Aimi of the League have been approved by the Department of National De­ fence, Ottawa, and full support has been given by provincial premiers across Canada. Over 5,000 boys 15 to 18 years of age are already enrolled and more than 14,000 will be added as soon as applica­ tions now being dealt with are accepted. The Air Cadet League of Canada hopes to create a body of trained and disciplined young men cap­ able of being of service to their country should they subsequently wish to enter the Royal Canadian Air Force/. At the same time these young men will be fitting themselves for what will be one of the world’s greatest industries in the coming years—that of civil aviation. No cadet will be drafted into the Royal Canadian Air. Force except by his own desire. To­ day Britain has over 200,000 Air Cadets, New Zea­ land and Australia have had Air Cadet Corps formed since last summer. —/ The two hundred and sixteen hour course, which carries the boy through fifteen subjects including drill instruction, physical training, Aero-engines, first aid, Aircraft recognition, map reading, mathe­ matics, signals and theory of flight, takes about two years to complete. A copy of "Rules and Regulations'* describing the complete organization of the Air Cadets of Can­ ada may be secured by writing the Honorary Secre­ tary, the Air Cadet League of Canada, 122 Welling­ ton Street, Ottawa or the- Provincial Committee Headquarters at Room 314, Bloor Building, 57 Bloor Street West, Toronto. Prohibit Slaughter Lightweight Hogg An announcement of the Bacon Board made on December 8, stated that on and after December 15, exporting packers will not be permitted to slaughter hogs producing carcasses weighing less than 130 pounds. The number of hogs outside export weights, as previously pointed out, are substantially in excesa 6f the need for domestic consumption. The majority of hogs unsuitable for export are lightweight hogs, and packers recently increased the discount on B2 Grade carcasses weighing from 125 to 135 pounds to $4.50 and $2 per hog. * ' With the coming into effect on December 15 of the “board’s order governing the slaughter of light­ weight hogs the discount on the B2 grade carcasses returned 4o it* former level. The purpose, of the latest requirement, the Board stated, is to reduce the number of lightweight hogs and make more re­ quired weights available to fill the British contract for 600,000,000.'lb. by October, 1942. It should re­ sult in lightweight hogs being kept back for further feeding, and when marketed at heavier weight* sub­ stantially increase the total quantity- available forexport. The minimum weight of 130 pounds, warm dressed carcass weight, is equivalent to a live hog weight of approximately 175 pounds. The Board urges produ­ cers to get their hogs, up to a minimum of 180 pounds alive, so m to insure carcases of a minimum of 130 pound*. Truckers, shippers, drovers, cap give the Board valuable co-operation in the direction re­ quired, by advising farther* concerning the weight of their hogs and, in so far aa possible to have light hogs placed for further feeding rather than forward them to packing plant? or stockyard*. It should be' made clear that while this order prohibits the slaugh­ ter of hogs weighing 130 pounds dressed weight by exporting'packers, it does not interfere with the con-. signment of light hogs to stockyards or eYsewherv for slaughter by domestic packers or for sale a* feeder*. Recognizing that it waa the terrific mechanization prowess of the Germans that carried them forward •so irrefutably in Europe the agricultural interest* of Ontario on the advice of the Minister of Agriculture naye,. decided to take, a leaf out of the Nasi book and mechanise farming in this*province.'In this all .opt war kgfinst'the* forces ff barbarism food will play a* very .important pert, Although labour short­ age has been a hampering factor it ir recognised that there mu’t not be any let-down m production in Ontario ,To meet the-emergency the organisation' of agriculture! war committee* in the fifty-three counties and districts in the province- ha* been de­ cided upon. Agricultural representative* who best know their own local conditions are to be charged with thi responsibility of seie^^g the committee*. It 1* suggested that a survey e^Npld be made of maehipery and mechanisation so that a* full u*e a* possible might be made W R. Reek, Deputy Mini­ ster of Agriculture and chairman of th* recently formed inter departmental c-ommmion, point* out ■ that mechanised equipment is available in every mk- Oon but in much greater number* in rom* counties than in other* due to the nature of the crop* pro­ duced Near farm machinery will not be so readily available in 1942 nor will repair* be *e easily pro- cera.i. Proper < i^.nirattan at the labour upon the •arms and max imam wre of the equipment available would appear to be rasrntoal. The mohilliatHin of May labour vriudb may be available and not now the farms will not be overlooked.

