B.C., THURSDAY,' JANUAbIy 19th, 1939 N o . 34 ̂ THE END OF APPEASEMENT The appeasement policy is dead. Chamberlain,. hog-tied bv English public opinion and the no-surrender determination of 1̂'rance, went to Rome on w hat will prfobably be his last • Kuiopean peace errand, and came back w ith nothing but the knowledge tha t he had all along been wrong and Eden right. Possibly two years may pass before we ,shall be able to coiTwtly assess ju st w hat this policy of appeasement has cost u,s. But to-date the balance to its account in our ledgers is decidedly in the red. We have on the debit side a very sadly damaged prestige all over the world, the extent and effects of which cannot be judged with any accuracy until we become involved in a major conflict. The second item is a. heavy re duction in the ratio between our resources and man power those of Germany. Thirdly and still more im portant is (iTc fact that Germariy's acquisition of Czecho-Slovakia has placed her cheek by jowl with Russia to th a t point where the latter power may consider it the path of wisdom to join forces with such ,a dangerous and ambitious neighbor. , - And on the credit side, w hat? 'N ot the hoped for "peace in'our time" to be, selfishly purchased a t the cost of our child-, rcn and as such not very creditable to us, but merely a temp- oi aiV respite from 'war. Moreover, even the chief reason given foi* our action, to w it: German superiority in the air, has been exploded as largely a bluff on her part in the light of recent' ' reports. ' France has suffered still more, for the Munich Agreement cost her all her friends in Europe. She herself may be secure from attack behind the Maginot Line, but her vast colonial empire in Africa certainly is not, and, once separated from that, she would be in very bad way indeed both for peace and war. . - ■ , ' ■ That a stiffer attitude will henceforth be assumed by the defnocracies is shown by the strong note) addressed to Japan, which the latter country,, already ou t on her feet, is in no po,sition to ignpre; The dictators will doubtless th re a te n and ' -bluff more.-than ever, and th e re will be" crises, b u t ^ e # w i l l ' * noti fight, a t least for some'timei ' < The days , of successful blqffing for them have gone, be cause at last the democracies have\thdr,m easure. .And, great as that measure is, it is not sufficient with which to risk war unless and until they can persuade Russia to join them ' ' PUBLIC MEETING DICKENS BOOK CLUB COMING EVENTS L ast Friday evening , in the Legion Hall, Mrs. Sleeves, M.L.
