When that tremendous docu- ment is made public, the present Liberal administration will have taomething to show for its work of the past four years, a new program to offer for the future. Until that report comes out, then, expect little acivity in federal Lib- eral circles, few pronouncements coming forth from Parliament Hill. BLOODLESS CONQUEST DES- TINED TO DIVIDE WORLD: At the recent two-week symposium on world affairs under the sponsorship e>f the 'University of Virginia, ane of the sixty speakers, Brue Hopper, profetsor of government at Har- vard University, said that the world apparently is going through a stage of transition involving ab- sorption of small nations by large states. Be went on to say that Reichs- fuehrer Adolf Hitler's program of bloodless conquest, if carried to its logical end, would result in a re - division of the earth into five zones of Military Power, The process is apparently destined to divide the world into the following regions: 1. Dr1tish-french; 2, A German Mittel Europe, including Italy as a vassal, with small satellite nations con- trolled from Vienna or Berlin in foreign relations and commerce, with all pursuing an antl-Semetic volley; 3. The Soviet Union, reach- ing across the nomadlands to West- ern China; 4. Japan and coastal China; 5, The United States, with. Canada within its zone of defence. "Such an alignment," he says, "would leave Africa, Latin Amer- ica, Western Asia and India open to new imperialism." JAPAN IN CHINA: The Chinese war entered its third year early this month and it has been expres- sed that the"Japanese Army has' evade itself largely self sufficient on Chinese soil. The general feeling was that Ja- van' had overburdened Herself ivith acquisition of Chinese properties suck as mines and factories and that her adventure in China has been au expensive one, but those feelings have faded somewhat in observing the last two years of the steadily progressive penetration. The plans Japan acquired are now being inexpensively run by 'forced labor and the financial drain has not had the effect first expect- ed by competent observers in China. The war is generally estim- ated to have cost between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 lives, counting sold- iers and civilians killed directly in bombings, and civilians who died as result of floods and disease indir- ectly caused by war. HE WEEK'S QUESTION: is the Dominion's export trade showing an increase or a decrease for this year? Answer: An increase! A /statement of Canada's export trade for the first six months of the new current year shows an increase of 71,000,000. The value of Canada's exports to the end of June this year :was $462,000,000, How to Prduce Clean Farm ' l' ilk EXdlude Ccntanaahsation From All Sides — Attention Should Be Paid To Stable, Arni iaals, Utensils In the illustrated farmers' bul- letin, "Producing Clean Milk" just iesued•by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, the author, Dr. A. G. Lochhead, Dominion Agricultural -Bacteriologist, states that to pro- duce the highest grade of milk, con- tamination from all sides must na- turalIy be excluded as far as pox- sable. Only when care is paid to stable, animals, utensils, and the method used by the milker can the cleanest milk be drawn. A produc- er intent upon cleaning up his milk supply can best commence by en- suring that his pails are clean and etcalded and that the chance of dirt falling from the cow into the pail i, reduced to a minimum. While other sources of bacteria terve to add to the germ -content of the milk, yet in comparison with the chief sources, namely badly or Carelessly cleaned pails and dirt from the cow, they are of minor Importance and have undoubtedly been given too much emphasis in the past. — -- For ten years Frank Jenkins, a Briton, and his school -teacher fi- ancee, Helen Proctor, of Alberto., exchanged love letters.

The pretty little animal, only a few hours old and not much bigger than the pretty. head of the excited young lady who found him, is the offspring of a mule deer, a type of game that roams free and unmolested in the Banff area. It is the doe's natural habit to hide her young during the day, ministering to it only at night.—Canadian Pacific Photo. N TARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER FISH TRADED FOR BUFFALO Ontarilo sportsmen stand to lose more than they gain from those of Alberta under a recent trade ar- rangement by the Federal Depart- ment of Game and Fisheries. On- tario will swap 300 of her famous fighting smallmouth black bass for 25 Albertan buffalo on the hoof in the exchange agreement. The bass will be brought to the Dominion fish hatcheries at Banff and Waterton -Lakes in Alberta for spawning purposes. Their off- spring will provide thrilling sport for anglers in the lakes and streams of the ,western province. The bass, eacl-i"" weighing about three pounds.,will be -loaded at Spanish, Ont., in the Georgian Bay district. Ontario sportsmen, on the other hand, will get no chance of sport in shooting the game the province receives in the trade. The buffalo will be shipped to the Burwash Game Preserve in Northern On- tario and there turned loose in lush parklands -35,000 acres of which has been created a buffalo reserve.