How will the Canadian farmer be | of poultry and egg* needs some affected by the new price ceiling! bolstering - and- these product* arclaw?— . - We went to Ottawa for one thing to find the answer to this question. We found that the Wartime Price* and Trade Board had the farmer’s position fully in mind. Dean A. M. Shaw, Director ol Marketing Services for the Domin­ ion Department of Agriculture, who represents the agricultural view­ point on the Wartime Prices and Trade Board and who has had a lang experience with Canadian farm problems declared that the issue as regards farm products had so many ramifications that it would require considerable time to cover the field. Meanwhile, the farmer had no cause for alarm, Dean Shaw assured us: "He can be sure that this Board is aware of his prob­ lems and is seized of the importance of maintaining adequate supplies of food in wartime. We realize his dif­ ficulty in securing farm labour <lu6 to war conditions. “Nevertheless it is true that food­ stuffs enter into the cost of living in an important way and therefore runaway prices must be halted. Ac­ tually the price control is an indir­ ect one so far as the farmer is con­ cerned. Some farm products have already been exempted from the price ceiling so far as sales from producer to processor are concerned. The ceiling on retail price* of food­ stuffs must be maintained and the farmer will be governed by it in direct sales to consumers. "The farmer may be assured that there will be no attempt to destroy his bargaining power on products which he sells to a retailer or to an intermediary' for processing. The re­ tailer or processor, of course, will be governed in what he pays by hi* own price ceiling. We believe, that it will be possible to price control plan on foodstuffs with fairnesp and justice to all." We went, too, to see J. Gordon Taggart, newly-appointed Food Ad­ ministrator, who is faced with one of the biggest tasks assigned by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Provincial Minister .of Agriculture for Saskatchewan, at the age of 49 years, he is recognized a* one of Canada’s best-informed authorities on farm problems. Born on a farm in Nova Scotia, he is a graduate of agricultural college* in the Mari­ times and Ontario. He taught agri­ culture in Alberta and headed an experimental station in Saskatche­ wan. He came to Ottawa as chair­ man of the Bacon Board, but when thw price control emergency arose a few weeks' ago, he was drafted as the logical man to head up the Food Administration. Tall, clean-cut, with a brisk, alert bearing that inspires confidence in hi* asaociates, this upstanding young Westerner give* the impression that he will *bear • away red tape and get direct action in solving .the intricate problems facing him. Actually J. G. Taggart i« a Co­ ordinator, as he Will supervise the work of more than one dozen Ad­ ministrator* appointed to control prices of animal product*, dairying, fisheries, poultry and eggs and otfier tranche* of agriculture. We asked him about the farmer's position gen­ erally under the new legislation which became effective December Irt. "We will maintain a price ceil­ ing on foodstuff* consistent with securing'adequate supplies of food,” he replied. We realise that if the supply were seriously impaired, the price ceiling could not be main­ tained. Bootlegging and black mar­ ket* would develop for people must Dividends unclaimed. likewise exempt so far a* the farm­ er's jirice to packers and processors is concerned We have ample sup­ plies of wheat, with a surplus of 500 million bushels, although in these uncertain day*, the future even for wheat cannot be foretold. The main point i* that fanners will have to divert their energies to more profitable channel*. In this way they will not only improve their own position,' but will maintain the supply of Essential foodstuffs. We relize that the farm labour situa­ tion is critical but we hope to see that situation corrected in part at least by next spring.’’ Mr. Taggart appreciates the diffi­ culty of the problem confronting his branch, but he is facing it con­ fidently and unflinchingly. The wide variety fo channel* through which food product* move from producer to consumer complicate the picture. “Roughly speaking,” he contin­ ued, “we can accept two major clas­ sifications. First, articles requiring processing. We have the Deputy Food Administrator, who is in touch with the wholesale and retail trade and whose duty is to act as arbiter in 'these cases. He must see that any necessary price "squeeze” is fairly spread over all parties con­ cerned. Secondly, foodstuff* passing directly from producer to consumer with little or or no processing. Ad­ mittedly it is not. always easy to draw this distinction." Mr. Taggart as Co-ordinator, will have from twelve to fifteen Adminis­ trators co-operating with him. Each will have one particular line to care for, such as flour, feed, fruits, can­ ned. goods, fish, tea, coffee, and .“pices, dairy products, bakery pro- duett, cereal foods, meat, etc, Nat­ urally time is required to swing into action a machine of the magni­ tude required for an industry like food, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. One of the first de­ cisions was to exempt seasonal price fluctuations for fresh fruits and vegetables • from the price ceiling, temporarily at least. Mr. Taggart explained this action by citing a case. "If a price ceiling were imposed on potatoes, nobody would store them. < Potatoes would be dumped and the price would collapse. Spec­ ulative buying would be needed to provide supply~for> the future., It.might or might nbf-t^ke p ^e, Mr. Takgart explained how cer­ tain product* were at lea«t partially removed from the price ceiling, such a* livestock, milk, poultry, honey, maple syrup and egg*, “In the case of live animal* and milk, the ex­ emption waa only on the sale from producer to processor. It is not off in the ease of processed product* from these vommoditie*. The ceiling was lifted from live cattle going from farmer to packer, but not from resultant meat reducts. It was ‘lifted from milk going from farmer to distributor, but not from milk from distributor to consumer. Again, while there is no ceiling price on cream sold to the creamery, there-u « ceiling on butter sold by 'the creamery.” Such ar* a few of the important distinetiun* and difference* drawn in the case of numerous primary “products. The Board does not wish to impede the flow of these product* through their natural channel* nor to deprive the farmer of a fair price. In the^ciew of Mr. Taggart/ it i* vital that food supply be mumtained, otherwise the ceiling would be punctured, because people must and will eat. Finally he empha- here, pie***?" i "You fellers can’t get through here “Ain’t got none," replied the cop. I any too fart for ua." Ingersoll was * busy place jm Monday..

