ington speak: more eloquently for the Common- wealth than any other man with the possible exception of Mr. Churchill. For these and oth- er reasons, Canada's reputation is high in Bri- tain. While Americans were merely listening 1Q the political arguments spilling over the com- mon bordcr, the British were witnessing the re- lultl of Canada's war effort. Here they could see the men and machines arriving from Can- ada's homes and factories. They were eating Canadian food and cheering Canadian achicve- ment in the air over the Channel. Here in Bri- tain one hears no discussion of Canada's politi- cal problems except in purely Canadian circles. The conscription problem has not been mention- ed to me by a Britisher. Here our war effort is vastly appreciated. And since Dicppe, “the Can- adians" are spoken of with the same proud pas- sion in which the R.A.F. is held in America. In the fine manner characteristic of them, the Bri- tish appear to be oblivious of Canada's infernal political problems. The appearance and pcr- formance of Canadians here have entrenched our position n senior Dominion of the Common- wealth.

United Church general council officers and superintendents of missions have refused to ac- cept a. five per cent cost of living bonus 0n tlic grounds that the ministry is a brotherhood and the officers desire t0 share with all ministers the exactions and sacrifices of these difficult days. The motion recommending the bonus W115 un- animously passed but Dr. Gordon A. Sis-co of Toronto, general council Secretary, zi>kcd the council to reconsider its proposal without dcbzilc. "Officers of the church should share difficul- ties with the ministers," he said.

Before the war, farmers had no objection to people going into the ficlds, "gleaning," but it has been made clczir that in wartime the practice 0f gleaming was illegal w-hcn two people were fined for tres- passing in grain fields and stealing oats. De- claring that problems of the land could llllllllll- ate the greatest scientists, the official said that the Ministry of Agriculture carried out 125.000 separate analysis last year.

There are two sides to every question, and the American Federation of hlusicians have just advanced in New York Tiincs the why and wherefor of their opposition to the wholesale use of "canned" music on the radio. They point out that only 35 per cent of the member- ship in steadily employed. "Do you know that 95 per cent of the music heard in the U. S. and Canada is ‘canncd'," copy reads. The ad further states that there is an average of only 7 minutes of each 24 hours of radio time given to live music. "Hundreds of millions in ad- vertising income is received by radio stations from the sale of canned music in (‘UlIIlIl(‘l'ClIll programmes. This huge total is (l('l'IV(‘(l from the records which the IIIOIOS<IIIIIZII musicians create. Hut the total income rcccivcrl by the musicians who make this profitable radio in- dustry possible approximates an insignificant fractinn of this total. As the number of sla- tions increases, the employment of living musi- cians in this field is actually decreasing.”
