Fifty \;asted Hours The present session of Parliament bid! fall‘ to drag on all summer. Tilt waste of time is pro- digious, and anyone reading Hansard day by day will soon come to the conclusion that it is the King Govcrnnictits own party followers who are doing the time-wasting. This \\'Olll(l not be so bad. if it were only politicians’ time; but the timc of hordes of civil scrvants is also being wasted, which could be utilized to better advantage. A gtriking example was furnished the other day when 1\[r_ Pgtilitut (Lib. Tcmiscotita) holding a Defense telephone directory in his hand, demand- ed to know, ‘of the total number of men enlist- ed from the thirteen whose names‘ appeared in the directory, how manv were bilingual; ‘also, out of that total number, how many officials both civil and military have been living in this country for the lztst five years. Many questions, of nlOrc importance to Can- adian citizens at war, have gone unanswered at Ottawa. But some days after Mr. Pouliot’s ques- tion was asked, it was answered by Defense Min- ister Ralston who said: “So far as the army is concerned, there are 874 names listed in the di- rectory. Of these, 737 have resided in Canada during the past five years, and of these, 14o are bilingual and 597 arc not bilingual. Three per- sons listed have not resided in Canada for the past five years, and of that number two are bi- lingual and one is not. One hundred and thirty- one persona whose names appear in thc directory have been moved away from headquarters since the directory was prepared, and therefore details are not available." _ Mr. Neill (Comox-Alberni, B.C.) asked the Defense Minister: “How much time was wasted collecting that information." Colonel Ralston replied: "The calculation was that fifty hours time would be taken in getting the information." Coal Production Problem The British Government has decided to take over control of the British coal industry in an at- tempt to increase production, which has been far from satisfactory, despite an increasing number of men being drawn frotn the forces and placed in the mines. The sittiatioti in the British mining industry has become more and more serious, and the miners themselves have not missed the op- porturiity to demand more pay, adopting methods which were no more praiscworthy than the atti- tude of some of the owners towards them. Under the new systt-m. thc owners ‘ill retain their ownership and financial interests, but the mines will be operated under the direction of a National Board composed of representatives of the miners, minc-oivncrs. tnanagcrs and consum- ers, which \\‘lll FHPPFYlQC lmlh ivnge; and ivorkinig conditions .\l.'i_iiu- liivilym Lloyd George will act Is control .\lllllFY(‘I' to ovcrsce mine operations Ind to decide on the allocation of the available coal supply.

Alberta requested amendment of the act to pro- vide a maximum pension of $1 a day, instead of $20 a month, and payment of the pension at the age of 60 instead of 7o years. Manitoba recom- mended a maximum pension of $300 a year and raising of the limit on private income received by the pensioner from $365 to $425 a year. British Columbia notified the Dominion Government that it was prepared to pay 25 per cent. of the additional amount required for pensions if the Dominion would agree to increase the maximum pension. a a n a Mr. Gillis. MR, from Cape Breton, raised a row in the House of Commons over extravagant fittings of offices in the army. In Halifax he claimed to have seen invoices to show that a total of $746.25 was paid by the Department of Mu- nitions and Supplies for rugs ranging from $130 to over $200 each for officers’ offices. \Ve sug- gest (says Truro News) that l\lr. Howe, head of the Munitions and Supplies Department have someone visit the average business offices, throughout the hlaritin-ie Provinces for instance. and we wager that not 2 percent of them Will be found with any kind of a rug on the floor at all. Surely for a temporary war period we can get along without taxing the people for such unneces- sary fittings. ‘iii Ceilings are costing a lot of money which the tax payer must pay indirectly by taxation. Sub- sidies paid so far to maintain price ceilings total $4,035,455. Payments on domestic subsidies tot- alled $3,359,385 and import subsidies $676,070, said the return, one of a series dealing with sub- sidies. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has 1,253 paid employees and an unpaid staff of I59. The board's annual payroll is $1,620,000. The paid staff of the Commodity Prices Stabilization Corporation numbers 59 and the unpaid staff two. The board’: annual payroll is reported as $117,910. A reply to a question by Mr. George Cruickshank (Lib. Fraser Valley) in the House gave the amount of subsidies paid on citrus fruit juices as $107,897.

He successfully and beautifully put one over the Opposition in the closing minutes of the last session. It had been decided to have a new electoral law in order to have a system of eniimerators introduced. There are two vacancies in the legislature of which Mr. Speaker had been advised By law the by-clec- lions should have been held within five months of such notice, but at the last minute, while the new election bill was before the house, and every- one was hurrying to get home, a clause was in- sorted to do away with the obligation of the Gov- cIrnmcnt to hold by-elcctions within any specified time, and the clause was confirmed in the bustle attending the prorogatinn proceedings.

One hastens to add that this doesn't mean the land offensive should be dispensed with. The sec- ond front will come in due course. Still, this terrific aerial bombard- ment represents one of the most important developments of the war and lends weight to the startlln: prediction by Air Marshal A. E. Harris in London. He said some people argue that heavy bombing will not win wars. To them he answered that it hash‘ been tried yet. When it. is, Germany would be the "experiment" and Jim- an the "confirmation." That statement is a bold chal- lenge to ultra-conservative opinion. This is a rapidly-changing war. in which science is producing quick shifts. The advance in the strlklmz power of the air arm is one of the mast. remarkable. We can't afford to base Judgment on long past air performance. For instance, at the outset of the war m, there were those in high positions who pooh-boobed the idea that: war- ships. especially battleships, wen- vulnerable to air attack. They clung stubbornly to this thesis until dis- asters visited upon Allied warships demonstrated how terribly wrong they were. . ' One cogent argument for a sec- ond front in Western Europe is that in order to bring Germany to her knees the Nazi army must, be knocked out. ‘Phat probably is true, but there's more than one way of skinning a cat There could . no more effective method of liamstriiigzng an army than to cut it off from all military supplies. say through the destruction of German war industries by bombing on the scale now being carried out. Take for example the of ancient Cologne. British and Canadian bombers utterly destroyed eight square miles of the great Rlienish city and caused widespread damage to the rest of it. It will be long before Coloizne rises from its ashes. That. awe-inspiring devastation represents a few force far less in planes ih to use soon to wine out. th industrial centres. However, there need be no worry for fear the Allies wlll try to beat. mropels arch-devil by bombs alone. That eagerly aivaited new land- front, will materialize, but pending its advent those who are advocat- ing lt can rest ‘easy in the assurance that the bombing raids certainly in at least some cases are causing as much and probably more damn’ than a sizable land army could ef- fect-and the air fleets are doing it in far less time and with immeas- urably less expenditure in life, en- orgy. material and money.

In other direc- I lions Britain's gramopiione record industry has been fu.ly harnessed to the war effort. Already many training establisiments in the 3.11.11‘, H9 making use of records either for the teclmcal ground staff or for flying crews. The sounds of aeroplane engines, for examples, are reproduced by gramochone for future pilots learning "blind" flying; and the sound of machine guns, of dif- ferent. calibres of shell and of var- iou; signals are also taught daily by gramorphone. Britain's record- ing engineers have added much to their knowledge in solving the iteofmlcal problems with which they have been faced. The need to record with complete fidelity sounds never before heard on a disc has so broadened the spectrum of sound that tones are now be- ing recorded three or Jour octaves above the highest. no.4: on a piano la to a full octave below the Lwcst. Recorded sound has, in short, been pushed to the llmlt of the range of nudlblllty, which wil mean a more perfect recording of music when peace returns. — RODETL Williamson. ....Umloubtedly the real cause of delinquency is to be found in the home.
