Farms Are Food Factories

Z\l.'tn_v oi our zigricultural troubles in this war, says lllt‘ hiiiaiicial lbst, arc traced to thc filsl that franicrs of (lttziiva rcgtilzitittns zipparcllll)’. have failt-d to rcziiizc that tlic Caiiatlian farm is pyinnll-ily n 1-1|([ii1'_\‘ for thc prntltictitni of itind. :\s with any otlici" f: "tory, a stippbv 0f labor. tools and raw iiiatcrials is ill)\lllllll‘l_\' iicccssziry if tiiaxinititn output l: to be iiiaiiiiaiiicd.

his lllIlC;llllCl‘_\' and other absolutclv vital stip- plies like lumber, l('l'llll7Cl, conccutraieil fvctl» and fencing, wcrc rigidly curbed. Under tlic circumstances, it is remarkable that lie was alilc to incrvzisc production of meats. dairy and poul-

of a miracle if lic can niziiiitain tiutput this sca- son.

Up-to-date farm machinery; lumbcr for rc- pairing barns, littiltlinjg ling pens and potiltry houses, fences for lzciping stock out of grmv- ing crops, special f€('<l>, wzilizcrs and a bust of other flgflClllIIlf-‘ll suppl. ., as wcll as skillcd la- bor are just as e-"sciitial in food production as lathcs, drills, and wclrling machines in niuiiition

making. True there can be waste of these supplies, on a farm and in a nnniiti >n factory; and cvery cf-

fort must be niadc to guard against it. It is also true that we tit-rd certain foods more ur- gently than others and dcvclopniciit must be steered accoi-ditiqly. But sweeping, blanket reg- ulations. instcatl of correcting such situations, very often aggravate tlic-m. Canadian farmers are being asked to produce prodigious quaiititics of vital fnotls this season. They can only do so if they gct tlic necessary tools, and on time.

The Great Push

Major George Fielding liliot, the military cri- tic of the New York 'l‘ril>tine has no doubt the coming Great I‘ush will be made through France

he writes, and you will see how this restricts thc possibilities open to us. “l: can land in Grecce, for example, only if we have previously reduced Crete and some of thc Aegean Islands. ,We can land in Italy only if we have previously reduced Sicily and Sardinia, and perhaps Corsica. But to land in either place would mean that in order to get at the vitals of Germany we would still have to penetratc the great mountain wall which protects Germany on the lotitli. A land in; in Norway would be largely dependent on carrier-based aviation, though some support might be given from Russian bases. It boils down to this: Sooner or later, when we are real- ly ready to leek a. decision in this war, we shall have to land an Anglo-American army on the western shore of Europe at a point where we can give the landing adequate air support from the only base available to u: for that purpose-the inland of Great Britain. This will be a. tremen- dously costly and bloody operation. But we |hall have to face it and g0 through with it if we are going to win the war. Whatever the cost, the sooner we can accomplish this purpose, the ' looner we are going to bring the war to an end.

Wartime Employment

In Britain, over this Easter, all war workers were given a three-day holiday. Such a holiday would not have bccn thought 0f a ycar ago. Conditions have cliaiigctl.

They liavc chaugcrl iii Canada, too. \\'e have now reached tlic point whcre production in cer- tain [h1g5 is no lmigei- vital, with the consequence that tlic ncxt fcw months may sce a grcat dcal 0f readjustment in war work, plus the possibil- ity 0f sonic temporary tincmplqvmcnt. \\’orkcrs who go out on strilcc now rim thc risk 0f having to rcpciit 0i lll('ll' folly at leisure.
