THE. OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1 4, 1940 PAGE TWO PARLIAMENT T0 HEAR PLANS FOR FEEDING BRITISH (Continued from Page 1) Qanada was bending its efforts. . "Hot House Soldiers" "The 30-day compulsory military training nlan was criticized for its inadequacy by Senator Meighen and, in the Commons, by Capt. C. 8. White (Con, Hastings-Peter- 'Poro). Senator Meighen termed its products "hot house soldiers" while Capt. White submitted that with only one month's training these men would be "only an undisci- plined mob" in an emergency. i Capt. White, appearing in uni- form, criticized the lack of equip- ment provided for his non-perman- ent active militia units, the Has- Hoes and Prince Edward Regiment. e only equipment they had be- sides rifles and bayonets was what they had made themselves, he said. ' A" broad plan for marketing of farm produce through boards producer representation was Said before the Commons by Mr. Qoldwell. The program called for pequisition by these board of all farm produce, at parity prices, and suppression of speculation in food Fs ts, including closing the peg Grain Exchange. Pack- ing and processing plants should be operating under co-operative public ownership. Mr. Coldwell called for appoint- ment of a full-time minister egriculture.

Tell and Retell Heroic Details Jervis Bay Fight (Continued from Page 1) Jervis Bay was a fitting epitaph for a British naval man: "Am closing up closer to the enemy," he radioed the convoy In 15 minutes his brave ship was helpless and in something more than 70 minutes she had to be abandoned, "an inferno, fore and aft." One arm shot away, Captain For- garty went down with his ship The master of the Stureholm, stocky Captain Sven Olander, "didn't have the heart to leave the men of the Jervis Bay in the water and although safely on his way back to Canada due to the action of the armed merchantman, he turned about to pick them up. "By jove," said one the rescued ratings, "that Swede was a God- send!" It is now known that at least 30 of the 38 ships in the convey are safe. But for the action of the Jervis Bay, many would never have docked with supplies for Britain again. For two of the rescued seamen reaching here there was news that their home in the Old Country had been bombed. Able Seaman John Barker of London was told his home had been destroyed but his Seaman Frank learned his wife), sister, nephew and moth- had been taken to hos- the bombing of his mother, pital after EXPECT ANOTHER UPON INDO-CHINA Belief Grows Nipponese Plan to Occupy Entire French Colony By CLARK LEE (Associated Press Staff Writer) Shanghai, Nov. 14 (AP)--Foreign | today Japan was preparing for another | move in the near future against French Indo-China, possibly ending the shaky sovereignty of that French colony. | Chinese newspapers contended Japan was aiming-at permanent oc- | cupation of all French Indo-China. Chinese reported new Japanese | demands on the colony included the right to land troops at the southern port of Saigon, circulation of Jap- | ilitary yen throughout the ry d "loans" of 500,000 Indo- China dollars a month to finance exports to Japan, Foreign sources lacked informa- tion whether such demands actually had been presented but said current | developments did point to another | Japanese move against Indo-China ndment to the address in reply | the speech from the throne, re- ting the adopt a monetary policy which uld permit a maximum war ef- without increasing debt or tax- fptlon, and declaring the view that | government's failure | 5 nt financial policy would de- | { y - the liberties essential to a rue democracy. In his speech he warned that ex- jon of national credit need not t in inflation. There were | only two ways of dealing with in- flation--either cut down the amount of money in circulation or increase Ahe supply of goods in circulation. * Joseph Thorson (Lib., Selkirk) endorsed the recommendations of the Rowell-Sirois commission. A ,pational reform program was need- 'ed immediately to enable Canada wo 'make its maximum war contribu- #lon and to lay the foundation for 8 strong Canada. More Necessary Now "I cur financial structure was mtterly inadequate for Canada in time of peace, it is even more ne- oessary now than it would be in peacetime to make the changes re- commended by the report," he said. Senator Meighen urged the gov- ernment to concentrate on helping Britain, even at the risk of facing some local schisms. "If any in this oountry in the party which I be- long are instrumental in digging up these schisms," he sald, "I will "oppose them and support the gov- s@mnment." 2 "What I fear is that we are not ecting our efforts toward the es- tial, vital end," Senator Meighen tinued. "I fear we are dissipat- #ne our efforts and our substance #p activities which appear fine and ular but which never will win war. If the history of national icts has taught us anything it is that there is only one way to a war, and that is by having e decisive forces at the decisive int at the decisive time = "Is Canada contributing to that Fay of achieving victory by sending the actual theatres something than 50,000 men?" == Senator Dandurand in his speech Haid Canada was answering the call sor whatcver Britain asked. Today, itain was not asking for a single tan for a regiment on the other e. & "Just now Great Britain is only isking us for what we are helping r with, and we are helping to $the full in what she wants from Let there be no misunderstand- , if no more men are being sent is because they are not asked." in the near future. The Japanese already have won alr -bases and other military con- cessions and stationed troops in | Northern Indo-China. Foreign officials saw another im- mediate source of danger to Indo- China In the current tension with Thailand (Siam). It was held likely that any serious clash between the two might be used as a Japanese pretext for landing troops and 're- storing .order." Thus squeezed by Thailand on the west and Japanese military and naval forces on the north and east, it was believed possible that Indo- China would surrender its sover- eignty in fact if not in name, with- out attempting an armed defence. Some colonial leaders, including a number who favor the Free French movement of Gen. Charles De Gaulle and who oppose yielding to | Japan are gathered at Saigon, but | they lack the forces necessary to put | up a successful fight. In preparation for further moves, | Japanese forces have been concen- trated at the islands of Halnan and Formosa since midsummer and re- cently have been enlarged materially by the addition of troops withdrawn from the South China province of | Kwangsi and irom the Yangtse val- ley. In addition, as far as is known, there are some 15,000 Japanese troops from Kwangsl province still at Haiphong, Indo-China port, plus the 6,000 garrisoned there under the Sept. 22 agreement hetween Indo- China and Japan. Chinese newspaper reports assert- ed Japanese troop transports were standing by in preparation to land to enforce any Japanese demands. While these forces could be used to thrust either at Indo-China or the Netherlands East Indies, in- formed observers believed the form- er more likely would come first, since the Japanese appeared confi- dent the move could be carried out without definite retaliations from the United States, whereas immed- iate counter-action was feared in any attack on the Indies. British strategists are Lnown to be deeply concerned by the liklihood of Japanese control of Southern Indo-China, for Japanese troops there could move unopposed across Thailand and blockade the Malay peninsula in the event of a British- Japanese conflict. .

Instead of bringing the trade into the cities or towns paying part of the cost of road improvement, the improved roads have sent trade on elsewhere at the expense, partially, of local merchants, as in Oshawa's case.
