If the part of a part of a party government is at all sincere in its suggestions that the people should make sacrifices for the war, or that any sort of a serious situation faces Canada, then the Dominion should not have purchased any sort of a brewery at any price. That sort of thing could well wait until after the war. Even were the purâ€" chase permissable in such serious times, however, Mr. Reid makes it plain that the price to be paid is out of all proportions to the value. The total assessed value of the aforesaid Brading Brewery property in 1940, as given under sworn declaraâ€" tion, was $144,575.00, made up of "actual value of land $16,975.00 and value of buildings, $127,â€" 600.00."__ Under the expropriation agreement the machinery and plant is to be moved by the presâ€" ent owners. The buildings are of no use in the government ‘scheme of beautifying Ottawa, as they will have to be demolished and removed. In view of the fact that the Brading Brewery Comâ€" pany filed an appeal against the assessment of the land and the property, claiming it was too high, it may be taken for granted that $16,975.00 was not too low a figure for the land. Of course, it should be noted that when the government sought to expropriate the property the appeal A@gainst the assessment was dropped. Thoughtful peoplecare not always ready to accept assessment figures as the actual value of land or buildings, but it is seldom that they are as low as suggested by the Ottawa case.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Oanadaâ€"â€"$3.00 Per Year. United Statesâ€"$3.5" Per Year J M" stt it P AP AP C AC C C A C ACâ€"AC L For more than a year past a number of patriotic newspapers in Canada have been urging the part of a vart of a party government to show a halfâ€" decent example to the people in the matter of exâ€" penditures. How can the people be expected to believe there is any real call for economy or thrift, let alone any sacrifice, when the government conâ€" tinues to act the way it has been acting? How can ordinary folk be expected to curtail their holiâ€" days or their comforts, when the government conâ€" tinues to spend with a Jlavish hand for absolute nonâ€"essentials. Three millions for a census that might be deferred, twelve millions for a unnecesâ€" sary depot at Montreal, the millions for wheat storagé paid out to firms that have rented elevaâ€" tors built and paid for by the money of the peoâ€" ple of Canada, are some of the examples of the unnecessary expenditures made by theâ€"governâ€" partisans of the part of a part of The Advance has persistentUy held that there is no danger of>â€" Britain losing the present war providing all the resources of the Empire in men, a party government can bring reasons why these expenditures are warranted. But any man asked to economize or sacrifice for the war can give more logical and weighty excuses why he should not do so. No matter how the question is viewed it appears that the government has some tall explaining to do to satisfy the people that $550,000.00 was a fair fAigure to agree to pay for property assessed at $144,575.00. And when this is covered, there still remains the problem of making clear why any governiment should pay $550,000.00 on a problemâ€" atical beautification scheme that might well be deferred until after the war is won. Although it represents only a half a million dollars of political expenditure and so will be conâ€" sidered a mere trifle, Mr, R. A. Reed, K.C., in Friâ€" day‘s Globe and Mail exposes another of the govâ€" ernment‘s reckless expenditures when the people are being hounded to save and sacrifice. Mr. Reed, who is a lawyer of high standing in the Dominion, says that without the matter being aired in parliament or the ordinary open exproâ€" priation proceedings being followed through in open court, the government agreed to pay $550,â€" 000.00 for the plan to beautify the nation‘s capital. Judgmént by consent was given in the Exchequer Court of Canada, Mr. Reid says, the judgment beâ€" ing dated Nov. 14th 1940. It is true that on Aug. 20th, 1938, the government started expropriation proceedings to secure this Brading Brewery proâ€" perty, but it is surely apparent that in face of the war these proceedings might well have been dropped. If it is more important to buy breweries for the beautification of Ottawa than to spend half a million dollars for war purposes, than there is no personal expenditure that any man can have that can not be fully justified. In his letter to The Globe and Mail, Mr. Reid very properly calls for a full investigation of this expenditure of $550,000.00 for a brewery property in these days of war. He makes it plain that not only is this necessary in the interests of the peoâ€" ple of Canada who are dasked to make sacrifices for the war, but it is equally desirable for other reaâ€" sons. One of these reasons is suggested by Mr. Reid when he refers to the personnel of those owning the brewery property. One of the holders of shares has a son now listed as a dollar a year man at Ottawa. This son, it is further noted, also has some interest in the property. Timmins, Ont., Monday, June 16th, 1941 Che Yorrupine Aduancee PAGE PoOUR USING ALL RESROURCES BUYING BREWERIES money, supplies and wealth of all kinds are fully mobilized. With such a mobilization Britain could face the whole world unfraid. It is a reâ€" grettable Tact, however, that the mobilization of resources has proceeded with little speed in many cases, and this is particularly true of Oanada. Here the people and the government itself have been handicapped and hamstrung by partizanâ€" ship. Because of this partizanship men afhd money have been wasted on things that are apart from war effort, while men and money and muniâ€" tions have not been brought forward as speedily as might otherwise have been for the winning of the victory. These thoughts are orought to mind by the fact that many months ago a number of men particulâ€" arly skilled in various kinds of services offered their help to Ottawa, and some of them are reâ€" ceiving replies only now. There was the case of a Timmins medical man of outstandng talent who became so discouraged at the idea of his services not being accepted that he arranged his affairs so that he might travel at his own expense to Engâ€" land and offer his services there. Announcement of this fact seemed to spur action at Ottawa and a place was found for him in the Canadian Mediâ€" cal Corps, but it was only after many months of waiting. This week, another Timmins man, who offered his services many months ago, was called. to the service. His case seem to suggest other ways in which Canadian resources are lacking in prompt mobilization. At the time of the last war this gentleman, who was then an American citizen, offered to serve his native country in any capacity possible. He was at once drafted for service in a group of expert mining men whose business it was to speed production of minerals needed for the war effort and to locate such minâ€" erals if they were not already being mined in quantity in the United States. To their own perâ€" sonal knowledge, these men added all the data gathered by Federal and State mining departâ€" ments and by mining associations and groups of prospectors. The result was that the United States war effort, so far as minerals were concernâ€" ed, was soon on a selfâ€"sufficient basis. This ‘reâ€" sult was achieved by a plan that appears to be clever and acceptable from all standpoints. With the need of any mineral apparent, and with the knowledge of where it eould be developed, the help of private capital was enlisted. Private capital developed the needed mines, and being sponsored by the government, and protected against undue loss, were able to do the work withâ€" out the ordinary profits necessary in mining venâ€" tures. They were assured of the return of their money and a small profit for their venture, and they were content with this. In addition the country was served in a way that seems impossible by any other plan. The thought arises, could not some such plan be practical for Canada. There are few of the warâ€"time minerals that could not be made available in Canada with the right inâ€" centive to private capital. In any event it does seem that the calling of all available talent to mobilize all the resources of Canada would be a genuine advantage to Canada‘s war effort. In bombing from the air the Germans have perâ€" sisted in the apparent doctrine that anything in the way of a building or a human being is a miliâ€" tary objective. Indeed, there has grown up the belief that the Nazis prefer to bomb a school than a‘shipyard, a hospital in preference to an amâ€" munition dump, and a church rather than a barâ€" racks. This has led to the theory that the Gerâ€" mans centre on nonâ€"military objectives with the idea that this is more shattering to morale. There may be something in this theory, but even Nazi stupidity must realize by this time that British morale has only been stiffened by the indiscriminâ€" ate bombings from the air. Before completely scorning the Nazis, however, for their failure to see that bombing of nonâ€"military objectives does not break British morale, it might be well to enâ€" quire the effect on German morale of the British system. While it is true that Nazi bombings leave the British morale unimpaired, is it not also a fact that British restriction of bombings to soâ€" called military objectives in Germanâ€"held terriâ€" tory is also being taken with considerable coolâ€" ness by the Germans? The subject seems worthy of enquiry. It may as well be admitted that if the British can stand much bombing of nonâ€" military targets, the Germans also appear able to take quite a bit of bombing of open military obâ€" jectives. The Advance has always had the idea that the bombing of soâ€"called military objectives in Germanâ€"held territory did not do as much damage as they should because the "military obâ€" jectives" were not as much military objectives as they were given to appear. On the other hand there was reason to believe that it was not so much simple viciousness that impelled the Nazis to bomb schools, hospitals and churches, as guilty consciences. If the Germans, knowing the British weakness for military objectives only, were to use hospitals and schools and churches for strictâ€" ly military purpoes, as they did in the last war, it would be easy to understand why they would expect the British to do likewise. In any event, it might be a good idea for the British airmen. to drop the odd bomb on the school, or church or hospital that too beoldly poses as nonâ€"military objective. The chances are that a little of this policy would cause more military damage than comes from the plan of only bombing the place that poses as a military objective.

The overwhelming opinion of the people of this country is that the soldiers should be given free transportation to visit their homes on long leaves, and especially on their last leaves.

Accoring to The Northern Tribune at Kapus kasing, "The Porcupine Advance is still at Tim mins, while the Skunk Retreat," is at Kapuskas ing." These are the inpolite words of the Kapus kasing paper itself. No one should waste either sympathy or hope on the supposition that Germany is about to atâ€" tack Russia. There is little doubt but that from the beginning of the war (perhaps, before) the Nazis and the Soviet have had a secret underâ€" standing as to their respective fields in gangsterâ€" dom. While there is little truth in the saying about there being honour among thieves, there is still less sense in honest people waiting for their due until gangsters fall out. The chances are all that Russia will do exactly as the Nazis bid it. Russia is waiting for someone else to subdue Gerâ€" many. When that day comes Russia will be brave enough.
