Prolest Called For

The Nova Scotia. Government has appointed a Cabinet Committee of four to deal with ques- tions of demobilization and rehabilitation, and economic and 5min reconstruction during and after the conclusion of the war. _

Th; Halifax Chronicle (Liberal) suggests that it may not be outside the terms of refer- ence of this committee to take under considera- tion the stcadily-increasiiig migration of Mari- time workers to Quebec and Ontario. “The Dom- inion Department oi Labor" it says, “has con- sistently opposed, in theory, the policy adapted by numerous organization; of enticing workers from one phase of war industry to another by higher wages or better conditions of work and leisure. Voluminous official literature emanat- ing from Ottawa gives ample proof that Nova Scotia, along with the other Maritime Provinces, is rapidly nearing the exhaustion point in the la- bor market, despite the fact that it could quite conveniently utilize many additional workers in its factories, shipyards, mines, arid other eiseﬂtill productive units, But the "raiding" of Maritime labor continues with unabated zeal and apparent- ly without the slightest knowledge of Labor De- partment officials.”

Tlie Chronicle cites l. protest made in this con- nection by Prcrnicr McNair, of New Brunswick, and concludes.

"It would hardly be consistent with whole- heartcd approval of total national effort t0 criticise this Iiolicy if the workers now going to central Canada performed a vital task there, or rendered services more essential to victory than ‘any they might perform at home. Strategic and economic iiitvvcst on a more far-sighted scale might easily‘ support ilivcrsification of the lQstality of war industries, rather than concentrating and consolidating them all in one small area. To date, no argument iu support of this policy of con- ccutration iviu-iln- of attention has been brought forward. .\iid since Iiiiy rchﬂliilitalioti and fe- constructioii cauipziign could be rendered almost useless in tho fact of returning hundreds of workvrz, it \-,nlll’l seem that the newly-appointed Provincial committee on Rehabilitation might d0 n-(dl m Qjvp §l‘l'l()ll\‘ concern to a problem which has so frir curioudv evaded Dominion circles."

This is a topsy turvcy world; while every- where else people are seeking horses to replace autos because of gas shortage, Bermuda has de- cided to open her roads to autos because of a shortage of oats and hay to feed live stock. Un- til the outbreak of war, Bermuda banned the use of motor vehicles on the Island. Permission was granted first to United States army forces to use trucks and later doctors and some officials were allowed to use cars. Now everyone who can afford it, may run an auto.

Last week's momentous debate on war leader- lhip in the British House of Commons occupied fifteen hours. Thirty-two speakers participated. Here in Canada, says the Ottawa journal, thirty- two speakers would take four 0r five days at least, —weeks if they were debating anything half u serious. The explanation is that while speeches in the Canadian House of Commons are almost invariably set speeches and take up the regulation time of 4o minutes, speeches in the British House of Commons are really debating speeches; with the streak" getting up, speak- ing up, and then shutting tip.

Marinlngpools for merchant seamen have been opened at Halifax, Montreal and Vancouver, to take care of officers and seamen whose vessels have been destroyed by enemy action or wrecked, and to provide an immediate employment centre for assimilating seamen otherwise unemployed and also graduates from the various training cen- trea. In this way a. reserve of Canadian, British arid Allied officials arid seamen is provided, con- stantly available to make up crew deficiencies and supply crews for new ships.

Advertising Int Wartime

(The New York Times)

The “'21? has inevitably brought gi-sat changes to the advertising bi szness. At a time Mien there are growing shortages of consumer sccds it would be neither necessary nor; desirable to seek to stimulate ircrea ed consumer demands for the products that are scarce. At u. tiixc when many lndustzics have only one customer-the Govern- IYICJI-Jallell? are some who question ivliether ordinary advertising Is a legitimate business expense to be

k5. lY-"iPcs and guns. Adveatlslng men, iircognizfng thc-e conditions. have bccii prcnurerl for changes. But, they liar-s refused to believe that. their business had no place 1n the war effort. Tliev have been disturbed by an (IPPLEIIEIISIOXI that elements within Government were fundamental y hostile to advertising and were disposed to use the war as ti pretext for driving It out of existence.

Whether or not these fears were justified, they should be set at; rest by President Roosevelt's-message to the annual convention of the Ad- vertising’ . ezatfon of America. War conditions, the President said, do not mean "an end to advertis- ing." On the contrary, advertising has a worthwhile and patriotic plays, in the nation's total war ef- or .'

Mr. Sneaker was supported voclferously-was It anx- iously? Certainly there was an eagerness about. it as If somewhere on the Liberal skin there 1s a place sore to the touch.

Prime Minister King who has promised time for the discussion of the Royal Commission's report might be asked one of these days to specify a. date. _'1'iie response t0 such a request might be interesting. might indeed disclose somewhat more clearly the attitude of the Government upon this issue.

Is it as fa; as from here to there? Isl It colder In Winnipeg than It ls in the winter? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck If s. woodchuck would chuck wood? N0. it's not the heat, nor yet the humldlfty. Our madness springs from a futile search for the answer to a simple question. At. least, we thought It was simple. All we wanted to know was the distance between Tokyo and Dutch Harbor. Alaska. Distances between places are stable things. Once you get them. they stand for all time and do not change every hour or so like women's fashions. That's what we thought.

Knowing how far one place Is from another Is imperative for all amateur war experts.
