During all this great ‘outpouring of effort the quality and ingenuity of British production have been more than maintained. We were the pioneers of Radar and jet Propulsion; it was a British scientist who discovered Penicillin, a British engineer who invented and designed the Bailey Bridge; we designed and built the Mul- berry harbours; the prefabricated portable lur- bours which made the invasion of France pos- sible; British aircraft have proved themselves second to none in the world; and British scient- ists collaborated with American and Canadian scientists to develop and produce the Atomic Bomb.

A balanced survey of last weeki Pilnlnfl l“ Nova Scotia tells the same stofYi that the major part of the C.C.F. vote has come from electors whose preference as between the solid parties is Progressive Conservative. The returns from such traditionally Conservative strong- holds as Glace Bay, Sydney Mines, Westville, and Springhill,—to mention only a few CaSCS in point,——make this abundantly clear. The (jonservgtivgs, it seems, are more easily lured than‘ Liberals by these empty class appeals, ob- viflugly ‘because the industrial centres are the quickest t0 respond to them. The Liberals, on analysis, polled precisely the same ‘ratio of vofes in this election as in 1934 and 1941. while the Conservatives scored only 3ft P" Cent of the popular vote, as compared with 46 per ant in 1934. The C.C.F. ratio has been tab- ulated at I3 per cent.

Far From Tamed

That the atomic-powered automobile is still a long way off was confirmed last week by one of Canada's outstanding scientists who has been closlely associated with the whole atomic- bomb project. He is Dr. E. W. R. Steacie of the National Research Council.

Dr. Steacie referred to fancies indulged in by some imaginative sensationalist: to the ef- fect that we would soon be able to drive out automobile back and forth across the continent with the power from a tiny pea of uranium.

Among present barriers to that achievement, said Dr. Steacie, is the necessity of designing a cai- that would put r0 tons of concrete and other material between the engine and the driver to protect him-lagainat dangerous radia- tion. Another problem would be to get a trailer behind the car with a water purification sys- tern big enough to serve the needs of a com- munity of 50,000 people.

British War

Production

Britain's truly magnificent record in war pro- dilation has been told in a special iuue of the London Times, which ia noteworthy both for its completeness and for the attractive manner in which the text and illustrations are present- ed- In a foreword appearing on the front page of the edition, Rt. Hon, Oliver Lyttleton, Min- ister of Production from Mai-ch i943 to Lily, 194,5, reviews some of the highspots in the Bri- tish achievement. They are well worth re- pcating here.

Of all the munitiOns used by the Armed Forces of the British Commonwealth and Em- pin (8% million men in all) since the begin- ning of the war, no less than 70 per cent was produced in the United Kingdom itself. The rest came from the United States, from Can- ada and from the other nations of the Com- monwealth. In addition to what Britain pro- duced for her own forces and those of the Em-

- pire, she made and sent substantial supplies to

her other Allies-the United States forces in Britain, the U.S.S.R., China and the other Un- ited Nations. The minister adds:

“All this we had to do under conditions of 3,1- moat unbelievable difficulty. We were bombed from the air; against this we had to disperse our production to black-out our cities, our rail- ways, our roads, our factories. U-boats sank

. our ships bringing in our life-blood, food and

raw materials. Yet, with our imports of raw materials cut by 50 per cent, We achieved the highest industrial output ever attained in the history of our country. .
