    Burke and the Totalitarian System

    Abstract: The despondent generation which once accepted appeasement as a policy and Mr Neville Chamberlain as a statesman has undergone a salutary chastening. We find ourselves living in an age of great events, great actions, and even great speeches. It is as if the march of time had taken a turn backward to the age of Austerlitz and Trafalgar. We have seen a more diabolical Napoleon arise in Europe, and a more heroic Pitt in this country. We have seen guns frowning and blazing at each other across the Straits of Dover, and have heard rumours of flat-bottomed barges collected at Boulogne. We have even realized an earlier nightmare, which the age of Pitt would have thought fantastic: Some airy devil hovers in the sky, And pours down mischief.Though our Waterloo may still be far distant we have already witnessed the discomfiture of the airy devil in one of the decisive battles of the world; for there can be little doubt that the future historian will accord that dignity to the victory of the Royal Air Force in the autumn of 1940.

    “Our Poets”: A Sketch of Canadian Poetry in the Nineteenth Century
    University of Toronto Press Inc. (UTPress) ; 1942

    Abstract: Canadian poetry, in the most general terms, is the record of life in Canada as it takes on significance when all the resources of sensibility, intelligence and spirit are employed in experiencing it or in understanding it. Some of our poets have concentrated on what is individual and unique in Canadian life, and others upon what it has in common with life everywhere. The one group has attempted to describe and interpret whatever is essentially and distinctively Canadian and thus come to terms with what is only now ceasing to be a colonial environment. The other, from the very beginning, has made an heroic effort to transcend colonialism by entering into the universal, civilizing culture of ideas.

    Abstract: It is not always easy to appraise the influence of a man of science who has achieved eminence in his chosen field. To do so becomes an almost impossible task when the scientist lays science aside as his major interest and turns to the realm of psychic phenomena. Thereafter many scientists look upon him with a feeling of distrust, the average man is incredulous and makes disparaging comments, while people least qualified to judge of the value and significance of psychic research are loudest in their scorn and ridicule. A scientific reputation built up by long years of arduous labour and genuine achievement can suffer almost complete eclipse in this way. Only a relatively few sober scholars will not be misled: they will judge the scientific work at its true worth, undisturbed by the subsequent or overlapping activities of the same man in the psychic field. They will acknowledge his greatness even though they may have little or no sympathy with investigation into occult phenomena.

    The Values of Democracy
    University of Toronto Press Inc. (UTPress) ; 1940

    Abstract: We are ready to agree that freedom with all that it implies, is the primary and central value of democracy, and that all its other advantages depend upon the realization of the values of freedom in the political sphere. But when we stop to ask ourselves what is implied in political (and personal) freedom, the whole matter becomes much less clear and self-evident. Thus we are reminded of how easy it is, particularly when dealing with values, to be convinced and contented by abstract and negative conceptions. Freedom, it is asserted, or at once agreed, is the outstanding value realized by the democratic system, but in discussing what such freedom means, few have any notion which goes beyond an individual's right not to be interfered with in the expression of opinion by speech or published statement, in religious belief and worship, and in the choice of occupation and the pursuit of prosperity therein. Now such liberties are, of course, fundamental. But democracy, we must admit, does propose a considerable amount of co-operation among its members. And it is hard to see how the establishment of freedom in this negative sense would enlist men in co-operative effort or would foster the spirit of co-operation among them.

    Canada's American Problem

    Abstract: The past four months have seen the beginning of a new and vitally important stage in Canada's world relations. With the collapse of France, the balance of power shifted its centre of gravity; and as that centre moved toward the western hemisphere, the essential place of Canada in the international structure became subject to a scrutiny more intense than it has hitherto undergone. The result has been illuminating, not only for outsiders, but for Canadians themselves. And among the things we have been forced to recognize is the multiplicity of loyalties to which we are inescapably committed by our position and by our past.

    Music in Poetry

    Abstract: The epithet “musical” as applied to poetry has been the source of many crude misunderstandings; yet it deserves to be treated with respect, for it belongs to an equally distinguished art. There are two ways in which it can be properly used. It may describe poetry with accompanying music, or it may describe poetry which shows the direct or indirect influence of music, direct influence perhaps implying some techinical knowledge on the part of the poet. It is this second kind of musical poetry that is our subject.

    Abstract: Confronted with another world war in its most terrible phases, we must feel ourselves compelled at times to turn from the stark madness and the bloody agony of current events, and fix our attention on what may lie beyond this latest Armageddon. We know that our age has been profoundly affected by the nature and the consequences of the last war; and whether or not this second one was necessarily bred by the first, it seems indisputable that, even with the most desirable results through the triumph of the democracies, the effects will bring us face to face with conditions and problems—social, political, intellectual, and religious—that must be aggravated because we are still in arrears in dealing with those which emerged after 1914.

    Abstract: By the turn of the seventeenth century into the eighteenth, the primeval wilderness, many moccasins remote from the St Lawrence, had become the scene of man's latest challenge to the unknown. The uttermost stretches of sky, water, and tangled evergreen which, hitherto, had known of men only the stealthy gliding past of the red man in his bark canoe were to see the white skin of the coureur de bois and the black robe of the Jesuit missionary.

    Pan-Germanism Once More

    Abstract: The Second World War is already in its fifth month. There has never been a great European war in which the moral issue was clearer, more sharply defined. The regime in Germany has been guilty of acts of oppression, brutality, and intolerance without parallel since the Middle Ages. The Christian Church, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, has been openly assailed. Christianity itself has been attacked; the Bible denounced as Jewish; Wotan and the cult of the German blood substituted for Christian worship. Freedom of speech and of the press, freedom of investigation in the social sciences have been brought practically to an end. This new “culture” and “civilization” are now to be extended to Europe and then to the world at large. The attempt to conquer Europe has already made progress: Austria, the Sudeten, Bohemia and Moravia, half of Poland have been annexed to the Third Reich. To all of these the blessings of intolerance, of Fascism, and of the goose step are being transferred. The Second World War is being fought to bring this regime to an end and to restore in Europe the reign of peace, of law, of liberty, and of democracy. The moral aims of the war are crystal clear.
