How do the British do these things? Her: i0 a nation with a pop- ulation only three and a Itself times 'that of Canada, yet its per capita wear contribution, whether judged Ihy men, motley or production, Makes our Mil seen ;puny by comparison. Recently in 'Vancouver, 'Mr. H, R. MdMillan. chairman of Canada's Wartime Requirements Board, spoke of this British 'achievement, was re- ported as follows: "Mr. I_\[d\'lildau said it -would always be a marvel how Britain, with a pop- ulation only three and a half times that of Canada and with lower per capita wealth and earnings, lower per capita dtroduetion and use of power, had been able to challenge the might of a 1011y organized military power an 50 many 'fronts. Britain had mil- lions of men in uniform, her navy controlled the seas, iter• merchant marine continued to (bring home the bacon', her 'workers continued to do an efficient 'job while 'bombs rained death upon them. If Canada perform- ed tete same task on a per capita basis she would have 600,000 then in uni- form and 1A400,0f10 men on war pro - 100110n, with war expenditures mounting to $12 millions daily," In parliament this week, (Minister of Munitions Howe spoke of a short- age of manpower for a Canadian shill - 'building Program involving the con- struction of '40 -cargo ships of a ,total. of 100,'000 mus. Weld, Britain, with three and a half times our population, mans a cargo sltip`beilding program of close upon 3,000,000 tons: mans the construction of hattleships, battle cruisers, destroyers; tcttbmarines; mans as well a -colossal repair job up- on her navy and merchant marine, Where do the then come from? 'Whence come British then who man the British merchant fleet over all the world's ,great waters-20,000.- 000 aters--20,000; 01111 tons of shipping? 'Whence the met who titan the British Fleet; not merely 'battleships and cruisers :anti destroyers, ;but the great trawler fleet, tete mine -sweepers, the speed- boats? Whence the men who comp- rise the Royal British Air Force— not merely 'tens of thousands of pilots but hundreds of thousands of gronn(1 111011 and mechanics, and the scores of thousand, of others who, in thou -Ober' factories and plants, turn out perhaps a thousand British planes per month?? Whence, finally. the Mighty army of British war w•oirkers—the sten who turn out all manner of 011111on and tanks and rifles and shells and all the other things that ago to supply a na.vy that cover, the seas and an army that numbers a million Wren?

Britain, quark well, has 2,01)0,000 then ---apart from her 111(0) — called to 0110 colors; has her- home guard, her wardens,- her ambulance nna'n, her .fire-fighters, her police... 10ne answer is that Britain is fight- ing with 1100 back to the -wall; fiq'ht- ing while death rains down upon her homes and her cities.

Doesn't it tell 'of some grave lack here in Canada in the way of mobiliz- ation and organization of our res- ources when, with more than a fourth of Britain's manpower, and with but a small fraction of her effort on land, sea, in the air and in industrial pro- duction .we confess to lack of work- ers for a relatively small shipbuild- ing project? Does it not suggest a weakness somewhere? A lack of planned mob- ilization of our full strength? An ab- sence of ability to effect the best this 'country can?

The total number of people murdered by the Gestap'o throughout the German oc- cupied area is given as over 70,000. At 'Warsaw in the Gouvernetnent General executions -were formerly carried out in various ;parts of the city, for instance in the Sejm gardens in the daytime and in full view of (the people. Today the chief place of 'exe- cution 'for Warsaw and the environs is the locality of Falmira, outside the city. In this place there are nearly a score of collective 'graves of people so murdered, in which 'probably some two thousand people, mainly from in- tellectual oircles, are buried. There are always several trenches, dug by Jewish enforced labor, -waiting for 'the next batch of prisoners. Among those shot at Palneira as the 'leader of the Polish Socialists.
