Faulty Comparisons i

lots of amateur strategists are contrdsting he speed of the Russian offensive in the east with the slow progress of ours in the west. Any such comparison, says‘ a London corresponde t, betrays complete ignorance of vital facts. Whbn it comes to hustle, nothing in this war yet c0 - pares with the 8th Army-‘s long and astonisi- ingly rapid desert campaign. But the circurh- stances both in Italy and Normandy are entire- ly different.

The Russians. by the very extent of theii‘ front, have ample llllilltlL‘\l\‘l'C room, and can compel the (icruuius to thin out their defencrl lines, so that weal," spots are bound to occur. Sd far in Normandy we have had neither elbow) room, nor, until quite recently, adequate troops to exploit it if we had. The fighting front is still narrow enough to enable the forces available to Itommcl in hold it in strength. Until we have built up superior strength, both in men ind equipment, and obtained room to deploy them Q1 make the enemy thin otit, our oppor- tunity for a quick- offensive advance will not Iccur.

The terrain over which the Red Armies ue now stream/lug is ideal for such operations. Neither in Noruitintly nor Italy have we an easy country to fight through. But the arm- chair critics had bcttt-r reserve judgment until "I\Iont_\"' gives the signal for zero hour. He likes to make sure before acting, but, when he in ready, he wastes no time.

Clergymen In Politics

Discussing the retirement of an Anglican clergyman from the New Brunswick provin- cial election contest at the behest of his Bishop, who has taken the stand the clergymen of his diocese cannot become candidates for political office while continuing to serve as priests of the church, the Windsor Star says:

"A grave principle ls involved here. Tho Bishop appears to be taking the attitude that. there ls something shameful or degrading about politics. There should not. be. In fact, lt is the business oi Government, and thus should be n most honorable calling. But. when organ-

-lud religion officially takes the stand that such activity is incompatible with Christianity, there is little wonder that politics falls into un- deserved disrepute. Many izwd and respect- able men will hesitate to offer themselves as candidates, when they know the church has labeled such action unworthy."

The Moncton Transcript, in a more in- formed judgment, suggests that the Qritario paper has misinterpretctl the Bishop entirely. There was nothing in his statement to indicate n belief that political activity is incompatible with Christianity. But there is 1 great differ- ence between the position of a layman and that of n clergyman whose life has been dedicated to the spiritual guidance of those entrusted to his care. It is unbecoming to say the least for n clergyman to use the place which he holds in the confidence of the peoplfi. f0 560k to influence them in their choice between poli- tiesl parties.

Accidents On The Farm

According to an exchange, the ratio of preventable accidents in agriculture is higher than in any other industry. Many hundreds of farmers, members of their families and work- ers on farms are killed and many thousands in- jured every year in Canada as the result 0f ac- cidents, most of which could have been prevent- t ed With the farm labor shortage just now so ncute and when all our production of food is so essential to the ivar effort. the accident toll is particularly serious. _ '

A survey has disclosed that machinery is the chief source of farm work accidents; that live stock rims a close second and that falls lre in third place. The wise farmer is ‘he who learning the cause of accidents on his farm takes steps t0 eliminate such causes and all pos- sible hazards. Iior example, the fact that 10050 clothing causes one-third of all farm accidents Evolving machinery should make anyone avoid

Australian Referendum

Australia, a Federal union like Canada, is grappling now with the same conflict betweflfl Federal and State authority which has long been under way in Canada. Where Canada has sought to end this conflict by some such‘ formula ns the Rowell-Sirois Report. Australia is in the process of asking the electors to vote directly on changes in its constitution. The referendum is to bc held on August it). The Labour Gov- ernment led by Prime Minister John Ciirtin is “king the people to m-apt the Comiiitmivealth, for n probationary period of five years after the war, fourtccn additional constitutional pow- ers, which it declares essential to enable the Government to reorganize Australia for peace. These powers are supplemented by three con- ltitutional guarantees, and are submitted in one question, with the result that the electors must accept or reject the lot. _ _

Power is sought tn effect the repatriation of servicemen and to deal with employment and unemployment; organized marketing of com- modities: companies. through a uniform com- pany law, trusts, combines and monopolies; profiteering and prices; production and distri- bminn of goods; nvt-rst-zis exchange; invest- meat and borrowing: air transport, uniform- ity of railway gauges. family allmvanccs and the welfare of the Australian aborigines,

The Commonwealth Government by’ this referendum is appealing to the people for pow- ers which a majority of the states have ready refused to surrender. Its case is that to avoid widespread unemployment, inflation and profiteering after the war — in short the com- plete collapse of the national economy -—- nat- ional planning is essential and that this involves

a continuance of wartime controls.

The Government has appended three consti- tutional guarantees: abridging freedom of speech and expression; second, guaranteeing freedom of religion und- er state laws as presently wealth law; third, ensuring that regulations pro- mulgated under Commonwealth law shall be submitted to the scrutiny of parliament.
