Canadians who are inclined to complain about the heavy taxation they have to pay these days. have only to think of the con- quered peoples of Europe to realize how well- o1`l' they are.

E , , , `,1, Last Thursday The Examiner office was 1 visited by the senior pupils of Hillsdale pub- lic school. who came to get first-hand know- Iledge of the production of a newspaper.

When Germany beseiged Paris in 1870 the people of that city were reduced to such a state of starvation that they ate domestic an- imals and even rats. There were finally forc- ed to yield. There is no likelihood that such a state of famine will prevail in France or the other countries during the coming winter. There is no doubt that the present agitation for sending relief to the conquered countries is instigated by Nazi propaganda in an effort to defeat the British blockade. If Hitler can- not hold the countries he has conquered without starving the populations, he is re- ` sponsible for creating those conditions, and ' it is not for the British to go to his aid. ' an average of $4.140 apiece. Some were draw- - ing considerably more than this figure while The resignation of Major Thomas Wayling as Chief Press Liaison Officer of the Depart- ment of National Defence, causes the Toronto Telegram to suggest the demobilization of the publicity corps built up by the Govern- ment in the first year of the war. At the beginning of August there were fourteen publicity men and press liaison officers with staffs in government departments at Ot- tawa. Their annual salaries totalled $58,111. a few others were paid less. It is not un- natural that taxpayers should question the need for an expensive corps of publicity men and display curiosity as to whether they are really promoting the nation's war effort, observed the Telegram. . . . There is no space in the newspapers these days for `can- ned propaganda which government publicity men turn out. Consequently, what is the use of hiring writers to produce it`?--There are few editors who will not agree that little of the matter turned out by these publicity men is used. It is probably not an excessive state- ment to say that eighty per cent of this mat- ter which clutters up the mails finds its way immediately to the waste basket.

The progress of printing might be said to ,run parallel with the -progress of modern civilization. Priming has undoubtedly been _ the chief medium in the spread of knowledge, 1 the advancement of education, science, phil- _ ' nsophy and literature in general. But for the art and industry of printing, the Bible would , still be an unknown book to millions of peo- - _ ple. In what is known as the Dark Ages . books existed only in manuscript and were " only accessible to scholars and the Wel1-to- 1 do. The common people could not read, be- , cause they had nothing to read. It was not .' until Caxton set up his primitive printing `press in Westminster Abbey that the realm of literature was opened up to the people, and from that time onward mankind has moved forward into the light of knowledge. Galileo, Columbus, Shakespeare and Bacon were the products of the printed page. The brilliant Elizabethan era had its birth in the dawn of printing, which not only stimulated the intellect, `but also inspired men with a new `vision of the world. Printing was the great liberator from superstition and feudal- ism; it was the pioneer of democracy. With the speeding up of the process of printing, the newspaper was inevitable, and with the com- {van nc Hm nnurcnannr name 5:. larger freedom Pcnrty of Officials May Go to Britain to Con- The Government has under enn- `siderutiun sending in party of offi- einls headed by an Cabinet Minister to Great Britain to seek closer en- operutimi in meeting United King- dom needs for farm products from Czmuda, it is uffieially stated at O1- t:`.Wl.

Instead of a means of en- lightenment and liberty, printing is being us- ed in Germany as an instrument of popular delusion and suppression. German newspa- pers have deteriorated into propaganda sheets in which the news is deliberately falsi- fied and editorial views are dictated by the leaders of a political party which has taken over the powers of government by force and not by popular election.

During the first ten months of the war these loans amounted to nine billion dollars. taxation and borrowing are insufficient to pay the current cost of the war, and these sources are now being supplemented by the booty which the Nazis are taking from the conquered people of Europe. In commenting upon this. the London Economist says that "the Germans are too clever to resort to the crude form of looting, except in the more remote countries such as Poland. As a gen- eral rule, they pay for everything and pay generously. but with the conquered nation s own money." Moreover, the Nazis exact pay- ment for the upkeep of their armies of occu- pation. The Vichy government of France is now paying $6.000.000 a day for the mainten- ance of the German army of occupation. ta, nus; u..-..- . .-_... 4;.x_..n-. |...--|-.....-L no +kn l I I K But ' .IJVVl',`;L \.'I l'hmu,'_.'.h .

Germany was practically bankrupt at the . outbreak of the war, and the above facts ex- plain their eagerness to conquer neighboring countries at all costs in order to gain control of their stores and wealth. But even these are being rapidly exhausted and Hitler knows that he cannot carry on the war indefinitely unless he can invade and conquer Britain. If it were possible for him to do that, his next move would be to dominate the British Em- pire. and Canada. would be part 0!. the spoils of victory---if he could take it. rn.........n...\.. .01..` .\.... :.....n.....-I on nr\n~\v\`nlI\
