Warns Against Loose Talk

1t ,was manifest that Mr. Church- ill and BBC were not at cross pur- poses. for the broadcast was seen as merely another of a series of ap- peals asking the French to sit tight, and assuring them they would be told in tune when an offensive was

on.

To some observers the whole im- plication of Ml‘. Churchill's m. marks. which were notable for their omissions. was this: We have plans for winter and spring but e1 s keep Hitler guessing.

0I'I‘AWA.. Sept, 29—(CP)—Mot- orists in the provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta will have their gasoline ration cut from ‘five to four gallons a unit. the MIIIHWJIIS and supply Department announced

today.

The one-fifth reduction becomes effective at the conclusion of tomor- row's business and will mean a further and unexpected cut for the thousands of prairie drivers who Will be reduced from "A" to the MW category which comes into effect Oct. 1.

The reduction brings 111M146 DW- vince motorists. the last in Canada w enjoy the original five-gallon quota, to the ration level now in ef- fect in Ontario, uebec and Brit- ish Columbia. In t e Maritime Pro- vinces the unit has a value of three gallons.

Increased demands from the northwest and heavy use of 8B5- oline in harvesting a bumper crop were given by Oil Controller G. R. Cottrelle as reasons for the cut.

"The position in the prairie pro- vinces is acute." Mr. Cottrelle said in the departmental announcement.

“The difficulty of bnnina sub- plies of Petroleum into Canada has ed and the war demand

ration might be necessary. "Hcretolore the west has been

able to obtain a measure of relief, by drawing on eastern refineries but this is no longer possible be- cause of the movement of petrol- eum products from Ontario to Que- bec and the Maritimes." he explain-

“The rise in demand is greatest at the moment in the northwest where great quantities of petroleum products are bing consumed for the Alaska highway."

Where formerly the prairie mot. orist with an “A" ration book got 300 to 380 gallons annually depend- ing on the size of his car. the re- duction means he now will act 240 to 325 llallons.

Prairie motorists who are class- ified in the new “A.A" category which goes into effect Oct l will get a maximum of 6i gallons to do them until next April 1, instead of the 80 gallons they expected to db- tain with their l6 "AA" coupons.

Hon. Dr. W". J. P.

He scored the failure of Prime Minister King to take od- vantage of the British proposal to establish the British Common- wealth Air Training Plan in Can- ada in 1938 thus losing two val- uable years in building up the Air Force of the Empire.

“Two years of that important work was lost because of Prime Minister Mackenzie ‘King's bung- ling," he declared. 0n that occas- n King would not cooperate with the British when they came to Canada to start the plan and it was “turned down by the dis- graceful action on the part Mackenzie King and his cabinet."

l-Ie charged that at present Can- ada had a "bile-sided overn- ment" and was the only pace in the British Commonwealth of Na- tions "when they haven't united." He pointed to the example set by Great Britain "where they rcal~ fmed the need of a supremo all out effort and got the political par- ties lined up."
