. AND TO PRESERVE IT",
From time to time; the mischief -
Makers and the cynics have whined
a bit and nagged at Britain. John
Bull wouldn't state Britain's war
aims and his dog wouldn't step one
inch away from the . Union Jack.,
Neither, of them could be duped into
taking their eyes from their adver-
sary, no matter what cunning he
employed to throw them off their
guard. But now Britain has taken a
few minutes' breathing spell- the
first in .18 months and the first
thing John Bull does is to state Brit-
ain's war aims, or rather, the first of
her war aims.
In the words of Churchill, the lead
er, Britain's first war aim is this: To
be worthy of the love that has flown
to Britain from the Dominions of the
Crown across the broad ocean spaces
and to preserve it.
Dictators may well worry when a
mighty Empire's war aim is love and
its preservation. For God so loved
the world that He gave His only be-
gotten Son, and Britain so loves
Christian democracy and Freedom
and the rights of men that she will
stand steadfast -soldiers and fisher -
folk, parliamentarians, shepherds and
typists --and with the support of sons
and daughters over the seas she wiII
suffer and die that children born to-
day maybe the free men and women
of tomorrow.
For such is the spirit of Britain,
and such is the kingdom which free
amen love and fight for, keeping love
in their hearts and declaring it before
the world. So did Churchill, broad-
casting Britain's first war aim to the
world. In every broadcast presented
to the Canadian people in the over-
seas service of the BBC, there is
fresh evidence of this spirt of Britain,
a spirit which Churchill likens to the
spirit of Waterloo, a spirit to inspire
love and preserve it. Let us keep
this spirit kindled, let us lend for
Victory.
One for All and All for
One -Canada
"Canadians All", a series of pro-
grammes in the interest of Canadians
other than those whose ancestry is
British or French, is to be presented
over the National Network of the
CBC commencing Wednesday, Feb -
There are over four million well
Canadians - Ukrainian, Icelandic,
Netherlands, Hungarian, Swedish,
Finnish, Czech, Polish, Belgian, Ital-
ian, German and Norwegian, whose
loyalty to Canada and whose service
on behalf of freedom and democracy
is considerable, Many English and
French speaking Canadians are un-
familiar with the honoured traditions
of their fellow citizens, their great
gifts of culture, heroism and stead-
fastness which are adding richness to
the Canadian scene today and which
will be part of the greater Canada
of tomorrow,
Many of these Canadians of Euro-
pean ancestry are serving in Can-
ada's armed forces, many others are
Working in the war industries and the
science laboratories of the Dominion,
still .others are in the woods, the
mines, on the farms and at sea, pea: -
:riding the .food and munitions vital
to the cause to which Canada has
pledged herself. The womenfolk are
doing their share in the home econ-
omy, the soelal and war services.
Their loyalty and aspirations and
the part they are playing in democ-
1 racy's fight against oppression will
be described daring the broadcasts by
one of their own members, speaking
to all other Canadians. In the final
programme of the series, 'Canadians
of British and French descent will
salute the citizens of the lineages
represented in the other 12 broad-
casts.
The programmes have been design-
ed at the suggestion of the Director
of Public Information and will in-
clude, besides descriptive narrative
and music, a number of important
speakers, representing Canadians all.
The first programme, in honour of
the Ukrainians in Canada, will be
produced from Winnipeg on February
26. • Geoffrey Waddington will conduct

St. David's Day
In honour of the people of Wales,
their descendants overseas and their
heroes, the CBC will present a Saint
David's Day programme from Tor-
onto on Saturday, March 1 at 6.30 to
6.45 p.tn. EST. The tribute in. music
' and narrative, written by Aileen
`Beaufort, will recall the proud tradi-
� tion of Britain's oldest allies, "those
brave warrior bards, the Welsh."
Deeds of brave renown and gifts of
legend, speech and song mingle in
the proud story of Wales.
Today, as the people or Wales
stand fast with the people of Britain,
holding their ground and uniting
their efforts in the cause -of freedoin,
they can look back into a distant
antiquity for the roots of their cul-
ture, which they do not intend to
surrender.
It is as natural for a Welsh child
to sing as it is for him to play. His
ancestors attended their first Eisted-
dfod in 1451, but long before that,
the harp was struck and the song
was raised from mountain and valley,
in cottage and hall, wherever the
eherished Welsh tongue was spoken.
Singers and netors of Welsh descent
will participate in the broadcast.
A Former Poet Laureate
A song written by Sir William'
Davenant, who was poet -laureate of
England in the early 17th- Century,
will be included on the "Heritage of
Song" programme, Sunday, February,
23 at 2.00 p.m. EST. Sir William
did not receive his knighthood for his
verse ,even though it Was very pleas-
ant, nor for his many plays, but for
bravery at the siege of Gloucester
in 1643. Fortunately he •is remem-
bered for his fine verse, too, and one
of his loveliest lyrics is the song
listed, "The Lark Now Leaves His
Watery Nest", which will be sung by
the programme's tenor soloist, 'Will-
iam Morton. "Heritage of Song" is
the new series designed by John Mur-
ray Gibson to present in chronological

