• Merry Cizr4trnaq
Another Christmaa has come, an-
other. War Christmjs too. A year
ago, when we extended this old, old
wish, We hoped that the war would
be behind u before another Christ-
mas dawned.
• That hope was not fulfilled, but
fulflment is now plainly in sight,
and for that reason this Christmas
will be a brighter and a happier one
for many more people.,
But there are many Canadian
homes to which Christmas will nev-
er be gitte the same again. Even to
these, however, there must come a
sense of happiness. A knowledge
that theirs have made it, by their
sacrifice, possible for others to look
forward with happiness to this day
of all days:
• And so The Expositor extends the
wish for a Merry Christmas to all.

No Profiteering In Canada
Recent figures published by the
Bank of Canada have punctured the
legend, invented by the C.C.F., but
too often repeated by others, that big
business in Canada is making huge
• profits out a the war.
• These figures of the Bank examine
the detailed business of 665 compan-
ies across Canada in all lines of busP
mess, arid briefly, they .show the fol-
lowing facts: •
• Last year these companies earned
net operating profits of 799 million
dollars, compared to 488 millions
earned inl 1939. At first glance it
would appear that these companies
were rolling in wealth. And so they
• would be if the Government tax col–
lectors had not put in an appearance.
But, however, by the time the Gov-
ernment demands had been met the
companies found they had only 292
millions left with which to pay divi-
dends to their stockholders.
In 1943 this amount, *as actually
less than the total of 1313 millions
earned in 1942. So sharply have re-
turns to shareholders shrunk in the
past few years Of the war, that by
• 1943 they, were only slightly larger
than in 1939, when they totalled 288
millions as compared to 292 millions
last year. -
In fact when it comes to the actual
dividends received by shareholders,
the amount was only 260 millions
last year, compared to 288 millions
in 1939. In addition, these company
dividends are now heavily taxed,
which they were trot in, 1939. They
are taxed even though the com-
panies' profits have 'already been
taxed by the levies placed on the, cor-
porations.
• As a result of war taxes, there-
fore, it is very clear that there has
been no profiteering by any indus-
trial company in Canada, big or
small, and just as clear that share-
holders and investors in these com-
panies are much wore off than they
were before the war.
• ,
Rather Odd
It is rather odd that the German
V-1 and V-2 bombs which have •
been levelling BritiSh homes, ripping,
whole buildings apart and-onnashing
though concrete' ,walls, have met
their match in a familiar but fragile
household article—the egg.
At least, we were so informed a
few, days ago by' Walton Cole, News
Manager of Reuter, . the British
News Agency, who, told members of
the Vnion League Club, that the egg,
presumably because of its stream-
lined shape,. was Able to withstand
bolnb blasts which wreck whole in-
teriors a, English homes.

Now we,,learn that 'the,'Post•twar
standard will- consist of a five-hour
day alid-80-hour weeks. Won't we
be a happy world then?
Of course that only applies to On-
tario. Other countries have still a
long,long way to go. Take Japan
forinstance.
The Federal Coinmunications Com-
raissidri, it wa§ announced last week
by the Associated Press, had inter-
cepted a broadcast from the Japan-
ese News Agency Damei,, which said
that ih an effort to increase war
goods production, Japanese workers
at a Tokyo war plant have pledged
to work 1081/2 hours weekly—from
7.30 a.m. to 11 p.m., ,seven days a
week.
We must admit that that really is
a week's work.
Better Clothing Material
Far reaching developments in the
chemical treatment of clothing ma-
terials which will have a hitherto un-
dreamed effect on the textile indus-
try, were recently announced by a
chemical company.
As a result of the research work
that has been carried on with the
chemical treatment of natural fibres,
this company claims, 'accdrding to
Scientific American, that, its accom-
plishment§ already achieved to date
Include:
• Treatment of wool so that it will
not shrink.
Treatment of both cotton and wool
• so that the wearing qualities of these
fabrics will be doubled.
Treatment of serges to eliminate
the shine from the cloth.
Treatment of wool so that it creas-
es durably under steam •and heat.
' Thus trousers of suits that are press-
ed will retain the crease even. in a
rain and will not wrinkle when pack-
ed into a suitcase.
Treatment of fibres so they will
not slip. This means that stockings
will not run, nor will seams pull out.
It is a happy day' to look forward
to, but we see one or two flies in the
• ointment. The man, who thinks that
with this new processed cloth; a good
suit, of defiles. will bp, as good and as
snappy looking' twenty years after
its 'purchase:' as on the first clay he
donned it,,, is going to ,he sadly dis-
appointed; we are afraid.
If, as and when, that day conies, 7
the clothing manufacturers will un-
doubtedly follow the plan of the
manufacturers of .autornobiles. Ev-
ery year or two, they will so radical-
ly change the clothing- styles„ • that
while a suit of clothes may still have •
• twenty years wear in it; the style
will be as outdated as 'a Model T Ford..
• Not Much 'Chance
Ever since the robot bombing of
°Britain there.has been a large ques-
tion' mark as to whether or not the
Germans could successfully bomb
American cities -on the Eastern
coast. In fact, rmany did, at one
time, issue a threat to do just that.
But the robot bombs have not yet
landed oh American soil or destroy-
-ed American- cities. Nor are they
likely to.
The former president of the Amer.=
ican Rocket Society says it would
take a 5,000,000 -pound projectile to
carry 2,090 pounds_ of explosive from
Germany to the United States, and
that the launching charge would do
100 times the damage fo the Father!!
land than the rocket would be likely
to 'Canse'in Anterica.
Of course the robot bombs might
be launched from submarines, but
then again, the Germans have not
enough submarines left to make the
attempt worth while. We are afraid
that Hitler's intuition is off the beam
again.

