In The Wake Of Victory

As our victorious armies surge through Nazi- occupied Europe, one chief concern of the Allied leaders will be to relieve the acute food shortage. The retreating enemy may be counted upon to make conditions as difficult as possible, destroying and looting as he goes. Fortunately careful preparations have been made beforehand to deal with this situation. The Combinctl Food Board, composed of repre- sentatives of Great Britain. Canada and the United States, plans to set aside military food supplies for the tisc of rcoccupicil countries as soon as the Gcriiiaius have been driven out. There is also it) uiachincijv of the United Nations’ Relief fld "hbilitzrion Arliiiinistration to take care of ciiicrgcncics as they arise. This year, crops in Canada and the United States have been abunchnt. Ilut, notwithstanding, demands for food will be of prodigious proportions. U. N. h. l\'. A. contemplates industrial rehabilita- tion as well as zigi-iculturzil; though it will not assist new construction projects. In all, it is estimated that stunt-thing like two and a half million dollars will ht- available for relief pur- poses, when the levies on the Ifiiited Nations have been collccictl. liven so. it ls a sum which will not go very far towards doing all that is necessary in the war-torn countries. It is con- sidered likely that the more wealthy members of the alliance will be called upon to increase their Cfilllflbllllkllls, while the smaller nations will not perhaps be ziblcuo meet the allotted quota of one per cent of their national income. computed for the year ending June 3o, I943.

Canada may be depended upon to do its full share in the work of relief and rehabilita- tion and will offer what guidance and assist- ance it can to nations less favourably endowed than herself. As regards the United States, it is estimated that of the total domestic food pro- duction, 75 per cent goes into civilian channels, while 25 per cent is allocated for military and Lend-Lease necds——i3 per cent to the armed forces, 8 per cent to Lend-Lease, I per cent to Ifnited States territories, and 3 per cent to thi": liberated peoples.

"All Ready For Tourists"

Under the above heading W. L. Clark“ writes in his daily column in the \\'indsor Star:

“When the war came and curtailed gasoline, Prince Edward Island had just got itself nicely on the motoring tourist map of“ Canada and the United States. The people had discovered the "million-acre farm" by the sea. Many of the visitors had startctl to come again and again. They had been welcomed warmly and they liked the Island. i

“As soon as the war ends, Prince Edward Island hopes this tourist travel will be resumed in constantly increasing volume. The war has taken many Canadians to the Island to train at the different air schools. These young men have liked the place and some of them have been visited there by their families, who also liked it.

“There will be a new car ferry operating some time in I945 and communication will be improved as soon as conditions permit.

"It would be a good idea if many Canadians decided to sce their o\vn country during their vacations after the war. One good trip would be to make a tour of the hfaritimes and see what fine country it is down by the Atlantic.”

_____.______ The Difference

After’ listening to Mr. Gordon Graydon, Progressive Conservative ‘House leader, outline MrnBrackens stand on Canadian autonomy within the Empire, john Blackmore, Social Cre- dit leader, stated that he could find little dif- ference in Mr. Brackens and Mr. King's posi- tion.

It is true that both Mr. Bracken and Mr. King have made it clear that their parties stand for close co-opcration between Canada and the other uationstof the Commonwealth, short of the point of stibmcrging the personality of this Doiniiiitiii in an Empire bloc. Neither lawn" the “Single Voice" plan, whereby Com- monwealth members would be pledged in ad- vance to speak‘ with one voice on all issues.

There is n0 political issue between the two partics in this ficld, iii the face of their respect- ive declarations.

"The real difference between certain Lib- erals and Progressive Conservatives on the Com- monwcaltli issue," says the Winnipeg Tribune, “is largely a matter of accent or emphasis. Some of Mr. King's followers give the impression of being perpetually suspicious of Downing street. In their voices when they touch upon the British Commonwealth and Empire, we some- times detect a faint sneer—\vhercas Mr. Brack- en and his followers approach it with a ring- ing cheer."

