banks and mercantile stores are smarting under the conditions of the unemployment insurance act whereby these people are required to pay into this fund- from which they can hope to receive no benefits bank clerksfor instance are never put on part time and there v fore receive no benefit likewise scores of other persons are forced to contribute to the fund who will never benefit from it why then they rightly ask should they be forced to pay insurance for some one else an insurance that is noth ing more than a tax it is disappointing that the dominion government is coming to the country at this time with no promise of cor- recting these conditions if elected those who are smart ing under the injustice will remember this on election day but more important is it that they register their protest openljf to their respective candidates and exact a promise ofjiavihg the act more fairly administered were still at war donald gordon reminds canadians v commenting on a statement made by prime minister mackenzie king about relaxation of wartime restrictions donald gordon declared that the system of controls would be intelligently done away with only at the proper time we cannot proceed with the removal of many restrictions until our actual war production has been curtailed you must remember we still have the japanese war on our hands mr gordon said- canadians he indicated should not be too optimistic about immediate production of many kinds of civilian goods available material and manpower will condition such production many shortages exist and some of these will become more severe due to world supply shortages the nazis offered goering tothewdrld as thgffat petfonius of pagan germany the knightly swashbuckler the smiling interpreter of bad faithandjthebrokenword second among the supermen but he was a thief and a killer he looted empires arid stole fortunes- he genially and ruthlessly he headed the prussian police when they were rooting out the last vestiges of freedom in germany he fired the reichstag he shaped the weapon with which germany meant to conquer the world the dreaded luftwaffe he sent it on a flying mission of ahni- hilation over rotterdam when resistance had ceased as an objectlesson when the luftwaffe failed against eng- land goering began to pass under the shadow of himmler the coldhearted executioner toward the end with every wall toppling about him with every avenue of escape block ed he disappeared from the headlines but his crimes are crimson he cannot escape them now for all his batons his medals arid his uniforms goering is a captive niemoeller is free the paths of no two men ever led to greater contrast in the last war both were brave officers goering in the air niemoeller on the sea both enrolled under hitlers swastika banner but niemoeller only until he discovered it signalled a descent into hell no persecution could shake his conscience once he took his stand goering the gross materialist never had a conscience for him the dark descent was easy- today he stands deep in the pit into which he did so much to plunge his country we are starting to cleanse that pit the big goerings and the little quislings both look vainly for escape theland and the people remain a vast desolation butwhile niemoeller livens at least one lonely star shines over- geririany goering and niemoeller t from the new york times- genriany once a christian nation believed in adolf hitlermartin niemoeller believed in god becausethe stead fast pastor refused to turn fromgod and obey hitler he spent eight years in nazi concentration camps three days before germany crashed to utter ruin he was freed by american troops his first words- to the german people weref turn againto god rqrieday after to goering was dragged- from his hiding place he is the foremost war criminal to be captured thus far characteristicallyhe came out whinning because he wanted to surrender he complained he was arrested and ordered executed ohno hesvas no longer one of hitlers henchmen not one of these war criminals i will be but the reichsmarshal served the devil well as hilters loyal paladin he waxed in power until on sept 1 1939 he was chosen as heir to the leadership of the third reich a new target for mitch would destroy ontario and sowing seeds of dis unity no friends these- are not the germans that are referred to it is merely mitch hepburn railing about george drew his guns are being aimed at the ontario premier instead of the prime minister of canada for this election prices higher in the usa a comparison of prices in canada and the united states is convincing evidence of the greater effectiveness of the dominions price control system evidently in the united states freezing of prices was delayed until a con- siderable climb in prices had taken place visitors to the united states in recent months have noted the contrast and incidentally this has placed a damper on any tempta- tion one might have for bringing back a few articles of wearing apparel or gifts meals too are noticeably higher across the line and stress is laid in printed menus and on notices in restaurants that the prices quoted are those that were in effect april 4 to 10- 1943 that date it will be noted is sixteen months after pearl harbor to illustrate prices of meals one might mention that in a coffee shop of a hotel inchicago a very ordinary break fast costs 65c as compared about 40 cents in toronto luncheon and othermeal prices were similarly higher than in canada it is doubtful if canadian restaurants are mak- ing any money at present prices in spite of their permitted charge of five cents extra for beverage