The opening concert of the sea- son under Community Concert As- sociation auspices was given before a very appreciative audience in Prince of Wales College hail last evening. the artist being the noted Hungarian pianist and composer, Mr. Emo Balogh.

To Chopin lovers in particular- and their name is legion-the eve- ning was one of rare enjoyment. Mr. Balogh played no fewer than six oi the great Polish master's works, including the thundering Polonaise in A Flat Major, which his brilliant technique found full scope for expression. He re- vealed, too, new gllmpes of loveli- ness and delicacy in the popular noctume and waltz numbers. Equally impressive was his per- formance of the Moonlight Sonata. particularly of the first; move- ment. and the passionate finale.

Good Progress Seen In Gearing Canada To War Effort.

OTTAWA, Dec. l —(CP) —After two months in Canada with a. large staff of the technicians and experts, Col. J. H. M. Greenley, head of the British supply board, said toni ht he was well satisfied with the n- dustrial capacity of Canada. Substantial orders will be placed shortly by the operating through the Canadian war supply board of which Wallace Campeil is chairman. Col. Greenley just returned from an eight-day trip during which he inspected some Cans l industries, visited the New York office of the British sutplply board under direct- ion of Ar Lil‘ Purvls Montreal in- dustrialist, and called br-efly at the British embassy in Washington. Because of the great amount of detail involved in gearing Canadian indiustry to a type of manufacture for which they were not prepared, it has taken some time to arrange

for the letting of contract-s.

to date has not been such that there has been any IBM. consump- tion of munitions an this has made it possible for careful and detailed negotiations with those manufactur- tn firms which are to equip them- se ves for war work.

Cooperative Basis

Purchase of munitions and sup- plles for the British government will be on a. sort of co-operative basis with the British board, the Canadian war supply board and the manufacturer working together.

In many if not all cases the man- ufacturing plant will require spec- ial machinery and will be helping to finance its purchase. Contracts wt-ll be of a nature that investments in plant by the purchaser will be amortized.

The new Premier, 50-year- old Risto Ryti, President of
