Timing The Blows In Libya

Tl! British offensive in Libya coincides with gt-irlenccs of iticitat-t-tl Nazi pressure on the “d”. uii\",ll.‘illilf in hrattce. lht- removal of General \\'t-_vga ‘l out coniniztittl of the French Afr-inn grime. rprctt-tl as meaning that

the Peta-in ntuviiig toward closer col- laboration litljlllllll)’. ;\t Washington especially this tlcvciopttitit; is being watched

very closely. .\n iufortttctl source is quoted as stating that sc\'t*i'.itice of diplomatic relations between the Ldlliml Sitiics and the Vichy Gov- ernment is “a p»<.i‘»" _ ' .-\s the supreme auth- orityl in Rluiwrrt-o, 4i rs and Tunisia, General “feygatitl uzis wilt‘ of the fcw \'ichy officials lo co-operate uxth the lfuitctl States in seeking to keep complete control of tltose colonies in French ltaiwk; Th» licrlllfllli may now seek to obtain the tist- of .\‘::‘ri:tii and Tunisian ports, as wcll as what is {tit of the \'ichy fleet, to get supplies to their [shunt forces. If this move was in contenipl. ‘on. it emphasizes the iinpor- tance of the llt‘\\' ..ri<h offctisive, and the fore- sight of those in Ciilllillilllll in timing it to meet this COllllil§CllC_\'.‘

The main Ollj<‘t‘li\‘9S of the drive are stated to be three in number: the creation of a diversion

of Axis strength from Russia; the elimination‘

of Axis troops front North Africa, and the. kncoking of Italy out of thc war. The achieve- ment of any one of thcsc objectives would ftilly justify a British offensive, and it is not in- conceivable that all thrcc will be realized, in addition to forc-tolliitq any the French North .\i'rirnn colonies. There is also the effect on ticutral Turkey which a thumping British success in Libya would have at this time. The tcttiptali/‘m to indulge in “wish- ful thinking" should of course be resisted: but it is thrilling to ft that we are on the attack- ing sirlc of the li-tztle in this area once again, this time with imint-astiralily better resources in manpower and cqtiipiticut. .

Increased Demand For Horses‘

\\'ith demand far outstripping the supply, prices for ltorsrs in Scotland have so advanced in the last two years that they are now higher than at any time since the last war. Due to the shortage of petrol. many business men have put their motor trucks zittrl vans into storage and re- lumcd the use of horses, writes G. B. john- son, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Glasgow, in a report to the Department of Trade and Commerce, on agricultural conditions in Scot- land. At the same time the vast expansion in acreage tinder cultivation has increased the de- mand for horses for farm work. With the growth in use of itiotor cars. however, horse breeding ltns dcirlinctl stczttlily and consistently, so that the stipplv is littiilPrl. Prices at horse sales, in consequence, have been stibstaniial increases ls compared with rcccnt years. The prices of Clydesdale gcltliugs, which in 1939 ran about $400, states Mr. ‘l'l\ilil50ll, are now often quoted in three figures. and the F250 horse of two vears ago is malt-lug Rgoo to $350 today. At the Perth sales early in September several Clydesdale geld- ing: of five to six years old sold from $405 to a top price of $605.

Mr. King Al The Bar

Prime Minister king's attitude on the question of compulsory service for overseas, provokes the following comment from the Sydney Post Rec- ord:

"By all the portents. Canada cannot afford an election referendum on this issue, at this time. The alei-nativc is for the present Government to make tip its tnind for total war, and that seems a very rcinotr- lttvsslllllll)’. To do that. partisan government, \\'lli<'ll the country now has, would havc m (li§<r)l\‘(' jtst-lf. Is there anything more remote than that? 'l'h<- Casgrairis of Quebec would have in rctirc.

WORDS OF CHALLENGE

A THOUGHT A DA! FOB A PEOPLE AT WAii

(Globe and Mail) Many Canadian people must have been astonished when the Prime Minister rose in the House of Com- "mons on a question of privilege to

explain the "small demonstration" , that occurred when he addressed the troogs in England weeks ago. The incl ent. probabl had been forgot.- ten by most of t em. and by show- ing he was still disturbed by it Mr. King only intensified its importance. Nor could Mr Jean Francois Poul- iot/s reference to it in a speech be considered a good excuse for placlngi n formal statement on Hansard, Mr. Jean Francois Pouliofs speeches being what. they are. 1t. was reported,

"We will have a terrible time winning this war. I do not think it. will be easy. I do not think it can be done merely from the air or from the bee. It will be l. long and bloody process. But I cannot conceive of It. u an Impossible task-if we start it at once."- l-Ierbert Agar, editor of the LOIIII-SVIIIG, 5y. Courier - Jour- iia,

Prime Minister was "booed." What if he was? Doesn't every one know this sort of thing goes with olitical life? A politician loo thin-sk nned to take criticism — even “boo1ng" — falls short of the breadth of spirit ex- pected in public men. Lord Halifax, British Antbassador to the United States. showed how to "take It" when he was a target for tomatoes‘ and eggs in Detroit and Cleveland and undoubtedly improved. hi; sta- ture with the mass of American
