Mr. Drew said the people of Canada have been told that "we have the best aircraft, the best engines, the best guns and the best bazookas, and so on. . ." "Most of the things about which we have been given such glowing descriptions are not yet in pro- duction in Canada." After three years of "greatly publicized rearmament," Canada is in a position of "tragic weak- ness." Mr. Drew added: "A good starting point in meet- ing this problem, and meeting this problem with full knowledge of the facts, would be to fire every one of those propagandists who have been issuing these flowing stories from the Department of National | Defence. "Remember, we have an fective procedure by which people of Canada can. be what is being done. When our units have the kind of equipment they should have, when they are doing the kind of training they should be doing under conditions of this kind, when their numbers are adequate for the task with which we are confronted, then let the trained representatives of the press of Canada see those units, see t iareirsgretetiheainnndh see their training and see their equipment. ef- | the| "They will tell the people of Can- ada the accurate facts, as they have been doing for years when they were given that opportunity. "All the action and all the work of that group of men who have been employed strictly for pro- paganda purposes has been to mis- lead the people of Canada as. to what the facts actually are. What we want to know, what the people of Canada want to know, is this: What is the situation in this grave period, the gravest period Canada has known outside of periods of general war. "A good point also would be to make sure that when the units are equipped, when they are put through their training and when they are carrying out their demon- strations, no part of that training and no part of their equipment shall be withheld from normal in: spection by members of the press of this country unless it is something obviously of a very se- cret nature." Mr. Shaw said that in his opin- ion too much money is being spent by the public relations branches of the three armed services. "There is a great deal of dupli- cation and there is a great deal of material going out to certain news- paper publishers that often is not published because of the fact that it serves no useful purpose in that particular community," said Mr, Shaw. Fire Power and Mobility hould Be Aim for Army Says Drew in Commons Ottawa (CP) -- George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, said yesterday that Canada, in stead of sending defence forces to Europe at this time, should con- centrate on the training at home of fast, hard-hitting, mobile mechanized units. He told the Commons that Can-| ada and the Unjted States should supply the equipment needed to arm the men available in Europe. Canada should concentrate on the training of units that could be moved quickly to trouble spots. Mr. Drew spoke before adoption of a resolution establishing a 26- man committee to investigate de- fence expenditures. The resolution was welcomed by members of all | parties. M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, and F. D. Shaw (SC--Red Deer) said similar committees had worked ef- ficently during the last war. Prime Minister St. Laurent said the committee would not be asked to decide on matters of policy. Its duty would be to see that value is being obtained for money spent on defence. Mr. Drew, a veteran of the First World War, said it is 'obvious that "the ultimate issues as to world peace or world war are going to be decided' in Europe and the Mid- dle East rather than in Korea. RUSSIAN STRENGTH The latest issue of Brassey's armed services year book disclosed | that the Russians have 14,800,000 trained men who could be put into the field within 60 days. The Rus- sian navy had some 380 submarines ap another 120 under construc- on. The western world was faced with the fact that it must make every man and woman in uniform much more effective than their counterparts in the Russian armed forces. The Canadian brigade in Korea and the brigade going to Europe were well trained, but he did not think they represented the "high- est possible hitting power per man." "Mr. Drew added: "It would seem that economy of '| highest possible measure of hitting effort would suggest that those forces which have the lowest hit-. ting power per man can be raised near the danger spot, should be raised there whereas the forces which must be moved a long dis- tance should be forces with the power. "Every single man that is moved thousands of miles away from Can- ada involves not only the move- ment of that man and his equip- ment, but also a commitment to move food, supplies, ammunition and all the other requirements of the men in the field over thous- ands of miles, which, in the event of war itself, would be threatened by the most modern aircraft and the most modern submarines. MAXIMUM HITTING POWER "A simple rational approach to this problem suggests that here in Canada we should not be training the mass formations with low in- dividual hitting power: we should be training fast hard - hitting armored units, with the high- est possible hitting power per man, We should also be concent- rating as we have been told we would concentrate, on the air pow- er which can be moved with the utmost safety to any danger point, or for that matter to any part of the world. "With this situation in front of us, it seems clear that the United States and Canada each, in pro- portion to its own producing ca- pacity, must, to a very consider- able extent, be the arsenals of Europe, and alo to a substantial degree the rest of the world as well. "That being so, it would seem that our effort should be directed to supplying the weapons and equipment of all types needed for the land froces in these critical areas where the men can be raised armed, equipped and trained, while we concentrate on compact, hard- hitting and extremely mobile forces which can make the most effective use of the transportation supplies available, whether by air or by sea."

NORTH GREECE AREA IS RICH IN MINERALS BY SAM MODIANO Athens (Reuters) -- The "poor" northern provinces of Greece could be rich, but the peasants stick to growing tobacco instead of develo ing the land's mineral wealth. Experts consider Northern Greec | (Macedonia and Thrace) to be one of the richest areas in the Balkan peninsula--potentially, It is a re- gion whose wealth has not been explored or expoited. vulnerable part of the country, ly- ing along the border of the iron curtain, they are the provinces which could put the Greek economy bak on its feet. Recent geological surveys have revealed there is manganese, lead, zinc and copper under the moun- tain ranges of this region. The greatest mineral asset of Northern Greece is lignite. In the Of this are known to exist, while more optimistic estimates bring the deposits up to between two and four billion tons. Properly developed, #he Ptole- mais mines could replace the Bit- uminous cola imported by Greece and cover the country's require- ments of solid fuel. Plans have been prepared for the establish- | ment of a thermoelectric generat- using lignite as fuel. Also under consideration is nitrogen fertilizer factory n the northern region. Cheap electrical power woul® promote industrial development in | the northern provinces. Local indus | tries are able to find on the spot all the raw material needed, from cotton for textiles to timeber for the wood industries and 'mineral ores for metal factories. But while prospects for the fu- ture are good, Macedonia and Thrace remain at present chiefly agricultural areas, with the largest part' of the land devoted to to- bacco cultivation. "Macedonia and Thrace live on Tobacco' is the prewar slogan which sticks in thé mind of peas- ants, workers and traders in this region. The slogan was true until 1940. Pre-war Germany was buying at | high rates most of the Greek tob- | acco production. The tobacco was | dumped in overseas countries against hard currency, The Greeks were repaid with manufactured goods from Germany, ranging from aspirin to haberdashery and heavy machinery. With the end of the war, hund- reds of thousands displaced Greek peasants returned to their homes and fields Instead of cultivating food for their tables, starved vil- lagers walked for miles each morn- ing to tiny plots carrying two heav cans of water, to water their to- bacco plants. They still cannot realize that the war has changed the Greek econ- omic outlook, that virginia tobac- co has conquered Europe. They stil hope for a high profit from a handful of oriental tobacco. In a speech delivered at Salonica Marshall Plan Chief Roger Lap- ham said: "Thousands of acres are producing substandard tobac- co. This land could be used for the production of food and fibre. The dependence of farm-families on the one-crop system must be broken in Northern Greece." ka STUFFY NOSE ?

San Antonio, Tex. -- Discovery of X-rays from the sun has just been reported. The rays assist radio broadcast- ing. They are so mild your shirt would be a good protective shield against them. The discovery is a surprise. The sun was not supposed to be broad- casting X-rays. The rays were reported to the United States Air Force sympo- sium on physics and medicine of {the upper atmosphere. The rays {were found by detectors in V-2 and other rockets fired at White Sands, New Mexico. They were found by means of photographic film, Geiger counters, and scintil- lation counters. These X-rays are not very pene- trating and do not come down in the atmosphere much: loWer than 50 miles overhead. The air absorbs them. This absorbtion explains their role in helping radio broadcasting. They electrify (ionize) a layer of atmosphere that reflects radio broadcast signals. Natural scientists have been puzzled about the origin and action of this layer. It 'disappears at sunset. Higher layers then take over ' the radio broadcasting re- flection. These higher layers are caused by ultra-violet light. But' the cause of the low layer was not known until the discovery Find X-Rays From Sun 50 Miles From Earth ® 4 of the sun's X-rays. This explains why the layer disappears at sun- set. The X-rays travel only in the direct sunshine. The reports about the X-rays were made by Dr. E. O. Hulbert and T. R. Burnight of the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, and Dr. Marcel Nicolet of the Royal Meteorological Institute, Belgium. Dr. Fred Whipple of the Har- vard College 'Observal who also addressed the symposium, said that no matter where you fly dust. There is enough to sand-blast the windows of coming rocket and interplanetary ships. That will maii; ground-glass windows you cannot see through. Blinds will have to protect the windows. He said probably a thousand tons of meteoric dust falls daily into the earth's atmosphere. No one knows where it comes from. The particles are too small .to show as shooting stars. But they travel at 20 miles a second, with really grinding power.
