Sir, Where do we go from here? Allow me to make a point that none of your other contributors made.

Let's turn back the pages of history and see what a certain British statesman named Gladstone thought about it. Not once, but again and again the great Gladstone warned his people that they must ever be alert to extend sympathetic encouragement to democratic movements, wheever they showed themselves on the European mainland Gladstone appeared to realize, as our present crop of British statesmen) do not. that no democratic empire, spread out so widely and thinly as ours, can hope to endure, much less prosper, unless it Is careful to cultivate good will among other freedom loving peoples. Alns, but we Vnow better now. than Gladstone knew.

When the Russians first over threw their scandalous Czarist regime we sent an expedition to restore Russia to the Romanoffs. Granted the present regime In Russia smells to heaven, can 11 be much worse than the cruel despotism it succeeded? Nevertheless, during recent months we snubbed I.ilvinoff again and again, completely disregarding the wonii of a friendly Russia on lermanys eastern horizon. Certainly we showed no Interest in the Russian brand of democracy. In 1932 when Uncle Sam suggested that we might join him in persuading Japan to abandon her rape of the infant Chinese republic, we were not interested. We showed no concern for Oriental democracy.

When an ex bootlegger, an exiled king and a traitorous army officer combined to overthrow a legally constituted democratic government in Spain, we devised that infamous non intervention committee, which deprived the Spanish government of its right to import what war material was required to put down the rebellion, although we knew quite well that the dictators were supplying what the rebels required. We were not interested in Spanish democracy, except to do what we could, quietly, to throttle it. Is it any wonder Hitler considered it safe to wipe out democracy in Czechoslovakia? We had shown him. not once but three times, how little we cared for democracy. That noise you hear over London is not the approach of a fleet of bombers from Berlin.

It is merely the forgotten man, Gladstone, tumlne over in his grave. Killarney, Dec. 5. 19.38. DEMOCRAT.

Nazis Win Elections German Folk Prosper To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir, In The Tribune of Dec. 2nd and 3rd, 1938, appeared answers on my question of Nov. 26: Who is responsible for Naziism in Germany? Both writer a a 1 a and bring out the old phrases, one about Capitalism, the other, about the Kaiser, Hitler, which we read hundreds of times in papers, books, since the Great War: hut they have no answer to above question and why 90 percent of the German people and just now 99 percent of the Sudeten Germana give their votes to the Nazi government Why did, the always before, red and black (Ca'holic) districts in Germany, favor Nazi in the German elections? The highly educated intelligent German people can't be all wrong and elections in Germany are not worse than in any other country. It seems that everything that goes wrong in the world today is the fault of the Kaiser, Hitler and Germany.

The democracies fought in 1914 for everlasting peace, but if we follow the years from 1918 till now. we find that there was a smaller or bigger war in progress every year. Unemployment, strikes, disorders and crime waves are the conditions twl.ty in most of the democratic countries. Germany did pay her war debt till she was bled white, but so far as I know from the other nations only Finland did pay in full. I assure "Canadian" that I know the conditions well in Germany, and advise him, that if he wants to see the well fed and happy people, mm (mm hh i.r will The slogan One Leader One People One Country did the onder to unite the German people and show them the way to success.

In Ccrmnny today everybody, rich or poor, has to work and get experience with pick and shovel also. I appreciate the letter of Young Scotch Canadian; he works in the peace spirit of Prime Minister inamnenain, me oniy way ior everlasting peace. BEROL1NA, Winnipeg, Dec. 8. 1938.

Replies To Letter From German Editor To the Editor of The Tribute. Sir. I wish to reply to the edi tor of the German paper Deutsche Zeitung fur Canada. This gentle man evidently believes in Hitler's theories. All right, I suggest we proceed to apply them In Canada.

In the first place Hitler wants to get rid of all the Jews and it appears to ma that it will be up to the A and, Britain to find a place for them which will cost millions, so I suggest w'e confiscate all the wealth of Germans in the US.A. and the British Env pire. Another suggestion, all pro perty be taken from the Germans and given to British and American Aryans. I would ask this German editor this: Suppose I was an editor ot a Canadian paper in Berlin, would I have the privilege to criticize openly Germany and German methods as he is doing in Canada? i would aUo tell him this: Did you TO THE ever hear of a man called Napoleon the king maker and also what happened to him? I would ask this German editor why he and millions of other Germans emigrated to English speaking countries instead of to the German colonies. Also 1 would remind him that in all the German colonies in 1914 there were only 24.000 Germans and they were mostly gf the sabre rattling type which he will no doubt rememher the ones he used to step off the sidewalk for to allow them to pass.

