The inconsistencies of human nature are never more scoff on being warned of things they do not want to hear. Then when the unpleasant things happen they will hasten to blame the same authorities who may have warned them for not having taken action to prevent them. There was never a greater example of this than thp case of Chamberlain and ChurchilL Chamberlain took the pleasant and hopeful view and acted as an anneaser Churchjll was in rank disrepute because he talked nf things to come that the people did not wish to hear about Then, when the war broke in all its realism, the people turned from the appeaser to the Jeremiah as they would to a Messiah. In Canada nenple before the war would not listen to the warnings of those who urged heavv defences. The mere mention of taxation for such nurnose was anathema. Rut how much better would it have been if the whole iob of beinp- prepared had not been left until after the attack was on! One of our weaknesses is the tendency to postpone a bad argument, unwillingness to take steps to be prepared for crisis or emergency. Real Russian Victories . . . The victories of the Russians are getting beyond the point where they can be in any wise explained away by the Germans as to be expected in the normal course of events. The Nazis are being sorely hurt in Russia. The efficiency of Hitler's war machine is being badly challenged. The losses have become too enormous to be accepted as normally expectable. Probably it is not being overly optimistic to assume now that Hitler's strength is being severely and permanently worn down in the ill-fared campaign against the Soviets. The Raids on Berlin . . . i Berlin has been bombed for the first time in fourteen months and has suffered grievous wounds on two successive nights. The Royal Air Force has struck direct at the heart of the Reich. This may not have been the most important, war news of the past week-end but it was sensational news. From the raid on Berlin Saturday night, only one British plane failed to return, suggesting implications as to effectiveness of anti-aircraft defences of the capital and one of the greatest industrial cities of the Reich. However, 22 British planes were lost in the repeat raids last night. The raids on Berlin will be the signal to expect reprisal attacks upon the cities of Britain. Possiblv it inspired the raids, weak as they may have been, that the Nazis essayed upon London last night. Martins. AB. Albert Lawry. OS. Ume ago.
