It is to the in- terest of litismcss as well 21-.» to the general in- tercst that the schools should be given as much of the wzir surplus as possible rather than that it be sold to other users‘ or to dealers with a consequent reduction in the demand for new equipment.

At present the War Assets Corporation per- mits the schools t0 obtain “on indefinite loan" —in effect, grzitis—0nly such materials and equipment that its scrceners have listed as non- saleable or scrap. Presumably educators are expected to be grateful for these crumbs from the master's tchle. In fact they are indignant. The work of the schools isvsurely of sufficient importance to deserve something more than a hand-out of reiected iunk.

I00 New Canadian Products

Hundreds 0f articles never before made in Canada are going to pour from the D0mini0n's war-expanded industry, the Reconstruction De- partment predicts in its report by George Mc- Ilraith, Parliamentary assistant to Reconstruc- tion Minister Howe.

While the tone of the report is optimistic there is recognition of problems to be faced in the reconstruction period, particularly in the re- conversion of plant and equipment and in “a lubstanttial realignment of the labor force."

Figures included in the 65-page survey show : wartime expansion by Canadian Government investment of $706,000,000 in industrial plants and investments by private industry of $500,- 000,000. It is roughly estimated that the post- war value cf this expansion will be in the neighborhood of $583,000,000.

The report is largely of a. factual nature, consolidating iufornlation on developlnent of industry, employment trends and population shifts; but from those figures certain clear- cut conclusions emerge.

"Canadian mamifzicttiring industries are planning to expand and produce many new lines, iticludmg at least I00 maior products never before manufactured in Canada," the re- port says.

“For example, products range from ihtcr- city buses, prefabricated houses, glass fabrics and plastic prctlucts to a myriad of household articles. Thefdr-vclopmeut of the toy industry il Canada gives promise of an end to reliance M foreign countries.

"Primary materials and components of mantifacttired articles include ball and roller type bearings: polymer flake, an important ma- terial for nylon fabrics; special type yarns; syn- thetic resins; titanium dioxide for all types of paint. The list of new products includes medicines and chemicals as well as many types of plant HLICllLIEFV and equipmenLnevcr be- forc produced in Canada.’

On Canada's Corfiing Of Age

An American IIUWS mttgazinc has a pic- ture of Mr. hlackcnzie King on‘ its cover, prints under it the legend “His country has come of ags." Canadians, suggests the Otlawa Journal, are sufficiently adult to accept with grace any llF-riut that comes t0 their Prime Minister, will l-c only pleased or amused (de- pending oti the-h mood or knowledge of the flctsl by the news magazine's sketch of his career. For the sake of the record. it seems right tu point nut that the implied nntlon Ill through the piece. that Canada came of age under or Lecausp of Mr. King is nonsense.

Canada lzwd come of age long before Mr.

lag, World Wu I, acted that age also in thel peace conference at Versailles.

' The Stature of Westminster? That statute was purely declaratory; creating nothing, es- tablishing tiuthmg, it merely defined somethingl established before.

_ Our American neighbors may not under- stand that; it. is well- that Canadians should. Too much tionsense‘ is talked in too manyl places about Canada having been brought t0 nationhood tinder Mr. King. Mr. King, good student that he is, must himself know differ- ently.

Queen's Canadian Fund

The Queen's Canadian Fund was formally closed at the end of the year Since the spring of 1941, when i! was organized, contributions have bfifin sent in from all parts 0f the Domiriiom the headquarters 0f the fund being in Mont- real, with local collecting agencies established in the various provinces. For the most Dart, individual subscriptions have been small in amount, but ‘illectively they have meant a respectable augmentation 0f the sum available for relief purpoises. The money was forward- ed to the Lord Mayor's Fund in London, a. small proportion going t0 the Far East; but most 0f it was set aside f0‘: the benefit of the people of Britain, who suffered so cruelly as a‘ result of Nazi bombing raids. l About $1,700,000 in all was collected in Canada in support 0f the fund, mainly as a result of newspaper public-in. A special effort was made to brighten the lives of young people affected by the tirar; the "Children's Christ- mas" may be n-ctitioned as a particularly pleas- ing feature m this regard Subscribers have the satisfaction of knowint- that the money donated has, ir. all circumstances been used to the best advantage and helped to supply a mqgt urgent need.

A world slate is now being touted from London, and information is that this story comes from the anti-Bevin extremists. Obviously, a world state is what we are working to create, but, equally obviously, it will still take some cen- turies to bring one about. Talk of this kind does nothing but discredit. all the efforts to bmfllt about a working arrangement between nations to keep peace.
