WORLD'S WEEK}

By HAROLD L. WEIR Assoc, Editor, The Edmonton Bulletin

As the Nazis move slowly and with many reverses towards the Caucasus, it looks more and more as if the sheer pressure of events will strain Turkeys Policy of neutrality to the breaking point, -

Turkey’s strategic location in the steadily expanding war picture is such that Great Britain and Russia and the Axis find bbe in their focus whenever they consider the shape of. things to come in the middle east.

Neutral Turkey at present is a con- venient barrier between the Germans and the British, From a German view- point it covers the Germans from Anglo-Russian communications thru’ Iraq and Iran and is a thick padding between the Germans and Syria,

The Turks themselves want to stay out of the war to the last possible moment, They have no sentimental at- tachments either for Britain or the Axis, They take ‘a cold, dispassionate view of the war and don’t want to back the wrong horse, if they have to back any horse at all, They just want to stay right on the fence at least until they think they know who is go- ing to win the war,

Meantime, they are expertly with- standing outside pressure of all sorts, maintaining such impartial neutrality that none of the belligerents can com- plain,

* *” *

If the Germans get to the Caucasus, however, all of this may change, The Germans may feel that a neutral Tur- key is too much in the way for a Ger- man push to Iran and taking up too much room in the path of a potential German push toward the Persian Gulf and Suez by way of Iran, Iraq, Syria and the Dodecanese,

They may transfer the bulk of their air force from other fronts to the num- erous airdromes near the Turkish bor- ders to try to browbeat the Turks into siding with them or at least permitting

German troops to pass through Turkey |

—which would be the end of Turkey’s neutrality,

Failing persuasion by a show of force, the Germans might invade Tur- key, in which case Turkey would resist —as it would resist any Russian-Bri- tish invasion.

There is always the possibility that the Dardanelles may be Turkish neu- trality’s stumbling block,

The Axis has tried hard to persuade the Turks to allow some of their war- ships to pass through the straits of the Black Sea where they could make invasion by sea from various parts of the Russian’s Black Sea coast likelier to succeed.

If the Germans are slowed down, Seaborne action against the Caucasus may become imperative, in which case free passage for Axis ships throughout the straits might be considered so vi- tal for the Axis that it would try to seize the straits from the hinterland on the Asiatic side, In this case, Tur- key would be at war with Germany and a full- fledged ally of Britain.

The American people appear to be under no illusions as to the gravity of the measures recently adopted by their government to further curb the Nazis, Various organizations and prominent individuals formally endorsed the measures already taken and urged even bolder steps,

The influential American Legion has urged repeal of the Neutrality Act and removal from the Selective Ser-

MANY HUNTERS OUT ON FIRST DAY OF PHEASANT SEASON

C. H, Nash and W. A.

Pheasant season opened south of the | Rosebud Creek on Monday, October 18, and hundreds of hunters were out to bag this fine game bird. While no reports of bag limits are available in the majority of cases, hunters report the pheasants plentiful in some parts of the district. Only cock birds can be shot and the bag limit is three a day and ten for the season, which closes on Saturday, October 18,

of drafted troops to the territory of the United States and its possessions.

It is discovered now that the Neu- trality Act permits American manned American merchant vessels to carry American munitions to such vital cen- tres of British defense as Hong Kong, Burma and Suez,

The President has already revealed the uses to which lease-lend funds already have been put and asked for additional appropriations of $5,985,- 000,000 to aid the countries which are collaborating in the war against the Axis,

No light was thrown this week on’ the attempts to imprive relations be- tween the United Sates and Japan. The Japanese are steadily entrenching themselves in the rich and strategic indo-China but there are no signs of an immediate attack upon Thai.

Tension appears to be growing be- tween Japan and Russia but there is no sign of change in the fundamentally divergent views of the United States and Japan on problems of the Pacific area,

THE WORLD OF WHEAT REVIEWED WEEKLY BY | MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE

During the summer of 1940 the “Crop Testing Plan” analysed just over 13,000 growing samples of wheat and each sample represented a field

of wheat. Approximately 5,000 of these samples were found to classify as C’s or Mixtures, which meant that the farmers growing these fields of Mixtures or of undesirable varieties wére losing money because of low yield and poor grade,

The Elevator Agents then enueav- ored to persuade these farmers to change their seed, and so to stop los- | ing money, | From reports of the distribution of

it is found that

seed actually made, ; f the Elevator Agents succeeded in per- suading just over 41 percent of those

farmers who had C’s and Mixtures to purchase some Registered or Certified seed; those farmers, therefore, who purchased better seed have improved their crops, and so will make more money from their efforts, In addition they have helped to improve the gen- eral quality of Canadian wheat offered on world markets,

This work has now been going on for 10 years, and each year has shown about the same percentage of improve- ment, It has been interesting to note that very few of the farmers who were growing poor quality crops were aware of it until the Cerealists or Plant Breeders pointed out the Mix- tures and undesirable varieties which their crops contained,

nt HUNTERS SPEND BIG SUMS IN ALBERTA |

If they are given the opportunity, tourists will spend more money in Al- berta and visit here in still greater numbers,

Recently there were reports of big game hunters arriving in Alberta by aeroplane from the United States, then leaving for the hunting areas by motor car, pack train and other modes of conveyance along the way,

These hunters spent thousands of dollars in Alberta each season, Some time ago a large party estimated that its outlay would average $50 a day for the expedition,

With Alberta roads in better condi- tion and hard surfaced, so that hunters would be enabled to penetrate to vari- ous hunting regions to a greater de- gree, doubtless a still larger number of nimrods would be attracted to Al- berta,

Officials of the Canadian Travel Bur- eau have emphasized the importance of stressing the game attractions of the Canadian west, particularly hunt- ing and fishing, which are permanent lures for tourists,

come to Alberta, which is known to have some of the country, every effort should be made to facilitate their entry by motor car or other means, Their expenditures mean a big item each season to busi- ness in the provinces of Canada.

