Suspension May Not Last Longer Than Six Weeks

(By The Canadian Press) OTTAWA. Sept. 21—The Gov- ernment today removed one of the

major causes of criticism of its

new meat rationing system by , temporaril lifting ‘fancy mans" —1lv=r. l cart. kldney_ tongue,

sweetbreads and blood sausage- from the list of rationed meats.

The temporary suspension. an- nounced in the Commons by Fin- ance Minister Ilsley, is effective tomorrow and means that these by-products may be purchased freely without the use of ration coupons in fresh, cured, smoked or cooked forms.

‘Ihe suspension, which may last six or eight weeks, does not, how- ever, include fanc meats packed in hermetically-sea ed containerscr processed meat containing any o! the lay-products as an ingredient. Ration coupons still must be sur- rendered for the purchase of those commodities.

Nor does the suspension make any difference in present regulat- ions governing meatless dayl. Pub- lis eating places still will be pro- hibited from serving livers, hearts, kidneys, tongues and the like on meatless Tuesdays and Fridays.

Document Causes Uproar

WASHINGTON, Sept. Bl, (Reuters) - Officials of the Brit- ish financial and trade mission in Washington were shaken from their beds todav by the premature par- t/ol disclosure of a “top secret" doc- ument outlining the crucial British argument in the negotiations under way for a large-scale United States credlt_to Britain.

The documentsmvere being pre- pared ior release for publication during the next few days but hadn't bccn approved either by the United Stutfs erutisorltties-whcte accept- ancc of them is an essential part of the British program-or by the British Cabinet.

(The New York Times said today it had come into possession of Britain's documented case which it said presented "h. gloomy statistical picture of the deplcton of Great Britain's reslrrces during her six VORIS at warfl’)

can be confirmed that the

Kev-nos. negotiating head of the delegation, is based on the hard statistical contention that compar- ativeiv speaking the British eon- trlbution to the defeat. of the Axis powers was over-whelmingly great- er than that of the United States in every possible way.

llaiion or the British war effort. rd Keynes showed that:

the RCAF, The Gloster

BY JACK BRAYLEY

OTTAWA. Sept 21 — (CF) An aerial ropetrid! that saw the let-propelled Gloster Meteor streak almost perpendicularly from 500 to 15.000 feet almost as fast as it takes to read this paragraph was per- formed at nearby Rodrcllffe Air Station today.

Sqcln Ldr. Sham Badoux, multi- decorated ace from Stellarton. N S., put the propelloriess fighter through its paces for lhe entertainment of Dress and technical men. When he landed he admitted to s0me “but- tcrflics" in his stomach after speeds of more than 500 miles an hour and the spectators had cricks ‘in their necks from following the wraithe-like jet across the sky.

The plane is the gift of the Brit- ish All‘ Ministry to the R.C.A F. ‘ and will be used for research. es- peclaily in connection with fuel, conservation and cold weather tests. r

Sqdn. Ldr. Badoux demonstrated‘, the manoeuvrabllity of the sllmi plane in 15 minutes of aerial acre-r batics at terrific speeds over the’ alrdrome. pie also slowed the plane i clown to show ‘its complete range: of speed. l

The turbine jet motor opens up new vistas in transport speed. The ; other day this fighter craft went: the ZOO-odd air miles to Montreair and back in about 25 mixiutes. l

Scientists have said that, whent spceds of more than 1,000 miles an hour are eventually developed the current, problems of drag. pressures and other conditions will be dis- pelled and the Possibility of a trip m the moon may even be consid-

ered.

Meanwhile. the practical problem of fitting the jet propulsion into commercial life now is being stud- lcd. 'I“ne Jet has only a limited range because of the great quan- tity of cheap parafin fuel it con- sumes

However, its Roll-Royce turbine motors can be equipped with pro- pellers which cu‘? down its fuel con- sumptlon and increase its range and economy But the speed is decreased. The turbine motor doubtlessiy will be used in trans- ports of the future in its jet pro- nulsion form but in the immediate future the turbine prccellor motor will be more wldelv used because of its economy. a technical eXl-‘ert said
