In addition, a special brigade of Hitler's black-shirted Elite Guards, flown to the front from Cracow, Poland, had been routed, a special communique said. The Nazi invaders are fleeing Westward under heavy blows of the pursuing Russians, abandoning military equipment and even their wounded' - as they seek to hasten their escape. Some of the fighting was stubborn, especially the German defence on the line of the Rivers Nara, Protva and Oka where the Nans were routed.

In occupying Kaluga the Russians als"*- took the big railway Junction nf Novy Kirjhi (presumably just West nf Kaluga on the Moscow- Bryansk and Tula-Vyasma Rail- ways). The victorious Oka River push, overrunning positions which the Nazis had attempted te consolidate for the Winter, was timed to t>,g Sevastopol base and in a better coincide with the Red Army offensive in the Crimea where Russian troopi are driving to relieve the beiieged naval base of Sevastopol.

He declined to expreu an opinion on the desirability of conscription In Canada, said he expected Singapore and the Philippines to hold out, described the defence of Hong Kong as worthwhile and only pos. sible because of the presence of Canadian troops there and laid the Free French seizure of St. Pierre Miquelon was a minor matter. Immediately after the conference he went to Uplands Air Field to inspect No. 2 Service Flying Train- ing School of the Royal Canadian Air Force. An official In advance advised reporters that Mr. Churchill's words were not to be quoted directly but when correspondents, taken with some of his phraiei, asked if they could be used he told them to quote anything they wished. One iuch remark was his answer to the question as to whether he expected I'.aly to drop out of the war. "I think the organ grinder hai 1 very firm hold on the monkey'i collar." he said. Someone asked if Germany had made any recent peace-feelers and the answer was: "I think they must be pressed for certain materials and they wouldn't waste the paper and Ink."

I ust Strengthen Pacific Forces to Regain Control LONDON, Dec 31 CP.-Allied itrategy calls for defence ot Singapore "with all means at our disposal" in order that it may become the base for the offensive to be launched in the Pacific area, a British authority 3aid today. Japanese are in full control of tho Western Pacific area, he said, and British forcei will depend on the United States navy "until our naval forces are built up to regain control." A serious threat t Singapore may develop if the Japanese establish itrong air forces on the Japanese- occupied island of Penang, off the Malayan West coast, this source declared, and such a force would be able to "exercise a certain amount of control over traffic in the Strait of Malacca source commented that "despite heavy fighting and some losses, our naval position, except in the Far East, is much better than might be expected." He said control of the Atlantic had been established so that operations could be carried out "in the face of attacks by the enemy." In the Mediterranean, he iald, there have been limitations "but nevertheless we have been able to carry out operations essential to success" in the war effort. "In the Far East," he added, "we see what apparently unopposed sea power can do." He said that the task before the Allies was "to destroy or neutralize Japanese sea power" in the combat area as a prelude lo launching Reviewing the naval year, this offensive operations.

Sir Edward went on: "It is a greater threat than we ever before have faced, and ltt dis- s;pation will call for work and sacrifice on a scale such as hitherto would have seemed fantastic. "That, in as few words as possible, ieems to me to present the dark side of the picture as it now stands I doubt if in all Canada there ll l .ane man or woman who doei not feel al heart that we are going tn win this war. 'The question in all mindi is, how long and how difficult is the roid to victory? As we enter the year 1942 the difficultiei present themselves on every hand and their formidable nature is rendered the more terrifying by their apparent nearness "lt mB.v even be lhat the shadows ihey throw across our path blind our eyei to the brighter side of the picture 1 believe that there Is one. snd that the opening of b New Year probably is a good time to glance at It" Sir Edward then reviewed the cern" nttion's "lncreaied power" to meet the dinger and laid that "if the danger which facet Canada today it greater than that presented a quarter of a century ago, the country u better equipped to cope with it in the matter of resources, in national wealth and in the number of workers in all ranks and stations of life, ready snd able to direct thoie thingi toward the nitiontl war efort."

While prodigioui reiulti hive been achieved in marshalling India'! industrial capacity and her vast resources of manpower, it wai realized thete efforti would fall ahort of the requirement! of total war ai long ae the native politician! preach- ed non cooperation and civil disobedience.

