Howe exirlziiiictl how, zinioilg other things, the labor- atories of the Research Council are developing new processes for nlaltitig new types of war ecpiipnietit. Many of these are being adopted in other countries. Tm Councils researches have been partic- ulztrlv Sllfiwv- Yul in promoting the manufac- “m, 1,,‘ .,.,.i-,,__' pus; in Qzinmlzl, a new industry which today Lats reached truly amazing PTO- portions. Caziada is today the sole producer of certain of this valuable equipment. Cannda has zil~o been given full member- ship in the Combined Production and Resources Board, aiong with Britain and the United States, "as recognition," Mr. Howe says, “that we are the third largest producer of munitions among the ztilicd nations." The most powerful explosiw of the war is now being manufactured in Canada by a process developed by Canadian scientists and the Canadian process will be largely used by our allies. The armatlrl of more than 800 ships that re- cenlly moved into North Africa carried some 40,000 Czinndiati mechanized vehicles. Canad- ian armor-piercing shot has revolutionized the making of this type of equipment, which prev- ious to (Innndak entry into the field was made of high-grnile [mil steel. 'l‘oday this shot is bc- ing made from a lmv-ullny type of steel, which is doing a more deadly job than the steel costing four times as much. “Our most spectacular expansion," says Mr. lfowc, “has been in the production of alumin- um. Canada now has the largest aluminum plant in the world, expanded sevenfold since the war began. This plant now has a capacity great- or than the entire world production of alumin- um in 1939. Canada is also producing magnes- ium by a process invented in our own research laboratories, which is being widely adopted in the United States. I believe that ours is the low- ut cost magnesium produced anywhere." Canada. exports large and increasing quan- tities of copper, lead and zinc to United States bud imports manganese, chrome, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium. But-again with the aid of the National Research Council- large deposits of chrome have ‘been found in Manitoba and-Quebec, and production will start early in 1943; molybdenum has been found in Ontario and Quebec and is being developed, and tungsten has been discovered in Brjfigh Columbia, where a mill is to be built which will ltlpply almost all of Canada's requirements, To come closer home, it was in the National Research laboratories that the dehydration of yegetables was perfected as a commercial pm. cess, enabling plants to be established through- out the Maritimes and other part! of Canada ls an essential wartime activity. S_______€___ Liberal Rifts Apparent r fl/hile the net result of Monday'| Federal by- election is the transference of one Quebec seat from the Liberal to the Independent column, the trcnd disclosed in the popular vote is re- garded by the Sydney Post-Record (Independ- ent) as fnr more ominous fortheKingMinistry than the outcome by constituencies indicates.