The PERFECT ¢

Another Enemy

With King Winter on the threshold and the season of greatest fire hazards approaching now is the time to give serious thought to the evil con- Sequences of carelessness in the handling of one of the most beneficial and at the same time one of the most dangerous of the elements essential to civilized life.

It requires very little reflection to appreciate the beneficence which fire has bestowed upon mankind and there is no necessity here to enumer- ate its advantages or to speculate upon what civilization would be without it. But there is good cause to reflect upon the evils which it can, and un- fortunately, too often does, bring in its train due to human frailty in the form of ignorance or negligence.

Every year millions of dollars go up in smoke to the great godfire, on this continent. Last year, property having an estimated value of $300,000,- 000 was destroyed by uncontrolled fire in the United States. Proportionately | the property loss in Canada from the same cause was comparable and Western Canada contributed her share to this unnecessary sacrifice.

It would be bad enough if only property were immolated on this sacri- ficial altar, but it does not end here. Valuable lives are being lost every year as carelessness with fire takes toll of human as well as material re- sources.

The term losses.

“unnecessary sacrifice’ has been used in reviewing these That the phrase is justifiable is readily demonstrated when one analyses the figures released by government agencies and takes note of the causes responsible for this terrible waste. . ~ . o The Big Five Public enemy No. handling smoking materials

One has only to scan the list of the big five to discern that there is amply warranty for declaring that carelessness and ignorance are the root cause of this needless waste and sacrifice and to state unhesitatingly that practically all of it could have been avoided with the exercise of a little commonsense, care and forethought.

While the careless smoker is a menace the year round, and possibly this is the reason that he heads the list, some of the other hazards listed as

and especially is this true of defective stoves and and overheated chimneys and pipes. Possibly the careless handling of petroleum products may be listed as an acute winter hazard when one remembers how often, far too often, is prodded into action by a dash of coal oil and even the still more dangerous gasoline.

Because of these increased dangers during the winter months now is the time*for the occupant of every farm and every home in hamlet, village and town to check over furnaces, stoves and pipes, repair all defects and

to make a solemn resolution to eschew the use of coal oil or gasoline to}

More Important In War bad

These are important precautions to take not only in winter but through- out the year. They are important measures in peace time, but in war time their importance is multiplied many times over. At a time when the na- tion is conserving, and must conserve, all its assets in manpower and ma- terials to wage a desperate war against the forces of evil, every life lost by fire, every dollar that goes up in smoke is an aid to the brutal Hitler and his Nazi hordes, Let it not be forgotten that loss of life and property are of tangible assistance to the enemy.

For this reason, if for no other, efforts to prevent loss by fire should be redoubled and no stone should be left unturned to make loss from this cause impossible. As already indicated, the risk is much greater during the next few months than in the summer and is greater while we are at war than in times of peace, even after discounting sabotage possibilities.

In the small towns and villages, much of the fire fighting equipment is manned by voluntary Enlistments in the army, the navy and the air force have necessarily impaired the experienced personnel available to quench a conflagration, Hence, because of the war, danger from fire has been increased and it behooves thos who have not fared forth in uniform to take every precaution to prevent a fire breaking out and to be prepared to adequately cope with fire if someone is careless enough to let it break out

| Plans For Post-War Emigration

| Very Heavy Influx From Britain To Canada Is Foreseen

Officials of the British Dominions Emigration Society announce that they are already laying plans for a | mass wave of emigration from Bri- tain to Canada immediately after the war.

Founded some 60 years ago as a philanthropic organization, the first purpose of the British Dominions Emigration Society was to assist set- tlers in Canada to reunion with their families. Though its activities have) necessarily had to be suspended since | the outbreak of war, it is fully ex-| pected that larger numbers than ever | before will apply for passage assist-| ance immediately after the cessation of hostilities.

It is realized that one of Canada’s immediate needs after the war will be immigration from the British Isles.

New Radio Device

Test Machine For Detecting And Intercepting Enemy Aircraft

Guarded as a military secret, the United States army's new radio de- vice for determining and intercept- ing enemy aircraft is completing its first comprehensive test.

Brig.-Gen, C. H. Wash, commander of the 2nd Interceptor Command of Seattle, explained its general method of operation.

“Instrument devices, operating without human attention, automatic- ally feed to the stations behind the lines information on movement of aircraft which enables skilled oper- ators on filter boards to plot their courses,” he said.

“Automatic devices do not dis- criminate between friendly and hos- | tile aircraft; filter board operators must do this in a few seconds from their knowledge of the position and movements of friendly airplanes.

Clearly Shows We Have

Essentials For

Winning War

(The Financial Post)

We can win this war because we've got what it takes to win—man power, strategic materials and ma- chinery to convert them.

