Vichy’s threat Serious problem For Britain

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer

Britain is confronted by a serious problem in weighing the real Agni- ncance of Vichys threat to use the French navy to convoy food ships to unoccupied France through the British blockade.

Indications are that London con- strues the French 11love as uue Dri- niarilv ‘to Nazi pressure. Although tlﬂllllbllllﬂ that it would be “ank- ward" for Britain if she had to deal Wllll French blockade running sim- ultancouslv with a stepped-up Ger- man attack on British shipping, London snowed no sign of changing the stern policy of complete book-

London cables point out that the British fleet in the Mediterranean has all along permitted some French food ships to move from French Africa i to continental French Dorks. If London could be convinced that the French threat is not in fact an element of Nazi strategy and of Franco-Gennan

the strain on the British navy at a supremely critical time, there might be room for a compromise.

There appears to be suspicion in London that recent ﬁance-German oonverstaions have centred on a Nazi effort to force the Vlohv re- gime into just: the attitude lt. has now taken.

FANM PRODUCTS EXPORT

The situation with respect to the marketing of Canadian agric- ultural products in Great Britain is gradually becoming clariﬁed with the progress of the war. states the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions ln Canada. whllc Great Britain remains the only import- ant purchaser of Canadian sur- plus agricultural commodities, her war policy noes imported food- stuffs deﬁnitely as supplements to complete the supplies of food of- ficially considered as necessary. It ls. therefore, only possible to ex-

taln the commodities British Government concedes to have a place In the general wnr, program. All import- ntlons of foodstuffs are controlled both as to volume and price to en- sure a uniform and sufficient sup- ply of essentials for the whole notion, and to llmlt these importa- tlons to such an objective.

Passing out of the shadow Into eternal day

Why do we call it dyinll This sweet going away.

On Saturday, February 15th. 1941. there passed suddenly yet peace- tullv to his reward in that land where sorrows and parting: are un- known Edwaro nenuerson BL, in his 80th year. he had been in ht. usual health and able to attend ho his duties on the farm until only a few days before his death when he was stricken with a_ fatal iilness and des. pit/e best medical skill and tender nursing he obeyed the Master's sum- mons to come up higher and on the above date his spirit winged its flight to realms of eternal day.

Mr. I-lendeixon was a son of the late Thomas and Mary (Dixon) i I-Iexiderson the youngest member of a farmly of eleven of whom o one sister survives, Mrs. James ay. Allston, Muss.

A man of more than ordinary ln- tellaieiicc and possessed of an ex- ceptionally cheerful and optimistic, disposition he was always slvlng a helping hand to others in times of distress or adversity, the Golden! Rule was exempliﬁed daily In his walk and conversation. In his home friend and stranger alike shared his lIOSDllZIllLV so lils going leaves a rotd in the community. which can- not eiisily fill-ed. He was ever a faithful attendant and supporter of the Murrav Harbor Nort Presby- terian Church. 4 Besides attending to his dutle: on the form he wns4an accomplished Carpenter and until the fast year or. two every Spring founq him busily, engaged building boats for flsther-I men. Into this phase of his work as in everything else he gave of his best ever proving himself a. master workman. lvlr. Henderson was twice married In Septembeixltltlt? he married Alexia Ros of New London. she was called home in November 1913, To this union was born two daughters. Twenty-two years ago he was united in marriage to Ivfrs. Melinda. Mlllar who is left to mourn with his daugh- ters, Mrs. Jame; Graham and Mrs. Hal-iv Reid.

Clothes For a Whole People

MANCHESTER. March, ll -Lan- cashire ls now steadily fulfilling the cotton orders ivhlch have been coming in from the Dutch East In- dies following the visit to Javo of the representative of the Cotton Board.

When the Nazis seized the cotton mills of Holland, it was evident that the people of the Dutch East Indies would have to make new arrange- ments to meet their clothing re- quirrriieiits.

Quite apart from a huge trade in colour-ivoven sarongs. Holland used to send to Java and the Out- er Islands something like 175,000,- 000 yards of cotton piece-goods cv- ery year. or as much as the large trade which Lancashire already does with Australia and New Zea-

land.

Native production could not cope with it: nor, for several reasons. could the existing trade with Ja- pan be extended.

Lnncashire has therefore stepped into the breach. Prices have been cut to the bone. Backed by the British Government, purchases are being arranged of lar quantities of native produce. an exports to t-‘tc Dutch East Indies are willing- 1y being preferred to the demands of Britain's hcme trade.

In Lancnshlre there is virtually no damage to production and losses M. sea are comparatively small.

Lancashlre is, therefore. doing oll that. can be done to flll the gap.
