Britain's Seed Crop

Great Britain's extensive sugar beet war crop was harvested last year entirely from seed grown at home. Before the war, almost Italf of the country's sugar bcct seed came from abroad; the war has so developed home production that Brit- ain will continue to support herself in sugar beet when peace returns.

In I941, with fewer workers and remarkably bad weather, she produced a larger acreage of all kinds of vegetable seeds than ever before. The demand for them, when every householder is “digging", where he can, “for victory", is without precedent.

The most popular seed is onions, with carrot, beet and parsnip following closely Moreover, the need for shipping space has cattsed a great in- crease in the sale of seeds for animal feeding stuffs like mangolds, turnips, swedes and kale.

Scientists and Government departments have co-opcrated with the farmers and distributors in setting up a year's rccortl for lJritish secd pro- ductioti.

Consumers are just beginning to feel the pinch of scarcities, but nothing is so atlaptable as busi- ness, says a ivriter in Nation's Business. “Every consumption item has a substitute and the survival of each individual business may \\'Cll depend 011 the itigcnuity with which it discovers what its sub- stitutes are. Many will go down and new enter- prices will rise in their place. But in one way or another economic life will go on."

The losses of Hong Kong and Manila are sad blows, btit since the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor such blo\\-s have been expected.

m The Bible And War

(St. Thomas ‘Pfmes-Journal)

As might. be expccfetl groups 01 IJICTIZY in the United States have aci- opted a passive or neutral zittilnde toward the war. They cite passages In the Bible in support of their at- titude, but. it ls as easy to ﬁnd D85- sages in the Bible calling on men to fight when their cause is just.

The favorite anti-war quotation occurs in twu placcs~in Isaiah 2-4, and Micah 4-25, wherein men are counselled to tin-u their swords into plows-hares, their spears Into prun- ing hooks, nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, and they shall not learn war any itioi-e.

_ But there are other ptissagcs, gly- ingi-lic omxjsite instruction untlcr Justifiablc cii-cutiistturces. In Joel 3. 9 and 10 we read.

"Proclulm ye this among the Gen- llles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of ivar draw near: let them eonie up: Beat your ploivshzires into swords, and your pruninghooks 11110 spears; 1:1. the weak say, I nm srong.

_A war cf defence itgainst aggrts- sion, domination. and especially as fn this case a war against the ex- tinction of Christianity is most cer- tainly a Christian duty 11nd the ministers should govern their policy accordingly.
