THE WAR • WEEK â€" Commentary on Current bvenis Allies' Anzio Beachhead Withstands Repeated Heavy German Attacks /iuiniKUininrA ..Two Allied battlefields in the maps above are separated by 50 miles, varying from the mountainous terrain near Cassino to the swamp- land south of Rome. Nazi legions are attacking the Anzio-Nettuno beachhead in force, while Allied armies are seelang a break-through in the Cassino bulge. Lower map shows locations in Italy of close-ups shown at top. Thanks to the valor and deter- tnination of the American :ind Bri- tisli .soldier the ininiediale danger to the Allied bcacliliead at .\nzio ap- pears tc have passed. With the return of weather wliicli permits the resumption of air operations the .\llics Iiave renewed llieir offcn.sive. The fi(,'!itiiiK is still indeterminate, hut the tide seems to Ije running in our favur, and if tliis view is correct the .\nzio battle has already achieved one iniportaut result. It lias roljbed Hitler of a quick and inipres.sive victory for which lie tried Iiard â€" a victory which was to demonstrate his continued striking power for the benefit of Germany's own morale and tliat of her satel- lites, and to impress both Kussia and the Western -Mlics with tlie hopelessness of any new invasion and a new front in Europe. What- ever further results tlie /\nzio battle may produce, the frustration of Hitler's calculations will alone jus- tify its cost, says The New York Times. But the stuljborn resistance wliich the Germans are putting up, both around Anzio and at (.'as.sino, is a renewed warning that even after niore than four years of war Ger- many is still a powerful enen\y. Neither defeats in the field nor the wholesale bombings of (iernian cities and war factories have boon able thus far to break German fighting morale. Nor, jitdginK from reports from the front, have (ierman anus diminished either in (juantity or in quality, cxf.ept for the relative de- crea.sc of German air power. In fact some (iernian weapons are de- clared to be even superior to our own. And v.ith the approach of spring, which promises at least temporary .surcease from Kussian pressure Nazi hopes fur prolong- ing' the war are ri>iiig agaiti. Fight from Room to Room The Italian campaign cannot bt- f.onsidered wholly typical of what Allied invasion forces would lace In b'raiice. I'or in Italy the Allie."* have been confronted with the same difficulties v.liicli llie Germans fared in the mountains of the Catirasus snd about Stalingrad. Mountaiii.'i arc natural fortresses wliicli alsvay.s favor the deicn.se, and cilic< wliicli the defender i« willing to sacrifice can be converted into similar atrongboldi, 'That was shown by Madrid in the .""panisli civil war, shown by Leningrad, and in su- preme measure by .Stalingrad. I'iiongh on a smaller scale, it is again being shown by (~assino. for here, as at Stalingrad, the fight it proceeding from building to building and from room lo room. Lesson Of Campaign Nevertheless, the lessons of the Italian campaign and the asctrtaiii- ablc results of the bombings have been such that a good deal of the unwarranted optisism of a few months ago, about the war in Kuiopc being "all but over," has disappeared. Even military quar- ters arc begiiuiing to revise their timetable of victory. And this adds new ciiii)hasis to the qualifi- cation which General Eisenhower attached to his famous prediction: victory is possible this year, but only if "every man and woman, all the way from the front to the remotest hamlet, docs his or her full dutv." British Warships Rehearse Battle A little glimpse of the Royal Navy at its deadly games is given in a London despatch which tells of the careful plans made for dis- ])osing of the German battleship Schaniliorst should she come out of hiding and give battle, says the Ottawa Journal. Several' times the l-iritish war- ships in Northern waters rehearsed for the big day they lujped would come. A British ship represented the Scharnhor.st, went through the motions of attacking a convoy, of running for safety, using every protective and defensive device the oiieiny might be expected to bring into play. Most of the ships actually engaged when the .Scliarn- liorst did finally come out took part in the manoeuvres, and we are Told llierc was an amazing simi- larity lietwecn the atcua! action and the rcliearsaU. This was iiitcUigeut anticipation of tilings to come, and but for these careful preparations the Scli.iriihnrsl might have escaped. Mustang Is Answer To New Nazi Plane the r.rilisli-Dciigned, American- liiiilt Mustang plane apparently is n ore than the answer to tlie new O'.rman rocket bomb plane, says J 'le Kamas City Times. In