THE MIXING BOWL • y ANNt ALLAN Hydro Hew* fconomlM Candy Candy is inexpensive and easy to make, and lately there has been a great demand for the use of crisp, cracking cereals as the bulky part in a lot of the new candies. Corn­ flakes, shreds of whole wheat, puf­ fed wheat and rice—and crisped rice-ail add honest-to-goodness food value and they’re easy to use. Com­ bined with other 'simple ingredient* —these tasty cereals replace cost­ lier nutmeats—and are they good! It‘* great fun to make candy— But to moke good candy—fudge that is creAmily luscious and melts in your mouth—brittle candy—that is crackly and crunchy—there are certain rule* that must be followed: 1. Use a standard recipe and • then measure the ingredients ac­ curately. 2. Use the constant even heat of the electric element turned ’Tow”. Stir until sugar is dissolved. 3. The side of the saucepan should be free of sugar and crystals. 4. Test the candy carefully. The candy thermometer gives the most accurate record of cooking. 5. Where candy is cooled before beating, cool until you can touch the top of the candy with your finger. 6. Use adequate equipment— a large, straight-sided saucepan, a wooden spoon, a shallow square or rectangular pan for “poured” candy. Cold Water Test Very soft stage—Syrup can be formed into a ball under water but cannot be lifted up. Soft ball stage—Syrup can be rolled into a ball, removed from the water and hold shape when laid in the palm of the hand for about Viminute. Firm ball stage—Syrup holds shape well as it goes into water and does not come to top. Hard ball stage—Syrup holds shape well, yet is .plastic. Light crack stage—Syrup separ­ ates into threads thaj are hard, not brittle in water. Hard crack stage-— Syrup drops in threads in air, dropped from spoon at heighth of 6-12 inches Threads should not bend. Caramel stage—Syrup discolour* from white to cream in water.

When the con­versation was ended Zaagi turnedwith simulated despair. “They asktribute for passing through theirlands,” he said. "It is the customof the country, they say,”A man in a red pelisse whoseemed to be the leader of thegroup now raised a hand command-ing attention. He was taller thanthe others, wore a small brownbeard and. judged by the standardsof his people, was handsome of faceand well formed in figure. ”He says."

And why doyou take me Instead of the others?”The sheik moved one shoulderand a hand as a gesture of incom­prehension. There seemed no hopefor her, less hope even than forthe other survivors of the.disaster.It was toward the middle of the■afternoon that Camilla’s captor roseIn hia .stirrups'and poirited to a hillthat rose ' above - the surroundingplain. As they drew near she sawat its. base the black goalskin tent*of a Bedouin encampment. Horses,camels and dromedaries were teth­ered to ropes pegged along theground. "We shall rest there," thesheik said politely.She made no comment and rodeforward, trying to find new couragefor the new adventure, whatever itwas. Palm trees grew near thehill and extended out into the des-ert beyond. At the flap of the larg­ est tent she was invited to dismount,but to ber chagrin she had to belifted to the ground.Then with the assistance of *girl who had now appeared she sankupon a divan in the tent and, with'difficulty, relaxed ber aching limbs.The girl brought water to drink anda bow) to bathe the dust from herface, then stood by as impassiveas ths riders wty> bad brought herhere.Apparently CarnUl* was to betreated with politeness, for after *while the Bedouin girl brought adish of lentil soup, a red pottageof the sams recipe, probably, forwhich Esau sold his birthright Thisdid much to restore her mind sod In the morning the Bedouin girl,whose name Camilla never learned,came into the tent with Camilla’*dressing case, a larger basin ofwater, towels and soap, and placedthem on a table.

