in large extra populations to carry on war work are shown by the ration book figures with big increases over the past year. The largest single jumps are in the Toronto and Montreal areas. including adjacent communities in the metropoli- tan districts. _ Other centres in the concentrated industrial areas of Quebec, Ontario and BritishColumbia are also reflected. Some of the bigger 1n- creases are in the ration districts of Hamilton. where many important war factories of thf heavy industrial class are located, 22.997; Chf‘ coutinti, in the labor supply area serving the big aluminum production centre in northeastern Quebec, 21,345; Quebec City area, serving muru- tions and other war plants, 18,271; Th!" Riv‘

erg, 5L1pplying shipbuilding and gun-production bee

plants, 13,151.

Out in British Columbia war industrial activ- ity has raised the population of Vancouver area by 14,904, to a total of 469,969; of Prince Ru- pert by 3.373 to 43,530. In contrast the lead- ing centres on the Prairies show substantial de- gline because of the iilCk 0i industrial iaCilififiS of any extent in these provinces and the draw- ing off of their populations for the armed forces and to work in war plants in other parts of the country.

The ration statistics credit HalifaX 8nd it! surrounding area. with an increase in population of 23,154 in the past year or so, raising its total population to 447,154. Sydney is credited with a 1.712 incrcztse, bringing its total population to 150.712. These are the only two Maritime cen- tres cited in the circular released for publica- tion by the \Vartime Prices and Trade Board, from which the above statements are taken. It “torrid be interesting to know how New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island have fared, and whether the decline noted in the Prairie centres has been repeated here.

An Honored Visitor

A distinguished visitor to Charlottetown to- day is the Hon. Victor Podoski, Polish Minister to Canada, whose address at the Prince of \Valcs College hall this evening should prove of much interest and inspiration. A native of the Uk- raine, Mr. Podoski attended school in \\'arsaw, but he W3! also a student in Glasgow and Lon- don, where he studied English, Economics and Political Science. In the last war he served with the Polish cavalry. He entered the diplomatic service in IVtlnnd after the war, and served in Moscow and Washington before his appoint- mcnt to Ottawa at the outbreak of the present war. First Consul General to Canada, he xvas raised to the appointment of Diplomatic Repres- entative to Canada and became the first Polish Minister to Canada when the Consulate became o. lcgation.

t- EDITORIAL NOTES-t

Physicians in Paris and Nantes has revolted against the Council of the National Ordcr 0f Doctors created by decree of Marshal Henri Phillippe Pctaiti, and resigned en masse from the order in protest against decisions disciplin- ing practitioners. Entire departmental groups having a total of more than 6,000 physicians —- more titan a fifth of the national order which Petain had intended to correspond to the legal ban-participated in the resignation.

Readers of American Notes and Queries, a little “journal for the curious,” have been delv- ing into the origin of the phrase "too little and too late." They have traced it back to May, 1935, when Allan Nevins, an American history pro-

fessor at Columbia, wrote in Current History 1n

magazine: “'l‘he former Allies had blundered in

the past by offering Germany too little, and of-

fering even that little too late, until finally Nazi

Germany had become a menace to all mankind." a m w a

Henry Fielding, English novelist and miscel- laneous writer, died this date, 1754; contempor- ary of Pitt and Fox at Eton; went on the stage and produced a number of plays; subsequently studied law, became a magistrate, and went on pension; started novel writing in 1742, and con- tinued until a couple of years before his death; beat known novels, "Pamela", "Joseph An- drews”, "Jonathan Wild the Great," "Tom Jones," and “Amelia"; his characters are always drawn with a masterly hand, and his style is bracing and vigorousx "Love and scandal are the best sweetness of tea.”

Hitler does not suit the role of prophet, and hot much attention need be paid to his promises last week. Here are extracts from the spcech— made by Hitler on Oct. 3 last yearx

"1 can make one statement today: Since June n everything has gone according to plan.

"Of the three army groups one has the task to take Leningrad, the second to break up the centre (Moscow) and the third t0 occupy the Uk- rains.

"I state this today, because only today I can say it: That this opponent has been broken and will never rise up again."

The consumer who finds his position difficult or otherwise unsatisfactory because of rationing regulations will have the right to go to a ration board about to be constitucd in his own com- mtmily. First he will see the secretary and re- cite his problem to that official who, with dc- tailed knowledge of the regulations, may be able to assist him immediately. If the secretary is unable to give sufficient assistance, the case may be carrictl before the Board proper, which will mect to dcal with such questions as often as is required. Officials said it is even possible that inquiries or protests sent to Ottawa headquart- crs of the Board from points throughout the countnv may bc referred back to local boards for thcir consideration. An effort will be made to have the city clerk or local municipal secretary available for conference with consumers during regular office hours, with the possibility that some arrnvigctticitt might have t0 he made t0 pny him for his scrvicc—-although the present pliln calls for municipalities to contribute the part-time scrvicc- of some official for this work. .’\ travelling officer of the Prices Board will mniiituivt contact with fhc local lmarrls and atl- \i~<- lilvlll on lllItll('l'S about which thcy are in

One of the "surprise weapons" used by the maritime regiments at sea against attacking enemy alr- craft is the rcckeli apparatus car- ried by defensively armed mer- chant ships These rocket-st are one of the weapons most dreaded by the Luftwaffe. They carry up to the air long wires supported by parachutes, sq that they remain in position for an appreciable time, and the met-hcd of using them is to time and place their discharge so that one attacking bomber must either swerve away from his bombing position or be- who entangled with the wires and ‘ibpmdestroyed by them. -‘Llondon

Sir-r l would like to reply lo e. letter you published cnnoemfng the bOYS Over here marrying while in this country. Fdrstly, the nuslri- formed “Ge; Wise Girls" seem to believe that the girls over here are simply "grabbing off Canadians" lLs they would bargains over a salescounter. One would think that. our boys have no initiative or power lo resist. Would the boys them. selves not. have somethlnc to say In this matter? Secondly, con. comma the Canadian Government fittlm a ban on the boys marry-

g. Have the lads mot volun- teered their oer-vices for Canada, giving their “evcry9hlng" for the cause of freedom? Why then have a few narrow-minded people f-n Canada ridiculed them? I would say, ff the boys over here thought enough of Canada to tzlve their lives for her. why should the gov- ernment deny tltem the one hali- plneas. the mm important strip tn life?
