Quebec (CP) -- Present restric- tions on buying may cause unem- ployment, W. F. Holding of Toron- to, president of the Canadian Ma- nufacturers' Association, said to- day. Addressing the association's an- nual meeting Mr. Holding said that "credit restrictions, special excise taxes and other provisions of the last budget, prophesy an early con- traction in consumer buying and therefore, in production of consum- er goods. : '"Yet, except in a few selected industries, such as the manufac- ture of airplanes and railroad equipment I have seen little evid- ence that re-armament production will take up the slack in the em- ployment of labor, plant and equip- ment, which will be released by the curtailment in the production of consumer goods. . . "Are we to assume, without more positive assurances than we have yet had, that our manufacturing facilities are to be used for the production of armaments? If so, what time lapse is there to be be- tween the cessation of consumer production and the commencement of armament production? . .. "I have been wondering, too, whether the standardization of arms with the United States will not result in our purchasing a sub- stantial part of our requirements from that country. "It has been suggested that the U. 8. government will be' placing | orders with Canadian manufactur- ers for its requirements of certain armaments. Past experience with trying to sell the U, S. any manu- factured goods which they are able to produce at home, with U. 8. labor, leaves me very skeptical as to the extent to which our Can- adian workers will find employ- | ment in this direction..." | Speaking 'of inflation, Mr. Hold- | ing said the post-war economy has | been "asked to provide far more in the way of civilian require-| ments than our present rate of] productivity will permit. "Industrialists are willing and | anxious to improve the standard of | living of industrial workers and of | the Canadian people as a whole. They are also in favor of social | services and state aid for the aged and needy -- but they recognize that no individual, no company, no government, can give more than it has ... *"The lack of vision of some union leaders, (and lack of vision is the most charitable way of describing their attitude), has effectively blocked the industrialists' efforts to increase production. They have de- manded, not only increased wages to maintain and improve the stand- ard of living of their members, re-. gardless of the needs of the rest of the community, but have also in- sisted on reduced hours of work. ."

English Village Of Shin-Kicking Chipping Campden, England(CP) The ancient and not-so-honor- able pastime of shin-kicking has been revived in this historic Glou- cestershire village after a lapse of 100 years. This rugged form of diversion, which even in olden days was branded as 'cruel', was reintro- duced by farmer Ben Hopkins, 34, and Joe Chamberlain, 28-year-old chemist's dispenser, as part of the local Festival of Britain cele- bration. When shin-kicking contests were at the height of popularity from 1605 to 1851, crowds of more than 25 000 howling fans were attracted to the blood-letting battles. The turnout for the Hopkins Chamber- lain brawl, however, was on a more modest scale. The curious Cotswold villagers who formed a ring around the glad- iators on Dover's hill, dispersed quickly to the nearest pubs when Chamberlain planted his steel-tip- ped boot on his opponent's ankle groaning. The bout ended amicably enough with the two men reclining on the ground nursing their bruises and sharing a gallon of cider -- the loser's award. To the winner went a champion- ship belt which must be defended next year. But Chamberlain indicated he might let his title go by default. SEE N. S.

He does not fight as well as the Chinese who skilfully brought him- self within arm's length of posi- tions occupied by the Princess Patricias the night of April 24-25, then waged a determined all-night battle for possession of a hill. Lieut. Felix (Wayne) Wingfield of Louisville, Ky., commander of a U.S. tank platoon supporting the Patricias, recently had a field day of slaughter when his Patton tanks moved forward on patrol ahead of the Canadian positions. Wingfield's tanks killed "at an extremely modest estimate," 150 Chinese: He said afterward: "They're not the same men we've met before. John never used to offer himself as a target--He used to use cover. And he certainly never skylined hinself." That means silhouetting y ou r- self on a ridge-top. 'He did everything wrong today --even trying to out-run shells.' Incident by incident, in a series that would take a book to recount, Wingfield's tanks knocked off the enemy in twos, threes and fours during a day that ended almost at dusk, when they returned to the Patricias' sector. "You can see. they're green| troops," he said in the command | post occupied by Maj. Vince] Lilley of Hamilton, one his tanks | were positioned for the night.

You never did use to see the Chinese at all. "But you've got to say one thing for them; they're eager. They keep on fighting. Maybe fanatical." Fanatical might be the word. Or hungry. Capt.

He has maintained for some time that "John is hungry." spoke with one the day after Winlgfield's "hungt." The interrogation over, the pris- oner was cramming his mouth with army biscuits when Capt.