Germany and her aides had a tre- mendous start in men, equipment and in the conversion of their economies to a war basis. But we are gaining at an ever accelerating rate.

This is the inescapable conclusion from an exhaustive ,study made by The Financial Post of available data on both material resources and their utilization,

Here are some facts:

1. $32 billions of war equipment is to come from the British Empire and the United States this year. Next year’s figure will tower high above that. Germany's own total war expenditure was $23 billions. No one knows what she can get out of “oc- cupied” Europe and Italy.

2. Germany operates in an ‘‘econ- omy of scarcity,” being short of such essentials as gasoline, lubricants, many metals, textiles, fats, but she is apparently not yet in an “economy of starvation.”

3. Germany haseworked wonders with her policy of substitution and use of synthetic products. But it is a costly, wasteful method. Synthetic gasoline costs three times as much as the natural product. Aluminum, where substituted for copper, needs twice as much electric power to make. ‘Buna,’ Germany's rubber substitute, needs 30,000 kw.m. per ton to make; natural rubber none.

The Democracies are making enormous speed in turning their aluminum, copper, nickel, steel into ships, tanks and airplanes.

Here are some further facts:

1. The British nation and the United States are now approaching the combined airplane output of Ger- many, Italy and Europe. A year from now the U.S. schedule alone calls for 4,000 planes a month, approximately equal to the largest estimates of Axis present output.

2. Empire and the U.S. for current year

will turn out at least four times as)

many trained pilots, navigators, gun- ners, etc., as Germany can expect.”

3. U.S. ship deliveries are just getting under way. In 1942 project- ed deliveries will be about six million deadweight tons. At least two mil- lion tons—-probably much more—will

be added to this from Empire sources. |

4. Germany and Italy still lead in

in commission.

Air crew training plans of the)

5. In all other naval vessels the Democracies lead, Britain alone had 100 more fighting ships commissioned at January 1 thie year, excluding submarines, than Germany and Italy combined. And the Empire and the U.S.A. are building new navies at a prodigious rate.

The Democracies control the major materials of war. Dr. Goebbels, chief Nazi propagandist, speaks of six vital

raw materials—coal, iron, cotton, copper, oil and rubber. The British Empire, the United

States and Russia are dominant in all of them in the ratio of eight to one. More than this, Britain and her allies have access to additional sup- plies from unoccupied countries.

Germany is short of four of the items. She has nearly adequate sup- plies only of coal and iron, thanks to her conquests.

The survey by The Financial Post reveals that the British Empire alone has an industrial capacity greater than that of Germany and all occu- pied Europe. The combined industrial capacity of the Commonwealth, United States and Russia is three and a half times as great as that of Hit- ler’s Europe.

Germany faces a 15 million barrel shortage of oil this year.

She has iron and steel but lacks

the metals required to turn them in- to vital war alloys. ’ Germany is virually without access to supplies of nickel, tin and crude rubber. Her own scientists bemoan the disadvantage of the high cost of producing synthetic rubber.

Germany has coal but much of it is of poor fuel value. Having no cot- ton and little wool she uses staple fibres made of wood.

Thus we have the materials, the factory capacity, the men and the skill in abundance.

But to win we must use them, quickly and efficiently.

Possession of unlimited stores of raw materials from which raw ma- terials might be made does not turn these materials into airplanes, tanks, trucks, guns or explosives.

Having millions of able-bodied men of military age among the popula- ae does not mean a trained army, air force or navy. * It is ability and speed in turning |these raw materials, these able- | bodied men, into tanks, ships, guns, ‘airplanes, trained soldiers, pilots and seamen, that win wars. | The Post survey shows that.we are

Have No Illusions

People Of Norway Know Who Is Which Makes It Simpler To Send)

Their Worst Enemy

This is the text of an appeal be ing circulated underground by Nor- wegian patriots. It answers in the following terms both the Quisling and Nazi attempts to line up Nor- way as an ally of Germany against Russia.

“Terboven has declared that there is a widespread desire among us Norwegians to fight the Russians side by side with the Germans.

“We Norwegians have nothing to do with Russia. It is the Germans— not the Russians—who have stolen our country from us. We have there- fore not the slightest sympathy for Hitler and his German executioners.

“Terboven's cheerful assumption ig thus nothing else than a pretext to help Germany mobilize able- bodied Norwegians for the fight which has already cost many Ger- man lives, and which has become such a gruesome mass-Slaughter that the Germans are not able to bear it alone.

“But not a single one of us will fall for this pretext. We shall all refuse—-for our own sakes and for Norway's sake. We shall not offer our blood in order that a tyrant re- main in power,

“God save our King and our na- tive land.”

Must Surrender Blankets

Norwegian citizens and stores must |

surrender their wool blankets for use by the German army in accordance with a decree which ordered every- one possessing blankets to deliver them immediately. Failure to do so would be punishable by a prison sentence up to three years or by a heavy fine.

Canada’s national parks have nearly 700 miles of motor highways and 3,000 miles of trails.

The United States has about 20,- 000 moving picture theatres.

Method Has Been Improved

Pictures By Wire

| A new and improved portable | transmitter for sending photographs | by wire has been announced by the Associated Press.

Only about half as large and heavy as the previous wirephoto portable, the new machine sends a picture nine by seven inches, instead of four by five, the old dimensions. The added size and detail mean that the pictures needed less retouching.

