was the norm.

Dismissing the romantic myth

ofcamaraderie and adventure that

surrounded the memory of the

First World War, the editorial

instead invoked the image of

industrialized slaughter and

warned that those who prepared

to do battle would become "bewil-

dered apprentices to the art of

human butchery." Invoking the

cases of Ethiopia, Spain, China

and Czecho-Slovakia, The Cord

stated that, "all this has not, how-

ever, come about by accident...

We are learning, today, that a mere

cessation of hostilities... does not

represent an honest effort to ban-

ish war from this earth."

Despite its heavy criticisms of

the coming war, the atmosphere

of Canadian society in this period was powerful enough to lure the

author of the editorial, Editor-in-

Chief Jack Blinkhorn, into joining the Royal Canadian Air Force

(RCAF).