tlieir first fifteen nii.isions the Alu'itangs have destroyed or damaged eighty- seven German plane* with lh« lois of only sijc Mustangj. Th«8e fighter planes have such • long radiui of operations that they liav« hsen able to escort American bombers to wilbin 100 milpii of Itei'lin. British Do Real Job of Salvage i "All Sorts of 'Weird Things" Handled In Twelve Huge Warehouse* Scattered throughout the Brit- ish Isles are twelve huge ware- houses filled with Army, Navy and Air Force clothing and other ma- terials, relates the St. Thomas Times-Journal. Samples of these goods fill shelves of an office of the Ministry of Supply in London where experts decide what can be done with all the stuff. They han- dle everything in the textile line, also old ropes from the Navy, hose pipes, camotiflage nets, used para- chutes, old or obsolete towing tar- gets for the n.A.F., and, as a re- cent speaker on the B.B.C. stated, "all sorts of weird things." In one month, l.SOO.OOO items of outer clothing were sorted and graded in these depots. A vast amount of repair work is done, but what is not repairable is used in a multitude of ways. A great deal of the stuff will he converted to relief of the populations when the occupied countries are liberated. Wornout battle dresses are re- paired, dyed bro'wn and become suits for prisoners of war, or they may he dyed green for agricultural . workers, or for workers In var- loi'is war industries. One important â- wartime discovery has been how to take the shrink- age out of socks. The Ministry of Supply has millions of paira of socks and stockings which had been worn by members of the wo- men's divisions. By a process known as "dcf"ltinK," the shrink- age is removed, and the socks and stockings are repaired and made as 1 good as new. From old hose pipes overshoes are made for men loading tankers so that they will not make sparks â- with their feet. These pipes are also made into snow-shoes and In- to mittens for women handling steel sheets with sharp edges. The cotton from R..\.F. towing targets la made into rain-water catching sheets and the netting from the end of the target is made into vegetable bags for the Navy and for ice bags. The cottou fabric. of anti-gas capes is de-oiled and used for superfine wiping rags. Various kinds of cotton fabric, useless for making up, go back to the services as w^iping rags. Three thousand tons of wiping rags a year are supplied by the disposal department. Oily rags are de-oil- ed and cleaned until they fall to pieces and then they are pulped for paper. Old tentage is used for making a new type of kit hag for the A.T. S. and the W.A..\.F's. The old type is awkward for a girl to handle. It Is too heavy to sling onto her shoulder and too long to carry l)y the string, so many of the girls got the habit of dragging them along the ground. The new type Is shaped like a sports bag with two canvas ropo handles. It opens lengthways and is fa.-;tened by press studs. The shiii's ropes have the worn outer fibre removed and the inner fibres are rt^spwn. The worn fibres go to paper manufacturers for a special kind of paper used In plas- tics. The A.T.S. girls have a shouklor bag when walking out. and those are now made from the sleeves of firemen's coats, with a zip fasttiuer from a bomber pilot's harness. tJlider tow ropes ai'e re- modeled (o make ropes for boxlug rings and for lug-of-war contests. From old charts of bluo-prints very fine linen luindkerohiet's are made. Many prewar Army uniforms are sent in, aiwl one of the uses to which they are put is to sell them to film companies for old battle scenes. Another extraordinary job of salvage has boon the canvas from blitzed premises and asbestos â- wool from gas respirators •which have been converted Into heavily padded suits for the men who train the l)ull-ma«tiffs that guard air- dromes. "Waste not, want not," Is an old motto. Ilrltaln has learned lessons that will be most valuabUi «ft«r the war. An cstiiiiatc that Japajicse fac- tories are turniug out aircraft at • rate of l,S(tO or more a month came from high quarter.s, coupled with a report that tlie Japaneseâ€"like the Germans â€" are concentrating signi- ficantly oil defensive types. For Faster RelM of CHEST COLDS Muscular Aches & Pains Tired Burning Feet MASSAGE WELL WITH UCKLEY WHITE RUB OTTAWOEPORTS That Discharged Servicemen Ar« Advised to Take Jobs Now And Save For Placement on Farms Later In view of what Iiappciied last time, the question of .Service men going farming after the war is apt to be looked on with a pretty big question mark in rural communi- ties. As far back as l'.)ll, when the Department of Pensions and Na- tional Health sponsored