When a photograph is to be sent, the suitcase in which the transmit- ter is housed, is attached by a coil to any available telephone box. Then it is plugged in, like a radio, to a convenient electric light outlet. This latter connection operaes tubes and electrical equipment.

After the tubes are warmed up, the photo to be sent, automatically wrap- ped upon a revolving cylinder in the suitcase, is ready. A phone call is put through to the person or office wanting the picture. Over thig call the picture travels, in electrical im- |pulses, to the receiving number, where a similar apparatus puts it back on photographic film,

They seem to know exactly at what time to see them set out and when they may be expected to re- turn, though on the outward journey they sometimes fly at such a great height that it is difficult to pick them up with the naked eye. The main con- kcentration on their homeward jour- ney is to count their number.

There is always great elation when they come back in perfect formation, and corresponding depression when there are gaps in the ranks. Some- times depression turns into joy and relief when two or three laggards are seen bringing up the rear. One of the prettiest sights is to see one of our reconnaissance ‘planes turn aside to | greet the bombers.

The People of Britain Have Found A New Dignity And

Power Passing To Generals

Hitler Still In Charge But Beginning | To Suffer Eclipse

John Gordon in day Express says:

the London Sun-

Have you noticed a curious de- | velopment in Germany recently?) Apart from Hitler and Ribbentrop,

you never see a Nazi leader in the) picture nowadays. Only the gencrals, Hitler, and his Foreign Office thug What happening? Yt make a! guess. Hitler is beginning to suffer the eclipse that comes to all dic- tators in war. As soon as the armies

begin to move, power passes from the dictator to the generals

Hitler is still powerful very powerful, but his power is passing to his generals. And if his armies meet with serious reverses in Rus- sia, it will pass completely to the generals.

He may still swop a general now and again, but when things go wrong he will be left to hold the baby. And that moment may be imminent.

We need to watch for it, to beware! of it. For generals of all nations ours included—are like Freemasons. They tend to hang together. Their minds move in the same track. They speak the same language, and they! }can usually comfortably make a deal with each other. |

The German generals may not all) be Nazis, but in this war their hands | are just as bloodstained as Hitler's. | The Fuehrer gave them the oppor- tunity to make what they so nicely | named a total war. They took full advantage of it.

And when the time comes to pay, the price, we must see that they pay lit as well as Hitler's gang. Let's have no more of this honorable sol- dier nonsense.

Both Hitler and his generals are fighting for their lives. They know it, and very soon all deluded Ger- many will know it. But trapped | beasts often take a lot of killing, | and this crew will be as tough as) most.

We seem to be on the eve of new) diversions.

Japan, the Hun nation of the Far| East, is being pushed in to cause a| rampus. Spain is being agitated in-| to action. The thumbscrews are be- ing put on Turkey.

All these subsidiary volcanoes are being forced into eruption for one purpose, and one purpose only

-to divert our strength from Europe to the faraway places, to ease the | pressure on Germany and to prevent | us landing the vital blow.

In the last war it drove back the Germans from the Marne and held them at Verdun. That spirit is not dead. It is only benumbed by great misfor- tune and held captive by the might of foreign arms and the treachery of self-seeking politicians.

International Service Still Function- ing During The War

Aloof from war is an international service — time signals — affecting very home and office and equally important to learned scientist and untutored laborer.

Dominion observatory officials said daily international wireless time sig- nals—one of them from Germany— are still being picked from the air to provide a scientific chek on the clocks of Canada.

The signals are in conformity with international agreement and reports on their use are made to co-operat- ing observatories, Ottawa receives daily time signals from Arlington, N.Y.; Bordeaux, France; Mone Grade, Chile; Nauen, Germany; Rio de Jan- eiro, Brazil, and Rugby, England.

|Canadian Medical Association Jour- jnal. It is also Suggested that lack

of this member of the vitamin B ,complex indicates a corresponding | deficiency of all the other seven ‘members of the group.

This lack was made evident by dietary surveys carried out in Hali- fax, Quebec, Toronto and Edmon- ;ton, says the article quoted, and its authors comment: “. . . @ large pro- |portion of our population are con- suming diets which are inadequate for optimum vigour, efficiency and resistance against disease... The importance of this situation from the national standpoint and the need to rectify it is obvious, particularly |during the present crisis when the | highest degree of efficiency of all |Canadian people is absolutely nec- | essary.”

Whole wheat, the article points | out, is one of our richest food sources of vitamin B 1, and also a good source for most of the members of the B | complex; but in milling for white | flour it retains only a quarter to a | sixth of the original B1 content and loses all but a small percentage of the other B complex members. The remedy, the authors point out, lies in improving the B1 content of flour ‘used in making Canadian bread,

Since Canadians as a whole refuse to accept whole wheat bread, they assert, the problem resolves itself into either retaining the B vitamins in white flour, or giving it _ those vitamins in one of two ways: the use j of a special high potency yeast, or | the addition of various B vitamins in | synthetic form. Since both these methods increase the cost of bread production, and since the latter is not entirely satisfactory, they sug- gest that the retention in white flour of the vitamins present in the wheat {berry is the obvious procedure to be | adopted.

