If any further indication is needed of the feeling in Britain that the war against Germany is Hearing its victorious climax it comes in the announcement that the Home Guard is being disbanded. It means that Germany is now regarded as a spent force able henceforth only to conduct a gesture of defence. The enthusiasm and energy of Britain's civilian army, which was conceived on war's outbreak, stood valiantly by through the dark days when invasion by the mighty Hun armies was a menacingly immediate threat and became developed into a fierce fighting force which, if necessary, would have given a mighty good account of itself had it been ever necessary to fight on beaches, fields or streets, was one of the marvels of this war. A nation aroused and ready to fight for its life to the last old man and young boy yes women and girls too was exemplified in that noble army which for years stood an even greater brunt of the war's arduosities than the enlisted fighting men themselves. The Home Guard may haye never actually fought but the -fact of its existence and the spirit of its being may well go on the record as having been one of the real factors in winning the war. The Home Guards of Britain are entitled to all honor and the respite they now get is richly due them. It would be quite in line with i lazi strategy to call "ouch" now i,'to get a breathing spell for the next round say twenty years hence. If it were not for propaganda, how much easier it would be to make up our minds. " i Atlas Boiler Works i J. L. Electric, Oxygen, Acetylene Welding, Blacksmith, Oeneral Repair.

Possibly it may be of interest and example to us at home to hear what the boys who are doing the fighting overseas are thinking, about politics. At our editorial desk here, we turned to "The Maple Leaf," Canadian Army publication in Brussels, and here is an editorial we found : "Political developments in Canada have been the subject of discussion and speculation by Canadians everywhere during recent weeks. Although the issues involved may be of particular interest to the Canadian Army, we must not take our eye off the ball. Our job at present overseas is to get on with fighting the war. Not that Canadian soldiers shouldn't take an interest in the affairs of their country. To the contrary. But the fact remains that if we are to operate as an efficient fighting team there can be no room for political issues within our ranks. "There is room here for timely discussion, but not for political opinions. "That Canadian soldiers overseas think about the affairs of their country is only too evident in letters received by The Maple Leaf. It is a most healthy sign and The Maple Leaf hopes this same interest will continue when we are back again on civvy street. Regardless of religious or political beliefs or of province, Canadian formations now overseas liavftshoxfn the finest example of unity in the history of our country.- The purpose of their unity has been to beat the German . . . Politics will have to wait." Post-war Spending . . . No one really knows whether individuals and business concerns wil be willing to spend their enormous purchasing power freely after the war. .It is conceived that the swift drop in government buying will leave people too frightened and dazed to spend their money. But if this happens, man will be behaving in a new way. Never before have millions of people with a nuge .excess of liquid assets been unwilling to use their purchasing power freely to feed and clothe themselves arid to buy shelter, education, trav1 and amusement, provided goods could be had at more or less customary prices. 1 1 Fresh Local Raw and Pasteurized MILK VALENTIN DAIRY PHONE 657 . i CURRY CHIROPRACTOR Qreen 995 Chiropractic I doubly sol THE DAILY A ft'Jf this and That Mi Uxffl " !.
