(Weekly Review of National Affairs) By M. McDOUGALL
Ottawa, March 6th— There has been lively and, on occasions, bitter debate in the house of commons dur- ing the past week. The subjects dis cussed have been wide in scope, some of them striking at the root of the most urgent problems of this critical hour. The question of creating a na- tional government in Canada has for the time being at least been definite- ly shevied. The minister of justice, Ernest Lapointe, as spokesman fo: the government, was firmly opposed to the idea. The present administra- tion, he declared, had been’ chosen by the peoples as the government they wanted during the war. This is not a pre-war parliament, he said. Its pol- icies have been squarely submitted to the people during the war. and these policies have been’ endorsed. The people of Canada had shown ai the polls that they did not want a national government. “My Province” he said “is unanimously opposed to that proposal. The mere mention of it arouses such memories that it is real- ly a crime to mention the word”.
Howe Answers Critics
There were sharp exchanges across the floor of the house when the min- ister of munitions and supply, C. D. Howe answered criticisms that have been directed against his department in parliament and in sections of the press. Referring to one press _state- ment that the department was ‘‘cum- brous” and overburdened “to the breaking point,” he said that it was never more alive than now, and that it was kept alive by the constant in- fusion of new blood. Recently several new executives had been added to its strength. He agreed that in some lines of production, the output was below expectations. Of ten major div- isions of war industry, seven were either abreastor ahead of schedule, while three were not in such a satis- factory state. The seven industrial divisions which had developed in line with expectations were, the supply of personal equipment for the armed forces, the construction industry, ship- building mechanical transport manu- facture, chemicals and _ explosives, sheels, and component parts of shells.
Production of Aircraft
The aircraft industry hadn ot been so satisfactorily situated. Mr. Howe pointed out that shell manufacture for example had been carried out on a large scale during the last war by Canadian companies, many of which were able to start out again without much trouble. Aircraft manufac- ture on the other hand was .n an em- bryonic state in Canada at the begin- ning of this war. When France col- lapsed, the British government ad- vised that Canda must postpone the delivery of planes for the joint train- ing scheme. They needed all their planes at home. Canda had to swing into production of advanced trainers, and purchases in the meantime had to be made in the United States. The production of these Avro Ansons, is now well advanced in Canadian fac tories. The magnitude of the task had not been appreciated. The gen- eral impression given by the minister of the aircraft industry in this country —and he went into details of output, of ‘each large factory— is that while there has been delay, difficulties are being surmounted and production is getting well under way. The manu- facture of tanks in Canda has en- countered difficulties jn designing, and in the assembling of parts, but this work is in competent hands and it will not be long before Canadian fac- tories are producing both infantry and cruiser tanks, those powerful and essential instruments of modern war.
Defence of Canada Regulations
The leader of the C.C.F, party, Mr. M. J. Coldwell, complained that under the Defence of Canada Regulations, in their present form and as now ad- ministered “many elementary democ- ratic rights of Canadian citizens are jeopardized”, He insisted that every accused person, organization and pa- per should have the right of being heard by an impartial and compet- nt tribunal. The minister of justice. Ernest Lapointe, replied to this that a committee of the house had survey- ed and amended the defence regula- tions and a new committee would ag- ain examine them, As the minister of justice it was his duty to apply the regulations and he would do so fear-

Strathmore, Alberta, March 6th, 1941
GOD GRANT US PEACE
The tide of peace recedes
From sun-washed coasts across the world, The storm fiend’s banners
In the leaden clouds have been unfurled, And empires toil amid the gloom
To stay the curse of war—of doom.
Again man’s blinding rage
And towering pride of power decrees That blood and woe submerge
The helpless race; the weary prophet sees The tyrant stalk once more untamed, Despite our widows, orphans, maimed.
God of all Justice and of Peace, Thy hand against this horror raise in might; Save us from war, its bitterness,
Its recless ruin, crime;
defend our right!
Trustful we ery to Thee for aid, For we the price of peace have paid.
Red strife ’gainst race or creed,
Man against man or breed is not Thy plan— Return the peace tide in again
To wash the storm-stained shores that span The world. May troublers cease,
Their plots to rob the earti: of peace,
And justice, righteousness and rest
In every land be manifest.
The country was at war, and the re gulations were necessary for protec- tion. If the airmen, sailors and sold- fers of Canada were facing death without complaint, parliament and the government should, through the enforcement of the regulations, pre vent communists and others from stabbing the defence forces in the back.
St. Lawrence Waterway
The progress of negotiations on the St. Lawrence seaway project has been explained to the house by Prime Minister Mackenzie King. If this pro- ject had not an immediate bearing on the war, it would not be a question before parliament, he told the house. “I agree altogether with the view ex- ressed here (by members of both sides of the house) that the St. Law-
—T, B: Windross.
rence waterway development as a project in time of war can be justif- ied only on the basis of war neces- sity”. The Dominion government had been carrying on negotiations with the provincial governments of Ontar- fo and Quebec, and when these were concluded, the draft agreement with the United States would again be considered and he hoped for an early conclusion of the negotiations. It was mentioned during the debate that dams would have to be constructed to limit flood damage from the power installations at the international sec- tion of the river.

