Timmins, Ont., Monday, Nov. 20th, Members Canadian Woekly NewspAper Association; Ontarieâ€" | Qnebec Newspaper Astociation; Class "A" Weekly Group 'i‘houghtful people toâ€"day hesitate to venture an oplnion on the probable duration of the present war There should be general agreement, however, that it is going to take quite a few years of battle before the world is safe for démocracy, for liberty, ror right. Energy for the present, of course, should be centred on defeating Hitlerism, Germany. But When Nazism is crushed, the real battle will not be won. It will be necessary to restore Poland and ‘zechoslovakia.. Even then the war will not be truly over. Esthonia and Latvia also have their rights in the world, and there willâ€"be no true endâ€" ing. of the: war until the rights of the smaller nations are fully established as a principle that Russia may have talked peace â€" and built. an army of 18,000,000 men while calling for world disarming. Russia certainly has preached against what it terms imperialism, yet took the opportunâ€" ity to steal part of Poland, annex Latvia and Esthonia and demand Finnish territory, for the furtherance of its own imperial aims. Surely, even the shameless Soviet has not the effrontery to exâ€" pect even semiâ€"intelligent people to accept their unsupported professions against the unquestioned record. ~ s for Canada: On Nov. 1st, 1938, apart from Japan and China, mobilized for actual warfare then, as now, in proâ€" gress, Russia had the largest active mihtary force in the wOrld, At that date the active army of the Soviet was given as 1,500,000 men, while the next largest active army in Europe, that of Italy, was 917,991. Germany at the time had 750;,000 men under arms, while France, in the face of. the threat of invasion had only 725,000 in its active army. ‘The British Army, totalling only 382,770, surely seemed the most like that of a peaceâ€"loving nation, whatever may be said of its lack of logic and good jJudgment in this present warâ€"torn world. was 4,126,000; while Great Britain, including its armies and reserves in the colonies â€"and Dominâ€" ions, had a peacetime total of 1,121,695. men. To judge the true attitude of Soviet Russia in the matter of militarism and the desire for peace, it is only necessary to contrast its peacetime armieg with those of Great Britain. The total land and air forces of Soviet Russia on November 1st last year in the piping days of peace totalled over nine per cent, of the full Russian population. The total land and air forces of Britain were only one quarter of one per cent. of the population of the Empire. It is true that during the past few years Soviet Russia has declaimed against militarism, but a glance at the official figures shows how false were the utterances of the greatest of all dictator nations. Figures given in the Encyclopedia Briâ€" tannica Year Book show that on Nov. ist, 1938, the Soviet maintained the largest army of any nation on earth. At that date the United States of Boviet Russia had an active army of 1,500,000, with trained reserves of 16,500,000 men, a total of 18,000,000 men ready for war. China, engaged in actual defensive war, had only a total of 2,000,000. Japan also at war and with its full strength musâ€" tered,â€"had only a third. of the army admitted by the peaceful" Russians Italy had less than 8,000,000 men in‘its active and armies; France, a little over 6, 000,000; Germany‘s total The pamphilets distributed recently in the dead of night by Communists in various centres across Canada pretended to talk peace, and had |the shamelessness to picture Soviet Russia as a "beacon of peace," and "the only nation in recent years to consistently work for peace on earth." Apart:from the fact that the pamphlets were as seditious in intent as it is possible for any literaâ€" ture to be, and so should be dealt with in these days of war without the slightest leniency or toleration, these scurrilous circulars should bring condign punishment on their authors and distriâ€" butors for the gross insult given to public intelliâ€" gence, if for no greater reason. To say that Russia has shown the slightest desire for peace on earth in recent years is to completely |disregard the truth. Facts brought out in the law courts of Britain, the United States and Canada, as well as the mass of truth elicited in special enquiries and commissions in these countries and in European lands, proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Russia has been spending money sadly needed by its own people to maintain agitators, spies, and worse, in every land that would allow them the slightest toleration. These paid agents have bent every effort to start civil war and disorder. No opportunity has been missed to â€" foster disorder and lawlessness or to set nation against nation, class against class, and creed against creed. That is on the record for all to read. â€" PEACE TALK ice of its own imperial aims.

