Dear Friend: •
I received the cigarettes from you
.and I was very glad to get them, so
I want to thank you very, very much..
We sure appreciate Canadian cigar-
ettes here; that is the only time we
get a good smoke.
We are having nice weather over
here—no snow yet. I was up at Ed-
inburgh, Sebtland, on a 9 -day leave.
They have some snow up there, but
it made it look more like home, and
I
had a wonderful time. Corning back
I took a walk around ,London. I saw
Big l3en and Buckingham Palace and
I was down around St. Paul's Cath-
edral and it is quite a mess around
there. I came home then and I am
on guard duty now, which is. a heck
of a job. I got a few parcels for
Christmas. I got the one that your
Overseas Committee sent fo me which
was very nice. We had a turkey 'din-
ner in the canteen here for Christ-
mas and we crertainly enjoyed it. I
have seen Bob Venus, Charlie Woods,
Charlie Mowbray and John Strong;
but not for„ quite a while, so I don't
know' how theY are getting along,,
Buzz; Curly and Bob Smith are here

The farmer
And His Cows
5- a.
(Contributed)
Letters have appeared in city pa-
pers from time to time suggesting
that the dairy industry is about to
collapse. It is claimed that American
farmers are coming here and buying
cows in thousands: There is a great
deal .of mental energy wasted from
city people giving advice to farmers.
For our part, we are willing for the
farmer to be the captain of his own
soul, even if his captaincy is exercis-
ed for no loftier purpose than selling
a cow, buying a sow, or adding to his
flock of chickens,
If the disaster is to come, it is like-
ly to he somewhat delayed'. This earth
may be struck by a comet but we
shall not skip our Sunday, afternoon
nap on khat account. There- are -3,-
873,000 cows in Canada—we know, we
counted them this morning before
breakfast. We verified aur count by
looking at page 212 Canada Year
Book, for 19.40. This figure is the to-
tal for the year i939. We should
have written "were" instead of "are"
in our penultimate sentence.
If we turn time backward in its
flight and count them for 1932, there
were only 3.591,000. Assuming that
the number is the same in 1941 as it
was in 1939, there are 278,000 more
cows nhw in Canada than there were
1n' 1932. Allowing 13 feet to a COW—
distance
owdistance from the actual point of con-
tact does not permit us to : measure
a cow with°more accuracy—and, 5,280
feet to a mile—we are more ,certain
of the feet to •a mile than to a oW—
we have a total of 9,535 miles of cows.
These placed end . to end marching
like elephants. each holding stoutly to I
the tail .ahead of it, would reach from
Musnich to -well, they would reach'
from Munich to some place. Let us
hope that at the end of the line they
find Hitler—we would sooner see him
counting cows than fighting Greeks.
Despite all this persiflage,,, the fact
is 'that the farmer is an economist.
He has to be. He loses heavily in a
depression. He gets a smaller share
of the total wealth produced;. 'the
others take a bigger piece. He ad-
justs promptly to altered conditions.
It is not a calculated ,move. He has
been at it so long that it has 'become
an instinct. He goes out of the cow
business when farm conditions im-
prove. To tell the truth, he doesn't
like milking cows. He goes back to
it 'again when it becomes more pro-
fitable to milk cows than do other
things.
But, cheer up; there is not the
slightest •cause for alarm. This little
table will bring the smile of reassur-
ance. The exports of dairy cows dur-
ing the last three years ,havve been as
follows: (We have anchored this
statement to a date in the past when
exports were far. greater — to 1929,
when- the farmer, like the city man,
was rich ,or thought he was):
•Exports=Dairy Cows
1929 21,500
1938 7,393
1939 X9;044'
1940' 9,813
We venture the suggestion that the
depreciation of the Canadian dollar
has helped in increasing the sale of
cows in 1940 over.the last two years.
Where is the capitalist who would
not take 10 per. cent on his money
when he gets the chance? Tell us
why the farmer wouldn't take 10 per
cent on his cows? We feel philoso-
phical about the Whole business. We
are coming to the conclusion that the
farmer would do all right if it were
tinily possTte,to leave him alone. The
tear in our eye • is due to the firm
conviction that it will be quite im-
possible to .do so.

November last-, .
The Prime Minister provided the
ever-s1badowing feature when, after
two months' apses,&g, the. House of
Commons returned to its. labors. He
made a realistic speech, not only on
the war situation, but on the' general
external policy of the Government.
Presenting his own estimates for
his Department., of External Affairs,
he provided the ground work, not on-
ly, for discussing the war but also the
general policy of fdreign relations.
This was the first step; the second
one' to be taken immediately will 'be
the introduction of the war appropria-
tion bill.
The Government will ask Parlia-
ment for a huge amount for expendi-
tures this year. The amount Will be
set out when the War Appropriation
Bill is introduced. Mr. King review-
ed the favorable factors in the pro-
gress of the war from the Empire's -
standpoint, but warned the House and
the country that a terrific and bitter
struggle lies ahead of our Empire and
tremendous sacrifices have yet to be
made.

