'Treaty, a small Dumber of Canadian

jaw in London t participate as nun-
members in the eouversations now in
progress in the military vonnuittee of
the Brussels Treaty Powers."
The United. States is sending 75
more Shooting Star jet fighting planes
by carrier to reinforce its aerial
strength in troubled Germany, Amer-
,
c officials disclosed recently. The
Banes will arrive aboard the 12,000
ton escort order Sicily at Glasgow,
August 4th, following 10 other jot
fighters which crossed the Atlantic by
air and GO Superfortress bombers
which already are at RA.E. bases in
England on a training schedule.
The announcement was top line:
news in London, England, newspapers,
which had been giving front-page
space for some days to the trip of the
Superfortresses. The jet fighter group
could' be used for training work with
the •Superforts in providing cover un-
der simulated war conditions, to es-
cort the big air transports now sup-
plying blocaded. Berlin if that became
necessary, or merely to bolster the air-
strength of United States occupation
forces.

A historic decision for, the United
States and Canada to participate in
joint military planning with the five
members of the Western European
Union was disclosed in London re- gg
cently. This coincided with the declar-
ation made by the Western Union For-

of the western powers' dispute with
the Soviet Union, that they were de-

GRAVE THREAT TO PEACE
A potentially grave threat not only
to the Anglo-American air 'lift into
Berlin, but also to the peace of the
11 world is arising from increased Rus-
sian fighter plane activity in the air
corridors through which the Western
sectors of the besieged city are sup-
plied, Information from both the Un-
ited States and Royal Air Forces in
recent days shows that Soviet air act-
ivity within the corridors is on a great-
ly increased scale and that moreover
it is not reported in detail to the air
safety centre maintained by the four -
occupying powers,
Both American and British Air for-
ces are concerned over the possibility
that the Soviet Military administration
= may raise barrage balloons in areas
I near Templehof and Gatow, thus in-
al creasing the risk in landings and take-
offs at night or in cloudy weather at

ion is needed to save Canadian citi-
zens from starving, who must exist on
the small fixed income from savings
and investments, which grow less as
interest rates decrease while living
costs soar,
The vicious circle of higher wage
demands, strikes, increased wages, in-
creased cost of merchandise due to the
increased production costs, must go
on to the inevitable collapse of this
country's economy unless the govern-
ment calls a halt, Strikes must be out-,
laved, employers and employees must
co-operate as partners. to regulate
wages and prices of all commodities,
and the cost of living must be brought
back in line with 1937 values. It is
the duty of the government to make
our Canadian dollar worth 100 cents.
