B.C., THURSDAY, APRIL 25th, 1935 No. 52 THR EUROPEAN SITUATION The eyes of all th e world 4i^ a t the present moment turned Oil London in the . critical eoi|dition of international relations caiKsed by Hitler. N ot th a t his actions came as a surprise to any except those who had deliberately sh u t their eyes to the obvious. ■ . ' Beyond the use of a camouflage th a t would not have deceived a child, Germany has never troubled to hide the fact that she was rea rm in g extensively. There was no'need, for she knew th a t th e fear of another w ar would keep .a-warsick world from interfering with those preparations. All Hitler did was to remove somie of the camouflage. When the time comes for its total remoyal, the nations of the World but not their governments will be due for a terrible shock. The latter have always known, but have been afraid to let their peoples know. That is one of the prices of democracy Germany cannot be blamed. She needs land for her surplus population*.as does Japan, and th a t is the reason w hy . both have been, preparing for a possible use of arms in a world of nations, who have failed voluntarily, to hand over one foot of their possessions. And we can rest.assured th a t for this, reason neither will reduce by one man the forces they have raised. ■ ' ' ' ' . Nor can th e .n a m n s be blamed for their attitude. For dikiinstance, we as Canadians would strongly object to say giving the lower half of this province to the Japanese dr the southern half of Ontario to the Germans--most^of the Germans in the States live ^long the great lakes--a t the behest of the League of Nations as our share of the pot. France has o f late years been bitterly abused for keeping up a large army, yet, if the Americans were such neighbors as the (Armans, and had invaded^ us over fo rty times"in our history, on each occasion with murder^ rape, arson and every other form of brutality, we should act in exactly the same way. The armament firms have been held up as the archfiends of the piece. They are only to blame, because as business men they saw a m arket which was anxious to buy their goods, and they supplied it. But under th e circumstonces theijr clients, faced with what they considered a ftecessity for those goods, needed no, encouragement. And th a t is all. . The crucial blunder of the Versailles Treaty was in forcing a republic on Germaiiy, and so uniting the:whole nation, always uoiie w as ud iiay c iivuuiauA cu ---- up again into her constituent kingdoms, when the quarrels of her princes and kings for precedence would have kept her permanently disrupted., ' .i.- International finance has always known all these things, has realized we have been sitting on a smoking volcano since 1918. Hence the stan'dpat attitude'on the part of big business all these years, which more than anything else has prcmuced in time the- depression from which we in West Vancouver togefhenjvithialI-the.:rjestj^fithe world are suffering. Most of us. have been more concerned and-quite wrongly" in ̂ our governments fo r their inaction-, or Inability to bring back prosperity, whereas they have beep and still are^ almost help- Iess"ih the mafterr^^e^nigger-dn4he=woodpile-has been-the- lack of international trade causedj by the general insecurity over which they have ho control. ' • Those Canadians who object tq' helping-England in a war should remember th a t - the. Brifishi Navy is the silent force which is keeping them safe free of charge. Also in such a case it is as certain th a t the rest of the* Empire wou l̂d hasten to England's assistance as th a t Canada would find herself a t­ tacked regardless of̂ whether she>, chose to remain neutral or not. ' . i t . I, ■ Meanwhile, there is no more reason for con^rn than has been the case fo r a t least the la s t three years. The situation has been jq s t as critical on a numihor of occasions during tha t period. The big-financial interests 4an be relied upon to leave no stone unturned,'as they have .dohe in the past, to maintain peace, realizing as they, do th a t another conflict would in money ceasing to be a factor in the life of the natm n^ Ana, most important o f all; there never was a time in the of the world when mankind as a whole was so determined th a t peace shall reign on the earth . % PERRY TENDERS ̂ CALLED FOR Buy your flags from the Disabled Veterans.
