“But why is it being given at all? What war purpose is being served? Let's have an answer, for if fur buyers are being given concessions why should not everybody else get concessions too, and why should we not let the war go hang? This is the question that is being asked, and the answer would be interesting and important."

Agriculture hliiiistcr Gardiner has told thc Alberta farmers that an order-in-council dc- signcd to provide Eastern farmers with cheaper feeds is iii the hands of the government. “If that is so," says the Halifax Chronicle, “then the government should stop fumbling and act with the greatest promptiiess.”

Reduction in thc cost of feeds would be a rc- licf and is long ovcrtluc. But tlic farmers would still have reforms to seek. TllCTC are other bur- deusouic charges and tlierc is the disappointing trcud 0f priccs, especially the price of butter which tlic guvcriiiuciit has seen fit to peg. “Until conditions arc vastly improved,” cou- cludcs our lfzllifax Liberal contemporary, “farmers wiU cast a jaundiced cye on every pro- posal to iucrczisc production as pzirt of tlic war effort. For iiizuiy of tbcni, increased produc- tion would mcziu hastening the jotiriicy to tlic pour house."

Readers of the Des Monies (Iowa) Tribune had a dramatic lesson the other (lav in what establishment of Hitler's "New Order" iii tlie world could. mean to freedom cu ‘this con- tiiieiit.

Tile Tribune prinicd its editorial page as though tlic Gestapo uiere peering over tlic editorial shoulder, mid the result was startling. There were many blank spaces, tlic cartoon had been blacked out, and the Tribune's columnists were heav- l.v censored. Au editorial. in the style Hitler would love. spoke of rac- ial pride and the destiny oi the State. commended the final disap- pearance of democracy. There were printed also the first decrees of tlie imaginary new regime. dissolving all labor unions, establishing gov- ernment control of profits and
