French Puzzled at Statement by Eisenhower LONDON, Aprll 8 (CP.) - Fight- Ing French quarteri apparently wert puzzled today by dispatches from Algiers quoting Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as expressing "lurpriie" over a French National Committee itatement that he had aaked Gen. Charles de Gaulle to postpone his visit to North Africa. Declaring that he saw no occaiion for Gen. Elsenhower's surprise, a Fighting French spokesman said the National Committee rtterely had Issued Its statement ln explanation of the Fighting. French leader's failure to depart as expected for conferences with Gen. Henri Giraud on the unification of French forces fighting the Axis. "De Gaulle had been expecting tn go since shortly after the first of the year," the ipokesman said, "and the reaion for the delay ln opening negotiations with Giraud otherwise could not be understood." Dispatches from Algiers said the comment Issued from Elsenhower's headquarters did not deny the Allied Commander-In-CJhief had asked De Gaulle not to make the trip, but declared cryptically that, since the Fighting French statement was Issued In London, Eisenhower "had no doubt that a full itatement of the circumstances" will be made there. Fighting French sources, however, said the National Committee did not plan a further itatement at the moment, adding that "the text of Elien- hower'i letter will not be made public because lt will add nothing to the caie."

I claim no more for them than that They will be followed up." Eden concluded wtth the itate ment that hit trip had been fun. damentally the molt worthwhile of hii career. "My doling Impression of Ami rlca," he taid, "wat one of I young and vigoroui people, wholeheirt- ed In tho itruggle ard determined to work together with the other United Nationi In war and In peace. "I have come back with, | tay frankly, a different view of the tentlmenti of tho United States toward both thli itruggle and the poit-war period. I believe the op portunltlet that are opened to ut, i groat though the difficultiei are, are wider In .cope than I thought pollble." Eden disclosea nothing of any military matters which may have been discused. While a "close dimilarity of outlook" waa found on the maintenance of future peace by the United Nations, the Foreign Secretary emphasized that the exchanges were "entirely exploratory," committing no one. Advocating that relations between the United States and Britain be "based on common interest in the maintenance of world peace" and not on sentiment, he stated that Un- American people recognized the need for "some authority to ensure by force" that the Axis powers keep the peace. In emphasizing that there should be a close coordination in the political sphere as in the military, the Foreign Secretary said that "if we have a close understanding at least ] we are better able to stand the strain and stresses that will inevitably arise as military campaigns progress." He took as an example the quei- tion of North Africa and said there no doubt had been so misunderstanding in Britain of the purpose of the U.S. administration in maintaining relations with Vichy. Then he said: "I can assure the House that they (the U.S. adminsitratibn) thought, and we agreed with them, that by maintaining relations with Vichy it wai posiible to keep open a useful window in Europe which must otherwise be !hut and I have no doubt that we were right and they were right. "It was only through maintenance of those relations that the American Government were able to place a considerable number of agents in North Africa who were quite valuable in opening the way for Allied oops." WASHINGTON, April 8 (API- Secretary of State Hull said today that the British Government's invitation to him to visit London wa*a much appreciated, but that he had not formulated any plans in this connection.

Rationing 'of food Is moit disagreeable and disconcerting to thl folk on thll continent. Fancy not being able ta go to I itore and order any quantity of wonderfully prepared food ,ln most convenient packages, delivered right to our doors, it remarkably law cost. Long before Hitler had even begun- to stir up trouble, thl' condition of affairi wu established and goods and services from the farmi and mlnu ud f isherlei and forests flowed to the ever-growing cltlei and little dribbles of goodi ind services returned to the primary producer!. Among the wild animals we see certain species that seem designed to be the natural prey of the stronger and fiercer varieties; auch are the humble rabbits, field mice and gophers who limply trust to their tremendous reproductive qualities to preserve them from annihilation. More especially lt has been the farmers on this continent who have been the rabbits of society. The great cities, with their, more or less, useful inhabitants have grown amazingly; they could always rely on a plentiful lupply ol poor, simple farmers to provide their .sustenance and keep vast numbers In luxury, Suddenly the firmer has found a mean! of escape. He could Join the armed forcei md very many did io. Of course you might be ihot dead or horribly mutilated, but for the preient, you hid freedom from debt ind worry, companionship, ohinge, fairly regular houri and good food, glory and excitement, also admiration, instead of humiliation and drudgery.

