‘The Soviet Menace

There ix no llL‘t‘ti to tlisgitise the serious aspect

of the \\':ir news over the week-end. Russia's iti- \'(l-lull of l'«il.lll<l, it niay be said, was anticipat- ed. The llliililll/Iilltill of tlte Red :\rtnies 011 the \\'t’~ll'l'll l\'ll\~liIIl ll‘IIllllL‘l', arid the Rttssian-_lap:1- iivse nun :i_;_;i't-ssiiiii agree-nient, tvere ominous

sign-, puiiitiiig to preparedness on the part of the S--iiet liII\‘\'l’Illll(‘llt for participation in the tit-riii;iii~l'«ili~li struggle. The blow has fallen more quickly than was expected, but this fact may be due to the stubborn resistance which lhililllil l:.i.~ put up against superior Nazi forces: l\‘u-~:;t wants I0 niake sure of her “pound of flc~..." Last week the diplotttatic ctirrespondciit of the lnilltlttll I\'t-ws t'hi-otticle said that “for- lt‘ll'tll‘t‘ of tiic iiidt-pe1i<lL‘i1ce of tlte Baltic states was Illt‘ pizce tit-rniatiy paid for the pact with the Siirit-ts, in Zltl<llll()ll to granting Polish ter- ritory to the country which for years has con- tleiitfiul :._\'t‘<\‘l«i[1 more loudly tliait any other in l“.iiim1-i." The News Chronicle added:

"It lx ltl‘llL‘\'C(l that part of atiy such Russian plan \\'H'1llll he to occupy higa and annex I;s— thonia aiil l.fll\'l.'l to the Soviet Union.

Coinciilcntiilly the diplomatic correspondent of the .\laiiclicster Guardian said that the stid— deii “iiitercst" of .\losc0\v in the Polish sitttation "cait mean only one thing—namely a plan, if not a positive intention, to seize those eastern reg- ioits of Poland that are inhabited by \\'hite Rus- sians and Ukraiiiiztns, minorities which are akin to the Russians in “race", but have no wish to come under Russian domination. The partition of Ptilziiid between Germany and Russia has certainly been considered in Moscow and in Berlin.

pay and field allowance of every rank in the army, together with separation allowances- A private soldier in the present war will get $1.30 per day attd separation allowance of $35 Pet‘ tnonth, compared with $1.10 per day and $20 per month in 1914. The separationallowancc was increased to $30 in 1918. The military pav and field allowance of a lieutenant-colonel is $10 per day now, compared with $6.25 in 1914, but the separation allowance for a lieutenant—colonel is $60, as before. A lieutetiant’s pay has been raised from $2.60 in 1914 to $5 per day now; at captain’s from $3.75 to $6.50; a major’s from $5 to $7.75. In each offict-r's case, however, the increase in separation allowance has been relatively less than for the men in the ranks.

There is wisdom in the suggestion that the Gnvcrntticitt avoid sending men with large fam- ilies into danger zones. Iloii. Dr. Manion, who served in the Great \\'ar and has brought tip a splendid fa11iil_v, is cotivinccd that this should be done. not only for the sake of the families, btit also for the S2ll\'t“ of the country because of the high alloivzttices that would have to be paid. More- over, if a iti:in with several children becomes :1 casiialt_v. there is It heavy pension bill to be met by the ctitiiitry for a tertii of years-

Thc same idea was expressed by Major—Gcn- eral Gricsbach, who represents Edmonton in the Senate and has served on various pensions com- mittecs. Ilis siatcnicnt that there is no justifica- tion for enlisting a man with a wife and six chil- dren at a cost to the rouiitry of $127 a month when five single men can be obtained for the same aiiioiint surely is warrzintetl.

Perhaps it is just as well that Russia has shown her hand early in the struggle, so that there will remain no question, among Christian nations, as to the nature of the mo- mentous issues involved.

