Life, we hear, will be normal
again beginning today; the sun
will be restored to its accustomed
place of honour
as a natural in
fluence in the
conduct of dally
life. That is,
until it occurs
again to the
head of the
state to make
everybody from
the most emin
ent citizens to
the most simple
folk of the remotest village aware
of an imperious mind at the car
pitaL
The institution of daylight sav
ing time will always remain a
historic symbol in the minds of
the people. It will always stand
for the most historic effort we have
ever known, at national discipline
by a single ' stroke, at the irtspiro-
tlon of a single wiU.
While there may have been pro
tests against that stroke, the quiet
acceptance which for the most part
has met it throughout the country
for the period of its diotation
may show that we at last are
a united- people, capable of com
mon obedience to the mandate of
one determined mind.

Yesterday was supposed to be
the fall of Madrid. Today we Ima
gine the Moorish legions are on
a rampage of victory.
As Mr. F. Theo. Rogers Is in
Paris, he will no doubt find It a
trifle difficult to be an eyewitness
to the sweet and final descent of
peace on the long beleaguered ca
pital. It Is quite possible though
that he may rush there soon and
see the last obsequies performed
on the Loyalist Government and
get a fitting decoration from Gen
eral Franco In the bargain.
The appalling destruction
wrought on Madrid by bombing
planes must be laid at the feet
of the Loyalist Government. Mr.
Rogers will no doubt testify to that
fact. That thousands of women and
children were blown to bits inci
dental to the Investment of that
city must be attributed no leas to
the ferocity of the Loyalists who
were compelled te butcher their
very own In order to demoralize
the White meroenarles.
But all that is neither here nor
there. We are merely glad to hoar
that what was long an. aspiration
has finally become true by our own
process of self-hypnotism. Madrid
has fallen and now ouh is the task
of peace.
