'- Prolest Called For The Nova Scotia. Government has appointed a Cabinet Committee of four to deal with ques- tions of demobilization and rehabilitation, and economic and 5min reconstruction during and after the conclusion of the war. _ Th; Halifax Chronicle (Liberal) suggests that it may not be outside the terms of refer- ence of this committee to take under considera- tion the stcadily-increasiiig migration of Mari- time workers to Quebec and Ontario. “The Dom- inion Department oi Labor" it says, “has con- sistently opposed, in theory, the policy adapted by numerous organization; of enticing workers from one phase of war industry to another by higher wages or better conditions of work and leisure. Voluminous official literature emanat- ing from Ottawa gives ample proof that Nova Scotia, along with the other Maritime Provinces, is rapidly nearing the exhaustion point in the la- bor market, despite the fact that it could quite conveniently utilize many additional workers in its factories, shipyards, mines, arid other eisefltill productive units, But the "raiding" of Maritime labor continues with unabated zeal and apparent- ly without the slightest knowledge of Labor De- partment officials.” Tlie Chronicle cites l. protest made in this con- nection by Prcrnicr McNair, of New Brunswick, and concludes. "It would hardly be consistent with whole- heartcd approval of total national effort t0 criticise this Iiolicy if the workers now going to central Canada performed a vital task there, or rendered services more essential to victory than ‘any they might perform at home. Strategic and economic iiitvvcst on a more far-sighted scale might easily‘ support ilivcrsification of the lQstality of war industries, rather than concentrating and consolidating them all in one small area. To date, no argument iu support of this policy of con- ccutration iviu-iln- of attention has been brought forward. .\iid since Iiiiy rchflliilitalioti and fe- constructioii cauipziign could be rendered almost useless in tho fact of returning hundreds of workvrz, it \-,nlll’l seem that the newly-appointed Provincial committee on Rehabilitation might d0 n-(dl m Qjvp §l‘l'l()ll\‘ concern to a problem which has so frir curioudv evaded Dominion circles."

Thirty-two speakers participated. Here in Canada, says the Ottawa journal, thirty- two speakers would take four 0r five days at least, —weeks if they were debating anything half u serious. The explanation is that while speeches in the Canadian House of Commons are almost invariably set speeches and take up the regulation time of 4o minutes, speeches in the British House of Commons are really debating speeches; with the streak" getting up, speak- ing up, and then shutting tip. n a i: a Marinlngpools for merchant seamen have been opened at Halifax, Montreal and Vancouver, to take care of officers and seamen whose vessels have been destroyed by enemy action or wrecked, and to provide an immediate employment centre for assimilating seamen otherwise unemployed and also graduates from the various training cen- trea.

He said that Canada's representation at Vichy la France any particular gov- eminent, and that. there Is no evid- ence that Lavals statement reflects the sentiment of the French people.

Without izolniz lnto the question as to how Can- ada's Prime Minister finds himself in B. position to reveal the purpose of a rTench traitor, it, may be said that whatever really was the Laval motive its toulness Is beyond dls- pute.

The Prime Minister says that the matter of Caiiatlzvs relations with France "is always receiving consideration." That 1s lII_€_l-I‘OUI)I€. What It. calls for is a decision, and only one decis- ion will fit the circumstances, __________ Advertising Int Wartime (The New York Times) The “'21? has inevitably brought gi-sat changes to the advertising bi szness. At a time Mien there are growing shortages of consumer sccds it would be neither necessary nor; desirable to seek to stimulate ircrea ed consumer demands for the products that are scarce. At u. tiixc when many lndustzics have only one customer-the Govern- IYICJI-Jallell? are some who question ivliether ordinary advertising Is a legitimate business expense to be k5. lY-"iPcs and guns. Adveatlslng men, iircognizfng thc-e conditions. have bccii prcnurerl for changes. But, they liar-s refused to believe that. their business had no place 1n the war effort. Tliev have been disturbed by an (IPPLEIIEIISIOXI that elements within Government were fundamental y hostile to advertising and were disposed to use the war as ti pretext for driving It out of existence. Whether or not these fears were justified, they should be set at; rest by President Roosevelt's-message to the annual convention of the Ad- vertising’ . ezatfon of America. War conditions, the President said, do not mean "an end to advertis- ing." On the contrary, advertising has a worthwhile and patriotic plays, in the nation's total war ef- or .' ’I‘his ls ceztalnly true. Total war demands the mobilization of the spiritual and physical resources of the entire nation.

But no other nation In the world hssc equiiled us in the de- velopment of the art J people the message of what. each man‘; pint must be In total war.

Maps, we said polite? but firmly are not cockeyed. They are the moat accurate things 1n the world. To prove our point we consulted another map, and another cher- ished Illusion exploded in our face. 9° This map gave the distance from Tokyo to Dutch Harbor at 2.933 or 1,263 more than the first Th1: was only the beginning. When the Jan: bombed Dutch Har- bor, United State: newspapers pub- lished maps on their front pages showing distances from Tokyo to Dutch Harbor.
