Increased Water Storage for Power
Purposes Is Discussed Informally
Before Joint Commission af Kelson
Temporary Increase
May Be Needed as
Result Weather
Possibility of temporarily Increasing Kootenay Lake storage
for power purposes, to guard
against low water levels which
might be the result of a dry aea-
aon, was discussed by members
of the International Joint Commission and representatives of
the Kootenay take Board of Con*
trol, of Creston district dyking
areas, and of the West Kootenay
Power _, Light Company Ltd,
at an Informal conference In Nelson Friday.
No decisions were made, alnce
there had been no actual application
upon which to act. The conference
resulted from a recent inquiry by
the power company as to the attitude which might be taken by the
Control Board should an application
be made. It was pointed out that
in the event of an application for
increased storage, all persons interested would be notified and the
Commission would hear their
representations.
INTERESTS RELATED
The opinion that interests of the
dyking districts and the power com-
fiany were in many respects rested, and that the Creston Dyking
District was prepared to cooperate,
particularly if storage for power became essential to the national war
'effort, was given by Guy Constable
of Creston, Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the Creston Dyking
District and representatives of Creston Reclamation Company. Willingness to cooperate was also expressed by Dr. C. P. Bruner.
Mr. Constable said he understood
that if the power company should
make an application for increased
temporary storage, the situation
would be thoroughly canvassed beforehand, and a hurried decision
would be avoided.
Members of the Commission attending were Hon. Charles Stewart,
P. C, Chairman of the Canadian
section; Hon. A. 0. Stanley, Chair
man of the American section; Commissioner Roger B. McWhorter of
the American section; and the two
Secretaries, Lawrence J. Burpee,

Jesse B. Ellis ot the American
section
The Board of Control was represented by E. J. Peuse of the United
States Corps of Engineers and C.

Power Bureau.
Lome A. Campbell, President and
Managing Director of tlu West Kootenay Power & Light Company Ltd..

1941 Road Program Uncertain Leary
Tells Nelson Board; No Ottawa Aid
**l can't iay anything of the future. . . we will do a little road
work thli Fall, but road improvement program in B. C. during 1941
trill depend on war conditions,"
aid Hon. Capt. C. S. Leary, Minis-
er Of Public Works, when he met
he Nelion Board of Trade informally Friday morning.
'The attitude at Ottawa was to
curtail all major road programs as
[tnuch as possible, the Minister de-
Jclared, and little aid could be looked
for from that source. A great force
ot public opinion would be. the only
JJneans of getting \aid from the Do-
minion   Government  at  this  time,
[although after the war great im
provement and fine rotd building
programs could be expected.
SEEK WINTER ROUTE
Meanwhile with travel conditions
through the United Stttei difficult
becauie of war regulations, the De-
eartment wai now atudylng the
est way ot maintaining in open
Southern tranaprovincial route during the Winter. The difficulty would
be In keeping open the Monaihee
Pass or the Cascade lection of
travel.
Improvement and repair work
started thia year would be continued
in the Fall, and necesiary and iome
amall works would be carried out.

Sam Saprunoff Is the
Man of the Hour
for Victors
FINALS TO START
TRAIL THURSDAY
Tht triumphant rumble of tht
high-geared Rowland lacrotie midline grew mon omlnoui thin
tvtr Friday night ftr the Trail
Golden Bean ai tht Redmen completed t two-itnight trimming of
tht ox-champion Nelion  Leaft.
In I display of the gutted itlck
pastime thtt hid the
crowd ef thl naion In tha
Arena marvelling at the visitors
despite thtlr ptrpttull vocil ai-
uult on Rafereat Brennen tnd
Wllion, tht Redmen rattled out a
16-11 deciiion, that combined with
t 18-10 vlttory two nlghti befort
to nnd them Into a best of flvt
final nrlei tgiinit Trill. That
leriei, which will decldi tht «!«■
cetior to tht twice-ohamplon
Leafi, itarti In Trail Thunday
night
The lion'i ihare ot the semi-final
laurel! go without a doubt to illm
Sammy Saprunoff, 10-year-o 1 d
rookie netmlnder of the Redmen.
Saprunoff, the same fellow who
has been covering acres ot aecond
base for the Trail Cardinals this
Summer, was carried off the floor
on the shoulders ot hia happy teammates atter it was all over and Dave
Gibbons, King of Kootenay goalies
In other diys, came up to centra
floor to congratulate h'.s young
rival.
SAPRUNOFF
SENSATIONAL
Saprunoff brokt the Leafs' hearts
all the way through. They'd march
right through the Redmen defence
Ume end again, and Sammy somehow would get ln front of the
drive. On one occasion in the third
period, he stopped thre* hot shots
In a row from Art Hill, who can
really rifle them in. And two or
three times he itopped Jock Walmiley when the greying Nelion
Coach had only him to beat.
Tba teams stepped through tht
best first period of the aeaaon with
epeedy, well-organized playi, and
the fam figured on a really classy
display. The Redmen took the lead
from the start and hung on grimly
to a 9-3 margin at the quarter.
In tht second session the Lake-
ilders did most of their work, and
the Braves did the scoring. Desperate to keep from letting tne deficit get out ot shouting distance,
Walmsley had his boys up the floor
continuously and they hammered
an even dozen shots at Saprunoff,
but nary a one got by him. On the
other hand, the Redmen, specializing as opportunists, flashed the red
light five times. ,
Their first half performance put
the Leafs seven goals down and apparently out of the running. However, they held their closer-checking opponents to an even break In
the third quarter, and in the final
period their rousing show had the
fans on their feet despite the fact
that  Pop   Time   would   obviously er Walt.
never allow their favorites to even
ltup.
FLASHY FINISH
The Leafi finlihed the game with
tout tuccessive goals, ana they had
the Redmen definitely on th« run.
The Rouland hero wsi Saprun-
. off, who played in Trail junior
company thia season, and Nelson
had Jackie Biihop. Biihop continued his sparkling late-season
form to keep the Leafi ln the
race, and picked off five paints.
Ian Dingwall waa one ot the better Leafs.
PENALTIES TAKE TOLL
. Penalties played a Big part ln the
Rama, and Nelson's flock of penai-
es had the fans screaming at the
rtfs. Mickey Brennen replaced
Johnny Gidinski ot Rouland, who
waa originally chosen to work the
semis with Len Wilion.
Bill founaend apd Ron Saundry
iet oft the ipark for the thrilling
finish with a real tiff behind the
Rouland goal. They were given
majors tor their fist-flinging, and
that waa the signal for speedy and
hectic end-to-end rushes that had
players ending up everywhere
sprawled on the floor,   '
Freddy Graves, red-headed defenceman, made an unexpected appearance tn the game. Now a resident of Vancouver, he came up for
the holiday weekend, and transferred at Cutlegar from the train
to Manager Harold Long's car. He
arrived in time to
n the last

ifor Thought
From Divorcing
CAROLINE CHATFIELD
kr Miss Chatfield:
I have always had supreme con-
mpt for the wife who strayed
K the straight and narrow. I
Be always adhorred divorce. I
ive always criticized women who
nldn't make happy homes for
ilr husbands and children. But
per agan. A year ago my lius,-
tnd began to show too much input in his secretary. She was a
(wrcee. I tried to do all the things
icommended to wives under these
mditions and to leave otf any
lention of the matter. In this I
icceeded pretty well. Then our
By ion werit off to college and I
as left alone day and night I be-
ime HI with worry and foolishly
tided in my doctor who was
ling to see me regularly. He was
ridower, lonely and unhappy and
| can guess the rest. My husband
are polite strangers living un-
J the lame roof. I don't know
Ich of us is most miserable. Is
fee any way out but divorce and
harrlage for both of us7
LT.
(oourse there are two ways out,
dear woman, and the first de-
on, about the matter must rest
Bth you. I'd suggest several ques-
feni to be answered before you
Bee the radical step. Is there a
Ilia for hope that you and your
lusband, each of you offenders
jainst the other, might come to an
pderstanding, patch up your re-
Btonship and face the future to-
Idler? Would this be the thing
pur son would want most?
: Naturally you and your husband
plieve that you are experiencing
he grand passion for widower and
he divorcee respectively and II
Bil remain together it would en-
Bl great sacrifice for both. Would
kh a sacrifice yield you a satls-
Ictlon comparable to the selfish
■_sure of divorce and remarriage?
fet Is often pointed out that many
nan who hears a siren voice with
In ear, listens with the other ear
Bhe echo of another voice lhat ne
gesn't want to lose. Certainly a
Btiely woman is easy prey to the
bmfortlng presence of a physician
■M* curing her ills while he re-
taives her confidence, At that, nel-
ner may be experiencing anything
bt a temporary aberration, an es-
jape to the land of make-believe.
Ind there's no such place.
f When a man and woman have
lived together long enough to have
a ion in college there must be some
bends between them that cannot be
broken even by extra-mural affairs.
At least some who have tried di-
Wrce and re-marriage say this is
true.

Time..,
Let Finger Wave
Be Properly Sel
By DONNA ORAM
The desire to make each finger-
wave long-lasting may be commendable from the point ot economy but unless one use* good
Judgment In this thrifty urge, the
result will be lat trom satisfactory. For instance, leaving the ahop
without first having the wave
combed out and properly arranged.
Curls are set principally to make
the hair more attractive in the finished arrangement and each curl
has Its own special line and ahould
be combed and placed according to
design before one attempt! to do tt
at home. Many tine hairdreiaei are
ruined by trying to finish the operator's work at home.
The way to avoid disappointment
is to have plenty of time for all the
work. Those who are able should
make appointments in the forenoon
or when the operators are not busy.
In thii way everyone will be
satisfied.
We believe every good operator
knows the Importance of thorough
rinsing, but should they overlook
this final gesture, call their attention to it. The shampoo and wave
will be just a waite of time lt the
rinsing is not well done.
Miss J. King Becomes
Bride of K. Guthrie at
Cranbrook Ceremony
CRANBROOK, B.C.—A wedding
of interest to Fernie, Kimberley and
Cranbrook took place Sunday at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Bridges when Joan Phyllis King

The living room of the Bridges

Duch.ss satin with as mall train,
full sleeves shirred from wrist to

net ruchlng. Her bridal veil, fastened with orange Wossom, was
shoulder length, her gloves were
white lace and her pumps white.
She carried a sheath bouquet of
pale pink gladioli.
Her attendant was Mias Ethel
Lewis, who wore a floor length
frock of Alice Blue with rose doll
hat, white shoes and lace glovei,
and she carried a bouquet of pink
sweet peas and fern. T. Hagen of
Kimberley was groomsman, and
Rev. Frank Patch wai officiating
clergyman.
A wedding breakfast followed,
when the table, covered with white
lace was centred with a three-tiered
wedding cake. The breakfast was
buffet style and Mrs. Harold Bridges
poured.
The couple left soon afterward on
a wedding trip to Regina. The
bride's going-away costume waa a
gray silk jersey frock with matching short coat, white doll hat, white
shoes, gloves and purse, on their
return from Regina they will make
their home at Marysvilie.

