The making of the world is not being sdone in the eminently delightful cli- mate and eminently comfortable sur- setindingsof that Pacific city. it is Jotting done amid the ruins of Berlin and 'Vienna. Sonte Canadian troops Wave been assigned to take part in bist they may well arrive ton late. That the remaking is being done almost entirely by the Russians should surprise no one. ' They know Sia what pattern they ,want to remake A; nobody else seems to. In those iportiions of Germany where the Red artily iia not in control there has been since the Doenitz surrender a ecomplete 'power vacuum, which if it ;,should continue would lead inevitab- ly.' to the re-establishment of,..some •#sod of German authority—the last ind of authority which ought to he permitted anywhere on the continent or Europe for the next fifty years. Sheer nature abhors a vacuum in• re - expect of 'political power as in respect .pt anything else; men cannot live to- slather without somebody to declare l2ze terms on which they shall do so.

That the United Nations have fail- ae& completely 'to agree upon and to oet about the establishment of thin new ruler is .now abundantly , clear. The failure is tragic but not fatal. There remains the alternative of -each 'separate nation. of the Big *Three, with France added, -constitut- ing its own authority in the sphere of Germany assigned to it. That and that' alone will prevent the immedi- ate resurgence ofa purely German authority wherever no other author- ity in established.

In fact, Mr. Ilsley indicated that the tax n4001040 ietioms which have now been made will help the Prices Board to achieve the objectives of having consumer goods reappear for sale at 1941 prices, If this objective is gen- erally attained, the price and ' wage ceiling .programme will have made a very• great contribution to successful post-war reconstruction. }larger;, afiis t<ila °a rexun ale strcii Tlig Tax Reductions (Winnipeg Free Press) The relaxation of wartime controls has begun. The controls were impos- . ed to divert materials and manpower, to war purposes, to check inflation and to ensure that essential. 'supplies were distributed equitably among civl-lian.,consumers. The controls were reinforced by special taxes. The Government has emphasized all along Etat the controls and special taxes will be removed just as quickly as (hese necessities"disappear. MrJ Ilsley's announcement carries out this policy. Priority is given to measures which will help to increase housing accommodation, ,oto the con- version of factories which may now be released for civilian output, and to Faroviding opportunities of employ - =eat to rettrned. men and War -Work- ers in expanded production of house- hold: articles'and appliances for which there is a 'large, ' pent-up demand. 4 nstruction of housing, Milch has gegen one of the outstanding civilian Otortages of the war, will be immedi- ately facilitated by the removal of the eight per cent sales tax on build- ing -materials.

(Saturday Night) We go to press too early to com- ment upon Mr. Bracken's "platform" for the Progressive Conservative par- ty' for' the 1945 elections, but it is hardly likely, in view of the fact that he has practically no candidates, in French Canada, that it can omit some reference to the method of raising the Canadian land forces for service in the Pacific war. His newspaper supporters throughqut English-speak- ing 'Canada are vehemently upbraid- ing the King Government for relying entirely upon voluntary enlistment for, this; service, , and are calling for that "equality of sacrifice" which can come only`with the principle of con- scription. Mr: Bracken has a fairly free hand in this matter. He heads what pur- ports to •be a new party, and is therefore unrestrained ` by the past declarations' of Dr. Manion aa leader of a party - which was merely .Con- servative or Liberal -Conservative and, not Progressive: More important still,, he is not likely to be called up- on to carry out any policy which he may enunciate on this subject. It is almost inconceivable that Mr. Brack- en will come to Ottawa after the June lith election with as much as one- half- of the newly -elected members in his following (we do not expect ,even Mr. King to achieve that comfortable position); and, if he -should be called upon to form a Government it could therefore only be by -coalition with another group or groups. If all the coalescing groups were 'pledged to conscription, the coalition would ob- viously have to. apply it; but if not, the coalition won't be free to adopt whatever policy its members could agree upon, and we have no expecta- tion whatever that any other import- ant group will be pledged to conscrip- tion, while many will be pledged against it, Add to this that the new Government .could plead• with some effect that after June 1l th, . it will be too late to de anything but carry on with whatever machinery the old Government has left it, and it seems pretty clear that the conscription is- sue has no practical significance ex- cept as a' means of capitalizing re- sentment against the present Govern- ment. ,,That compulsory service is -the ideal way of waging war for a democratic country is fairly obvious.. It implies, however, a pretty large degree of.na- tional unity. Newspapers which are fond of demanding that Canada imi- tate Great Britain in this respect (the Montreal Gazette, for instance) are careful to overlook the fact that Great Britain does not impose con- scription in that portion of 'its terri- tory where the` requisite degiree of national unity does not exist, namely Northern Ireland. Our own feeling throughout this war has been that the requisite degree of national unity to make••`"conscription, wise and practic- able does not exist in Cai.nada, - and Would, certainly not be • promoted by the adoption of conscription before unity does exist. There is one other argument by which conscription, even at the ex- pense of national unity, can be justi, fled, and that is the argument which appeared to exist in the closing days of the campaign in France. and Bel- gium, and which so greatly influenc- ed the minds of. Parliament meriabers that- they forced the adoption of the compulsory reihforcement policy—the angumenf namely that; the Canadian forces tben in the field could not be kept up without compulsory reinforce- ment. That argument is not likely to recur in connection, with the war against Japan, which will in the main be a naval and .air conflict.

