As recently as March l3 last, Fisheries Minister Rohichaud told the ("ommous that there was "no in— dication whatsoever that any meas- ure of retaliation will be taken by the 1's." Since then. however. some \I'ashington officials have ex- pressed Concern that the. proposed Canadian base—line of measuring the 12-mile limit from headland to head- land could restrict US. military operation on the high seas. especial- lv countries follow Can— ada‘s example.

"There, appears." he said. “to be good reason to believe that the notrnal process of negotia- tion has not been] successful in resolving the problem." This difficulty should be ironed out the new be- comes law. The time to discuss its implications will he during commit.- iee reading of the hill. when a full statement on the subject from Mr. Robichaud is expected. Battle Of The Atlantic A decisive factor in terminating the Second World War was the suc- cessful efforts of Britain, Canada and the Ifnited States in keeping open the, shipping lanes of the North Atlantic. It was a long and costly struggle. involving innumerable sacrifices and acts of heroism. which we commemorate tomorrow in naval turnouts and solemn religious ser- vices. It is well that our younger citizens be encouraged to partici- pate. in these activities. for they have a very real meaning for us today. Let us remember how that Battle. of the Atlantic was won. Britain, when it. started, had lost French naval support at the. very moment when its own sea power was ser- iousy crippled by losses incurred in the retreat from Narvik and evac- uation of Dunkirk. The. air and sea power of Italy, reinforced by Ger~ man units. imperilled and eventual- ly barred the direct route to Suez, forcing British shipping to use the long alternative route around the Cape of Good Hope. This cut the before measure total cargo-carrying capacity of the the British merchant marine almost in half at the very moment when German acquisition of naval and air on the west coast of France foreshadowed more destruc- tive attacks on shipping in northern waters. it was at this critical juncture that the United States. though still technically a nonbelligerent. as- sttnted a more positive role. by turning over 50 destroyers to Brit- ain. Early in 1912, the [7.8. be- cattle a l'ull belligerent. and the Axis opened tip a large-scale submarine offensive against coastal shipping in North American waters. Ger- man l'-ttoats operated with dead- Iv force along the south Atlantic shipping lanes as well, to India and the Middle East. Slowly. and with many setbacks, Allied naval power was strength- ened. The convoy system was tight- ened. The Axis effort to halt the. passage of armies and material front this continent to Europe and North Africa. to starve Britain into submission. to prevent supplies reaching the I'SSR and to break up the blockade of Axis Europe. was thwarted. A long and costly struggle. as we. have said: but victory in the At- lantic was achieved. and it victory on which all ottr hopes and fortunes depended at that. time. Let us observe the anniversary worthily. in memory of those who gave their lives to make it possible. bases \VIIS a Uncertainty In Britain When the British Labor Party won its bii.r majority Ill l915. every— one had a clear idea of what to ex- pect. lt set up one of the world's most complete and advanced social- welt'are states. It also nationalized coal. railways. steel. and highway Today. with prospects of another Labor victory at the polls. no one seems to know def- initely what the party stands for. The welfare exists: but nation- alization as a remedy for economic ills has lost some of its political glamor. To find today any abuses or needs comparable to those of 1945 it is necessary to look outside of Western Europe. What further re- forms can Labor put through if and when it sits in the. House of (‘om- mons at \l'estminster with a ma- jority of perhaps a. hundred seats or more? On its left fringe. reportedly, are those who still believe passion— ately in nationalization; hut in the ("entre and Right are many more who notice that wages and working conditions tend to be better in prof- itahle private corporations than in nationalized industries. The. biggest. single cause of cur— rent Complaint among doctrinaire ’Rritish socialists is the school sys- tem. They urge the total abolition of the. public (actually private) schools. And yet some of those most vehement in this cause man— age to send their own children to the most exclusive and expensive of the public schools. This may account that Labor Leader Harold Wilson has geared his campaign to em- phasis on Tory shortcomings rather than on Labor promises. This will leave him with a comparatively free hand if he beComes Britain's next prime minister. Rut for the elec— torate it means that no one. today can he. sure what the anticipated victory would bring.