For Prisoners Of War

Canadian Red Cross Sends 15,000 Parcels Weekly To Europe

Dr. F. W. Routley, national com- missioner of the Canadian Red Cross, Toronto, said his organization is sending 15,000 parcels a week to continental Europe for prisoners in enemy occupied territory. The par- cels, he said, cost $1.90 apiece to put up and transportation expenses are $2.50 each. They contain a week's supply of food, giving 2,300 calories a day.

THE CHRONICLE. CARBON. ALTA.

QUESTION OF A BRITISH OFFENSIVE IS DEBATABLE

will debate—probably in secret— whether Britain can continue to con- script her own manpower for an eventual continental offensive and still turn out the armaments which both she and her allies need, Prime Minister Churchill disclosed.

There are unconfirmed reports that the government will form no more all-British divisions on home soil. Some persons who are well- informed contend the limit already has been reached in pulling men from the vital fields of war industry, min- ing and agriculture to serve in the armed forces.

Mr. Churchill told the house the)

problem of distribution of manpower fs a “direct and central part of the war effort’ and that the debate, therefore, probably would not be public lest the information developed aid the Germans.

Among the political developments was a meeting of the Conservative party which approved unanimously a vote of confidence in the Churchill government based on the prime min- ister’s decision ‘to welcome the Rus- sian nation as an ally in the strug- gle against aggressive barbarism, and to fortify their resistance by every possible means.”

Sir Cuthbert Headlam, Conserva-|

tive, in making the motion, said: “We should be very foolish if we did not realize that at present our in- terests and those of Russia are identical.”

In connection with the manpower |

problem, Mr. Church has disclosed that the question of invading the continent has been weighed seriously by the government.

Actually, a growing feeling that Britain is near the limit of her man- power resources, except that which

gomes from the Empire, has been)

responsible for a measurable dwindl- ing of the public clamor for an im- mediate invasion of the continent in order to ease German pressure on Russia.

There appears to be growing ac- ceptance of the idea such a land offensive must be deferred one year, possibly two. Thus, vasion talk, there is growing em- phasis on the devotion of all efforts

to providing arms and munitions for

Russia’s millions of men.

Must Join Forces

Unitea States-Britigh Union To En- sure Peace Urged By Knox

Indianapolis.—-U.S. secretary of the navy, Frank Knox, proposed that the United States and Britain join forces “for 100 years at least,” to produce “by force if need be” an effective system of international law.

He told the convention of the Am erican Bar Association that to pwre- vent another world war the seven seas must be controlled for many years to come by the great “peace minded, justice-loving’’ powers—Bri- tain and the United States—which are “lacking in any desire for selfish aggrandizement.”

“To put it bluntly,”’ he said, “we must join our force, our power, to that of Great Britain, another great peaceloving nation, to stop new ag- gression, which might lead to a world disturbance, at its beginning.

The United States must give up the “fatuous folly” that it will not fight unless invaded.

There will not be for many years a time when we may not have to fight—“let us determine that we will fight elsewhere than on our own soil; far better a distant war than one at home.”

Royal Air Rate

Has Destroyed 658 German Fighter Planes Since February Middlesbrough, Eng.—-Air Minister Sir Archibald Sinclair told a Middles brough audience that since last Feb. 1 the Royal Air Force had destroyed 658 German fighter planes during offensive operations over enemy ter- ritory and had itself lost 428 planes and 374 pilots. The minister said R.A.F. sorties over northwest France were pinning down large forces of German fighters which otherwise would be thrown against Russia.

The Americans brought what their commander, Maj.-Gen. Charles H. | Bonesteel, called “some interesting equipment”—skis, snowshoes and Gar- and automatic rifles for every man. —to take over camps built by the U.S. marines and British forces.

Maj.-Gen. H. O. Curtis, comman- der-in-chief of the British forces and general officer commanding the Bri- tish troops on the islands, continues in command of all soldiers, including the American contingent.

(The arrival of American naval and marine forces in Iceland was an- nounced on July 7, although Ameri- can officers were seen there as early as mid-May. U.S. army air corps units also are on the islands. On Sept. 25, the arrival in Reykjavik of U.S. army nurses was disclosed).

British Tommies off duty soon were in the best of terms with the Ameri- cans. These new troops appear to have supplies enough to ignore the rough Iceland winter.

The vast equipment should turn the bleak island into a Gibraltar of the north.

Speeding The Mail

To Establish Airgraph System tween Canada And Britain Ottawa.—-Postmaster General Mul- ock says arrangements are under way to institute an airgraph system between Canada and Great Britain. The airgraph system is the scheme whereby the sender writes his mes- sage a special form which is photographed on a miniature film. This is airmailed across to Britain where it enlarged and delivered. The plan is for communications be- tween Canadians troops over- seas, and is similar to the present ‘scheme used between Britain and troops in the Near East. The rate would be 10 cents a word.

ALL NECESSARY WAR SUPPLIES

Moscow.—Great Britain and the United States agreed to fill practic- ally all Soviet needs for war supplies in exchange for Russian raw ma- terials at the concluduing session of a momentous three-power conference that ended two days ahead of sched- ule.

It was probably the shortest inter- national council of such dimensions ever held, having lasted only three days. A joint statement issued by the British and American delega- tions and a Soviet communique told its results, in general terms.

Arrangements were made to “in- crease the volume of traffic in all directions,” it added.

