At the outbreak of war, Britain had 25,000 tractors for agricultural work; today there are 125,000 in use.

a a u n-

Vcgetable production in Britain has been rais-

ed from the pre-ivar figure of 2,500,000 tons t0 4,000,000 tons.

They are felling, cross-cutting. working at sawmills and driving tractors and lorries. D I l I More than 1,300 acres of Romney (East Sus- sex) marshland-most of which has not been tinder the plough since the Napoleonic Wars- are today producing tons of grain, potatoes and sugar beet.

Bureaucracy naved the way for autocracy and regimentation. Mr. R. Asheton, Financial Sec- rctary to the U.K. Treasury, said recently in London that "unless we are very careful, the state may take too much upon itself, and give the impression that it is able to plan much more than is possible. There will be a great risk that some of the state plans will throttle enterprise" He pointed out that we did not want to win a victory over state despotism, and find that we were mov- ing towards the "servile state." He said that per- manent employment could easily be obtained in the servile state-but could scarcely picture Brit- ain permanently having a system under which the state would tell every man and woman where they should work. A few more remarks of this kind, from our leading civil servants at Ottawa, in place of some 0f the things which they have been saying, will do us good here.

Elected to reply on behalf of Australia—and a public vote would probably endorse the selec- tion overwhelmingly-is L. \V. Brockington, K.C., British-born Canadian who recently went at the behest of the B.B.C. to cast an experi- enced eye over the ground and to tell of what he saw. Here is part of what he said, according to the Australian Newsletter: "I spent a. day at a. naval depot, where in surroundings at once peaceful and warlike, at once beautiful and grim, there is centred in one place as I believe no- where else in the world every branch of naval training and activity. I saw boys from the deep countryside in their earliest ’teens, whose hearts and minds had been turned, by some ancestral impulse, to our navics, that will yet set a ring of impregnable steel around the islands of Ia- pan. Some of those boys were the little sons of famous Australian captains who went down with their brave ships in far away seas. I was allowed to hear stories from the lips of many seamen, gunners and stokers, who had been in Crete, in Greece, at Tobruk, at Dakar, at Mata- pan, at the sinking of the Bismarck, in the Coral Sea, at Guadalcanal, in Norway, in Java, with the Prince of Wales and Repulse, at New Guinea, at Malta, men of the Canberra, the Sydney and that little sister ship of Sir Richard Grenville’s Revenge, His Majesty's Australian sloop Yarra, and dozens of other vessels, great and small, that have been freighted with our hopes and our honor. Did vou notice the length and variety of that list? I venture to say that in no country in the world, with the possible exception of Britain herself, could you find men who have fought for freedom in so many places. It open- ed my Canaclian eyes in wonder and admiration."

Mr. Kings explanation of post-War interna- tional relations should not be taken too seriously, says The Letter Review. It docs not represent a policy worked out by the United Nations, nor ci policy discussed and accepted by the Cabinet at Ottawa. It i: merely a. nice description of the as- pirations of the bright young pinkos. “Function- al Control" merely means that the Civil Service at the various capitals will be able to run what- ever part of the national policy they like-by making an international agreement covering it, and not be bothered with silly interference from Parliamcnts- For example, wheat problems will be settled by international Wheat Conferences, of civil servants. If Parliament did not like it, Parliament could lump it. The speech itself was written by one of the bright young men in the P. l\I.'s office. The real danger is that we shall awaken some mowing, and find that plans for this extinction of our Parliamentary system have taken the form of signed agreements. Mr. Cold- well will like this plan- If Mr. Bracken is really desirous of becoming Prime Minister, he should expose this business in plain language, and point out that he is in favour of continued Parliament- ary Government in Canada. In any event, the whole thing is rather ridiculous, since neither the UK. Parliament nor the U.S. Congress is go- iiig to let their bright boys get away with any- thing of this sort. Mr. Churchill himself has said plainly that post-War policies will be fixed by post-War Parliaments. The worst that can happen to iis is that the next Government will have to

POST-WAR TRADE

Slr.— ‘This rural made: was cult: pleased with an Item 1n the Gunm- iim's editorial columns recently. dealing with Jack Canuck‘: post- war position "On World ‘ﬁade Lanes". credited to Exchange, and including the following paragraph: "Unless all good intentions fail. peacetime trade of the past will

In my opinion, the above f: l timely and sfgnlflcant- statement. because I presume that we mean what we say with regard to the "Four Freedoms"—and, materially speaking. especially "freedom from want and fear"?

The reference to "corresponding return cargoes" would certainly do

N0 Laurels Woni

(Globe and Mall)

Last week in the House of 00m- mons Mr. Brooke Claxton, Parlia- mentary Assistant bo the Prime Minister, laid claim, in the name of the Wartime Information Board. to credit for the swift distribution of news about. the Sicilian invas- ion. This and other daily newspa - ers were able m show that. . Claxtons claims were without foundation. On Friday he returned to the subject with a revised ver- sion. He conceded that W. I. B. had nothing to do with the distribution of news from slclly, arguing that it. was in the distribution and $19M;- ment of the early announcement of the invasion, and of the Prime Minister's statement on Canadian participation, that. the press was indebted to W. 1- B.

