"W59"- WNEJ‘: 1”“ While Army Pleads For Men

_Here is how Saint john Telegraph-journal views the present situation:

Canada is scraping the bottom of the man- power barrel. Here, in a nutshell, is the pie- lure:

l. Industry needs mediately. .

2. From one end of the country to the other farmers are handicapped by lack of labor, al- though increased farm production was never so necessary.

3. \Vith the invasion of Europe under way, our active army is pleading in tones of urgency for 48,000 volunteers to reinforce the troops Iho are fighting towards Berlin.

That is the jiicttire. Ili spite of it, Ottawa has taken no step to put to worthwhile use the men called up under the National Resources Mobilization Act. There are 50.000 to 75.000 of them. (Estimates vary, hut at December 3f last 50,000 was officially given as the approxim- ate figure). They were taken off farms, out of factories, out of offices and stores. Pre- sumably they did something useful in their civilian jobs. They are doing nothing useful now, although they are being paid, fed, clothed and sheltered to the tune of some $150,000,000 0f the taxpayers‘ iiioney annually.

Under present orders-in-conncil they can't be sent outside North America. There is no fight- ing in North America. The argument that they are required for home defence duty is silly. Our homes are being defended on the other side of the ocean. \\'c zir.‘ told by high staff officers of our army that the divisions which are defending us mtist have replacement—48.00o replacements. Then we are told by the federal government's publicity agency, \\'artime Information Board, that: .

' NabtionalResonrces Mobilization Act men are trained and fit for reinforcement pur- poses and can be sent to fight outside Can- ada if the necessary action be taken to send them.

That statement appeared in the April issue of the official booklet, Canada at \Var, and was repeated in the May issue. The phrase “neces- sary action” means an amendment to an order- in-council-dti other words, the scratch of a pen. The administration has shown no inclination to make this pen-scratch. It has shown no inclina- tion evcn though the overwhelming majority of Canadians gave it a clear mandate as long ago as April 27, i942 (in the manpower plebiscite) to draft men for service anywhere. Disregarding the majorirv. the Dominion Cabinet has bow- ed to the will of one province, Quebec, which set up an isolationist howl against conscription. The result is farcical.

While Canada scrapes the manpower barrel, while farming and industry stiffer, while the active army begs for reinforcement, from 50,000 to 75,000 draftees—“trained and fit for reinforce- ment purposes"———are permitted to cool their heels on this side of the Atlantic, living off the public platter and making no contribution whatever to victory. From those who allow this travesty to continue the shout of “total war"

a ring of hollow mockery.

The C?" To Nurses

196,000 workers — im-

The shortage of trained nurses in Canada is becoming extremely serious. The president of the Canadian Nurses‘ Association, Miss Marion Lindeburg, has appealed to all persons who have nursing diplomas to put forth every effort to return to the profession on either full-time or part-time basis in order that hospitals may con- tinue to serve those who need hospitalization.

Miss Lindeburgh points otit that some hos- pitals have been oblige they could not obtain

occupied. The help which has been given by enlarged student nursing classes and by vohtn- try nursing ziirls, has greatly helped to relieve the pressure, but as Miss Lindeburgh says, there is a point beyond which dilution of hos- pital staffs with relatively inexperienced people becomes impossible.

The appeal is mainly directed to women who hve been fully trained as nurses and who have gone into other occupations or have left the profession. liven if these people can give only part time service, their help will be greatly ap- preciated in hospitals struggling to keep tip with the present (lflllélllfl for hospital treatment. This is a highrly important field of service and there is the greatest urgency in filling this serious shortage.

Fighting Just 5.3.7. .

As already indicated, until Cherbourg is in the possession of Allied armies, men and sup- plies must pass the hard ivay-—through the surf. where landing barges are hung up on sand bars or are blasted out of the water by enemy shells and men are drowned under the weight of their heavy equipment. The harbor, battered though it may be from long hammering by Allied air- men, will provide a. safe haven and make poss- ible an uninterrupted flow of reinforcements and supplies from England. Not until it is fully gained will it be possible to develop the strength necessary to meet successfully the im- pact of Rommcl's attack when full Nazi power is finally thrown in the path of the invasion. As yet there is nothing tn justify the hope of Nazi collapse. Surely, there are no signs of t in the desperate fighting around Cacn. the hinge of the line in the east and the centering

where our boys have won undying fame, or on the Carentan Peninsula. Germans are yielding ground, it is true, but no signs of demoraliu- tion are apparent. General Eisenhower has said that the invasion is just beginning and that great battles loom, “only the first hurdle has been taken” and that the hard days ahead should not be made worse through a cheerful distor- tion of the facts as they stand. The truth is we have only begun to fight. The victory that many seem to believe is just over the horizon in reality lies in the distant future, hence the claimant need for reinforcements.

In addition to the hospitals already mention- ed as contemplating adding to their accommoda- tion, there is the City Hospital, which has been overcrowded for some years. The Board of Man- agement are studying plans and preparing for a fifty bed addition, as well as a much needed nurses’ home.

Ten-year military occupation of Germany was advocated by Mr. Emil Ludwig, German biographer, as the only means of re-cducating German youth into non-militaristic thought in an address at Newark, NJ. The adult Ger- man of today is "loo per cent Nazi", he said. “We are not fighting Nazis, but an overivhelni- ing majority of tlLe German people," he stated.

Mr. Howe, challenged with the suggestion that his new air plan would make him a dictator, blandly replied by asking who else should be the dictator. After all, there is this to be said for Mr. Howe that he never conceals his ani- bitioti. This is probably the first time in history, says The Letter-Review, that anyone has told the Canadian House of Commons that he jirc- poses to be a dictator.

The British dress trade hopes that Princess Elizabeth will make the court a rallying point of postwar fashion and stimulate London to become a style centre. Now that the Princess is making public appearances, the trade hopes she will replace the Duchess of Kent as style leader. Queen Elizabeth, despite Norman Hart- nell creations, is not regarded by the trade as a style-setter. However, they point out, the Bri- tish people do not particularly want their queens to have "snap."

"lnterprovincial Visits." Such is the "name of a society which specializes in the exchange of students between the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, in order that the residents of each pro- vince may become better acquainted with the language and way of living of the other. Stu- dents are placed with private families, in order to make their visit as pleasant as possible, and also to enable them to pursue their studies amid congenial surroundings. These exchanges are organized by Mr. G. H. Biggur, of Upper Can- ada College, and by Rev. Arthur Blahetix, of Laval University. '

Different aspects of establishing a four-year High School course to replace the three-year one now in effect at the Saint john Vocational School were under consideration at the last meeting of the Vocational Committee. In the discussion of the matter it was noted that Nova Scotia has had a four-year cotirse for 50 years

and in Ontario not only 12th but 13th school

the longer course. l French Canadians have some difficulty in understanding why the American Government refuses to negociate an agreement with the

French Provisional Government, says P.I.B. A n

view which gathers strength each day —— "and its echoes are to be found in the French lan- guage newspapers of Qllebec-—imputes to the United States the dread above everything else of too close an alliance between Republican France and Soviet Russia. Some days ago, the Vancouver Sun wrote that 50 per cent of French- men believed in the necessity of an alliance with the great western democracies with the other half, however, preferring a strict collaboration with the USSR. With this article getting a cer- tain publicity in Quebec, many are wondering if Washington is not taking precisely the best method of precipitating a definitive agreement between the Gaulli ‘s and the Soviets. “With-
