Canada last week announced a national farm labor policy and this week the United States Senate military committee voted a blanket de-

ferment from military service for farm workers, with a provision forbidding them to take other jobs. Both are belated measures taken largely as a result of fcar of recurrent food shortages and a general realization that AmeriCiiVS ability to supply food may have a very potent effect on the attitude of people now under Nazi rule.

It would he a misialce to take it for granted that the labor prilic_v announced by Mr. Mitchell automatically solves tlie farmcr's liclp difficul- ties. it will undoubtedly kCcp some nicn nii

It is reported in Saint john that the Federal Government “are easing up on other war opera- tions and will concentrate on shipbuilding yards." Now shipbuilding connotes ship repairs as well- why not use this as a lever to get our project put into effect. With regard to shipbuilding the TClCgfapll-JOUTIIQT says “if this is the case this province and city sliould be the first considered as prospective sites," while Councillor Skalling felt that “it behooves us to press for considera- tioii in this matter" and asked for suggestions from reprcsciitativcs of the various organizations as to what action the council should take in the matter. Mr, F. S. A. McMullin felt telegrams along this line should be sent Hon. ]_ l5. Mi- Cl1€ltl(l, minister of transport and Mr. D. King Hazeii, K.C., MP. (Saint john-Albert).

Another disavowal. Recurring reports that ‘the Royal Family is finding time to don overalls or siiioclcs and turn out war material for the nation are not true. A week ago it was reported the King liad become a part-time worker iii a war factory, helping make precision parts for an R.A.F. gun. An investigation showed the story was started when His Majesty visited a factory and tinkcred about. Sometime later lie made an- otiier official call at the same place and askcd liow the work was progressing, but did not join in it, The latest report on the subject had the King and Queen. and Princess Elizabeth, fasli- ioniiig camouflage nets for six-pound brecclilocks iii the Windsor Castle ivorkshop. This also is iiiitriic. “They are just somcbody’s bright idea," said the Buckingham Palace press officer. “The Royal Family" is too busy with official duties to engage in such activities." n- v a a

This happens to be the latest Lciitcn period of ilie 20th century because of an astronomical condition occurring but once iii 10o years, March l0 and April 25 arc the latest possible dates in the calendar on which Ash Wednesday and Eas- ter, respectively, may fall. The last time Easter was this late was in i886; the next time will be in 2038. The peculiar rules for selecting Easter and Ash Wednesday were made in 325 A.D, at the council of Christian churches at Nicea in Asia Minor. According to that decision Easter falls on llic first Sunday aftcr tlie 14th day of ihc lil00ii falling on or after tlicycrnal equinox (first (lay of spring), \\'lllCll tliis year falls on March 2i. The reason for basing the selec- tion of Easier on the dates of the moon was iliat iii the early cciittirics of the Christian era, the pilgrims needed moonlight to travel safely

on their way to the great yearly Easter festivals.

Canada has been taken an exioess oi’ males over females has been shown. This is not due to immigration sup- plying us with more males than fe- males; every year for many years inst more male children than fe- male have been born. -Csnadie.n Statesman (Bowmanviile).

To reach Berlin. the British air planes had to fly several hundred miles over Axis territory in broad ‘daylight. Why were they not anni- hilated en route by the German sir force? Was not the whole world told, with the Germans nodding ap- proval, that the German air force was so strong in numbers, so high- ly trained, so superbly equipped, that it would completely dominate Eur- ope in the event of war. and could maintain this preeminence even against the joint production of the United states and the British coun-, tries? This information came from a great authority, whose word was not to be questioned. Let's see—what was his name? Ah, yes -Lindbergh.- Winnipeg Free Press.

Blzerte . .was rightly called the "Tunisian Gibraltar." It was less than one hundred and fifty miles from Italy's big. fortified islands of Sardinia, on the northwest and Siciy on the northeast. Home was only three hundred and fifty miles awav. Second only to Toulon at the time as a French naval base, it had- dry docks. machine and repair shops, underground cisterns for fuel, blown out of rock and safe against naval or aerial bombardments, coating facilities, arsenals, barracks and B. hospital, all protected by vast forti- fications. It was large enough to hold all the fleets of continental Europe. There was even a lake well stocked with edible fish. to ssv noth- lng of a productive hinterland which could be called llDOn for necessary food supplies. »Neal O'Hara.

Sir Stafford Crippg won't stay down. Many thought his star was taking a final plunge when he diop ped from the War Cabinet and took over the problem of aircraft pro- duction. But judging from his speeches he still iegards himself as a. man in the running for greater Political office. Over the week-end he told o meeting of the British Federation of Business and Pro- fessional Women that women must be prepared to meet their responsi- bilities in addition to accepting their rights as citizens that equal suf- frage has brought them. This hardly rallies w the production of airplanes so we can only presume that Sir Stafford has his eye oh the woman's vote and is taking heed of the sage who says never under-esti- mate the power of woman. “The theoretical problem of sex equality has gone. We now face a practical probler and lto only solution is to avoid iniersex competition by mak- ing the field wide enough for all t_o @1110)’. 'I'his is the great political problem of the post-war world . . . We have achieved theoretical accept- ance of the equality and capacity, out we have not yet worked out the economic basis for that equality," Perhaps we are being unduly sus- picious. but it seems to us that when a hard-brained Iawyer like sir Staf- ford iooizs up from a trouble-strewn ties’: littered with aircraft produc- tion problems to tell a bunch of women that they should set their hearts and minds on taking higher posts and higher responsibilities in business and government --well. he's not doing it as an orami-ical exer- ciso. And that's all right by us, for politics in any land can always do with a brain like Sir Btaffordk. -
