In Furious Combat ,

Canadian forces under General Crerar are _EDITOR'AL NOTES again in furious action on t-he northern fringe of the western front, where they, along with British forces are endeavoring to turn the Ger- man flank and smash their way into the in- dustrial Ruhr valley, an objective of the most vital strategic importance. They have broaden- ed their front and deepened their penetration, but the terrain is"; wretched one, marked by flat lands and flood waters similar to the conditions that presented such difficult barriers on and near Walcheran Island and in the Scheldt

Q last year.

For all Canadians living at home in com- fortable safety it should be a sobering thought that for long, weary days llant men, drawn from every Province of anada, have been continuously braving death by shells, bombs, bullets and mines to fulfil their appointed task. And when they have not been engaged in actual combat they have been enduring great hardships and continuous discomfort, getting little sleep and mostly bivonaclcing on the wet ground in rain-soaked clothes. The sternness 0f their ordeal should make any Canadian who has im- agination ashamed to complain about any minor trials and discomforts he or she may be ex- periencing. ,

We can be confident that no lack of valor or fortitude will prevent the Canadian soldiers from attaining their objective, and great will be their gloiy if they can drive their German opponents back over the Rhine. It is an honor to the Canadian Army, a proof of the fine re- pute which it enjoys with the Allied High

ommand, that it has been selected for this difficult and critical operation. inevitably, how- ever, its execution will involve a heavy toll in casualties, and in the days ahead there will be anxious hearts in hundreds 0f Canadian households whose fathers, sons and brothers are in the fighting line.

Canada, in a formal declaration appearing in the Canada Gazette, has served notice that all possible measures will be taken to block the sale through neutral countries of gold loot- ed by the Axis powers from occupied territory. The declaration said Canada would refuse to recognize the transference of title to looted gold. In line with this policy the Dominion will re- fuse to buy gold from any country which has not broken relations with the Axis or from any countrv ivhicli in the future buys gold from a country which maintains relations with the Axis, unless it is definitely proven that it is not looted gold.

From a Rhonda valley coalpit to the Covent (iarden Opera stage is a far cry even in these days of swift romance and “meteoric” careers. Francis Russell's voice reached that far. At the age of twelve lie was working inIa coal mine? Born at Toiiyrefail, he started down the pit as an engineer, and was an engine-driver there when, twelve years later, Iiewys James heard him sing. The celebrated Welsh operatic baritone immediately offered the young miner a tlirce years‘ contract with the Carl Rosa Opera Company. At the end of his contract, Russell was able to realize his ambition to go to Italy for further study. He studied under the fam- ous baritone Ernesto Caroiina, Leoncavallds favourite singer of the part of Toiiio in “Piigliacci."

The actual number of new industrial jobs in Canada as a result of the war is 759,000, re- ports Canadian Business. Here the main job of post-war employment will have to be tackled. These jobs exist at present chiefly in Ontario and Quebec. But while industry will seek a new level of employment, agriculture will also witness a trend towards a new level, though probably in the opposite direction. The effect 0f the war on Canadian agriculture has been to impel workers to leave the farm, and the drift away from agriculture has been one of the main developments in population changes. The Department of Labour estimates that 210,000 men and 25,000 women have left the farms since 1939, but the Department of Agriculture places the figures much higher, at 410,000 men and 100.000 women. 'l‘lierc is no doubt that many openings 0n the farms will exist ivlicii the troops return, for older people who have qrried on wish to retire and the labour situa- tion has been consistently and sometimes dis- astrously short in agriculture for three years past.
