AGAINST LONDON ounting Losses or Victory At Least Fourteen German Planes Lost in Series of Three Raids on British Capital this Morning\u2014Little Damage Caused in New Attacks, Described as Most Intensive Since Beginning of War.London, Aug.31.\u2014®\u2014German air raiders thrust at London in the third raid within five hour?, apparently uncurbed by a mounting roll of lost bombers.About the time that the third alarm sent Londonners hastily to cover, the Air Ministry announced that \u201cat least six enemy planes were shot down today and one enemy bomber last night.\u201d Three of Britain\u2019s fast-rising fighter planes were missing after the morning combat.The third alarm of the day came at 1:03 p.m.(8.03 a.m., E.D.T.), and it was London\u2019s twenty-first alarm since August 15, when the# German air force struck first in the London area with a dive-bomber attack on Croydon Anrfield.Ace German pilots of the \u201cYellow Nose\u201d squadron of Messerschmitt fighters were reported routed in a great battle over a Southteast Coast PROVINCE OF TRANSYL.VANIA (By The Canadian Press) The Axis-dictated Transylvania award means that Rumania restores to Hungary about half the territory she gained from beaten Hungary by the Treaty of the Trianon after the last war, which was 105,-000 square kilometres, or 40,-530 square miles.This goes now-under the general name of Transylvania.It will be some time before the surveyors agree to the exact area of the ceded territory, however.First estimates from the three capitals chiefly concerned are: Berlin\u201421,230 square miles.Bucharest \u2014 10,300 square miles.Budapest \u2014 17,000 square miles.The territory Hungary lost to Rumania included more than either the pre-war Hungarian Province of Transylvania, about.22,000 square miles, or the latter actual Rumanian province of that name, given by the Statesman's Year Book in 1938 as 24,020 square miles.Year Of War Finds Germany As Far From Conquest As Ever

Less Than Four Blocks from (By The Canadian Press) In the small hours of a September morning\u2014a year ago tomorrow \u2014 Germany\u2019s Fuehrer issued an order of the day to his as yet untried legions.He told them to repel \"force with force.\u201d The idea was that if the Poles attacked the Germans there was to be a counter-attack.When the .order of the day was made public German planes already had bombed Polish cities, killed hundreds of civilians; the Nazi legions were on Polish soil and the year ot Nazi conquest had begun.That same morning, Hitler, solemn, sombre, ceremonious, self-consciously trying to make history, told a heiling Reichstag he would be the first soldier of the Reich; announced he was off to do or die, and named as his successor in the event of his death Goering or Hess.At the end of the year Hitler stands like some dim shadow of a Napoleon on the French rim of the English Chanrell and sends his air legions into Britain\u2019s blue skies.For the time being he is \u201csprawling\u201d over Europe\u2014in the words of Prime Minister Church ill\u2014but the world is agreed that he is as far from his objective of complete conquest as ever.Britain alone, with an Empire solidly behind her, is holding the Nazi war machine at bay.Her fleet is still master of the seas; her air squadrons still command mastery of her skies.Observers of the day-to-day events have already pointed out that historians, will write of the first year of war! as Hitler\u2019s y ear of brutal conquest | \u2014conquest by fair means or foul, but mainly by sheer weight of numbers and machines, by use of deception and treachery, by application on an international scale of the, brutalizing tactics the Nazis used to gain power in the Reich, The German steam-roller reached the Channel in June\u2014across, the Lowland?of France, after seizing Denmark, sweeping Norway and subjugating Poland\u2014leaving in its wake battered, starving, civilian populations, The year of war began with Britain's surprise raids on Kiel and Wil-helmshaver.It L ending with systematic raids on the same ports and many related objectives throughout Germany, including military targets in the German capital itself.Italy joined the war which spread into Africa and to the edge of the Balkans.But the end of the year finds nr.end in sight to this amazing series of historical reversals, and in the opinion of Britain\u2019s leaders a long siege lies ahead.Repeated statements in London, from Hr, Churchill to some of the youngest members of tho Government, have stressed that the moment of British offensive, against Germany will come\u2014not only air offensive such as is being already carried out.But Mr.Churchill has nienutioned that it may be as far off a.s 1D 42.German losses, which usually runs ahead of official communiques, said that by early- afternoon the Germans had lost fourteen bombers and fighters.The fourteenth plane, by this count, fell in flames on farmland in Southeast England, just missing rooftops.Some of the raiders droning in across the Channel penetrated the London defence area in the third raid.The two morning thrusts were beaten back.Several bomb explosions were heard in the London zone but after a brief sky battle, beyond the eyesight of watchers in the capital, the raiders apparently were driven off.One plane dived out of the.sun on