The joint Anglo-American state- ment declared that Premier Stalin “expresses his thanks to the United States and Great Britain for their bountiful supplies of raw materials, machine tools and munitions of war” and acknowledged “the ample supply of Russian raw materials from the Soviet government.”

The statement ended:

“In concluding its session the con- ference adheres to the resolution of the three governments that after the final annhiliation of Nazi tyranny, a

The Soviet communique the “atmosphere of perfect mutual understanding, confidence and good will” and said the delegates were “in- spired by the eminence of the cause

Nazi threat of enslavement.”

Stalin, it said, “took an active part’ in the conference which “manifested perfect unanimity and

close co-operation of the three great |

powers in their common efforts to gain a victory over the mortal enemy of all freedom-loving nations.”

The Russian communique did not specifically mention the agreement for exchange of weapons and raw materials,

CUT OUTPUT OF ELECTRICAL GOODS BY ONE QUARTER

| Ottawa.—Domestic production of | radios, refrigerators, stoves, vacuum cleaners and electric washine ma chines has been reduced to 75 per cent. of 1940 output, the department of munitions and supply announced.

Tie curtailment order wags sent to manufacturers by Alan H. William- son, controller of supplies in the de- partment, with approval of R. C. | Berkinshaw, chairman of the war- time industries control board.

The preliminary reduction to per cent. of 1940 output will result in the following estimated decreases in production, the department said:

Radios, 123,000; electric washing machines, 25,000; electric refriger- ators, 13000; electric stoves, 7,700; gas stoves, 7,700; vacuum 10,000.

The ordered reduction applies to all other types of stoves but officials said that no estimate of the decreases in other types is available

The department described the ordered reduction a “smashing blow at the production and sale of non- esential consumer goods in wartime.”

“While the order is aimed at con serving steel, metals, and other ma- trials urgently for war purposes, it also curtails the trend toward increasing consumer purchas- ing in Canada which cannot be allowed to interfere with war produc- tion,” the said.

Producing Opposite Results

Murder Of Hostages In Europe Not Helping Nazi Cause

One of the hostages shot by the Germans in Paris last week was a youth of 19. Another was a man of 72. So far at least 25 hostages have been slaughtered in Paris. None of them was guilty of any crime. None was accused of a crime. None was tried by any process of law, not even by a court-martial. None had a chance to defend himself. All were lined up and shot simply because they had drawn certain numbers in a lottery.

This vengeance on the innocent is the final mechanization of inhuman- ity. It is a practice so coldly brutal and barbaric that the civilized lang- uages have no name for it. It does not reflect the sudden anger of some frustrated general. It is calculated and methodical. It has sent a shud- der around the earth. Only a nation corrupted by a dark Nazi mediaeval- ism could condone so shameful a pro- cess or accept it as an instrument of government.

DAUGHTER

OF DESTINY

— BY — Eleanor Atterbury Colton

CHAPTER XXVII,

For an instant that stretched time into infinity, Devona and Tal- bot faced each other across that

handsome room. A _ clock ticked sonorously somewhere, Devona realized. And a muffled thudding

that must be of her own heart pounded like distant kettle drums.

She waited, scarcely breathing, searching for the right word, right gesture-———

“Well?” Talbot finally broke the spell himself with a quietness that she had, a few moments ago, mis- taken for calm _ reasonableness. “Why did you come back? This isn’t going to be pretty.” ¥

Devona moistened dry lips, tried to match that false calm with real control. “I had to come back.”

“No you didn’t. And you'd better run along now. Surely a man has a right to”’—his lips twisted—“his own decisions.”

“No, not in this decision.” She took a step toward him, flinched as she saw his fingers tighten around the gun’s handle. “Not when it in- volves others.”

“Fortunately, this decision doesn’t involve any one but myself. Ex- cept,” he added dryly, “as it re- lieves them of responsibilities.”

“But it does, Tal. It involves all of us.”

“All of whom?”

“Every one who loves you.”

He shrugged. “Dale, maybe. But ['m a drag around his neck. He'll be better off. Otherwise, there’s no one.”

“Yes, there is. We all love you— I do, Tal.” That reached him—al- most, Instinctively she knew she’d touched him finally. ‘“You mustn’t do this—to me.”

The taut fingers on the gun butt relaxed a

little. “Do you mean that, Devona?” “But — of course, Tal.” It was

worth it, that little lie, she assured herself watching him drop the gun slowly onto the desk. Besides, it wasn't exactly a lie. She did love him—for himself, fgr the traits he shared with his brother, for his need of her. Not the way she loved, had loved—Dale. Still——

“Devona—you mean Tal's grim face relaxed, almost impercept- ibly at first, changed from despair to heartbreaking hopefulness.

Mute now with relief, Devona nodded, held out her arms to him. In the next moment he’d crossed the room to her, gathered her con- vulsively into his arms.

“Oh, my darling. Oh, my God, Devona. You don’t know what this means Devona, I love you. I've wanted you. I need you, my sweet.

The door, which had stood open since that terrible moment that Devona had flung it wide, closed softly now. The sound of its latch jerked at their attention.

Still holding her close, Tal spoke over her shoulder.

“Hello, Dale.”

For an instant Devona stared straight ahead at Tal’s satin lapel. An instant in which she tried to discipline the expression on her face, regiment the routed emotions flee- ing now like some ragged army through her mind, When she turned, she met the strange smile on Dale's lips, heard a note of—could it be hatred—in his voice.

