Both are being supplied in ever-increasing voiulne. . not onlv from Empire sources, but also the United States. And once air superiority over Germany is at ained—nnd experts claim it is not far distant-Britain will launch an offensive against her foes. Towards this end Britain is lip- plying every nerve and slnew to the defence of her new life-line across the Atlantic. The menace of Germany's recently inaugurated air blockade off Ireland, the ac- celerated activity of her submar- ines and commerce raiders. is ful- i_v appreciated. Bold counter- measures have already been taken and are reported to be meeting with encouraging results. similarly. British leaders realize fuli well that some effective wea- gons must be devised to bring to a all; the depredation of the night raider. Up to now that has been one of the most serious problems confronting the higher command. But now we have been assured by Air Marshal sir Philip Joubert that an answer is near at hand. “I cannot tell vou anything about it. You must take my word for it." he remarked when pressed for further details.

Dec. 2—(CP)—Reduc- Lion of imports of refined petrol- eum products is aimed at in tariff changes proposed today. The changes include such products in the iist of licensed imports. 0cm- moditles coming under this trend will be admitted temporarily but on a. decreasing scale. Finance Minister Ilsley told the Commons tihat the oil controller was making plans to ensure that all Canada's petroleum require- ments would be “imported in the most economical fcrm possible." This would be done without burden to the consumer's or discrimination against distributors now using im- gasoline, he said. “Permits for the importation of gasoline will be restricted only af- ter equitable arrangements have been made by the oil contrrllci- for the supplying of these distribu- tors." he said.