in the English tongue from the days
of Elizabeth to the present. Frances

Sixty Years of Progress
Sixty years of faithful and valu-
able service to Canada form
the background for the sixtieth
anniversay of the Canadian Paci-
fic Railway Company In mid-
h'ebruai•y,
On February 15, 1881, the 'Gov-
'ernment of Sir John A. Macdonald
granted a charter for the building
by a private company or a railway
to the Pacific Coast. Two days
later, the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Company was organized on
an official basis and a glorious
new era of Canada's history bad
begun.
The Canada of 1831 was an in-
fant country, its sparsely settled.
portions separated from each
other by dense wilderness. Con-
federation itself was in danger be-
cause of lack of communication
between provinces, Railway con-
nection with British .Columbia ball
been promised but in ten years
the work accomplished had been
negligible.
The story of the building of the
transcontinental, line oan be sum-
med up in the statement that it
was completed in half; the. time.
called for in the charter, with a
Pitifully small subsidy' consider-
ing what had been granted in
other places, and in face of the
most bitter of political opposition.
Time and again the whole project,
including every cent of the build-
ers' personal fortunes, seemed
lost. Tho growth of the Canadian
Pacific Railway and of Canada
represents sixty years of mutual
oo-oporatlon, each aiding in and
benefiting from the other's
strength and prosperity.
In 1881, Canada was a country
with 4,324,810 population, posses-
sing total export trade o1 $83,944,-
701 and import -trade of $90,488,-
329. Its field crops were worth
$155,277,427, its dairying $22,743,-
039, and its manufactures 9109,-
976,068. In the last year of re-
cord, Canada's estimated popula-
tion was 11,315,000, exports total--
led
otal=led $1,178,954,000 and imports 9.1,-
081,950,000 Field • crops were
worth $651;228,000, dairying $217,-
716,029 and manufactures. $3,337,-
681,366,
The Canadian Pacific Railway's
growth in the same period has
been equally mazing There
was
practically nothing in 1881. Now,
the"eompany•Itas 17,169 miles of
rail lines in Canada; 55 ocean;
coastal and lake Steamships, hotels
with a totalof 5,204 rooms as well'
as summer' lodges, 1,767 locomo-
stock. Its property and equip-
ment represent au investment of
more than one billion dollars.
Other facts of interestconcern-
ing the world's greatest transpor-
tation system are that it operated
370,000 circuit miles of telegraph
lino last year and carries 120,000
passengers across the Atlantic in
a normal year, In 1640 the Cana-
dian Pacific rail services carried
nearly eight million passengers a
total of more than 924 million
passenger miles, in addition to
transporting approximately 37
million tons of freight represent-
ing more than sixteen billion ton
miles. During last year the com-
pany paid out in taxes more than
nine million dollars and, since in-
corporation, a total of approxim-
ately. 172 million dollars, The
gross earnings in 1040 totalled
$1.70,964,000, every dollar of which
represented a unit of service to
the Dominion and the Empire.
The illustrations above are
symbolic of 60 years
of progress

which was more romantic than
comfortable; the arrival of the
first transcontinental •train at the
Pacific Coast' on July 4, 1886, and

In Britain's £800,000 Livestock
Shipment
Canada's 'Purchases el Horess, Cattle,
Sheep and Pigs
Dogs of various breeds, fowls,
ducks, pigeons, even oysters and bees,
are unexpected items in the livestock
safely shipped loin Britain overseas
during 1940. Preliminary estimates
put the total value of it at a figure
not far short of 2800,000.
Seventy per cent. of this is account-
ed for by horse, either for breeding
or racing. Thoroughbreds were sent
to the United States, Canada, South
Africa, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Col-
ombia, Trinidad and Barbados. Htuit-
ors were taken by Canada and U.S.A.
as were Hackneys and Clydesdales.
The U.S.A. was in fact Britain's
biggest horse buyer by far last year
for.' she also took polo ponies, Shet-
land ponies, Arab horses, and Suffolk
Punches.
Altogether, 1627 horses were ship-
ped from Britain during 1940, com-
pared with 724 the year before and
1200 in 1938.
Cattle were the next most import-
ant export, about one-sixth of the
total value. Shorthorns were sent to
U.S.A., Canada, Argentina, Uruguay
and Kenya. Of the dairy breeds
Kenya took Ayrshires and English
Jerseys;' Brazil, Ayrshires; Nepal,
British Friesians.
Of the famous British beef breeds,
Aberdeen Angus cattle went to Can-
ada and Argentina, Herefords to Ar-
gentina and Uruguay and a South
Devon. bull to Colombia.
A feature of the sheep exports was
the growing;_ popularity of the Kent,
or Romney Marsh, breed which was
shipped to India, Argentina, Chile,
Peru, Uruguay and the Falkland Is-
lands.
Argentina took the greatest variety
of sheep breeds; in addition to Kents
her quota included Lincoln Long -
wools, Hampshire Downs, Ryelands,
w hr sires
Southclo ns, S op h , Border
Leicesters and Oa-iord Downs.
Canada had Suffolks, Hampshire
Downs and Southdowns; Chile, these
two last; India, in addition to Kents,
bought Southdowns, Hampshire
Downs, Border Leicesters, Cheviots
and Weitsleydales; Uruguay tools the
Lincoln Langwool breed; Egypt, the
Suffolk.
Pigs of the famous Large White
breed were sent to Canada.
All this livestock is valuable pedi-
gree stock sent overseas for breeding
purposes: a proportion of it is being
used to maintain the standard of live-
stock in countries from which food-
stuffs come back to Britain.
These exports are thus coaling a
double contribution to Britain's war
effort; ancl the £800,000 estimate of
their value shows a big increase over
1989 when it was £683,000.

Lancashire announces a new cot-
ton suede fabric on the lines of what
was once made in Germany and in
Czechoslovakia.
Its uses are most varied. Already.
it is being made into windproof jac-