season, it was apparent there would not be sufficient space in country elevators to take the farmers’ wheat at the speed at which, in past years, it had been hauled to markets; and so it was necessary that the flow of grain to country elevators should be slowed down somewhat, at least dur- ing the early part of the delivery sea- son,
The Canadian Wheat Board was given the task—in addition to its usual duties—of guiding the flow of wheat from farms to country points to accord with the space in country elevators as it became available. This was done by allotting quotas to the farmers in each district, During the first six months two-thirds of the

MONEY, no less than men and machines, is vitally needed to win this war.
YOU can provide that money... and save for your own future... by investing in WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES regularly... for the duration.
Go to the branch of The Royal Bank where you maintain your account, Sign one of the special War Savings “Pledge” forms which will enable the bank to purchase War Savings Certificates for you every month automatically.
Once you have signed the form, the bank looks after everything for you... buys the certificates, pays for them out of your account... arranges for them to be delivered to you direct from Ottawa.
This is urgent. Do it to-day. It's a sure way to save...and a practical way to strike your blow for freedom.

THE HEALTH UNIT AGAIN
The Standard has repeatedly urged ‘the benefit of establishing a Health Unit for this section of Alberta, which would include the Municipalit- ies of Grasswold, Shepard, Blackfoot, | Bow Valley, Beddington, Keoma and Springbank. |; A meeting was held last August at ;Wiich these M. D.’s were represented | and were strongly in favor,
Since August it appears some of the
districts have fal'en by the wayside, | was too heavy. If these same districts would realize that the increased tax would be ‘very small, and compared with the benefit derived in improved health for the growing generation the cost is trifling, they would be well re- paid,
The following is strong endorsation.
SERVICEABLE HEALTH UNIT Lacombe Globe
S time moves along at the mile-a- minute pace to which the present generation has become accustomed, the average resident of Central Al- berta is quite apt to forget the splen- did services which are being given by the Red Deer Full-Time Health Unit. However, the annual report of that organization, which has just been is- sued, is a reminder that the human- itarian efforts of this efficient medi- cal unit are being carried on with in- creaged vigor. Dr L. A. McLean and his staff of nurses have compiled a complete outline of their work during the past year, and all those who be- Heve in giving credit where credit is due will realize that they have pre- sented nother genuine record of pro-

During the past year, the unit has visited every school in the district as often as possible for the purpose of giving examinations for diseases of every type. Children suffering from any disease or infection have been quarantined as a protection for other pupils, and in this manner threatened epidemics have been halted before any serious results have occurred. The pupils have also been educated in habits of cleanliness and _ sanita- tion which are bound to have good ef- fects over the years,
Adult clinices—which known in bygone days—have be- come a regular service with the Health Unit. At these clinics tuber- culosis tests are given regularly to all those who have reason to believe that they may be afflicted with this or oth- er diseases, Lectures have been ranged from time to time in an en- deavor to acquaint the average resi- dent with the progress which has been made with teh treatment of cancer, diabetes and other maladies which have plagued the human race since Time began,
The mere fact that such services are rendered by the Red Deer Health Unit in towns, villages, hamlets and even he smallest of the little red schoolhouses in Central Alberta is just one more indication that the world is moving forward at a rapid pace. However, despite the speed of today’s events there is still time to recognize the worth of our fine Health Unit by extending our heart- iest congratulations to Dr McLean and his assistants for their continued efforts in behalf of better health in Central Alberta.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CURLING
The championship matches for the “World's Title” held in the Curling Rink on Wednesday night, proved un. usually exciting and tense games, as
—
the Title was won and lost in a per ;
iod of something like four and a half hours. Champion Curler No. 1 A. D. Shrimpton, playing Champion No. 2 Spence Hughes, put up a good game until about the end of the fifth end, tams, and apparently, changed luck also,

had anything to do with their ultim ate scores or not, it is nevertheless indisputable that many of the stones were played not for teh broom, but for the far more brightly colored

Playing brilliantly, the two teams
| fought hard all the way, The game ‘was waived in teh 8th end, Swanson
leading 13-7, leaving him undisputed ‘champion of the world”, Of his sec- ond tilt, teh losing Champ has noth- ing te say, but in an interview while he was still Champ, he discounted his victory as of little account, “Since we had such little opposition, that it Was a mere walk-away.”
The sponsors of the tilt, wish to thank those who supported them in their efforts to help the Red Cross. On examining the box for admission afterwards, it was found to contain $5.36, and they were greatly pleased and surprised on finding that one in terested spectator had so enjoyed the rogram that he left a dollar bill.

THE BUCKSHEE FUND
If you see a box marked Buckshee Fund in store or office, drop in your nickels or dimes or two-bits.
This goes to buy smokes for the boys overseas. This fund is authoriz- ed under War Charities Act and large tobacco companies have united to give a very reduced price, and low shipping rates are also allowed.
Every packet has a stamp stating ‘tor free use only’, so they cannot ossibly be sold. Send Canadian smokes to the boys.
