0n the subject of the right names for wars, ncw apparently per Iiexirig Mr. elt. and his adv re, there may be recalled the claslcol case of an English mzzi- erch.

_ "Even at the present rate of shipbuilding in Canadian yards. the shortose of deck officers and marine engineers is looming up as s. serious handicap. It is n0 longer feasible to look to British asuroes for experienced seafaring men. The British mercantile marine Is Itseh operating under difficulties. casualties In the merchant service have been heavy. The navy has drown heavily on the engine-rooms of merchant ships Young men are being trained in Csnada but a marine engineer cannot be urcuuc- ed by a few months cf wet-shop training." — Ottawa Citizen

On the whole, at the risk of local disturbances amcng the loyal Victorians, I am incllred to say that the growth of nature In these parts (Ottawa) is s"perl'r to c-urs.

An U happy Contrast

(Exchange)

In Canada urn the U. S. there Is no shortage of food supply and the importance of proper nutrItIon Ls being impressed on the people. Britain also has enough food, even more attention Ia being given to nutrition and the children are well cared for with the result that the health of the people has actually Improved during the war.

Unfortunately, than! Is a dIf- ferent story across the Etngllsh (Xnuinel and In all the countries under Nazi sub ugatlon. Inade- quate food supp . because the Germans have stolen so much. has seriously affected the health of the people and left them more open to dIsease. The conclusive proof of this Ia to be seen I.n the vital statistics for I940, and the proof will be stronger stlIl when the figures for last. year and this year are known.

In France. the civilian death rate increased from 15.4 per thousand in 1939 to 18.3 per thousand In I940. The Infant mortality rate shot tip from 63 to 91 per thousand. The Belgian death rate rose from 13.8 to 16.4. There were definite though smaller Increases In Hol- land, Denmark and Norway.

The Germans could- not afford to allow the vital statistics fc.‘ Poland to be published. It would be too severe an Indictment of them for their Inhumtui treatment of the Poles. But It Is known that In the non-Jewish population of Warsaw, the death rate went. up from 11 to 14 per thousand. In the large Jewish population of the city, the death rate was actually 90 ner thousand.

What this all means Is that; Nazi Gcirnany, which started this war, is responsible for the loss of mll- lions of IIv-es of civilians-apart. from those killed In the fighting’ or n the slaughter of harmless people. The heavy loss of life represented bv those higher death rates was directly due‘ to Nazi action, whlch led to out-side fond supplies being cut off and to the people being robbed of much of the grain, cattle and other food supply which they had produced. Decides the deaths. there will be a great deal of sickness and misery clu" to the same cause.

This Is a part ct‘ the appalling Nazi record, and It Is one more reason why the United Nations will go through with their job of destroying the Nazi power.
