, and show leadership in this sphere of social improvement, not only to other parts of the Emâ€" pire, but to the world at large. regret to the loaders of that land. It was not al- lowed to rest as a subject for shame and sorrow. however, for leaders in Britain for nearly half a century have been seeking to improve housing conditions and make the homes of allâ€"even the humblestrâ€"saie, sanftary and comfortable. Re- cently there was pride in British hearts at the way immense numbers of people were moved in Britain to lessen the dangers of possible war. It should be a still greater source of pride to know that nearly one thousand persons are being moved every day from slum dwellings to new and decent homes. The Municipal Journal of London, England, is authority for the statement that since the end of the war. over three and a half million new houses have been provided in England and Wales, and of these more than a million have been built by local authorities. Today fully oneâ€"third of the popula- tion are living in houses built since the war ended Prime Minister Chamberlain has received all sorts of acclaim for his noble efforts to secure peace in Europe. Crowds in Munich gave him tumultous cheers. Crowds in London, England. did likewise. There is a fly in the ointment. how- ever. Just at the moment, when the “rights of minorities” seem to be elevated beyond all else in the world. there is a minority note not at all flat- tering to the British premier.
