MIRROR OF WORLD OPINION
ON SUPPRESSING OPINION
If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silen- cing that one person; than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind, Were an opinion a personal possession of no value ex-' cept to the owner; if to be obstructed in the enjoyment of it were simply a private injury, it would make some difference whether the injury was in- flicted only on a few persons or on many. But the peculiar evil of silen-' cing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing gen- eration; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold It. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of ex changing error for truth; if wrong, they lose what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error." Stuart Mill.

The Germany that we are. fighting has indeed now to be treated as a united enemy and as-such to be defeated.

MR. HULL "AGREES”
When Mr. Hull describes the Netherlands Indies as of interest to many countries and as an important factor in the commerce of the whole world, he states the broad basis of those islands' security. So important are they to United States commerce, for example, that their owners, the Dutch, have always banked on the probability of the United States Navy's taking at least an indirect part in their defence.
As war goes on passions increase and desires for vengeance grow. There was a sign of it in Mr, Duff Cooper's speech recently. Most of it was well said, and with his hope that "never again shall one nation "be allowed to plunge the whole world into war" Mr. Hull's statement was in reply everyone will agree. No man moved to one by Japan's Foreign Minister, by humanity, pity, and the love of Hachiro Arita. It was a most necessary civilised living will part company for reply, although Mr. Arita had said a moment with Mr. Duff Cooper when something which sounded very similar. he denounces the Nazi leaders, who Mr. Hull added, in effect, that he ex- have degraded a nation, persecuted pects Japanese actions to prove that the best parts of it, and invaded Mr. Arita means the same thing that weaker neighbours with greater bruta- the United States means when these lity than the world has seen. But he went farther and said what he should

The series of crimes which have made a horror of Europe are not the crimes of one man nor the crimes of a small band of criminals. These are the crimes of a whole people.
Such statements are inaccurate, un- wise, and danger- ous. They lend strength to Dr. Goebbels when he tells the German people that our one aim is to destroy them and that they must fight to the very end for they can expect по mercy from us: To deprive the German people of hope is to prolong the war needlessly.

HITLER'S PRESSURE ON IL DUCE
Washington, To-day.
The White House remains sternly silent in regard to the continuous flow of telegrams passing between Washington and European capitals, especially Rome, but it is obvious President Roosevelt is trying every expedient to keep the conflict from spreading.
Consensus of opinion, however, is that the President's hopes of success must be waning.
The belief is growing here that Hitler is putting severe pressure on Mus- solini to enter the war now, in order to widen the area of conflict.-Reuter.