Gandhi had refuted to impend hii civil disobedience movement or otherwiie comply with the wishes of the majority of the Party's Executive Committee. It appean that the Party itill will teek to bargain for more conceuioni from the Britiah Government in return for iti fhll cooperation, but whatever'the outcome It il apparent a major hurdle hu been cleared by the Party and that a moratorium on political bickering ii in prospect for the war't duration. The Party'i action came on the same day that the Japanese threatened to bomb Calcutta, India'i largest city, which liei iome 700 milei West of the air bases Japan hu seized in Thailand. The Japanese army already is on the frontier of Burma, until recently a province ol British India but now a teparte political en tity, and Japaneie naval superiority in the Western Pacilic opens up the possibility ot seaborne blowi at India'i East cout. A glance at the map ihowi how much India owei for her lecurity to the tenacioui itand of the Russian armies Had theie lorcee crumbled before Germany'i armored might, ai many predicted, the German army now might well be menacing India from the Weat, with Japanese threatening from the East.

H, D. Dawson, General Chairman, stressed Wednesday that the Committee was driving toward an organization which would be able to swing into action with only a few minute's notice, and urged that anyone desiring to assist should contact the sub-committee with which he or she wished to work. He also emphasized . that the organization was being planned so that there would be no overlapping with local A.R.P., but so that it would tie in with it in the event of an emergency. Mayor N. C. Stibbs and Acting Mayor T. H. Waters have offered the immediate and complete cooperation of City services wherever they may be needed. SMALL EXECUTIVE To facilitate speedy action a small executive consisMrfg of Mr. Dawson as General Chairman, Lt.-Col. George A. Hoover as Vlce-Chalr- man, Mayor Stibbs and Inspector John Macdonald of the Provincial Police has been formed. Chairmen of the eight Sub-Committees planning the organization are: Volunteer service—W. R. Grubbe. Information and registration- Floyd L. Irwin. Finance—S. A. Maddocks. Temporary Refugee Shelter—IL W. Robertson. iDstrict Food Canteens — H. M. Whlmster. District Clothing Department—A B. Gilker. Ambulance and Morge — E. W. Somers. Transportation—B. A. PMblM. Mr. Dawson explained that each chairmen wai arranging hli own sub-committee personnel, baled upon the existing personnel ot the previously organized sub-committees. Each ll responsible for the arrangements within hii own committee field. When they have completed thii work they will report to the general chairman. Already substantial progress hai been made, and all reports are to be assembled loon. From time to time, he added, publicity will be given to each phase ot the work. Those wishing to help will be directed to the persons they wish to contact. CONFU8ION MAY OBSTRUCT "It ls vitally important," he iald, "that we should plan so as to avoid confusion .for confusion might well become a disastroui obstruction ln an emergency." Capt. G. R. Batei, who hai been appointed by the Red Crou and the Provincial A.H.P. as coordinating officer between these bodies, ll touring the Province and will speak in Nelson shortly. In the event of Nelson being attacked, Mr. Dawion explained, the A. R. P. and the Disaster Relief Committee would work together. "The A. R. P. li organized within the City and ita work will be carried on to well established limits- dealing with fires, emergency engineering services, first aid and so on, up to the -delivery of casualties to warden's posts. From that point on the Disaster Relief Committee takes over. But the A.R.P. does not operate outside the City, that field being in the hands of the Provincial Police, local A.R.P. bodies where they have been organized such as along the West Arm, and the Disaster Relief Committee."