King Government, recalls the Post-Re- .1, ‘v C0111. has been unlucky in most of the_b)"°l°¢' tion contests which have taken place since Mr. King snatched an electoral victory in 194° by exploiting an anti-conscription appeal in Que?“ and an ail-out war pledge in English-speaking Canada. But Monday's election results demon- strate that the tcmporizing war record of the ,Ministry finds favor neither in the French lan- Iguage no, in the English-speaking parts of Can- ada. Mr. King found political trimming profit- able in peacetimes, but when "the blast of war" blows in a. Prime l\linister’s ears, it is a call to forceful leadership and definite, uncompromis- ing, purposeful action. .- EDITORIAL NOTES- It is interesting to note that Mr. Brockington, K.C., returned to Ottawa from London before Prime Minister King made his Pilgrim SPCQ-Zll at New York. ICU‘ Hoarders and black-marketers have got what should have been coming to them anyway in the govemment-financed reduction in the retail price of coffee, tea, etc. Under the new economic policy this will happen again and again, reach- ing out into all other commodities to prevent storekecpers hoarding their goods in the hope of enhanced profits later. n- o u n- Taking a stranglehold on the Eumpie lum- ber industry, the Germans now have established a. central office in Berlin, which, through grant- r ing or withholding clearing service for payments, will check every lumber deal henceforth con- cluded between the continent and Sweden and Finland, the two big exporters of lumber. Swed- ish and Finnish applications for export licenses must henceforth be addressed to the Berlin cen- tral office, which also arbitrarily fixes prices. Other infra-European organizations for trade, principally the Comite International du Bois, have been liquidated by the Germans. n- a- Mr. R. C. Milner, K.C., who is to preside at the Conservative Convention in Winnipeg next week was born in 1889 at Sackville, N.B., where his father, William C. Milner, was a lawyer and newspaperman. The first Milner in New Brunswick was a missionary, and the roots of the family are deep in the provinces by the sea. His mother was Althea Smith. After graduat- ing from Dalhousie Mr. Milner was called to the Nova Scotia bar in 1911 and in the same year settled in Edmonton, where he has practised law since. He served in France in the First Great War; and was president of the Alberta Conservative Association for 10 years. i- u x m Martin Van Burch, eighth President of the United States, born this date, I782; was Gov- ernor of New York in 1828, Vice-President of the United States four years later; succeeded Jackson as President in 1837, and, continuing the disastrous financial policy of his predecessor brought on the crises in 1839 when many banks stopped payment, and when he ran for re-electimi in 1841 and again in 1848 when he was defeated. One of the outstanding blunders of his regime was his opposition to the annexation of Texas which proclaimed its emancipation from both Spain and Mexico in 1836; it remained an in- dependent republic till I845 when it was ad- mitted as a State to the Union; it seceded dur- ing the Civil War 3nd‘ was re-admittcd in 1870. v rt- One of the changes in procedure under the new military Mobilization set-up is the exam- ination of every man in the classes liabl¢ to compulsory service by army medical boards, in- stead of by private physicians as at present. The practice of calling men found unfit by civil- ian doctors for a second examination by a medi- cal board of review now is general and where these boards find a man fit, he is called into the army. An army examination in the first in- stance would enable men found unfit to plan their future with confidence and enable employ- ers to place them in jobs where they were cer- tain to remain for the duration of the war, If in proposed to issue certificates to men found unfit for military service or whose call-up is postponed. These certificates will replace the letters now sent to the men and are necessary because Selective Service offices have been in- structed to require men applying for work m present evidence that they have complied with military call-up regulations. a w a a To a considerable extent—perhaps a greater extent than moat of us realized-Elliott Little’: memorandum and draft of proposed Selective Service Regulations, says the Gazette, merely consolidate existing law. Most of the new ma- terial may be summed up in two words, “com- pulsory transfer." Is compulsory transfer of labor necessary here and now P After eight months as Selective Service Director, Mr. Little is eon- vinced that it is, and his own summary of the memorandum tells why: "Aggregate demand,- of our amied forces, war industries and civilian in- able supply. In addition, substantial expansion of both the anned forces and war industry is un- der way." A: things stand, equally essential industries are poaching skilled men from each other to the detriment of the common effort. ing priority and giving mobility to our labor force is an urgent necessity. m ,1! n- 1r New Guinea and the Solomons battles are not . the keys to the war down there, say: Major-Gen. l Odlum. “They are only incidents.

The Japanese are determined to win; they show great endurance and an initiative that is surprising. Frankly, I'd rather face a German division than a Japanese.

Here I quota Durant: “subjection breeds humility helplessness breeds altruism l1 - w ich is an appeal for help. Under this herd- morality, love of danger and power gave way to love of secur- ty and peace.

As your summersidw correspondent pre- sumes to suggest that Dr. Klein should not have been allowed facilities for broadcasting, and kimlles that, hLs radio broadcast was derogatory toward our great ally, Russia, 1t becomes necessary for me to correct your con-spon- dent’; impression. which he ap- arently gained entirely from Mr. wis‘ correspondence. Dr. Klein's radio address of November 7th 1.1 on file at OFCY, the script bear- ing on each shat the authorization of the Department of National War Services, Censorship Publi- cations, Ottawa. The writer intro-- duced Dr. Klein and was present 1n the studio during the ent ra brood- cut following the script which Dr. Kle we: using, word for word. Both Mr. Lewis and your corres- pondent in Summerslde will pro- ably be surprised m learn that 1n the whole five and one half sheets of Dr, Klein's talk, the name ‘Rus- sia.’ o;- the cminfry known as the USSR. do not come in for a. single mention, either directly or by lm/pitcation. Dr. Klein simply did not discuss Russia in his radio broadcast at all. In his‘ public meeting at the Charlottetown Ho- tel on Sunday, vember 8th, he made only‘ gassing reference to Russia. w c was anything but derogatory. Should either Mr. Lew- is or your anonymous correspon- dent 1n Summerslde wish to, ex- amine the continuity of Dr. Klein's radio address. we should be very glad indeed to allow them that; privilege. Should they require further information 1n regard to Dr. Klein's public address of November 8th., I shall be glad to lve them the names of prominent. liarlottetown citizens, many of them noted for their appreciation of the Russian system, whom I am sure will confirm my statement as to Dr. Klein's broad-minded treatment oi‘ the Russian scene. In conclusion, may I say that I appreciate Mr. Lewis’ views and the vewa of the anonymous corres- pondent very highly and share many opinions in common with them. as evidenced by their writ- ing, but I deplore their tilting at windmills, as 1n this case. They would do well to remember that every speaker broadcasting ln Canada today must have a. prepar- ed scri 0 which they must stick w. wor for word. and that, all such scripts dealing with national and international affairs must be subjected to the strictest. censor- ship. Such talks, particularly those of men such as Dr Klein. must bear the authorization of the na- tional censor before any radio station will handle them. ‘ I am, sh; etc, . K. S.