Hassan more ominous than ’(ho else but Hassan would haveselected her from among her com­panions and brought her ben intothis far-off plage? She rememberedwith clearer comprehension th*slow smile of her captor when th*name of Hassan Isar had been men­tioned.

Large steamers and motorships of ,10,000 tons are now being complet­ ed, from the laying of the keel to the final coat of paint, in just under six months. Indeed, by making parts of the hull and so on in distant workshops inland and assembling them at the shipyard, the six months have been reduced to five and ahalf.Never before has Great Britainturned out ships at such a speed;and it is speed that decided the peace-time controversy ab out whether the hulls of big merchant ships should be rivetted or welded. Welding is not only quicker but it saves steel, so welding has won. More steel is being saved by the use of concrete for small craft. Hundi>eds of ferro-concrete barges tlhve been built, releasing hundreds of skilled shipbuilders from the 'barge building yards to work on ocean-going tonnage. There they are concentrating up­ on the well-tried .“tandard "ecoifi omy” types of vessels which manyfamous British shipbuilders had al­ready evolved.The shipyards were preparedwhen war came for an expanding production. The Admiralty passed the word to them for so many tank­ ers, refrigerated cargo liners, coast­ ers ,deep-sea tramps; and standard­ isation has triumphed. FOR LIBYA—AND VICTORY Vivid pictures of the new military and air forces used in the drive across <■ Libya wil soon be shown here in two »hort films made by Pathe and British Movietone News.

Among the artillery wea­ pons shown are the latest ‘‘ack-ack’’ guns, with A.T.S. women manning the indicators. The other film, “R.AJP.—Action!’’ traces the development of Britain’s air arm since the last war. To see the flimsy Sowith Camels of the early days of air fights is to marvel at the spirit of the pilots of these “old buses.” Later sequences show the evolution of fast planes, such as those which won the Schneider trophy permanently for Britain, leading up to thrilling pictures of actual battles, taken in the air with a miniature film camera, and for the' “Home Front”- thereare air-raid shelters, first-aid pokts,rest centre.’, emergency housing andfeeding centres. Even temporaryshops are put in "blitzed" towns to carry on without interruption the distribution of food and other essen­ tials. In, Coventry whole rows of these shops were run up for the bombed-out traders. Practically . all this war-time building is under the direction of Government departments, working through the Ministry of Works and Public Buildings set up about a year ago, under the direction of Ix>rd Reith.

Or, if you preferto make snapshot exposures, you can use high speed film with a couple of amateur photo lamps tor your light source. Materials for table-top photogra­ phy can be picked up around anyhome. At the start, it may be a good idea to peek into the nurseryand select a few toys such as a teddy bear, dolls, lead soldiers, and the like. Try to pick out toys whichcan be adjusted to different posi­ tions, that Is, those which havemovable arms and legs—so you can create all sorts of picture situations. The technique for table-tops isquite simple. Just arrange your lights exactly as you would for anyother indoor picture. Wheneven pos­ sible, use a small lens opening, foryou'll get sharper pictures. For most topictures of this type the camera should be fairly close to the subject,and if yours doesn’t focus for “close-ups,” you will need a portraitattachment to slip on the lens. Thia inexpensive gadget enables you to place the camera within three andone-half feet of the table-top scene.

