Peace Treaties

There is much thought being given just now to the drawing up of a peace treaty for Japan. It is nearly five years since hostili- ties ended, yet the Western powers and Rus- sia l_iave not succeeded in writing treaties for that country or for Germany. Perhaps it is not possible in this modern world to sit around a conference table and put on paper anything that would remotely re- semble the complicated inter-relationships oi :modern states.

"Con pondence oonneeted with the delegation of Mr. Cooper, Speaker of the House of Aiueunbly, to England. is extracted from the Gazette of Tuesday last. in which it was pblished by authority.

Moscow does not welcome strangers, and even working newspaper writers who want. to visit Ruasln more often than not are refused permission. But. Mr. Emdlcott, chairmen of the Canadian peace Congress, seems to have had no t.rouble,st all, which is a significant fact.

Mr. Endicott enlightened the Mas- cow reporters by telling them that “everybody who works for peace in Canada is listed as subversive."

A lady in Moose Jaw says that the male members of the human family are becoming less and less courteous to the female members. She's probably right. Yet haven’t. many of the females brought it on themselves by assuming the male characteristics and asserting "equality?" It is our guess they chose the wrong word. They should have claimed "superiority" or pandered to man‘: vanity by praying his protection for their "inferiority." A man just. can‘! threw his coat in the mud for an equall—Ot.t.awa Journal.

We have had Mr. Endicott speak- ing in Ottawa. and some good people may have been fooled by his smootti propaganda. There is no excuse for anybody being fooled in the future. The fact that he could penetrate the Iron curtain, and his reception in Moscow as an honored guest, remove any possible doubt:
