If the United States needs to step up the -volume of its milk supply — and its objective is to have more milk products to send to Britain — then our need is even greater. The Old Land looks to this Dominion for major poxtions of the powdered milk and cheese which are such important items of British diet. While the word has Cone out that we have assured the shipment of cheese which Britain asks of us this year, it Is known that she will take almost as much as we can produce, and the mere attainment of the original objective should not be the signal for slack- ening off in our effort. There has, perhaps, been too much of an impression that hens and cows are producers of eggs and milk with a strictly limited capactiy. Modern scientific agri- culture knows that there are ways of increasing production, through proper feeding and care, and it is the patriotic thing today to get the most out of these farm ani- mals. —Windsor Daily Star. —v— • WILL STRIKE AT RIGHT TIME Have Fe got a design for vic- tory?

When Spain was threatening England with invasion, Queen Elizabeth bought the Ark Raleigh — design- ed for Sir Nt alter Raleigh's fur- ther adventures to the New World —and renamed her the Ark Royal. During the Armada campaign she was the flagship of the Lord High Admiral. The Elizabethan Ark Royal was s ship of 800 tons, mounting fifty- five guns, and with a complement of 400 men. The Queen bought her for £5,000. Money -well given, as the Lord High Admiral agreed. The present Ark Royal, completed less than a year before the out- break of the war, is a vessel of 22,000 tons, with a speed of nearly thirty-two knots, She carries silty aircraft, and nearly 1,600 officers and men. —Windsor Star. —v— SCREWY PARSONS It le strange to find the names of such men as Dr. Raymond Fos- dick and Dr. John Haynes Holmes among the 25,000 signers of a peti- tion urging Pres.

They may or may not have a deer but at least they will have had. a good time is the outdoors at a good season of the year. I think more hunters go after our Virginia deer than go after any other big game animal.

They are seldom found in the deep woods. There is an interesting re- lation here. In the days when On- tario was covered with heavy tim- ber there were not many deer. .As cutting and fire did its work the deer moved in and increased 'greatly, spreading into northern Ontario where they were not known in the early days. Genie laws, of course, had hardly been thought of and so the first in- crease of deer were killed off. Greater respect for the laws and better laws came about and the deer started to increase again. But another factor began to -operate We are developing many .forest in Ontario and some of • these are coming to the age when they are not suitable for deer In'- other words the deer live on the `Under- brush and the small trees.

THE WAR - WEEK . -- Cormentary on Current Events Significant Words Spoken Recently y Allied a d Axis War Le dens w=• Stalin contested Russia today with that of the October revolution when Russia had been stripped of "the Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia the Urals, Siberia and the Far East" and had neither Allies, army nor arms and lacked bread and clothing. "Little food, no shoes, terrible inefficiency, steady progress, great hope." In these few words, young American photographer summed up Russia as she saw it ten years ago. Today, Premier Stalin said, Rus- sia has "no serious shortage eith- er in food, arms or clothing, while her reserves of manpower aro in- exhaustible." And she has an army, navy, Allies and "the sym- pathy and support of all peoples of Europe wino have fallen under the yoke of Fascist tyranny." .In the face of this, he declared, the Nazis face sure disaster. "Germany is bleeding to death, her resources giving out," Stalin said. "The German invaders are strain- ing their last forces. There is no doubt that Germany cannot sus- tain such a. strain for any long time. Another few months, another half-year, one year maybe and Hitierite Germany must burst un- der the weight of her own crines." The Soviet dictator made no ef- fort to hide the peril confronting the nation. He spoke of grievous losses -1,748,000 •casualties in kill- ed, wounded and missing — but asserted. that German losses were much greater — 4,500,00. (Nazi spokesmen have put Soviet losses at 4,000,000, their own at 500,000; neutral sources have estimated 3,- 000,000 Russian casualties, 2,000,- 000 German.) He admitted the de- struction of huge quantities of Sov- iet material, the forced abandon• ment of rich territories from the Baltic shore to the flat expanse of the Ukraine. Yet, he held, the Red Army had smashed the alleged Nazi notion that the U. S. S. R. could be defeat- ed in six weeks. "Temporary" Sov- iet setbacks, he declared, would be followed by ultimate victory. Winter weather, the weight of Rus- sian resources, the proletariat's ac- celerated output of munitions, dis- content in occupied Europe and Germany, powerful aid from abroad —these he cited as factors that would spell the enemy defeat. Hitler Speaks A little over a year ago Hitler boasted that he would dictate peace terms to Britain in Bucking- ham Palace on August 5, 1940. Five months ago he said that be would take Moscow within three weeks of the beginning of Germany's at- tack on Russia. In his Munich beer hall annivers- ary speech, Hitler still rages but no longer boasts, yet it was only a year ago that he launched his battle of the Altantic that was to be the end. Hitler defied Britain to attempt an invasion of the West and de- clared his armies could defend Germany and all of Europe despite American "threats and plans for gigantic armaments." "I have commanded German ships, whenever they see Ameri- cans, not to shoot thereupon but to defend themselves as soon as they are attacked," thus Hitler lied. The record of.- his U-boats alone refuteg this lie as effectively as the self-defense that Germany made against the "attacks" of Aus- tria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Den- mark, Norway,' Holland, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia. He claimed passionately that the German people had a right to live and to battle for life, Had Hitler allowed the German people to be content to live would it now be necessary for them to battle for life? GOEBBELS SPEAKS Germany's Propaganda Minister Goebbels wrote in a magazine ar- ticle: "The Axis powers are really fighting for bare existence, and the worries and distress which we all must bear in the war would pale in the face of the inferno which would await us if we were to lose." He told the German people "not to ask when victory will come, but rather to see that it comes." Picturing the future, he said, "if CHURCHILL SPEAKS Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill stated recently that "the war which Hitler began by invading Poland and which now engulfs the European Continent and has bro- ken into the northeast of Africa., may well engulf the greater part of Asia—nay it may soon spread to the remaining fourth of the globe." If war should spread further, and break out between Japan and the United States, "Britain will de- clare war on Japan within the hour," Mr. Churchill stated. A year ago Britons were the sole champions of freeom in arms; they were ill -armed and very much out- numbered in the air. But today the British air force Is at least equal In size and number not to speak of quality, to German air power. Now as was not the case a year ago, a large part of the United States Navy is constantly in action "against the common foe." Soon American merchant ships may be carrying supplies to the shores of Great Britain. Now the Russians are inflicting "frightful injury on the Germans whose armies lie on the barren steppes exposed to the approach- ing severities of the Russian Win- ter." Britain's Finances "A year ago," Mr. Churchill said, "Britain did not know where to turn for a dollar. All we could do at that time was to place orders in the United States without being `able to see our way through." The financial situation was met by the passage of the lease -lend el act which Mr. Churchill termed, -:`h without question the most unsor- did act in the whole of recorded history." He hoped never again to hear the taunt that "money is '.:the ruling power in the hearts and thoughts of the American democ- racy." Now, as in contrast to a year e ago, Great Britain's Navy is in a position "to stand with the United States against Japan." Mr. Chur- chill said: 'Owing to the effective help we are getting from the United States in the Atlantic, owing to the sink - ' ink' Ing of the Bismarck, owing to the completion of our splendid new battleships and aircraft carriers of the largest size, I a.m. able to go further an announce to you here dot;*,e now feel ourselves strong enough to. provide a powerful naval force of heavy ships with its nec- essary aneiliiarY vessels for ser- • vicess if need in the Indian and Pacific Oceans." In the last four months British 'shipping losses have totalled less than. 750,000 tons' as compared with a total of 2,000,000 lost during the previous four months. Mr. Churchill stated that "Bre tain's grain harvest this year had .been 50 per cent 'greater than in 1939" and that coal stocks in Bri- tain were "between 2,000,000 and 8,000,000 tons larger than a Year ago." Speaking of enemy shipping losses Mr. Churchill said that in the last four months almost 1,000,- 000 tons of Axis shipping had been sent to the bottom. "In the Medi- terranean the enemy's losses have been particularly severe. There is evidence he has found it difficult to reinforce or even supply his armies on African shores." "We are told," said Mr. Churchill, "from many quarters that we.must soon expect hat is called a peace offensive from Berlin. "We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our Russian allies, and to the government and people of the United States to make it absolutely clear that whether we are support- ed or alone, however long and hard the toil may be, the British nation and His Majesty's government at the head of the nation, in intimate concert with the governments of the great dominions, will never en- ter into any negotiations with Hit- ler or with any party in Germany which represents the Nazi regime. "In that resolve we're sure that the ancient city of London will be with us to the hilt and to the end." STALIN SPEAKS Premier Joepli Stalin spoke to his people on the 24th anniversary of the Bolshevick revolution. LIFE'S LIKE THAT lets tel3v 1 ( e.ed b1J0...eild.t.d Nov.