however they have the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping to maintain the price ceiling which is so allessential in war- time v our capital correspondent written expressly for the stouitvillc tribune by dean wilson x k2 i it is quite clear in wellinformed circles backstage in ottawa that the endof the war in europe will not tiring the expected results in relaxa- r tion of war effort or- wartime con trols for canadians judging by the reaction- of the average man arid woman throughout this country where it was believed that almost complete relaxation of such effort or controls would accompany ve day consequentlythereare a good many people who are disappointed though these people should not have expected too much especially in view of the war against japan being intensified ather than eased at this stage moreover restrictions in canada will have to be balanced with the needs of supply in other united nations as well as devastat ed europe in other words man power and materials must be con trol led to a certain extentfor a cer tain time in order to create suehan economic balance so that officials in ottawa stress now a need by the common man and woman for con sideration of these factors thus relaxation of some degree maybe expected in certain directions as conditions permit whether this will involve luxury or necessity being no longer a consideration this was shown only lately in the dis closure that sugar was in short supply now more than at any time during x war in europe this was shown in the hint that gaso line restrictions may be eased con siderably in time this was shown mcft0 jjliuj idijjtfp xi wl unit y 5 forward with the or

public cordially invited i- god save the king r v in suggestion that liquor distribu tion may be mademore liberal soon this was shown in the exten sion of some control only lately over clothing and textiles since these are needed badly in europe in short relaxations will come in some directions but controls orre strictions may even be extended in others generally it is expected that- relaxations may be a fact more and more in efforts to help housing such as greater release of steel wood tin hardware and so forth but it is not expected that much relief may be forthcoming for at least a littlevtime- in the fields of clothing textiles and food especial ly since these are in greater de mand today than ever before both at homo and in europe indeed estimates of food supplies fnovipg into civilian consumption in can ada during thejast twelve months period according to the latest in formation in ottawa do not show any material changes from the pre vious twelve months except in fruits and vegetables where better than average crops together with greater imports resulted in the sub stantial improvement in per capita supplies though the needs today are greater than at any other time behind the tremendous work accomplished by canadas delega tion at the world security confer ence at san francisco there have been many deeds which were not fully nor properly revealed to the man-in-the-street- across this coun try though these achievements of this delegation composed of practic ally all political parties in the house of commons are recognized along parliament hill canadas delegation made certain contribu tions or suggestions for the crea tion iof this permanent pattern of world peace inorder to strengthen the functions of the general assemb ly- which is the principal body of this world security organization and the functional basis of the se curity council particularly- adding the usefulness of socalled middle or smaller powers in addition to its composition of the permanent big five seats of the major powers in fact canada emphasized properly tharthe significance of a nation whether middle or smalr should be adjudged on the estimate of its past- contribution to the common cause in men muni tions and money arid its likely con tribution in future- in the same things rather than the mere popu lation of any nation but there is another extremely important thing which every man and woman in canada who is interested in- the establishment of this world machin ery for stopping wars in future should know and that is that can adas delegation did much more than appearedmn the news work ing behind the scenes as a sort of watchdog for the common good of all and aiding the comriion cause of peace by throwing its weight be hind those suggestions or amend- mentsiwhich were akin to canadas view rather than put them forth arid prolonging deliberations un necessarily even without getting credit for them just as problems of demobiliza tion have come to the forefront now in ottawa it can be reported that the cailup system for compul sory military service and its rela tion to national selective service has been in the limelight along parliahient hill where it is indicat ed that the techniques involved in ending the callup system are under careful study already- it is known that the director of national selec tive service arthur macnamara has sent a telegram to chairriien and registrars of mobilization boards across canada urging theni to relax pressure immediately for cancellation of postponements for industry of those over- twentyfive years of age and those working in war industries textiles lumbering base metal and farming other changes are expected in time so that the whole system may be alter ed radically before long though a report heard in ottawa insinuates that there will be no sharp cut in military inducflons in the united states in the immediate future under present plans the huge amount of mail sent put from
