It contained some of the latest and most modern la-bor sovlh! machinery for flax production and

factured from the Belgian models in Canadian factories. The result, in the opinion of fibre flax experts, ivill be that Canada will be able to meet the wartime requirements of the linen industry to a considerable (‘IEQMQ and may be able to establish fibre flax production as a stable in- dustry for peace cg well as war. In peacetime. Irish and English linen mills get their flax largely from the continent of Europe, the .DI"ZnC1pal sources or supply being rBelglum and Russ’a. In the First l Great War as in this those supplies were cut off and had to be ;eplaccd by production at home or in Can-

The linen industry in Great Bri- tain and Northern Ireland must get its fibre supplie from Canada and from increased home produc- tion. It is probable Canadian-made machinery will be required there to hﬂ-Ildlg British and Irish production.

Canadian flax growers are com- pletely dependent on the British and Irish industries for c. fibre market. The hope of retairfng that market. after the war rests on low cost production by the use of the best possible machinery.

There is no flax spinning mill in Canada. and only one flax mill, at Iroquois, Ont. This now is operating on s. Fmited scale be-

Pastor was st Arehambault when he heard rumors of an armistice with Germany and Italy. Although some officials in the town support- Ed Marshal Petain, 12 colonists ap- pealed to Governor-General Boisson to carry on the war.

Pastor went to Bang! to press the De Gaulle cause. ‘There was a stormy meeting during which Gen. l-Iuddson, who became the Vichy-nominated Governor General of Equatorial Ai- rica. walked out.

"We than decided to take motion in our own hands," Pastor said. “I supplied 10 lorries and M. Guerrillot gave three more. We urged the peo- ple to climb into the lorries for an attack on official buildings."

“Anyway, the first two lorries broke down the doors of the arm- ory and seized arms but the sup- porting lorries did not arrive be- cause those with them had lost their nerve and went in different direc- tions."

“Eventually. we heard the lorries plight and we started with cars, ma.-
