EDITORIAL - NO TIME FOR NONSENSE Judged by the comments of Allied statesmen and the stern faces of the men who are devoting their tinie. and talents to the erection of an international structure that will prevent future wars, the announcement of final victory over the Axis will find a world in an extremely sober mood with a realiza- iticm1 that winning the peace, too, will be a testing jtime immeasureably more exacting than anything jin history. Last night the local city council discussed the; matter of celebration of the forthcoming Armis- 1 iice-uay. Anyone who remembers Nov. 11, 1918, it was a day of jubilation. But we venture 'tO'preaict mat even u tne Ainea leaders nave any definite concept of what form the next armistice will take whether marking the end of organized resistance, or the signal for the beginning of a protracted thaftle with a Hitlerian underground movement it will find us in a different mood Armistice Day in 1918, for all the undertone of sorrow and all the lives yost, was something like a football victory. There nvere bands and noisemakers and confetti and dancing i an the streets. But we are likely to view the next Armistice Day as one that marks the passing of a crisis n a long and serious illness and the beginning of a protracted convalescence. ) Twenty-six years ago the fight was won. Hohen-ollernsm had bitten the dust; never was its like to jrise again or so we thought. Only the very cynical or the very far-seeing doubted that. Verily the war o end war had itself ended. Today we can already envision the tremendous job that,, lies behind the .peace problems of frightening magnitude all over 'tne world. And these prlemsare"problems'for Can adians to contemplate with ordered thought and jstern resolve. Removed from the actual scene of jconflict as we have been, we cannot escape the back-jwash. And it is well that we knowliow sick the world jhas become, and how contagious that sickness can jbe. Perhaps knqwing-tha); will enable us to help nurse jit back to real health this time even though the cdl- uabui naiure ui ine tasK leaves no time or inclination for dancing in the streets next Armistice Day. In any event, our city fathers and others, while making all appropriate arrangements for thanksgiving exercises, should realize by this time that returning warriors will want to know how their future has been considered, what preparations are being nmue mr meir aDsorption into tne warp and woof of civilian life. Men and women doffing the uniform will not be interested in city celebrations. They will be looking for some signs of progress for a long-overdue manifestation of practical vision and civic pride. We should keep our feet on the ground. ONWARD CANADA! Word that the great white Vimv Rid jin France, Canada's tribute to her dead of the First World War, is little damaged sends a wave of re-jlief across our Dominion. - The bitterness that swept Canada early in the .present connict wnen reports were current that the uermans nau desecrated the memorial has been tempered, but does not swerve the Allies from their purpose of bringing the Reich and her cohorts to their knees. Canadians have twice stormed up the heights of Vimy Ridge. In 1917 the fighting Canucks first captured the ridp-e and this victnrv thrillpd th fo world.
