Page 14 —- April 14, 1945 Foibles, Facts and Fancies Sour Grapes of Wrath The Toronto Tory papers, Globe and Mail and Telegram, are incensed at the “Liberal-Socialist - Communist” opposi- tion which prevented Drew from carrying on the work of orderly government, such as torpedoing family allowances, under- mining the morale of the armed forces, de- claring war on Prench-Canada and the like. (From “Footprints and Fingerprints” by Ed in The Ganadian Tribune.) Need for “Victory in the Peace” If another world war breaks out in 20 ~- or 30 years it will be more horrible than +his war, which has been more horrible than the last. The barbarisms of the enemy now ex- ceed those of our enemies a generation ago. In another war the last restraints would go and unrestrained savagery, equipped with new and frightful weapons, would spread: over the world. All should hope, I think; that the San Francisco Conference will result in an ef- fective agreement. If it is a failure, God alone knows what will happen to the future of the world — (Prime Minister W. IL. Mackenzie King.) Enough Britain is still in the front line.
