Uur Senior Service Of timely interest and value is an illusrrated booklet which has been written for distribu- tion (lllfltlQ Navy Week, Nov. 21-27, by Lt.- Commantlci- William Strange, R.C.N.V.R., and issued by the Navy League of Canada. In language suitable for school boys and girls, the booklet tells the story of Canada's wartime naval activities, riiid.it is indced one worth the telling. A leading article is devoted to convoys, and we are reminded that "one of the very first, battles ever fought over a convoy took place between the Romans and the Carthaginians hitnrlrctls of years ago." Modern iticthczls of convoy organization and operation arc cited, note being taken, among other things, of the fact the sailing of a convoy docs not nican that the responsibility of the naval authorities ashore has ended. livery mile the convoy travels across the ocean must be carefully plotted oit the map in the Operation Room ashore. Re- ports of U-boats received front other ships, or from aircraft steadfastly patrolling throughout the daylight hours, nre immediately studied Ind then sent on to the commending officer of the escorts. If necessary, the course of the convoy’ will be altered by signal from shore, in order i0 avoid sortie sub-infested area. Equally interesting are the chapters devoted to new ships of the Royal Canadian Navy, to the naval training centres (the "Queen Char- lottc” is but one of eighteen stretched across Canada); the Women's Navy, the Merchant Marine. the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets. mid the Navy Lqgne. In the centre of the booklet is a group of photographs illustrating the Navy League! work through its seamen’: clubs. flliel-Cflgl-le is making a special appeal at this time for magazines for these clubs, of which they can use a practically unlimited quantity. _ Means should be found 0f placing this ex- cellent publication in the hands of every ‘Can- ladian school boy. Apart from its educational value, it makes—or should make to F1)’ mrmal youngster-grind and exciting reading. .- EDITORIAL NOTES .- The weekly ration of bacon and ham in Great ‘Britain is 4 02., as compared with the pre-war average domestic consumption of 5 1-2 oz. i l i i There it nothing new under the Sun.

The British Ministry of Economic Warfare cstimates that the Germans have extracted near- ly I3 billion dollars from the occupied European countries. In addition, the Germans have taken exports from those countries to an estimated value of more than five billion dollars, "paid ior" in the German blocked-mark system of riot paving for imports. making a grand total of eighteen billions. Figures such as those give some idea of the extent to which the Nazis have looted Europe. That is the size of the bill which is to be presented when the day of reckon- ing comes.

Everybody will admit that this is a very poor guarantee of success or of sanc and fair administration in other lines of com- mcrce. Furthermore," Mr. Duplessis continu- ed, “in this liquor trade the Godbout govern- ment forces the consumer to pity s direct relief tax on every bottle bought, when everybody knows that there is no more direct relief paid to the people by the provincial government.