Unhappily Mr. Claxtonb revised claim is no more correct thin the original. We have no doubt, that last week-end the W. I. B. 0111011115 were as busy as bees upon a honey- suckle tree. We are reluctant to strip them of the laurels with which the Parliamentary Assistant

fortunately the cold record of what actually occurred does not sustain his claims on their behalf.

The Ottawa correspondent of The Globe and Mall, through the courtesy of The Canadian "e88. saw the ﬁrst message on the 1n- viision as it. came over the C. P. printer-as mere flash bringing I. report of the Algiers radio that A1- lied forces had made c funding In Sicily. This news was taken by our correspondent and a C. P» 1Q res- eiitntlve to the office ofithe ime Minister, and both they and an- other Ottawa correspondent 8111-101- pated W I B. in communicating the tidings. Before the had left the Prune Minister's o flce there arrived a second news report, lntl- mnilng that the Canadian troops were participating. Thereupon Mr. King's statement was released to the correspondents.

his statement was des atched ivithout delay bv wire to he As- sociated Press office In New YOTIK. from which it was relayed to the member newspapers in the United States. This evidence shows clearly that the established news organiza- tions. and not. the Wartime In- formation Board, were the QBEIICIBS through which the first. news of the invasion rind the Prime Minister's statement were disseminated nroiid.

Mr. Claxton indulged in myster- ious hints that only the danger cf impairing the usefulness of W. I. B. prevented him from unfolding the WIIOIG glorious tale of how the board had worked. We cannot 1m- aglne what there is to the "Xllll story“ which has to be hidden. un- less. of course, it. Is some form of trickery which would outlaw the agency in newspaper offices. In Ln- dulizlnil 1n this sort of claptrap, a common resort of politicians who have to Justtfv an unsound case, Mr. Claxton brings suspicion. not. credit, to W. I. B. Our belief is that had Mr. Claxton imd all the W. I. B. officials been living In Greenland. or playing tennis at. the C untry Club through Thursday, iclay and Saturday. the public of t Is continent would have received n more and no less Information a ut the Sicilian Invasion than w actually distributed to them.

M031 Ado About Nothing

l (Globe and Mall) Our Prime Minister is terribly up- t and annoyed because the mill- ary authorities overseas would ave restrained hlm until Satur- ay evening from announcing that anadian troops were participating n the invasion of Sicily. By the ime that. he revealed his acute dis- leasure to the House of Common: on Thursday, he had worked hfm- self lnto a utatc of virtuous fndll- nntlon over the au posed alight up- on Canada. The " oronto Btu np- provtngly descrfbet: him u "some- what. nettled." and u having spok- en "heatcdly."

formed that the British military authorities, for reasons of security. wanted no mention of the presence of Canadians In the Allied army of invasion and he saw from a copy of Gen. Eisenhower's reclama- tlonto the French peop e that. it spoke of the attack of “Anglo- Amerlcan forces" upon Sicily, mak- ing no reference to Canadians. Thereupon Mr. King got busy over the cable with protests against this omission. When he failed to ellclt any satisfactory response from fondan. he appealed successfully to President Roosevelt- The result was that. Gen. Eisenhower referred In his proclamation to “Anglo-Ameri- cim-Canadlan forces," although in his first communique about the on- erattons he used the words "the Al- lied forces of Britain and the Unit.- ed States." But London remained unmoved by further pleas from Mr. King that he should not be debar- red from announcing the participa- tlon of Canadians.

Boiled down to its essentials, the gist of Mr. King's complaint Is that. Canadian troops were being classl- fled as British troops. They are n. unit. of the British 8th Anny, and ft was only natural that an Ameri- can Commnnder-fn-Chlef should lump its units together as British troops. There has never been reas- on to suspect that the British mill- tary authorities want to conceal the participation of Canadians or preven them getting full credit for their exploits, They have welcomed the presence of Canadian war cor- respondents, who nre given every facility for sending stories from the battlefront to Canadian papers. Col. Balaton sym athlzed with his lead- er's fndlgnat on. But. In declining to name the Canadian commander he refused to assume that “people am Just being fussy" or trying to make things dffflcu t, thfnklng theta must have been some good reason for the British veto-

The whole business seems to us I case of much ado about; nothln . The solidarity of the democratic a - fiance for the cause of freedom will survive this trivial tempest at 0t.- tuwa. But. wfthal. It. ls exceedingly lamentable that the Prime Minister of Canada should seize upon such a minor episode as an excuse for a. thinly veiled crttlcsm of the British Government. and pointedly thank the American authorities for their greater consideration for his wish- es. Nor was there any excuse for his innuendo that. some people did not regard the services of the Cn- nadfan forces as on a par with those of the British and American forces. No such Idea. ls harbored Either In Britain or the United

If there was any slight upon Can- ada. Mr. King had better rend his heart. and not. his garments. His persistent olfcy of "no commit- ments" be ore the war. his refusal to remove obstacles to a full nation- al war effort since the conflict be- gan. 1nd his o position to the cre- ation of mach ery foi- co-ordlnat- lng the olfcles of the British Com- monwea th have nil combined to weaken the Influence of Canada in the councils of the United Nations. There Is a good deal of truth in the observation that under his minis- tration: Canada has become "the lettuce leaf in the Anglo-American sandwich." If he had allowed Can- ada to be put upon a complete par- ity with Brltaln and the United Staten In regard to her national war effort. he would have been on happier ground for his protest of
