determine what legislative changes
would be necessary.
This is indeed an epoch
change in the economic relations of
two countries hitherto divided by a
mutually high tariff wall that has
hindered the economic fusion which
geography itself tends to produce.
Much of Canada's industrial develop
ment has been due to American
branch plants established there not
only to avoid the tariff barrier to the
other British Empire markets under
the imperial preference policy which
has developed especially since the
Ottawa agreements of a decade ago.
War needs are so far-reaching that
there should henceforth be a
close dovetailing of Canadian and
American industry in order to obtain
maximum pooling and use Of each
nations facilities.

more pressing the emergency be-
comes, the greater must be this
integration. 1t is unlikely that
the end of the war can see any sud-
den or complete unscrambling Of
this economic omelette. A process of
economic integration has set in that
can never be wholly undone. This is
in line with the spirit of the times,
which clearly indicates that narrow
nationalism has had its day and that
the world must be run in accordance
with economic realities. Canada
and the United States already have
given the world the example of an
absolutely undefended frontier for
nearly 130 years. Unless all signs
fail, they are about to give another
example of economic understanding
which will be an equally inspiring
guidepost to the worlds future.

A NEW YEAR AHEAD
BIZ the Right James E. Freeman, D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.,
Bishop of Washington.

in this critical time that We shall be able
to triumph over all the forces Of evil. Let
us believe that in this day Of supreme
testing we shall be found worthy OF Him
who counted not His life dear unto Him
self.
A letter has just come to hand from
one who has known much suffering. He
quotes the poets words:
Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet It's truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above His own"
THAT assurance" says my friend
"helps to lift us out of detection and
despair We are under orders from One
who can never know defeat"
In one of the most momentous hours
toward the close of His great ministry,
Christ spoke to His disciples, admonish-
ing them that 1t was inevitable that they
would be tested by severe trials. In
graphic language He described the trials
that must come to men in the course of
their life pilgrimage. At the climax of
this serious prediction, He said: When
these things begin to come to pass, then
look up and lift your heads, for your
redemption draweth nigh"
1t is this supreme confidence in the
ultimate outworking of His divine plan
in which every man has his part, that
there must come to men everywhere the
hour of triumph. We are being called
upon to grid ourselves for the difficult
days that lie ahead. Final victory is our
determined will. To attain it will call
for all that we possess of moral courage
and dependence upon Him who, in the
hour of His greatest strain affirmed that
His mighty work was accomplished
That work will go on, despite war clouds,
and we shall find our strength individu-
ally and as a people in renewing our
faith and trust in Him who overcame
the world.

hand, have contended that Mr..
LANCER was seated conditionally,
pending investigation of charges
against him, and that the Senate has
full power to bar him, if convinced
of his unfitness. The majority of the
Elections and Privileges Committee
held to the latter view. Ordinarily,
moves to bar the seating of Sem
ator are predicated on acts dating
from his campaign for election. In
view of this background, full airing
of legal issues and precedents may
enliven Senate deliberations when
the report of the committee comes
up for debate on the floor.

Noble Anqer

Several times in his addreSS 10
the Congress Of the United States,
Winston Churchill made use of his
opportunity to express sense OF
indignation and resentment which
millions of those who listened to his
voice have felt during the fortnight
Just passed. The Prime Minister
spoke of ian Olympian fortitude"
which he detected "in Washington
in these memorable days" and he
wished it to be understood that the
quality which he thus described, "far
from being based upon complacency,
is only the mark of an inf1eXlble
purpose and the proof of a sure,
well-grounded confidence in the
final outcome"
Britain, Mr.. Churchill then eX-
planned, had the same feeling in
our darkest days. We, too, were sure
that in the end all would be we'll"
For the moment, he conceded that
"the forces ranged against us are
enormous. They are bitter, ruth
less. 80 They will stop at nothing
that violence and treachery can sug-
gest. . ." We have, therefore,
without doubt, time of tribulation
before u.s."
Such was the measured and care
fully reasoned doctrine Of the Prime
Minister'S speech. Yet he did not
rest on the philosophy set forth in
the excerpts here quoted. Quite de-
nberately he chose to name the
power-the dynamic force-which
the democratic societies of the earth
must employ for the achievement
of their holy goal. "The flame of
anger" he said, must be turned
against "the brutal, corrupt in
vaderS"
Perhaps Mr.. Churchill was think
ing of the fourth scene in the second
act of king Lear" The King has
arrived at Gloucester's castle and
beheld the Earl Of Kent in the stocks
An insult so plainly intended
prompts his royal rage. He appreci-
ates now the shameful attitude OF
his graceless children and their hus-
bands. AS the full impact of the
blow falls upon his heart, he raises
his hands to Heaven with the cry:
"You see me here, you gods, poor
old man,
AS full of grief as age; wretcheo
in both!
.ss Touch me with noble anger!'
Or, from a greater book thar
Shakespeare's, the Prime Minister
may have remembered how, as st
Matthew tells, the Son of Man "cas1
out all them that sold and bought
in the temple" There were othel
occasions when the lightning O
divine wrath flashed for the correc'
ton of intolerable evil.
So is it now. The common people
: the little people of whom God mad
!, so many, are demanding: "Wha
, kind of a people do they think w
are? Is it possible they do no
, realize that we shall never cease t,
persevere against them until the,
have been taught lesson whicl
they and the world will never for
get?%" " Do we not owe it to our
: selves, to our children, to tormente,
: mankind, to make sure that thes
r catastrophes do not engulf us TO
the third time?"
Mr.. Churchill has heard the an
r swer In the sound Of marching fee
4 Freedom, slow to take o6ense,
r rising to tts task at last.

