Canadians ' Continue Advance

By ROSS MUNRO

WITH THE 1ST CANA- DIAN ARMY IN GER- MANY, Feb. 27--(CP Cable) —Canadian armor and in- fantry plunged through the last German northern de- fence line before the Ruhr industrial basin at least at one point today and mass- ed hundreds of tanks and thousands of infantrymen for blows that will lay open the entire German northern front.

Before loosening reist- ancc, a Canadian tank-in- fantry column rolled down from slopes near captured Uedem, struck eastward in- to. tbs l-Iocbwald, a forest. and penetrated it through a break among the trees along the Goch-Xanten railway line in a three-mile advance.

As prisoners flooded to the rear, other Canadian infantry fought e western fringes of the Hochwald. lvwo miles north of the penetration, after battling hnough defences screening the approaches to the forest. '

The Hochwald line is the last Seigfrled bastion in the north be- tween the Mans and the Rhine Rivers and hundreds of lst Cana- dian Army tanks with masses of infantry are descending on it to smash it to pieces.

Mr. Stewart, com- iimented the hog producers on he uallty of the exhibits dis- plays yesterday afternoon in the Market building and assured the hog breeders they had nothing to fear from European competition in the British market after the war, provided they continue to strive for quality. The Minister reminded the breeders that it Was much easier to sell bacon to Eng- land now than it would be after the war in Europe is over since old experienced bacon producers such us Denmark would then be striv- ing to regain their lost markets. W.R. Shaw, provincial deputy Minister of Agriculture, congrait- ulated the Association on the Bacon Show. One pleasing feature of tihe show was, Mr. Show said, that many of the prizes were won by hog raisers who were practically unknown as hog producers but who evidently tim bacon production. l-Ie was proud led ail Canada last your in the percentage of Grade A hogs raised.

British Premier Gives Report 0f Conference

LONDON, Feb. 2'1 —- (C?) - Prlme Minister Churchill today upheld the Crimea conference Polish settlement as embodying “just and right" Russian terri- torial claims, disclosed the “Big Three" had agreed to give Dan- zlg and Upper Silesia to Poland along with other territory at German expense and defended vigorously the good faith of Marshal Stalin and (he Soviet regime.

Opening in the House of Com- mons a. three-day debate in which he is asking Britain to commit herself to the broad principles of the Crimea confer- ence-in the form of a. vote of confidence - Mr. Churchill in his lid-minute speech ranged widely over the problems of a troubled world.

The Prime Minister declared that "the United States has enter- ed deeply and constructively into the life and salvation of Europe." warned Germany "it is futile to hope for divisions among the Al- lies" and that nothing can avert her “utter defeat". and said there was no subject in his memory in which British policy received more complete vindication than on ac- tions in Greece. -

Crediting the United States on- slaught against Japan with bring- ing the war in the Pacific to a peak period, he said the conflicts in Europe taken together now have reached an "over-ail or double- peak period," the war against Ger- many having "been prolonged for a good many months beyond what wcgncmed for last autumn."

o this peak period he attribut- ed the tight shipping situation and delay in British preparations for home front reconversion.

Mr. Churchill announced also that Foreign Secretary Eden and Clement R. Attiee, deputy prime minister. would head Britain's delegation to the San Francisco world organization conference.

Decisions Re Poland The Prime Minister said the

“Big Three" liad agreed to give Poland "the great city of Danzig

of the fact that P.E. Island had '

and the greater part of East Prus- sia west of Koenigsberg" as well as "a. long wide sea front of the Baltic." the industrial pro- vince of Upper Silesia and such other territory east of the Ode: River as the peace conference might care to take away from Germany.

“The Russian claim. first ad- vanced at Tehran in November, 1943. has always been unchanged for the Curzon Line in the east." Mr. Churchill said. ‘And the Rus- sian offer has always been that ample compensation should be gained for Poland at tile expense of Germany in the north and in the west.

"I think the Russian claim to it is just and right. if I cham- pion this frontier for Rusia, it is not because I bow to force. It is because I believe it is the fairest division of territory than can. in all circumstances. be made between the two countries."

(The Cruzon Line, proposed by an Allied Commission as a fron- tier between Russia and Poland after the Soviet-Polish war of i920. extends from Lithuania wrest of Grodlio rinci southward in ni-

. 1 .most a straight line through Brest a and mouahlgatio giegtugdcoh Litvosk and angles west cf Lwow to
