The Army Manpool

Of men who enlisted. in the army for over-

loas service there arc approximately 140,000

ltill in Canada or in adjacent territories. 50,000 or more of this number “are or can be made available" as reinforcements for overseas serv- ice. Of the total above given, 8,500 are memb- ers of the Veterans (iuard; approximately 50,- 000 are of an age 0r military category such that they would not i10rmally' be sent overseas; 25,000, while not "definitely unsuitable for overseas service", are in age groups, medical categories or ranks such that only a limited lumber of them can I absorbed within estab- lishments of the 1Q qiterseas. Excluding the Veterans Guard and men in categories unsuit- able for overseas service,,tltere are approxim- ately 10,000 employed on the staffs of admin- istrative, training and servicing units in Can- ada. As many as possible of these are being withdrawn for tivcrseas service, but sortie will no doubt have to he retained permanently be- cause their duties require fit general service volunteers or because of special knowledge and experience which makes it difficult t0 0b- tain suitable replacements.

The above information, tabled in Parliament the other day in answer to questions by Mr. Diefenbaker, gives a good idea of the urgent need for a greater manpool for overseas re- inforcements. Canadian soldiers are fighting both in France and Italy. While casualties have been comparatively slight to date, there is no telling when a heavier toll may be exacted. In the fierce fighting which may be expected from now until the end of the war, it would he crim- inal folly not to provide for filling gaps in the lino.

According to the last issue of "Canada At War", official Government publication, the army overseas numbers about 245,000, lflcllld‘ lng more than 800 members of the C. W. A. C. It i; made up of one army headquarters, army troops, two oorps headquarters, corps Itropps, three infantry divisions, two armored divisions and two independent armoured brigades.

The German Mind

a

flie point of view of the citizen of a German- occupied country is .vividly presented by Finn Hammer, a Norwegian, in The Norseman. He explains that he lived for two years in Germany during the Nazi revolution; he was there as a student, spending also considerable time in the factories. He has since visited Germany twice -—-the last time, he adds, involuntarily, as a pris- oner of war. From these experiences, he is convinced that, if a "pet the good German" itt- tieude prevails in Great Britain and the United States when this conflict is over, "we shall have a new war in twenty to thirty years’ time." it is not the German political system which will be rooponalile, he asserts, but "the German mind." Not the Nazi leaders, but the German le are to blame for this weird mentality. e throws a. lurid light on what went on when the Germans were secretly arming for the pre- sent war. How they used to describe their bar- ncks as "hospitals," and how all Germans were delighted at the cunning and deception which were practised. He holds it to be vitally im- portant that people who have not seen the Ger- mans "at home" should understand their true character, as Continental Europe understands it. It is still more important that Allied statesmen in power "should draw the necessary conclus- ions." Germany has got to learn once for all that war does not pay, he says, "and a mili- hry defeat alone will not be sufficient. - - - A generation was required to knock out the Ger- man military machine; it will take st least a generation to knock out the German mind. And that job must not be left to the Germans alone, not even to the ‘good’ ones."

Feed Grain Situation

According to the Winnipeg correspondent of the Financial Post, there is now no longer much worry about the ability of oootorn Canada to obtain during the coming crop year supplies of feed grain from the West. The prospective eastern need has been lessened by the east's own good crop prospect; existence of sufficient sup- plies to satisfy that need seems to be assured by the satisfactory outlook for western crops. Accordingly, during the past week, theICan- sdian \Vhcat Board began to issue permits in quantity for export of western barley to the U. S. and there were abandoned the suggestions formerly heard that barley in store in terminal elevators, accumulated for the purpose of ex- porting it, vnight be impounded by the author- ities in order to he sent e851-

The fact is conveni- ently forgotten by most parties and people, sl- though they were reminded of it last week in Parliament by George Cruickshank, that at the outset of the war none of the major parties ‘had the courage to face the public and say that it would put conscription into force as Britain and the United States did.’ The fact is also somehow overlooked here that Canada's volun- teer foreign service Army, like the Air Force and the Navy, has a special and justified pride just because it is composed of volunteers."
