Sociological" phenomena must develop in their own way. Wars are to be judged from the point of view of economical and political science, and if so judged, argue the pacifists, will be found to be nothing but a struggle for world markets or a test of strength between rival im- perialismsl

"If Europe is now afflicted by war, they ask is it not by reason of its own folly? And if it bleeds to death we luckier ones can do nothing but pass by on the other side of the street, or the water. Let us continue to live with our proprietary in- telligence, in our better world, above the bat- tle, hugging our pacifism, observing rather than judging from our ivory tower.

“It is indeed true that all human life is preci- ous in God's sight, are not even the very hairs of your head all numbered? Are yo not of more value than many sparrows?

“Yes, but that is not all. There are other ques- tions. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Must not l. man die rather than that justice, truth, and freedom die? He O it saveth his own life shall lose it.

"Are we with our pacifism becoming so sup- erior and even callous in the presence of the great catastrophe through which Europeans are struggling that we are ceasing to be in any real sense Christian? Are we thus losing all moral authority so that we cannot, either now or in a. post-war period, take any important or self- respccting part in bringing back good will and peace to l. world in infinite need of both?"

were doubtless written without any conscious thought of Horace; we have a climate extreme- ly unlike Italy's but the lines are as nearly as may be s translation of Diffnger: nive: redeunt jam gramina cam/ii: arlmr-ilmrque conmc. A preface of sno\v is almost necessary for bring- mg_out the full flavour of spring. Cold and deciduous trees and migrant birds (which usual- ly nest. at the northermost point ‘of their pass- age) give our welcome to spring its final flour- ish. o a n A timely reminder of what is at stake. Be- fore a gat enng of more than 500 members and associates of the American Chamber of Com- merce in London, Mr. Harold H. Cross, Min- ister of Economic “iarfare, insisted that, after all, Britain was the greatest sufferer as the re- sult of her own blockade and that, although the gpvernmefgt was doing everything possible to emper t e wind of war to the shorn lamb of neutral trade," he had to think of the application of the blockade "in terms of the livcs of our men." "The last few weeks must have made clear‘ fr; all ti?! we are in grim earnest, that we are ig ting or our lives," he said in one pas- sage. "By waging economic warfare to the ut- most We believe weshall shorten the war by many months and this weapon can thus be the means of saving innumerable lives and of bast- ening the time when the world again will be free from the curse that now lies upon it." He thought that many neutrals would recoil at the thought of preferring their own profit and con- science or feeling to_ the lives of the soldiers, zflllOfl sind ailqmen, fighting to uphold tho stan- ards o civi zation. a n a a Referring to the intimate insight which De- fence Minister Rogers’ visit to Europe must have given him, the Montreal Gazette says: — The result may, and should be, a marked ac- celeration of Canada's war effort, an enlarge- ment of it and if necessary an extension of the organization more or less upon the lines laid down after the Hughes regime in the last war. The more the conflict is prolonged and the wider its scope the greater will be the responsibility im- posed upon all fighting rlcmncrncirs, and Canada $111? be \_\1/I¢_Il up in this calcgnlry. 2n prmy of a s mi ion men was raiscc in t e nst war and no less a contribution may be necessary be- fore this struggle is over, plus what is being done upon the sea and what is being done and is to be done in the air and in the field of indus- try. Canada has everything to gain from the Isuccciplfnl ilslsue of this wafr ‘and everygthingntc: ose roug an unsuccess u issue. . o-ca ct moderate participation menus nothing less than treachery to a cause which is as vital to this coun- try's future as to that of any other nation. If the Minister of National Dcfcnce comes back personally zlctcrniiitctl upon a maximum contri- bution in all services be will have the Canadian people bcliincl him and his visit to the United lfingdonrand Frnnce will have been a vcry timely thing, possibly the lllt):>l. nuporlaliit lo Canada since the war began.

But I have received one letter, post-marked "Charlotwtelown," which was not so friendly, nor so com- plimentanv.
