PAGE rounr TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members an Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association: Class "A" Weekly Group TWO PHONESâ€"Z26 and 2020 Oanadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year Wooo"oooooo'o as usual, the doctors an and selfâ€"sacrificing devot baby, fifteen months old When a Timmins ladyâ€"English by birth and breedingâ€"was told of this incident of the child upon whom so much care was lavished, her reply was an instant demand to know why the child should not receive that special attenticnu, when all the British people had given so much thought and care for their pet dogs and cats and birds. Those that could not be sent to places of safety were disâ€" bOSed of as humanely as science knew. To brutal minds, it must indeed be difficult to understand how so much kindness and sentimentality for the weak and helpless can go with a courage that laughs at danger and at death. The British poet gave the answer:â€""The bravest are the tenderâ€" est; the loving are the daring." _ The Ottawa Journal had an editorial the othei day headed:â€""We Should See Straight." â€" It would be very pleasing to The Advance and to many other friends of The Ottawa Journal if it would do as the heading of the editorial suggests and not as the body of the editorial indicatesâ€" which is a polite way of saying that the Ottawa newspaper‘s rtasoning is cockâ€"eyed. The Ottawa Journal quotes a recent editorial note in The Advance:*"Wouldn‘t it be a fine thing if the Gerimans were telling the truth about all 'thq Russian losses, and the Russians were telling the truth about all the German losses." _ To this comment The Journal adds the paraâ€" phrase:â€"‘"Wouldn‘t it be a fine thing if every Canadian would put in cold storage until the war| is won and endedâ€"as Mr. Churchill has doneâ€"his getestation of communism, and welcome the aid of the Russians in this lifeâ€"andâ€"death struggle} égainst a common enemy?" The answer to that is a qualified "Yes," if there is to be straightâ€" thinking. The help of the Russians should be wel‘ | comed in the same way that the police, welcome the aid that sometimes c@#ines to the law when $wo gangsters start at each other‘s throats. It would not be straight thinking, surely for the police to be expected to sink their "detestation" of Gyp the Blood simply because Slugger Schicklâ€" gruber had taken a couple of pot shots at him. "Every fighting Russian, every Russian tank and airplane and gun, is that much more defence of Britainâ€"and Canada," says The Journal. "Every German soldier killed or wounded or capâ€" tured, every piece of German war equipment put out of action, reduces by so much the force the Nazis can bring to bear against Britain." All | that of course is true, and that was why The Ad-‘ vance suggested it would be a fine thing if the Russian stories about the German losses were absolutely correct. The more Germans killed off by the Russians the better. The Advance is all for that., But because The Advance is for Canâ€" ada, Britam democracy, it sincerely hopes that the Russians will not emerge from the conflict thinking. The help of th comed in the same way the aid that sometimes E$wo gangsters start at | would not be straight police to be expected to : Gyp the Blood simply gruber had taken a cou that of course is 1 vance suggested : Russian stories a absolutely correct by the Russians | for that, But be ada, Britain, deom the Russians will strong enough to sters.

Before that there ‘s armong their own people and , RITISH! United Statesâ€"$3.0M0 Per Year stt‘ A â€"AP A AC A CAE LA CAE P is the deliberate policy of the Soviet to send emisâ€" saries all over the world to injure neighbors and friends against which they had no quarrel, There is ‘proof held in more than one country toâ€"day that while Germany and Italy had paid spies in every country, these agents were expected to work in the interests of the Nazis and the Fascists. The Soviet agents were accounted successful if tey created injury and damage to the country in which they were, even though it was no advantage to Russia. It should be remembered, too, that Russia‘s record in sheer murder and torture and deviltry has never been exceeded by any other gangster nation, past or present. The slaughter of the unfortunate children of the czar before Stalin has few parallels in history for brutality and disregard of decency and human dignity. If there is to be any straight thinking, two facts must be kept in mind. One of these is that it was Russia‘s policy to stand back in general from the present world war in the hopg and belief that when both sides in the struggle were eventually exhausted, the Soviet then would be the military lord of the earth. The other fact is that all knew in their hearts that after Germany was subdued, Russia would have to be dealt with. The winâ€" ning of the war against the Nazis and the Fascists would be a criminal farce if the Soviet were perâ€" ! mitted to hold on to its plunder from robbery and murder and rapine. People who did any straight thinking knew that Russia‘s gangsterism would have to be curbed and cured, or the last stage of the world would be even worse than the first. It would be like arresting and punishing three of the gangster groups, with no higher purpose than ,to leave another with a monopoly. The Advance rejoices with The Ottawa Journal that the Russians are giving valuable aid to Briâ€" tain and her allies in the task of subduing the German gangsters, Hence, it would hope that the Russian stories of all the Germans slaughtered might be true. ut straight seeing seems to point also to the fact that it is a good thing to see the Germans reducing the military might of the soviet gangsters. As for the economic and political dogmas of the Nazis, the Fascists and the Soviet, there doesn‘t appear to be any difference except in name, so far as practical application is concerned. ‘The whole battle is between totalitarianism and demoâ€" cracy, between human bondage and freedom, beâ€" tween