STAR OP DESTNY The tragedy that depresses every one of u» i« th» »ttasek'ss destruction of human Hves and the famine that threatens a large part of the Old World â€" ail th« reault of the econom- ical blood luat of one individual. Hit- ler,, and th« traitorous self-interest of the fawing eamp-foUower, Mus- solini. Thus* wholesale assassins are the Black Hague of modern times. The Black Placua kept the population down and on* can not help wondering whether thesa two master mui-derers have not tha same thought in mind. To them, human lives, whether those of their own people of those of other nations, mean less than nothing. They starve human beings by the milHong and then they preen themselves and boast. What a dark world they would have to face! So it ia to the Brtiish Com- monwealth wt Nations that the down- troiiden oouHtriaa rmaM lo«k for res- cue from dagradftlion aa4 dwath and for the rijh*ing of the world's wrongs. Here th» star of destiny will rise for the British Commonwealth of Na- tions and for tha ulher English- speaking peoples and from tha ashes and the anguish will come a n«w world that will not know Hitler and that will be dedicated to the. highest ideals of civilization and of Christ- ianity.