Ieamrmg the stories was itarioâ€"there isa seqmd.w tlmt the newpapers protected The truth is that for the general protection of the officers of the law, no less than for the public, it is necessary to have the public represented at such trials. Newspapermen appear the most conâ€" venient representatives. They do not care about the job, and are not likely to object to the ban, exâ€" cept from a sense of public duty. Newspapers in Toronto dismiss such cases with a few bare essenâ€" tial facts and no objectionable details. Ths Attorneyâ€"General could find no possible fault with the®*reports in the Toronto newspapers or in the accounts of similar cases in other Ontario centres. What has stirred Hon. Mr. Conant to action has been the lewd and obscene stories of these trials inâ€"some scandal sheets that are not conducted by newspapermen of any recognized standing. He should remember, however, that the sensational and lascivious stories have all been discounted by the general public with the suggestion of the fact that the newspapers would not have disâ€" : mlssed the matter with a bare mention had t.he:re| een real reason for greater attention. The exeuse‘ _ the indiuduals! wl z;.;-nmm of. the: mnnmmm in ‘Ontario. WM:HWI@W“ the rights of the people. The latest suggestion is in effect the complete dlsenfrsncmsemt of the people of the municipalities. It doesn‘t matter how sincere and honest the proposers of this sort of doctrine may be, the fact remains that it is against all British thought to give up the idea of local self-govem-} ment. As‘a matter of fact local selfâ€"government is the foundation of Britisn#fiemocracy. Contrary to suggestions made by some of the present rulers of | d | Ontario, municipalities in Britain have not been‘ 88 | asked to give up any of the normal rights of seltâ€". 16| government. Municipalities in Britain have not a | been debarred from holding el;ctions. The British nt| way would be to suggest to the municipdiities Yays and means by which economies or assistance as i in the conduct of the war might be achieved. No aâ€"| one doubts but that British municipalities would se | all respond to the limit. No one need doubt the Or | response to any similar call upon Ontario municiâ€" ig| palities. The people here are British, too. The "Iâ€" | British way is to give generously, but to see tTiat liâ€" | anything that is taken must be returned. Indeed, ia | that seems to be chiefly what all the war is about.| h | Those in high place would be doing their part well | 1¢ | in the war, if they took care not to distract attenâ€" ‘ 0f | tion from the main thought of the winning of the as| war by really needless and valueless interference d | with the rights of the people [ t * Il ced _ Attorneyâ€"General Conant has won the confiâ€" dence and regard of most peopleé by his evident fairness and good judgment and his adherence to British ideals in the administration of his high office. For this reason, there is much surprise at his proposals in regard to banning all newspaperâ€" men from trials in regard to immoral offences. What possible advantage could accrue from debarâ€" ring newspaper reporters from trfals involving inâ€" decent acts, bestiality and immorality? There are few newspapermen who care to attend this sort of case, but they do it as part of theirâ€"duty for the protection of the public in general. Secret trials are against all concepts of British justice, yet in effect the proposal of the Attorneyâ€"General is for a form of secret trial. The only excuse for excludâ€" ing the general public is that many of them might be degraded or injured by the evidence presented in such cases. Recognizing the truth in that idea and realizing that the simply curious or morbid should not be catered to, yet at the same time :recognizing the fact that under British principles the public should be represented, the custom has been to have the newspapermen present as repreâ€" senting the people in general. With the newsâ€" papermen present, the trial hnas the effect of being open to the public, without unnecessary contaminâ€" ation of the morals of anyone. _ If it is the sensibilitities of the newspapermen that worries the Attorneyâ€"General, he need have little anxiety. To most of them attendance at such cases is no more than an unpleasant duty. They are no more harmed than the police or the magisâ€" trate or judge, or the legal gentlemen. Surely, the Attorneyâ€"General is not planning to exclude all from the trial of such cases, except the accused? The Advance does not believe that the interests of the public and the accused are fully safeâ€" guarded by secret trials, from which the public is fully excluded. It may be that all the officials under the Attorneyâ€"General at the moment are perfect in every way. But there have ,been times in the past and maybe times in the future when injustices would have occurred had it been posâ€" sible to conduct the cases in absolute secrecy. In any event it is beyond question that the guard of publicity always has the effect of upholding and assuring true British justice. The Ottawa Journal thinks it desirable that the press should be allowed representation at all trials, and suggests that judges and magistrates are willing to have such representation. The Advance would go further and suggest that many judges actually welcome the presence of newspaper reporters at such trials, knowing that the presence of public representaâ€" tion is a guard to justice:; WHAT PRICE, PROTECTION? | Kinrgstcn Whiâ€"Standard: â€" The that Polish destroyers in the .

An item going the rounds of the press at present tells of a lady who found the pie badly burned and asked the maid if she had made the pastry in accordance with the instructions in the cook bopk. "No, Ma‘am," the girl replied, "it‘s my own cremaâ€" tion." Many people find these "slips of the tongue" among the most enjoyable instances of humour. There was, for instance, a Timmins man who freâ€" Premier Hepburn in effect has declared that Ontario «x prepared to sacrifice every dollar and every right â€" of the municipalitiesâ€"to win the completely to the scandal sheets. To this it may be replied that the scandal sheets are to be put out of. business. If that be the case, why not thus remove the evil of these cases by cutting off the scandal sheets, but leaving the courts open in limited way for the protection of the public. Mr. and Mrs. A. R.