JAN. 1, 1942- Kootenay Is Contributing to Victory Kootenay-Boundary District looks back on 1941 with the sense of having contrib,uted in no small degree to Canada's war effort, and it looks forward to 1942 with the expectation that it ' will be able to play a still larger part in the struggle for victory. Kootenay's base metal production through Trail Smelter is one of the ■powerful factors that Canada is throwing into the struggle against Hitlerism. Trail's production of war chemicals is another great factor in war 'munitions. It produces sulphur, is increasing its production of tin, every ounce of which has become precious as a result of Japanese invasion of Malaya and threat to the Dutch East Indies. During 1942 Kootenay hopes to see the base metal resources of the Kaslo- Slocan and other districts thrown into the war scale, as a result of the efforts which are now being made to bring about the suspension of the United States tariff on lead and zinc ores and concentrates. Still the foundation of economic strength, Kootenay's gold has been steadily flowing from several mines to the Dominion Treasury. Lumber production has been enormously increased. It has housed millions of bushels of the Prairie wheat which is being stored as a Joseph's hoard for the future. It has built many an air training camp, gone into many a new munitions factory. Kootenay's plywood has brought in foreign exchange which has strengthened the country's economic condition. Its match plank has produced by the billions one of life's essentials. Koptenay apples have helped to meet Great Britain's need for fresh and vitamin-loaded fruit. And its young men and women, and many of more mature age, have responded gallantly to the call for the Army, the Air Force and the Navy, the nursing services and the munitions factories. Kootenay-Boundary's purchases of war securities, its donations to patriotic funds, ita work upon Red Cross and similar supplies have exceeded its quotas. Greater calls are to be expected during 1942. Kootenay-Boundary can be depended upon to respond to them. Loss of Philippines Looms Philippines defence is at a crisis. The Japanese will conquer the islands if they keep on landing troops and maintain their ocean supply lines. They have local superiority in numbers where they have landed, and overwhelmingly superiority in reserves. The Philippine defenders cannot retreat, as the Chinese did, and build i new armies in the hinterland. At this moment the Japanese com- ' mand the seas around Luzon and the air in the vicinity of their landings. * This is evident from the fact that tho American Far Eastern fleet does not '* attack the invaders. The Japanese transports are evidently convoyed by battleships and airplane carriers in such numliers that the lighter Amcri- , can fleet cannot risk a battle. If the Japanese land forces can be held back, it will be possible for American submarines and bombing planes Li ,>ick off Japanese transports, supply ships and warships, one at a time. But f the. invaders, already superior in r i "hers, receive steady reinforce- i.i'iiU, the Philippines will fall unless new air and naval strength arrives soon from America. But air power can't act without bases. With Wake and Guam lost, the United States needs a bomber route via Dutch Harbor in Unalaska, Kamchatka and Vladivostok to Manila. That calls for an agreement with Russia Still irreater need is for heavy American warships and airplane carriers in the Philippines. Their arrival could turn the Japanese invasion into a disaster for the invaders. British ? ? Questions ? ? ANSWERS Open te any reader. Nimei el perioni taking queitloni will net be publlihed. C.

M C, Rossland—What ii the full name of the India government man who went on a hunger strike in England. His last name la Gandhi. Mohandai Karamchand Gandhi for more than 35 years wai the driving force of Indla'i million! in the struggle for freedom from British domination and leader ln the fight to abolish the caste system. He was born October 2, 1869 and educated in India and London; was called to the bar in 1889. Gandhi attended the second round table conference on India'l status held in London in 1931. As leader of the India National Congress Party he was granted the title of Mahatma. The chief difficulty ln the way ot India self government is the underlying bitter feeling between the various religious sects, notably the Hindus and Mohammedans. Those who have sympathies with Gandhi in principle have approved the British policy of steady development of self government rather* than radical changes which students of India fear would result in chaos and civil war. Interested, Trail-Where should I write for an application form to Join the Naval Auxiliary Service? Write Department of War Services, Ottawa. Press Comment LEWI8 "TAKES A WALK" Refusal of John L. Lewis and his colleagues in the Congress of Industrial Organli- atlons to accept an unfavorable decision by the National Defense Mediation Board caits a dark shadow over the future of industrial peace. It had been hoped by the optimists that mediation by a board representing with equal weights the employers, employees, and the public, would be accepted and that decisions by such a board would be morally binding on all concerned. Legal force behind the decisions has not been a part of the picture to date, but in view of the CIO attitude, it may be necessary to constitute a board which will have the full power of the government behind its determinations. There is no health in an industrial situation which allows disputes to get to the breaking point, then follow! them through a long deadlock, and ends them by putting the Army or Navy in charge. Both of the armed services have duties which call for undivided attention, duties for which their officers are much better fitted than for the operation of Industry. It is also probable that union leadership which defies an impartial board constituted by President will soon challenge the dictum that a strike can't be called in a plant or mine operated for the government under military direction. * The economic strain to which this entire country will soon be subjected calls for plenty of sacrifice, an dthat sacrifice will most certainly be rendered by the millions called to armed service, by many more millions who are not organized either as employers or as em- playes. Taxation is likely to cut deeply Into corporate profits; more deeply, we suspect. Into the profits of firms which have no extra revenues from defense contracts than of their more fortunate fellows. The membership of labor unions will pay their share of taxes, too, both to government and lo their organizations. It Is not at all fitting that the heads of the latter shall be the only gainers from he war emergency, as they will be If they succeed In makings union card the prinme essential to employment. And while Editor tc Publisher has often applauded the laws which prevent an employer from forbidding hi! employees to Join a union, we do not have anything like the same enthusiasm for a reading of the law which declares that a man must Join a union to enjoy his right to work tor a living. The one ls as much an abuse as the other. Ne rehtibe much an abuse as the other. Neither belongs In an America embattled for freedom.—Editor and Publisher. New York.