a very Scientific manner f*, as ban

himself to terrorize WaM. aid
:men, and there o•nly eelnained
young and the naiddle-aged pleat
mein, one of whom Sank offered to
fight for the posseeskih of hie iewe
els. His challenge, was promptly ac-
cepted by the man wha'happened, to
possess a streng sense of humour,
and probably saw a chance Pf saving
his belongings in the ,offer. He had
been speedily worsted, but Carstares
was so pleased with a particularly
neat thrust which he ha:de-executed,
that he forwent half the booty, ,and
the pair of them divided the con-
tents of the jewel -box by the road-
side, the sporting gentleman keeping
his most valued belongingand giv-
ing Jaclethe 'surplus. They parted on
the very best of terms, and -all Car -
stares got out of the episode was a
little sword practice and a few trin-
kets-. •
When May came he was patrolling
the west side of Sussex, beyond Mid-
hurst, 'not because he thought it a
profitable part, but because be knew
and loved the country. One late af-
ternoon towards the end of the month
he rode gaily into one of the !Mean
villages 'that nestle amongst the
Downs. and made his way down the
quaint ;nein street to the George Inn,
where' heedeew rein and dismounted.
At his call an aged hostler hobbled
out of a side door, chewing an inevit-
able straw, and after eyeing the new-
comer and his steed for an 'apprech
able length of time, evidently decided
that they were worthy 'of his atten
tion, for 'he came forward, remarking
that it had been a, pleasant day.
Carstares egreed with him, and vol-
unteered the information that it would
be another 'fine day tomorrow, if the
sunset were to be trusted. To this
the ostler replied that he, for one,
never trusted ,to no red sunsets, and
added darkly that there warn't noth-
ing so deceitful to his manner o'
thinking. He'd' known it be such a
red sunset as never was, and yet be
a -pouring with ram all next day . . .
Should he take the mare?
Carstares shook his head.
"NO, I thank you. 1 remain here
but a few moments. I doubt she's
thirsty though—eh, Jenny?"
"Water, sir?"
"For her, yes. For :myself I fancy
a tankard of your home -brewed ale.
Stand, Jenny!" He turned away and
walked up the steps to the inn door.
"Be you a -going to leave her there,
sir -a -standing all by' herself?" inquir-
ed the man, surprised.
"Why, yes! She's docile enough."
"Well! Seeres to me a risky thing
to leave a ,hoss—and a skittish hoes
at that—a-standing loose in the, road.
Ye won't be tying her to a post, riaas-
'ter?"
Carstares leaned his lams on the
balustrade, and looked down at them.
"I will not She'd be very hurt at
such treatment, wouldn't you, lass?"
Jenny tossed her head playfully, as
if. in agreement, and the hostler
scratched his head, looking from her
to my lord:
"Annosa seems as if She un-
derstands what you be a -saying to
her, sir!"
"Of course she understands! Don't
tell you 'Lis a clever little lady?- If
I call her now she'll came up these
steps_ to me, and not all the hostlers
in Christendom could stop her."
"Don't'ee go for to do it, sir!" urg-
ed the old man, backing. "She must
be uncommoti fond o' ye?"
"She'd be a deal fonder of yoa if
you'd fetch her a drink," hinted Jack
broadly.
"Aye,. sir! I be a -going this werry
inetant!" And with many an eexio:us
glance over his shoulder at the per-
fectly quiet mare, he disappeared
through an open doorway into the
yard.
When Caretares, tankard of ale in
hand, emerged from the inn and sat
himself down on one of the benches
that stood against the wall, the mare
was drinking thirstily'from a buCket
which the ancient one- held for her,
he remarked at le-ngth, after a careful

Carstares nodded pleasantly, and'
surveyed Jenny through 'half -shut
eyes.
"I think so every time I look at
her," he saick •
"I should think she could get a bit
of a pace on. her, eir? Mebbe ye've
tried her. racing?" •
"No, she wasn't brought tip to that.

