X I11 HOLLYBURN P.O.. WEST VANCOUVER. B.C., THURSDAY, JU N E 2nd. 1938 No. 9 CZECHO - SLOVAKIA "For ^he north guns, quietly, but always gUns." So wrote Kipling' in his poem "OW Viceroy to Another," and the same holds true in Europe^today. But for these there is little doubt that by this time Cisecho-Slovakia would have gone the way of Auatria. A peace-at-any-price policy of pink notes backc(| bv threats, which all knew would never be acted upon, has resulted in the rape ojj; Ethiopia and the annexation of Austria, besides being directly responsible for a war in Spaip and a tonflict in China th a t m ust inevitably bring down all civiliza­ tion in a welter of .blood before the whole tale is told., ■ Tliis is not to say th a t war/pould have been averted. But it would have been a t least delayed, which is the most th a t can e\'x'r be accomplished, so lon^ as human nature and human* necessities rem ain' as they are. All th a t the policy of ap-; • neasement has accomplished to date, is to bring us nearer the brink of' conflict than a t any time since 1914 while making the dictators the stronger to meet us when the . inevitable happens. It has so .damaged our prestige th a t in the event of war it will probably require several additional army corps to hold India and A frica against our colored subjects there, who have lost all th e ir respect and fear fo r the British Raji ■ Thus we shall find ourselves worse off than, if we had taken* our courage in our hands and, short of forces as we Were, have 's(iuared up to the dictators in the beginning. . The British press has seen fit to give England.the chief credit for stopping Germany's projected spring upon Czecho­ slovakia. However, it is quite plain the latter country was saved, at least temporarily, not by England, but by the stern warnings of France and Russia, which - Germany KNEW - WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. Ours have long since ceased to carry weight. * Undoubtedly England helped, but i t will have been noted th a t i t was. a B ritish Ambassador and not Chamberlain or Halifax who acted. ' , The much vaunted Anglo-It^lian Treaty of Chamberlain has turned out to be ju st, thp faj^e we pfbphesied, although an.v child could have foreseen what would happen. Mussolini ' is still backing Franco, with men and arm s. Recently he even claimed the exclusive righ t of himself"and~Hitler-to-interfere- in Spain. German guns and German aerodromes menace Southern France, where n town has been bombed. Prance is taking action, as she must, for ,we have an alternative route via the Cape fo fndia,Hbut'she hag;-i|ehe-to "her coloniat em pire- in Africa except through the Mediterranean.
