LONDON, Sept. 15: Yesterday marked the 129th anniversary of the entry of Napoleon into Moscow. It was commencement of the thirteenth week of the war between Germany and Russia.

It was appropriate that Canadians recognize reverently those who today were making the greatest of sacrifices nobly and unselfishly. It was flttng that they reconsecrate themselves to do their utmost for the maintenance of orlnclples which had been their traditional privilege to enjoy so that faith and safety might be retained for all nations and all peo-nle. Canadians had been asked to devise and produce, to save and give, that the war effort might be maintained. Now they were being asked to pause and consider another kind of strength the con- fnrmltv to rules of conduct that had been the strength of the past. Laws of human conduct based, on fundamental belief the speaker de signated as belief in God, In truth, in justice and fair play, In honor in mercy and charity, in liberty of body, mind and spirit. All these principles the Nazis, whose prophet was the "little man with the funny moustache, denied and disregarded. There were two basically different conceptions of human conduct and belief. It was time for all people to take stock of themselves personally. Churchill and Roosevelt were show ing the way the former saying that "with the help of divine Providence we shall prevail," the latter by admitting in his great speech last week that he had considered, thought and prayed. "We too," declared Major Sutherland", "must renew our fidelity to basic principles of behaviour." Human weakness could no longer be considered an apology. Canadians must be prepared to exercise the greatest fidelity to the principles they professed to believe in.
