Woman Gets Spy Term

age suspect was sentenced to peniten-
tiary.
Kathleen Mary Willshcr, 40-year-old
native of London, ,,England, was sen-
tenced to three years in prison by a
judge who couldn't agree with either
crown or defence lawyers that.,her of-
fence and her background warranted
less.
She pleaded guilty to one charge
under the official Secrets Act of giv-
ing to .an unauthorised person confid-
ential information that related chiefly
to Canadian diplomatic reports from

King Will Join,
Premiers May 12
London,--The first definite announ-
cement of Prime Minister King's plans
for attending the commonwealth con-
sultations here at which Empire -de-
fence .problems, the future of the Pol-;
ish forces outside of Poland and other
matters came under consideration.
A conference spokesman said Mr.
King had informed the meeting he
planned to leave Ottawa May 12th and
arrive in London, May 18th. The
spokesman added that since, Canada so
far has • not been represented at the
talks, no final decisions have been
taken and other representatives will
raise with Mr. King some of the sub-.
jests already discussed.
Ottawa' Expected To Press Plans
Ottawa,—Opinion was widely ex-•
preSSed after indefinite adjournment of
the Dominion-Provincial conference
that the Dominion would implement its
unaccepted proposals when it brings
down its budget for the 'current sess-
ion of Parliament.
Provincial premiers were among
those who predicted the Federal Gov-
ernment would go ahead with its far-
ranging plans and let the chips fall
where they may.

old age. The booklet tells of 'the many
good reasons fOr the nation-wide Un-
ited Church Pension Fund Drive, from
April 28th to May 16th., to place, the
fund on a "sound actuarial foundation."
From the editorial desk the signifi-
cance of this appeal appears to extend
far beyond the necessary alleviation of
the financial plight of ministers. The
only possible conclusion to be drawn
from much that is happening in Can-
ada is that it emphasizes a national
need for moral and spiritual leadership.
Canada does indeed need these men
and all such men—whatever their
creed, denomination, or religious affil-
iation.

See No Immediate
End To Shortages
Ottawa,—No immediate correction"
of the war-induced shortages, in Can-
ada of food, clothing, fuels and certain
other commodities can be expected, it
was stressed in the 1945 report of the
Prices Board,tabled in the Commons,
The report, written by Chairman-
Donald Gordon of the Board, and tab-
led by Finance Minister Ilsley, attri-
buted the situation to "acute world
shortages" and said supplies in Can-
ada still were "by no' means adequate
to meet unrestricted domestic de-
mands."
Predict U. S. Highway Toll
Will Be 40,000 in 1946
Washington,—Americans are being
asked 'to face the •grim but inescapable
fact that the mangled bodies of 40,000
men, women and children, will be
strewn along United States motor
highways in 1946. About 1,000,000
persons will be injured.
Because of that appalling outlook,
President Truman has called a con-
ference of interested organizations to
be held in Washington May 8-10 in an
effort to reduce the slaughter.

Japs Told To Destroy
Major Combat Vessels
Tokyo,—The Japanese government
was ordered to destroy by April 30th.,
1947, the new major combat vessels of
the Imperial Navy which escaped de-
struction in the war.
Allied headquarters said it expected
only eight aircraft carriers and cruis-
ers would be available for immediate
scrapping under terms of the order.
Lack Of Coal Halts
Passenger Trains
Chicago,—The Chicago and Eastern
Illonios Railroad announced that effec-
tive Friday, all of its passenger trains
between Chicago and St. Louis would
be discontinued because of a shortage
of coal. Road officials said the num-
ber of cars on trains to Evansville,
Ind., and points southeast would be
reduced and freight service adjusted
to conserve coal.
Hints Action On Sales Of
Black Market Meat.
Toronto,—If Toronto retail butchers
are selling meat at black market prices,
they'll be sorry. That's the word from
the Prices Board which said it had set
up a new system of checking retail•
prices—a system to reveal positive
proof of black market sales.
"We cannot let the secret out of the
bag yet but butchers will probably
know what it's all about by Saturday
night," a Prices Board spokesman said.
"Every butcher is being checked. If
he is selling black market meat, he
only thinks he is getting away with it."
CANADA NEEDS
THESE MEN
Of all men, it is the historian, per-
haps, who is best able to look object-
ively upon' human affairs, finding in
what is happening today a significant
resemblance to what happened, it may
be, many centuries ago. He may not
subscribe altogether to the popular be-
lief that history repeats itself. But he
will probably admit that an unbroken
chain of cause and effect can be traced
throughout the recorded history of
mankind, To him,tribes and races,
nations, empires and civilizations them-
selves are living organisms that wax
and wane, subject to laws of growth
and decay,sensitive to internal and ex-
ternal pressnres, plantlike in their need
for continuous cultivation if they are
to remain sturdy, fruitful and long-en-
during,
Every human society has within it-
self the seeds of its own dissolution,
And harking back, perhaps, over the
centuries to the .glory that was Greece
and the splendour that was Rome, our
historian would point to moral decay
—the general lowering of standards of
human conduct—as the dry rot which,
in the plentitude of their power, insid-
iously sapped the very foundations of
mighty nations, laying waste the tri-
umphs and achievements of etnturieS,