Taxevasion seems to have ,beer Iu. , managed three h salting away a sheaf of big ono nation netes be- hind the mantelpiece or under the settee instead of showing them'in the ordinary- bank's deposit book. Evasion of foreign exchange eon- trol.is understood to have reached proportions .which the Treasury could no longer foreseer to crack down on. There remains the general ban .on _import of notes. into Great Britain ; but since large -denomination bank notes held overseas are believed to be greater in value than the amount of the total present circulation of such notes in Great Britain, measures had to be devised to eliminate the gap in the foreign exchange through the existence of 'these notes overseas when postal censorship may he re- moved after the war. This innovation in' the circulation of bank notes in the various denomin- ations formerly procurable is of some concern to those legally or illegally ;wishing to use them as currency; but it will in no way be as commonly dis- concerting as was the withdrawal of gold coinage and the issue of ten - shilling and one -pound paper money during the last war. The Paths , of "Glory" (Toronto Star) Konrad Henlein,gauleiter of Czech, Sudetenland, has killed' himself with a razor blade to escape Allied justice. ' Josef Terbeven, Hitler's commissar for Norway, and Wilhelm Rediess, Terboven's chief of police have blown themselves ue with dynamite to es- cape the wrath of the Norwegians. One after another the Hitler hench- men are captured or killed or commit suicide. Hitler himself 4s probably dead, perhaps by his own hand. Goer- ing, his second in command, has been taken by the Allies end.wili be dealt with as, his crimes deserve, Hess, who was to inherit after Goering,: is a mentally unbalanced captive in Bri- tain. The Allies have taken Von Papen, Kesselring, Von Mackensen, and others. They are trying the Nor- wegian criminal who gave the word Quisling to the English language, and indeed to many languages, as a syn- onym for. "traitor." The charred body of Goebbels has been found in an underground Berlin fortress. The arch -criminal Himmler is stillat large. So is Von Ribbentrop. But fate ,will catch up with them. A Can- adian soldier has captured Seyss- Inquart, 'Seyss-Inquart! It was he whom Hitler made Reichstadthaler of Aus- tria when, in 1938, the Nazis march- ed into that country and incorporat- ed it in the Reich as Ostmark. It was then -just little more -than sev- en years ago—that Hitler arranged a triumphal entry into Vienna, spoke there to hundreds of thousands of cheering Nazis, boasted: "No force on earth 'can :shake •us. The German Reich, as it stands • today, is inviol- able. . No one can shatter it." - Ithas nevertheless been shattered. And millions upon millions of men, warren and children in other nations have in the meantime paid with their blood for the insane ambition of that evil than and his unspeakable associ- ates to rule the world. To achieve that ambition they were willing to go to -any lengths; to lengtbs of torture p.ad of wholesale outrage unparalleled In the world's history. They infected even their boys and girls with their Satanic doctrines and practices. They eragged down their nation to depths ot`depravity to which the .most primi- tive savages have not descended. Along with Hitler marched Musso- lini. And Mussoligi too has 'paid the penalty of his crimes. Hitler raved of Germany's inviolability in 'Vienna and Berlin' and wherever he marched as a conqueror. Mussolini raved of Italy's might from a Roman balcony; went to North Africa to make a triumphal entry into Alexandria ..when Axis troops were knocking at the door of Egypt. But Egypt was saved. And Mussolini, in the end, was' captured and shot; was bung up to be the ridi- tcule of his people, his body kicked and hacked by the multitude. "But yesterday the word of Caesar might Have stood against the world; now lies he there, - And none so poor to do him rever- ence." What a price the Axis criminals are paying for their brief few years upon the paths pf *hat they conceived to be glory." Such paths of glory lead net only to the grave, but to a grave of shame.

Huron Federation Of : A riculture--FarmN Fall Price For ,Export Eggs For fresh eggs for export this fall, also for the fall period of 1946, the Special Products Board of the Do- minion- Department of Agriculture has announced it will pay a price six cents higher than the present price for winter -spring eggs. This will give a price of 45 cents per dozen, deliv- ered at.seaboard, for Grade "A" large eggs, fresh. The :same rate will be paid for Grade "A" mediums, with the usual differentials under Grade "A" large. The.period in which these pric- es will prevail is between Sept, 15th and Dec. 15t1i, in both 1945"and 1946. The ability to announce a definite paying price for six months' to a year and "a half ahead, provides desired stability of both prices and market for producers. The Board announces that 250,000 cases, or 7,500,000 dozen, of fresh eggs will be required in the period mentioned.. U.

Save the Best Yearling Hens Save the best yearling hens for egg production in 1946 and also to pro- duce more eggs In the, fall of 1945, is the advice given to Canadian poultry- men by the.. poultry authorities of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. Assurance has now been obtained that Britain will require eggs in 1946 in at least as great quantities as in 1945. The periods during which, Britain wants shell eggs most are in the fall and in the 'winter and early spring. in the past six months, Canada was able to make a fine contribution. A like contribution will be expected next fall and winter. - With fewer early chicks this year, say the poultry authorities, the pros-. pects are not so bright.