Few Eye Faults
Are Hereditary
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
At birth the baby can probably
distinguish between bright light
and complete darkneaa; little else.
The function of the eye developi
rather ilowly. The macula 1a not
formed until about three montha of
age. The macula la the point of
clearest vlilon of the retina. Until
lta function is developed the move
menti ot the eyes will be more br
leas purposeless. Ocular movements
depend upon fixation of vision, and
until the macula is developed the
eyes of an infant cannot be directed at an object
CROSS-EVES IN INFANCY
During the firat three months, of
life, therefore, it la hot uncommon
to find children's eyes divergent or
cross-eyed, not because ot any organic defect of the eyei, but be
cause of immaturity.
It is doubtful whether at this
time further development of the
eyes can be Influenced save by actual tissue injury. In later months,
however, up to three or tour years,
the function of the eye becomei
more highly specialized. It would
seem prudent during this period to
permit seeing to develop in a natu
ral manner rather than to encourage close application of the eyes
through the use of small toy*, perusal of pictures and other means
of close application.
These are a few disorders and
diseases ot the eyes that ere con
sldered to be hereditary, that ll,
they appear in several members of
the aame family, not only siblings,
but ln succeeding generations. However, all hereditary diseases are not
congenital—do not appear at birth,
VITAMIN  DEFICIENCY
During adolescence the development of systematic disease may affect the eyes and is a frequent
cause of eye diiorders. Tuberculosis,
rheumatism, endrovine disease are
likely to make their first appearance at this time and their effects
can often be seen in the eye. Focal
Infection is also a cause of ocular
disorder at this period.
Among college students the ocular hygcnlst must consider the role
of vitamin deficiency. The college
«tudent ls not supposed to be rich
and to be able to afford a luxurious diet Nor does he have the inestimable advantage of home cooking. All the conditions of his life
make *or a tendency toward vitamin
deficiency. A rAyslcisn who has a
long experience in observing college student* writes: "I am convinced that in the past 28 years the tendency ha* been towards inadequate
rather than more adequate nourishment among a large proportion of
the student population of our larger
lnstitutlohs."

LOVE WITHOUT MUSIC
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
Al Sarah Markley asked Linda
where Ronald was, her voice waa
so startled In Its fright that it did
not try to disguise thc love which
Sarah bore for Ronald.
Until now Linda nad believed
that Sarah had gone in gay pursuit of him because she could not
have him. She had credited the girl
with using audacity at first, wut-
ful resignation at the last
But Sarah's voice was stripped of
all synthetic qualities now. The
man she loved waa in danger and
she wanted to help him. He might
love her, he might not. That did
not matter. All this Linda sensed.
Because she did, her voice wis
gentle as she answered, "Ronnie
was Uken to the police station,
Sarah. It's a ghastly mistake, but
everyone is being questioned, and
it seems there was part of an hour
when he wasn't at the theatre this
evening. He will get an alibi, of
course. It's too impossible..."
It's too impossible that he ihould
have tried to kill me io he could
have you. . . that was what she
was thinking, and she knew the
words were in Sarah's mind, too.
Sarah spoke quickly. "He has an
alibi. He was with me. In the alley
back of the stage entrance, smoking
his pipe." _
"Oh-h-h! That's good. Then you
can tell the police, can't you?"
"Of course. I'll go down right
away. I wonder why he didn't mention it I made him come out He
didn't want to."
Sarah hung up, but Linda did
not go to bed. If Sarah really loved
Ronald, then she became an evan
more formidable rival, for he would
tense the reality in her part
But Sarah was defenseless now.
She had let the bars down, as dawn
broke. She could not pretend to
make love a gay pursuit any more.
Linda climbed Into bed. The room

She wondered how soon onald
would be able to call. Almost In
answer to her thoughts her telephone rang again, and ha spoke
her name,
"Deareat, may I come up?" he
asked. "I need some coffee."
"Of courie you may. Hurry. By
the way. bu Sarah reached you?"
"No, what did ahe want?"
"She heard about everything and
said ahe could establish an alibi
for you."
"Sarah's all right It'a not needed
though. The doorman at the theatre
and two of the saxophone players
did lt See you ln a few minutes."
Caroline sat up and rubbed her
eyes sleepily. "I'll get dressed
quickly," she said. "Did I dream
that Terry lett two note»-or did
he?"
"He did," Linda answered, slipping into a dark blue printed dress
that wu trilled with infinite minute tuckings and putting on navy
sandals that matched. She might as
well get ready for the office now,
lhe decided.
By the time Ronald, taxicab
itopped in front of the old red brick
house ahe and Caroline had a table
iet by the balcony windows, with
crisp yellow cloth and napkins,
and cream colored plates and cups
and saucers.
There were yellow roses in a low
blue bowl and tall glasses of iced
orange juice at the three places.
•The odor of coffee and frying bacon
came from the kitchenette and
Caroline wai atirring up pop-overs.
"It's nearly half-past six," Linda
said in amazement. "I haven't had
any sleep at all."
Yet her eyes were u wide as
though lhe had gone to bed at nine
o'clock. Her body felt tired,
though. She knew ihe would be
glad when thli day ended. She
dreaded, too, to enter the office and
sit down at the desk wher* Clarabell had been shot
No ont had been able to offer
any cluu u to the gun which had
killed the girl. One bullet wu lodged in her cheat and the other had
entered her temple and come out.
It had'not been In the room. Ap-
lt up and taken lt awaj
Waiting for Ronnie, Linda realized that the girl's body would be
examined and the men would probe
for the bullet An Identification of
lt would lead to the type of revolver from which it had been fired.
Then the atorea would be checked
for past salea. She wu glad she
did not know how to shoot
Down below a cab was stopping.
Ronald got out looked up. waved.
He turned to assist someone. She
noticed Sarah.
So Sarah had arrived Just u
Ronald was leaving, and out of
kindness he had invited her. The
alUy, adorable nlt-wlt! Didn't he
know that thii was a ipecial morning and Sarah had no part in It?
Because ahe felt lorry, though, for
any girl who loved Konald and
could not hav* him, she wai gracious and hospital to Sarah.
Sarah did not remove the thin
black silk jacket ahe wore over her
while itlk frock or take off the
silly, one-sided scrap of black straw
that made her hat She held out
her hand Instead.
"You win," she laid to Linda.
"And I apologize. It im't lomething I do very often and I guess
I do lt badly. I uked Ronnie to let
me come down for a minute, and
now. good luck and goodby. Goodby. Ronnie."
Her tmile wai glowing, warm,
ihining. and her head was high.
Her voice had not faltered. She
turned and went toward the itain
At the door lhe lo6ked back, waved

Ronald gazed at her, hla face
perplexed. '"What'i the Idle, Sarah?
Sit down. The poo-overs look like

S_.-ah didn't answer. Sh* wai going out of the door, down the stairway', end Linda heard her steps
growing fainter and fainter.

She nodded. "I'd rather. I have

As she went to the office ln the

FRENCH COLONIES START TO SHIFT
ALLEGIANCE
Portions of the French Colonial Empire have detached
themselves from the areas yielding administrative alleg-
giance to the futile Vichy Government headed by Marshal
Petain, and have formerly adhered to the cause of General
Charles De Gaulle, who heads the free French forces fighting for the liberation of France, beside Britain.
In Equatorial Africa these embrace a great stretch
of territory, extending from the great bend in the West
Coast, diagonally in a Northerly and Easterly direction up
the map, made up of the French Congo, the Cameroons,
and the Territory of Tchad.
In the South Seas, two groups of islands, the New
Hebrides, and New Caledonia, have renounced allegiance
to the Vichy Government, and have adhered to De Gaulle.
The Vichy Government, maintaining its attitude of
servility to Germany, bemoans "the rebellions inspired by
Britain," and removes—in their absence—some of the administrators concerned.
However, it is evident that the "Free Frenchmen" in
the parts of the French Colonial Empire not close geographically to France are thinking for themselves, and are
concluding that French liberty will be won only by fighting, not by supineness, and that the only way they can
"strike a blow for France" is by joining De Gaulle and
aiding the British.
The two territories most strongly defended by France
prior to the surrender, and the ones containing powerful
| armies—Mandated Syria, and Tunis-Algeria—have thus
far been adherents of the surrender policy, and only recently a considerable number of French planes in Northern
African were flown to France, to be handed over to the
Germans,
But the break-up of the Petain control of the far-flung
and now highly vulnerable French Colonial Empire has
started, and what the end will be, no one can predict.
In the meantime, the joining of French Equatorial
Africa to the British territories North and East gives
'•complete control and passage to British arms from the
West Coast through to the Gulf of Aden South of Suez,
on the East, and through to the Mediterranean, on the
North.
NELSON SWIMMING NOT YET
ORGANIZED
With the great number of swimmers of all ages that
Nelson boasts, from boys and girls of tender years up to
hundreds of youths and other hundreds of adulta, it is
regrettable that local initiative, which is one of Nelson'3
prides, and for which Nelson can give credit for nearly
everything it has, has not yet got around to organizing
a swimming club.
Wednesday's fine swimming gala, under the auspices
of the Civic Parks Committee, and growing out of the fact
that the City maintains an instructional and lifeguard
service at Lakeside Park, was excellent in every way, but
this event comes but once a year.
Swimming clubs and facilities are now.general in the
larger centres of the Kootenay, and have the official blessing of the Provincial Department of Health.
But no Kootenay centre, and no British Columbia
centre, has the bathing facilities that Nelson has, with
almost unlimited extent of beaches, and the special recreational facilities of Lakeside Park. There have been individual days when in hot seasons when close to or quite
1000 Nelson people must have gone into the lake water.
It is safe to say that no other centre in the interior could
approach such a record.
In the last decade, Seattle has had at least three national swimming champions, two of them Olympic champions.
Spokane's swimming pools have produced Mary Lott
Petty, a little gtrl who has risen to national fame.
Nelson undoubtedly has three or four, or even a larger
proportion, of regular swimmers to each one that any
other Interior centre has.
It should have a wonderful Speed Swimming and Diving Club. It should have monthly water 'galas. It should
be producing British Columbia champions at least.
It would be making a showing of this kind if organization were effected.