the Order- in-Council known as "The Post- Discharge Rehabilitation Order," careful consideration has been given to farm settlement as to other phases of re-establislinient, and the plans set up seek to avoid pitfalls of the period following 1918. While employment is at its peak men interested in farming who are being'cufrently discharged are ad- vised to take jobs and to save for later investment in agriculture, ac- cording to officials in charge of re- habilitation. To date very few have been set up under the Re- establishment Order. « * * Those eligible jnust have had previous satisfactory practical ex- perience ill farming, or may quali- fy after serving apprenticeship witli a successful farmer in addi- tion to having served in a theatre oi war, or had not less than 12 months' service, or be in receipt of a pension. • Tlie Veterans' Land Act 1942 provides a maximum of S4,800 on land, and a maximum of $1,200 on equipment. A tenth of the value of the land, (in the case of $1,800, the amount would be -SJRO), must be paid for in casli and two-thirds of the property value over a per- iod of :.'.'i years with interest at 3^2%. The cost of equipment is not repaid, and no annual instal- ment is over $195 including in- terest. A veteran who has a job and wants to buy a small farming property nearby comes within the .same limits as to amount and con- ditions of payment. >;; » ♦ A .vetcran'wlio owns a farm may secure through the Veterans' Land Act funds to pay off a mortgage, make necessary improvements, or buy additional stock and equip- ment, lie may borrow up to $3,- 200 (but not more than 00% of the value of liis property), to pay- off a mortgage, or up to $:j,300 (but not more than 50% of the value), to pay for equipment. The loan is secured by mortgage at 3',j% pay- able over 25 years. Available to those buying farms are properties bought by the Gov- ernment for soldier rehabilitation, or properties chosen individually so long as these are approved and come within the price limits set by the Veterans' Land .\ct. « * * For several weeks purchases of bacon for the United Kingdom have averaged over ."20,000,000 pounds, an average of which if kept up for fifty weeks out of the Htri SARGE WHERE'S YOUR MINARO'S SOLDIiiiS, RUB OUT TIRED ACHES Easy to roll, delightful â€" to smoke FINE CUT CIGARETTE TOBACCO year would mean 1,000,000,000 pounds of bacon, Hon. J. G. Gar- diner, Minister of Agriculture told the House of Commons recently. Mr. Gardiner said little value should be attached to rumors of a meat shortage when replying to J. H. Blackmore, Social Credit leader in the Federal House as to whether there might be a beef shortage next year. Explainiijg the present surplus, he said this was due to lack of shipping and steps have been taken to divert addi- tional ships to Canadian ports not only to handle additional bacon stocks, but also to lift surplus quantities of beef and mutton, and recently the Meat Board was able to accept immediate shipment of some seven million pounds of beef. The Minister felt there is every reason to believe that in future all surplus beef available will be handled and lifted as offered for export. With plans in hand to ex- port also accumulated stocks of mutton and lamb, a better market for this class of livestock is in sight. The Reason Why- Malta Is British ilalta has a wartime history that goes back to the time of the great Phoenician traders, says the Ot- tawa Citizen. .\s the island of Mal- \. ta, of course, it has its place in Bible history, for it is the island converted to Christianity by St. Paul; who was shipwrecked upon it while a prisoner of the Ro- mans. During the Crusades the Knights of St. John were granted Malta and they held it throughout the great siege against the Turks. As the centuries passed, the knightly order fell into disrepute. With the coming of the French Revolution, by which time the pre- ponderance of tile French Knights witliin the order had upset the in- ternational equilibrium, conditions became hopelessly disrupted. Later when Napoleon set out to conquer Europe he took posses- sion of the island. Native Maltese liatriots, however. resisted the French, and in the knowledge of the presence of the T^nglish fleet under Nelson in the Mediterran- ean, tlie Maltese, under Canon Caruatia, appeared to the admiral to take possession of the island in the name of His Majesty. The llritish Empire has grown in many strange ways. But Malta is Ihitish because it wanted to be. .'\nd now, as Malta, G.C., the George Cross having been award- ed by the King in recognition of the stand of the island against an- other enemy, it is doubtless still content to remain so.