The poor Germans are being badly treated and especially Hitler himself who is so honorable, whose word is as good as his bond. We heard him over the radio also his sidekick, and I thought sure both of them would burst a blood vessel. We also heard Chamberlain, but of course he was very mild; he had no "Kultur." This letter is for the consumption of the German editor and his tvpe. not for fh thousand and one peaceful Germans that I have met, yes, many whom I number among my closest friends. OLD TIMER, Winnipeg, December 6, 1938.

Soys Brooklands Wants More Information To the Editor of The Tribune: Sir. A meeting was called by the Brooklands Sanitary Board to discuss the sewer and water project. The first speaker was Mr. Aiken, M.L.A.. who stated that the Public Utility Board refused to sanction the passing of a by law to raise $15,000 as Brooklands' share toward the cost of a water system.

The next speaker, the chairman of the Sanitary Board, told us that we would have to raise $13,000 as our share toward this scheme and the work of digging ditches would he done by the unemployed at 124 percent plus relief. As the four members of this board are supporters of the I.L.P. CC.F. party you would hardly think that any supporter of labor would advocate that men work on a sewer and water project at these terms. This same board recommended at a meeting in March, 1937, that this work be carried out at union wages and the fair rate of wages for laborers, but they always forget to put a union label on all their printed matter.

The officals of this Sanitary Board should ask themselves this question, when are the unemployed, unemployed? You could hardly say that a man digging ditches on a long drawn out project of this description was unemployed. A third speaker asked that all property owners pay $15 per 25 loot lot. The Brooklands Sanitary Board should bear in mind that although BiooKianos is under the supervision of the Municipal and Public Utility Board, the Municipal Act of Manitoba has to be considered before making any rash promises and statements. The propery owners, I am certain, would welcome meeting with a representative from the Public Utility Board, also from the Department of Pub lic Works, to outline just what the government intends to do. A by law should be submitted to the pro perty owners so that they know just where they stand.

A project of this description should be done in a business like manner and according to the Municipal Act. After all, it is the property owners who have to bear the burden of the upkeep of this scheme, and it is up to the government to let the property owners know everything and not eave this in the hands of a self appointed committee. Brooklands, Dec. 8, 1938. W.

LEASK. Destroying The Loan Shark To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir, In two years' experiment, one chartered bank has loaned six teen million dollars in Its recently organized department to supply personal loans to wage earners. In every part of the Dominion facili ties are now offered in this direc tion by the one institution which introduced the idea. Previously these sixteen millions would have probably been advanced by loan sharks at exorbitant rates of Interest, plus large sums for al leged investigation ana incidental expenses.

Yet, is there any more reliable security for small loans than that afforded by a man of family, who has held a position for years and earned the reputation of paying his obligations a good citizen! After all, character is in truth the basis of all banking, plus, of course, reasonable probability of being able to repav. But this is the first time a chartered bank has entered the personal loan field. It will be worth watching as an economic experiment. Canada, of course, has never been cursed with the loan shark racket to the extent of people south of the line, where it has long been a public scandal with unscrupulous individuals preying upon that class of society which needed protection most. Indeed the loan shark or ganizatlona in Canada were first branches of those In the States.

One of the most notorious of this type was a Detroit firm which established branches in most cities on this side. Their operations became so notorious that they were forced out of business in the Dominion and ultimately the head of the company sent to prison in his home town. It is not too much to expect with the extension of personal loans as a policy of all chartered banks that these private parasites will find it desirable to get out of the Canadian field completely.

PORTER, Winnipeg, Dec. 14, 1938. Wants To Hear From The Ordinary Citizen To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir, The series of article "Where do we go from here?" are written I notice, mostly by college professors, K.C.'s and M.P.'s, How about hearing for a change from some of the "common herd who doubtless are also interested and have opinions on the European situation. Winnipeg.

Dec. 7, 19.38. A. H. BINGHAM, EDITOR Answers Contention As To Jewish Rights To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: I refer to a letter published in The Tribune on Tuesday, Dec. 6th last, written by L. H. Feld hauev, appavently a Nazi, commenting on an editorial of late under the caption "A Nazi Viewpoint" dealing, among other things, with the Jewish questlun In Germany. More particularly do I refer to that writer's last sentence of his letter, namely: "No such (Jewish) state is in existence and the Jews are scattered all over the world making their living as parasites among, and of, non Jews." This writer expresses here in this country the same vile propaganda that his cohorts do in his own country, namely, firstly, that there is no right of protest or expression of public opinion by the outside civilized world, and, secondly, that it is an Internal, domestic affair of uermany and therefore there is no right, of interference from abroad.