No wonder the young formwa quite, also the hired help. No wonder thit our nnirt city folk are feeling agrieved md our statesmen are feeling Mirly trontle, Imploring Uie farmers to return and even commanding them to do ao. The very idea of treating our farming population half decently and paying hayseeds at least IS well II financial Impostors and the sleek pervertert oi thl truth who frequent our oltlei aeemi to these eloquent gentlement utterly Impossible. ThU bring! Ul to thl coniideration of our 'Tour Freedomi" of which we probably shall agree that "Freedom from Want" is the most fundamental. Those who had thi good sense to listen ln to the Farm Forum program last Monday heard four leading authorities from Britain, the U.S.A. ind Canada discuss tht world food lituation, The present total population li enormous ind Increasing, the total of available arable soil tends to decrease as faulty methods of farming and cultivation and the destruction of forest areas allow vast area! to be swilled away. The problem la tremendous. It can be solved by thorough cooperation among all thl nitlonj ind within eioh nation. Old method! end mtny ot our old customs will have to go, so that humanity may work together ln harmony. This implies treating even the farmers properly—helping them to live and do thllr work—not living on them md meaking »wiy their produce by fair meani or foul, as In times past. Only when in return for the great streams of produce that flow to our cities from the firm! ind fiiherlei, mines and forests, equal streams of valuable goods and lervicei return to repay the primary producer!, you city folk may get plenty of butter, milk, vegetables, ito., ond whit ls far more Important eat theie good thingi with clear coniclences.

A clailified club for business and professional woman, chartered ieven years ago thii month, the Sorop- ■tlmist Club of NeUon loolw back over seven yeari of welfare work In this community. The first and outstanding projeot of the Club is the Chlldran'i Ward of the Kootenay Laki General Hoipltal. All furniture and equip, ment hai been provided by the Sor- optlmut Club at I cost ot MOO. With the advent of war Nelson Soroptlmliti worked with other Canidlin Soroptimists to purohasi an ambulance for use In Britain. Then IV wu thought that much could ba done for air raid victims by the Soroptimiit Liaison Officer In England if thll Club provided the means. Accordingly members gave a personal donation every month for wool and materlali that were made up Into small garments and sent overseas. Then parcels, together with sutni of money, haavi been gratefully acknowledged. Difficulties In mailing foroed discontinuance of parceli directly but membership donations amounting to $220, together with the proceedi from a soft drink sale and two art exhibits made thli a moit worthwhile effort. As a club as well ai Individually, Soroptlmliti have given generoui support to the Red Cross. Personal donatloni of the members amounting to (190 during the last 16 months have been used for the purchase of wool and yard goods that have bsen made up and donated to the local Rod Crou. A unit ot the Red Cron Blood Bank wu purchued by the Soroptimist Club of Nelson. For the past two Summon thi Club hu assisted in thl purchase of sugar for the Red Cron lim making project. The Aid to Russia fund wm pn- •TOUily lupported hy this Club. Magazines for the Hasher Houu it New Westminster and purchuoa af cigarettei (or a soldier overseu aa well hi a donation to the Women'i Auxiliary to the Armed Servicei of thli Diitrlct hive brought grateful thanki, Provision for imall Itemi that might otherwiie have been overlooked auch ai books, glasses, booti and olothlng for needy familiei; codliver oil for underprivileged ichool chlklren, equipment for i loci! .RP. Poit, donations to the Chrlit- iai Cheer Fund and help to older eoplc have all formed part of the jroptlmilt welfare projeoti. Remembering that "the gift wlth- ut the giver ls bare", Club mem- aors have delivered personilly or ent with a personal note many ot heir small donations. So seven yeari of ftoroptimiim In Nelson hava quickly passed hut not without leaving tangible evidence ol their progress on this oommunlty.

Ai wai the case In the three previoui gamei, the Red Wingi were so far tuperlor to the war-riddled Bruini that the action throughout wai decidely one-aided, despite the fact that the vlcton were out-shot by I 30-18 margin. BOTH SOLO GOALS Both of the Detroit icores, by Joe Carveth in the first period and Carl Liscombe early in the second session, were' unassisted affairs. Carveth beat Bill Cowley, Boston's nil- star centre and Hart Trophy winner, to a loose puck in the centre-zone and, with one Bruin back to challenge him, raced tn and zinged a 15-foot shot through Goalie Brimsek. Llscombe's solo effort, which gave him his 14th playoff point and enabled him to equal the record shared by Cowley and Don Grosso, his Detroit team-mate, had Ita start when the Wings broke up one of the few really effective five-man rushes the Bruins organized during the entire game. He broke out of a Detroit corner, sped down the left side boards and, after swinging around the defense, rifled a 12-foot angle shot into the opening Brimsek left In his net. Whtn they chalked up thit tally, the Red Wlngi concentrated on their defemei to enable Mowen to go through hit lecond white- waihlng Job In 24 houn. Eirly In the final period, the Wlngi hid two playen In the pemlty box it the iame time but the, Bruini, who were much too eiger to miki the kill, cheited themielvei with their ragged pliy.

