The arrangements for paying the costs of the technical instruction had not yer. been fully ironed out, Premier Jones stated. It would be a joint enterprise shared in by both the Plovncial and the Federal Governments. In the early sta es of the negotiations. the Prem er sold the financial dispositions were such that the Provincial Govern- ment would have had to pay the greater share of the expense. How- ever. he had continued to negot- iate w.th Ottawa and at the pre- sent moment the arrangement; are that the expense would be equally divided. He felt that the Provin- cial Government should own the building or buildings in which the instruction was to be given and that the Dominion Government should pay the rent for such huildlnlfl.

Cituation Lasl: Night

By KIRK! L. SIMPSON, Associated Prev: War Analyst

There is increasing evidence in the European war news that the: rescue of a handful of the llulleLriddled British “Red Dcvll" airborne division from the lost Arnhem bridgehead in Iiollund was the heroic. bloody prelude to the real Allied break-through attack on the Brabant

The gallant stand of those dauntless British volunteers drew glow- ing tributes from Prime Minister Churchill and Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. It even wrung words of admiration from Nazi fol-men: and its full fruits in the improved tactical and strategic pattern of the war for

One thing is clear: if organized resistance in Germany ll to be broke this year and the prolongation of the battle deep into 194-5 avert. ed. the brave men of the “Red Devil" division, living and dead, will have done much to achieve that end. They built nf their own bodies the rampart on the Rhine behind which ground-fighting Allied comrades a secure Netherlands assault springboard.

Even before the last “Red Devil" survivor had been ferried back across the Rhine to safety and to the homage of tile world for his valor, the Elndrovcn-Nljluegen corridor approach to the llrabzlnt gateway had been doubled in width. It ceased to be a precarious Allied hallway lead. in; to the left bank of the Nader Rhine and became the obvious rally- ing ground of powerful British and other ground forces pouring in to shore up it: defences, then strike out anew at the Achilles Heel of the

High Allied military spokesmen scoff at the word "failure" in de- picting results of the British airborne stand at Arnhem. purpose fully in their eyes even if all hopedjor results were not achiev- ed. And among intangible military assets yct to be reckoned is the ef- fect on Allied troop morale everywhere. Whenever and wherever they strike next from the west, the bravery of thnsc lost comrades left be- hind across the Rhine should spur all ranks of Gen. Eisenhower's armies to prove that the Allied blood spilled at Arnhem svas not spilled in vain.

Just how that brave moment in the struggle is to be exploited most swiftly and effectively by the Allies is yet to be disclosed. Reports from the west front. official and unofficial, furnish only hints of what ls to come. What can be read into the fury of Allied air bombing behind German defence lines all the way from Arnhem to the Belfort Gap in the south gives one hint, however; it is clearly‘ tactical not strategic in nature, aimed at aiding the forward surge of ground armies to come rather than at crippling further German war industries.

important Resolution

The Legion also passed another resolution setting forth the seri. ousness of the present, lndusrrial situation in Charlottetown. The resolution stated that the Legion had good grounds for-the belief that, after Dec. 1 of this year. no more naval craft were to come to Charlottetown for refitting and that. this would mean a lay-off at Bluce Stewart's Dockyard of from 170 to 200 men which in turn would mean e loss to the City and province of a weekly payroll of $10,000, most of which is spent in Charlottetown. The resolution went on to state that Charlotte-I town was the last city; in Canadal with shlpxepairirlg facilities to be given such war work and, will be the first to cease operations if the‘ present intention 1s carried out. I

A copy of the resolution was forwarded to the Hon. A. L. Mu? doneld. Minister of Naval Affairs ‘ the Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister of‘, Finance, Senators J. E. Sinclair.‘ J. P. McIntyre, and J.
