WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, d. c.
One of the most beautiful build
ings in Washington is the Pan-Amer-
lean Union with palm-and-parakeet-
ed patio, its great lily pond with an
ancient Inca idol idly dreaming be-
side its waters.
But there is one valuable object
dart in the cellar, swathed in pro-
tecting burlap and excelsior which
is not displayed It is chair which
matches a suite of 81 others which
stand around a great table in the
hall of the Americas, each of which
bears the seal of a Latin-American
republic.
The chair in the cellar has the
genial beaver, Canada's national pet,
carved upon it.
The news is that that chair is
threatening to burst out of its cere-
ments and walk on its four legs up
the cellar steps to its place at the
table.
Two men, more than any others,
are responsible for the restlessness
of this piece of furniture. One is
tall. gray, dynamic Leighton McCar-
thy, Canadian ambassador to the
United States. The other is Prime
Minister Mackenzie King.
There probably never has been a
time in history when the United
States and Great Britain have been
closer in thought and action, despite
their multifold points of difference in
peace time. than they are today.
But, paradoxically, it is some of the
points of difference that have
brought Canada nearer to the Unit
ed States than Our Lady of the
Shows has ever been before. The
United States very nearly occupies
the position of an interpreter between
the mother country and the domain
on some points, but the great bond
between the Yanks and the Canucks
is probably the simple, common

Lord Halifax had said:

AS the years passed, Mother Eng

Kipling's verdict and accepted the
statute of Westminster. giving the
dominions their autonomy. Now she
wonders about that union which is
necessary for her strength. She
wants closer cohesion of the Com
monwealth. Lord Halifax made the
suggestion, not officially. and with
great restraint.
Earlier, Field Marshal Jan SHUTS
of the Union of South Africa had
made a speech urging closer CO.
operation of the smaller European
countries with the United Kingdom.
On the Monday following Lord
Halifax's speech, Prime Minister
Mackenzie King was questioned con-
corning its meaning in the Canadian
house Of commons.
King stated that he was sure the
speech had been misinterpreted,
that he had been assured that it was
not the official attitude Of the British
government, but he also said it was

that God shows His love by a great

This is majestic picture. The
Son of God and Son of Man steps
into the center of this unholy traffic

(not anger drives it out. The peo-
pie who had suffered long because OF
this religious racket, which paid q
nice "cut' to the priests themselves
probably as gift" even as such
things are managed now), were jubi-
liant.
We read in the same story in
Matthew 21:12-22 that the boys who
were in the temple (for such is
doubtless the meaning Of Children
in verse 15) were so delighted at
this magnificent exercise Of His d.
vine authority that they broke out
into "Hosannas." which really
amounted to a holy "Hurrah."
Well, why not? Hurrah for our
Lord! He will not tolerate iniquity
even though it hides under the cloak
of religion. He is not afraid to speak
out and to act against sin and cor
ruption.
Possibly the church would reach
good many more men and boys
in our day if it would step out In
faith to fight the wrong and support
the right. Then maybe the young
men would shout. 'Hurrah for the
church"
The chief priests and scribes were
afraid and displeased and began to
plot against Him. The passage in
Matthew indicates that their anger
was aroused both by the acts Of
Jesus and the praise of the boys

Retributive Justice

Following criticism of Allied bombing of Germany,
voiced by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the
British House of Lords various American prelates have
been giving expression to their opinions.
AS would expect, condemn the bombing.
John Hayne Holiness pacist, terms the bombing an
'atrocity of which we should be ashamed"
This is an extreme view which few Americans,
in the ministry, endorse. The prevalent view,
IT, that of Dr. Norman Vincent Peae of the Reformed
Church of America, who says:
Berlin and other cities should be bombed
Retributve justice does not getting even,
eye for eye and tooth for tooth, but it's purpose
is to make these Nazs everastngy of the fact