As a result of the latest develop- . ments in the w*r, there is wide­ spread talk on Parliament Hill about the extent of the complete co-oper­ ation between Canada and the Uni­ ted States not only of the armed forces of the two countries but of the economic resources. Indeed, it is expected that the Joint Defence Plan, under the agreement of August, 1940, will bring into full operation the Navy, Army, and Air forces of the two neighbours in mu­ tual defence of each other’s terri­ tories and coasts with the prepara­ tions 'said to be complete in every detail to meet any situation wnich which might deve’ep. OTTAWA REPRESENTED AT CONFERENCE OF AMERICAS The Pan-American Union is hold­ ing an. important conference»of the American Republics in order to at­ tempt the adoption of a uniform policy in regard to the war since some have declared that they will remain neutral and others have taken a warlike attitude against the Axis Power*. This meeting will be held in Rio de Janeiro and the Canadian Government will be represented at this gathering. WARTIME ORGANIZATION IS EXPANDING It is apparent that the Wartime Prices and Trade Board intends to expand its operations greatly since this body has rented an entire floor of the largest store in the capital, the fifth floor of the A. J. Freiman Limited Store, and the headquartersstaff will move into the new quar­ ters in January. Moreover, some departments of this Board will—re­ main in the Birks Building. This indicates clearly to what degree the functions of wartime restrictive Jodies* are increasing. ST. LAWRENCE PROJECT IS NOT SUSPENDED Although the United States is now engaged actively and officially in the war, yet there is basis for the stories that this implies that the' St. .Lawrente Power and Seaway Project has been definitely suspen-. ded for the duration of the conflict, in fact, with the United States en­ tering upon its greatest production schedule in history, the need for power hai} been enormously in­ creased and there is nothing along iParliament Hill to suggest the in- j definite postponement of this pro-; ject that requires as its next move j an approval by the United State* ' Congress. CABINET CHANGES AND THEIR INTERPRETATION In face of the changes which have already been made or which seem Lkely to be made in the near future in the Federal Cabinet in Ottawa, yet there is much speculation on this point along Parliament Hill, thoughr it must be reported by an impartial observer that in the capital there is no reason to substantiate or to sup-' port some of the interpretations being given for these moves, with the remark that, if such tactics were abandoned during, wartime, much present nourishment for dis­ unity in Canada would disappear. Of course candor is desirable on the part of s an Administration when some interpretations of news tend to mystify, antagonize, or alarm the man-m-the-street throughout the country or when it in no secret that the policies of the Administration have not a one hundred per cent support and approbation from the rank and file of the population, but whatever clamor and confusion may .exist amongst millions of Canadians on some activities or decisions in Ottawa, there is no doubt that the Administration itself is not to be blamed for this reaction in this wartime period, especially when it is bom in mind that candor on soihe moves in the capital may reveal, directly or indirectly, essential diplo­ matic or military secrets. The citizenry must recognize that no Administration in wartime can have one hundred per cent support and approbation. It is simply im­ possible in a country of Canada's size, wealth, and composition. His­ tory has shown that an effective national leadership in this country can' only hope for the support of a majority of the people. In other words, no advocate of extreme view* or policies can hope for full support and approbation, with every inter­ pretation of the changes made or to be made in the Federal Cabinet which offer such hints being nothing more or less than attempts that will turn out to be snares and delusions. There is no doubt about it. The Government has made cer­ tain changes in the Federal Cabinet in order to strengthen it. It is -well- known along Parliament Hill that other changes will be made, though it may be difficult for the man-in- the street to understand why such changes, if they are necessary, have not been BjaiitTwithout delay. This delay is the cause for widespread speculation an interpretation of the moves. The question is asked in respon­ sible political quarters if these moves are not efforts by the King Government to satisfy the continu­ ous demands of critics for the crea­ tion of a "national government’’ to wage this war, particularly since two of the most important portfolios in the Cabinet have already been filled not from the rank and file of the Liberal Party bub by so-called "outsiders’’ who are. unquestionably leaders in their own spheres. No responsible and impartial observer along Parliament Hill can state that the new Minister of Justice, Hon. Louis St. Laurent, who is acknow­ ledged by all non-political Observers as one of the best legal minds in the nation and who is recognized irfs one of the greatest jurisconsults of our time, is a political appointee, nor can .anyone, claim that the new Min­ ister Of Labour, Hon? Humphrey ^litchell who is a recognized auth­ ority on labor matters and whose ap­ pointment is popular- with all polit­ ical parties in the land because he is a courageous, brilliant, and unus­ ually well-informed leader, is a pol­ itical choice. So far there is no foundation to the story, that the King Govern­ ment intends to create a "national government" in face of the recent additions or replacements in the Federal Cabinet.- Well-informed quarters along Parliament Hill state that there is only one point about which there is no longer any doubt. The Prime Minister is anxious tostrengthen tie Government by add­ ing the beet brains available in the land to the public service. Under the present conditions, it is urgent that every leader in all spheres should serve his country regardless of personal sacrifice or peril. Just as the rank and file of the popula­ tion must be drafted for selective *i>i*viec, likewise the same method must be employed in every other direction.

