The high command communique said some remnants of the Japan- ese force which formerly held Itu had fled southeaatward but that all enemy troops remaining in and around the own had been rounded up by the lnese. Further progresa in the Chhsse advance toward Sungtse river port between Shasi and Ichang. was re- ported in the communique. which announced the recapture of several strategic points to the south. Chinese attacks on Ja anese po- sitions in Chekiang Prov ce to the east were said to nave resulted in the capture of six strategic points around Kinhwa. 90 miles south- enemy troops were killed. The Chinese were continuing an attack on Puklang in western Cheklang.

Another in the group, Chang Ping Chun, counsellor of the executive Yuan, said fears abroad over China's economic plight were "a little bit exaggerated," but empha- sized that "we have no need to hide our great need oi outside help not only in arms, but for all kinds of supplies."

Airborne Lifeboat New ltlsa ALAN ' Canaan IDNDON. Juno 9 —(OP)- Iot- est rescue device for airmen forced down in the sea. is an airborne life- boat, complete with sails. food and wireless. The first time it was used it was a success. That was immediately following the 2.0001011 bomber raid on Dort- mund when thc crew of a Halifax bomber was forced to ditch their aircraft in the North Sea. 50 miles from land, About the time crews of other planes on the Dortmund raid were being interrogated a coastal com- mand Hudson on patrol sighted rockets from the dinrhy in which were the men from the disabled Dortmund aircraft. The patrol plane signalled the position back l0 base, then circled the position until the air-sea rescue Hudson arrived. It had been wait- ing for just such an occasion as this, its life-boat all ready for launching. From 1,000 feet it floated gently down and such was the work of the "boat aimer" that it landed low than 20 yards from the dinghy. The boys scrambled into it in no time but. were surprised indeed when they saw it had engines. The boat was designedtobedrop- i cnmparativ ficer said.

Slr.—! have before me a list of prices from the Internal ‘Prado Branch, Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics. on some farm implements. 1 would like for you to publish these, so that the public in general will know and understand what farmers are up against. If the ad- vances in prices of farm products were equal to the advances in price of farm implements we would have an opfiortunity to make good. The follow g is _the list with compar- ative prices tor the year 1913. i938 and i942, all based on cash price: Item 1913 193B I943 Walking plow $14.50 $21.50 $23.50 Single disc drill 80.00 167.00 187.00 l0 ff. hay rake 30.00 56.00 63.00 Grain binder 156.00 261.00 300,00 l-lay mower 56.00 110.00 124.00 Drag harrow 15.00 25.00 30.00 Disc harrow 25.00 56.00 62.00 Information currently available indicates 1943 prices practically un- changed, ulthough some machines are no lnnger being manufactured.

I am, Sir, etc, FARMER Economic Conditions Improving OTTAWA, June ll lCPl-Econ- omic conditions recorded mnrkrzl betterment in the first four months of 1943 over the same period nf 1942 the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics reported 'od.i\'. and because of the gain in economic flfilYllY and a slightly higher level of om- modlty prices. the monthly estimate of national income rose to a new high in April. "The national income has shown an upward trend without import- ant interruption since i938." the Bureau said. "Tire cstilnntv for April was nearly‘ $736 000.000. equivalent to an annual rate of about 38.832.000.000. "During the first four months a tentative computation of the na- tional income was 52.850.000.000 against 522298.000 O00 in tire SUTJS period of last year, a gain of 24 per cent. "The totals for the months of January, February and March of this year were s537_'i'3').’)00, $700.- 000 000 and $727,000.000 respectively. The totals for the first three months of last year in tire same order were 5560000000. $556.000.000 and $583,000,000." The continued advance in pro- ductive operations was due mainly to the stimulus of war demands said the bureau. The index of the physical volume nf business aci- vanced from 193 in the first four months of 1942 to 230, a gain of 19.3 per cent. The index of wholesale prices was 96.0 in the first four months of the present year against 94.8, a. gain of 3.4 per cent over the same period of 1942. The gain in the cost of living was of "even lesser proportions." The llldl! was 117.1 against 115.7, an increase of 1.! por cent.
