Tllfst and other developments in the military field call for a review of Allied strategy, invoh" ing such [li-ofound questions as whether Europe should be invaded through the Balkans or across the English (haunt-l. Churchill and Roosevelt are the only men who can settle such questions, af- ter hearing the advice of British and American staff officers and, perhaps, the advice and wishes of Russian military leaders as well.

In any event, Prime Minister Churchill's sec- ond visit to this country since the war is news of major importance in itself. He is the great- est figure of our day and generation, and the man to whom, above all others under Provid- ence, we owe the most for our preservation.

“Fish Shortage ‘T _

Evidence is accumulating which suggests that s fish shortage will occur in Canada during the winter months. This, according to one authority, will be due primarily to the fact that 25 per ccut of all fresh fish taken in eastern Canadian waiters and 10o per cent of the pollock and flounder catch of the Atlantic coast will be ship- ped to (ii-cat llritailt. The minimum quantities of fish which Canada has agreed to ship to the (lid Country are 2,000,000 pounds from the Pacific. $000,000 pounds of cod fillets from Illf‘ .\ll:miic roast. 1,000,000 pounds of pollock flllsts- and l,(_l()(),()OO pounds of floundcrs.

'l'hl: ll ulaiiil fur fish is already far greater tlriu the supply, with the result that the stocks, which were previously accumulated, are being giwliluzilly rcducl-il. Since it mew be lIIIDO-Silblfi to ziccumulzui- lzirgc stocks during the present s2: fll, it is l‘\'l(lf'lll that the shortage may he izh in fiiliiix- nl-vuths.

The Allied War Conference will tend to re-

the worry over the domestic political house of cards tumbling about his ears. u u n- v

The cry of the period is for something "else"; tear down and obliter the old, substitute some" thing new in men, materials, machinery, organ- ization, immediate prospect; time will prove this to be a. mistaken policy, but like the spirit of the crowd generally, when it isin the air it isliard to withstand.

George Stephenson, inventor of power loco" motion which paved the way for our present day airplanes, died this date 1848; he was a mining engineer working underground like any ordinary miner when he invented in 1815 the safety mine lamp, first used at Killingworth Colliery where he was employed. His steam engine “Rocket" proved the fastest and most reliable means of transit of his day.

u n- u n- . Use of sulfa drugs has reduced casualties among members of the armed forces in the war, Mr. H. Charles Peacock, drug company excell- tive. said in an address to a Montreal service club. Where 80 per ant of the men who suf- fered abdominal wounds in the last war died of infection, all Canadian servicemen with sim- zlar wounds in this war recover if they survive shock and there is now not a single loss of limb from infection, he said. Credit for this is due the laboratory research men who have brought about rapid strides in the use of sulfa drugs, he added. i l i I

Due to the fact that some agricultural seeds are higher in price in the United States and other countries of the United Nations than in Canada, consequently making it difficult to control exports from Canada of such seeds in a way equitable to Canadian producers, the Special Products Board has been given authority to buy through trade channels and become the sole Canadian exporter of such seeds, the agricul- ture department stated recently. Any profit made in the transactions will subsequently be returned to the producers of the seeds brought for export. Among the seeds most urgently re‘ quired at present are alsikc, red clover and alfalfa, but conditions may develop that will make it necessary for the board to acquire sup- plies of several other kinds stated the depart-

Now that Parliament is safely home, so there would be no unseemly debate about it, maybe the Government will see fit, says the Gazette, to extend once more the area in which the Zom- bies, our famous stay-at-home army of “home defence" conscripts, shall be required to do their home defending. Last autumn their despatch was authorized to Alaska, Labrador and New- foundland. Later the \\'est Indies were added. Since the Aleutian Islands are part of the Ter- ritory of Alaska, (loubtless a new Order-in- Couucil would not even be required, if Kiska or Attu were now to be included, as a Liberal MP. suggested last session. There is no reason why the Government should not take such a step, but there are elements of comedy in it. The bovs who wouldn't volunteer to chase Italians beside the balmy Mediterranean, would find themselves fighting a stubborn, entrenched Iap in the chilly Arctic. They would not even have a choice between the devil and the deep sea, they'd have to endure both. l i I U

Ceiling wholesale prices at which cuts of lamb may be sold in any part of Canada are established under an order of the Prices Board announced at Ottawa. An order issued july 27 fixed maximum wholesale prices for carcasses and sides of spring or summer lamb. Up to now prices of cuts have been required to bear a normal and proper relationship to those of carcasses and sides, but new regulations were found necessary "in view of the wide variation in interpreting ‘normal and proper’ " and a uni- form differential has been set up. The whole- sale carcass ceiling price for spring or summer lamb has been fixed for zone 6 (Toronto and Montreal markets) between July 27 and Aug. 31 st 3o cents a pound. The new order sets a corresponding price of 36 1-4 cents for pair of legs, 36 3-4 cents for pair of loins, 23 3-4 cents fnr pair of front quarters and 14 cents the flank cut a a n- w