“Well—sounds as if congratula- tions were in order, Tal.”

“I'll say!” Tal's face was a study in proud delight. “And what's the idea of busting in on a guy when he’s right in the midst of his proposing?”

Dale managed a grin. “Sorry, old man. I bad no idea you were up to that.”

“Neither did I—until just now.” Tal hugged her close, smiled down at her. “May I present the future Mrs. Brasher,” he said. Then laugh- ing, he amended, “The future Mrs. Talbot Brasher, I should say.”

Unfaltering, Devona met Dale’s glance as it travelled from Tal’s jubilant face to her own trembling smile.

“Congratulations, Tal,” Dale said, but he looked at her. very best wishes for your happi- ness.”

But Dale's eyes were bafflingly masked. He only smiled carelessly as Tal burst out of the room shouting, “Abbot! Hey, there, Abbot! Open that champagne. Both bottles. We're celebrating, Abbot! Where the Gevil is that

As Tal’s steps thundered down the |hall, Devona and Dale faced each jother across a widening chasm of |silence. Finally Dale bridged it with a sarcastic:

“So it’s Brasher.”

Obviously he hadn’t seen — he didn’t understand! She wanted to | sink into that chasm and pull it over her head. “Yes,” she managed quietly. ‘Talbot needs me.”

Perhaps it was better this way. For Tal’s sake, Dale had better not -know about—about the gun.

“And I presume” — Dale bowed a little, “you need him too?”

“Of course.’ Quick loyalty to Tal, to her own promise to him, prompted her as, head high, she met Dale’s jchallenge levelly. “I love him,” she added quietly.

“T see. Isn't it rather—sudden?”

She flushed, her eyes lowered, de- feated for the moment before the | savage assault of Dale's sarcasm.

“I—I——-" she stammered help- lessly, bit her lips as words refused to come,

“I didn’t know you had ambitions in his direction.”

That stung her pride out of its muteness, “What do you mean?”

“TI mean that for an ambitious |little girl like yourself, I'd rather assumed marriage would have to have a handsome price tag attached. |And———" His smile was like a |smart slap in the face, “if you didn’t know, you should be told now that the Brasher fortune is practically | non-existent.” | “Surprised! I don’t wonder! But you see—it’s this way. What the | depression didn’t do to us, this little | plunge into backing Tal's play, fin- lished up. We're broke, my dear | little future sister-in-law. So—lest | you be letting yourself in for some- | thing——-” | Fury swept a crimson flood-tide ‘into her cheeks as Devona took a {step toward him, her slim fists clenched, her words coming low and }even as she lashed out at him. “You're despicable. You're attri- |buting to me, and to Tal, your own {contemptible motives. I love Tal. I'll marry him for that reason- ~and for no other.”

“Good!” Dale applauded dryly, leaned one elbow against the fire- place mantel with magnificent care- \iessness. “And let's hope you really mean that. Tal couldn't stand another blow, I suppose you realize, Or—would anything like that really concern you?”

She clutched a chair back to keep her hands from flying to his smiling, sarcastic face. “I realize it—per- fectly. I shan’t let him down.”

“Again—good.” His eyes travel- led slowly from her face, down the length of her soft velvet gown, to

the points of her pretty slippers, and then back. “At that, it will be one way to advance your—career, won't it?”

So that’s what he thought Just a cheap opportunist! Devona's rage turned to dust in her throat. Dis- trusting her, Dale was only fighting her this way to protect Tal from what he probably believed was un- scrupulous selfishness. How could she make him see that | “Please believe me Dale. It’s not my career—it’s Tal’s I'll work for} jnow. You're so wrong about——”

“We shall see.’ Dale shrugged and then as Tal’s footsteps sounded again in the hall outside, he turned to her, his face grim, his voice | lowered.

“If you do let him down, if you {add one iota to the agony he’s just been through, by all the gods, De- vona Raebourne, I'll kill you. He's the only brother I’ve got and I hap- pen to care more about what hap- pens to him than anything else. Un- derstand that? Or can you?”

Mute, she nodded, fought tears.

“If you don’t mean it when you} say you love him——"’ Dale's eyes | blazed—‘“then I’m warning you to clear out while there’s yet time.”

But Tal’s hilarious return spared her an answer. Carrying a tray of thin-stemmed glasses and cham- pagne in a silver ice bucket, he kicked open the door, strode tri- umphantly into the room,

“You play bartender, Dale,” he commanded and, turning, swept De- vona into his arms again. ‘What do you think of my bride-to-be, old man? Isn’t she——” his eyes de- voured her, “gorgeous?”

“Very,” Dale agred dryly, picked up the silver handled bottle opener.

“And to think I found out she loved me on Just the night I needed to know it more than anything else,” he added, seriously, as he held her

close. Then, releasing her, he stamped across the room. “You| know, Dale, that play’s lousy. I

By heavens, I will, And I'll make those darned | critics eat every word they're rush- | ing off to get printed right this min- | ute. Won't I, darling?” Crossing | to her again, he gave her chin a lit-| tle shake, kissed the top of her nose | lightly.

Smiling, she nodded. you will.”

“And I'll pay yoy back, Dale—all your share of the estate that’s gone | up with this mess.” Tal’s face was flushed, eager.

Dale poured the bubbling cham- pagne with a steady hand, ‘Forget | that. It was a gamble I took with my eyes open, We lost. That's all.”

