Hundreds of motorists, in every province of Canada were asked thi; question: "If you had a tire permit, what tire would you buy today?" By a huge majority Goodyear was again elected Canada's first choke tire! , . This simply proves that\ motorists, forced to keep their ofd tires running, have learned that Goodyear's "extra mileage" is not merely a claim or q catch -phrase, but a definite reality. Never before, since motoring began, have tires come through sych a testing -time as during the past eighteen months. Never before have motorists been compelled to extract The very last mile from tires. Therefore when Conadals first choice tire, Goodyear, comes through thot period and remains, by all odds, the first choice tire, there IS abundant proof that moter4t; hove found, by practical experience, that Goodyears do give a "bonus in miles and service". When peace time comes—"Go Goodyear"-, ' and get EXTRA MILES. MORE PEOPLE RIDE ON GOODYEAR TIRES THAN, ON ANY OTHER KIND NB O., Weekly Editor Looks • At Ottawa In the House of Commons the other day attended, on behalf of the weeklies, a press conference for Gen- eral Henri Giraud. A memorable ex- perience for me. The General spoke for 50 minutes, without notes. Tall, wearing a plain khaki fteld uniform without decorations of any kind, he looked every inch the famous soldier, Who in two wars has escaped from German prisons. His chiselled, gran- ite jaw Sets up an interesting face, close to a double for the late Lord Kitchener. He talks in slow, measur- ed tones, without gesticulation; at times arms folded. He has piercing eyes which seem to take everything in without moving. While speaking, his face, stern, is in complete repose. Only twice did he appear animated; once when talking about the road from "Tunis to )3erlin"; and again later in the question period when asked what effect recognition would have for the national liberation com- mittee. • Questioned in the House why the discount on Canadian fuuds as against U.S. dollars, Finance Minister Ilsley stated. that stability is much more important at the present time. Any change in final exchange rates, he declared, would cause a vast amount of dislocation; some would benefit, others wouldn't. There- would be no national gain by reducing the spread now. For instance if the west exported a lot of grain to the U.S. they would suffer by reason of the changing rates set. As the Sicilian invasion news broke, Parliament sitting in irri- tating, hot sticky weather, fenced Ito way through a penetrating discussion on foreign affairs. • Howard Green, Vancouver, ProPeSed a foreign affairs committee like they have in Washington: R. B. Hanson called the government's for- eign policy negative. Here is a little back-bench °eminent: Mrs. Cora T. Casselinan thought our foreign policy should be three -fold: Fitrstly, one to which the majority subscribe; second- ly, being free and autonomous, it should be in close alliance with the Commonwealth and the 'U.S.A. Third- ly, in it we should be wrapped up with the security and peace of the world community. E. G. Hansen took the stand that the British Empire needs Canada; Canada needs the em- pire, but above all the world definite- ly needs the British Empire. West coast members like Mr. A. W. Neill, have been particularly anxi- ous for the government to say what will be done with Japanese national; after the war. There are, roughly, 9,000, a third still subJects of Japan; another third neturalized; remainder born an Canada.
