The impression still prevails that farmers are one class who will benefit, through increased

rices and greater demand. as a result of war.

he final years of the last war are recalled. Con- ditiom have changed, and changed drastically. France is out of the picture, Britain in living on I planned economy and with scientific rations in prospect. Prices are. and will be, carefully con- trolled. The Canadian farmer can contribute much towards wining this war but his im- mediate outlook is not entirely rosy.

ipcoplc were given a fair chance to supply munitions and war materials in a much larger way, there would be fewer idle people in East- ern Canada, war production would be hastened, and all would be better able to meet the wartime taxes and to make some savings which the gov- ernment could borrow.

“Let it not be forgotten that the men and women of these provinces, for the most part, are earnest and efficient workers, among the best in Canada.

“Besides awarding war orders, the govern- ment is supplying capital for the creation of war industries in the Central provinces. Instead of placing taxpayers’ money for war produc- tion entirely in the Central areas, one or two thousand miles from Eastern ports, it would be prudent business if the Maritimcs were used."

Another Liberal paper, the New Glasgow Chronicle, has been making similar complaints.

Thomas Gainsborough, one of the thirty original members of the Royal Academy, died ,this dare, I798. He, more than any other artist. should be called the father of English painting. The greatest colourist of the early British School, he was rapid and facile in execution. dignified and graceful in expression, absolutely true to life and nature, and essentially English in sentiment. He painted over 300 canvases, 220 of which were portraits.

Our Canadian capital, it is understood. is be- ing considered by the Ilapsburg family as the future home of the fortner Austrian ruling house. If its members decide affirmatively, for- mer Empress Zita, her son, Otto, and the rest of the family will buy or lease a. house there. Princess Juliana of the Netherlands has al- ready leased one with ten acres of grounds in Rockcliffe, affording the seclusion she finds de- sirable, and will soon move into it with her child- ren from Rideau Hall, where they have been the guests of the Earl of Athlone, Governor Gen- eral, and Princess Alice.

President Roosevelt has prohibited the export of petroleum products and scrap metal except under license, effective August I. The order, while subject to extension at any time under the Presdicnfs national defence powers restricts the licensing to aviation gasoline, aviation high grade lubricating oil, tetraethyl lead, which is used in the production of high octainc aviation gasoline, and No_ 1 heavy melting iron and steel scrap. All are important to japan and in lesser degree to Germany and Italy. The action was taken for the announced reason that the materials, and especially a native gasoline, should be conserved for the national defence needs of the United States.

An English entomologist has noticed that butterflies are no longer to be found in those localities of the countryside which are used for either target practice or for experimentation with explosives. Three theories have been advanced for the phenomenon: the insects are simply frightened away and seek quieter localities, the constant detonations shatter their delicate nerv- ous system and prevent for a time their pro- pagation; the vibrations of the air caused by the detonations not only do this but ultimatgly destroy them entirely. A writer in The Field of London agrees with the last view but modifies it by the changes in English climate and men- tions several beautiful species which are becom- ing extinct in England. He adds: “bfany people believe the numbers were kept up in the early part of this century by eggs arriving in this country on fruit stocks imported from

Liberal Papers Critical \\.

The Ilalifax Chronicle (Liberal) complains that in one ri-=;i<-ct at lcnst Canada's war pro- duction prngrzmunc, .1.- nutlincrl in Parliament this wcck, is diqippniiitiiig. While everybody in Canada is eager to scrvc in some capacity, the result of the (YovPriiiiiPiitYs effort is t0 establish war industries in ccntral areas. Everybody is re- quired to pny the nut of the war, but for the most part, only the business interests in Central Canada will yirorlucc and benefit.

Our Halifax contemporary rightly says that the “outlying Provinces" are contributing their share of mcn and money to enable Canada to carry on. They give generous support to fund raising campaigns for war purposes; but when munitions and supplies are to be produced, the Central Prbviiii-cs nrc given the contracts.

A long standing grievance of business men may be remedied" soon should the Mackenzie King Government summon sufficient courage to make civil servants’ salaries subject to gami- shee. A bill for the purpose in Manitoba re- ceived second reading in the Senate when Gov- ernment leader Dandurand explained there were about 1,300 civil servants in Manitoba who re- fused to pay their provincial taxes. Senator john Haig (Con. Manitoba) said they had been sued. The case was carried to the Privy Coun- cil, which ruled the taxes were collectible. But the Province could not collect because it could not garnishee the Crown. Conservative Leader Meighcn asked that third reading be put over. He suggested the Crovernment consider amending the bill to make all civil servants’ salaries sub- ject to garnishee. lrle thought the present law was "class legislation nf the worst sort." Sena- tor A. C. llarrly (Lib. Ontario) agreed with Senator Meighen and said it would be a boon to businessmen in Ottawa if civil servants’ snl- aries were marle stibject to garnishce. Senator Dandurand Said he would draw (he attention of the Minister of Finance to the remarks of the 811511011.

“France must return to her agri- cultural and 1x41511111 character." These are not Hitler's xvcrds. They are the words of Marshal Henri Plullppe Petaln, addressing the French Parliament.

There was an interesting point raised by Mr. J. B. Priestley, well known B" sh author, 1n his broadcast uxide. the utle of "Talk on Lhc Vlorld Vvlcltare“ last night. Mr. Prlestleyk remarks dealt wath runerlcan radzo brcadcasters’ com- ments on Brit-aims agreement to close temporarily the Burma Road which has been carrying American war supplies to China. He assured his American listeners that most people 1n Britain are ready to fight to the death for ideals and aspira- lions common to the peoples of Bri- Laln and the UnLt/cd Siazcs, All Amerzcans, he said, could not be expected to see this as clearly as the British. But, he added, "we do implore you to ask your com- mentators to spare you and us some of their ringside seat, nuan- ners and remarks. Pepple who are not prepared yet to fight. for any- chlng anywhere should not. rebuke others because they can not un- dertake to fight for everything every-where.” It, should be noted that, Mr. Prlestleyk remarks were addressed to the commentators whom we have had reason to m- buke on several occasions fcr their unauthorized and misleading state- ments regarding the wur. The Am- erican press. with a fcw notorious exceptions that were only to be ex- 1 pected, has been deeply sympathetic to Britain. It takes a long time, however, to convince some people that everybody broadcasting for fifteen minutes over the radio 1s not heaven scm and not 1n the confidence of the Dictators ber- sonallv. - Montreal star.
