Why Britain Needs Eggs

\Vill farmers and poultry associations please note. Lord Dawson of Penn, the Kings Physician, atldressing the llotise of Lords on nutritive food for the nation had this to say for eggs: “If you give one hundred pottnds of protein food to the cow it produces thirty-five pounds of milk, the hen produces thirty-one pounds of eggs, the pig twenty-one potttitls of meat, and the bullock, which is l1_v far the lowest, only seven pounds of meat. This order of efficiency is accepted by all authorities, including the National Com- mittcee on Nutrition ivhich was founded by the League of Nations. My first point, therefore, is that the egg is not something you can treat light- ly, and secondlyg that it is a food of very great value from a nutritive point of view, Making e comparison with milk, it is rich in protein and vitamins and as far as vitamin B is concerned it is even better than milk. The egg is a very digestible z-tirl easily lundlcd food. In cookery light foods are of great importance, and they are especially important to worker: who are be- ginning to get weary in mind and weak in their digestions, as they are very apt to do under the conditions that prevail to-rlay. All authorities are agreed that without milk and without eggs you cannot make light food, and though it is right that there should be a priority of eggs for children and for some invalids from the point of view of preventive medicine, from the point of view of ltc-eltitig the active population wqll and fit we cannot neglect the fact that the availa- bility of e258 will play a big and important part."

What Lincoln Said

/

Apropos of the King Government's attitude towards conscription for active service, and re- calling probably .\lr. King's oft-professed ad- miration for Abrztltam Lincoln, the Calgary Herald citcs the following incident as not un- worthy of considcratioti at Ottawa:

In i863 the United States was in desperate straits. The Civil War, which had broken out in 186i, 11:11] so fttr resultctl in an almost unbroken , string of victories for the Cotifedcrate armies. Early i11 the war the southern armies had pushed to within 30 tnilcs of Washington. The Union army was in chaotic condition. Generals quar- rclcd. Armies fought like undisciplined mobs. There was every indication that the Union would fall.

It seems strange that a Canadian insurance coinpaity sliotild be paying at par an annunity

to .\larshal Petain, the only explanation being

that it is paid through the London office and that the British Government permits it. The annunity amounts to $2,670, and the Chancellor of the Exchequefs (Sir Kingsley Wood) ex- planation is that the Marshal had been permitted to transfer to France an annuity taken out with Speaking three days after Mr. S. S. Silverman, Labor, served notice he would ask the Chancellor of the Ex- cheqticr about reports that the head of the Vichy government had been allowed to transfer either capital or interest to France, Sir Kingsley went on: “An exception lias been made from the nor- mal practice on the grounds that Marshal Petain is the head of a state, and his contract is with a Caitadian company, and the Dominion of Can- ada is still in diplomatic relations with the Vichy

justice Minister Ernest Lapointe’: health is not permitting him to attend to his official duties. and it is stated he will be obliged to spend some time in a ltospital for observation This unfor- tunate development and the protracted absence of Hon P. l. A. Cardin, who has not fully recov- ered froi11 the effects of his serious illness and operation, have revived demands for a strength- ening of Quebcds representation in the federal Cabinet. One of the names prominently men- tioned in connection with any ministerial shake- tip is that of Brigadier George P. Vanier, now in charge of the Quebec City Military District and former Canadian Minister to Paris. There is an insistence, too, front the younger Quebec members that one of their number be promoted to the post of a minister.

Would that Mackenzie King enjoytcd such a reputation and proved such a reliable character! Never has a mart commanded the love and re- spect ontside his own country that Winston Churchill does, said Richard Redler, head of the Etiropcan Section, Austrian Foreign Office press services, under Chancellor Schnschnigg. addressing members of the Montreal People's Forum. “Never has there been so much respect for Great Britain," the speaker, who was freed from Camp cl'lvernay in unoccupied France, later interned at Martinique and finally freed through United States intervention said_ “As an Austrian I can say we are ready to accept the leadership of Great Britain in the reconstruction of post- war Europe. What is more the peoples of Eur- ope expect it to bring order into this world. As the conqueror of Hitler. Britain cannot do less than take the lead in making a new order,

Prime Minister Mackenzie King had not said mtich about compulsory military service ttntil Mr. Karl Homuth, fiery Ontario Conservative, drew from the Prime Minister these words: "Any young man in this country who does not recog- nize the serionsness of the situation and does not play his part in helping to meet it, is going to suf- fer for it during the rest of his days." What kind of suffering the young man would be called on to endure was not specified, but it i: presumed his conscience would bother him. Probably he may have been speaking from personal exper- ience though his success as a politician since 1914-1918 seems to belie this. The emphasis, is still on voluntary enlistment for overseas ser- vice. The Government i: apparently relying on the young men seeing their duty and doing it through the promptings of their perception of the difference between right and might, and not through any use of force by a Mackenzie King Government of Canada. This is equivalent to saying "Don’t do a: Iiidid‘ but do as I tell you."

The Ark Royal

(By Klrke L. Slmpson) Mssoclated Press Staff Writer) The .s ctre ship of the war. the

huge a craft carrier Ar.k Royal which has haunted Hitler and Mus- 50111113 victory dreams for two years

like a nautical banquois ghost, has gone to the bottom finally, sunk by an Axis submarine.

That the Ark Royal will be en- shrined tn British annals with such hero ships as Nelson's Vlcto goes without saying. Her log boo re- Dortlng many an action tn far seas since Berlin and Rome verbally bombed her out of the war tell a thrilling story.

And sea power, in its triple modern sense of combat aloft, nlow, and on the sea‘: restless surface, still ls Brltatns ultimate guarantee against. her foes. Britannia still rules the waves that wash the shores of ner world-glrdllng empire.

The presumption that. It was an Italian submarine which downed the Ark Royal arises from the scene of action. east of “The Rock" in the Mediterranean. The mere fact that the shlp was in those waters and based as dlcate at Gibraltar stresses Italy's failure to live ll to her full share ln the Axis war gar- gain.