Kingsgate Man Charmed by Trip to
West Kootenay Excepf for Roads
To the Editor of
The Dally News:
Sir—There ore a number of ut
here now who know why the tourists so condemn the Canadian roads,
and why Canadians prefer to travel
by U.S. routes. Harry Hogg, Bill
Dunbar, Joe Brogan and Gust Williams had passports, but no visas, so
arranged to go to Trail to see Mr.
Cory, the U.S. Consul there. John
Mauldin, ot the U.S. Service in East-
port, Wash,, desirous ot meeting his
country's representative in Trail,
used up his weekly day of leisure
to take the gang over there.
They headed out about 8:15 a.m.
leaving themselves a couple of
hours to catch the Main Lake ferry,
which under ordinary cases would
have been ter more than ample for
70 miles, but let me say now that if
thftre had not been a lot of can getting on to the boat and holding it
there, they would have been very
nearly late.
Nothing could have been more
delightful than the drive by Creston to the Ferry, Once one left this
valley of rocks, Christmas trees, and
stump ranches, the Creston Valley
is a revelation of beauty. The apple
trees breaking down under the burden of their fruit. The clean well
built prosperous looking homes, set
mostly amid trees, and the busy
little growing town of Creston itself were delightful, but the bumps
and the holes and the ruts and lhe
corners. As Gust said, "There are
no corners on this road, they are
all right turns."
LIKE THE HIGHLANDS
Beyond Creston the flats stretched out glowing in the sun with their
f.arvest of grain, and in some places
combines were working. Here there
were stretches of real good road,
and many beautiful little ranches,
while the scenery along the lake
shore was most picturesque, and it
wouldn't have taken much imagination to have thought that it was a
road somewhere in the West Highlands on "The Road to the Isles,"
but one missed the sharp tang of
the sea and the smell of the kelp
|nd tangle.
The Nasookin with its gleaming
white paint and brasswork did not
help the nostaglia any, but it was
a beautiful trip up the lake. Bill
Dunbnr enjoyed it especially as he
had never been on a boat before.
There are some lovely homes and
beaches along the lake. John Mauldin also had an extra thrill out of
the boat journey as the "thump
thump" of the stern-wheeler
brought back memories of the South
and "01' Man River." The road from
the ferry landing in Nekon ferry is
one of the most delightful one could
wish. Winding and undulating, each
turn reveals a new vista of gorgeou_
gardens and lovely homes, of all
types of architecture from Chinese
pagodes lo stately English homes on
their wide-spread lawns 'mid shady
trees.
Then Nelson! What' a wonderful
Summer resort Nelson might be if
•here w_re only really good roads
into it! It has everything—the lake,
parks, fine buildings, stores and
streets, and most hospitable people.
KOOTENAY RIVER
UNSURPASSED
The road from then on to Trail
was really good, although of course
very winding, and high above the
river. But tne scenery would be
hard to surpass anywhere. The rush
and roar of the Kootenay as seen
from above Bonnington, and the
cold green depths of the Columbia
from Castlegar on. The thriving
community of Brilliant. What a pity
that the Doukhobors are not as good
citizens as they are farmers and
pioneers!
Then the long drop down Into
Trail, and the Smelter lying like a
great smoking volcano above the
town. One does not only see Trail
—one smells and tastes it. But Trail
is a bang-up-to-date modern'city,
and we had' a swell dinner theie.
Mr. Cory, the U.S. Vice Consul, was
most courteous, and gave us our
papers in quick order. He reminds
one of a U.S. representative out ot
some story-book, tall, loose jointed
and bespectacled, of serious mien.
One felt like looking around for
thc blond svelte slinky female spy,
who should have been in the story,
.out instead there was just an auburn
haired Trail girl as stenographer,
doing her Job most efficiently.
COLUMBIA GARDENS CLIMB
But we didn't know anything
about thrills of the road until we
left Trail, heading for Fruitvale and
Salmo. The road out of the Smelter
town looks just like those pictures
of the Rock of Gibraltar published
by a well-known insurance company, and it was along the face of
that rock that we climbed and
climbed and clung, with the rocki
close into our left, and the co)d
green river away below, long
long way below, while the loose
gravel kicked out behind us, and
the radiator began to boll before
we reached the top. Gust said, "It's
funny it's always on my side of the
car that it is such a long way down."
but Bill Dunbar took a look at one
time, and didn't look any more.
Through Fruitvale, and on to
Salmo and Nelway.
What a really splendid scenic
drive if the road surface were only
better! Beautiful little peaceful valley and farms. Fruit is plenty, and
deep green pastures, and then every
so often great deep silent cedar
forests, with the tall trees and their
sweeping branches, and the silence
of the almost primeaval woods.
It was dark now. and the Nelway
U. S. Customs Office made a great
blaze among the trees. Here we had
an opportunity to use our newly
acquired passports and visas for the
first time, and also to visit with
Mr. and Mrs. Clupher, well known
to Eastport and Kingsgate residents.
Here also we heard that Don Stewart, another old Eastporter, was
spending the evening at Metaline
Falls, so contact was made by phone,
and on arriving at the Falls found
Don awaiting us. We had a very
pleasant reunion for an hour. Don
is looking extremely well, and we
also met son, Sandy, who is a regular husky young giant, and by the
way of becoming a tennis champion.
From then on the journey was
quite uneventful; the good roads, th;
purr of the tires bn the pavement,
and the effects of the long day
brought silence and sleepiness to the
crowd, and the lights of Eastport
were very welcome in the fint
small hour of the dawn.

Bombay Hindu Writes to Nelson Friend
That Allies Will Save Civilization
To the Editor of
The Daily News:
Sir—From a letter received from
India the other day I would like to
quote a passage which both pleased
and interested me, and which may
alao interest others, particularly
those Of us who have wondered as
to the reaction of the people of
India towards Britain in this dark
hour of her struggle. This letter was
written by a prominent Hindu in
Bombay, and reflects, I sincerely
believe, the attitude of all thinking
people of India, more so because it
was not written to please the public
opinion but merely as an honest
observation from one friend to another.
Thus he writes:
"Events in Europe arid the rest
of the world have been moving so
fast and so desperately that by thc
time our letters reach their destination the discussion of the latest
events are bound to be somewhat
antiquated and out of date. By the
time we got around to the wtr in
Finland It was nearly over and
other sinister events hid usurped
Uie throne. After Norway there
came Denmark, then Holland, then
Belgium, and now tha latest stunt
of the Italian Duce, at a time when
the Allies were In such a difficult
position, making tht outlook grave
to iay the least. We do hope the
U.S.A. will move quickly now and
throw all its resources on the side
of the Allies.
Whatever we Indians may have
to say on small and particular Issues, there can be no two opinions
among the liberty-loving peoples of
the world as to which ilde ll in the
right, in this titanic struggle, the
fiercest and most desperate in the
history of our race.
"It may be wishful thinking, but
somehow I feel convinced that
whatever setbacks they may suffer
in the Immediate future, the Allies
will come through succesfully in
the end. I cannot believe that civilization and the values It haa created
are to be demolished once and for
all at the bidding of one, two or
three dictators. There ls a certain
element of mystery in the affairs
of our little planet, and whether we
believe In God and Divine intervention or not, it Is significant that:
"The best laid schemes of men
and mice all gang astray."
"Yes, it is not impossible, and it
is quite probable, that the best laid
Dlans of the dictators, which appear
to be conceived and executed with
almost diabolic precision efficiency,
mav yet gang astray."
This may not be of anv value to
your paper, but I forward it in any
case,
A Hopeful Thiuker.
Nelson, B.C., Aug. J9, 1940.

J.J.S.. Nelson—Can you tell me how
to make mortar?
Mortar ls composed of quicklime
and sand reduced to a paite with
water. The lime ought to be pure,
completely free from carbonic acid,
and in the state of a very powder;
the sand should be free from city,
partly ln the state of gravel; the
water ihould be pure; and If previously saturated with lime io much
the better. The best proportion! are
three parts ot fine and tour parti
of coarse sand, one part of quicklime, recently slaked, and as little
water  as  possible.
R. T., Edgewood—How car. a person judge whether a table cloth

Linen absorbs water immediately,
and feels heavier than cotton. Linen, if freed from dressing, becomes
translucent when treated with olive
oil; cotton remains opaque. If torn
quickly, linen threads will be
smooth, cotton threads curl.