There is no better right for the wTiter of that letter being here than there is for anyone else but judging hy his expressions he belongs back in his Germany where he would live in the crude justice of the Nazi government where neither his very life nor property would he tv.vn where hia home would have no sanctity, constantly overrun with guards and storm troopers as and when they fancied to call where he himself might, for no reason whatsoever, he put in a concentration camp indefinitely at the whims of his Nazi friends or might be lined up against the wall where he would have no right of expression of his religious beliefs or politics. If this gentleman likes it so much there why not go back? You cannot fool the world al though the Nazi government can and does fool their people by sup pression of the press and other suppressions and they really have ifneulties in knowing of external civilized world opinion about their government. Czechoslovakia was. if there ever was, a liberal democracy, dealing liberally and peacefully with all her nationals. They were broken hearted when the Nazis stamped into their little country and crushed their souls.

There was no suppres sion of the Sudeten Germans there nor of any other group or minority. The Nazis worked up strong propa ganda in their own country through suppression of their peoples but the outside world knows the true facts. According to Feldbauer's logic, if there was suppression (which there was not) of the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia, it was no concern of the Nazis (inasmuch as the writer Feldbauer stated that the dealing with the Jewish problem in Germany was an internal affair and of no concern to the outside world). Further, It is true that the whole civilized world of late, of its own accord, took up the hue and cry against the Nazis by protests because of the savagery in dealing with a defenseless and homeless minority. As for Faldbauer's conception of Justice It is likely to he of the type of his colleagues abroad, to wit, because there Is no Jewish state therefore the Jews have no rights.

Needless to say, we all have rights even to the writer of that objec tionable letter to the editor. Where his sense of justice or of morals? L. A. M. PEIKOFF Winnipeg, Dec.

8. 19.38. Labor Women Express Sympathy For Jewish People To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir, Daily reports of continued persecution of Jewish people in Germany and other Fascist states are being read with increasing horror by all liberty loving people. That this enlightened era should witness the imposition of pograms characteristic of the darkest ages, reflects sadly upon civilization.

Forced return of Jewish people to the Ghettos, and the terror of concentration camps and scatter ing of families over the face of the earth in search of peace id security, must be regarded with deepest pain by women every where. With such facts before them, the plight ot the Jewish people, was discussed at the monthly council meeting of the Labor Women Federation of Manitoba. The sec retary was instructed to write ex pressing the sympathy of the members of this organization to our Jewish sisters, further, to assure them of our desire to assist them, and all persecuted people, to bring about a social order of tolerance and freedom. W. SMITH, Sec.

L.W.F. of Manitoba. Winnipeg, Dec. 9, 1938. Y.M.CA.

In Europe To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir, On December 8th. the Polish Y.M.CA. celebrated its 15th anniversary. The Polish Y.M.CA.

was the outgrowth of the work the American Y.M C.A. did for the Pol ish soldiers during the war with the Bolsheviks in 1919 1920, and Its subsequent work for Polish railway men, typhus refugees. Impoverished students Just returning from war, and groups of the genuine civil population during those difficult post war years. Seeing the American Y.M.CA. in elective ac tion, the Poles wanted one of their own, and at their request the American M.C.A., later assisted bv the Canadian Y.M.CA,.

has helned. them develop it. Fifteen leaders or tne ronsn Y.M.C.A. have been decorated with the Cross of Merit. Beginning with rented quarters in Krakow, Lodz and Warsaw, they have added Poz nan and Gdynia and built three of the best Y.M.CA.

camp in Europe. Membership has grown from 659 members in 1923 to 7,287. To this must be added 1,776 women and 9,549 men and women, boyi and girls who though not officially counted as members are enrolled In regular work in the physical department. This makes a total of 18.612 persons regularly served by fie Polish Y.M C.A.; 3.839 members are enrolled in 187 organized groups; 15,831 books are In the Uhraries. They began with 18 Polish secretaries and seven Ameri "'m i Ti In Padded Cell: by P.CBEItT IP.WIN in the Ne York court where he was sentenced to 139 years for the confessed murders of artists' model Veronica Ged eon, her mother and a male boarder, earned him a padded cell In Sing Sing prison.

