The British Farm Front

Due to extreme necessity arising from the Cttllllllllfll reduction of shipping space for bring- ing Mal supplies from abroad, the farmers of Illtktl llrilztin are asked this year to again in- crLat-e their efforts ztud produce 75 per cent of the iootl required. More acreage will be cul- ll\£lf('4l nntl crops will be produced that will (l0 ittost tn sure shipping space, such as wheat, bar- icy. stiqnr lwcts, potatoes.

lu spite of a shortage 0f fartn labor, the farm- ers of llritztin have steadily increased produc- tiOn. T he increase last year, it is stated, releas- eti snooooo tons of shipping for other purposes of tltt- wnr. 'l‘ltat iticreasc will be exceeded this year, it is hopctl, and the objective set for next year is 8o per cent of Britain’s food supply, be- cause of the worsening situation in regard to shipping.

'l‘h<- farmers there, like the fighting men, feel tltt-ir 1'(‘~’]Itt1l5ll)llll_\' anti are doing their utmost. The greater their efforts and the larger their production, the more shipping space can be spar- ed to carry troops, equipment and supplies to the various places where the Allied forces are engage-ti in the critical world conflict.

Germa n Morale Drops

News reaching the Allied world through Swe- den and Turkey indicates a marked lowering of German morale because of the reverses in Rus- sia, says the ‘Montreal Star. There have been intimations. too, that recent Nazi orders further curtailing food rations have brought home their plight to the German people. Reinforcement of these views comes from l. Chilean military at- tache, Col. Osvaldo Valencia, who has made two visits to Berlin and left it only recently:

“On my second visit," Col. Valencia says, “the public morale was much lower, but the greatelt pains were being taken to prevent sol- diers from learning of the true state of affairs in the rear." This keeping of the truth about military reverses from the people and condi- tions at home from the troops has become a set- tled policy with the Nazis. Only within the last week have they changed tactics-why, it is impossible to judge-and told the masses the partial truth about Eastern front reverses. Not

ct have they told the whole truth about losses before Stalingrad and in the Caucasus, but for the first time since the war began the people are securing infomtatiott on which to form an opinion of their own about the conduct of the w‘: and the efficiency of their leaders."

Col. Valencia also says that the civilian pop- ulation is becoming more restive under bombing. They were usured from the beginning that no British bombs would tou& them, but Cologne, Iceberg, Eucn, Bremen and, more recently, Insist, have taught than flu folly of relying on _ s pledges, and their disillusionment must hc-v-lmbly be occcmpenild by n. lowering of

Future 0f Aviation

Bell, dinctor-gsncrsl of aircraft production, Department of Munitions and Supply, after télling of the crucial pert being phycd by Canadian airmen and Canadian-built aircraft in the war, predicted that aviation would become one of the Dominion’! greatest indus- tries, "for which a commercial post-war future can reasonably be visualised." He explained that the buic raw materials, the modern facilities and the skilled labour were available to meet all dc- mcndl, the only thing lacking being "the adop- tion of s policy calculated to establish permanent- ly this industry, and the constructive imagina- tion and leadership to guide it through the im- mediate post-war period."

The much-discussed program of Governor Stasscn, of Minnesota, contains s special re- ference to the development of international aviation services hy the United Nations, with l system of air rotttes and stations, run for the benefit of s11. His ides. of s Parliament of the free peoples, to be set up after the Axis has been disposed of, contemplates a combined air. sea and land constabulary to make eure that the peace of the world shall not again be IO ruth- lessly violated.

The German general staff has prepared "ef- ficiently and carefully" for the possibility that Germany will lose the war, with the object of winning the peace, Mr. Eric L. F. Archdeacon of New York, consultant to the geopolitical sec- tion of the United States War Department Gen- eral Staff, told the Canadian Club in Montreal. Speaking on the “non-military activities of the German general staff," Mr. Archdeacon said that the staff was not only a military body but a national institution which, in combination with the German High Command, wields “all decisive political power on a long-term basis."

As we now rapidly advance socially and pol‘- itically precedents are being created and records set at which posterity must marvel. Lct us try to imagine what our ancestors would have thought had they been told their Member of Parliament was abscnt from the House because he was about to become a father! Yet today a member of the British House announces her forthcoming absence because she is about to become a mother. Mrs. Paul Wright, who suc- ceeded het- first husband, Flt-Lt. R. Rath- bone, as a Conservative member in the House of Commons, announces that she is going to have s. baby. The birth of this child will accredit Mrs. Wright as being the first woman in history to become a mother while a member of Parliament, where she represents Bodmin in Cornwall. Mrs. Wright, 32, is the wife of Captain Paul Wright,

Major Gladstone Murray's resignation from the C.B.C. management department draws atten- tion to the fact there will b: another probe of C.B.C. this session by n. special committee of the House cf Commonqthc policies and administra- tion cf the corporation again being the subjects of inquiry. Mr. Graydon has already queried the Prime Minister about naming to the Board of Governors representatives of agriculture and of labor. Premier King said the government wne giving the matter serious thought. It is clear, however, that the new set-up in C.B.C. will be closely scrutinized by the committee. Mr. Graydon was particularly critical of the Board of Governors for having appointed one of its own members, Rev. Dr. j. S. Thomson, as gen- eral manager, and other members of the com- mittec are expected to again raise the question of the anomalies that arise over the theory that C.B.C. must be insulated from political or other interference. One result of all this is that this body, likgecmc others, appears to be averse to being answerable to parliament.

The startling fact is, says an Ottawa corres- pondent, that with a world-engulfing war rag- ing and the civilian population being subjected to increasing restrictions on the top of s tidal wave of taxation and bond buying, there is either a shocking administrative neglect to more closely scrutinize and prune expense accounts, or s more alarming toleration of this practice than is good in the public interest. A glance at the order paper of the House shows that Commoncrs are turning their attention more to ‘expense accounts than to appointments, more

to what a man docs after he gets the job than how he gets it. There is a long list of queries ,from Mr. A. C. Casselman, Opposition Whip Ion the personnel and cost 0f the Wartime In-

P. E. I. Car Ferry Service

(Sydney Post Record)

The Charlottetown Bcurd of ‘Trade has become tired of waiting for rtion by uttawu tucking tu .. sect.'.i of a new cur ferry to 1.- placu t e palatial ship “Charlotte- town." sunk two _ve:irs ago while en route to dry dock for repairs. Since that time, the scrncc to P. E. 1. has been carried on by a much smaller ferry. the "Prince Ei- ward Island", which cannot be ex- pected to furnish the service to which the Island rs are entitled to and have become 11621111011811 to. And should the present: fcrrv be- come disabled, the Island would 1n- deed become stranded.

The necessity of a nzw P. E. I. car ferry has frequently been ress- ed upon the Ottawa authorlt es 1n the past two years. and al hough there are obvious difficultk- 1n the way of securing a new ship of this type in these days. something should be done to provide Prince Edward Island with a better service.