MIAMps c. OF c. RIDES AGAIN

Miami's chamber of commerce. cap
able Of dealing out Magic City superlatives
like sideshow spelI-binder, is getting itself
accused here of seasoning its ION Miami"
campaign with little down everybody
else
And that, as we have eontended be
fore. isn't very smart OF Niami's chamber
Of commerce
Ii Miami is the biggest, gaudiest, gay
est, loudest, most tinseled. fastestegrowing,
warmest in winter and coolest in summer
city on earth, a large part ofthe credit must
go to its chamber and its publicity cam
paigns: We grant them that, and if the
Miami city limits signs finally are posted
ON the Georgia border, it will be only fit
ting climax to the wondrous campaign they
have already staged.
So, if Miami wishes to say that Miami Is
the best city of cities and of Fairgrounds.
that's fine But, when Miami adds 10 that
the statement that Key West hasn't any
water, or anything to eat or-most recently
-anyplace to sleep, the boys are getting a
little out of line.
The water and food thing, of course,
has come up often before, spread more or
less unofficially by too Jealous Miami sup
p0rters, but the you can't get a place 10
sleep there" story is understood here to
come from the chamber of commerce
Everyone here knows and is willing to
admit that there is shortage OF cheap
aFatr
dence. Families of navy men are having a
hard time finding places to settle. and some
license workers have been unable to find
any hing in their income bracket for their
families.
But to tell prospective Key West visi
tors there is no sense in coming here because
they won't be able to get place to sleep Is
ridiculous. Hotels and apartments are not
filled, and the tourist camps do have extra
cabins still to be occupied
In addition to that, building is going
ahead as rapidly as it is possible to get men,
and will be rushing soon when more men
are freed from some of the big government
construction projects nearing completion.
The Miami chamber of commerce, with
its crime wave, hurricanes and one-thing-
and-anothers over a period of years, has
had great deal of experience in mailing
down outright lies, catching up with half
truths and warding off stories likely to have
bad effect on the tourist business Mi
amians should be the last to start against
others the same kind of stories which have
hurt them when released in other places.

RUSSIANS HAVE EARNED ASSISTANCE


The battle in Russia continues un-
abated, with the result uncertain. The Rus
slams, according to late dispatches, are
slowing the German advance, but it is too
early to say that Hitler has failed in his new
campaign.
Back of the German offensive is the
desire to knock out the Red army. This will
occur when the Russians run out of fighting
equipment, tanks, planes, guns and am
munition. Behind the ineessant Nazi at
tacks IS the hope that the Soviet has not suf-
fieient reserve strength to keep the fight
going.
There is little prospect that Great
Britain or the United States will be able to
rush supplies to Russia in time to relieve her
present plight. This is not to say that sup
plies should not be rushed. The Russians
have already won the support of the free
nations of the world by their heroic resist
ance and deserve to survive unto a better
day

CoMMENDABLE PROCEDURE

Something new in labor technique is
reported from Philadelphia, where union,
rather than call a strike to interfere with
production of hats and caps for the armed
forces, has filed suit in equity, seeking to
enforce labor contract.
In other words, instead of calling
strike, the labor union has gone into the
courts. requesting that its Interpretation of
the contract be enforced by the courts.
The action, it is hoped, will serve las pat
tern to other labor organizations and
Obviate the necessity for industrial strike"
We hasten to commend the Hat. Cap
and Millinery Workers International Union
of the American Federation of Labor for
this interesting procedure. Certainly. both
the union and the employer ought to be
anxious for a judicial Interpretation of the
contract that exists between them. More
over, the decision of the court will probably
be less expensive to both the union and the
employer.

A Key Wester stated most emphati-
cally in The Citizen office a few days ago
that it is up to the citizens ofia this COM
munity to merge the city with the county,
thus saving the taxpayers a considerable
sum of money. Up to the present time few
public office holders have been able to
block this consummation devoutly to be
wished. When it was proposed that the
candidates for councilman be queried as to
their standing in the matter, this Key Wester
said it would do no good since most eandi-
dates promise anything before election and
when in office either repudiate their promise
or find some excuse for failure to keep their
word. Only an aroused and militant citi-
zenry can bring about the generally de
sired change in the set-up.

"Oh, jerry" A wave Of tender
ness swept over her. The sort Of
thing that always happened when
Jerry was near her. He was the
maddening kind Of person who
made her want 10 forgive every

Don't try to deny If; your eyes

bright, artificial gayety:
