Much of the work attempted may be of high-school character, but approach to it would be that of the methods of adult edu- cation, as the soldier will in many eases have Grade IX or better academic standing backed by unique war experience. r Soviet Prestige Waning Finland's gallant defense against the Soviet hordes is taking on increased importance for the Allies and the world at large. Everyone expected that Russia would win quickly and decisively. Her mechanized army and stupen- dous air force were believed invincible, at fast when directed against a pigmy state like Fin- land. But the past few weeks have revealed an extraordinary lack of discipline and efficiency. It is now predicted that if little Finland can prolong her resistance for, says, a period of months the effect may be incalculable. Ger- many will lose confidence in her great and un- scrupulous friend. japan may decide this is as good l time as any to take on the war with Russia which Tokyo thinks is inevitable. The Scandinavian and Balkan nationl will be heart- ened to oppose aggression if it moves in their direction. TllllS out of Stalin's greed for gain iiiav come a priceless boon to Christian dem- ocracies, the lifting of the dread shadow of fear of Soviet conquest that has haunted Europe for the past decade. It is, of course, too early to predict the outcome of the present fighting. but eiery week that passes without a decisive Russian victory is weakening Stalin's power at home and abroad. Farm Purchasing Power Farm income in Canada during the three months ending September last was the lllflllefi‘ for nnv tiuairier since IOZQ and 16 per cent high- er than for the corresponding quarter of i938. according to tlie iuontlilv letter issued by the (Einmlinii llzuik of Commerce.

Coarse grains, hay and potatoes also brought better returns, but some miscellaneous field crops were lower in cash value. The iti- come from live stock was I6 per cent higher than a year ago, owing mainly to higher prices and larger sales of cattle and calves; market- ings of hogs were larger but prices were lower, ivliiJe sales of sheep were virtually the same. with prices slightly higher. Although the esti- mated production of milk was higher, this in- crease was more than offset by a decline in price to the farmer. _ Farm costs for the twelve months ending Sep- tember, while slightly higher than for the cor- responding period ending June, were lower than for that ending &ptember, i938. Seed and feed were lower in price but clothing, wages, fertilizers and miscellaneous services were up fractionally. while tlie price of imported farm implements began to be affected by the premium on United States exchange. s: EDITORIAL NUIES =1 Tomorrow will be the shortest day, according to the Calendar, for this year of grace, i939.

I I I I An‘ indignant Scot with the name of Allan Ross blacdougall would impose a tax on gum chewers. It seems to him that to impose a tax would be a much more practical way of com- bating the discarded-chewing-gum evil than an appeal to the manufacturers to divert some of their profits to the education of gum-buyers in the habits of simple decency. The drinker's wine and beer and the smokefs cigarettes. he says, are taxed almost out of existence. There is therefore no logical reason for the tax ex- emption of the viscous substance which incon- siderate bovine morons stolidly masticate and then proceed to stick under and over tables, chairs, handrailings, or lightly drop on the side- walks. A tax equal to that imposed upon either liquor or cigarettes might be the means of wip- ing out the chewing-gum evil. In any event. the receipts from such a tax would surely aid in paying the “hundreds of thousands of dol- lars" which the hlay'or of New York says are necessary to rid the streets of the foul drop- pings‘ a a a a The British war censorship, says the Times, has caused many a journalist to tear his hair. Yet we had evidence this week, in a report of the British Institute of Public Opinion, releas- ed by tlie American Institute of Public Opin- ion anrl also broadcast in England. that free- dom of expression on the most vital points still exists. The British survey showed that fit per cent of those questioned were satis- fied with tlie Government's conduct of the war: that I8 per cettt were (lissatisfied: and that II per cent ivzinir-rl to stop tlie war. These figures represent a blending of Government voters and opposition voters. Stratigely enough l0 per cent of tlie so-called Government voters were dissatisfied wiili tlie conduct of tlie war and 5 per cent wanted to call it off. No doubt some- what similar restilts niiglit have been obtained in any country at war during tlie past century or centurv and a half. No nation is unani- mous.