a town in the London area.The streets were crowded with shoppers.There were half a dozen explosions.Women and chilren ran for shelter and the fire brigade and air raid precautions services rushed into action.About the time of the third thrust against London an elderly Swiss couple were remanded in custody at West London court, charged with having made torch signals three days ago under circumstances which authorities charged indicated they were trying to guide raiding planes.The prisoners, Emil Wirth, sixty-two, and his wife, Alma, sixty-one, denied the charge, A dogfight raged over a Southeast town as the Germans sought to stab into the London zone about sixty miles from the Dover coast.Spitfires, fighter planes which can climb to 11.000 feet in less than five minutes, checked a large bomber formation before it crossed the channel.A movie cameraman, filming Continued on page 2, col.6.CANADA SPENDS MANY MILLIONS ON WAR PLANTS Munitions Minister C.D.Howe Places Commitments

war effort was reaffirmed today in messages issued by Canadian labor leaders in connection with the forty-sixth anniversary of Labor Day.Messages were issued by A.R.Mosher, President of the All-Canadian Congress of Labor, Tom Moore, President of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, and W.T.Burford, Secretary-Treasurer of the Canadian Federation of Labor.Workers of Canada pledged their allegiance to the war effort as soon as the conflict began \u201cand that pledge has been kept both in the letter and the spirit,\u201d declared Mr.Mosher.Labor realized that the principles of freedom, justice and democracy on which the movement is founded was seriously threatened.\u201cThey count no sacrifice too great in the defence of those principles,\u201d Mr.Mosher said.\u201cThey are aware that the first step taken by the dictators of Italy and Germany, when they seized power, was to destroy the organization?which workers had built, to despoil them of their corporate property and imprison their leaders.\u201cLabor organizations can exist only in a democracy.They must be free and independent bodies through which the workers can express their aims and ideals and promote their own as well as the public welfare.\u201d Workers, have given themselves t msparingly in the service of their [strings to this but does dxpect ample ountry as fighters and as producers Continued on

the centre of Berlin early today with explosive and incendiary bombs, damaging the big Siemens Schuckert electrical equipment factory.The 4,000,000 residents of the metropolitan area huddled in underground shelters for an hour and thirty-seven minutes as the British planes, striking under cover of darkness, carried out their most extensive assault on the German capital since the start of the war.German officials claimed one high expplosive bomb fell in the court yard of the fire department headquarters on Linden Street, blasting a seven-foot hole in a concrete floor.(The fire department headquarters on Linden Street is only four blocks East of the Wilhelmstras.se, on which the Reichs-Chancellery, the Foreign Office and other government buildings are located.) The Germans also got in their usual claims that the British bombers had struck apartment houses and business buildings.(This has been a regular Nazi charge, usually followed by threats of reprisals on Britain, where military and non-military objectives have been bombed indiscriminately since the start of the war.) Nazi officials claimed damage to establishments which might be regarded as military objectives was extremely small.\t! A number of bombs also fell in the Southeast section of the city causing large fires, (This was the section where the Royal Air Force bombed selected military targets Thursday morning).The raiders were greeted with an ear-splitting barrage from hundred of anti-aircraft guns as they roared over the capital in several groups.] Tracer bullets cut through the darkness and searchlights stabbed the ; sky.The vast Siemens Schuckert elec-; trical works in West Berlin was hitj by one high explosive bomb, which ripped out about sixty feet of the wall of one plant building.In another part of the big factory two incendiary bombs started fires in a yard where lumber was stored in scattered piles.Observers in the Associated Press offices (which are located on the five-block line Zimmer.strasse between Linden Strass,e and the Wilheimstrasse) could see the low-flying clearly in the glare of the Ottawa, Aug.31.\u2014\u2019(P) \u2014Some idea of the cost to finance war industrial expansion was given Canadians by Munitions Minister Howe, who announced that expenditures and commitments by his department in the past eleven months already amount to some $550,000,000.A plant construction programme undertaken by the Government accounts for $165,000,000 for the erection or enlargement of more than one hundred plants, Mr.Howe said last night in a statement summarizing the extent and some of tbs effects of purchases of his department, Some of the plants which in one case will give employment to 15,000 men and to 7,000 in another, already are in operation.A large proportion of them also are scheduled to be in production within the next six months and ethers will enter produc-(Xntinued on page 2, col.6.EXTENSIVE U.S, UNITED STATES PLANE ENGINE !