He is pictured denouncing "rich man's justice." cans. Now they have 40 Polish secretaries and one American. The American Y.M.CA. turned $40,000 of property over to the Polish Y.M.CA. in 1923.

The Polish Y.M.CA. today possesses worth of property, including three modern Y.M.CA. buildings. The Polish Y.M.CA. recently sent the following message to the Y.M C.A of North America: 'Rejoicing in this growth and wide usefulness.

the Polish Y.M.CA. here says 'thank you' to all in Canada and United States who have had a part in creating it." E. J. GLKNESK, General Secretary, Y.M.CA. Winnipeg, Dec.

13, 1938. Cost Of Radio Tubes To the Editor of The Tiltmne. Sir, I have noted with interest your recent obscure articles regarding the Importing of radio tubes from U.S.A., and the resulting inquiry in Calgary, I don't understand why this Inquiry is not front pace news. Your paper claims to be devoted to pub lic service and this is a pond chance to acquaint the public with some of the cnuses of high price electrical equipment, especially that which is monopolized by the holders of patents. You can be assured of a good deal of support from the dealers from coast to coast and also departmental stores who have danced to the tune of these patent rights quite long enough, to say nothing of the con.sumers who are beginning to wonder why they are continually paying higher prices for electrical goods very similar to those of the U.S.A.

prices that are not only subjected to duty but also fixed values, protecting a concern which had reason to say that occasionally Canadian manufacturers are faced with a shortage. It would be interesting to know: Why are they faced with a shortage Where do the goods come from to fill this shortage? What prices are paid in landing charges to bring in these goods? G. B. MONK. Winnipeg.

Dec. 10, 1938. A Way To Provide For The Lions To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Here is a way to accomodate these lions, without trying to find the money In the porket" taxpayers. The city has built and now owns expensive pavilions and refreshment stands of the cit's parks, why golf courses.

Until a few years ago, all these stands were operated by the city. But today the refreshments business in all the parks and the golf courses of the city Is let to private interests for a nominal amount of rent. I would like to a. a question: If private interests can make monev by operating the refreshment stands of the city's parks why cannot the city itself do the same? There is no need of extraordinary business talent for one to operate refreshment stands, and if the city will take over and operate them again there will he plenty of money to build convenient quarters for the lions. We should keep the lions as an attraction for the tourist business.

W.K. Winnipeg, Dec. 15, 1938. Defends Chamberlain To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir In your issue of November 24, Mr.

A. M. Graham criticises a letter of mine appearing in your is sue of November 18. He claims that Britain has lost prestige as a result of the Munich settlement. I submit the following for his consideration.

In the first place Chamberlain received an ovation from the German people such as no British statesman or premier ever did before. The city of London gave him a welcome never before accorded to an individual. The Oxford by election gave him a strong endnrsntinp The British parliament stood loyally by him. The French chamber of deputies gave him and his settlement an overwhelming support. France and Germany are now standing solidly by Britain, and there is a friendly re approachment on the part of Italy.

There Is also a general feeling of appreciation not only from the other British nations but from the other nations of the world except Russia and possibly a few others of lesser Importance. Britain has never stood higher in the esteem of the major nations of the world than she does now. Mr. Giaham mentions increased expenditure for armaments that has been going on for some three years. He also refers with appreciation to Lloyd George, a man who today stands discredited in his own country, one who has wrecked the once powerful and respected Liberal party and now has the idiocy to classify communistic Russia as a democracy, the vilest tyranny that has ever existed.

He is only barging along today, on audacity and the faded glory of past eminence. Mr. Graham presumes to apeak for the majority of Canadians. What does he know about what the people of Canada think? Mr. Graham In questioning my statement that the Czechs were free says.

"Yes, free to obey the orders of Hitler." I just wish to point out the insinuation. Now if they are free to obey, they naturally are free to reject. So where does he gel ith his" argument? Winnipeg, Dec. 14. 1938.

J. M. SIMPSON. Thinks "Canada First" A Selfish Policy To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir, In your Issue of Nov.

19th a letter appeared headed "Disillusioned by British Poliry," written over the pseudonvm "Canada First." The writer speaks of Prime Minister Chamberlain's betrayal of Austria and Czechoslovakia. It is he, though, who should be ashamed of himself for using such a term. He shows utter disregard as lo huw Canada has come into being as a nation under the flag and tradition of the mother country, whose solicitous protection has been her safeguard. I protest at his inference we are nearer to the people of the United States. There are many hundreds of thousands of Britishers in this Dominion who have helped to make Canada, with their money, customs and laws, together with the Canadians.
