Here is a striking example. When some New York papers were recently guessing about ‘tlic form gas rationing would take in the United States they had only one place in New York t0 ask about Canada's system-the office of The Canadian Press. The CP files were made avail- able. but that was not the kind of help that an Information Bureau could offer, In consequence it is a safe bet that not one in a hundred Ameri- cans know that Canadians have long since been on gas rationing. They are probably more fami- liar with the anything-hut-creditable fact that we have been engaged for months in an academic argument over the pros and cons of conscription.

Educationists from 19 allied countries, in- cluding many now under the domination of the Nazis, attended a two-day conference in London, organized by the New Education Fellowship. The conference adopted a children’s charter as .1 statement of the basic and minimum rights of all children, above considerations of sex, race, nationality, creed, or social position. The charters six points include the following: The right of every child to proper food, clothing, and shelter shall be a first charge on the nation's re- sources; there shall always be available medical attention and treatment for all, equal opportuni- ties, and full-time schooling for all; and religious training available f0: all childien.

All distributors of dairy products in the region of Montreal and Quebec must obtain permits from the Dairy Commission, according to a new regulation of the Commission. Any person who makes delivery of milk or of other dairy pro- ducts for himself or distributor, must carry a delivery book in which he must enter daily the iiampewaritj addresses of each client, the list of products sold, as well as the quantity, and the price of each product. He must also mention whether the sale was for cash or credit. Auv inspector may inspect this book at any time, and take notes from it. and also have the right to accompany the distributor on his rounds, and take place in his vehicle.
