but if so there is no reason why it should so operate now. A more important consideration may be that Canadian divisions already overseas are doing none of the fighting, although troops froru other Dominions are. It must be assumed that there is a good military reason for the con- tinued presence of Canada's troops in England and that a satisfactory answer of some sort can be tirade to the questions which puzzled Cana- dians are asking repeatedly in this regard. No constitutional reason will be accepted but there is doubtless another and a better one which, for good and sound reasons, is being withheld.

A new type of bread developed by Agriculture Department cereal experts with the aim of in- creasing the vitamin Bcontent of white loaves has been delivered ‘to too Ottawa homes in a test distribution. The test is under direction of ‘Dr. L. H. Newman of the cereal division, Cen- tral Experimental Farm. Housewives who re- ceived the loaves are being asked to give their opinions as to the bread's color, texture, taste and general acceptability. The new loaf was describ- ed by Dr. Newman as similar in appearance and flavor to ordinary white bread, but he said special milling methods left more vitamin B rn the flour than normal milling procedure.

The nearest approach to Churchill among British Prime Ministers who earned money and fame by writing is Disraeli, says New York Times. His novels preceded his political career. They are political in content, but that is obvious- ly no argument against them today, when we itr- stst on literature of social significance. After Beaconsfield and Winston Churchill the third bookish Premier, on the score of performance, would be Arthur James Balfour, with his inter- ests in the field of philosophy, George Canning wrote light verse and Gladstone wrote two books 0" H001". but thcse ryer: vacation activities.

With Canadian exports to the United States remaining fairly steady at $35r000,ooo or $40,- 000,000 a month, the tourist trade falling off and American exports to Canada jumping to $80,- 000,000 a month or higher, it is clear the Can- adian Government might have a deficit on American account running as high as $300,000,- 000 or even $400,000,000 at the end of the crlr- rcut fiscal year. It is to handle this deficit that exploratory negotiations have been opened at “fasltitrgtou. Although the Canadian Government is having no difficulties at the moment, one of the suggestions being considered is that Canad- ian factories be used to process armaments for the United States Government and thereby ac- cumulate American dollars. The suggestion of devclnpitrg the defence programs of Canada and the Yuited States on a continental basis [irobably would be the most difficult to arrange, but it also might be the most satisfactory plan of all. Catradian factories are producing tnany defence articles which, it might be easy to demostrate, could be rtsed with equal ease by the Canadian ‘British and American forces. It might be pos- siblc to show that these factories could increase their production, in order to handle American orders, faster than new factories could be built irt the United Slates and therefore should be used in the rapidly expanding American defence pro- gramv I

In England at the present time all ordinary bulldarg ts suspendxd. Practically the only houses being constructed are those needed for war workers and agrzcultumi workers who have moved to places where no houses are available. A bulletin has been issued by the British Stationary Office this week whish shows how building des gn ls being modified ln these new houses as s result of the experience gained from the alr raids. The most conspicuous of the changes ls that the sloping root of slates or tiles, supper-led by timber rafters, has been abandoned in fovor of a concrete roof which is flat, or nearly lint. The concrete roof ts lh ck enough to withstand an ru- cendlary bznrb. Interzor llozrs are also 0f concrete, and are covlred with fireproof materials. Tire use of wood internally is reduced to a minimum lo lessen the danger of fire. Such fittings as w.ndow frames and sills, door frames, and picture rails are mrule of flreprsof materials. In addition to the dim nslrcd fire peril, the new materials are more hygienic and less ccstly of upkcop than tirrrber. Each house has one blast-proof‘ room with only a small, high w.n- dow, and has strengthened walls and a strengthened rocf. This provides practically ‘the saute de- gree of safety as a surface shelter. -Dublin Irxsh Independent.

This last. point ls of more im- portance than may appear on the surface. The Germans, as has often been pointed out. ere able to keep n largo British army immobile in Britain by merely continuing to threaten invasion.

But the Allies of Britain, by dir- acting and nourishing anti-German activities, are also holdl vast numbers of German tr O- bile. The Nazis do not are r8101! their vigilance or diminish the number of their troops in the s0- ealleti captured countries.

Count on Ultimate Effects

The British count on this es:- tension of the German army Mid administration systems to produce very bad effects as time runs, be- cause, as the British believe Ger- many tong ago exhausted its supply of men who were both first-class administrators and wholehenrted Nazis.

The entire Nazi organization ls regarded as a predatory group banded together to live on plunder. Its most effective members would be those who realized that their best chance for continued enrich- ment, lays in their continued royalty to their organization and to one another. "

By now, thefiritlsh believe. the Nazis have run out of such men, and are being compelled to emDlOY. in responsible and dtrlllillle Work- men of lesser loyalty. In Shim. the British feel that Hitler is now at the perm where he has to 311ml“ important duties to the plain. ord- inary crooks among his com? 5°11? OWCTS. ,, _

Consequently they are confldehf» that the burden of sovemlnr-the occupied lands will become speedily’ geeter. Meanwhile, all possible op- portunities to complicate the 10b are being carefully exploited, with British help, by the German-held nations.

In the case of the Norwegians. for example, there has been almost continuous sabota e ever since the country shook of the, first shock of the German conquest. Until re‘- latlvely recently, this anti-Nazi acti-_ vity we; tire result of the opera- tions of unorganized patriots, work- 111g almost; always as individuals or at most in ve‘y small groups.

Now, however, this constant hurrying of. the Germans is b91118 closely organized and correlated from London, Because -of the n8- ture of the Norwegian coast. ll. l8 not particularly difficult to set agents ashore, or to bring them back again. t

Protected by Villager!

The Nazis know that this activity i5 in progress but have not been able to check it because the agents are so closely protecled and covered up by their fellow countrymen. Not cven the imposition of fines find other punishments on whole vil- lages has enabled the Germans to keep the’ system from expanding-