Tlie Submarine Cleanup

Following the policy it observed in the Great ‘Var the llritish Admiralty has refrained from making any announcements of the destruction of German submarines, and is resting content to al- low results to speak for themselves. It is point-

ed out that the official listing of the names of.

destroyed German submarines, accompanied with mention of the regions in which they had been operating, would only serve to furnish the Nazi Government with vitally itnportant information as to the points at which it would be necessary to replace destroyed U—hoats, in order to carry on effectively their underwater campaign against British shipping. As late as 1917 in the Great War British merchant ships were being tor- pedned by German submarines at the rate of ap- proximately 400 a month. So far since the out- break of the present conflict such casualties have aggregated between 25 and 30. The great dis- proportion between the number of British, :19 compared with German, merchant ships that have been stitik by submarines is easily llIl,tl(‘l'SfO(l(l The seven seas are navigated every day by fleets of British mercliantmcn, whereas the whole Ger- man merchant marine, or at least that part of it which has not been destroyed, has already taken to cover in (it-rman or neutral ports and is as uselcssv for the carrying trade as if every Nazi carrier had been torpr-doed and sent to the bottom.

The llritish Adniir:tlty's campaign against Ger- man U-boat maraurlers involves the two pro- cesses of hunting them down, on the nne hand, and providing safe convoys for the British carry- ing trade. The effcctivciiess of this plan of pro- cedure was amplv demonstrated during the Great \Vn.r. (‘omparatively early in 1918 the sub- marine menace had been eliminated by the des- truction of virtually every German U-boat op- erating in any part of the world. Only a strag- gling few succectled in getting back to their bases before the Armistice.

Another kind of flying fish, however, may become more familiar to us before many months have passed. An en- -huslastic Nova Scottan, who has been considering the possibilities of aerial trartsportatlon, sees the time in the near future when Nova Scotia. fish will fly daily from this province to dining rooms In Mont- real and other Central Canadian cities. The Nova. Scotla fish, of course, will really be flown rather than fly of their own accord. The enthusiast points out that extens- ion of Trans-Canada Airways service to this province will put: Montreal and Toronto markets within a few hours of Nova Scotia. This development, he maintains, offers an opportunity to our fresh fish dealers which they should not overlook. Fresh-crtught Atlantic fish is a rare dellcaev to Central Canadian palates. Visitors from Ontario and Quebec grow lyrical over seafood when they visit this province. Many of them eat It two and three times a day, anxious to have their fill before returning home.

Arms have been grounded in Spain, and it is far front our wish to stir up any dormant. rancors In this country, but we have been re- minded again of the controvcr-y which raged briefly in 1937 over the fair coverage of the war by American newspapers. Charges were leveled both by Communist; and Catholic spokesmen and news- papers were wilfully prlnzing prop- aganda and concealing the truth from their readers. Absurd as these charges were, they received some credence In quarters wlilch should have know better.

ORDINARY FOODS FURNISH THE COMPLETE DIET

You may think that food ex- perts and health writers talk too

much about vitamins and minerals and that rnanufacturers of special foods likewise over-advertise the dangers of lack of vitamins and minerals In the average diet.

As a matter of fact too much cannot. be said about the need of vitamins and minetmls In our daily diet. but this does not mean that specially manufactured food p:o- ducts are an absolute necessity In the diet of the average healthy In- dividual. All we need to remember ls the advice of America's out.- standlng diet expert, Dr. E. V Mccollum. Johns Hopkins Unl- verslty. who tells us that all we need Is the ordinary "every day" diet. in which "every" day there should be some raw fruit or vege- lab‘es.

It might be well therefore to see what, “ord.Inar_v" foods contain these vitamins and minerals, be- cause a lack of the necessary food- stuffs endangers your health. In speaking to the Canadian Life Insurance Offlcers Association, Dr. Ftedericlt F‘. 'I‘ls<l.all, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, said:

“If any one of the necessary food elements is missing from your diet, It will result In a gradual or, In some cases, a rapid lowering of your level of health. Your vigor will be Impaired. Through proper nutrition we can secure increased liezilth and happinesn, in-eater vigor, better resistance to disease, and longer life."

After outlining the various food- stuffs-—protelns (meat, eggs, fish. crirealsi. fats (butter, cream, fat meat. oils). starches (sugar, bead. potatoes), and the foods mntafnlng the various vitamins and miner- als, Dr. Tlsdall makes It very easy to remember 3 daily diet that gives us etierythlniz needed to attain ard retain vigrorous health. A! can be seen. these are all 3. part of the “ordlnary" diet. of most of

us.

“Everyday of your life, except during Illness. aim to have -a pint of milk (which Includes that used In cooking), some meat, an egg, two cooked vegetables besides po- tatnes and some raw fruit. or vege-

tables."

In addition, during the cold weather, take a t/easpoonful of cod liver oil daily or some other sou-‘ce of vitamin D. as provided in tablets or carpsules.
