All subscriptions will be gratefully received. 1943 MONTREAL, CANADA No. 29 EDITORIAL Lieut.-Col. Thomas Guerin Lieut.-Col. Thomas Guerin has been appointed Commanding Officer of the Loyola College Con- tingent C.O.T.C. We congratulate him, and assure him that he has our most heart- felt welcome. Our new O.C. comes to us with exceptionally fine qualiiications. In addition to his military experience he has an enviable record in other iields of activity, and holds the responsible oiflice of representative at Quebec for St. Annis Division. We have an added reason for pride, basking as it were, in the light of a second honor he reflects upon us, for in Lieutenant-Colonel Cuerinas appointment Loyola has seen one of her fondest ambitions realized. We now have as Commanding Oilicer an old Loyola boy-a graduate of the class of ,07. We have a man who knows Loyola, who understands Loyola, above all, who loves Loyola. VVe may feel sure that our O.C. is interested in each one of us personally, and it is consoling to think that we have a Commanding Oiiicer whose sole concern is our welfare. In these troubled days it is a blessing for us to have been sent a man of such mature and reliable judgment. 1 1 f What Are We Fighting For? In this, the fourth year of war, when the Axis tide has begun at last to ebb, we of the United Nations find ourselves still without definite, clearly stated aims in this bloody struggle. Parlor patriots will immediately rise to the defence of our political leaders, flourishing the Atlantic Charter. But the Atlantic Charter is a list of generalities. con- taining in vague language the post-war wishes of what has come to be known as the Anglo-Saxon world. It ignores many phases of the post-war problem, such as the status of China and India in theinew world arrangement. It has not been completely or unconditionally ratified by all the United Nations. Indeed, the stated aims of some of our United Nations directly contradict the Articles of the Atlantic Charter, especially the openly declared territorial designs of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

1- r -1 v Hrs., .,... l X, W LOYO L A COLLEGE Page 2 REVIEW Recent surveys in the United States, the results of which may be taken as a fair indication of public reaction in the Whole English-speaking World, showed that a miserably small percentage of the populace were conversant with the Articles of the Atlantic Charter. American soldiers questioned in North Africa were found to be giving little thought to the building of a new World after the War. We cannot but lament this state of affairs, for We must avoid at all costs a recur- rence of the confusion which followed 1918, and which proved a fertile field for the seeds of the present World conflict. Our leaders must have the courage to state plainly, clearly, and in concrete terms what kind of international World order we in- tend to establish after our victory. Failure to do so is a confession of inadequacy in the righteousness of our cause. 1 1 Y Spring-1943 Now generals talk of campaigns lost and won, Of battles to be fought. They speak of men As if of flies. Two million here , and then Perehance they'll die in webs weaoed by the Hun. And all the while the happy, smiling sun Makes soldiers dream of home, and when As youths on golden days they ran o'er fen. But now they march until the job is done. Montgomery sweeps the western desert clean Of German tanks and men. In Russia stench And mud, like parting hands, stay armies' might, And Europe starving waits, restless and keen. Rest still, my soul, no longer tug and wrenchg Soon I will heed thy call to the great fight. PATRICK DEVAUX, '45. 1 1 1 Spring Uprising Do you hear the call of Spring? F locks of birds upon the wing? Flowers pushing from the ground In triumph and in glory hound? Snow that melts on mountains high, Bent to quench the streams so dry? Who is willing to help out Natures swelling, gaudy rout?
