Every passing day establishes new records for the number of Allied planes that imam the Nazi skies, for the weight of bombs and incen- diaries dropped on Nazi targets, for the number of Nazi planes des- stroyed, and for the relentless fre- quency of the attacks, In fact, in both numbers of men and amounts of materiel employed the air war has assumed proportions which place it in a special category of its own. It has finally taken lire airplane out of the category of auxiliary weapon and made the air arta a major branch of the armed forces. The air war itself has become more than a mere prelude to the main event— the invasion. It has become a ape- 'cial phase of a three-dimensional war which demands victory in every phase, and which thereby forces a revision of all past calculations of power, especially as they apply to countries like Great Britain and the 'United States, "Those Few It has been an axiom since tla- han's day that sea power is the de- cisive factor in shaping world his- tory, and especially in winning wars. For naval power, by commanding the seas, also command, the re- sources of the world, and above all ' assures the communication lines .of sea -borne troops. But the modern three-dimensional war is demon- strating that naval power alone is not enough. There is no doubt that without her naval power Bri- tain could scarcely survive. But it is also true that she could not have survived without those few to w'hottt so many owed so cutch -the Bri- tish Air Force, which was as in- strturtental as the British Navy in frustrating Hitler's invasion plans. Now the saute thing applies to the Allies, The Second Phase For naval power alone can no longer safeguard the communica- tion lines of an invading farce. 'I'o assemble the necessary invasion force the Allies had to win, the naval war as the first phase of the total war, and even in that phase the airplane played an almost de- cisive role in defeating the 1.' -brat menace. Now they must win tate air war as the second phase before the actual invasion can: be latm hed. In the end, every war trust be won in battle on the ground, which marks its final phnse. But withmt1 victory in the tiro prererling phases there can be no invasion, no vic- torious ground battle, and therefore no final victory-. Combined Operation It is undoubtedly consultations such as these which prompted Prime Minister Churchill to lay continued emphasis on the air war in his latest speech, and also to point out to tiarehal Stalin the dif- ficulties of large-scale amphibious operations as compared with pure- ly military operations in great land spaces. When the Russian armies met defeat in the initial stages of the war they could retreat for some 900 tulles into the interior and, after orgeniziug the full resources of an evert vaster hinterland, resume the battle with greater Glances, of sue - cess. There was no etre! retreat for the Allele -French army. and there t ill be no such retreat for the Al- lied arntie; of invasion, They must advance from the nsomest they set foot on the Continent in order to deploy all their forces. They must be certain that their communica- tion lines' remail intact and that the way in front of them has been blasted open. That cannot be done by the navy alone. Itwill require a combined operation in three di- mensions which would risk disas- ter unless air victory had been ache ieved first. Even then, Germany witty her interior lines and excel- lent land communications ),night still be able to concentrate an over- whelming superiority at any in- vasion point unless her whole war potential has been seriously re- duced. The Russian armies have been accomplishing this reduction at a tremendous pace, and so has the air and naval war which, as the Russians themselves testify today, contributed so substantially- to the Russian victories. Things To Keep In Mind These are some of the things to keep in mind when relative accom- plishments in the war are meas - used by the Russian ground victor- ies on the one hand and the Allied stalemate at Cassino on the other It ie necessary to keep in mind that the American Air Force alone, though scattered on various fronts, numbers nearly two and a half mil- lion then, or more perhaps than the number of Germans fighting on the Russian front, Anti, the con- centrated British Air Force must be at least half as large again. It must be ]rept in mind that the de- struction of German war produc- tion wrought by the air war is far greater than could have been ach- ieved by any other hind of bom- bardment. And it must be kept in mind that at the present rate of losses German air power, on which Hitler depended for victory, is be- ing eliminated as surely as was Gerutan naval power. - Westminster Hall Oise of a shower of German fire bombs which ,sere dropped re- . eptly in the grounds of the Bri- tish Houses of Parliament, burned a hole in the roof of Westminster Hall, It lauded on the slate roofing of that historic building, rolled down to the edge where it set the woolavork aflame, but was quickly extinguished before doing much damage. Westtisinster hall was built by William Second, son of the Con- queror, in 1087, and attained its pretest forst, inchuhin„ its fatuous oaken ceiling in 1390, the last year of the Plantagenet dynasty. From the thirteenth century until 1882, \1'estmutster Hall was the site of the cluef English law courts, It Vias there that Charles the First was tried and condemned and his son James the Second was deposed. Cromwell was formally installed there as Lord Protector and pre- sented with the Bible and Sword as emblems of his new office. Among the notables condemned to death in the sante hall were Wil- liam 'Wallace, the Scottish hero, the Earl of Essex, who had enjoyed and later lost the favor of Queen Elizabeth, and Guy Fawkes of "gunpowder ,slot fame, who be- came the chief victimof Isis own hare -brained conspiracy. r: CA iQ A Wartime Order limits the quantity of new cartons which a Brewer may purchase.

The years between 1928 and 1933 when farm prices dropped to their lowest level saw the most rapid. drop in owner -operated farms across the Dominion. Of the 550,000 full owners who operated their farms in 1941, less than one-half, or 48 percent, had mortgage indebtedness, The prairie provinces, hit Bard in the previous years with drought as well as de- pression, ranked highest in indebt- uess. Ontario stood at the half -way mark, and Nova Scotia reported the best standing. * * * Getting package bees away to a good start depends on a number of things, according to C. B. Gooder- ham, Dominion Apiarist at Ottawa. First of all, those expecting pack- age bees should arrange with their Nearest express or customs officials for prompt delivery, To house the bees, one hive fitted with 10 drawn combs or full sheets of foundation is needed for each package, and from. 10 to 15 ibs. of sugar or honey is .required to feed them. When received the packages should be stood in a cool shady place, and the bees fed by sprink- ling a thin solution of sugar and water on the screenings of the packages, 1Vait for late afternoon or evening to release the bees is their hives unless the weather is cool and cloudy. * * * It is not the bees you receive that will produce the honey crop, the Apiarist points out, but thdse which can he reared between the time the packages are placed in the -]lives and the time the clovers are in bloom. This means that the bees' mustn't be allowed to run short of feed al any time. Start feeding as sawn as they are in the hire and keep feeding until they are well established and obtaining enottglt from the fields for their needs. Their best food' ie. honey but it should never be given unless one is certain that it has been pro- ducbd by disease-free colonies. 'White sugar dissolved its water is PIPE 'PHIS Cpl.

Provincial apiarists will 'supply the necessary permits for sugar for feeding bees on receipt of full name and address, number of packages or colonies to be fed, and the minimum amount of sugar required, * * * There are good prospects that Britain will want four or five tunes as many fresh apples front Canada in 1014 as she received from the short crop of last year. But the Do- minion Department of Agriculture points out that prospects for this increased trade depend on three "ifs": If Canada has abundant supplies: If ocean shipping permits; If Canada's position for pack- ages, packing and inland transpor- tation periuits. * Y, As a result of last fall's cam- paign in Ontario and Quebec, over 60,000 1be, of milkweed leaves, and more than 10,000 lbs, of whole milk- weed plants have been turned over to the National Research Council where they are being processed, according to Dr. H. A. Senn, Sci- ence Service, Dominion -Depart- stent of Agriculture. It is hoped, Dr. Senn says, that the large scale experiments now being carried out in milkweed collected by the rural schools of Ontario and Quebec, will confirm the indications of pre- liminary experiments that the gutn from maim eed may be useful for blending with synthetic robber.
