MATTERS FOR ° DOMIN(ON-PROVINCIAL CONFERENCE Matters which in the opinion of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture are "of vital concern to the future weefare of the farming industry of Canada," and which should receive attention from the present conference on Dominion -Provincial relations, are dealt with ig a •brief prepared by the Federation and filed with the Secretary of the conference. These matters' are itemized in the brief as follows: Maintenance of support for and stability in prices for agricilltural pro- ducts in both domestic and export Enactment of a suitable Dominion market -beg act. More effective co-ordination of ag- ricultural services as between the Dominion and the Provinces. Co-ordination and expansion of ag- ricultural research, with a fuller re- cognition of its importance, and with provision for consultation from time to time with producer organizations. Continuation of the annual Domin- ion -Provincial conference on agricul- tural. production. Continuation of the Advisory Com- inietee to the Minister of Agriculture and the ' Canadian Food Board. • Enactment of a suitable Dominion health insurance plan along the lines recommended in the Federation's plan submitted in 1943. Enactment of a suitable Dominion co-operative act. Witb respect to the maintenance of support for and stability in prices, the brief states that if the policy of maintaining floor prices for farm pro- ducts, which has heen adopted as fundamental proper economic stabil- ity, is to be successful, .it will re - °quire co-ordinated action between the Dominion and the Provinces and. a recognition of the importance of sta- bility in prices for exported commodi- ties. In requesting suitable Dominion legislation for the marketing of farm products, the Federation brief agrees with comments of •the Sirois 6m- -Mission in this respect, and submits a draft act which, states the Federa- tion, represents the ideas of organiz- ed agriculture for practical legisla- tion. The Federation emphasizes the need for a greater co-ordination of Dominion and Provincial agricultural services, effected possibly tbrough the medium of more active joint advis- ory committees functioning in each province. The Sirois Commession had expressed the opinion that mach waste and loss In agricultural ser- vices arose from the tendency of gov- ernment policies to get into a rut, and the commission recommended a constant re-examinatiOn, of all agri- cultural services, schemes and enter- prises in the light of modern needs, The emphasis 'was placed bf the Federation on -the need for ex- pansion of agricultural research, and strongly urged consultation with farm organizations in this matter. Success of the annual Dominion - Provincial conference. on farm pro- einction, which has been held now for four years, is emphasized in the brief with an •urgent request that it should be continued as a. permanent policy, in view of its value in to -ordination of planning. The brief states that the eperae times Of the advisory committee to the Minister of Agritediture and Food.

Department of Agri culture to arrange for the re -opening of the U.S. cattle market :for the ex- port of a certain proportion of the surplus. These repreeeutations were made recently by a delegation repre- senting the federation in an inter- view with departmental heads, and were favOrably received. , Cattle producers making this re- quest expressed full recognition of the commitments which Canada has made to Britain for meat supplies un- til the end of 1946, stating there was no thought of interfering with these commitments. Neverthelees, such is the situation in the cattle business that they believe marketing and packing plant facilities and labor in Canada which is bound to occur, nor Process the, meat rapidly enough to keep up the necessary shipments ov- erseas. They feel, therefore, that the U.S. market should be reopened to take sufficient live cattle from Canada to relieve the pressure, and save pro- ducers the inevitable loss that oc- curs when cattle in considerable num- bers have to be kept at home or in stock yards at producers' expense un- til such time as the plants are able to handle- them. Department beads dismissing the matter with the delegation, made known the problems confronting them in obtaining meat euPplies for Bri- tain, but recognized also the 'basis of the request from the cattle -pro ducers, and promised the fullest pos- sible consideration. This Is Not The Last of Churchill (By R. J. Deachman) When we get over the shuck of it we shall cease to be amazed at the defeat of Winston Churchill. He was called forth by the nation for a par- ticular purpose, the defeat of Nazism and all its works. No man on earth was betterfitted for the He had a natural aptitude for military jgob- lems. He had taken part in preWous wars. He had reported one, written histories of 'several. Churchill was the seprenie man .for the job. True, Japan IS not yet defeated, but the. preliminary difficulties have been. overcome, the attitude of Britain to- wards Japan will not change with the advent of a socialist government. Strong forces are now at work. The British Commonwealth no longer stands alone against the might and „power of Nazism, the whole scene has changed. In part, with weariness, with a feeling that Churchill is not the man for peace, in present•circum- stances, the people of Britain decid- ed, and Winston Churchill has gone down to defeat. When the -first feeling of disap- pointment is over there will come to him a sense of relief. He has one great unfinished task. He will write his memoirs, the tory of the world's greatest conflict. No other person could do it, no other would have the ability nor the knowledge. He has a splendid capacity for dealing with a great theme, fitting the conflict into its proper place in world histo-ry, writing a story which will be a guide for future generations, telling how to