It is what happened to many a firm that stopped advertising because of wartime conditions. The story is told of seventeen major companies which stopped advertising during the last war. When the war was over an investigation found that six of the companies had sold out or were absorbed by other companies.. One failed and went ,outroL business, One was deflated 97 percent im terras of personnel; one lost 81 percent of its sales volume; one ended with only two customers; one was operated by the banks for five years, and two found that competitors had grown at their expense. Prince Rupert merchants have in the past two years reduced their advertising, yet thev hope to be successful. Are We Afraid? Nearly everybody when talking of a possible invasion, says he or she fears an invasion. If we fear the war, it is lost already. We may not wish to be invaded but we certainly should not fear invasion. Are we a race of cowards? Fear is part of the defeatist attitude. When Britain was invaded in the time of Queen Elizabeth we do not hear that the people there were afraid, so they were not conquered. Fear is the one great failing in the people of any nation. By all means, let us prepare. Preparation is always wise but if we abolish fear we shall not be beaten. We are being told again and again that the British people, although in constant danger of attack and often subject to attack by bombing, are not afraid. They feel that thej-are going to win, that they are a match for any t enemy. Surely we are not afraid of the Japs just because our countrymen at Hong Kong and Singapore have suffered reverses. What we need is a good dose of courage. American View of Changes ... . Discussing the recent political changes in Great Brit- ciui me mew iuik rosi says: . V9 changes in the English cabinet, it might be su tlm ihe peol)le of En&land have finally freed Mr. Churchill from too-great control by the elder statesmen of the Conservative party. The new war cabinet definitely indicates a decline in Conservative power. Its leader is the prime minister himself, whom no Conservative considers a real Conservative. "It must not be supposed that these changes represent an uprising against the Conservative party as such Leading Conservative journals have been as eager in advocating change as any others, and are as delighted with the outcome. This is a political uprising against do-npthingism, against party time-servers, against the plodding and the unimaginative. It is a demonstration of .the vitality of democratic process in England, and of the . eternal, living value of free and intelligent criticism England now has a cabinet which is not hopelessly wed-.detl to. the past, which will explore new methods and new strategic concepts. The swift rise of Sir Stafford Cripps wlio was ejected from the Labor party three years ago for advocating closer ties with Russia, and who now returns afc leader of the House of Commons under a Conservative eovernment, is a measure of the size of the change. That the British are not clinging, to old political habits, but are willing to make such alterations as these , is a good sign for the united nations and a bad one for Hitler."