Note—This poem was written In
the trenches during the World
War The initial! L. W. are attached to lt, but the name of the
author ls unknown. It employs
the principle of repetition-with
variation: the iecond and fiftn
linei alwayi add lomething; they
do not merely echo. The poem ii
one of the most arreitina that
came out of the great conflict. It
sincerity has cauied it to be framed by miny people and hung upon
their walls. Al an inspiration and
reminder. It is taken from "Poems
of Inspiration," collected by Joseph Morris and St. Clair Adams.
We  had   forgotten   You,   or  very

You did not seem to touch us ver/

Of coune we thought about You

But we were very ordinary men.
And there were alwayi other thingi

And so we only thought of You on

Now we remember; over here ln

(It Isn't strange to think ot You
in Fltndert)—
This hideout warfare seems to make

We never thought about You much

Now that we are far away from

Men to Hope for
Best to join R.C.N.
After Training
OTTAWA, Aug. 30 (CP)-Men
who want to join the navy but are
called up for 30 days military training should lake their training and
then "hope for the best, which is.
Of course, to join the navy," Navy
Minister Macdonald said at a press
conference today.
The minister said the navy had
a waiting list of 15,000. Some 4,000
men were in training at Halifax and
a smaller number at Esquimau, B.C.
The minister said the 30-day
training lo be given in militia encampments would do no harm to
potential seamen. On the contrary,
the exercises in basic military principles would be of value If they
were fortunate enough later to get
Into the navy.
Discussing Ihe personnel of the
navy, Mr. Macdonald said tne
standard of physical fitness for
entry into the permanent force,
Royal Canadian Navy, had not been
lowered but there had been slight
alterations made in the standard of
vision for those who have entered
for hostilities only.
"This was found necessary," he
said, "in order to gain the experienced deep sea fishermen many
of whom are reaching middle age
and whose changing vision is greatly outweighed by their value to
the service through experience."

 Wave Upon Wave
of German Planes
Roar Over Britain
London Streets Crowded When Third Alarm
Sounded; Sailor Smothers Bomb
With Hospital Blankets
By PAT USSHER
Canadian Pren Staff Writer
LONDON, Aug. 30 (CP.-Cable.-
London'i third air raid warning cf
tht day lounded late thla afternoon
ai waves ot Nui aircraft roared
over Southeast England—tbe United
Klngdom'a air front line—ln a series ot thrusts at the metropolitan
area.
A formation ot 20 bomben flying
at great height was broken up by a
swarm of British tighten during the
hour-long raid. One was sent spinning' to earth with smoke pouring
from its tail tnd two othen were
lorced from the formation and flew
from light with tighten following
close behind.
The Luftwaffe'! bomben unloaded their bombi in earlier attack! aimed at airdromes in the vicinity of the metropolis and the
home ciuntlei. The iky battles were
fought at tremendous heights both
morning tnd afternoon over varioui parti of the Southeastern front
line.
The thud of bombi wai heard ln
auburban sections during the tint
raid. The aecond. lasting less than
20 minutes, sounded when the raiden again approached the capital.
Fighten intercepted and chaiea
them off.
Streets ot the suburbs were
crowded with shoppers when the
bomba were dropped. Mtn and women who had gone out after the
aecond warning ended bad to take
shelter again.
Reports from a Southeait town
aaid that while London's iecond
warning was in progreis 12 high
explosive bombi tnd t few incendi-
ariei were dropped In outlying dli-
trlcti, and aeveral persons were injured and one nun died from ihock.
Some houies were badly damaged.
The day'i iecond alarm lounded
about 3:30 p.m. (6:30 a.m. PST) but
the all clear lignal came ilx minutei
later.
An hour before the afternoon
alarm sounded air battlei were reported over Southeastern England,
where the ralden were trying to
cross over mother section.
"Reports received up to 2 p.m.
(5 a.m. MST) ihow that 10 enemy
aircraft are known to have been
ahot down. Six of our own aircraft
have been loit but the pilot of one
ll safe."
Undeterred by their louei, the
Germani apparently returned to
the attack by another route after
only a few noun, trying to force
their way through the city'a defence! from the Southeast.
During the flnt raid battlea raged
from tht outskirts of th* London
trea all the way to the coast.
A "second communique, issued by
the Air and Home Security Minis-
tries, iaid the German! came over
ln three lucceuive wtvei tnd were
"scattered tnd driven bick."
The Air Ministry communique
announced the results of the morning raid wu issued from the Ministry of Information'! ipecial deep
shelter press room during the second raid.
The great Northwestern Industrial
trea of England wu the object of
additional night and dty German
raids, described li iome of the
heavieat of the war.
A mother and two children were
reported killed at Mancheiter and
a number of cottages wrecked. Reicue squads worked frantically to
get out a number of persons trapped
ln the wreckage.
Six personi were reported killed
and many Injured ln another West
coast area.
Manchester Is one of the largest
and most important industrial cities
of England. It hai a population of
760,000 and is 31 milei Eait ot Liverpool, to which it ia connected by
a large canal accommodating tea-
going vessels.
Still more raldi were aimed at
Southeaat England during the night
The home of the late Henry James,
the author, wu reported destroyed
at Rye, an ancient Southeastern
town sitting on a high rock promontory crowned by an ancient caitle
and fortress.
Bombs were dropped ln South-
eutern England while Nazi raiders
also were reported over two towns
In the industrial Midland!.
At tlmei u miny ai half a
dozen dogfights were going on 25,-
000 to 30,000 feet up in a cloudleii
sky.
Anti-aircraft gum gave the ralden their fint hot reception and
aaemed to have found the range, for
they continued firing for aeveral
minutei before R. A. F. Spitfires
and Hurricane! raced Into action.
During the fint 19 minutei ot
the London alarm there wu ne
tsuni ot Plane moton. Waffle
continued and was, if anything,
heavier than normal.
Friday la London'! traditional
pay day and banka were crowded.
A faw people took to air raid
ehelten but moat itood in doorways looking at the aky.
A few momenta before the sirens
sounded ambulances raced down
the streets to take their posts ai n
usual during a preliminary warning.
One group ot three German planei
appeared to have turned back toward the coait after tighten dived
on them.
The ralderi took full advantage ot
any wisps of clouds there were.
Three raiden which tried to take
cover were followed by one Spitfire fighter while two more waited
outside. As soon as Uie three came
out the two Spitfires attacked them
and the Germans headed for the
coast
A Northwest England area was
raided heavily several houra before
dawn.
There were two known dead in a
London residential section, where
two scream bombs fell. There were
at leut three killeed In an inland
town In the Northwest which reported its heaviest raids of the war.
Otherwise there was only sporadic activity, and the Britlih capital came through the night with
only a "stand-by" warning. The air
raid slreni were silent; anti-aircraft gum, except tot those In
one luburb, held their fire, and
millions of Londoners had their first
good night't ileep ln neirly a week.
The British Press Association said
the raiders which flew repeatedly
over a Northwest England town,
"dropped their bombs st random,
and some fell near a railway
station."
The Southeut ooestal area had
three raids during the night but thc
only definite damage reported wai
a leaside entertainment nail set on
fire. An Anoclated Press correspondent on the Southwest cout reported one raider there wai believed to have been downed by
anti-aircraft tire.
About 20 high exploiive and Incendiary bombs fell on a Northeut
cout town, trapping a family ot
three in the rulni of their house.
A rescue iquad got out the parents
and continued to search for their
son. The bombi fell In a residential
area, leaving a number of perions
homeless.
Elsewhere ln the Northeut, German planes dropped flares and in
rural district! a number of water
mains were ihattered.       ,
London'i "itand-by" warning
wu an innovation introduced in
order that factory work need not
be halted each time a lingle German bomber or a few approacn-
ing ralden were reported. In the
future, a "purple" light warning
in munitioni and othen planti, as
well u hospitals and public lervice stations, .will indicate Nazi
warplanes are near, to be followed
by the "red" lignal equivalent to
the sounding of sirens.
The London Preu, while acknowledging the 'unavoidable risks'
entailed by the new policy, approved. Newipapera' pointed out
that sounding the sirens for only a
few ralden interfered with Britaln'i war effort and cited a Government itatement that "everyone
is in the front line at this time"
and "must be prepared as a citizen', duty to take a rlik."
The resident of one London suburban district said he wai awakened by a "terrific explosion." He
added "everything seemed to sway
u if in an earthquake."
"A lone raider had dropped its
bomb and bolted," he said.
"Two houses were demolished,
and other houses over a large area
suffered iome damage from the
Wait, which left a large crater."
At least five persons were killed
during attack on one Northeastern
town. A few others were reported
injured severely.
A number of the cuualties
were caused when one ot the
raiders, apparently hard hit, Jettisoned its bombs on a large
housing development, all but demolishing three houses and badly
damaging several others on three
roads.
In another Northeastern area,
iome 30 incendiary bomba fell
around an isolation hospital,
One fell through the roof of a
ward from which all except two
patients had been removed to a
shelter. One was a convalescent
sailor who smothered the bomb
with blankets.
A matron In the hospital, where
there are some 40 patients, said
that except for the hole ln thc
roof "there was no damage." The
hospital lies some distance from
the ntarest town and ls surrounded by fields.
One or two personi were killed
and some 30 Injured during a nlgnt

