Managing-Editor Saturday, July 22, 1939. CANADIANS OR NOT? We are told that gome Germans decided to leave for the Fatherland because Canadians objected to their being members of a German bund. When these people came to Canada it was with the full knowledge that they were coming to a British country and that they would eventu-. ally become British citizens if they remained. They couV hardly Expect to remain when enjoying all the privileges of Canadians. No one objects to their having pro-German sympathies but when they band themselves together to help Germany in her. policy of aggrandizement at the expense of the British Empire they must expect that they will not be popular. British people could not go to a German country and act that way. CHINESE VICTORIES It is said that the Chinese are grdwing in strength and that they have recently won a number of notable vic- tories over the Japanese in China. Possibly they have r be(hi strengthening their air forces, something that is " very essential in dealing with the powerful air force of Japan. Nobody will know in advance just what is going on in . China. The Chinese army is said to be highly efficient and is being developed in such a way as to carry out the . threat of Chiang Kai Shek that he would drive the Japan-, ese out of the country within the next year or two. The army must be protected in the air so that movements may not be known to the enemy. Once China has the upper hand in air defences she may then manoeuvre her troops in such a way as to prove effective. Should Russia attack Japan on the north and China keep up her advance in the south and west, it is possible that the dreams of Asiatic 'dominance by the Japanese may be dissolved. At any rate it will be of great interest for Canadians to watch closely developments as they affect our neighbors to the far west.

Alaskans also favor the same route and it is probable that the defence departments of the United States and Canada will also be of the same mind. If there are no unforeseen difficulties in the way, it seems as if the route north from Hazelton is the route that will be taken. At any rate we all hope it will. It is rather interesting to note that nobody seem3 to question whether or not the highway will be built but they consider only what route will be taken. MILITARY AND NAVAL SHOW The British planes have been flying very close to the German border in connection with the manoeuvres taking place in Europe to give British planes experience in flying in the neighborhood and in co-operation with French pldhes. It is art intimation that there is great danger to the German and Italian people in precipitating a war which 'can bring them little gain if any and may bring them very great losses. If British warships visit Mediterranean nations it .willradd'to the sea strength of Turkey and Russia, France and Greece and dispose of any attempt to close that sea to British and French shipping. In fact the visit will be much more than a show.
