Britain's Air Armament

The repeal of the United States embargo on arms shipments is now assured. The Senate having approved, the remaining stages of the legislative process are regarded as mere for- malities, and it is expected that the bill will be- come effective early next week at the, latest.

What this means to Britain and, France may be surmised from the fact that $l,ooo,ooo,oo0 in war orders are expected to be released with- in the next few weeks. A huge part of these orders will be for airplanes and supplies for the, Allies. Germany can buy if she has the money, but the British fleet holds control of the seas and purchases must be made on a "cash and carry" basis.

Conncident with this cheering news comes announcement from London that already British construction-rate in war-planes has over- taken the German, of which much was made at the time of the outbreak of hostilities two months ago. It had been known that British industry had been assigned the task of producing fight- ing planes in numbers which would be consider- rd adequate. \Vith the German rate of building planes outstripped, Britain has attained at least one of her objectives.

Numbers of fighting planes are, says an ex- change, largely matters of conjecture. No power ever has given accurate estimates. Germany and her supporting partner Russia were credited with war-planes running into the thousands. But now s change has taken place with the statement that Great Britain can place three thousand first line planes in war service. In addition there is the French effort and it is probable that France possesses more fighting planes than does Bri- tam. p

Factories in all countries will, of course, con- tinue to build. But the Allied command of the sea and ability to blockade Germany makes a difference. Materials needed for planes can reach both Britain and France. The U-boat attacks may take a cargo here and there but in the long run the stream of supplies into the Al- lied countries will exceed anything that Ger- many can obtain. This should mean that Allied supplies for this essential war service will en- sure a greater number of war-planes as time goes on, than can be produced in Germany.

The newest British planes are given a speed as great as any in the world and probably sur- passing all others. The long-threatened German large-scale raiding on open British towns will find opponents as fast and as well armed-

An Elder Stateman

An outstanding figure in public life in Can- ada for many years was the late Hon. Hugh Guthrie, Chairman of the Board of Transpoi; Commissioners and former Minister of Justice, who died in Ottawa yesterday. Mr. Guthrie was Solicitor General in the Union Govern- ment headed by Sir Fobert Borden during thc last war. He held many prominent positions, including that of temporary leader of the Con- servative party following Mr. Meighen's resig- nation after the I926 election. In The Canadian Press sketch of his career which appears in to- day's issue, tribute is paid to parliamentary abil- ity and unfailing courtesy-qualities which are not always combined but which in Mr. Guthrie's case were characteristic. Dean of the House of Commons when he retired from active political life in i935, he was held in the highest esteem by all classes.

Hitlerian Savagery

"\\'c are striving against the recrudescence of savagery and tyranny,” Lord Tweedsmuir told the OiflCCfS of the Black Watch regiment in Montreal last wcck. The "white paper" pub- lishcd by the British Ministry of Information provcs-—-if further proof were needed — llo\v completely justified is the Governor-Generals scathing condemnation of the Nazi regime. The unfortunate Jews hcrded into concentration

their racial OIHIOXIUUSHCSS to the mad Fuehrer, are exposed, on his orders, to cruel floggingS. “up to sixty strokes." Details of tortures deliber- atcly inflicted arc revolting; to use the official language of thc document, they are “reminiscent of the iliirkcst ages in thc history of man."

The fate of the Jews in Germany, now that the country is at war, is worse than ever. Der Angriff, thc news organ of Rcicliniinister of Propaganda Goebbels, is now conducting a cam- paign to deprive them of food cards, “because (icrniany is undergoing a blockade and because the co-rcligionists of the (ieriuan Jews are con- ducting ivar propaganda abroad against Ger- many." The Angriff has the inipcrtinencc to advise "the Jcivs iii America to urge their racial brothers in the Reich to he more modest and less seen." This latest (liscriininzitioii in the distri- bution nf food supplies threatens starvation for the Jews in Germany.

Ii view of this inhuman treatment, the Jews in c ll(|l1Ct‘€(f Poland will no doubt welcome thc “Jewish state" inaugurated November l, with Lublin as its capital. Into this area, according to the newspaper Politikcn, of Copenhagen, Den- mark, all fhe Jews living in German-held Polish territory will be concentrated. Just how they will fare within the reserve _will depend uppn the nature of the control exercised by the Reich. It is not to be supposed that they will left iii peace to themselves.

Ill IIDICAL IIDI OI‘ EVACUATION

'I‘he story of Britain's efficient evacuation of city children has surfed the heart-s of all Canadians and the fact that. 1t was executed without mishap was received with me mm» gratification rne health. conditions of this evacuees W111 be of turtha: invezest, special- ly since authoritative information is now available u to thc medical slde of evaeuafilon.

The British press has been 31v- 113 ouch i. 07130:] t."- tttg cling that Britain's school medical service should he condemned for the revelation of vermin iincsta- tfon of school chllcbm. “The 1nd- lcsl Officer,“ s. Journal printed 1n London inr medical men in Gov- emme 1n an early October issue, gives de- tails from the south-western cem- er of Surrey, covering the bllletlng of over slx thousand children, chiefly from London.

At the dlspersal centres every evacuee was medlcally examined by teams of nurses and no delay caused to the bllletlng officers.

Vermlnous heads and oodles were one of the chief troubles. Q was impetigo of which there were 3i cases. Other contagious dls- cases included l diphtheria, a chickenpox and 8 whooping cough cases and according to the dig. trlct medical officer of health,

after the evacuation, there were epidemic troubles 1n all parts of the district, but these were kept localized. "So far," this doctor re- ports, "infectious disease 1s almost confined to the evacuees, the local children remaining free from the Chicken-poll. impetigo, scarlet fever, diphtheria, mimics, whoop- ing cough and infectious sore throat which ls making lte appear- ance 1n locallzed area. all over the district."

Most reception areas have been troubled by evacuees who are dirty in person, or in habits, or suffering from con- tagious skln diseases. and many medical offloers determined to prevent the deterioration of their districts, have adopted vigorous methods of cleansing and cure re- gardless of their powers, or of t-hc consequences, with the surprising results that their measures are welcomed and not resented."