Carsterese remounted, bedded 'tare4
well to the hostler, and Bode
on doyen the Street, soon breach-
ing off to the right into a ooiat gqs,
sex lane, where he trotted hetween
new/en he,dges, sweet with 'blessem
and with May, and placid Beide roll-
ing away on either side, upwards un-
til they merged into the undulating
hills, barely discernible in the gloom,
that are the, downs. It was a won-
derfully calm evening, with only a
gentle west wind blowing, and the
moon already shining faintly in the
dark sky. There was nothing beyond
the sound of the mare's hoofs to break
the beautiful ;stillness of It all.
He rode for some way without
meeting a soul, and when at the end
of an hour s,atneon.e did ehanpe along
the road it was .ortly a 'laborer re-
naming home to his supper after., a
long day in the fields. John bade him
a ,cheery good evening and Watched
him pass on down the road liumnring.
After that he met no one. He rode
easily along (or miles, into the fast -
gathering darknees. He was frown-
ing as he rode, thinking.
Curiously 'enough, it was on his
penniless days in • kranee , that his
mind dwelt this evening. He had
resolutely thrust that dark time be-
hind' him, determined to forget it,
but there were still days when, try
as, he might, he could not prevent his
thoughts flying back to it., °
With clenched teeth he recalled the
days when he, the son of an Earl,
had taught fencing in Paris for a liv-
ing . . . Suddenly he laughed harsh-
ly, and at the unusual sound the mare
Pricked 'up her ears and sidled un-
easily across the road. For once no
notice was taken of her, and she
qUickenechier pace with a flighty toes
of ,her head. . . .
Heethaught how he; the extravagant
John, had' pinched and scraped and
saved rather than go under; how he
had lived in one of the poorer quar-
ters of the city, alone, without friends
Then cynically now,\he reviewed the
time when he had taken to drinking,
heavily arid .systematically, and had
succeeded ih pulling himself up. at
the very brink of the ' pit he saw
yawning before him.
Next the flews of his mother's death
. . . John passed over that quickly.
Even now the thought of it had the
Power. of rousing in him all the old
misery and impotent resentment.
His mind :sped on to his Italian
days. • On his savings he had tray.el-
led to Florence, and from there he
went gradually south, picking up all
the latest arts and 'subtleties of fence
on the way.
The change of scene and of people
did much to restore his spirits. His
devil-may-care wens peeped out again;
he started to gamble on the little
money he had left. For once Fortune
proved kind; heedoubled and trebled
and quadrupled ,the Contents of 'his
purse. Then it was that he met Jim
Saner, whom he engaged as his 'serv-
ant. This was the first friend since
he had left Eegland Together they

playing at hide-and-seek in. and out

erthelese, Jack fastened his mask ov-
er his face with quick, deft fin,gers„
and ,pulled his het well over his eyes..
His ears told him that the vehicle,
whatever it'veas, was 'corning toward&
him, so he drew into the side of the'
road, and taking a pistol from its hol-
ster, sat waiting, his eyes on the bend
in the -road.
Nearer and nearer came the hors-
es, until the leader swung round the
corner. Carstares saw that it was an
ordinary travelling Chariot, and lev-
elled his pistol.
"Halt, or I fire!" He had to re-
peat 'the command before it was
heard, arid to ride out from the sha-
dow of the hedge.
The chariot drew up and the coach-
man leaned •over the side to see who
it was bidding them to stop in so
peremptory a manner.
"What d'ye want? Who are ye?
Is there aught amiss?" he cried teen
ily, and found himself staring at a,
long -nosed pistol.
Throw down your arms!"
"I ain't got none, blast ye!"
"On your honor?" Jack dismount-
ed.
"Ay! WiSh I had, and I'd see ye
darane-d afore I'd throw 'em clovni!"
At this moment the door of the '
.coach opened ,and a gentleman leapt
lightly down on to the rOad. He was
big and Foose-limbed as far as. Car-.
Stares could. see, and carried ,himself
with an easy grace.
My lord presented 'his PiAol.
"Stand!" he ordered gruffly.

Postwar farm labor policies and the
problem of •adequate farm laber sup-
ply for 1945 were main points of dis-
cussion at the second Annual Domiri-
loaPronincial Farm Labor Confer-
ence, which ended in Ottawa Friday
night. This conference followed the
Dominion-Proyincial meetings earlier
In the week,' on problems of agricul-
ture.
The two-day meetings on farm labor
were attended 'by Provincial Directors
of Farm, Labor Programs, Regional
Agricultural Advisors, and officials of
the Dominion Labor Department. A.
MacNamara, Director of National Se-
lective Service, addressed' the open-
eng meeting.
Dis'cusyng the farm labor situation
in 1944, provincial officials pointed out
thentaportance to farm production of
the assistance given by civilian labor
and members of tile Armed Forces.
They stressed the fact that the ser-
• vices of meen.bers of the Armed Forc-
es •op compassionate- leave and is

services of the farmers and other
eiviliane moved long distances by the
Department of Labor through arrange-
ment with the railwaYs, had without
n doubt resulted in a much greater
farm production than could possibly
have been the case otherwise.
The provincial representatives from
all nine provinces •eepressed the hope'
that the Dominien-Provincial Farm
Labor Agreements would again be
