and 3769 missing this is the price in blood of almost six years of fighting it is a high price for a country of 12 million people but it is much lower than the total of 62817 dead the smaller canada of 25 years ago paid in the first great war for the smaller casualties we should be forever grate ful to science which has saved so many of the seriously wounded and to the air force which made the way easier and safer for our infantry but at the sacrifice of over 15000 of their own personnel many groups destroy good government federal nominations indicate the alarming fact that canada is rapidly embarking on the system of multiple political groups which destroyed national unity and stable government in france and germany says the calgary herald just what will result from this sorry brew is a guess but a certainty is that it is likely to deny canada the stable government at ottawa most urgently needed in post war years new parties never having borne the responsibil ity- of office are ready to promise anything without a eeintilla of evidence that theycan make good their glitter ing promises yet a gullible public is inclined to swallow the bait air cadet tag day saturday june 2nd is air cadet tag day throughout ontario and of course stouffvile squadron of which we are justly proud will be doing the tagging locally air cadets now over 30000 strong in canada were first organized under rcaf affiliation in thte dark days of 1941 to serve two main purposes the first of these of course was immediate the provision of a pretrained junior resferve from which the ecaf might draw air crew material long before germany folded up this func tion had been fulfilled as with a decreasing rate of opera tional losses the rcaf ceased recruiting so now we enter into the second phase of air cadet organizationto make available a basic training in aviation that will fit canadian youth for peacetime careers in feither the service civilian aviation or other walks of lifethe air cadet

si mm s story of cahritft x v r z s wednesday and thursday nb 67 our capital f correspondent written expressly stonsvflie tribune wilson for the by dean there seems to be a quiet under tone of confidence along parlia ment hill that the number of volun teers which canada may need immediately for the countrys share of the war against japan will be obtained readily though- there is a widespread growing criticism of the use of the volunteer service for this theatre of war throughout canada the disclos ure that nbless than 963 candidates have filed nomination papers for the 245 seats in the next parlia ment has been causing comments on this unusually large list of aspirants with these comments being based on a false or wrong assumption as to the identity of these men in regard to their official political association in total num ber the reasons for these misinter pretations of the total number of candidates for the various parties are based on the explanation that some of the candidates classed as independents or similar designs are known or suspected to be likely followers of one or other of the parties so that this scheme more prevalent in 1945 than in any pre vious general election accounts for the huge number of candidates in general especially in quebec where many socalled independents or others of similar type are most like ly to turn out to be definite follow ers of one or the other established older political parties in short the confusion of numerous political associations or groups facing the electorate at this time will not exist after june 11 in the view of experi enced observers backstage in ott awa insinuating that the total numbers supposed to be running for the major political parties across canada are not accurate by a wide margin if these are proper ly analysed while newspaper publishers across canada are enduring great hardships due to the newsprint shortage yet there is evidence in ottawa of a waste of paper on account of the dominion election act of 1938 which insisted that each voter in a place of more than 25000 had to get a voters list resulting in a useless distribution of huge quantities of paper and envelopes for example in a constituency in the capital itself the voters were surprised to get such a list consist ing of a sheet folded in four and the fourth sheet entirely blank as well as a generous margin space so that by measuring it was found that there was a waste of 50 per cent of space in blank paper v a high official of the united nations relief and rehabilitation administration has stated in ott awa that in a few weeks 50000000 pounds of meat will be available for the peoples of europe the ottawa presbytery of the united church of canada has come forth with recommendations to the fed eral government that the sale of gasoline should be confined to a sixday week plan that there should be a continuation of the restrictions of the sale of liquor in canada that all commercial adver tising on the cbc should be elimin ated on sundays and that racial discriminations against canadians of japanese origin should not be tolerated there is a prediction recorded in this nations capital by a member of the federal cabinet that there is a strong possibility that the war with japan will not last another six months the industrial development bank brought into existence by the central authorities to provide governmental assistance for the peacetime transition of canadas economy has reported in its latest monthly statement that it has made loans and investments of 153477 since it began operations last november 1 a hint of the changes made and to be made may be contained in the disclosure in ottawa that ahwilliams who has been in this capital more than four years and who has been timber as well as rubber controller for can ada is resigning from his post and leaving for his home on june 15 the distinguished canadian author ity on social problems dr char lotte whitton has been reported as welfare adviser for the progres siveconservative party but this has been denied by this expert who has stressed that she is not now nor never has been welfare adviser to