avoid disaster and defeat, telling how, at times, might may rise to defend the right. There would have been danger in the re-election of Winston Churchill. The swing in the unitk Kingdom, temporarily at least, is to the left,- If Churchill bad been returned with a narrow majority he might have found himself in a difficult position. He may be called a Liberal or a Con- servative, depending upon the point of view. He has been both 'within a few short years, but no one can claim that Winston Churchill is a Socialist, and to leave him to struggle against a rising -tide of Socialism might well have brought disaster. Statesmen, even the greatest of them, Winston Churchill is no excep- tion, strive desperately to retain of- fice even when the current turns against them. There is a tendency, in these circumstances, to accept and adopt as a part of th'eir policy planks in which they have no faith. `" Socialism, in the. United„,Kingdom, should come from the Socialists. Let those who feel that freedom can still be retained, while living under the restrictions of Socialism, make the effort, attempt to carry it out. This is not the task for Winston Churchill. It was the voice of Britain '-which spoke thb other day, the people want- ed tp try the new. There la 'a 'word to Clement Attlee—he will now live ,under the eye of the taskalaster. So- oialism may now be put to the test; it 'has promised inUela, but judgment Will be on perfOrMante, ft 1I have tOtici1o**.ki040i0.,,11 grasB ot1*•,104#104,1i **0*, vitm1ret t 00400.04op„ #0, •1,6tfr? .0 air -power Modern' war and tie reliance tila901 he placed up an 4 to secure the defeat -of Ger; M40.3"- The controversy, ,cat. cotuise, was. about whit is called "atrategic bombing," the use of .air power en- tirely Unrelated to either land .or Sea, operations, .4dmost all Military %Ala' ion accepted without argument the value of tactical air forces, that, air forces , employed in conjunction with ground forces. Each army in Europe had its tactical air force of fighters and bombers. The Royal Air Force boniber com- Mand, in winch a substantial propor- tion of the air crews were Canadian and of which. the Royal Canadian Air Force panther. group formed a part, and the United States strategic air forces in Europe under General Carl Spaatz, represented the main offen- sive air power of the wester ic allies. Did we achieve ilefory through air power? High U.S. military Opinion_ is sufficiently convinced that we die, so that General Spaatz has been assign- ed to direct the strategic bombing offensive against Japan on a scale comparable to his. force in Europe. The scale is at present becoming comparable, for' the U.S. army air forces had 18,428 planes deployed against Germany in the final weeks of operations, and the U.S. air forces against Japan, so at least Tokyo complains,- already amount to about 11,000 planes. Major-General Frederick L. Ander- son was deputy commander of U.S. strategic air forces in Europe, and his reply to the question whether air power won the war is to let the Ger- man commanders testify. Separate and exhaustive interrogation of vale tured• German commanders revealed general agreement among them that - Germany was totally undermined by strategic bombinb, basically by the destruction of: 1. German military communications; 2. German fuel oil industry; and '3. Aircraft industry and air forces.- CoL-General von Viet- inghoff, German supreme command- er in the southwest, said: "It is generally recognized that Allied air attacks were extremely successful. Thi' is especially true with refer- ence to attacks on the fuel industry which by the end of the war proved to be the decisive factor." SS. Gen- eral Wolff said: "Allied air attacks on the fuel industry had great effect and the results were, cumulative until finally, in the last months of the war the industry was almost totally de!- streyed." General Lemelson, core - mender of the German 14th army, said: "The 'attacks on the fuel in- dustries were the most, important," Lieut. -General Boehlke, •commander of 334th Division said: "During the first years of the War the Allied air attacks only bad 'a small retarding effect on German aircraft and fuel production, but toward the end of the war the continuing attacks had a de- cisive effect in' determining the course of the war." General Roesen- er, commander in western Austria, said: "In the fuel industry there occurred almost a total stoppage in the late stages of the war."' The United States, according to Major-General Anderson, spent $25,- 000,000,000 on its air forces and suf- fered 93,000 casualties, nearly 40,000 of them fatal. Canada, also, was not less heavy in its. proportionate invest- ment in air power. The American program of strategic bombing was aimed at the bottlenecks of the "Ger; roan economy and the destruction of the German air force as an insurance against the day. of amphibious land- ings on the coasts of -Europe. The lat- ter objective was attained so com- pletely that on the first two dalYs of the AIM& landings in France be June, 1944, the Germans flew only 30 sorties, most of them in southern France. Against ,:the German economy, stra- tegic bombing was concentrated on oil and transportation. Ofher suitable targets were power plants, chemicals, machine tools and aluminum. Yet these were left almost untouched. Ma- jor-General Anderson investigated the effects of strategic bombings in Ger- many in person. His figures show that German stocks of available gaso- line fell from 500,000 tons in May, 1944, to 230,000 tons in September, 144, to 84,000 tons in March': 1945. German production figures went down from 150,000 tons per month in May, 1944, to 7,000 tons in September, 1944, to 40 tons in Mara, 1945. At the end of the Italian campaign, German tanks' were being towed by oxen. In the same campaign, in September, 1944, it -took a Gerinaninfantry unit between 12 and 18 days to travel by rail trent.