AS our Lord entered upon the last
week Of His earthly ministry, the
time had come for Him to present
Himself officially to His people as
their Messiah. AS He did so, we
observe that He then had and now
has a right to claim all that we have
and are, as well as to exercise judy
ment over US.
/. His Right to Property wv. In.
We are so prone to call our pos
sessions our own, and to hold them
for our selfish purposes. Just mo-
ment's reflection makes us aware
that we are but stewards holding
our things, as we hold ourselves,
for the use of God.
That means that the Lord need
only send for what we have, and we
should gladly yield it to Him. THE
Lord hath need" is the only requisi-
ton we need. He has absolute pri-
GRITTY. And yet the very fact that
He has need of us and what we
have, dignifies our service or sacri-
fee on His behalf.
How surprising it was that the
One who Nmade and upholds all
things (Col. 1:16, I'D should have to
say, 1.-THE Lord hath need of him"
in sending for a humble beast of
burden. Yet therein lies marvellous
truth. He has graciously so ordered
the universe that He has need of US
and of our possessions.
Let us also learn the important
lesson of unquestioning obedience
taught in verse 4. ''They went their
way" to do what the Lord told them
to do. How greatly simplified and
glorified would be the lives Of Chris
tan people if they would thus obey
Christ.

Basis for
Lrdustr al Cooperation

Quite aside from any diplomatic
considerations, plain business men
and others interested in hemisphere
solidarity are considering basis
for Canadian-American industrial
cooperation.
The Institute of Pacific Relations
says that Alaska, the Yukon, Mac
Kenzie Valley. northern British Co.
lumbia and Alberta constitute vast
area of potential economic develop
ment:
Air routes to Alaska and the
nearest sources of supply for
military supplies, such as oil, lie
through or in the Canadian North
west AS an air route. the future of
the Northwest is assured. Over it
lie the great circle or near great
circle routes, and the economic
routes between the densely populat-
ed regions of Asia and North Amer
lea.
There are mutual strategic
economic benefits in Canadian-An. =
lean partnership for postwar devel-
opment of the Pacific Northwest"
Exploitation of the natural re-
sources in this zone can be devel-
cped and is urged through a close
working partnership by the United
States and Canada. This would re-
quire the pooling Of information, tech
nical facilities and the investment
of private capital (not public funds)
This is the type of industrial cooper
alton that has characterized the eco
nomic history Of the two countries
in the past. The comment continues:
Already two great undertakings
in joint defense and joint develop
ment are being carried out. Amer.
leans built the Alaskan highway
Canadians built the bases for the
air route it parallels and serves.
The highway was an assurance OF
the security Of Alaska; the defense
OF Alaska was an assurance Of the
safety of Canada. The North Pacific

Another Prophecy
In 1924 Woodrow Wilson, said:

In 1924 Woodrow Wilson, sad
The great tragedy of the last six years is the fact
that American failure to accept world responsibility
that the job will have to be done over again
within twenty years at ten times the cost"
There is way to dispute the accuracy of the
forecast made by the great President The American
people, mised by Isoationiss and peace fanatics,
csed every ingenuity and staagem to escape becoming
involved in The present participation of this
try should establish the fact that the United States
exists in the world and is part of the world.
The prime question before the people of this coun-
try today is whether upon the conclusion of the present
conflict, they will again reject world responsibility and
make it possible for somebody to prophesy correctly
that they will have to do the job again within the next
twenty years and at ten times the cost of the present
struggle.

Offensive Spirit

About two years ago the newspapers and radio were
crammed with observations, expert and amateur that
the Allies could not win the by defense and deplor
ing the failure to develop the offensive which was pay
ing such neat dividends to the enemy.
These critics overlooked the fact that an unarmed
offensive spirit is worthless in war, that the Allies had
not the tools of warfare and that they did not have the
manpower where it could do the work.
1t has been long, uphill pull to produce the stuff
and train the men, The job hardly complete before
Allied generals and admras began to display the often

Sinking The U-BOats

Ocean is of paramount Importance on the eve of the
Anglo American offensive against Nazi Europe
1t is interesting to note that the campaign against
the Uboats has been highly successful in January with
losses of merchant ships among the lowest monthly fig
for the whole war;"
President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill
in a joint statement, declares 'The German claims
should usual be ignored they grossly exagger
ated and issued purely for propaganda purposes"
The statement also reports that more U-boats were
destroyed in January than in December despite the linn
tied opportunities to make such attacks. Apparently