The Annual Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account of the Royal Bank of Canada for the year ending November 29, 1941, was issued to . the shareholders and shows substantial gains under prac­ tically all important headings. Assets increased almost $120,- 000,000 and have reached the re­ cord total of $1,075,000,000. As usual, the liquid position is strong, with quickly realizable assets to­ talling $681,918,309. This repre­ sents 69.56% of the bank’s liabil­ ities to the public. Included in this total of Liquid Assets are notes of and deposits with the Bank of Can­ ada of $86,542,227, Cash and Bank Balances of $101,285,122 and Dom­ inion and Provincial Securities val­ ued at $371,231,959. Total public deposits likewise reached a ntjw high figure of $902,- 000,000, an increase during the year of $97,546,128. In spite of a large volume of withdrawals for the pur&asc of Victory Bonds last summer, public savings in Canada, features entirely unlike those of all previous wars in history and which is something that is still not appre­ ciated, nor understood by the man- in-the-strect in Canada and in other, nations of this Western Hemis­ phere who have been lulled into a dangerous sense of false security. Indeed, the clamor and confusion of millions of people in this coun­ try can be traced to this delusion or lack of comprehension of the needs of the war. This is the true explanation for the changes or replacements in the Federal Cabinet and most of the stories or reports about other mo­ tives are nothing short of mere speculation^ or hypothetical reason­ ing. There aro many grounds for this report, but in the interests of brevity, candor, and objectivity, it is sufficient to relate the «tory be­ hind the story of one of the Cabinet changes whose importance ranks foremost at the present tins-;, invol­ ving the m'st mon entoui. issue. That is the appointmen of Ifon. Humphrey MiUhell as Minister of Labour. Unlike all previous wars, of ourhistory, labour is playing the decid­ ing role in this world- drama, though this may not be readily appreciated by the man-in-the-street in Canada. Since modem warfare will always depend upon production of modem means of fighting, including, ships, submarines, airoplanes, tanks, and so forth, it infers that the man in overalls is just as important as the man in uniform. This cannot he questioned, nor doubted at this time. Moreover, unlike all previous wan in our hietocy, labour's rights and privileges, whjch required p many years to Acquire and.many lives to be sacrificed, is now challenged ser­ iously by jhe foes of the democra- cies. There is no place for, leader­ leadership in the totalitarian' set-up. In other words, labour interests have a great stake in the .outcome of .this war. They know it,* In the last World War, British Labour did not act unanimously and it was not represented in the War Government a» it is to-day. In fact, while to-day the Churchill GovemmenLxia. strong­ ly representative erf -the Labour YOU ALWAYS GET J.T. NANCEIIVELL • IU41 S«roe« • 147 it is understood, have since not only regained their previous high point, but actually show an increase over the figure of a year ago. Commercial loans in Canada dur­ ing the period under review totalled $241,782,846 as compared with $229,451,217 shown in the previous year. Call loans are up $6,187,000. Foreign loans and loans to cities, towns and municipalities show slight contraction. Profits w.ere well-maintained not­ withstanding increased operating costs due to larger staff, increased taxes, cost of living bonuses and and other factors. After providing for taxes, and appropriations for bad and doubt­ ful debts profits totalled $3,535,000. Out of this amount the usual divi­ dends totalling $2,800,000 were paid, $325,000 was set aside for the Pension Fund Society and $400,000 for depreciation of Bank Premises. The balance of Profit and Loss car­ ried forward amounted to $3,209,- 074 an increase of $10,928. Party, includng Bovin, Greenwood, Attlee, Morrisson, and others, yet in World War of 1914-1918 the political section of the British Lab­ our Party, objected to entering the War Cabinet, insisting that it would bring no moral, political, or prac­ tical benefits for the workers of the land. Indeed, it resulted in a tragic conflict between labour leaders, such as MacDonald, Snowden, Hen­ derson, and others. To-day the whole situation of Labour Movement is changed because Labour is at war directly against the enemies of their progress, of their rights, and of their existence as organizations. On the international scene, Labour is at war as a class. In every na­ tion, Labour is at war against dicta­ torial powers, no less in Canada than elsewhere, though here it is not more than a temporary condition and not without consent of the wor­ kers in many cases, if not all. Just as Ernest Bevin has issued the call to arms of British Labour in order to destroy their greatest enemies, totalitarian! or dictatorship, or as William Green and John L. Lewis have summoned American Labour to the fight, likewise Canada’s Hum­ phrey Mitchell has been assigned this all-important task of sounding the clarion call to Labour in this Country, with non-politkal circles in Ottawa absolutely certain such courageous and common sense lead­ ership will produce startling results. -r-(Reproduction Prohibited.)
