c.____________ Warning Voices

rrorn ewe authoritative sources in the Dona- ini mi Government came warning this week a: flirt the easy optimism of assuming that the \\.il' lizis been practically won. Far from that being the case, Prime Minister Mackenzie King declared that this year would be the most seri- ous for the Canadian forces of any since the war commenced. .\'o greater mistake, he said, could be iiiarle that to underestimate the task she-ad. Recs-m Allied successes had shown merely that the Allied and Axis powers‘ “were more evenly matched than before.’

A similar warning was sounded by Hon. C. D. llmvc, flliiiislcr of Rliiiiilions ziiid Supply, in addressing the Massachusetts Institute 0f Technology st Boston on Monday. The spirit of optimism abroad, looking to an early end of the war, he said, is quite unfounded. The gloat need. at the moment. he added, ie for ships and more sliip<_ both naval and mcrcliant,—and for planes anrl more planes, both fighting and transport.

The lY-hmr menace remains the Allies‘ biggest prohlcm, lt miist he dealt with before any large- gci-ilc irivii-iv-n of Europe can be contemplated.

I Not Working Well

Huremicracv is not working well at Ottawa, or cvru m Washington for that matter. Take the fo-nl situation as the best current example.

" First, Foods Administrator G. Tsggart as- sured the public there woul be no butter ra- tioning. Three weeks later Donald Cmrdori, price control cuir, announced butter rationing but said iJicre was m» shortage of butler, just

Canadian merchants have lost the right to make sale of butter conditional on tlic sale of other groceries. Prices Board officials said this practice was not frowned upon at the time since “shopping around" usually was a practice of the boarder. "Now that butter is rationed, how- ever, it is not permissible to make a sale of but- ter conditional upon the customer's buying other merchandise."

Five cems an hour is not sn‘ excessive rate of pay for agricultural labour, even for a boy. Ar- riinqemerits are being made to use 100,000 stu- tlciits from Ontario schools on farms from April i5 to October i5, Mr_ A. M. McLaren, direc- tor of the Ontario Farm Service Board, told the Ontario Vegetable Growers Association. A fliite rate of 5 cents an hour will be paid, he “said, but where the help is worth more farmer- Employers may pay s bonus at the end of the season. Where farmers in certain arses require 5o or more students, esmps will be organized probably at Hamilton, London, Windsor and Ottawa. ‘

Geor e Crabbe, English poet, died this date, i832; d early struggle for recognition and was befriended by Burke, Fox and others; took I-loly Orders, and received the patronage of the Duke of Rutlaiid and Lord Tburlow, devoted his leisure- to the production of poetry, his pub- lished works including “The Parish Register", “The Borough", “The Village", "The Library", all of which are marked by homely realism and shrewd analysis of which he was a master:

Her seared truths, but often fears her

Lord Bennett, like Mr. Giuriiill, still swears by the glory and tradition of the greet bensfie- ent British Empire. He told the Canadian Legion in London the other day that “there is nothing finer in the" records of mankind” than the British Empire. Speaking at the Empire Service he eaid: "Don't apologise for our colonial history or our administration than which there is ‘nothing finer in the records of mankind. Don't apologize for India. There we have given millions of people centuries of peace in placeof chaos and bloodletting. Don't be ashamed to have it said you are an im- perialist. An imperialist is s man who bears proudly the responsibilities of his race and breed.” v

‘Writes s reader: I notice in The Spectator ui appreciation of a statement made by a Mem- ber of Parliament quoting a prophecy, on the future of British aviation, made by Thomas Gray 205 years ago} I think the following Epitaph, found on a tombstone in Churchesi-ilesi,

seer, dated r440, more then 500 years ago, may interest you:

"lNlien pictures look alive with movement

free,

When ships like fishes swim beneath n12 sca,

When men outstripping birds shall seen the sky

Then half the world deep drenched ln blood

shall lie."

This foretclls not only the future of avia- tion, but also of the movie and the submarine. This appeared in the Birmingham Weekly Post some few monthasgo.

Mr. M_ Clement, dean of agriculture at the University of British Columbia, states post- war Canada should have a completely recon- structed plan which would place the farm people on In equal basis with other well organized economic groups. Addressing the seventh an- nual convention of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture at Calgary, Dean Clement said such basic changes should be brought about by demo- cratic means. "Democrscyf he said, ‘implies the encouragement of the education of the in-
