Mr. mo. Holm, DeSabIs, presi- dent of the Association, acted as chairman at both the afternoon. and evening meetings. In present- ing his annual report he said that he noted the ater production of the est year n spite of many dif- c . "Young boys and girls. der men and women have car- ried ts a great extent the agricul- tural burden of the past year and have given unstintlngly of their time and strength to raise agricul- tural reduction to help in the war c fort".

Mr. Hoim spoke of tbs value oi proven sires in raising the produc- tive capacit of a good dairy herd and eugges the more good bulls should be bought collective- ly and that artificial insemination be more widely practiced. This great boon especially to the smaller farmers. He refer- red to the travelling expenses of slx students taking courses at Guelph Agricultural College and thought this uid should be con- tinued. Theee expenses are paid byflthc P. Ii. I. Dairymenb Assoc- a on.

C. Wright and before being poss- cd evoked considerable discus- ' sion. One member wanted to know if any action had been taken on some of the resolutions passed last year. It was found that most of these resolutions had brought results, and the P. E. I. association is now affiliated with the Dairy- men's Association oi Canada. One resolution requested the Provin-

grant to the Provincial Exhibition and the view was expressed that this should definitely continue.

The resolution committee was on motion appointed from the chair nnd consisted cf Mesrs. Leo Prauuht for Prince County, Jerome O‘Bricn for King's County and D. A. MacDonald for Queens.

The financial statement showed receipts for the year $1271.37 and expenditures $627.04 leaving a bal- ance of Q4443 £lus outstanding accounts of 5M0. , which it was stated would be collected shortly.

President Holm referred to the good work 0i Mr. W. L. Brenton and ex ressed his pleasure that he was k at work again. He also spoke of the excellent year's work accomplished by Mr. Henry J. MacDonald and the constructive nature oi the assistance he hod rendered the entire dairy industry.

Mr. MacDonald read his report

which appears elsewhere in to- day's issue. Mr. Fraser Moi-row then presented his report

in which he said that he consider- ed “the further we get away from federal grading the further we will have to come back". He stated one of the big troubles last year was that not enough cheese was pro- duced.

Mr. Lincoln Dewar in moving the adoption of the Dairy Inspect- or's report said that the appoint- ment oi Mr. MacDonald had been a move in the right direction. He strongly urged that all dairy plants endeavor to get new equip- ment now so that they would be prepared to handle increases in the future in the best msnner and

Iy Kirk; L. Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst

Despite his specific disclaimer of the role of prophet as to the dur- ailen or the war In Europe, Prime Minister Churchill's war review leaves the Impression that he still believes as he did last Nilvembflg- that the crisis will be reached this year.

The caution with which Mr. Churchill paved the way verbally for what is io some in the west suggests that. Hie promise of an Anglo-Am- erican air attack in precede actual landings on the continental coast be- yond yet even "imagined has that significance. 6

The whole of this (Allied) air offensive (from the south as well as the west) “constitutes tho foundation on which our plans for the overseas invasion stand," Mr. Churchill said. “The idea that we should foils;- or ill-flier restrict the use of this prime instrument for shortening the war will not be accepted by the governments of the United Nations."

Even as he spoke, United States heavy bombers based In Italy and Britain were striking anew at targets in Germany to make good his pledge that ever? corner of the Reich would be rsllched by air,

That gave special significance in the Churchill sketch in bu,“ nus- lluc 0i what the alr rclatlvitles in Europe actually arc. By “every pos- sible test" he said, British and plane p-oduction ls about, equal and each "already far exceeds i" y! while American production "alone is double or triple" the Nazi output. a

The British Prime Minister revealed that the overseas assault, when launched from Britain would at the outset be composed of British anil American troops in relatively equal number; but that with a continuous ' rcements from the United States, American force; “mm. "pro- crlsll reached In Europe, and that victory is not only certain but "may not be
