THE GAZETTK, OLDS, ALBERTA ‘Can’t Happen Here?’ If Britain were crushed and Canada conquered by Hitler's. hordes of ruthless ruffians; what would it mean to the people of this country? That; is a question which is pertinently posed and one which is deserving of some | thoughtful consideration if Canadians wish to remain masters in their own | household and captains of their souls. The Canadian nation is girding itself and mustering all its resources of men, materials and money to fight—against what and to fight for what? To put it tersely, the people of this country are making sacrifices and be- ing called upon to make still greater sacrifices to prevent having fastened upon them Hitler’s “new order” and to preserve the right to continue to enjoy the Canadian way of life. : ‘And what is this “new order’ which Hitler seeks to thrust upon first the people of Europe and, if and when he can get around to i€, upon the people of this country, of this continent and ultimately upon the whole world? What would it mean to the people of Canada, if they were forced to live under the black shadow of this so-called “new order?” * * . : What It Means For the manufacturer, the retailer and the businessman, it would mean the sequestration of their businesses. True, they might be allowed to con- tinue to operate, some of them, but they would have to make or buy what they were told to make or buy and in the quantities and at the prices de- * * Have Served Their Purpose Promises Made To Norway Being Cast Aside By Nazis Nazi rule in Norway is taking off its mask. The fair promises with which it sought at first to make con- quest palatable, and lessen opposi- tion by the conquered, are being cast aside; they have served their: pur- pose. Now it is admitted that Ger- man victory in the larger war will not mean the restoration of -Nor- wegian independence, which Major Quisling, the willing instrument of aggression, has been promising his dupes. Norway is to be a German possession, part of the spoils of vic- tory. The fortifications to keep it so are already under construction. Quisling himself tries vainly. to sugar the pill: He has his own safety to look out for, and unless he can show .some semblance of support from his fellow-countrymen his use- fulness to his German masters is fin- ished. So he phrases the new edict. as providing that Norwegian free- dom will be restored only “to the greatest possible extent.” The quali- fications will not go far. The pill defies sugar coating. Thus the Nazi technique is demon- strated once more. It should be no surprise; for it, is thoroughly laid down in “Mein. Kampf,” supple- mented by scores of speeches from Nazi leaders.

The highway department. reports the idea works like a charm and con- struction workers are busy putting it into effect on all the state’s high- ways. : The department coats centre stripes with a special binding paint, it dries. Ordinarily, a gallon of paint and six pounds of beads account for 300 feet of stripe. Since the beads come about 1,800,000 to the pound, roughly 185,000,000 of them are required to lay a carpet of blinkers a distance | of a mile. The escalator in Leicester square underground station, London, is 161 feet long, the longest in the world. ~The Congo river is fifth longest in the world, having a length of 3,000 miles.

They would be told what to sell, how much to sell and at prices set by their masters. Under national socialism, as inter- preted by Hitler and his minions, the use of capital, the right. to expand or contract, methods of operation, wages to be paid and even the disposi- tion of such meagre profits as might be permitted, would be determined | by the State. All capital would be subject to the direction of the State and | woe betide the business man who failed to bow to'Hitlerian decrees and dictates. For the farmer it would spell enslavement, total and absolute. He price that he would receive for his produce would be set for him and he would be left with no more than sufficient to maintain himself and his family at the lowest possible subsistence level. If the rulers took a fancy to his holdings they would confiscate them and turn the family over to the tender. mercies of the Arctic wilderness; there to fend. for themselves, or press them into bonded servitude. That has happened in Czecho-Slovakia, Poland and some of the other subjugated countries and “it could happen here.” ; For the artisan and the laborer, it would mean the abolition of the right to sell his services in the best available market, loss. of the right to improve his earning power or his working conditions through collective bargaining. Even the right to quit his job if he did not like it and seek another would be gone. He would have to do what he was told; work the number of hours he was directed and draw the amount of pay predetermined for him—and that wage would be just about enough to make sure that his family did not quite starve to death. That is what has happened already in countries over which the swastika waves. : ” “hese are the things that would happen to capital and labor if Hitler ruled the land. The State would be supreme, the individual a cipher and a slave. ‘From rules and regulations there would be no appeal and the re- ward for opposition or even mild objection would be the internment camp or the torture chamber and perhaps even death. = 2 s A Supreme Consciousness Truly: a bleak outlook for a freedom-loving people, for a nation who after all have been accustomed to doing pretty much as they liked, so long as their actions. are not injurious to the community at large. Fortunately, there are indications that the people of Canada are be- coming more and more. conscious of the: perils to which they are exposed and to the realization that the only escape is an all-out effort in which-every man, woman and child participates, coupled with a growing: appreciation that victory must be won overseas if the menace is not to reach these shores. 4 . This growing sense of responsibility was aptly ‘expressed by a locomo- tive fireman in Calgary who accompanied a cash contribution to the war effort with the. following declaration: : “when millions of men can offer their lives to their country, knowing that some will pay with their lives, others will be maimed for life, it is as little as we of Canada can: do, is to subscribe to the interest-free loan of the government, which not only helps the enlisted man, but also helps our- selves.” When every Canadian adopts the yiewpoint that his utmost contribu- tion, whether it be in the form of a loan to the government, prepayment of taxes, gifts to war charities in cash, energy or time, is at the service of his country, it will be appropriate to say, “It can’t happen here.” ao ; Wanted Action Tractors For London To help the British to clean up their streets after an air raid, the American Youths Come To Canada Outdor Cleanliness Association, Inc., | To Enlist For Duty New York, has launched a-campaign) Three men who arrived in Ottawa |a@ few days ago with 38 cents be- to buy several tractors, The tractors, | tween them efter a trip from their each of which will cost $6,000, will) go to London to expedite street clean- | pomes at Austin, Texas, have report- ing. ed at the Manning Pool, Toronto, for duty with the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The Ministry of Food is remind- ing Britons of the nourishment to. be obtained from these vegetables and suggests various ways in which they may be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. : Coupled with this reminder is the advice to grow potatoes, carrots and onions, vegetables that will store for winter. ¢ “Food is a munition of war,” the Ministry declares on a flowing ban- ner;. under. which is the admonition ~ “don’t waste it.” In the centre of a double-column advertisement is a caricature of @ perspiring dockhand cursing volubly under a heavy load.

Old age sent him into retirement after 50 years in the yards and un- til a short time ago-he was content to tend his flowers in the garden of his Welsh home. One night he read of a call for more skilled shipyard workers. “I’m going back,” he told his daughter. ‘“There’s a job of work to do.” So he rises every morning at 5:30, catches the 7:00 a.m. train from his village station and at 7:30 is ‘hard at work adding to the clang of the boiler. makers’ hammers. “J couldn’t be idle while the lads are fighting,” ‘he said. “I’m hale and hearty, good for another 10 years, so I made up my mind to help beat the German submarines.” Prayers alone will not Salvage Campaign Rags, bones, bottles and other. ma- terials and articles will be collected all across Canada when the national savage campaign announced by War Services Minister Gardiner gets un- der way. The object will be to util- ize materials now going to waste in meeting wartime needs, and to raise money for wartime charities and ser- vices. The Titanic disaster occurred on April 15, 1912.
