The defeat endpd TORONTO PUCKMEN JOLT (Continued From Page One) more intense, reason and conscience have combined to make us both realize even more clearly the dark menace to things that are equally precious to your country and to mine, This common purpose has been sealed anew by the recent passage into law of the Lease-Lend act, he said. "It is difficult to exaggerate what this means. Lord Halifax pointed out that we are wont to say that we are fighting for freedom and for democracy for freedom as the quality of life that we desire; for democracy as the sjstem of government which is at once its best expression and the surest guarantee for its protection. As to what we mean w-hen we use these large words Halifax said I can only tell you what I mean, and what I know my fellow countrymen mean And I do not think you will take any different view. There seems to us to be certain principles that are essential to life as we wish to live it and see it lived, he added.

These principles are now in dire peril, and we believe therefore that we are truly fighting for our lives, since life to us is worthless if the principles on which it is built are to be destroyed. Now there is no inch of ground between those who accept and reject these principles, or assert or deny these rights, he said. The Nazi system is bondage, bodily and spiritual; political and economic According to the Nazi philosophy, the state both may and must claim the whole allegiance of mans body and soul. Truth, conscience, mercy, honor, justice, love: Where these clash with what is held to be the ever-riding interest of the state, they are regarded by Hitler as offences. Halifax declared that "this struggle is a mortal clash of two philosophies, and we only delude ourselves if we suppose that the civilization that we share with you can survive a Nazi victory.

That, then, is vchy we are at war to save our freedom and the worlds freedom from being murdered, as it has been murdered In Czechoslovakia, Poland. Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and France. Halifax declared that "when this great battle has been won, the nations which have preserved or regained their freedom will have a sovereign opportunity to show what freedom means, and what it can do for the welfare of mankind. It is not possible to draw detailed plans for the future structure of the community of nations, he said. These must naturally await discussion in free council by those concerned.

But we are already in a position to see the basis on which agreement must be founded. Nations like individuals can only exist in freedom and security if they are prepared to cooperate for mutual economic welfare, and, if need be, for mutual defense. In the economic sphere indeed, everything depends upon such cooperation. But no party to such an association as we picture will be ambitious to dominate its partners.

The predisposing cause of th posture cases which represent 15 per cent of all the cases, is believed to be malnutrition, Miss Schreiber said.

The rates were expected to result in lowered prices to consumers. Cladakis said that under the new prices, the federal government would save money on relief and penny-a-glass school milk programs, both in Class 1 but under which farmers receive 57 cents less a hundredweight than in regular consumer trade. Reductions totaling 45 cents per hundredweight the price paid to farmers of the New York milk shed are expected in the next two months. The Communists in Croatia, in the north of Yugoslavia, were being rapidly organized for purposes which were of course not disclosed but might be guessed at by the fact that pamphlets distributed on (he streets of Belgrade made a clear, if indirect appeal for Soviet aid.

Russia, they read, "definitely is against the Germans expansion in the Balkans. Was Moscow notified? they asked. This presumably was in reference tohe fact that the Russians only yesterday concluded an understanding with Turkey promising that the Turks need fear no second thrust by the Red Army should they find it necessary to resist any German attack. RESERVE RIGHT TO ATTACK The British, having lost a diplomatic battle which they never had much chance of winning, said simply that they would reserve the right to attack any German force appearing in Yugoslavia, and called the Vienna agreement the thin edge of German domination. It was confirmed that at least 150,000 British troops already were Greece.

German comment roundly described Yugoslavias submission as an answer to Churchill and Roosevelt; the tone of Axis comment in general was that the United States nad tried in vain to influence Yugoslavia in aid of Britain. Some Italian commentators went even further, saying that the Axis purpose was to deprive the British of any possible foothold for an invasion of Europe and the United States of any Continental coastal area on which to land troops. A neutral informant in Belgrade declared that Arthur Bliss Lane, the U. S. Minister to Yugoslavia, had repeatedly let that government know, before the surrender, that America would aid any nation which would defend itself.

Foreign sources in London estimated that the Nazis already had 800,000 fully equipped troops in the Balkans and 50,000 in Italy. There was speculation that if it actually existed this Italian contingent and Balkan rumors put it at nearer 240,000 was intended to w'arn the Fascists away from any notion that they might make a separate peace with Britain. GRAZIANA QUITS POST There was nothing official to in dicate that Italys position was as shaky as all that, but there w-as news that another Fascist general had lost his command. At his own request, Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, one of the first soldiers of Italy, quit his post as commander of Italys hapless North African troops and was succeeded by General Italo Gariboldi. He had seemed clearly on the outs with Mussolini since his extraordinary frank declaration of some weeks ago that his African operations had been hampered by lack of supplies from home, and the premiers diplomatically tart rejoinder in which the size and quality of forces sent there was dwelt upon and underlined.

The news of the marshals ouster coincided with British announcements that imperial forces pushing into Ethiopia from the already-conquered Italian Somaliland were nearing the walled city of Harar, which is only 25 miles from the strategic railroad running from Addis Ababa, the capital, to Jibuti.