Canada's Land, Sea and Air High!
Greatly Increased in First Year of War
By C.  R.  BLACKBURN
Canadian Preu Staff Writer
Canada, a land of peace, hu now
transformed itself Into a determined
belligerent spending almost $2,000,-
000 a day in a grim war effort
against Germany and Italy. Day by
day the war effort and the costs
grow.
GROWTH OF FORCES
Twelve months ago when Nail
Germany hurled its strength on
Poland and Canada followed Great
Britain and France into the conflict
the Dominion had a small standing
army, an insignificant air force, a
tiny navy. It had great capacity for
production of war materials, but
few orders.
Today the strength of the Canadian Active Service Force is 153,842,
of which 39,839 men are in England
guarding the island fortress beside
troops from other parts of the Empire.
Spectacularly, the Royal Canadian
Air Force hu grown into a great
striking force and continues to expand in size and strength. Its enlisted personnel on July 24 wu announced as 19,433 and now probably
exceeds 21,000. on the basis of a
weekly enlistment of 400. At the
outbreak of war R.C.A.F. itrength
was 4061.
Equally spectacular hu been the
growth ot the Royal Canadian Navy
—in ships from J5 to 21 Inside a
year and in men from 1700 to 10,-
000. For the first time In her history Canada has sent warships to
Great Britain to fight with the Royal Navy.
CHANGES IN CAPITAL
Ottawa, nerve centre of Canada's
unprecedented war effort, has undergone great transformation since
lut September. From this capital
is directed the administrative and
organizing force which hu sent 60,-
000 soldiers, sailors and airmen
overseas, created the nucleus of a
great home defense army, built up
a navy from the smallest beginning,
and established an air force.
Thii hu meant to Ottawa the addition ot thousands ot worken to
the public service, appropriation of
every foot of available office ipace,
conitructlon of two large temporary
office structures and creation of
new  departments  of  government.
After the Initial ytar of tha flnt
Greit War Canada had more mtn
overseas than in the pruent instance but conditions were far different, although the aame enemy
threatened.
Then the main effort wu to put
manpower on the front line to hold
the enemy or drive him back from
his entrenchments. Now the call on
Canada Is for men but alio tor materials ln staggering quantities, for
air tighten and tor assistance ln
keeping the Atlantic lanes open.
To meet thli responsibility tha
Government has iet up Ministries
for Air and Naval Services within
the Defence Department, a new Department ot Munitions and Supply,
and a new Department of National
War Services.
AIR DEVELOPMENT
Most impreuive of all phases of
the war effort is the air development. In addition to building the
Roytl Canadian Air Forct Into a
powerful unit which hu bten on
active lervlce defending Eaitern
and Weitern shores alnce the war
began, Canada hu given leadership
and administration for the gigantic
Air Training Plan, which la deiigned to turn out an endless flood of
trained air penonnel from all parta
of the Empire.
In July and Auguit, 1915, after
a year of conflict, Canada wu mobilizing men for service oveneai as
a chief war responsibility. Indui-
trial development for war purposes
wai practically nil—lt wai to come
later. There wu little or no thought
of the possibility of the Dominion
being Invaded.
After a year of war ln the present
struggle Canada hu not only aent
two diviiioni to England but hai
provided garrisons for certain of
the Britiih Weit lndiei, Iceland,
Newfoundland, and the strategic Atlantic and Pacific fortification!.
Naval and air units operating on
both coasts, particularly on the Atlantic, convoying merchant fleets,
patrolling against possible attack!
by air or water and aulltlng tba
naval blockade of Europe,
Prime Minister Mackenzie King,
alwaya a man of peace and criticized by his political opponents tor
failure to cooperate fully with tha
British Government In dofence mat-
ten, was in office with a record-
breaking majority when war broke

and obtained almoit unanimous approval f6r a declaration ot wtr on
Germany. Within seven monthi after wtr itarted he want to tbe

Diplomatically, the mott Important war development tor Canada

agreed on a plan to establish a Joint

2 U.J. Missionaries
Killed In Sudan
CAIRO, Aug. 30 (AP.-The Governor General of the Sudan announced today that two American
missionaries were killed and two
wounded by "deliberate" Italian
machine-gunning ot an Isolated missionary post in the Sudan.
The Governor-General of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is a British officer appointed by Egypt with British assent. Administration, however,
is carried out through British district commissioners.
The large territory, Just South of
Egypt, has been under repeated
Italian attacks, particularly on the
Eastern frontier near Gallabat, opposite Ethiopia, and Kassala, opposite Eritrea.
The Governor's report said that
two Italian planes attacked Doro,
an Isolated station of the Sudan
Interior Mission, in Upper Nile
Province about 55 miles Southwest
of Kurkuk, Aug. 23.
At least 30 bombs were dropped
and then the Italian fliers used their
machine guns, the report said.
Of the staff of five persons, It
said, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Grieve
were killed and Rev. and Mrs. Kenneth Oglesby were wounded. All
are Americans.
A Miss Walsh, an Australian, was
unhurt.
The Grieves were said to have run
out of the mission station waving a
large American flag but this failed
to ward off the machine-gun attack
by the Italians.
TORONTO. Aug. 30 (CP)-Offic-
ials of the Sudan Interior Mission
here said today they had received
a cable confirming the death of Dr.
and Mrs. Robert Grieve in the
bombing by Italian planes of an
isolated Sudan Interior Mission at'
Doro Aug. 23.
Although Dr. Grieve and his wife
had been born in the United States
they were well known in Canadian
missionary circles. Dr. Grlevc's
father was a native of Ontario. He
now lives in Spokane, Wash.

New "War Paint"
Puzzles Germans
BERLIN, Aug. 30 (AP) - Same-
thing "resembling rough black soot"
smeared on some British planes
making them difficult to see at
night. Is giving German chemists
something to analyze informed
sources said today. This new "war
paint" absorbs the rays of German
searchlights."
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (API-
Development of a paint which so
reduced the visibility of an airplane that it was able to run a
gauntlet of searchlights without
being detected was reported by
United Statei Army Air Corps officers today.
Commenting on reports from Ber-
lis. that the Royal Air Force is using a sooty coating to b'ick out
their bombers, the officers said the
U. S. Army has been using a special buff paint which absorbs light
so that when subjected to the glare
of • searchlight lt reflects few rays

(Canadian Press Staff Writer).
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (CP). -
The proposal to build a military
highway from the United States to
Alaska through British Columbia
probably is one of the questions before the joint Canada-United States
Defence Board, it was indicated today.
Anthony J. Dimond, Democratic
delegate to the House of Representatives from Alaska and a strong supporter of the highway plan, said in
an interview that such a road would
be essential to any Joint defence
agreement between Canada and the
United States.
He stated that he believed the
matter had been discussed at the
Ogdensburg, N. Y„ meeting between
Prime Minister Mackenzie King and
President Roosevelt and that il was
also on the agenda of the Defence
Board considerations.
Before Mr. Roosevelt went to Og-
densburgh, Mr. Dimond sent him a
telegram reminding him of the importance of the highway North
American detence.
A reliable official source aaid "It
is reasonable to assume" that the
highway plan is among the questions before the Defence Board, although East coast defence would
likely be considered before any
West Coast program,
The cost nas been a stumbling
block so far. It has been estimated
by different authorities here at anywhere from $15,000,000 to about
$125,000,000. Mr. Dimond said cost
would not exceed (25,000,000 and
the highway could be completed ln
18 months, and possibly ln a year.
The Alaskan representative has
been ln Congress since 1932 md
has lived in Alaska, moit of hli
life working aa a prospector and
practicing law.
He said that If the United States
fleet was forced to move from the
Pacific to the Atlantic it would leave
Alaska totally undefended and
"with Alaska in possession ot an
enemy the United Statei Is ln
Jeonardy."
"In my opinion the building ot
this road In order .to ensure the
continuous supply of our military
posts snd bases ln Alaska ls not
only of great but of outstanding
importance," he added.
"I think it is absolutely vital to
start the construction of the road
right away and to rush lt to completion. Otherwise we may some
day find ourselves with some perfectly good defence works, by tha
way of air bases, in Alaska but
without adequate means of supply*
ing them."
Mr. Dimond declared he had every confidence In the Canadian
spirit ot cooperation on this matter
for it means, he laid, as much to
the Defence of Canada aa it does to
the Defence of the United States.
"The dense population and tha
Eastern seaboard will almost Inevitably act as a magnet to draw tht
neat wealth concentrated on our
fleet to the Atlantic in the case ot
serious trouble," he said.
"I ask how the military ami
naval forces and the civilian population ln Alaska are to be supplied
unless we build, and build fmme-
diately, the highway to Alaska?"
Cromwell Thinks U.S. Can Be Greater
Help by Slaying a Benevolent Neutral
TORONTO, Aug. 80 (CP)—James
H. R. Cromwell, former United
States Minister to Canada, today
declared his conviction that the United States "can do more to assist
the Empire's cause" by remaining r
benevolent neutral rather than taking an active part in the war.
Addressing the press dsy luncheon at the Canadian National Exhibition, Mr. Cromwell coupled his
declaration with an expression of
opinion that the average American
is turning away from isolationism
The American, he said, has begun
to question the validity of the doctrine that the ruthless destruction
of Christian ethics beyond the frontiers of our own continent is no
affair of his."
Mr. Cromwell reiterated his belief that the United States should
transfer 60 over-age destroyers to
the Royal Navy—10 more than the
50 usually mentioned in discussions
in this matter—and urged strong
cooperation in defensive efforti on
the part of Canada and the United
States.
He devoted much of his speech
to a castigation of "that noisy but
Ineffectual little group of men with
little minds, our professional Isolationists," whom he called "Trojan
jackasses" with "loud and futile
brays."
Sentiment In the United States,
he told his Canadian audience, is
strongly against participation in the
war but at the same time the vast
majority is strongly in favor of aiding Britain.
He said he ls convinced that the
United States should remain a benevolent neutral because "it is obvious that the longer my country
remains out of war, the longer time
we have to prepare our defences.
The stronger our fleet and land
forces becqme, the greater will be
our restraining influence on the dictator powers.'
It was Mr. Cromwell's first major
speech in Canada since March 19
when he said in Toronto that no
citizen of a neutral country could
be indifferent to the war in which
he believed the Allies were fighting for the perpetuation of individual freedom and liberty.
"You may remember the veritable
storm of abuse and contumely which
met that speech across the border,
he said. "And you all know how
completely my contention and my
warning b my fellow countrymen
has been justified by the course at
events.
"Yet despite all that has occurred
since May 10 (when Germany in-
vided Holland and Belgium) wa
find these same groups .,, continuing their campaign of abuse and
calumny against any official who
has the courage and abnegation to
point out to his people the dangers
now so imminent. ;..
"You have witnessed, only recently, the threats, insults and petty
sarcasms heaped upon the head of
Ambassador Bullitt for his... courageous speech delivered at Independence Square in Philadelphia.
You have heard one isolationist
Senator go so far aa to term Mr.
Bullitt a traitor; the same Senator,
in fact, who last March accused ma
of treason."
Mr. Bullitt has been vindicated.
he said, by the vote in the Senite
last week ln which approval waa
given to the United Statea peacetime conscription bill.
"The enactment of the conscription bill shows that in the states
public sentiment has been aroused,"
ne said. "My country is aware of
the danger which threatens It from
abroad . . . and from within."
He said the United States has
come to the realization that President Roosevelt was "advocating thi
Christian way when, ln 1937, with
extraordinary courage and foresight, he suggested that America
Join with other nations ln quarantining aggressors."
Without naming him, Mr. Cromwell criticized Col. Charles A. Lindbergh for his recent isolationist
speeches, saying:
"But a great aviator, who Is far
more a credit to. his country ln the
air than on the air, professes to
view with equanimity the spectacle
pf America isolated in a totalitarian
world. Now if our aviators are
henceforth to assume the ralmenti
of statesmanship and shape our foreign policies, I hope that • coucga
ln political economics will be ln^
eluded in the air training curriculum."

