LITTLE LESSON IN ARITHMETIC FOR SIGNOR MUSSOLINI

MUSSOLINI'S DECLARATION that it is

a matter of indifference whether the Greek war takes one month or one year opens up en- tirely new prospects for a war of attrition against England, declared the Finnish news- paper "Arbetar Bladet” yesterday.

The paper says that if it is calculated that defeating Greece may take twelve months, how long is the war against England expected

It is against this background that the feverish Axis diplomacy must be viewed.

The Greek war "unfortunately did not turn out as expected," Greece resisted effectively and it is questionable whether Italy alone can effect a conquest.

The annual joint report of the four District Superintendents de- clared that "changing the name to taproom has not changed the evils of the saloon."

"The leaders of the liquor busi- ness have never kept their prom- ises and there is only one cure, to put them out of business," the re- nort continued. "The Methodist

Educational Programme

The Social Service Commission report characterised the liquor traffic, as an anti-social institu-. tion," and declared it was the duty of Methodists to labour by educa-. tional methods for such a voting majority as would demand, pro- hibition and make it effective.

The Social Service Commission also urged that the Methodist Church pay more attention to "the. great social issues," including mi- gratory farm labour problems, and opposed military training in high schools and colleges as "creating attitudes inimical to the ideas of world justice and world peace."

The Conference, after heated debate adopted a special commit-- tee report declaring that "in 1932 we were faced by the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in Ameri- ca. In 1940 we are faced witir the repeal of Christian civilisation clear around the world.

Pledge To Britons

"The people of the British Em- pire are bravely "sustaining the whole moral, spiritual and physi eat shock of this titanic struggle. We pledge to them our utmost support short of war in meeting this high and tragic responsibility. "Such a commitinent will make us objectionable to the forces now challenging Christian, civilisation. Consequently, we must have a de- fence programine which will make all tyrannies hesitate."MANSA The report urged flie abolition of war and a structure of inter- national law with courts to which International criminals can be brought, and with a police power sufficient to make its order effec-

tive...

"If we modern men fail in this responsibility we betray the ages," it added.
