B.C., THURSDAY. MARCH 23rd. 1939 No. 43 WM'iapaBWBMBt ANOTHER CRISIS The mo.st surpi^ising thing about>• the present crisis is ilu' Hiirpi'ise felt by so many at H itler's sudden coup. For after all, looking back on the Gorman dictator's methods since iie came into power and having regard to his necessities and hi.s written confessions of the course he had laid out for him self, it i*̂ w hat.m ight have been expected. He merely aKaiii took what he wanted by his usual combination of double crossing, bluff and force. And he will continue to take, until ho is stopped by a force which challenges him to halt or fight, and VVHICH MEANS IT. Nor are the odds less than even, that he will not halt wtith all the armed m ight of the outragM dcMnocracies arraye^I^for battle against him, always providing that Ihdy can agree amongst them selves to do so. There, however, is *^the..rub." Fo-r years now the demo cracies and especially the peoples of the British Empire have been gradually disarined from ,within by a species of propa ganda very cleverly inoculated in the first place by enemy agents.,' Many o f our leaders became infected, with the virus,, and after that the rest was easy. This propaganda taught that war was outdated because it did not pay in defiance of the fact that we did not collect all our' war debts from Germany and then ■ practically set them' up in , business again. How „ coiild we expect it to pay w ith such methods ? On top of that, instead of undoing. Bisrnark's work by ̂ splitting up Gennany into its constituent little kingdoms which would have 'spent all their strength, in quarrels among themselves, we m ust needs keep them still united by fo isting on them a republican form of government which every German, hated. Among other items this, policy was indirectly responsible for . placing Hitler on that ladder up which he hai '̂climbed so high. Another fallacy of this "propaganda which we swallovred. hook, line and sinker, was that peace was best kept by talking pea'&e, and conversely that the quickest and surest method of 'creating war was to talk war, when a little quiet thought would. have convinced us that talk of either kind could have very ■--- little-effect one way or-fhe-other on- th e -result.- So-we talked ,- peace and disarmed while Germany talked peace and armed, having no such illusions as ourselves th a t the millenium had ̂ -arrived. , ' .t ' I f is doubtful whether H itler will fight, providing he is sure the deadline of our patience has been reached, and that, any more coups, therefore, will bring on' the deluge. The same applies bven more to_Mussolini, vulnerable, as he is, to a death blow at the 'Kands'6f"the'Bnlish'Navy' iri the Mediter- -Vranean.-- __ ' v * .. - That is why the loose .talk one som etim es hears~of 'a n y ^ thing being better than war and o f th is or that individual or section of the .community refusing"to fight, cost what it may;^is-the"surest-way'-just"at-tJiis'tim e"oftbringing-on-war.-- For there are German agents, scattered throughout the land, who by reason of their racial Jack o f intuition, wiirreport such -- =-opi44-i ons^at--their--faoe-valuer"--The'"ti tle~of~^ erfid1ous~ArHfion^^~ CONCERT BY , JUNIOR GIRLS' CHOIR AND G IR I^' GLEE CLUB THE BURNING BUSH By Subadar COMING EVENTS What's the difference between Monday, April lOthr--Vimy Day "Dance in Orange Hall, auspiw.s Celebrating its tenth annivor- a Canadian and an English poll- Canadian Legion.
