motor torpedo boats. As a result of the war, this force had been considerably reduced, but it has been increased recently while still allowing for an ample margin of strength over the Ger- man fleet.

Malta and Gibraltar are the principal British bases, but Alexandria and llaifa have been dc- veloped as secondary bases during the past five years.

France has always maintained her position as the principal power in the Mediterranean by cou- centrating the greater part of her naval strength there. Her navy includes two quite ntodcrn battleships, the Duukcrque and Strasbourg, of 26,500 tons, armed with t3~iitch guns, and five older battleships of 35.000 tons, ztrmcd with 15- inch guns, the Richelieu and jean Bart.

Seven heavy cruisers and II of lighter type; 64 destroyers, I2 seagoing torpedo boats, and 73 submarines also form part of the French Navy. There is besides a large aircraft carrier, a type which is not represented in the Italian Fleet. The latter force, iudecd, has been built on the assumption that it would never be called upon to operate at any great distance from the shores of ltal_v_

It is apparent. therefore. that the French Navy alone should be fully equal to the task of deal- ing with the Italian fleet should such an tmfor-

tunate necessity ever arise.

Louvain Library

(Exchange)

Wisp: of smoke arise one; more from the ruins of Louvain library and Hitler seems to have definite- ly settled the long mooted qlmlwn

the "war guilt" inscription. lThere never W55 much question about. it. but it was natural that Mon- signor Ladeuze. recwr 0f the Unl- vexsitv should not desire to perpet- uate war hatreds. Actually, the fire which destroyed in 1914 the famous university library. built. in 1317. and much of the city of Louvain was the deliberate act, of the Germans in retaliation for alleged attacks by Belgian civilians on German sol- diers. The destruction fllaln may have been deliberate. for the library was still standinz when the British made their strategic withdrawal be- cause of the break in the French lines further west.

Tire new library was scarcely the old "restored" since it was built on a site a mile distant from t}: old. The 01c‘. library contained a collection of 600.000 books. many of them valuable. The new library consisted of even more books, many of them valuable. The John Rylancls library of Manchester, Eneland. contributed more than 60,000. Most of the funds for the rebuilding came from the United States, and much of it from Ameri- can children. A carillon was the gift of American engineers. Wltitticy Warren, an American, was chosen by the Academy of Pine Arts. Institute of France, as the architect and he conferred with Catruunl lvfercier. war hero and Primate of Belgium. Warren maln- tained that. the Cardinal proposed an inscription for the balustradeof the new building: "Fatrore Teut- onica Dinita: Dono Americana Res- tltuta!" that is to say: "Destroyed by German Fury: Restored by American Generosity." The Car- dinal. said Warren. never gave later instructions or suggestions.

Cardinal Mercier died in 1926 and authority passed to Monsignor La- cicttzfl. In i928 he forbade the ln- scription. saying that. the Cardinal had said that "it was no longer no- ccssnry; to think about that inscrip- tion." presumably in answer to the pleas of Monsignor La- cicttzc. an advocate of iatiernatlottal reconciliation. The reconciliation, ltowevcr. appears to have been or.'_v one-sided or, as the lawyers say. “unilatcral." Monslznor Ladeuze died February l0. 1940. just three months before Belgium felt again the wcltzitt of German fury. Warren appealed to the highest Belgian court in vain. and four years after the adverse decision a war memorial to 23,700 Belgian cl- vilians. killed in the war, was un- veiled in Dittaxtt with the inscrip- tion in letters three feet high. The luscrintlon used by Monsignor 1n- detize. itowcvcr, did say that the fortncr edifice and libratjv had been burned by the Germany army Aug- ust 15, 1914.

Russia Hides Herself

(New York Times) Friends of Soviet, Russia always COIIIDlIHII that Russns motives are tnisutitlcrstood abroad. At the pre- sent time they can say, quite tritihfulls", that the foreign press tells little of what is going on tn- sido the Soviet, Union. But are the wicked capitalists to name? The Finnish war ended two months ago and the wartime excuse of censor- ship has disappeared. yet. the cen- sorshtp in Moscow remains so strict that news from Russia scarce. l_v reaches the outer world at all. Dcmatcltcs are sometlntes slashed by the Russian censor until only the signature remains. Russia's p:l- iey i':t_ the world. a vital question for nl cottntrics, is unknown, Forezgtt ncwspapcrtnen in Moscow must write trivialities or twiddle tiuunbs.

Life Or Death

(Ah mruwrut in the Financial“ Post)

The war has begun. The aitz- krieg is over. Tins l8 no longer a war of waiting.

The stark and ominous fut the Allies face is that. they can no longer take time to work out. plans for winning the war in 1941 or 1943

They must decide how they are going to keep Hitter from winning the war in. 1940.

Ezngtand, moved from her passive spirit of lethargy. has aroused her- self to strike back. The over- powennk majority of Mr. Cham- berlain has been swept away in a few hours. New men have taken over. Who comprises the new Cabi- net, is less Important than the fact that. the English people have mov- ed swiftly to meet the ruthless challenge of Hitler's effort to win the war this summer

what did Canada. do on the day mgland gave herself a new war Cabinet? On that. very day, Prime Minister King "rebuilt" his Cabl- net; he rewarded two of his ful- lowers for their loyal support by giving them Cabinet posts! There was no question of finding even the best men in Canada for the two positions, There was much less thought. of reorganizing the Cabi- net. as a, whole to Rive the country a war leadership worthy of its war spirit.

O O I I

That sort of snbroach by Canada b0 the new conditions that have arisen is not good enough.

Our very political system. our economic system, our way of life are threatened at, this very mo- ment by ‘"0 most terrific attack ever launcned by a military power. And we have seen only the spear- head of the attack yet. Germany will not. spare a man or a mark to win in this lightning thrust. Hitler has enormous striking- power to focus on his great. gam. ble for world mastery. He will use every ounce of that power. It. will take every ounce of our own pow- er to hold him in check.
