Editorial Correspondence
Vancouver, B. C, Oct. 31. No fooling, British Columbia is
the cream of Canada, Just as the Pacific coast is the cream of the
U. S. A. One has only to travel from coast to coast to know it.
A new hotel here since our last visit, the old Canadian Pacific
hotel "Vancouver" has been abandoned, and this new, imposing
edifice with the same name takes its place. Instead of being
conducted by the C. P. R. it is conducted by a separate corporation
on behalf of the C. P. R. and the Canadian National railroads.
We have seen enough of it to declare it one of the finest hotels
on the North American continent.
The old Canadian National's "Continental Limited" had hard
work to avoid getting here two or three hours ahead of time,
hut finally made it, thanks to many stops, and seldom releasing
the brakes. Arose early to see the scenery down the Frazer river,
and it was worth it, a gorgeous morning without a cloud in the
sky and the sun coming up, UNLIKE thunder, over the eastern
snow-tipped mountain tops.
And here is a new metaphor: "Consciousness of the fact crept
over him, as slowly as the dawn."
For on a clear morning is there anything more certain than
the sunrise, and yet more gradual, so gradual the changes are
almost imperceptible. We worked hard this a. m. to note when
the changes occurred, from faint icy light to the first real glow
of dawn; from a slowly retreating darkness to the first real
color, but finally gave up in disgust. It couldn't be done. The
changes were there, that's all, it was impossible to SEE them
come, or note just WHEN.
Why aren't more people sun worshippers? Why was the
practice ever abandoned? There surely is the core of our being,
let it falter for an instant, and your life and ours all human
life, QUITS! And think of the centuries, the AEONS, it has
been on the job, never stopping, never even hesitating, day in
day out, year In year out, century in, century out! And they say
it's good for two or three hundred million years more. The
SUN! that not only keeps human beings alive, but all life, down
to the most Insignificant spore on the moss along the railroad
track, and the chipmunk dashing off under the giant fern!
There are fidelity and service for you! But how much attention
do we pay to it? How much gratitude do we really feel for it?
Why most of us kick like steers if anyone suggests, we get up
early enough, once in a decade or two, to greet it respectfully
when it arises, and show some faint signs we appreciate its work!
We suggest the Yogi Movement retire in favor of the modern and
honorable order of Sun Worshippers. Is there a second?
Three days and three nights out from North Bay 76 hours
to be exact. Naturally we became pretty well acquainted with
the men and women on the train, all Canadians, with the exception
of an Irish doctor and his wife from Belfast, who plan to spend
the winter with their son and daughter in Victoria.
And quite as naturally the war was the chief topic of con
versation. With the exception of the Irish doctor, his wife never talked
about the war In our presence, there was a common attitude
toward the war, no one wanted it, but now that Great Britain
has been forced into it, Canada is behind her to a man and wom
an, and there will be no stop until Herr Hitler is not only thoroly
whipped, but all that he stands for has been swept from every
chancellory in Europe. In fact not only as a result of our experi
ence on this trans-Canadian train but our experience in Canada
for over a week, we would say, that Canada is far more enthusi
astically and completely behind England in this war than was
the case in 1014. And we wouldn't except Quebec although that
is the one province, where an anti-war party exists, and promises
to function after a fashion, in spite of its recent overwhelming
defeat.
Yes, Canada is 100 for the war and pursuing it, until Hitler
has bitten the dust for keeps. Yet, generally speaking there is a
complete absence either of war enthusiasm, or German hate.
, There was one Canadian aboard the train, in whose views
we were particularly interested, a veteran of the World war,
a member of the British Columbia parliament, and even in his
40's, well known throughout the Pacific northwest as a brilliant
amateur athlete, this man gave such an intelligent, sane, and yet
convincing view of the present
sorry and we told him so, that
make a lecture tour, or go on the
Forum broadcast.
Captain X fought for three years in France, entered as an
Infantry private and came out a captain in the air force, but
running through all his remarks was FIRST: complete and un
compromising condemnation of the Treaty of Versailles and its
punitive spirit; and SECOND: the hope that not only this time
there will be no repetition of that mistake, but that the final
result will be, the formation of a United States of Europe, with
Germany, England, France and Italy presenting a united front
against Stalin and the Communists.
Time after time he would say: "Why 'we shouldn't be fighting
Germany and if we hadn't forced Hitler on Germany at Versailles
we wouldn't be. The one supremo danger to Europe is Commun
ism, Communism and its hulf-brother Fascism, and Germany and
England should be arm In arm against it. That was Chamberlain's
idea, and if he hadn't had a criminal and a maniac to deal with, that
would have been the result at Munich. That's going to be the
result anyway unless the war utterly destroys all our common
sense and judgment. But before that or anything else can be
done. Hitler of course must be blacked out. blacked out so he
will STAY out. And if they need me again this lime, I am ready
to crank up and help them do it!"
There was a great deal more, some of which we doubt if it
Miild be wise, to repeat. He was extremely lenient as far as
Lindbergh was concerned, an opinion not shared by most ot
those present. But we liked the
this attitude revealed, as for that
expressed.
"I have met Lindbergh once," he explained, "and liked his
complete absence of side and fluff. Why crucify the poor chap
because he accepted some poor advice,--a deplorable mistake,
YES, but why not take all his
.lip. and try to ruin him because of it. That's one thing I can't
understand about you Americans, you insist upon making demi
gods out of your own, and then stone them to death when you
discover they are merely flesh and blood. What did you expect?
We had a great aviator too, Bishop but we didn't insist upon
making him out a demi god, we gave the man the V. C. and let
it go at that. But if he should sny something now that we re
garded as unwise, would we wish at once to tear the mans' heart
out? No, not at all. We really do believe in free speech, and we
would balance one fool remark he or anyone else. might make,
against the many that WEREN'T."
Incidentally we have yet to hear the slightest suggestion in
Canada, of criticism of Chamberlain. In fact many Canadians
have said thatliad Chamberlain broken with Hitler at Munich,
and war resulted, Canada would have refused any military assist
ance. It was what Hitler did AFTER Munich that convinced
Canada that Hitler had to go, and much as they detested war,
force alone could do it. R, W. R.