hat.German planes were attacking a balloon barrage at the time.The first London alarm, at 8:26 a.m.(3:26 a.m.E.D.T.), lasted thirty-seven minutes, and the second, at 10.58 (5:38 a.m.E.D.T.), lasted forty-one minutes.Two formations of Nazi bombers under fighter-plane escort swept over the southeast coast this morning, with about a dozen bombers and twenty fighters in the first flight and additional bombers and thirty Messerschmitts in the second.Royal Air Force fighters roared into action, and early reports on the battle said nine Nazi craft out of a squadron of thirty bombers and fighters were shot down.Watchers on the coast said the British defenders \u201cscattered the German formations all over the sky.\u201d London, meanwhile, had been under air raid alarm for ten hours and sever, minutes in the twenty-four hours since the sirens shrieked their shrill warning at 11:46 Friday morning.That was the first of four raids during the day and night in which the blazing guns of the R.A.F.and their supporting anti-aircraft defences took a heavy toll of the Nazis.Altogether sixty-two German planes were shot down, twelve by the all-Canadian squadron of the R.A.F.during a single patrol.In what the Air Ministry\u2019s news service laconically described as \u201ca useful hour's work,\u201d the Canadians of the R.A.F.shot down eight Messerschmitts and four Heinkel bombers without suffering any losses or damage.British losses for the day were nineteen planes and ten pilots bailed out to safety.The day\u2019s \u201cbag\u201d brought the German losses for the month to more than one thousand planes, the Air Ministry announced, and it was learned that the 1st Canadian Fighter Squadron of the R.C.A.F.had bagged twelve of these since it began operating as a unit August 24.Continued from page 1 of the worst crises which it ever had to undergo,\u201d the Premier said.The situation gave Labor Day a particular significance this year, \u201cbecause work is synonymous of order, of peace and of prosperity.\u201d The Premier expressed belief that a great after-war destiny was in store for Quebec Province and for the whole of Canada.\u201cThere is no doubt that as soon as Naziism and Fascism have been brought to reason we will be able to renew our economic effort and attain the success which we have a right to expect in the national and international economic domain.Let us not forget that at the moment when war was declared Canada occupied fourth place among exporting nations.\u201d The whole country had \u201cits eyes\u201d turned toward the workers of

source of comfort and encouragement to me and to tny family in our hour of sorrow.JOSEPH LABRECQUE.Mayor of Sherbrooke.Canadian Labor Chieftains Renew War Effort Co-Operation Pledge (Continued from Page 1) representation on all boards, commissions and committees dealing with the nation\u2019s war effort.\u201cUnfortunately, up to now, little consideration has been given to this by the Government, which has somewhat limited labor\u2019s opportunities to co-operate.\u201cLabor realizes full well to lose the war is to lose all, and for that reason will readily respond to any justifiable call for action.It has a right, however, to be assured that in doing so its patriotism is not being exploited to needlessly break down conditions that it has taken the organized workers more than half a century to build up.\u201d \u201cIn the past twelve months,\u201d continued Mr.Moore, \u201cwe have witnessed the spread of Nazi domination over most of Europe.The.powerful trade union movements in France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Poland and Czecho-Slova-kia are now but a memory, for under German National Socialism, as Naziism is officially called, free and democratic trade unions are not tolerated.They are \u2018verboten\u2019 and the Gestapo are everywhere alert to see that these bulwarks of democracy do not operate.Workers in this democratic nation are determined that a similar fate will not be the lot of Canada.\u201cThough dark days may he ahead and much remains to be done before victory is won, on this Labor Day Canadian workers look with confidence to a brighter and happier future\u2014a future when real peace shall prevail throughout the world; when freedom and liberty shall be the lot of all men; and, when social security will be assured for all' workers.\u201d Labor Day is no holiday for workers in Canada engaged in industries vital to the nation\u2019s war effort, for Canada has taken on a new responsibility as second in importance only to Britain in the struggle, Mr.Bur-ford said.All workers playing a part in war production are treated as combatants by a ruthless foe in total war, said Mr.Burford.