Mr. Attlss's Warning

Britain's Labour Government, through its leader Prime Minister Attlee, has taken an unequivocal stand against Communist aggression in Korea, and has called not only for greater enlistments in the British armed forces and civil defense organizations, but also for an all-out fight against sabotage and fifth-column activities at home.

The attack on South Korea, Mr. Attlee warns, is but one step in a world-wide con- spiracy against the way of life of the free democracies. "If the aggressor gets away with it, aggressors all over the world will be encouraged. The same results which led to the Second World War will follow, and an-. other world 'war may result."

This blunt reminder of the fiasco of Munich which preceded World War Two, and of the failure of appeasement in deal- ing with threats of totalitarian aggression, was directed primarily at the members of Mr. Attlee's own party. While the trade unions are solidly behind the Govem- ment's anti-Communist stand, there is an- other element known as the Independent labour movement, consisting chiefly of pro- fessional and white-collar workers who have no trade union affiliations but are lined up as socialists with the unions in support of the Government generally. The Korean crisis has brought the heads of the Labour Government more closely in line with the stand enunciated by the Conservative lead- er, Mr. Churchill, who has maintained all along that the war mongers behind the iron curtain are bent on world domination, and that there can be no compromise where open acts of aggression are concerned.

The British Prime Minister's statements should have their effect in Canada as well as in the Old Country, in lining up public opinion solidly behind both governments in giving every possible support to the appeal of the Security Council of the United Na- tions for effective aid to the U. S. forces in Korea.

Today, August 1st, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police take another step forward in policing this country by taking over the Newfoundland Rangers, a famous force with similar traditions to their own and in fact

-very largely trained by the R. C. M. P.

Founded in 1873 as the North West Mounted Police, later to have added the epithet "Royal", the force was from the first semi-military in nature and took over from the military the duty of keeping the peace on Canada's Western frontier. It is interesting to learn from the Ottawa Jour- nal that consternation was aroused ln the United States by the news that an armed Canadian force, the North West Mounted Rifles, was heading Westwards, perhaps to do a bit of boundary changing. To ease the tension, Sir John A. Macdonald picked up his pen, struck out the word "Rifles" and substituted "Police".

costly Fiasco

British doctors attending the annual con- ference of their association in Southport, Lancashire, have pledged their support of a resolution urging preparation for with- drawal from the state-run National Health Services Statement of one member of the British Medical Association to the effect that the existing health scheme was show- ing "every sign of being the most costly and complete fiasco in our social history", drew a round of applause from the four hundred medical men attending.

Health Minister Bevan describes the attitude of the British medical profession as s "squalid political conspiracy." Few peo- ple ln the United Kingdom or elsewhere will bekcontent to accept atface value so con- temptuous a dismissal of , considered Judg- ment of the British Medical Association.

Socialist advocates of state medicine charge that the basis for criticism of Bri- tsin's National Health Service by the'doc- tors is the limitations which it places upon their earnings. "In reality, the ground of concern-among medical. men is entirely dif- ferent. They fear that state medicine un- dermlnesithe ethics professional stand- ards which-ifonn so important a part of the

sentisl if Canadian health standards are to

be maintained and improved. If all doctors are to be made civil servants, subject to the whims of the government of the day, how- ever, chances are that the losses will far outweigh the gains.

Fmr Tax llstlmrs

Income tax division officers across Can-

. ads have been notified that they must re-

duce staffs by approximately 25 per cent. This instruction does not envisage mass dis- missals, but rather a gradual curtailment of staff as present employees leave to seek new positions and to get married.

Decision to reduce the present income tax payroll reflects a right-about-face on previous policy, which, as recently as three months ago, envisaged increasing the num- ber of employees in the Department of Na- tional Revenue by more than 5,000. Opin- ion expressed in income tax division offices suggests that reduction of staff can be ac-' complished without imposing any undue burden upon those retained.

This is the first positive indication that the Government's professed desire to effect economies is being implemented. The Min- ister of National Rvenue is to be commend- ed for the steps already taken. Taxpayers of Canada will look with interest to figures which will be tabled during the next session of Parliament showing the actual savings achieved by this action.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A new month, and usually one of the best, including as it does Old Home Week. 0 O O The annual shoot of the Provincial Rif Association begins today. . I D 0 Your new car may cost you more, as some of the motor companies are re-con- verting their plants into munition factories. O O 0 Today Queen's County has a new village. Congratulations are in order to the villagers of Crapaud and to their newly incorporated municipality. 0 The late Dr. G. L. Smith was a quiet, unassuming citizen, always "on the dot" where duty called. He will be greatly miss- ed by a large circle of friends and patients whose sympathy,goes out to the suddenly bereaved wife and daughters. 0 O 0

It would be well worth-while for the Government to subsidize the Ran-A-Tan Tourist service in the harbour and vicinity and likewise lay the buoys in the rivers. We have too few such attractions, and it is the business of government to see they are maintained and developed.

' O O Marconi's of Chelmsford (East England) announce a b180,000 Canadian order for two. mobile television stations. The order, which is from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, follows a contract placed a few weeks ago to equip two studios in Toronto and two in Montreal. The second order means that Britain will be supplying the en- tire studio and outside broadcasting TV equipment to start a Canadian television service.