gangsterism and the dignity of human kind. The war has been in progress long enough to show that Russia can hold out, if she wills, She can no more be conquered by Germany than China can be subducd by the Japs. â€"If Russia succumbs, it will be because she sells out to the enemy, and even that treachery is not unthinkâ€" able from the record. The longer Russia holds out, the sooner Britain and her Allies will win, but Britain and her Allies will have to win this war against national gangsterdom, and the more of both Germans and Russians who fall in the present battle between the Nazis and the Soviet, the better if will be for decent humanity. Adolph Schicklgruber apparently tries to steal everything he sees or hears or dreams about. His latest attempt at minor theft is to appropriate to himself the phrase coined in Britain and often applied to Canada‘s war effort. The phrase is:â€" ‘"Too little and too late." That appears to be the case with the said Schickligruber in his invasion of Russia. Four weeks ago yesterday he publicly gave himself one month to conquer Russia. His generals suggested two months; military experts in other countries said if he could not do it in three months he could never accomplish his purâ€" pose. But Adolph proudly predicted that just a month was all he asked. The month has passed, and none of his objectives have been achieved. The oil and food he sought, and thought to secure in a few days have been either moved back or destroyed. His first effort was ‘"Too little and too late." The vigorous resistange offered by the Russians shook his confidence a little, but he ralâ€" lied his spirits last week to announce a new drive that would do the work in short order. That new drive is now apparently bogged down. "Too little and too late." Now Adolph Schicklgruber is callâ€" ing on Japan for aid. Changes in the Japanese cabinet seem to suggest that the cry of Schicklâ€" gruber is to be heeded. Whatever else that might be said about the Japanese, they have a record of keeping their pledged word. They have a solemn pledge not to attack Russia. This pledge, howâ€" ever, was made after they had joined Germany as allies of the Axis. It is inconceivable that the pledge to Russia was made without Germany‘s consent, and this fact is another proof of the treachery that seems to be uppermost in affairs of state toâ€"day. Indications are that Japan will rescind its pledge to Russia and try to fulfil its pledge to aid the Nazis. But again Schickligruber would appear to be "Too little and too late." Rusâ€" sia has a wellâ€"equipped force estimated at four million men to meet attack by Japan, and these millions are well supported by a powerful wing of the Russian air force. Japan, too, is liable to find that though Schicklgruber seems to have stolen the right to use the words, "Too little and too late," Japan, too, may soon find itself "Too little and too late." Still stands the motto of the King:â€" "Put into your task whatever it may be all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. {GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER} TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE oo'NN'Mommm( THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail." The late Col. Lindbergh has written another letter. As the private secretary of President Rooâ€" sevelt phrased it, the letter was "written to the newspapers and addressed to the President." The newspapers had the letter before the President heard about it. In this letter the late Col. Lindâ€" bergh says:â€""I give you my word that I have no connection with any foreign government.‘"‘ Now, if only Adolph Schicklgruber and Modest Mussoâ€" lini will pledge their oath to the late Col. Lindâ€" bergh‘s word of honour, that letter should be forâ€" warded to London Punch. Reports from neutral sources suggest that the advance of the Finnish forces into Russia have been stopped by forest fires. The inference is that the Russians deliberately set fire to the forest to halt the invading force. It may be that this is just a sample of what may be expected from the Russians in defence of their country. If the Rusâ€" sians follow any such policyâ€"and they appear to have done so up to the presentâ€"all that inâ€" vaders can hope for is peril. Ssome of the newspapers have been full of pathetic stories of the sad deaih of Premier King‘s dog. There have also been ‘pictures, in some of which the Premier did not.wear a hat, so the caption noted that Mr. King was holding the dog in his arms. All will sincerely sympathize with the Premier in the loss of his‘ pet dog. After this Mrs. Tony Campbell: and daughter, of Timmins, were recent visitors at Englehart.

I It may be that the censors forbid any such |questlon at present, as likely to give comfort to the enemy, so The Advance is not going to take a chance in asking: "What about some oil for Timâ€" mins streets?" Reports suggest that the Dominion Government plans to set up bureaus of information in 48 of the United States. Well, that will mean about 150 good party men who will not need to draw unemployment insurance. bereavement Mr. King can scarcely be expected to travel to England for some time. Soldiers still have to pay part fares for trips home on leave. If the government paid any atâ€" tention to public opinion this would not long conâ€" tinue. Reports from Moscow to the effect that the Russians now have air superiority over Germany are actually believed in wellâ€"informed circles in London, England. There is a tendency in Lonâ€" don, however, to think that it not the lack of planes but the lack of oil that is causing the trauble for the Germans. The Royal Air Force is giving Germany these days a longâ€"needed lesson in what it feels like to be bombed from the air. It will be recalled that Mussolini‘s son once told about what "sport" it was to bomb the Ethiopians from the air, but that son of a sawdust caesar found so little "sport"‘ in flying against the British or the Greeks that he has not been heard from since the real war began.