\u201cFor every worker and every Canadian there is but one Labor Day resolution assured of wholehearted concurrence: Let\u2019s spit on our hands and get with the war.\u201d CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my sincere thanks to all who sent cards, letters and flowers.To all who phoned to enquire about me, and to all those who came to see me during my recent illness in the Sherbrooke Hospital.Especially do I thank Dr.Bayne, Nurse MacDonald and Nurse Hatch, lor their kindness shown me.Signed : MRS.L.A.McLEOD.Sherbrooke, Que.MONUMENTS Design and material to suit your burial lot and surroundings.Also

Canadian Labor, men who have helped to lay, broad and deep, the foundations of the great Labor body of today.And there are in this fair land of ours today men who are faithfully carrying on the fine traditions of their predecessors.It is only fitting that a particular day should be set aside each year in which tribute is paid to Labor; praise expressed for its contribution to the nation\u2019s progress, and good wishes expressed to it for the years that be ahead, And so on Monday next Canada wall officially observe Labor Day.Present-day conditions, as a result of the war, will, to a marked degree, curtail this year\u2019s celebration of Labor Day.The enthusiasm on the part of Labor will he none the less sincere, but the greater number of men, women and youth making up the Labor element of Canada will he forsaking the holiday to remain at their tasks in order that Canada\u2019s war work may he speeded up, and that Labor\u2019s great contribution to the nation\u2019s war effort may not suffer.This is a splendid gesture on the part of Labor, and is but another evidence of the whole-hearted contribution which Canadian Labor, as Labor elsewhere throughout the Empire, is making to the great cause of defending the British Empire against the assaults of a mad tyrant who would, if successful, abolish the rights and privileges of Labor, as he would every other phase of freedom which British peoples hold dear, and which they are not going to relinquish for Hitler or anything af his like.Organized Labor has during the trying days of the war shown a determined and sincere effort to discharge its great responsibilities in a commendable manner.It has put above everything else the service of the state.Labor has come to rely more on conciliation and moral suasion and less on force.And as long as its objectives are fair and its methods are within the 'aw it will have the sympathy of the public.The people of Canada salute those who make up the Labor group of the nation.May both groups work together in understanding and co-operation.May all, united and determined, tackle the present.May that same spirit of co-operation continue in the years to come when a victorious Britain and a victorious Canada face a period of reconstruction and set out to repair the damage caused by the insane greed and ruthlessness of a maniacal dictator.THE NAVAL RECORD It is sometimes said that figures are dry, and generally they are, the interest which might exist in them being for what they convey, what they mean, rather than what they are in themselves.This is true of the statement made yesterday by Naval Minister Angus Macdonald in reviewing the continued successful watch and ward of His Majesty\u2019s ships, including the It'i ships of the Royal Canadian Navy, over the sea lanes that link the Empire.In dry figures, but figures filled with much meaning, the Minister notes that \u201cover 550 vessels of the British Navies are at sea every day.\" Since the war broke out more than 32,000 merchant ships have been escorted in convoy with a loss of eighty.Great Britain continues to receive food and fighting material despatched in thousands of tons of shipping, much of it convoyed from Canadian ports by Canadian ships, the Minister said.During the ten weeks ended August 3 total imports to the United Kingdom were 9,930,546 tons of which 2,676,223 tons were food, 2,880,022 tons oil, and 2,212,716 minerals.Ip to August 17, he pointed out, enemy mercantile losses totalled 1,212,000 tons, British total shipping losses were 1,348,565 tons.The British, phis Allied and neutral losses totalled 2,568,335 tons.Merchant vessels to the number of 179.totalling 1.300.000\ttons, are under construction in the United Kingdom alone, with numerous other vessels being built throughout the Empire.Mr.Macdonald said merchant marine vessels as well as naval craft