The Navy's Many Jobs

Navy Week is a good time to be reminded of the scveii-fold Iil5l\' which the Royal Can- cdiztii .\':ii"v iii cii-opuiiiiiiiii with the Royal Navy and the f\lllCl'lCLlll Navy is performing. It's many vital jobs are thus summed up in an exchange:

I. There is the sea routc from the United Kiiigtlom to (iihrnltar, Sierra Leone and Cape of Liootl llOpC. They are 2,000, 4,000 and 7,000 miles in ivurtiiiic routes. The Home Fleet cov- erg the route to Sierra Leone. The American Navy helps in the Central and South Atlantic.

2. The route from the United Kingdom to the ljnitcd Stnzcs tinil Czinzitla. This is 3,000 miles. The lloiiic Fleet is the chief guardian of this sector.

3. The coastal trade of the United Kingdom. Alinesw/ceping and anti-submarine warfare are important licrc.

4. Eastern Cililsllll trade of the United States. The Royal Nutty helps the American Fleet here.

5. Cape of Good Hope to Aden, Ceylon and Australasia, 4.000, 4.500 and 6,000 wartime miles. The Eastern Fleet covers this. The Anicricztit X.'iv_v liclps. The Royal Navy pro- tects the Indian Ocean.

6. United Kingdom to North Russia. This is a dangerous job as the Germans attack convoys and \\'Zll'Slll‘_.lS from lziiitl based planes.

7. The llcilitcrrrincnit. A large fleet is kept in these w-zirers. lf the enemy ls driven out 0f Africa, the strain on the fleet in this area will be relieved. A150,. if the United Nations can use the direct route through the ‘Mediterranean, it will relieve not only the Royal Navy, but also the merchant marine. The boats can go right through to aid Russia, to Egypt, to India and to other ports without going all the way down around the Cape of Good Hope.

“Mr. lllackenzie’: view on this subject is shared by many on the Pacificcoast," the Tele- fgram declares. "It should have sympathetic consideration from the rest of Canada. Like other Orientals, the Japanese do not lssimilate with the Canadian population, and, unlike other Orientals, they present a. menace which has in the past been too little recognized. Those who know them best assert that though u a. race they have some admirable qualities, their loyalty to japan is proof evenagainst naturalization. Trustworthincss is not a. national characteristic."

a letter from a. wholesale dealer in Malta which an exchange quotes as an example of construc- tive post-ivzir planning as well as 0f Malta's in- domitable spirit. The letter follows:

“We would be very pleased to represent you It this encl. No business will be possible before the end of the war, but we can assure you that some good work will be done m our mutual ad- vantage as soon as the situation will change for the better. None of us will have time to lose, after the war, to settle agency matters, so we are of the opinion that we had bettfler come to definite arrangements now, so that we may start work at. the best opportune moment. If you are of our opinion, please let us have your catalogue 1nd patterns for future reference.

“We represent several important firms. “To these and our bankers you can write for refer- ences re our financial and commercial standing."

Malta's supreme confidence that the island will be doing business at the old stand when the war ends certainly is justified by all that has happened and is happening in the Mediter- Rancart.

More Than Disharmony

The resignation of Elliott M. Little, director of National Selective Service, says the Toronto Telegram, is more than mere failure of a. key man to work in hnrnlony with the government. It is confirmation in a most striking manner of the criticism which has been repeatedly direct- ed against tlic government in respect to its at- titude towards making the fullest possible use 0f the lll7llll)i1\\‘(‘l" of the nation. It has been stated ngzilii mid again in the press, by Liberal llC\\':'l>fl]K'l'$ as wcll a5 by Conservative, that the government has hzid no real plan for a balanced 1llZlll1)()\\'t'1' scrvice, and has appeared not really in miriitnst on llt(‘ siilijcct.

(Special to the Guardian)

St. Andrew was feeling gey glum as he browsed over his brose and toyed with his wddy. The wind was whlstltng throutgp the glen and there was snow on e slopes o’ Ben Lamond. The laddles wha had uye played the pipes on hls birthday were s’ awn at. the war and the mavts wouldna sin! again until the Spring. Strict petrol rationing prevented his brother Saints, George, Davld and ?atrlck, from making their customary vlslt to 5mg “Happy birthday to you" around the peat tire 1n his thatch- ed but-atr-ben.

Yes, St. Andrew's spirits were certainly at an all-time low (al- thou h there was a guld three qug] )re o‘ n bottle on the kitchen ta e.

He was dozing Off. With his dhin on his chest, when a loud knock on the door- three lddies and an umpty, or, as St. George had jocul- lrly put l; last November, three tot; llld s. Bass - roused hlm from his reverie. Just to be on the safe side he covered the bottle with his

Balmoral, and, slipping back the door cautiously enquired. "Wire's that-cf’. From behind the

glow and aroma. of n. Super Corona- I-Invsns cigar came l voice "I have nothing to offer but blood, toll, tears and sweat - except," with a Churchllllan chuckle. "a wee flask on the hip."

"Weell", exclaimed 8t. Andrew with outstretc‘ ’ hand, "if it's no my auld cronle, Winston Churchill! Ocme awe’ ben, man, and thew the szisw free your Jaw, for it's e csuld nlcht".

"confidentially, Andrew,” explain- ed the stocky figure in reefer and peeked hat, " ‘I come to you from u vlslt to the Fleet. I have spent the last few days going over s great many of our ships - some great, some unell, some fresh from action fn the Mediterranean. others after fighting their way through with the Russian convoy‘, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to pop in and wish you many hepp returns and give you the v for Vic oi-y sign, old boy".

St. Andrew mrefully poured twa drrms, holding the bottle over his bowl of brose just In case he spilled some. “Here's tae ye, laddle! Yer: e braw leader and a bonnie fechter - but," slyly, “dltina. forget flint‘: mainly duo to your being born on 8t. Andrew's Day.‘ " Here's to you and Scotland, Andrew," responded Churchill. "Long life to all you stand for. and ‘long llve also the forward march of the common people ln all the lands towards their just and true inherits- nnce, and towards the broader and fuller age. ".
