Anglican Board 0f Management Annual Session

STE. ANNE DE BELLEVUE. Que, Sept. 1B —' lCP) — Mission- ary collections of the Church of. England in Canada reached the highest point in their history last year, Missionary Secretary Canon L. A. Dixon of Toronto reported tonight in his annual report to the Board of Management of the Church.

Reading his report to the exc- cutive councii, meeting here in connection with the sesssions of the General Council and commit- teer. of the church, Canon Dixon said missionary givlngs had in- creased 65 per cent in the last l0

ears.

y The financial report of treasurer

W. Allin of Toronto showed receipts of $301,709 as against $292,204 for 1942. Disbursements increased to $965M from $291571 the year before.

A report of the advisory edi- torial committee on the Canadian Churchman, submitted to the meetings said that "we feel the paper would profit by a more def- inite editorial direction - it is too largely a new Journal with no very definite editorial plan or policy.’

Another section of the re rt said: "Some members feel t at. while the news is better presented. that the variety of type and the use of large and unrelated cuts on cover and within do not add to the readability but tend to give thi-

fcrmat the appearance of trade journal rather than a church paper. Other members of

the committee quite disagree with this view and like the present

set-up.“

The committee said also that it was "stiil vague and uncertain re- gnrding the ownership of the pa- per. the names the directors. the methods of appointments of staff." It suggested clarity on these paints particularly in view of the fact that the paper claims to be the National Church of England weekly and we are the representatives of the whole church."

at) last vestigc of Japanese sec power

Naval men, while believing that the war of attrition waged against the enemy's power at sea and in the air has dissipated Japan's chance of victory in any major naval clash, assert, however, that the enemy

fleet remains an

unknown but dangerous factor.

Destruction of hundreds of thousands of tons of siliPPm-i needed to fuel and supply the striking force of the Japanese fleet presumably has pinned the fleet to operations not far from the home bases.

Japan's fleet is thought to include at least 13 battleships, with as many as five of them 40,000-ton vessels mounting eight or nine 10-inch

QUHS.

In addition to the capital ships, it is suspected Japan has been

experimenting with extremely heavy cruisers, of virtually battleship

proportion. of which have been sunk. At least gone down.

Curiously enough, in all

Japan started the Pacific war with 10 battleships, four

seven of her aircraft carriers have

of the American navy and air contacts with

elements of the enemy fleet, there have been no reports of the sighting of any of the new construction. The latest engagement was the carrier- borne plane attack on Japanese ships and aircraft near the northern

tip of the Philippines in June—and ing ships in that enemy force.

dispatches mentioned no new fight-

The assumption, therefore. is that the enemy may be husband- ing truly powerful battleships, cruisers and aircraft carriers to make a

last stand near home.

In such an engagement. the enemy would be

opposing a naval force certainly numerically superior. Moreover, since the start of the war, the United States has added to its fleet both 35.-

000 and 45,000-ton battleships of the most modern design and of great

fire power.

That this American fleet may have the support of powerful units‘

of Britain's navy is indicated in the recent Quebec statement of Prime

Minister Churchill that Britain expects to be in on‘ the kill in the,

Pacific.
