But it still poor Clausewitz to loose against the enemy any acton ‘which will rebound upon your own forces or population. ‘lf the explosion of H-bombs adds dangerous particles sto the i ur i then it is dif- ficult to see under what principile of common sense those bombs can be exploded even to defeat an en- emy. Conducting warfare by such means would be like carrying out a murder and suicide pact. Then, if the use of those weapons is, in the name of common sense, unthinkable in any future war, what are we testing them for? It may well be that the mil- itary mind is so enamoured of its stupenduous new weaponary that it stubbornly turns a deaf ear to the voices of those whose arguments, if accepted, would require the abondonment of the exciting new Pp denlorabl, be taught Canadian ways, here Second nature.

There are many stich things which we can enjoy, and which are fine and good in their time and place. There are certain other things too, however, of which some people say “This is the life”, which may NOT be so good in the long run, and even the good things of life may be misused. Perhaps the reason that they are so often misused’ is that they do not satisfy a person completely, That is, we can say, “This is the life," for a short time, but that particular thing cannot satisfy all our needs nor our deepest longings. | There is “a life’, however, that can, The Scriptures say: “He who-has the Son has life; he who has not the Son has not life, 1 John 5:12.