“But next time we won't lose” Tal}

Again Proving Valuable

Bessemer Process For Making Steel Is Now Being Used

The necessities of the United States defence and the Lease-Lend programs have brought about a resuscitation of the Bessemer process for making steel which was practic- ally rendered obsolete by the Sie- mens-Martin open hearth system many years ago. And it is proving extremely valuable because it oper-

ates on pig-iron only, and produces | steel sufficiently good for many pur-|

poses, in one-eighth the time taken by the more modern method. Henry Bessemer was an English- man, and invented many metal pro- cesses, but he owed his development of the process with which his name is identified to the interest of Na- Bessemer was set pon- dering the matter owing to the break down of somany guns in the Crimean war.

ernment he went to France where Napoleon gave him every assistance. The result was the invention of the converter process of making steel, and soon the world adopted it. In 1860, steel rails cost the equivalent of $600 a ton. Bessemer in six years brought it down to $200. His royal- ties brought him in more than $1,000,000 a year, and before he died the British government made amends by recommending Queen Victoria to make him a knight shortly before he died in London in 1898.

Since his day, however, the Bess- emer process has been improved, and now there are many kinds of work

for which it is useful. It is esti- mated that existing facilities in the United States can produce 9,-

600,000 tons of Bessemer steel in al

year, an increase of 2,600000 tons. There is not only a valuable saving of time, but of money as well. Best of all, tleneck.”

Says Sons Usually Follow’ In

Footsteps Of Father |

The old adage “like father, like, son,” was borne out by Ruth E.! Eckert, associate professor of edu- | cation at the University of Minne-|! sota, at the annual University of | Chicago conference on business edu- cation.

Citing recent studies indicating | the close relationship between a boy’s progress, both in and out of school, and the occupation of his father, Miss Eckert said:

“A study in Maryland disclosed | that more than eight times as large a proportion of young people whose fathers were in the unskilled labor group left school and went to work before they were 16 years old as) was the case with youth whose fathers were professional or tech- nical workers.”

The study also indicated that if a} boy’s father has a low income job) the odds are three to one against the | boy rising to a white collar level. Conversely, the study showed that the chances of falling from a white | !collar job to a lower income level are four to one.

Recalling The Crimea

A Spot On The Map That Is Rich In British Traditions

“Grimea cut off by Nazi forces, London Hears.” So runs a headline, and that eastern battle front by the same token suddenly grows more vivid. Crimea is a place name rich with associations for all English- reading men. But Crimea—that sounds different. Our tribal kindred fought over all the Crimea less than a century ago, and they fought at the very noon of Victoria's day, one of the two great ages for men who speak English. The tight little isle then was literally over-populated with great thinkers, great doers and, above all, great artists of the pen.

The Crimea—why, we still wear Lord Raglan’s overcoat, invented for that campaign by the showoff gen- eral, and Florence Nightingale lives Then there’s “The Song of

;the Camp,” which no one seems to

remember by its title, but Which everybody recalls when some singer starts off: “Give us a song, the sol- diers cried!”

“The Charge of the Light Brigade”

well, the kiddies at school recited that for a full half century on Fri- day afternoons. And one great snatch of “deathless song’ sired another by Kipling in one of his sombre and terrible moods—‘The Last of the Light Brigade,” in which the old color sergeant 40 years after says that Tennyson was almost right about the “mouth of hell,” as “we are all nigh unto the workhouse.”

The belief that varieties of wheat and other crops deteriorate, or “go back,” is widespread. This belief is probably quite old; indeed, it may trace back to Charles Darwin's con- viction that “nature abhors self- fertilization.” Thus in the early years of the present century we witnessed efforts to rejuvenate Red Fife and Marquis by crossing different plants of the same variety. This resulted in “regenerated” Red Fife, or “regener- ated” Marquis; but there was never a shadow of evidence that the re- generated strains were any more pro- ductive than the originals.

The “going back” idea may be strengthened by the knowledge that growers of hybrid corn must renew their seed each year. However, the situation with cross-fertilized crops, such as corn, is quite different from that with crops mainly self-fertilized such as wheat, oats «nd barley.

The fact that Thatcher wheat suf- fered from leaf rust this year has led many people to believe that its rust resistance is weakening. This is em- phatically not so. Leaf rust and stem rust are caused by two quite differ- ent fungi. Thatcher has always been susceptible to leaf rust, and there is nothing to suggest that it is less re- sistant to stem rust than it was ten years ago.

Deterioration in farm stocks of wheat is due to volunteering of other varieties grown a year or more earlier, to mechanical mixing in machinery or granaries, to livestock pasturing on or passing over fields, and to occasional natural crossing with other nearby varieties.

The occurrence of speltoids in wheat might be considered an ex- ample of deterioration through natural causes; but they appear to be largely self-eliminatine (To be cone’

FARMERS...AS IMPORTANT AS ARMOURERS

It may not appear so dramatic to operate a dairy farm, to grow grain or raise bacon as to make planes and steel tanks, but the work of the farmer is just as essential to victory as the work of the armament maker.

Always interested in the development of agriculture and practical co- operation with farmers, the Bank of Montreal is especially desirous now of assisting our growers of foodstuffs.

Farmers are cordially invited to talk confidentially with our nearest branch manager respecting their credit needs.
