Eleven of thess men will be assigned to the domestic service and five to the Domâ€" inion Government‘s trans â€" Atlantic service which is operated by Transâ€" Canada Air Lines. ‘ "These seasoned flying veterans know that their new jobs will not be the same as warâ€"time flying," Mr. English said, "and they are now being given an opportunity to put the knowâ€" ledge gained in the RC.A.F. together with the commercial training we have In line with Air Lines‘ poltcy of placing veterans of the armed services in jobs wherever possible, the: twelfth and largest, class of 16 repatriated R.C.A.F. pilots has completed â€"training at Stevenson Repatriated R.C.A.F.

Conâ€" trols set up to prevent the public y _~| from carrying out their. wishes, for War .reasons, would, if continued for long, fatally check and depress the energy which will be wanted for the °! restoration of a prosperous. peacetime ' economy. . The choice is yvery clearly one between some confusion as conâ€" _|trols are lifted, and aâ€"lack of active measures to. increase. production in f Canada, which is the sole secreu of, successful conversion.

When it was announced that ithis Department was to be created, we pointed out that a Minister who is to have charge of the whols econâ€" omy of Canada has to be practically ‘a Cabinet in â€" himself. The present} Minister is an active ang energetic individual, who has served Canada very well during the War, even if we!| are bound to record the fact that he has probably made the War cost us at â€"least 40% more â€"than it should havs. On the other hand, his entirel ! record. in public life, is oneâ€" which shows that he is only good at spendâ€" ing public money in colossal sums Given a bottomless treasury, Mr. Howe will provide the nation with everything which even Dr. Monahan would think we should have. Cramâ€" ped by even as spendthrift a Treasuâ€" !ry as we now have at Ottawa, Mr. \Howe is of no further value to us ‘ and the maintenance of his Departâ€" lment is simply an announcement that ; vexatious controlsâ€"are not going to be taken off at all, or as fast as they can be. The Department of Muniâ€" tions and Supply was given to many banquets and jollifications to celebrate its achievements. We shall look with longing for the great, final banquet at which this and the Department of |R°construction congratulate ‘*‘them â€" ,selves oir much good work and much waste, and vanish from our midst. MR. HOWE deserves great praiss for courageously stating that there will be no unemployment if men released from the. ed faorces and War work will take"at least temporarily, whatâ€" ever emplémmnt is available. Thisl statement may bring attncks on the Minister. but it is the most realistic language used by any Oa.bunet Minâ€" ister in Canada in six years. OFFICIAL STATEMENTS that conâ€"| trols ars to be removed as soon as pos sible, must be taken with the greatâ€" est caution, and, indeed, scepticism, until .these controls are actually rcâ€" moved fvices are now emploved in the varâ€" TRANSITION FROM WAR« TO PEACE in Canada can bs comparaâ€" tively easy, provided the Government realizes that the main. task is to reâ€" move controls as rapidly as possible. ofâ€" Militarily unprepared, politicaliy aiâ€" vided, industrially inadequats:, the Chinese people have fouz"ht on.

[ Prejudices which beset the world, Prof Hart said are largely attributâ€" able to the many educational systems, and he advocated the teaching of inâ€" ternational history as a means of counteracting those unnatural views of people who owe allegiance to oâ€" ther flags and faiths than those to which â€" e hold. By substituting knowledge of facts in schools, for history tied to the foreign ‘policy of the teaching nation at the time, man born, that all are of homogeneous nature at birth becoming heterogeneâ€" ous by environment and in the acâ€" quiring of the habits and ideas of those with whom they are associated.
