VA -TOM The Pick of Tobacco OTTAWA REPORTS That Canadian System of Meat Rationing Has Been Adopted By Australian Government Australia, which recently went on meat rationing, has adopted the Canadian system with only minor variations, according to Paul Ma. lone, press attache, Office of the High Commissioner for Canada, at Canberra, who was In Ottawa last week. As here, sugar, butter and tea have been rationed for some time and many foods are' in short sup- ply although Australia is produc- ing more than at any time in her history. The farm labor shortage which Mr. Malone says is prob- ably more acute than anywhere in the world has led to some pro- gress in greater mechanization. The country's aboriginal popula- tion, though not large has come to the rescue of the sheep star tions, and the curious fact that FIGHTS IN NORTH Gen. K.

The procedure under which e basin price was established for B1 hog carcasses and prices for other grades determined by an - plying discounts, except in the case of Grade A. carcasses for which a premium was paid by the packers, will be discontinued. Hogs will be purchased on the basis of their carcass values in the various grades. Government premiums will be pald In the ease of Grade A. carcasses at $3.00 a carcass, and in the case of Grade B1 at $2.00 a carcass. The prem• sum of $1,00 , formerly paid by the packers on Grade A carom - es will be paid on the carcass grade value for export bacon.

THE WAR WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events Germany Builds High Wall Of Hate Which Will Remain When War Ends In its hectic endeavor to hold off invasion Germany has con- structed strong fortifications around the periphery of Europe and on the frontiers of the fatherland, says The Cleveland Plaits Dealer. The whole aim of German life today is to live within Fortress Europe and postpone the inevitable. It seeks to keep the armies of the free world outside the borders of the Reich as long as possible. There is iio doubt that thiswall will be breached. Before long. the armies that will liberate Europe will invade the -soil of Germany, But in hisdesperation. to suspend the consequences of the war it launched Germany has built another wall that will not so easily be pierced. It is a wall that in the postwar years will keep Germany confined, isolated and a third'-zate power in the affairs of nations. It is the wall of hate. Section by section Germany has constructed this edifice that ,will become its own prison. First was Austria, then Czechoslovakia, then Poland, Denmark and Nor- way. Then the Netherlands; Bel giunn, France, and finally the Bal- kans and Russia. Work of Germans Each portion of this wall was built from a blueprint of treachery. It's materials -are the lives of thous- ands of free men who insisted on liberty for their homelands. It is topped with the barbs of a hatred born of broken houses, slave labor, hostages, larceny, misery, starv- ation and death. No armies can demolish this wall. It is not open to attack. It is invisible. It exists in the _minds and hearts of millions of men, wo- men and children. Yet, intangible, GENERAL CLEAN-UP Maj. -Gen, W. H.

No armistice, no peace treaty can eliminate this barricade.' It will exist for years, nay, for 'gen- erations as the one European fron- tier that 'can be neither obliterated or even rectified. No enemy raised this ring around Germany. It is the work of the Germans them- selves. And the consequences of. its btiilding will be far reaching, Effect on Neutral Countries Today people wonder what to do with Germany after the war to prevent a repetition of warfare another generation hence, Cera tainly some definite steps must be . taken to control the force of the pal -Germans, the Junkers and the National Socialists under other labels. But whatever is done, will be as nothing coir pared to what the Germans have done themselves. Consider for a moment the next generation, In its schools in Po- land, in Czechoslovakia, in Nor- way—in every country on the con- tinent --it will read the history of these years. Yet the mere read- ing of factual accounts; without any effort whatsoever on the part of teachers and elders to breed hate, will keep this wall around German' intact. The story of these times will hart similar effects in those coun- tries which were neutral in this war and on those which were neutral in the World War, in the false belief that Germany could be trusted. Denmark, Norway, Hol- land, to mention but three, which looked with something of approval 'on German aims in 1014, have learned a bitter lesson. Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey tomorrow will not be taken in by Germany, Germany Encircled Who, after what has happened to Europe — probably - the most terrifying experience since the in- vasions of the Mongols .and the Tartars—will have any faith in Germany's promises? \Vhat coun- try will enter to, alliance or con- clude a treaty with the new Ger- many, whoever may be at its head or whatever may be its political professions, withotet a mental re- servation and a physical prepare. - tion for treachery? Germany cried out falsely against .. 'encirclement' when any small na- tion of Europe tried to defend it- self. Today Germany is encircled as never beforc'in history, encircled by bonds of its own creation. This wall of hate will remain when the battles are over. It will remain for future generations. And behind it, condemned to live as a third-rate anu ever -suspected power, Germany will lead the life of the great suspect of Europe, This is the one bit of justice in the great injustice which Germany sought to work against the world.

To most Canadians that may mean little except that it sounds like a lot of ground to devote to flowers And so it is—but it pays off. Sunflower seeds are a valuable source of edible oil and Canada's supply, now limited, needs all the bolstering it can get. Cultivating sunflowers is a profitable under- taking, too, for cash returns run as high as $35 an acre. For wheat it is only about $29; oats $28 and barley $21. Returns from flaxseed, the only other oil crop -of importance, run about $18 an acre. Sunflower oil may be hardened or hydrogenated to produce, shortening. In its refined form it is used as a cooking oil. It finds a multitude of other uses ,in the preparation of Such edible food- stuffs as mayonnaise and sand- wich andwith spreads, Sunflower meal, be. sides being one of the highest protein foods, has commercial pos- sibilities for human consumption. In many respects it resembles the soybean. Roasted, the seeds are good eating and have been ie high favor for years with people of Russian extraction. Sunflower protein may be pro- cessed to produce an egg white substitute for use in baking, Other possibilities Meade its use in the plastic and nylon -type textile field. The future of the sunflower, officials say, appears almost an bright as the flower itself. coNTAIh VITAMIN r,0 i free i ESSEAl7A4 ': MiN�t�ts, :s • • • i INCREASED REFUND For Standard Domestic Beer Bottles Because of a severe bottle shortage, the Brew- ing Industry (Ontario), at the request of the Administrator of Alcoholic Beverages, Ot- tawa, announces increased prices to be paid for standard domestic beer bottles: effective January 10th, as follows: Small Bottles -From 2c to 3c per bottle, or from 48c to 72c per carton of 24 small: Large Bottles -From 4c to 5c per bottle, or from 48c to 60c per carton of 12 large.