Etiquette Hints Two young people who travel to ichool or work on the same bus or train may walk to and from the vehicle and their homes together. Tlie girl should pay her own fare, however. Sne should have it ready and pay it Inconspicuously herself. sea and air reinforcements at Singapore might have the same effect, making it impossible for the Japs to maintain their supply lines at both Malaya and the Philippines. Courage is no substitute for numbers of men and weight of equipment. On Ihe basis of present strength, the American outlook in the Philippines is dark, for, while no one can question the final outcome, the first stage turns on the factor of time.

R.C*A*F *Civilu Observers Do a ValwaKleWork HALIFAX—A deadly mine which pouibly drifted acrois the Atlantic from tbe coait ot warring Europe noied Into an isolated Newfoundland cot* not ao long ago. An official observer of the Royal Canadian Aircraft Detection Corrpa promptly notified hia reporting centre of the lethal visitor, iald he had moored It down safely and aaked for instructions. He was told that a naval unit would proceed to the apot and dispose ot tye mine. A ihort time elapsed and another menage came ln from the iiolatad obierver: "Never mind naval unit. Have disposed ot mine myself." Fit. Lt. I. B. Goodspeed, air detection officer ot the R.CA.F., told the itory al an example of the enthusiasm displayed and Varied tasks performed by the 2000 civilian! operating without renumeratlon ai official obierv- ers for the A.D.C. in Eaatrn Canada and New- foundland. The mine Incident la but one of many bright spots In Fit. Lt. Goodipeed'i two yeara of lervice organizing and directing the A.D.C. He flgurei the observer wai consumed with curioilty about the mine and, rather than wait for the navy to arrive, aet about to find out what made the thing work. Probably he removed a couple of harmlesi knobi, lifted a lection out of the ihip-wrecker and made it ', harmless by removing its batteriei. (In Ottawa recently, the navy warned civilians agalnat tampering with minei or other objects which might drift aihore. Per- ions sighting such an object, lt advised, should report it to authoritiei and "until the arrival of lomeone qualified to deal with the object, the public ihould be kept as far away from it aa posiible.") Another observer waa right on th* apot when an RCAF. bomber mad* a forced landing ln St. Margaret'i Bay, iome 33 mllei South of Halifax. Noticing theh plane circling about, apparently in difficultiei, he got in touch with hii A.D.C. reporting centre by telephone and wai able to give a detailed account of the plane'i landing. Hanging up the receiver, he rushed to hit rowboat and-rowed out to the plane to assist the four airmen ashore. The men were luf- ferlng from ihock and ilight injuries, io he arranged for a taxi to take them to hospital In Halifax. With the plane linking rapidly, he rowed out to the aircraft once again, taking aeveral empty drurru with him. He attached theae to the plane'i body to prevent It from icraping the bottom, an action which considerably helped the R.C.AJ. In salvaging the craft. According to Fit. Lt. Goodspeed, who Is a native of Fredericton and worked in the ehgineering department of the BeU Telephone Company at Montreal before the war, the A.D.C. observeri icattered throughout the country are only too glad to do Jobi iuch as those—if they get the chance. Any complaint! he hai received to date from the volunteer ipotten have been to the effect that there il not enough work for them to do. Although the observers all have regular work to perform every day, none have complained their A.D.C. duties were too much of a burden for them.—Windsor Star. ___ Looking Backward 10 YEARS AGO (rom Dilly Newi Jan. 1, 1932) Mrs Charlei Norrli, Fairview, md diughter Doretta are in Fernie for a week vlilting Mr!.

The other South, when the diamond 2 waa led by West to the third trick, reckoned clearly. If East had the Q left, he would not have led the suit, but would have waited for a possible Dneaie. Hence South called the J from dummy. When East ruffed thla, the K was still high. East returned the heart 10, the sole loi- ing diamond being put on the heart A.