The Battle of the Nile between the Brit- ish and French fleets in the Bay of Aboukir, this date 1798. Hearing of the French ap- pearance at Malta, Nelson rightly judged Egypt to be their secret destination, but, arriving at Alexandria before the French f1ee't, supposed he had made an error and sailed away; he returned to find the French in possession, but surrounded them in Aboukir Bay at the mouth of the Nile, and destroyed their fleet. Napoleon for four

months was thus cut off from France. 0 I O

By a peculiar coincidence, the first con- tlngents of the 2nd and 3rd Canadian In- fantry Divlsions arrived overseas in the Second World War on the same day, but a year apart. On August 1, 1940, the 2nd Canadian Division arrived safe and sound at a British port and a year later, to the day, men of the 3rd Division strode down the gangplank to join the ranks of Canada's rapidly expanding army in Britain. Of the two divisions, the 2nd Division was the first to bloody itself in action. To it fell the task of carrying out the raid on Dleppe, August 19, 1942; which was almost entirely a Cana- dian operation. To the 3rd Division went the glory of being the first Canadian forma- tion to hit the Normandy beachhead when D-Day dawned June 6, 1944. The division, under command of Maj.-Gen. R. F. L. Kel- ler,waswslllnthevsnoftheterrlfiosI- ssult which, within the space of s year was.

Britain Studies The Canadian Consumer

Csnsdlsns like strawberry fun way ahead of any other; they most- ly buy chocolate bars and don't, go much for coffee; old men living in country districts are the biggest buyers of suspenders. but young men everywhere prefer belts; and there is more consumer demand -in F ;' fcr packaged garters than for packaged suspenders or belts.

"rhsse' and many other interesting aspects of Canadian consumer choice are recorded in a neat little booklet published today by Britain's Stationary Office under the title "Packaging Qcnsumer Goods for the Canadian Market" (11. M. B. O. Lon- don, 35. 0d. or 50 cents. -by post). It was prepared by I non-profit making research organisation call- ed BETR10 (British Export Trade Research organization). at the re- quest of them. K. Board of Trade and. with its meticulous study of Canadian buying habits, exempli" Britain's determination to sell to Canadians the things they want the way they want them.

As well as making a detailed sur- vey of Canadian packaging require- ments the Report provider .I shrewd market research study

which should prove invaluable to Britain's manufacturers and exporters. It is based on a

"pilot" study carried out by BETRO officials in Canada. followed by wide-scale "sampling" in cities and rural areas throughout the country. Hundreds of Canadian housewives and others were interviewed and- "so that these questioned would not be tempted to give answers blessed to please British ears"-all inter- viewers. were Canadian. In Quebec, questions were asked in French by French Canadian interviewers.

Searching questions like "Should garters be packaged-?" and "Do you normally put the pickle Jar on the table at meal times?" were asked and replies are carefully analysed by Province and age-group. Incid- entally. it was found that 52 per cent of purchasers consulted

this practice is not confined to Brit- ain.

BETRO recommends British man- ufacturers to take a close look at

is described as "colourless and out of date", though it is made plain that this does not apply to all Brit- ish lines. "Packaging for Canada must", says the Report, "be in full bright colours . . . with printed de- signs consisting of simple, abstract paitems, giving an impression of smartnesa and modernity". Manu- facturers are urged to use more transparent film and sheet and to use "windows". in boxes for display 91390593-

The Report explains patiently that ”ln Canada, consumer goods reach the final customer through a variety of outlets, and the pattern of retail distribution undergoes con- stant change." Puzzled Englishmen are told. that handkerchiefs are now selling in drug and cigar stores, while at least two men's wear stores in Montreal sell radios and home appliances likely to be bought by men. The runotensss of the Canad- ian drugstore from its distant Brit- ish cousin ths chemist's is emph- aslzed-"As well as the usual lines of pharmaceuticals and cosmetl the Canadian druggist. stocks cigar- ettes. confectionary (candy). stat- ionary, ice cream, and s variety of novel items." The Report. observes prlmly "Approximately one-third of Canadian drugstores have a soda fountain, which both attracts extra trade, and constitutes the tradit- ional social centte of the younger members of the neighbourhood."

The Report finds that the only selling item in the Csnpdian market not presenting special pro- blems is the wallet. , In a foreword, Mr. Harold Wilson, resident of the U. K. Board of Trade, says the Report should "kill two birds with one stone" by help- ing 0. K. manufacturers to sell con- sumer goods and giving them an in- troduction to the North American technique of market research.

Much About Cows

"rhe bird that I am going to write about is the Owl. The Owl cannot see at all by day and at night is is blind as s but.

"I do not know much about the Owl, so I will go on to.the,beIst which I am going to choose. it is the Cow. The Cow is a mammal. It has six sides-right, left. an up- per snd below. At the back it has a fall on which hangs A brush. With this it sends the files away so that they do not fall into the milk. The head is for tho purpose of growing horns sad so that the mouth can go somewhere. The horns are to butt with, and the mouth is to moo with.

Not In .One Canoe

(Financial Post)

The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests says that a question often put to its rangers is: "Is there such a thing as an ideal list. of groceries for a two- week canoe trip?"

There are so many complications that the rangers, accustom f to making long wilderness treks, hesitate to answer it. But the de- partment say that one list sug- gested for two persons on 3 two- wcok canoe trip - provided that fish will provide the bulk of at least one of each three meals I ay - ls:

"Flour , 20 pounds; baking pow- der, 1-? pound; cereals. 10 pounds: snnullted sugar 10 pounds; table salt, two pounds; popper, one can; whole milk powder, three pounds; white navy beans. seven pounds: bacon, seven pounds; tea. one pound: coffee. (concentrated), two jars: dried fruit, 10 pounds; can- ned butter, three pounds; sweet chocolate. three pounds; maple syrup. one quart; potatoes, onions or fresh fruit, as desired." Essential cooking utensils are: "Medium-sire double boiler; frying pan; coffee pot: saucepan; light wire broiler; can opener; folding reflecting baker; large spoon; cake or egg turner; butcher knife; kettle; deep pot with swinging wire handle; pistes, cups. cutlery. etc."