SALT WATE
A standard solution for eye
drops or eye wash is made by
dissolving a heaping teaspoonful
of boric acid
(formerly call
ed b o r a c i c
acid) in boiled
water, prefer
ably rain or
snow water or
distilled water,
a pint. Boric
acid is cheap.
It comes in
gran u 1 a r or
cry s t a 1 1 i n e
form or in the
form of fine
white powder. Boric acid is an
tiseptic. That is to say, it tends
to retard or stop the multipli
cation of germs. It is not germ
icidal that is, it does not de
stroy all germs. It is compara
tively non-irritating to the befdy
tissues and non-poisonous except
in very large quantity.
Boric acid has no specific
"healing" or remedial effect, so
far as I know.
When such a solution of boric
acid is used as drops or as eye
wash, the patient with inflam
mation of the eyes may feel
that it soothes the discomfort.
When used either as drops in
the eye or as an eyewash it
should always be warmed to
nearly the body temperature.
If you drop plain water in
the eye it smarts and irritates.
But if you dissolve a rounded
teaspoonful of common table
salt in the pint of water, boiled
water, and use such a solution,
at about body temperature, as
drops or eyewash, it is non
irritating That is approximately
the . salt strength of the tears.
These same strengths of boric
acid solution or salt solution,
made with boiled water, pref
erably rain or snow water or
distilled water, are better for
bathing wounds or burns or raw
surfaces, for the same reason
they are less irritating than
plain water because they have
nearly the same salt strength
as the blood serum itself.

The notion of a western progressive

While Costlgan was In Washington.
he also paid a call on John L. Lewis

support, but on the specific condition
that he or his lieutenants be con

James ' Roosevelt, who was John
Lewis's "anonymoUB ' Individual In
California counted on to provide
a plentltude of money." Whether or
not the word was correct, the plan
ners were spurred by the belief that
the president's eldest son was with
them. It waa also believed that the
Boettlgers were working with Cos
tlgan. In spite of all this busy activity,
however, the conference never as- i
sumed definite shape. It was hoped
that the president would address It
during the west coast expedition
which was cancelled by the war.
Senator George W. Harris was thought
of for the chairmanship and sponsors
as far apart as Harold Ickes and
Senator Key Pitt man were men
tioned. An agenda wrs drawn up,
lr. which the third term issue was
not mentioned. Yet only one thing
about the conference was not vague.
Its ultimate purpose was to build
a west coast political organization
of progressive flavor, which might
later be used bv the third term
movement. This was the foundation
or Lewis's attack.
The conference received its first
setback with the outbreak of the
war, for It waa hardly consonant
with the president's plea for non
partlsanshlp. Reportedly at the sug
gestion of members of the White
House secretariat, who had Joined
Mellte in disapproval, the conference
was postponed from October until
January. Then John Lewis had a
chat with California's Oovernor Cul
bert L. Olson during the C. I. O.
convention in San Francisco. Olson,
who had been approached about the
conference, mentioned It to Lewis
as being tn a fairly advanced stane.
Unfortunately, Costtgan had forgot
ten Lewis's stipulation, and the
C. I. O. leader had been calmly
ignored. He was distinctly riled.
He returned to Washington in an
Irritable mood, and called Senator
Burton K. Wheeler of, Montana, who
has lately forrmd a close alliance
with htm. Wheeler snld he had heard
nothing cither, and added a few
sharp words in his best style about

liberalism to themselves. Lewis Is
not In a very friendly mood towards

He thinks they need a sharp lesson
that labor is their ally, not their
dependent. Accordingly, he issued his
blast to teach the lesson. And the
conference may now be said to be

IT is still a war of diplomacy,

The diplomatic warfare hasn't
been going so well for Hitler

the British-French allies was a
hard jolt, and Mussolini's recent
shake-up of his black shirts, in
which pro-Germans appear to
have lost out and anti-Germans
were elevated to positions of
greater responsibility, conveys
the idea that Italy is shifting

TpODAY'S dispatches intimate
that recent German fighting

The war is still in the so-called

Autumn

here.
What a lovely time of year!
Trees have turned a gorgeous
hue,
Leaves are bright and skies still
blue.
Listen! hear that rustling sound?
See them flutter to the ground.
Red and yellow painted leaves
Lightly lifted by the breeze.
Someone's burning leaves some

Indian-summer, linger on,
We'll be sorry when you're gone.
There's another sign of fall!
Do you hear the wild geese call?
See them high against the sky,
Winging south with plaintive
cry.
Harvest and Thanksgiving day.
Open fires and time to play;
These among sweet other things
Are the joys that autumn brings.
Mrs. R. D. Chamberlain.
