tlfir Budget

Tlioq miinland newspapers which have from yin... y.» 6mg been complimenting the Campbell i_,..r,-t1i>v~|tl tivviu its alleged prudence in ex- penditures, must have got a rude shock when tltcy learned of its $54,000 deficit on last ycﬁfl opera mus, and its anticipated deficit of $241.00? fwf‘ the currcitl yvar. In reviewing last years adynipdslflllltﬁll and submitting his budget for the Ctirfcllt year, Premier Campbell made i}! able and plzuisible speech. In a icntﬂﬂCﬁ l"! w-ltiiie stibtuission and argument could be sum- iriul up in this one sentence and question’: —- “We arc facctl with the proposition of ‘beep- z? i, Up With the Jones’, and ivhat are you going to do abort: it?" Uthcr Provinces want, and get, advanced social legislation whether they can af- ford it or not, and why shouldn't. we? Tht he'll-fa‘. lloverntticnt makes contributions to- ivards firiairciiig such schemes, and unless we dip i319 our om. Treasury and cover their doﬁar u-ith our dollar, we fail to participate. Thus, he said, expenditures appear to go to I CPllTfl extent in a vicious circle—in attempting m improve conditions we go deeper iIItO lh€_h0le~ 'l‘.;e socitlization of legislation and administra- "Q," y,“ not work.

But i he of yesterday is the present of today. wl‘. .1 we realize when we find we have f0 pa)’ out of our annual income $345,000 in interest _on borrowed money, and $233.902-97 i" ﬁnklng

is no doubt the foregoing tabulated list of Ger- man naval losses would have to be increased considerably. The disappearance of the Ger- man battleship Scliaruhorst after being attack- ed by the British battle cruiser Rciioivti has led to the speculation that she may have taken re- fuge in Murmansk, on Russia's Arctic seaboard. In the fighting around Narvik Germany's losses were "t0tulitari:tn”, and lhc flllill official rccltou- iiig will doubtless show the iiaiiics of some ships not included in this tabtil:ition,—\vhicli, it is to be observed, is concerned only with actual “men- of-ivar,” not transports or other supply vessels which have been sunk. The uct rvsult, in any case, i5 that the ticrinnu flcct can no longer be regarded as an effective arm of irarfare. Although nearly all the naval fighting has been done by Great Britain, the war fleet of France must be regarded as a reserve factor of prime importance. (Qiirniiig the same authority, -—-the London Daily lr-lcginiplrs naval expert,- France has lost so far only one cruiser, out 0f s feet which, at the beginning of the war, con- sisted of 7 battleships, one aircraft carrier, 7 heavy and t2 other cruisers, 59 destroyers, 78 submarines, and i2 seagoing fﬂrpeflﬁ boats. France also had the follow-lug construction pro- gramme rapidly nearing completion when the war started: 3 battleships; 2 aircraft carriers, of which one has probably been launched; 3 heavy cruisers, of which one should soon be in commission; 4 other cruisers, of which 3 are al- most completed; I7 destroyers; 3o submarines; 12 seagoing torpedo boats and i2 motor torpedo boats. Germany, it will be seen by reference to the table above, is concentrating on submarines.

This strongest Impression we let from reading about our ancestors 1s that, though the circumstances of our lives are different from theirs. their characters were much the same. Here and there you find e local and temporary im- provement. here and there e de- cline. In England and Scandin-

avia people are perhaps more humane than they were In the eighteenth oecitury; In Germany

they are less. The general level of European culture is higher than In the Renaissance; but It ivnulri be s rash man who would claim that the most cultured per- sons of today had as rlvh a mental life u Shakespeare or Nfontaigzie.

WHAT BATTLE GROUND?

SIr,—'I‘.'tie recent quIck thrust by Germany through "a Neutral Country to the North" who were tn no way prepared. either flu- anclally, mechanically or technic- ally, to offer resistance, is a hor- rible example of how speedily n militaristic machine. without com- pit-notion, or any moral or Intelllg- em: right, can overrun a. permeable nation and neighbor.

Denmark a. vitally strategic move, a deadly key In the well laid plans of the German military technicians? leaving the partial occupation of Norway out of it for the time be- ing, or as being only camoflage to cover up the real move, of teln- forcing and entrenclilng the Get-- man troops in -a country where In three hours all the vital centres were Iii their hands, and now where no Dane dares to open his mouth, either in resentment at.

,tnfested wsten. every step Gor- many would be forced w retreat. would shorten their lines of com- munication lengthening those of the Allies.

This cnmpanlform coastline. would be something too that would have to be taken Into most serious consideration. It is llwsyl 510W progress to dislodge s well forti- fied, exceptionally well armed, as well u l formidabe opponent.

Then this wsmlng would seen-i opportune; the Allies would of necessity always have to keep their forces In the shape of is spearhead or open triangle. One line pushing the enemy back the other guarding against attack on the Eastern coastline of Denmark. where Rus- sia might If provocation arose. or where Germany could swing In forces from East Prussia. In order to sandwich the Bdtlsh and French with an attack from the rear and corner those forces between two liner of fire. both from in front and behind: misfit of numbers may win some bsttlu. strategy is the deciding factor In the most of them.

Is this a gigantic trap set by Germany for the Allies to walk In- to? e trap inuprung In an uri- kriosrn location In always danger- Olll, though when found, careful handling will mean emptiness, or might even be used to the disad- vantage of the ones setting it.

No doubt for the moment, while consolidating, Germany will be content with the newly elcqulred sauce of supply of bacon, meat, butter, cheese, eggs, etc. as well as the monetary gain she has stolen by trunplfng Denmark under her heel, although another move seems Immfnent, when Germany com- pletes the strengthening of her position In her territorial gain In Denmark. The quick advance from l preestabllslied pivotal point and the opening out In a fanwlse movement behind sill the fortifica- tions on the German border of the “Netherlands or Holland," where she could come upon those fortified lines from the rear, as well u with a frontal attack. Ger- many's new gains leave those Neu- trals to the west of Denmark I very vulnerable position.

Gaelic Rebirth

(Vancouver Province)

Despite the letter to this paper of one Seumas MneGai-cidh, whose "Commun Galdliealeach" In Van- couver looks to re-establlsh the Gaelic tongue, 1 am glad the Gael- lo was abandoned In "high places" in the days of Malcolm.

Had Robbie Burns written ex- clusively in Gaelic he would have been lost to those outside his little Kingdom. Nor oouid any translated idiom have rightly shown his home- ly genius.