Wednesday, Feb. 19th
Tqday the Leader of the official op-
position got down to the task of scrut-
inizing the War Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Hanson advocated the fornia-
tiori'-of a Government composed of
the best men, Canada can supply, re-
gardless of their political affiliation.
He did not indicate who these men
should be or where they should come
from.
Shortly after the last Federal elec-
tion the Opposition put on a determ-
ined attempt to have a national . Gov-
ernmesat set up. Something of this
character was again in evidence in
Mr. ;Hanson's speech today.
Mr. Hanson was quite critical in
his address. He called the figures glaf

cal"; to have to put up three thou-
sand million dollars in one year was

Just what the war means to the
people of Canada, the costs involved,
the sacrifices it will impose for this
coming year alone, was brought forc-
ibly and intimately home to the Cana-
dian people by the Minister of Fin-
ance 9a his statement to the House,
today.
Counting everything as accurately
as it can be forecast now, war, civil;
federal and provincial outlays •will
amount to some twenty-seven hundred
million dollars. This is nearly half
of the grand aggregate of our nation-
al income from all sources, or the
total of what everyone earns or pro-
duces.
The House.,,was, so to speak, almost
staggered with these figures, although
it should not have been, as intima-
tions of these huge exlienditures have
been Oen from time" to • time. The
war appropriation along• for the con:
ing year will be $1,300,000,000; to this
you must add the $400,000,000 being
spent to repatriate from) Britain, Can-
adian securities held there -so as to
provide dollar credits, and then there
is, of course, the $430,000,000which
will be spent for non -war expenditures
which are provided in the main esti-
mates..

lowed Mr. Hanson. IIe, too, was op-
posed td inflation but he insisted that

Thursday, Feb. 20th
At the outset of today's proceedings
a flareup between the leader of 'the
opposition, the Government and the
Speaker took place. Mr. Hanson want-
ed inforgnation regarding the aircraft
business, but he proceeded not only
to ask questions, but he was under-
taking to state facts. He was immed-
iately called to order for under the
rules a member can ask questions,
but he cannot make a speech in the
question period. The Speaker ruled
him out of order; considerable time
was taken np by the argument that
followed, but Mr. Howe ended it all
When he promised to lay before the
House full information regarding the
whole aircraft industry.
Mr. G een (Con., Vancouver South)"
was the -first speaker and he pointed,
out that the people did not have full
confidence iri this Government and
suggested that a victory cabinet be
appointed, which would have the con-
fidence of the people. However. the
thing lacking in the speech was the
names of those who would fill these
requirements.
Mr. Roebuck (Lib., Toronto) follow-
ed with mild criticism of the Govern-
ment for emphasizing too much the
amount that must be raised for war
purposes. He also, indicated and ridi-
culed the idea that a National Gov-
ernment would, solve all of our prob-
lems.
Gordons Graydon (Con., Peel) sug-
gested that a greater reduction should
be made in the expenditure in the
various u departments and suggested
ep gge
the pegging of all prices.
John Blackmore (Social Credit) de-
nied that. the policies he advocated
stands for inflation. His central idea
was •that where men and materials
are, money can be created to put
them to work and putting them to
work will increase the national in-
come, and make available more mon-
ey for taxation revenue and there
should be no rise in price levels so
long as there is adequacy, in place of
scarcity of supply.
Further discussion included speech-
es by Norman Jacques, S.C., Mr: Ad-
amson; Cont.; Mr. Fraser, Con., and
Mr. Maclneis, C.C.F. It was interest-
ing when the C.C.F. members, and t ,e
Social Credit members started an ex-
change of opinions on their respec-
tive monetary schemes.

Friday, Feb. 21st
The talk in many places and the ad-
vocacy in several newspapers of a
change in the organization of the
Government, brought from Jean. Fran-
cois Pouliot to a terrific onslaught in
the House of Commons today. He
was speaking on the War Appropria-
tion Bili. The- amount of this bill is
large and the lattitpde of discussion
allowed on it .is also large. The lang-
uage used by the member was un-
meapured and most of the time his
temper and tone were most violent.
He ventilated his suspicions, without
restraint, biting right and left in re-
ference to alleged intrigue. Buccan-
eers, scoundrels and ,pirates were the
terms used against some who' ar,,e no
doubt trying for selfish purposes to
tilitlerInine the Government. Mr. 'Poul-
iot praised some of the Cabinet Min-
isters, but had- no kind word to say

while Ire did not involve these min-
' isters in any intrigue against the
Prime Minister, be did intimate that
there were those in these departmsents
who were definitely in the alleged
plot that he referred to.
Victor Sifton, .Master General- of
the Ordinance, and his newspapers
were particularly singled out for .at-
tack. Mr. Pouliot was perhaps too
bitter in his -attack; nevertheless, the
fact remainsthat Soneoftris
import-
ant papers of this country realty snap
their fingers im, the face of the people
whose duty it is to select their gov-
ern'm'ent. They ignore entirely the
views', of the people and no doubt re-
sort. to all sort of tactics to get the,
ones in office whom they are endeav-
orirfg to promote, and it is really high
time that this was pointed out to the
people of this country. Mr. Ralston
vigorously defended himself and said
that he had always been, loy'a.i to his
chief in office and out of it. He also
defended those in bis department.
Mr. Crerar was not in the Mouse,
but Mr. Howe just smiled. good na-
turedly during the whole discussion.
He is the typo of man who realizes
he has a tremendous ;lob to do and is
not going to waste time in worrying
about a bit of critihism. „
A great deal of time was taken in-
to Hansard needlessly. but insisted(
upon the wb.ole record), of the advanc-

plants and additions, to plants for the
production of war materials.
Against there was the plea for a

Provinces. Mr. Bowe told. the B. 0.
members that the Governmenr''was
trying to give the Provinces what.
they coals handle the most economic-
ally. For instance, in B. C. it would
require all stt,el taken Wesit Yana
then brought back again. He said all.
these matters had been c rofu

sidered. •
It is apparent.' • that ;the aeroplane
production is not making the progress
it should.. All information, will,be la#il
on the table regarding this problem.
At least, as much as Great Britain
will allow to be given to the-pub/ie.
This has been a. controversial 'ques-
tion and this, information is awaited
with interest.