Edward A. Fitzroy-, Speaker, of the British House of Commons, it carries new weight. Said the Speaker the other day: "It is much better, when a mem- ber resumes his seat after speak- ing, that the House should have the feeling that he ought to have gone on a little longer instead of won- dering why. he did not stop soon. er-" A good pointer that for all public speakers • in legislative balls, the platform and the pulpit, No Virtue In Length As we have remarked, there is nothing new about it, but it is fair- ly obvious that not a few of our public speakers, official or other- wise, have either never heard the sage advice or, hearings have never learned its wisdom. When it comes to u''atery it is well to remember that there is no virtue in length op utterance. Mul- tiplicity of words often indicates a scarcity of thought. Appetite Is Man's Enemy Distinguished Doctor Says A Day Will Come When We'll Be Sorry For Not Having Eaten The Right Foods An American's appetite is his worst enemy, believes Dr. Victor Heiser, eminent U.

"But the day will come. when people will realize thy are what they eat and that their health depends•'on their food. intake." • 4afioesn't Fill • Need" Dr. Geiser said 'that hunger pangs are "simply the call •of nat- ure for something needed by the system. "But instead 'of eating well -bah anted rations to provide that need, a man goes out and fills up on meat and potatoes. That satisfies the hunger, but it doesn't fill the need.". Greatest Drought. In, 17 Centuries Predicted for 1966—Last One Of Equal Magnitude Happen- ed During Fa1.1 of Roman Empire, Geological Expert Declares A prediction the greatest drought in 1.7 centuries would Como 27 years hence is made by Ilalbert P. Gillette, geologist and meteorology research. He said, he found evidence in the rocks there was a 1701 -year rainfall cycle, having sub -cycles of 567 and 189 years. 1 -le said the year 1966 would be the bottom of al] three cycles and should produce a drought compar- able to the only other major oecur- ren.ce of its kind in written his- tory, in the year 265 A.D., "about when the Roman Empire began to crumble and when wars in china were chronic." - Gillette's prediction was based on a study of varves -layers of sedi- ment deposited in seas or lakes by the annual runoff o streams. Some of the varve computations' went back to 2300 B.C., and can be fol- lowed for "millions of years." The maximum rainfall periods of the 17 -century cycle were "';oto -table, tor their association with great per- iods of prosperity."

Just now Ontario -grown raspberries are plen- tiful and can be obtained at a Price at which it is profitable for the housewife to buy them for preserv- ing or canning or for making jam —and pure homemade raspberry jam or preserves, made from Can- adian -grown berries — is incompar- ably good. Cherries from different parts of British Columbia are available in substantial quantities, and Ontario cherries are well started. The total annual crop produced in B.C. is in the neighborhood of 2,000,000 lb. Raspberries in abundance are ob- tainable tiiroukhout Canada. A var- iety of vegetables, several of which are excellent if they are canned when fresh, can be bought compar- atively cheaply. Home canned fruit - and vegetables and home prepared' pickxles are good to have in the winter months, when fresh Canad- ian grown products cannot be bought.. In My Grandmother's .

File Growing An insight into the workings of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police identification bureau at Ottawa was given delegates to the Chief Constables' Association convention this year, by Inspector H. R. Btuch- 'ers of the criminal investigation branch of the R,C.M.P- In his paper on "Single Finger Prints" Inspector Butchers outlin- ed the mehtod used by his depart- ment to file and classify prints. Since 1910, 701,287 sets of impres- sions have been received, 95,182 of which were identified with prev- iously registered finger prints, he said. In the past year, 54,375 sots of prints were received, of which 12,- 505 were identified, the inspector added. The files are available for all police departments, he added. In concluding his remarks, in- spector Butchers gave the case his- tory of several crimes, solved by finger prints from the recent re- cords of Canadian cities.

VALUE OF ORCHARDS Ontario farmers can help them- selves to better times by growing more and better fruit.

THE ULTRA -LOYAL If Canadians are only going to listen to people who pat Britain, or Canada on the back and fay nice things about the Empire, they will never be able to develop a healthy, unbiased outlook. If our loyalty to Britain cannot stand some criticism of British rule, then it is a weak sort of loyalty indeed. And if we are not to be allowed to listen to criticism of Britain, does this not imply a lack of confidence in Brit- ish institutions being able to with- stand criticism? — Windsor Star.

Of course due allowance must be made for differences between British and Canadian character, and temperament. Judging from the showing, however, when the King and Queen arrived back in England, R. K. Carnegie, Canadian Press staff writer, found that Lon- don crowds have volume which de- velops into a great roar in which no individual voices are disting- uishable. Same Depth of Affection There was one continuous roar that day from Waterloo Station to Buckingham Palace. But for wide, open-mouthed cheering, particularly such as is furnished by those lusty -lunged people out on the Prairies, the Can- adians can show the way to any London crowd of similar size. As for depths of affection and loyalty, that deeper emotion that Iles behind the cheers, there's no difference between that of England or Canada.