Urquhart Couldn't
Get Nelson to Act
To Th* WMor of tht Dally Newa:
Sir-
Referring to your article in Friday  morning's  paper re  lacrotse
playoMs:
The President hu been trying
tor three .weeka to gtt a referee
appointed by Nelion. Thli matter
wu taken up with the Nelson Club
Management u soon u Mr. DesBrisay told me he wu moving to
Trail. Last. week the President
phoned Ne)son twice to get aome
action but without results.
At the annual meeting the ques
tlon ot the West Kootenay finals
wu discussed and it wu decided
that the semi-finals would be ■
two out of three aerlea and that
the finals wouM b* a'three out of
five series, and the mlnutu of thia
meeting were sent to Mr. Stibbs u
Vice-President, but the League
never received a reply. There was
not a Nelson representative at the
annual meeting, of which they were
duly notified, and to *!l correspondence with the Nelson Club since
the beginning ot the seuon I have
only received ona reply.
In order to give the Nelaon Club
no grounds for-complaint, the
President made arrangements with
Mr. Brennen on Thursday evening
to act In Friday's game.
It ia only (air of the Nelaon New*
u a reputable newspaper to at
leut ascertain the facta from the
League official! and not apy one
club before making rash apd Unfounded statements.

LONDON, Aug. 30 (CP)-Brlt-
ain today ia a happy country; Thtt
ia the strangest thing that has happened to ui in all this strange year.
I am a happy manl My home hai
been broken up, my child la ln on*
part ot the country, my possessions
in another. My wife and I ar* In a
third, living in a stranger's house,
overtaxed, overworked, uncertain of
the future, cut off from moat ot our
small pleasures, restricted ln our
movements , threatened with
invulon..
But we are happier than vje wera
11 month! ago.
Twenty-two yeara of unnatural
living are behind the change. They
began ln 1918 when a million or
two ot our aoldiers came home vowing that there ahould be no more
war tor any reaion whatever.
Aa time went on, ignoring all tha
evidence, we deluded ourselves
that a tough, revengeful people
could be won away from their pur-
pose by our disarmament.
Our more amiable qualities —
readiness to believe other men's
word, friendliness toward a beaten
enemy — helped to foater the
delusion.
We upheld the League of Nations
with promises which we could not
perform. We tried to periuade our-
selves that we could tame the Italian lion by letting him run about
loose, but keeping hla food away
torn him.
Disillusion was slow and painful.
It began for us in China. It went
on in Abyssinia, Spain, Austria and
Czechoslovakia.
At lut came Munich. Happy or
bitter, all ol ua knew them — or
very loon afterwards — that the
dream was over.
We took stock of our armaments
and set to work to make good tbe
yean that the locust had eaten.
And all through the year that
followed, u we tuned up our armament factories, built our air raid
shelters and trained our civilian
army, we grew more bitter u we
realized more fully how we had
bean fooled.

all of ua hung the certainty ot lou
and destruction of hopes, we wtr*
happy at lut
We have had bad times since then.
We were distressed and worried by
the Aphony war" and angered by
tha retreat from Norway. There
were black days when Leopold laid
down hla arms with a suddenness
that invited a harder nam*, when
our troopa teemed inescapably trapped at • Dunkerque, when Petain
withdrew France from tha struggle
and left us to tight alone.
When France surrendered lt
seemed tor the fint and lut time
that we might not win.
But the good times have outweighed the bad.
The rapturous ecitasy ot the
whole British ptoplt ovtr the reicue of the B. E. F. from Dunkerque wu not wholly, or even
mainly, joy at th* laving of huibandt tnd ton*.
It was tha happiness ot recovering
our faith ln ounelvei, upped by
yeara of unnatural, meekneas in
the face ot insolent injustice. When
the heroic atory ot Dunkerque became known, every Briton aald ta
himself exultantly: "By God, we
are a great people still. We are the
great lighters and adventurers of
the world. What other army and
navy could have done it?"
From that moment thia nation
wai twice u formidable u It had
been before.
Wt htve had other rapturous
moments, when Narvik or Oran or
the River Plata showed that we had
recovered our ancient knack ol
striking hard and quick, without
waiting to apologize beforehand,
when we knew that right wu on
our ilde.
This year of war has been for us
a proceu ot discovering that we
still have the barbaric virtues which
we haye been to busy condemning
tor 21 yean-
Our young men are itill capable
of being ilfliple-hearted and heroic.
The boy* who a ftw yetn tgo aa
students it Oxford were announcing
that they would not fight tor King
and Country, htve fought the Germans ln the sky with such a fantastic daring that the outside world
finds It hard to believe the stories
of their vlctorlet.
We have no exaggerated respect
for one of our enemies and the
moit complete contempt tor the
other.
We tre buay, pleued with what
we have done to far, delighted to
find that we can atlll enjoy discomfort tnd danger adventurously.

U.S. Air Training
Plan Resembles
Empire Scheme
By ROSS MUNRO '
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (CP)-
A* a major feature of the preparedness, drive, the United States ia
swiftly developing an air training
plan to turn out 7000 r'lot* a year
for the army air cropi. The scheme
is somewhat similar to the British
Commonwealth Air Training plan
and it was intimated in official military circles here that the two plans
could be coordinated lt the necessity
arose.
In addition to the pilot training
program, the United State* also
will train 3600 gunner-bombardieri
and navigators annually, it was
learned at the War Department.
This development ii to provide
airmen for the 10,000 combat and
training planes being built tor
the United States army and navy
at present and for the steadily
Increasing production of aircraft
planned for the next two years.
It ls expected by the administration that a productive capacity of
30,000 planes a year will be reached during 1942.
Waihington looke on President
Roosevelt as "a navy man" but he
shows a particularly keen Interest
in the progress of the army air corps
the principal air arm in the United States which has no separate air
forct. The navy has planes of ita
own but the air situation ls dominated by the army.
At a press conference thia week, '
Mr. Roosevelt took most of the 45-
minute parley with newwnen to discuss plane production and air training. He knew all the answers and
talked with enthusiasm of progress made. Down at the War De-
reali_M_ and sympathizes with, the
partment they say the President
problems of building up the air
corps. The military men feel they
are getting real support from the
White House, which il the propeil-.
Ing force In Washington today on
many weighty Issues.