were under construction in Canadian shipyards.The total Allied merchant marine tonnage, he said, is between six and seven millions, exclusive of 800.000\ttons of Danish and French shipping, and 750.000\ttons of neutral shipping in Allied service.REMOVING THE PRISONERS Despite the loud proclamations of the German leaders that they are winning the good-will of the people of the occupied areas of France, a series of acts and ordinances recently rather leaves the impression in the public mind that things are not so rosy as they seem.The reports which are reaching Switzerland from the occupied areas that Hie Germans plan the mass removal of French prisoners from the occupied areas seems a case in point.The reason given for refusing to release the prisoners is that the authorities fear an outbreak of sabotage should these million-odd men be freed.This is in contrast to the reported friendship, for it is rather inconceivable that prisoners released for their normal occupations should resort to sabotage against Ifieir liberators.Rather it indicates that the men are to be removed to Germany for labor purposes, being engaged in industry.and agriculture on a virtually slave-labor basis.Thus Ihe freeing of France continues.The Divine Householder St.Matthew XX, 1,2: \u201cFor the Kingdom of

federal elections in Australia can offer little consolation to Hitler and his aides who are keenly anticipating the breakdown of the British Empire.While the Government parlies and 'the Labor Opposition are fighting vigorously over the war effort of the Commonwealth, the argument is not 'that this effort be curbed, but rather as to the best way in which it can be increased.Both parties have the same goal, the largest and strongest air force, army and navy possible for the country, with unlimited aid to the Empire.Just how this is to be achieved is causing some debate and is a matter that should be settled by the Australian voters at the polls, but whichever party wins, the cause of democracy is promised increasing support from the Antipodes.W.0.NICOL LEAVES MANY FRIENDS W.Ü.Nicol, for the past four and a half years manager of the main Sherbrooke branch of the Bank of Montreal, is relinquishing this post to be succeeded by R.L.Curphey, Manager of Ihe Bank\u2019s Hull branch.Mr, Nicol cannot claim to be a life-long resident of Sherbrooke.Nor can he boast of being a native of the Eastern Townships.But he can look back upon four and a half years in a city to which he came a stranger and from which he now goes, leaving behind him scores of personal friends, business associates and well-satisfied customers for the Bank which he has served so faithfully and so well for the past thirty-seven years, twenty-seven of which were as manager in various branches throughout Canada.The art of making friends is a great asset in any successful business life.This is a quality which W.0.Nicol possesses in great measure.He leaves many Sherbrooke friends behind him whose wish is that he and Mrs.Nicol will thoroughly enjoy their new home and that the future will deal kindly with them both.In coining to Sherbrooke Mr.Curphey, as Mr.Nicol\u2019s successor, may lie assured of a friendly welcome into Ihe social and business life of the community.Kindly Ihe citizens welcome him as reluctantly they say \u201cAdieu, but not farewell\u201d to W.O.Nicol.EDITOR'S NOTE-BOOK Like the parable of the Unjust Steward, this story of the Householder and his laborers in the Vineyard has its peculiar difficulties of interpretation.But the main difficulty lies in the fact that people will insist on looking for teaching that is not there.Of course, it is right to be profoundly impressed by the spiritual significance of all Scripture, but it is, on the other hand, unreasonable to try and force any text beyond the evident scope of its teaching.We must remember that our Lord was quite content, as a rule, to impress just one vital truth at a time.Every parable has its own setting and its own justification, according to circumstances.Just as the parable of the Good Samaritan arose out of the lawyer\u2019s question\u2014\u2018Who is my neighbor?\u2019\u2014so this, of the Laborers in the Vineyard, was prompted by a question asked by St.Peter\u2014\u201cBehold, we have left all and followed Thee: what shall we have therefore?\u2019\u2019 The Master\u2019s reply to this far from distinterested question was two-fold.Jn the first place, He spoke of the covenanted reward\u2014\u201cYe who have followed Me shall sit on twelve thrones.