EDITORIAL FINLAND'S HEROISM The heroism of little Finland in battling against the Bolshevik giant will go down in history as one of the outstanding exploits of the century. The fact that the Finns were overwhelmed by numbers and finally had to give up the unequal contest does not affect the value of the struggle to the people themselves and to the world. They were the ones to puncture the Russian balloon and had they re ceived a reasonable amount of support from the democra cies they never would have been beaten. LACK OF SUPPORT In. dealing with that lack of support, there seems to be a general feeling that Great Britain should have jumped in and thrown all her support to the Finns. That, of course, would have been the great opportunity for Germany. She would have used it as her excuse for attacking Britain through the low countries and nossiblv of march ing through Finland and taking the British and French iorces in tne rear and wiping them out. The only country that could have taken action without much fear of reprisal was the United States. She had the ships, the men and the money and her people were all sympathetic to the Finns. But while Finland suffered, the United States Senate talked and talked and the people of that country failed to realize that there was a crisis and they were the only people that could possibly have saved the little democarcy and turned the whole tide of affairs. BIG FIGHT COMING The big fight is coming soon. Germany cannot continue to hold out long without taking some more or less decisive action. Action has been promised for this spring, possibly within the next month or two. It is sure to come but in which direction only the German leaders know and even they may not know yet. That it will be a big fight with terrible slaughter on both sides is likely. The Allies will need every ounce of support possible and, before the end, both Russia and the United States will possibly be taking part. We may count on real war soon and we must not think that all the victories will be on the British side. The enemy is a formidable one and not to be despised. POLITICAL CAMPAIGN The arguments and discussions used in connectior with the political campaign now in progress are extremelv petty considered in view of the greater tragedv that is-hanging over mankind iust now. Premier Pattullo hit tV naH on the head at the Liberal meeting last nighi when h said that there was only one issue today and that issue was how hest to win the war. Primp Minister Mackenzie King has been in close touch i':5fV fJip British government and with the p-ovem-ments of thp 'ther nations of the Commonwealth fnr thpj past yearnd more. Daily confidential communiV.'rtions have npoeorl hetppn them. Often thev have been hourlv. No one but the Prime Minister is fully informed of hp, situation and he is the natural man to carry on. Mr. Han-, son is iviner him his full support in this crisis. He is the Incricfll representative for Skeena and that seems to be realized bv many Conservatives and former members of the C.C.F. Hp rati represent the, views of nvervone just now the view that the war must be won and that when it is won the country must resume its ordinary course with the least possible friction.