Dominions
Men and
to Help Britain in War
Rallying
Supplies
By H. M. PETERS
Cinadian Preaa Staff Writer
Atter a year of war Hitler sprawls
over Europe, behind him a itrlng of
military triumphs over weaker nations. Before him, rising to greater
military strength than ever before,
stand Great Britain and the Empire. That's the picture—after a
year of war. Britain haa been fight-
ing for 12 months—in Belgium and
France and Norway and Africa—
aqd has yet to achieve her maximum itrength. She li Juat itarting
matt production of airplanes, to
show Germany what she is capable
of doing ln the air. The Royal Navy
is stronger than lt was in September, 1839.
BACKED BY DOMINIONS
Behind her, contributing a never-
ending stream of men and war materials, are Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and other nations of the
Empire. Like Britain, they also are
just starting to mass-produce the
instruments of war that will stop
Hitler.
After a year of wtr Hitler finds
hit grettett enemy — Britain — far
more formidable than the Britain
of 1939 or indeed, the Britain of
the First Great War. He hai little
time to review his luccesses against
the weak nations because British
bombing planes, steadily becoming
more and more numeroui, are dropping bombs on Germany every
-  night.
A year of war, itarted Sept. I
1939, when Germany invaded Poland, divided itself into four main
phase*:
1. The Eutern campaign ln which
Germany and Russia defeated tnd
divided Poland, and Russia attacked
Finland.
1 2. The Winter of defensive behind
the Maginot Line and the Westwall,
of naval blockade and conflict it
tea.
.. Land war in the West, the German overrunning of five nations
from Norway South to France.
4. The Battle of Britain and the
' attendant Anglo-Italian war in Africa. '
Poland wat fighting atubbornly
when the Russians invaded her
Sept 17, from the East Then the
fight was over. Russia aoon fumed
upon little Finland, and finally,
after a hard struggle, penetrated
the Karelian Isthmus defences (VI-
borg) and other concessions.
The Polish campaign gave the
first real hint that this war was
.not to be fought as other wars. The
Germans threw mechanized troops
out far ahead of the main troops
to disrupt communications, always
in cloie cooperation with the air
force. Subsequently in other campaigns the weapons of espionage,
of fifth columns, ideological propaganda and of parachute troops further emphasized the difference be;
tween the Second Great War and Its
predecessor of 1914-18.
WINTER CAMPAIGNS
Through the Winter wai waged a
war of position. It was the stage of
the defensive behind the Maginot
Line, the naval blockade of Germany and the examination of ships
going to neutral countries surrounding the Reich.
In this period came the Winter's
brightest spot, the flashing of naval
guns off Montevideo ln the 14-hour
running lea-fight in which three
British cruisers—the Exeter, Achilles and Ajax—disabled and drove
the pocket battleship Admiral Graf
East on Alert
for Defence
of America
By JOHN LaBLANC
Canadltn Prtu Stiff Writer
At Canada'a first line of defence
m this continent, the Maritime provinces tfter a year of war stand
u yet untouched by actual battle
bristling with defences enlarged
and strengthened in the months of
conflict
Just at the transition from peace
to war did to 1914-15, the year has
done much to change the face of
these Eastern provinces. Now the
war dominates their life, and always in the background is the certainty if an invtsion ever comes,
■the Maritimes will be the striking
point
Key cities tre ready for that eventuality. An elaborate air-raid precautions setup ia in full swing, with
even mobile dressing stations ready
in some places. The navy takes care
of the threat by water, with big
gunt, too, guarding the shores.
Industrially and economically also
the war haa left Its stamp on the
Maritimes. Factories that used to
turn out materials of peace are
grinding out shells by the tens of
thouiands. Coal mining production
is up. Farmers are striving to produce more, with the Empire's needs
in view.
The recent appointment of Major'
General W.H.P. Elkins to Canada's
new Eastern Military Command is
direct evidence of the Marltime's
importance In the defence of the
Dominlbn. General Elkins is responsible for guarding thousands of
mllet of coastline.
LONG COASTLINE
The shores of Nova Scotia. New
. Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are ln General Elkins' com-
mand as well as the coasts of Newfoundland, the Gaspe Peninsula and
the North shore of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence.
Organization of thii new command reminded the people of the
Maritimes and adjacent territory
they were not only in thtt pirt of
Canada closest to the Empire's enemies in Europe, but also a vital
link ln the Empire's war organization.
Harbor traffic ls booming in "Eut
cout Canadian ports". The . long
convoys come and go, preceded by
.mineiweeper! and flanked by the
watchdogs of the navy.
Spee Into the Uruguayan capital,
ending t threat to Allied and neutral shipping in the South Atlantic.
The flnt contingent ot the Canadian Active Service Force landed
in the United Kingdom Dec. IT and
others followed during the Winter
until a atrength of two divisions in
the United Kingdom wu attained.
Later on Australian! and New Zeal-
anderi joined In the defence of Britain.
The third stage—war of movement—opened with dramatic iud-
dennets April 9 when Germany Invaded and then overran Denmark
and Southern Norway. Denmark
accepted the rule of force from the
start, but the Norwegians fought
bravely and welcomed the British
and French troops in an effort to
drive out the Invaders.
But although the Allies landed
in some strength at Namsos and Andalsnes In mid-Norway and around
Narvik in the far North, the Germans were too securely based, to be
ousted. Their air force commanded
the Skagerrak, across which they
ferried troops ln great numbers.
The Allied troops had to be withdrawn from' Central Norway on
May 1. Subsequent events in the
Low Countries and France compelled withdrawal of the Allied forces from Narvik for other duties.
CHAMBERLAIN   RESIGNATION
The Norwegian campaign brought
about the resignation of Prime. Minister Chamberlain and the choice
of Winston Churchill, First Lord of
the Admiralty, to succeed him. Mr.
Churchill, declaring to the country
that he had nothing to offer but
"blood and tears, toil and aweat,"
formed a truly national government, with ministers ranging from
L. S. Amery, the Tory diehard, on
the extreme right, icross the
breadth of British political life to
Ernest Bevin, trades union executive, on the left.
Mr. Churchill's acceeslon to office
to oppose Hitler whose policies he
had fought for five yeara came on
the very day that Germany smashed
into the Netherlands and Belgium.
In their determination to remain
neutral, King Leopold of Belgium
and Queen Wilhelmint of the Netherlands had refused to discuss defense measures with the Allies.
This refusal wu fatal. The British and French troops moved into
the Lbw Countries from behind the
"Little" Maginot Line on the
French-Belgian border but no proper cooperation could be set up to
weld the Allied troops into a unified
fighting force.
At the psychological moment the
ermam smashed with their mechanized forces at the hinge, near historic Sedan, where the advancing
French troops pivoted from the permanent Maginot Line.
Tiie Germans broke through, and
crossed the Meuse River and split
off the British Expeditionary Force
from the main French Army. The
Netherlands had already surren-
deredxand on May 26 King Leopold
ordered, the Belgian Army to lay
down its aims.
The defeat of France followed
quickly. While Britain made an
amazing rescue of more than 300,-
000 British and French troops from
Dunkerque, Itily entered the war
on Germany's side and struck at
France. The French sued for peace.
The war's fourth stage opened
with Hitler's declaration that Britain must "capitulate" or he would
destroy the Empire, Britain fights.
DESTROYER ESCORT
EXAMPLE OF UNITY
OTTAWA, Aug. 30 (CP). - The
interlocking cooperation of the
British Commonwealtha in the war
is demonstrated by another successful operation of Canadian destroyers. Navy Minister Macdonald
said at a Preu conference today.
"During June it wu announced
that an exceptionally large contingent of Australian troops had arrived safely in England," the Minister said.
"An example of Empire unity
and cooperation ll provided by the
fact that the destroyer escort was
composed of H. M. C. S. Fraser,
Restigouche, St. Laurent and
Skeena."

New French Plan
to Cultivate Ml
Abandoned Land
[ VICHY, France, Aug. 30 (AP>.-
The French Government embarked
on a sweeping land reclamation pro-
?ram today by ordering prefects ot
11 departments to place under cultivation immediately all arable property which haa been abandoned
more than two years.
' A decree published ln the official
Journal stipulated property owners
who had abandoned the land would
I be given one month in which to
| return to cultivate their farms be-
I lore the prefects would appoint new
r tenants.
I AU Frenchmen "having sufficient
means and technical knowledge"
can be accorded nine years tenants'
rights over such land, with priority going to farmers living nearest
the property and to fathers having
the most children.
The prefect-appointed tenants
%ill pay no rent to the owners of
' the property the first three years
and thereafter will pay only half
the normal rent.
The property reclamation decree
vas backed up by another ordering
eonstltution of groups of agricultural apprentices between the ages
ot 14 and 17, who will be hired out
to any farmer approved by a committee of local officials.
The farmer will be obliged to pay
the apprentice's board and lodging, as well as a salary to be fixed
by the government. In turn, the
farmer will receive a 900-franc
(nominally between $15 and $21)
Indemnity trom the state.

War Industry
Rises to Need
Canada's Industrial plant, accelerating and expanding from day to
day under the drive of war, has
taken governmental war orders estimated at approximately $300,000,-
000 in the first year of the war.
The almost daily publication of
war orders means that Canadian
Industry ls rising to the needs ot
war on a grand scale. Air training depots are to be built and to be
equipped, army camps enlarged and
equipped for Winter occupation, naval craft are to be built, the enlisted forces to be clothed and armed.
The result will be that Canada
ts producing war material as never
before. Plant building is lergely accounted for by three categories of
need: explosives, arms and commodities for manufacture of metals and
chemicals.
Of war orders placed, the largest
ls for aircraft and aircraft supplies.
It ls worth about $75,000,000. Mechanical transport, shipbuilding and
construction run this figure a close
second. A large item is for clothing
for the armed forces and in anticipation of the general military
training plan.

War Sleeks Take
a Quick Rally
on Wall SI Exch.
NEW YORK. Aug. 80 (AP)-The
stock market, pulled a surprise rallying rabbit out ot the hat today.
The list wu mildly Improved at
the start but subsequently slowed
and prices wavered. Buying In rails
then touched off > -unup Tn steels,
motors and other Industrial leaders.
Gains for favorites ranged from 1
to more than 2 points, with dealings
faster than in the past two weeks.
Despite intermittent sluggishness,
volume stepped up to eround 850,000
shares, or about double that of the
preceding aesaion. Quotations were
shaved in many cases at the close
by a little profit taking on the
bulge.
Bullishness, brokers said, apparently was bolstered by the brightening domestic buslne-: picture. Hopefulness for quick congressional action on conscription and taxes also
were said to have in spired a better
attitude toward the stock department.
Canadian Pacific and Hiram
Walker gained fractions. Dome
Mines and Mclntyre 1 :re unchanged. In the bond market Canada 4s
held unchanged.
New Grader to Handle
Creston Apple Crop
CRESTON, B. C.-To cope with
the enlarged 1940 apple crop, Long.
Allan Sc Long, Ltd., have stepped up
packing capacity to 2200 boxes per
day, with the installation of a new
8-section Cutler grader at their
warehouse at Erickson, which is
now ready for operation.
The new machine, with eight bins
on either side, was Installed to facilitate the more economical operation of the firm's main Cutler grader
by taking care of the shorter runs
of 100 and 200 boxes which are frequent with light plantings in some
of the varieties, and which cannot
be handled to advantage on the
larger machine.
The additional grader will require
a crew of nine, and with both machines running to capacity the firm
will employ 34 sorters, packers,
truckers, etc. aAs In former years the
warehouse staff will be in charge
of Fred Hale with A. E. Towson as
receiver.

