illod Liver 0il ‘Production In ISharp Increase

| (By Gladys Arnold. Canadian I Press staff Writer) OTTAWA, uct. zd-tcpp-cod liver oil is the current worry of Mrs. Phyllis Turner, technical adviser to the Canadian oils ad- ministrator.‘ but. she told The

Canadian Press’ tonight, it won't]

be for long.

Cod liver oil production in Can. Eada is snowing a sharp increase and the war is responsible. she said. A survey has shown there will be plenty of cod liver oil for Canadian consumption. Produc- tion at present is 00,000 gallons a year for medicinal purposes and 120.000 gallons a year for feeding of poultry.

For six years Mrs. ‘Burner, wid- owed mother of two children. has been chief research economist for the tariff board and the Dominion trade and industry commission. Now she works with Dr. George Hilton, oils administrator of the Wartime Hices and Trade Board. She belles the proverb that beauty cannot be combined with brains.

She is an authority on cod liver oil which until a year ago came to Canada from Norway. England. Newfoundland and the United States. Then the war cut off over- seas supplies.

Research since then has shown that Canada is quite capable of producing from Canadian cod, all the cod liver oil the Dominion needs.

"When adequate refining facil- ities are finally set up Canada |wlll be in a position to export- and may even supply England," Fsaid Mrs. Turner.

"For more than two centuries the Gaspe fishermen simply pack- ed the cod in barrels and obtain- ‘ed tho oil by sun rotting," she added. "This produces a low grade oil only suitable for tanning and other ndustrial consumption."

1n addition to cod-liver oil Can- acla produces other fish oils of high vitamin uelity, notably from the livers of ng cod and salmon on the Pacific coast, swordfish and tune in the Atlantic.

"Bmell percentages of these oils are added to vegetable oils or even-cod-liver oil making many 'kinds of capsules for human con- sumption. This should turn into a rmsnent and growing export trade for Canada in the future," Mrs. Turner said.

Before the war llhigland pro- duced 16,000 tons e year, of which she used about 10,000 tons. Now she produces only a little more than 1,000 tons. vegetable oils with the addition of vitamins are being used as substitutes. but Mrs. Turner said war conditions if iilnythil dncyglase the need of cod

ver o . S0 ers need it during convalscenoe.

Coalition In Manitoba Near

WHWNIPEG Oct. 28. — (OP) - ‘Meinbers of the national legislature

tonight apparently were on the- ' in at

threshold of Joining forces coalition under the leadership of the veteran premier. Hon. John Bracken. who has headed the aro- vince’s administrations since 19 .

An end of rumors and reports came late today when Premier Brac- ken stepped from a cabinet meeting to announce steps toward a "war- time non-partisan administration." He laid that the Conservatives and (Jo-operative Commonwealth Fed- eration members of the legislature ‘had agreed with his coalition pro- posal. and that the social Credit group would meet tomorrow tomake a decision. The premier. who promised a de- finite statement on the set-up in e few days. did not say what course ‘he would take if the social Credit members decided against the move. iIn political circles, however. th lwas described as iinlikelv as tho ‘Social Credit members had lcnt isunport to the Liberal-P ressive ygovernment of Mr. Bracken s ce its election Julv 2'1. 193d.

Urged Armament in Bright Days 01' Appeasement

LONDON, Oct. N —(@) -—Min- isteir of ‘It , "* 1n the recons- tructed Ohiitrchlll cabinet, ht. -0ol. Moore-Braibazon brings to the post the expcrimce of more than 30 years in the House of Ccmmons, g inure-ugh knowledge of motoring problems and an ‘ usiasm for asiatlon.

Automobile circles hailed the ep- poinamerit 56-year-old "Bi-ab." as he is known to friends. He was a founder-member of the Royal Au,o- mobile Club and an aviation plo- ncc-r. He hold; Certificate No. 1 in the Royal Aero Club.

Except for a two-year gap from 1929-31, Lt. -O0i. Moore Brabamxi has been M. P. since 1918. He never hesitates to express his views. He was one or the few Conservatives who in the piping days of the last Baldwin miuistiy warned ropes/ted- iy egeilnst the danger of neglecting Britain's armament.

Directri-ass of the lanfllllge of this back-ibencher held the house but his influence never reached the fiiont bench. He coined the Disrae- iian phrase: ‘The more: of the

reverberate through-

fronr, bench out the land."

Lt. -Ool. Mooue-Bimhazoin show- ed his public spirit at the Outbreflk of the war by agreeing to become parliamentary private secretary to Sir Samuel Hoatre. then lord privy seal, although he had twice been a. junior minister, in each case at the ministry of transport. The house was amuszd at the contrast be- tween the prim. dapper Sir Samuel and hi; “tough” secretary.

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Col. Moore-Bmbancn won the Daily Mail £1,000 alwaird in 1909 flcit the first all-British aiFplane fligihlt of one mile and later won prizes for tcbc-ggltning in Switzerland.

Although few people knew it, he paved the way for the preeem sys- tem of aerial photography by dir- ecting the establishment ca’ the Royal Flying Corps’ photographic section during the First Great War.

in those days, when the observer had to lean over the Side of the plane to aim his camera. nannie- tures in one flight we; ned good work. By attaching the cem- era to the bottom o; the plane and making varicug adjustments, he hoisted the figure to 72 per flight. After tho war he was given £60010;- his invention.

The Germans Loot Red Cross Supplies

(Ottawa Journal)

Mr. P. J. Philip, an experienc- ed and competent foreign corres- pondent of the New York Times, re- ceiitly left France and, back in New Ycrk, is writing for his paper the things ivhich never would havebeen permitted to pass the German CGHSOIS

Mr. Philip's story of the syste- matic looting of occupied France covers familiar ground. The serious shortage of food. of coal, of all the necessities of life, he ascribes to "the deliberate cruelty which is inherent in the Nazi system with its con- ception that any means are Justi- fled ii’ the end can be secured." He adds that in the case of food the Nazi doctrine “is well supported by nriturulappetite"-says so longas supplies lasted the German in- vaders feasted like glultons, that butter to them was such s. rarity they ate it without bread, like ice cream, as they walked along the streets. And the times correspondent has no confidence whatever that the Americans could feed the French people —as Mr. Hoover would have them --without helping the Ger- mans. Not even Red Cross supplies are safe from the Nazi thieves. "Every one-including an Ameri- can lad who, during the past few months, has been engaged by the French Red Cross in the task of taking food to French prisoners — is convinced that, as soon as the back of the distributors are turned‘ and the very correct official cere- niony of handing over the supplies is completed, by far the larger por- tion of what they bring is divided a- mong the Germans —even sent! home to Germany -e.nd not given . to the prisoners."

And Mr. Philip adds this com- 711N111

"Those who contemplate trying to carry on the humanitarian work of relief for the hungry will flndl themselves compelled first to study this question of how they are to distribute, and decide whether i':i~_v can- honestly promise either their siscribers or the French‘ people for whom this relief is in- tended, that it will reach the right destination."

ff there is suffering in France this Winter and apparently hard- x"lp canot be avoided. it will be of, the Germans‘ making, and because! the ivorld cannot trust the Ger- mans honestly to distribute goods‘ which might be sent, in for thei civilian population. The soundest. Amorican opinion supports the Brit- i isli position. that the blockade could ‘ not be lifted safely. and France! must endure, as Britain is endur- ing, in their ccmmon cause.