\u201d Then He goes on to say: \u201cEveryone that hath forsaken houses and brethren or lands\u2014for My sake shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.\u201d But, even more than this, Jesus wanted to impress on His apostles the fact that the \u2018contract\u2019 between Man and God is not a hard and fast business transaction, a \u2018quid pro quo\u2019 arrangement, but that it was quite possible that \u201cmany that are first shall be last, and the last first!\u201d \u201cFor,\u201d said He, \u201cthe Kingdom of Heaven\u2019\u2019 may be compared to the way in which a large employer of labor hires his men.In this case, in all probability, the grapes were fully ripe and must at all costs be harvested.To those who came early, looking for work, the landowner promised the normal day\u2019s wage.As other men appeared, he invited them to join in the harvesting operations without specifying emolument \u2014 some of them working only one hour! The 'ali-important thing was to get the \u2019harvest in before the close of that [day.' Can we not imagine the satisfac-jtion of the Lord of the Vineyard in that the year\u2019s crop was now safe from storm or blight or mildew?Is it surprising that he should say to his foreman: \u2018All these men have worked well, and the job is finished, let us make no difference between them.Pay them all alike?\u2019 It was a natural gesture for a generous and free-hearted man.Nobody had any right to complain.Where a bargain had been made it was kept: where jno fixed agreement had been reach-|cd the men had been liberally dealt with.You may ask: How does this parable have any bearing on the i claims of St.Peter, and his apos-jtolic associates?They had from the 'beginning borne the burden and heat |of the day.Their reward was secure: but later arrivals were destined to be no less honored.St.Paul himself (was an eleventh-hour man, \u2018born [out of due time,\u2019 yet we are told !\u2018he labored more abundantly than they all!\u2019 So these first followers of Jesus learnt from this parable that they h:id no right to grumble because these later laborers should be equally rewarded with them\u2014men like Paul, Timothy, Titus, Philemon.There seems to be a tendency in Hie popular theology of our own day to emphasize the rewards, and to minimize the responsibilities of Christian disciplineship.Its blessings and privileges are high-lighted : its obligations kept in the background.This soft-pedalling attitude is clean contrary to the constitution of Man and the Universe: life itself was evolved, and Man arose, only out of struggle and sacrifice.Neither the Christian life nor the life of the [good Citizen, is an easy journey on rubber-tired vehicles along a [pleasant road.Thousands, however, [are of this opinion.As a great [French Archbishop said, the other : day, the real cause of the break-jdown of his country was moral, and only resultantly physical.The pur-suit of ease and pleasure, and the | only too prevalent addition to the more prenicious brands of intoxicants had undermined the character and stamina of the people, and faction and corruption in the Government completed the débâcle.These same insidious forces are at work in the Free Democracies of this Continent.Liberty has run riot, and men in high places deny the existence of perils that should be obvious even to the most myopic eyes! Demagogues eloquently glorify the free institutions which they have not the slightest intention of helping to defend.They proclaim their unwavering faith in Democracy\u2014forgetting that faith without works is dead.Let me add that \u2018Justification by Faith,\u2019 however it may be theologically, is by no means to be commended as a directive principle of State Policy! Our own Government might well take this to heart! It is written: \u2018By their fruits ye shall know them.\u2019 The rebuke administered by Our Lord to His great apostle, Peter, is not to be regarded as of merely local or personal application, but as universal in its scope.It applies to what we may term \u2018the spirit of inordinate acquisitiveness,\u2019 wherever it may be found.The ruling thought with many men is: \u2018What shall I get?What profit is there in it for me?\u2019 It is the wage, and not the work itself, that absorbs their whole soul.Such men miss the true joy of service.The Master in His wisdom felt the need of impressing this truth even upon His own personal followers.God metes out His rewards by other rules and standards than these with which we are acquainted.His ways are not our ways: therefore it may well prove in the final summing up, that the first may be last, and the last first !

ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney.America\u2019s Card Authority *- DEFEAT OR VICTORY MAY REST ON PLAY OF ONE KEY CARD CANAD1AN-U.S.ECONOMIC RELATIONS (L'Information, of Montreal) The tourist business has always been considered one of the principal ones in the country.As a matter of fact millions of dollars have been spent each year by these visitors, and it constitutes an important part in our economic scheme.In wartime the importance of this industry only increases.How is it that tourism, an industry of peace if there ever was one, becomes so important foins in times of war?It is because Canada is engaged in a war which is raging in Europe.In order to pursue our military effort effectively, we need vast ma terial for war and a good part of this material must be bought outside of the country.The merchandize which we buy in the United States we are compelled to pay for in American money.VYe obtain this from tourists by selling them services or merchandize.These American dollars, let it not be forgotten, return to the United States, and that is a point that our visitors should be made to understand.The more orders we give in the United States.\u2014and we can give only as many

crushed between the two great armies.When the Nazis were driving through France they were able also at the strategic moment to signal Il Duce to [stab France in the back.These tactics succeeded according to expectation but in the matter of Britain there is no third nation standing ready to stab her in the back.Hence, the Nazis can only succeed in subduing Britain by waging actual warfare by their military, naval and aerial forces.The campaign conducted so vigorously in the i United States by Nazi sympathizers to prevent aid reaching Britain has failed disastrously, and the American Republic is straining might and main to provide her with the sinews of war.Thus the Nazi rulers are limited to aerial attacks, which have failed to shake the morale of the British people, to stop shipping to and from British ports, or to inflict extensive damage thus far on harbors or naval bases.That is the situation at the present time, and it is one which should give British people throughout the world great encouragement.guarding the International Settle-j ments at Shanghai and at Tientsin I are being withdrawn, ostensibly be-j cause their services are needed else-j where, the elsewhere being Hong 'Kong.In fact, however, it is a very I practical thing to do.There are only ! two battalions of British soldiers in I Shanghai and one company in Tient-j sin, about 1,503 men in

SOMEWHAT DELAYED (Brantford Expositor) Now that August 15 has come and gone and Der Fuehrer has not become established in Buckingham Palace as the ruler of Britain, it is in order to inquire concerning the reasons for the delay.What is hindering the powerful Nazi machine in its attempt to invade Britain?Is it the difficulty of crossing the Channel and landing an army on British shores?Is it because if it doe.succeed in crossing the Channel it will immediately be attacked by Britain\u2019s vigilant defence army?Or is it because the prompt and energetic organization of all the defence forces, supplemented by powerful civilian guards, is upsetting the entire plan?Whatever the cause, the Nazi leaders and their troops still remain on the European side of the Channel, still looking towards the shores of Britain just as Napoleon's army did in 1805.There are several good reasons why the Nazi military authorities fear to launch an attack against Britain.Chief among these, perhaps, has been the utter failure of Nazi agents to secure active co-operation among the British people.They have found that there are no \u201cQuislings\u201d in Britain.There never was a time, in British history, when it could be said, \u201cwe be all good Englishmen,\u201d with greater truth than under the present emergency.Whatever sympathizers there were with Naziism have either been placed behind the bars in prisons or sent to internment camps.There is not a single acre of ground within the confines of the United Kingdom where parachute troopers could land with safety.That is a remarkable tribute to the morale and unity of the British people.Then, again, another factor is absent that contributed so greatly to the success of Hitler's invasion of other countries.When the Nazi armies