His message followi: "I hope that you and all ranks serving under you will accept my personal congratulations and ttjose of the entire Allied headquarters on your recent successful operations which Joined up the victorious 8th Army with the British, American and French forces that have been carrying an for four months a magnificent fight ln central Tunisia under the most unfavorable condl tions. "While everyone of us fully appreciates that, great difficulties and bitter'fighting still lie ahead of you and that beyond thii campaign He still greater hardships and sacrl flees, itill you and your 8th Army group, thd Navy and the Air Force are now In a position to exact the full price from the enemy confronting us In'Africa.

Seven American fighters were lost but one pilot was rescued. The battle, one of the greateit ever fought In the air of that area, climaxed a two-day period of aerial activity during which American planet made ilx forays against enemy insinuations throughout the Solomoni Archipelago. Whether the Japanese, whoie force included 50 bombera and 48 Zeros, were successful ln reaching American ships at Guadalcanal was not reported. The destruction of the enemy planes during the actions on Wednesday raised to 943 the total num- ber of Jap aircraft reported In the United States Navy cbmmunlques as having been destroyed ln the Solomons to date. Those are actual combat lossei and do not include operational losses vestment of aircraft in the Solomons fighting much greater. Not for many weeks had the Japaneie struck at Guadalcanal or shipping in the vicinity 1 that Island with iuch force. The last fighting of any consequence had developed around Feb. 1 when the enemy was attempting to remove his officers from the force then being crushed by advancing American ground troopi of the Island. The force of planes which the Japanese mustered for the attack might have come from the Short land Island area, about 295 miles Northwest of Guadalcanal air field or from Munda, only'190 miles to the Northweit. It Kerned Unlikely, however, that the entire attack could have itarted from Munda ilnce Installation! at that field havt been repeatedly bombed so effectively that they probably could not support a full operation of this kind. There are, however, various subsidiary fields in both the Munda and Shortland area from which groups of the assaulting planes might have taken off. B.C.

MacArthur's moving statement on this first anniversary of Bataan is a reminder that there is a long and probably bloody trail back to be travelled belore that tragedy 1 savenged. But • brief stocktaking shows that already a good start has been made. At this point on the road back the latest dispatcher emphasize two aspects of the situation In the Pacific. First, the Japanese are determined to maintain the offensive and arc ready to spend men, planes end ships freely to that end. Second, the Ame- rlcan»have such a tremendous qualitative superiority in the air as to make any Japanese offensive adventures highly costly, perhaps so much so as to hasten the day of victory, Both in the South Pacific and in Burma the Japanese are increasing their forces and their pressure. The Navy's communique of yesferday recording another brilliant American air victory over Guadalcanal also Illustrates tbe aggressive temper of the enemy. This victory, coupled with similar heavy tolls taken by Allied airmen from large Japanese air armadas trying to raid American posts on New Guinea, aeeme to show— 1. The Japanese still are turning out more than tnough planes to replace losses; apparently there is nothing wrong quantitatively with their production. 2. Apparently they are not very good planes rr they are not flown by very good airmen. Evidence piles up to support Gen, Kenney's recent comment that Japan's "first-string team"—the few thousand highly trained pilots with which she entered the war— has been largely expended In the 18 months of the Pacific conflict. Ona now wonders how long the morale of the Japaneie Air Force can withstand the realization that any pilot who goei Into battle has about one chance In three or four of dying. On the Burma - India frontier again the Japanese are giving proof of their aggressive purpose. Reinforced by fresh divisions, they have compelled the British-Indian forces of Marshal Wavell to relinquish much of the territory gained ln th-3 four-month.-5-old minor offensive toward Akyab. The British communi- ques insist that the withdrawal abandoned only territory that could not have been held In any case through the Imminent Monsoon season but the fact remains that the Allies still have to make a convincing start toward their avowed objective of reconquering Burma and reopening the road to China. General Yahagl, the Army's mouthpiece In Tokyo, says the British retreat means that "the enemy's ambition of recapturing Burma has at last been crushed" and that this "has Increased the confidence of our forcei to advance into India " The threat to invade India can be discounted—but the developments in Burma at least have given Yahagl and his colleagues the flnt good material for boasting since tho tide turned In the Solomons and New Guinea half a year ago, IIIIIIIMII1IIUIIIIMIIHH11IIIIIIIIIIIIII1II' NEWS OF THE DAY iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii Summer cottage, Balfour, close to beach.