General Patton's Comeback

How a hot-tempered U. S. officer "came back" is told by the Telegraph-journal: Last fall in Sicily, l.t.-Gen. George S. Patton of the United States Army lost his temper, forgot his dignity, slapped a soldier he mistakenly believed to be a coward. The incident aroused public iii- dignaliiin. ln (liutgrrss there ivcrc demands that the general ilt‘ dt-iiiolcrl or ilismisseil. (len- eral “llt-u" liist-iilimvt-r ri-sistctl these demands, and, stubbornly contended that General Patton was too good a man to lose from active duly. Patton stayed in Europe——undcr a cloud. He is

under a cloud no more. For it wu he who, at the head of the newly-formed U. S. Third Army, broke out of the Normandy peninsula where the Allied troops had been pinned down for several weeks, and made the drive through Brittany, taking the big ports of Brest and St. Nazaire. Then he wheeled his forces back toward Paris on the Le Mans road, and made a daring turn northward to trap the German Seventh Army. In short, he led one of the m'ost brilliant man- oeuvres of the war in Western ‘Europe. There- by he proved that General ‘Eisenhower's con- fidence in him was not misplaced. And from being perhaps the most unpopular top-flight of- ficer in the U. S. forces, he suddenly emerged as

swashbuckling general-who goes into action

hand-also won back his reputation. The Uni- ted States Senate committee, which had last year refused to confirm his promotion, now confirm- ed it unanimously. General Patton had lived down a rash moment, emerged as a hero.

The Rommel Myth

After what has been happening to the Germans in France. it would seem a good time to assess the value of their commander, Fleld Marshal Erwin Rommel. Rom- mel, the desert fox, the man the Nafls believed would always live to fight. and wln agan. The truth about Rommel is that he ls a fraud, a. publlclw hound with an even bett- er pres; agent behind him. The letters name ls Dr. Josef Goebbels, Marcel Wallensteln writes from Landon in The Kansas City Star.

Both Germans and Britlsh com- blned to give Rcmmel a reputation as a. general when the two countries were represented in the African desert in the long contest. After the British had strength. Rommel came ln with his excellent. Africa Korps and drove the British back to Egyptian soil.

In Germany he became the most. popular armv - commander; newspapers and magazines were filled with his pictures and tales of his exploits. Goebbels, his good friend. turned the generals name into a verb, To "Rommel" an en- emy meant. to put him out of act.- lon. Very soon Britain and all the United Nations were to be Rommel-I ed by this master soldier. -

. . .

At El Alamoln Rommel stuck out‘ the iron neck of his pianzers and lost. He 10st. again at the Mareth, line. The Afrlka Korps marched to- ward Britain and the prison cages. Rommel took over for a short time in Italy. nnd than returned to Ger- man. He came back ln France, re- placing Field Marshal von Rund-' stedt. He was wounded and to date he has lost some l4 divisions of Hitler's troops. But, no sign of displeasure crmes vet. from Berlin. Rommel, n Nazi of the Nazis, ls trusted not to revolt. Hitler feels sure Rommel wltl never carry a knife up his sleeve.

Rcmmefs story l5 one cf bluff and grandstand plays. A jun1or~ lieutenant in World War 1, he turn- ed up at headquarter; with e. com- pany of French infantry he said he single-handed and received a decoration. Later when the truth came out. ln a French statement the German general staff refused Rommel a place in its holy circle. He repeated the fake per- formance of capturing large num- bers of the encmy in Italy, march- ing ln to a tzeneral with a. huge, batch of prlscners who had surr-, endered voluntarily. He was again decorated, but. after the war the} newly organized relctiswenr refused, to have anything to do with him.

At this time. a disgruntled young officer. lie met Hitler, becizmeia. member nf the Nazi gang fighters in Bavaria. and ls believed to lmvr been lnvolvcd ln some of the wcrs. episodes of the rise of the party. Eventually he obtained a tempor- ary omnusslon. He was e ’ a lecturer ln an infantry school and produced a book on T

year 1963 was o. good one for all aspiring Nazis. Hitler took over that vear.

. . -

In the Nazl regime Rommel wasi appointed llason officer between the Hitler Youth movement and the armed forces, This was the thin edge of the wedge-penetration of the army by Hitler's trusted out- siders. Now a colonel, Rommel be- gen to accompany Hitler to staff meetings, becoming preseiitlv Hit.- ler's military adviser.
