"And NOW-

I'm strong and healthy again!”

i

"Some time ago I was always feeling tired. I grew very weak and got no pleasure out of life. Then a friend advised me to take Sanatogen and look at me now! I am fit and vigorous again and feel thoroughly happy.

That world-famous Medical Paper, "The Lancet,"

writes about the strengthening influence of Sanatogen: "There is abundant evidence of the value of Sanatogen

as a restorative and food, and more particularly in" cases of general debility."

When you do not feel so well, start taking Sanatogen. Every chemist sells it and Sanatogen will soon make you thoroughly strong and healthy again, full of youthful vitality.

EDWARD THOMPSON'S

THREE POINTS

THINGS TO FIGHT FOR

Oxford, August 3. There is not ilkely to be a more striking session than the crowded. one in which last night Mr. Ed- ward Thompson, the author, aşk- ed the members to consider the question for what things would they reluctantly and wretchedly as one undergoes an "operation"— fight. Nor are we likely to hear any more brilliantly phrased de- nunciation of the Government. Mr. Thompson spoke saine five or six thousand words, but his main points stand out clearly.

No one questioned, he said, the depth and mournful sincerity of the Prime Minister's love of peace, but after all Mr. Baldwin was the head of a Government which he was every day more convinced had thrown our safety away,

The school was somewhat taken by surprise by about half the speakers supporting pacifism. The chairman, Mr. Wilfrid Roberts, asked whether pacifism was the subject, ruled that speakers were en.ttled to say they would not Aght for anything. Among the non-pacifist speakers one criticized Mr. Thompson's pessimista and made a protesi which Mr. Thomp- son later endorsed against our taking the humillation of the col- lective security failure too exclu- sively to ourselves. Another de- clared that pacifists shared with Mr. Baldwin the blame for the present position. Mr. Wilfrid Paciflam had already increased Roberts still believed that if we our peril. People abroad thought were resolute there need be no that the Oxford resolution and war. Mr. Thompson said he had the hundred thousand signatures been warned that the subject the Dick Sheppard " pledge | might split the Liberal party meant that our young, men" really again. would not fight. Foreign nations not exaggerated British paclism. but the pledges had a significance, uș our own. Government was also uneasily aware, If WILK came popular anger against "conchies" would be greater than in 1917. Exxtreme pariasts had considered this as the early Christians con- sidered the consequences of the anger of Cæsar. but this thought of jury on one side and intran- sigence on the other did not make us happier.

ABYSSINIA

Mt: Thompson saw in the rap- penings in Abyssinia a warning that there would be little mercy for an unresisting people and he stressed Sir Archibald - Sinclair's point that there could be no ap pealing over a dictator's head or, GS Mr. Thompson preferred it, "under his feet." World opinion could not help. In deciding what were the things for which be would night Liberal opinión might be decisive. Two chances of col- lective security had been thrown away by the mishandling of the Japanese and Italian aggression. He feared another war might be necessary before another chance could come.

The things for which he thought he would fight were three:

1. Our pledged word; though we did not now believe in Ger- many's sole gulit for the last war. he did not see that in 1914 we could have done other than we did.

2. The defenceless peoples of our Empire, for, with all the faults of Britain, we did give free- dom ometal recognition and there was always a chance that a doc- trine officially accepted would one day be put into practice.

The Government had falled merely because C was Conservative. A. Govern- ment led by Mr. Churchili would be a bad Government. but what it said it would do. The chairman, in opening, quoted Mr. Baldwin's statement the other day that if war came again we de- served to perish. Personally he thought that was too sweeping. (Laughter.)

AIR MENACE

Captain Philip 8. Mumford, speaking on the air menace, said he could not share some people's optimistic scepticism about the probability of the often-predicted devastating attacks from the air on the civil population. Foch had been quoted as having said that such attacks would be prevented by fear of retaliation. "Fear of reprisals," said Captain Mumford, "had never prevented war being fought with the deepest intensity, I believe there is, empagh in it.to makelt possible to falsify the sug- gestion that the capitais of belligerent countries Wil lle in smoking ruins within a few hours of the declaration of war or even before It. But it does not make much difference. In due course these capitals will be attacked. When a country begins to feel its national existence is at stake it w not retrain from using any weapon avaliable" And Captain Mumiord recognised that there was something in the argument that if war must be fought the most humane thing was to fight it with such vigour as to end it as soon as possible.

The tendency to discount the Importance of the air arm was increased by inter-service Jealousy. It had been said that in another war hostile aeroplanes would orily meet each other by accident Or mutual agreement. Their busi- ness would be with the дов
