Faulty Security . Delayed War End

B! ALAN RANDAI.

| (Canadian Press Staff Writer)

Had it. not been for security 80- mg wrong somewhere, or perhaps the Italians broke faith. the CHU- adlans would never have had those heart-breaking months of fight-ill! in Italy, writes O01. R.S. (Dick) Malone of Winnipeg.

' A former Canadian liaison of- ficer on the staff qt Field Mﬂrfihﬂl Montgomery. Col. Malone brnnﬂ! this out in his brook "Missing From

"The Record" (Collins) and say!

‘the plan was to use the 1st Canard-

ilan Division for “limited operations

ioniy" and then send all Canadians back to Join the First Canadian Army in England for the frontal attack on Europe.

The Italians sued for peace sev- eral days before the assault on Italy and the plan was that the Canadians and some British tr00l1$ attacking the toe of Italy would draw the Germans down there while the main assault by Americans went in later at Salerno for a thrust. across Italy to seal the Ger- mans off.

“Whether the German Intelli- gence was too good or whether the Italians broke faith and tipped the Germans off it is hard to say but the Germans knew that Rcggio was not. the main assault," ovrites Col. Malone.

. With the clement of surprise lost the Americans met much heavier ‘opposition at Salerno than was ex-

Fate! n1 Announcement

i l, As to the Second Front, Col. Ma- llone goes bad: to the first week of lScptember, in 1944. when the Al- llicd Communique carried an an- i nouncemant so small it escaped any great atention. but to the author it was one of the most fateful of the war. It was word that the great "Monty" had been let out of his‘ ‘job as Commander of all Allied- tland forces on the Western Front. l In “Missing 'I‘he Record?‘ .001. Malone holds that relieving ‘yllleld Marshal Montgomery of his over-all land command at that time ‘was. in effect, s, prolongation of the lwar which otherwise might well‘ ‘have been won before 1944 ended. , In the view of the author. the ‘reason for relieving Montgomery lwas that victory seemed not only assured but reasonably close and 5in Washington were those who did not want a British general in com- imand qt‘ all Allied armies when i surrender came.

‘TORONTO. Dec. 4 -"The change- over of Canada's business structure from the pursuits of -war to the ways of peace has. all things cori- sidered, gone forward well," said Mr. H.D Burns, President of the Bank of Nova Bcotia. at the one hundred and fifteenth annual| meeting of the Bunk today. pioymcnt in peacetime activities] has increased grcatly- in the late summer there were nearly 1,000,000 more people employed than before the war, Despite demobilization and the cancellation of war contracts. unemployment has been small."

"The flow of income has been well sustained . and Canadians this year are buying for their own consumption and use a larger volume of goods and services than ever be- fore. Production has been increas- ing despite industrial disputes and delays and a marked further ex- pansion in production is in the making which will soon be reach- ing the consumer provided that in- dusLrlal peace is maintained. Need- less to say this rather encouraging outlook is predicated upon an early settlement of the coal dispute in the United States. If that. dispute continues for long we face a diffi- cult winter in regard lo industrial fuel supplies and to production and employment in the durable goods industries."

economic picture. He pointed to the marked increase in bank loans and attributed it largely to the changeover from Government-tin- anced war production to peacetime pursuits.

“While many businesses and es- pecially some at the larger firms are still in a strong liquid position, I think that the butlook for com- mercial lending is reasonably good. Commercial loans have a very im- portant part to play in facilitating a widespread and healthy expan- sion in economic activity. Our Bank, like other banks. is in a position t0 extend credit over afwidel- field and for longer terms than was the case some time ago."

U. S. Structure Unstable

Willie this country cannot insul- ate ltself completely or permanent- ly from the United States and while “most pCOpIG would favour being rid of the controls just as soon as is feasible, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that thﬁll‘ OOmPIBIQ 1'9" moval. at the present time would be dangerous." The price structure of the United States shows few indications or stability and "does n01; appear to offer a sound basis fQf readjustment of Canadian prices."

If Canada were to Dem" I» 11'“ adjustment of her prises to those . now prevailing in the United States, "our prices would go up suddenly and might later come down sudden- ly as was the case after the first world war." A sharp upswmE i" pricu and costs followed by 8

downswing would be an even more. serious matter for Canada than for

pansion and development of small businesses.

The relation between the Gov- ernment's financial policies and the banks‘ holdings of investments was discussed at. some length Mr. Lnman. He expressed the hope that the Government would be able to reduce "its still heavy short-term bCYYQWITlE from the banks with a view to levelling off and pefhgpg even reducing the huge volume of bank deposits". While stable inter. est rates were desirable, he stressed that the Pressure qt surplus funds Sould have serious consequences.