CAUSED BY WHEAT CRISIS
EDMONTON, Aug. 30 (CP). -
Alberta Is experiencing a surplus
of farm labor because of the current wheat crisis, M. W. Robertson, General Superintendent of the

Carries the Reno
Says Ellis Report
Annual report of W. S. Ellis, General Superintendent ot the Reno
Gold Mines Ltd, operations at
Sheep Creek, covering 10 months
ending April 30—new fiscal yeer
end 01 the Company—followa:
Sheep Creek, B.C,
To the President and
Board ot Directors,
Reno'Gold Mines Ltd.
Gentlemen:
Herewith operating report of
Reno Gold Mines, Ltd, for the ten
months ending April 30th, 1940:
Ore porduced from the Motherlode Mine with small amounts from
the Bluestone and Reno mlnea have
sufficed for the operation ot the
mill at about 76 per cent capacity
since October 10, 1939. Exploration
and development have been continuous in the Motherlode and Blue-
stone mines while the 4900 tunnel
has been stopped after Intersecting
the Nugget vein at 640 feet of depth
below tne old workings. A small
amount of lateral development was
done on the .Nugget vein, at .thia
new horizon. Moderately successful
results have been' obtained in the
operation of the. Motherlode mine
but work, ln the Bluestone haa been
disappointing.	
MILLING      	
A tonnage of 21,394 was milled
during the aix.and one-half months
that the mill was ln operation. Ot
this total the Motherlode supplied
18,361 tons, the Bluestone 1766 tons
while salvaging operations at the
old Reno furnished 1267 tons. Average tonnage per day was 104.87 and
the average per operating day was
108.64. Average tailings losa per ton
of ore milled waa .007 ounces of
gold. Percentage extraction waa
98.23, Mill performance haa been
satisfactory except for excessive
sliming at times caused by argillaceous wall-rock.
Production for the aix and one-
half montha that the mill operated
was $310,247.78. Total production to
April 30,1940, is $5,028,932.17.
MOTHERLODE MINE
Total development ln the Motherlode mine for then ten months
July 1, 1939, to April 30, 1940, ls
tabulated as follows:
Feet
Drifting : .1,360.0
Cross-cutting  181.5
Raising       423.0
Sinking   88.0
Total     2/163.1
The development of this mine
from the 4900 level has shown the
failure ot the ore-shoots disclosed at
this lower horizon to have continuity upwards to the ore-shoots
of the old workings. Commercial
ore la in the form of lenses with
barren intervals In an ore zone. By
means ot a small two-compartment
winze the No. 11 level haa been
partly driven 129 feet below the 4900
level. Results to date on this new
level indicate that exploration to
further depth Is Justified.
With practically the full burden
of supplying the mill falling On the
Motherlode and with only medium
sized ore-shoots discovered to date,
blocked out ore in.tbls_n_ne has
been continuously meagre.
Reserves of positive ore available
In the Motherlode as at April 30,
1940, amounted to 4000 tons containing an average of 0.30 ounces
of gold per ton. Reasonably assured ore at the present date
amounts to 95O0 tons, averaging 0.30
ounces of gold per ton. Reasonably
assured ore at the present date
amounts to 5500 tons averaging 0.30
ounces of gold per ton. This tonnage is principally ore disclosed in
the work on the new No. 11 leveL
NUQQET MINE ,
Total development In the Nugget
mine for the year was as follows:
Feet
Drifting   S—.. 435.9
Cross-cutting 1,1975
Total ....  1,633.1
The greater portion of the above
amount of crou-cutting waa In the
4900 tunnel. This tunnel was stopped when the Nugget vein waa
intersected. The vein aa disclosed
at this new horizon la non-commercial.
BLUESTONE MINE
Total development ln the Blue-
stone tor the year was aa follows:
Feet
Drifting  1,105.5
Cross-cutting  169.5
Raising ...... „ .     40.5
Sinking P  154.5
Total   1,470.0
Diamond drilling 1-244.7
Resulta obtained In the exploration of this vein have been disappointing. The disclosure of a
length of 50 feet of good values on
the 5600 level Induced the sinking
of a winze to the No. 3 level. While
the vein on the new level is structurally strong gold values are low.
The ore on the 9600 level proved
to be a pocket extending 50 feet
upward and 29 .feet below the level.
At April 30, 1940, there  was no
Bostlve ore.  At the  present  date
lere are 300 tons reasonably assured.
PROGRAM  POR YEAR
AHEAD      .
The 4900 tunnel will not be advanced under the Fawn Basin until
sufficient encouragement la found
In that area to justify the expense.
A prospect tunnel has been started
opposite the Fawn workings to explore the possibility that the Fawn
veins have corresponding veins in
the Reno Quartiites. Thla prospect
tunnel will be driven until It is in
the favorable formation and diamond drilling done both to the North
and to the South. Surface drilling
tn this section ls not advantageous
as the favorable formation has overlying argillltles and deep overburden. Diamond drilling will also
be done from the Bluestone for
parallel veins.
In the vertical range of 1000 feet
ln the old Nugget workings there
were two ore-shoots with a barren
hprizon intervening. Although the
vein at the 4900 level ia non-commercial it is felt that a raise from
the 4900 level ls Justified to explore
the possibilities of the 840 feet to
the bottom Of the old workings.
With little help from other sources
the continuous drain of mill-feed
trom the Motherlode mine at a higher rate than it can comfortably produce has kept the ore reserves at a
precariously low level. Ore-shoots
at the deep level are smaller than
In the old mine and do not follow
a regular pattern but mining costs
have been considerably lower than
In the Reno and thla mine even
after carrying development charges
Of other sections Of the properly
has provided a moderate monthly
operating profit. Results obtained in I

Norwegians Join
(anadian Marine
HALIFAX, Aug. SO (CP)-Hun-
dreds of men of the Norwegian
Merchant Marine have donned naval uniforms here to take up the
fight against the Naii invaders who
govern their country.
The Norwegians, in groups of
about 200, are being sent to another
East Coast Canadian Port for training under officers of the Norwegian
navy who escaped to this country
after Hitler invaded their homeland.
About 1200 men are expected to
be enrolled before long. An estimated 800 already are in uniform. The
Norwegians are expected to engage
in coastal patrol duties after their
period of training ls ooncluded.
The great majority of them have
come from' whaling fleets which
put into this port in the last few
weeks, unwilling to return to a
German-dominated Norway after
the whaling season. As many as 200
men have joined from one of the
huge mother ships. The little killer
vessels, about the slie of trawlers,
contribute fewer numbers.    "

Weight With Britain"
BOMBAY, Aug. 30   (OP)-India
with all her vast millions in man'
power will throw her full weight
into the struggle with Britain
against the Axis powers only if
India'i independence is acknowledged, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
former president of the Indian National  Congress, declared today.
Nehru said the Aug. 8 statement
by Lord Linlithgow, Viceroy of
India, reiterating promises ot "Empire partnership" between India
and Britain at the end of tbe war
as actually a continuation of the
entire British policy of creating and
aggravating disruptive tendencies,
crushing nationalism and advance
elements in favor of feudal and
recationary croups so as to consolidate Britiah Imperialism."

al See Every Day'
OTTAWA, Aug. 80 (CP)— Con.
tlnued successful watch and ward
of Hii Majesty's ships, Including the
HS ships cf tbe Koyal Canadian
Navy, over the sea lanes that link
the Empire, waa illustrated by ity
figures preiented to a preu conference today by Navy Minister
Macdonald.
The Minister noted that "over
690 vessels ot the British naviei
are at tea every day." Since the
wtr broke out more than 82,000
merchant ships have been escorted
in convoy with a Ion ot 80.
Great Britain continues to receive tood and fighting material
despatched In thousandi of tons of
shipping, much of it convoyed from
Canadian porta by Canadian ships,
the Mlniiter said.
During tht IQ weeks ended Aug.
3 total import! to the United Kingdom were 9,930,545 toni ot which 2,-
676,223 tons were food, 2,880,022
tons oil, and 2,212,716 minerals.
Up to Aug. 17, he pointed out,
enemy mercantile losses totalled
1,212,000 tons, British total shipping
lossei were 1,348,565 tons. The British, plus Allied and neutral losses
totalled 2.558,335 tons.
Merchant vessels to tht number
of 179, totalling 1,300,000 tons are
under construction in tile United
Kingdom alope, with numeroui
other vessels being built throughout the Empire. Mr. Macdonald
•aid merchant marine vessels as
well ai naval craft were under
construction In Cinadian shipyards.
The total allied merchant marine
tonnage, he said, la between ilx
and seven millions exclusive of
800,000 toni of Danish and French
shipping, and 750,000 tons of neutral shipping ln Allied service.
French Prisoners
May Go to Germany
LES VHRREBRES, French-Swiss
Frontier, Aug. 80 (AP)—Informed
sources declared today the German Army of occupation la considering taking all French war
prisoners from the occupied zone
to Germany because of a growing
conviction the war will continue
at least through the Winter.
More than 1,000,000 prisoners are
Involved, it wai said.
The Germani would free these
men in occupied territory but the
fear of sabotage and disorders, it
was said, and the Vichy Government, is unequipped to care for
them in the French zone not under
occupation.
Furthermore, these sources said
iome supplies earmarked for German occupying forcei and troops
preparing for the battle of Britain
are being used for war prisoners
because of the inability of French
authorities to feed them properly.
Canada's Aid
Cheers Britain
■y EDWIN S. JOHNSON
(Canadian Pren staff Wrlttr)
LONDON, Aug. II (CP)-At the
cloie of the first yttr of war, Canada stands by tht side of the
Mother Country ln the Battle of
Britain. Residents of thU embattled
Island have ever the cheery word
tor tht youngest Dominion tnd ita
mounting aid In men md munitions.
When the First Diviiion ctmt to
England in chill December, the
country'i hospitality warmed tht
hearts of tbe shivering Canadians.
"Canada'' on broad khaki shoulders
promised aid to tbe Allies ln a battle really not begun.
Announcement of the Commonwealth Air Training scheme ln December and lta development, tfter
tarly delays, to wider scope thin
planned wai accepted ln official
circle! as one of the war's heaviest
moril itrokei agalnit Hitler. Soon
Canida will be producing highly
trained ilrmen ln iuch numbers n
to turn the tide of battle In tht
tkiei.
Canada's own fliers, who aaw
little action until the "baby blltz-
krelg" of August, swept into the
battle to ready British cheers. Recalling the daredevil Canadians of
the First Great War, the public
watched the tallies of potential Canadian "acei" almost more eagerly
than ot the battle-tried English pilots who fight through the war's
flnt year,-
Canida's defence Halaon with the
United Statei meant to England a
guarantee of the utmost aid from
America's Indispensable arsenal. It
was realized the lease to the United
States ot naval bases in the Western
Hemisphere could never be possible
failing the century-old co-operation
between Canada and the Statei.
The steady flow of food supplies
from Canada and the promise of
increased war material gave confidence ln the months when United
States aid was not too certain.
In the riling tempo of the war
for' freedom, Canada kept itep with
Britain. Tbe trrival In Auguit of
the crack Second Dlviilon, giving
Britain the forcei for a Canadian
corps of two divisions tnd ancillary
forces under Lt.-Gen. A. G. L McNaughton, wai the final, unnecessary assurance that Canada ls as
determined aa tht truest Briton that
this war must be fought "on to the
end."
