Of

of
Hitler,

all
his
evil

are
an
essential
part

any
armistice.
To
entertain
anything
else
is
stupid
even
to
think
about.
;
Hitler
goes
so
far
as
to
admit
it
is
time
for
unconditional
surrender
for
Germany
but,
doomed
man
that
he
is,
lie
is
not
ready
to
go
through
with
the
act
as
far
as
he
is
personally
concerned.
l'f
Hitler's
desire
to
remain
in
power
is
the
last
obstacle
to
Germany's
unconditional
surrender,
it
should
not
take
long
to
remove
it.
Not
Just
Political
Talk
.
.
.
;
Mr.
Churchill,
whose
war
leadership
h,as
been
so
often
endorsed
in
overwhelming
measure
whenever
he
chose
not
to
ask
for,
but
demand,
a
vote
of
confidence,
has
now,
in
his
usual
blunt
and
forthright
manner,
informed
the
British
people
that
he
also
intends
to
guide
his
people
through
the
trials
of
jieace.
;
Of
course,
nobody
ever
even
thinks
of
a
change
in
the
chieftainship
of
the
British
state
as
long
as
Mr.
Churchill
lives
in
health
and
competence.
When
the
tense
days
of
war
are
over,
how-qver,
Mr.
Churchill,
for
all
his
dogged
determination,
may
meet
stronger
challenges
than
are
within
the
range
Of
any
probability
during
the
war.
Such
is
the
character,
leadership
and
force-fulness
of
the
man,
of
course,
that
he
maa
never
be
overthrown
even
in
a
jjeytfetirne
general
election.
Certainly
none
can
rise
to
say
of
Mr.
Churchill
that
he
is
possessed
of
rfny
other
motive
than
the
conviction
that
his
is
the
right
way
for
his
country
and
that
he
himself
is
best
able
to
see
by
his
own
personal
direction
tliat
his
way
is
carried
out.
With
some
til
is
might
be
regarded
as
egotism.
With
Mr.
Churchill
we
will
have
to
admit
it
is
sincere
conviction.
'.
There
is
nothing
equivocal
about
Mr.
Churchill's
feelings
towards
the
Socialistsiuid
it
migTit
be
remembered
that
in
his
war
cabinet
he
has
some
Socialists.
Mr.
Churchill
is
all
out
for
free
enterprise
after
the
war
and
he
does
not
mince
his
words
when
he
says
"their
(Our
Socialist
friends')
program
.
.
.
implies
not
only
destruction
of
life
of
the
whole
of
the
existing
system
and
society
and
life
and
labor
but
the
creation
and
enforcement
of
another
system
or
systems
borrowed
from
foreign,
lands
and
alien
mincls."
In
YOUR
Red
Cross
Needs
YOUR
Dollars
for
relief
of
suffering
NOW!
Suffering
mounts
as
the
war
progresses
and
victory
nears.
The
merciful
ministrations
of
your
Red
Cross
are
needed
more
than
ever
for
prisoners
of
war,
wounded
and
sick,
victims
of
Nazi
This
space
contributed
by
Canada
those
words
coming
from
Liberals
or
Conservatives
might
be
called
insincere
political
talk
designed
as
propaganda
to
bolster
up
the
capitalistic
system.
Mr.
Churchill
warns
against
"hum-
bug
and
blandishment"
and
caution
his
own
party
against
bidding
for
votes
and
party
popularity
by
promising
what
cannot
be
performed.
Mr.
Churchill's
warnings
are
as
applicable
to
the
body
politic
in
Canada
as
they
are
to
that
of
Britain.
Canada
will
soon
be
in
an
election
campaign
where
there
will
be
"humbug,"
"blandishments"
and
"promises
which
cannot
be
performed"
and
the
words
of
the
British
Prime
Minister
are
therefore
eoincidentally
timely.
St.
Patriclt's
Day
.
.
.
Canadians
of
Irish
descent
along
with
Irishmen
all
over
the
world
tomorrow
celebrate
the
feast
day
of
Erin's
natron
saint.
St.
Patrick,
but
ap
propriately
enough
the
very
day
of
the
Holiday
was
decided
alter
a
lengthy
Irish
argument
which
according
to
legend
ended
in
a
truly
Irish
com-'
promise.
With
their
traditional
propensity
for
disagreement
on
any
and
all
subjects,
one
faction
in
Ireland
claimed
the
Saint's
birthday
fell
on
March
8,
while
an
opposing
party
claimed
the
birthday
was
really
March
9.
A
Solo-'
mon-like
Irish
priest,
Father
Mtilcahey,
is
said
to
have
settled
the
argument
by
adding

eighth

a
century
oi
so
of
thorough,
discussion.
His
legendary
birthplace
ranged
from
Scotland
to
France.
Historians,
on
the
!
contraiy,
say
Patrick
was
born
about
j
the
year
389
in
Wales
and
carried
off
at
an
earlyage
by
Irish
pirates
who:
sold
the
young
Christian
into
slavery
as
a
swineherd
in
county
Antrim.
Patrick
entered
the
priesthood
after
his
escape
to
France
several
years
later
and
returned
to
Ireland
eventually
as
a
missionary.
After
a
remarkably
successful
career
in
converting
the
pagan
Irish
to
Christian
itv.
Patrick
died
in
4G1
bequeathing
to
his
converts
j
numerous
legends
which
became
more
!
and
more
elaborate
as
the
years
passed.
The
shamrock.
Ireland's
trefoliate
emblem,
was
chosen
by
Patrick
in
the
course
of
his
work
to
explain
the
dogma
of
the
trinity
to
his
listeners.
Snakes
and
toads
were
banished
from
Erin
by
the
saint,
according
to
legend,
and
the
fact
remains
that
reptiles
are
unknown
in
Ireland
although
they
are
found
in
Scotland
and
England
