those :things.' he was unable to say
during hte three years in the Soviet
capital.
11ir. Winterton knows the Soviet
Viten as well as most outsiders. TIS
was there first in 1928. He has mode
repeated visite since. He speaks
Russian and reads it also: }Ie is no
diehard reaetlenarY but a liberal
whose writings and broadcasts ,oyer
the years' are his best recammenda-
tion• •He has always been and eon-
Unties
onunties to be an admirer of Russia. All'
Old adds weight to Report on Russia
and makes it a discouraging indict
meet.
It means 'furthermore that .there is.
little hope for any genuine co-opera-
tion between the Soviet Union and
the western powers, not for lack of
approach on their part, ,bet because
"it takes two to make friends." And
GUS, according to Mr. Winterton, is
not. the Soviet idea of friendship.
'Invisible Fence
All bis ,experience in Russia forced
one conclusion upon him—that the
Soviet Union, because . of fear and.
suspicion, will riot .allow the contacts
necessary to friendship, or the spread
of knowledge upon which it must be
based. "All of us,' in our various
ways, tried. But an invisible fence
sprang up around us directly we got
to Russia, and it moved with us.
wherever we went."
To Russia, Anglo -Soviet, co-opera-
tion—and any . other co-operation for
that matter—means that when they
want• something we should give it
a{rd when they do not we should stand
out of the way.
' Russian policy throughout the war
was devoted to developing this prin-
ciple. News of Britain and the al-
lied countries was held to a minimum
while every effort was made to en-
courage the opposite. While - allied
newspapers were packed, with news
of the Soviet Union and a "deep res-
ervoir of goodwill" was being devel-
oped towards that country, nothing
of. a' similar nature was allowed in
Russia. •
• The only publication devoted to
presenting th•e'allied side was British
Ally, a twelve -page illustrated paper,
whose circulation' was held to 50,000
in a nation of 19u millions. More-
over. unlike similar periodicals in the
allied countries which presented the
Soviet view, British Ally contained ma
controversial material
-. A Slight •Carnparson
Furthermore the Soviet radio used
no' British or allied featurL materiaL;
Against this Winterton- himself did
over 500, four -minute broadcasts for
the B.B.C. from Moscow. Even, a
small library whieh the British at-
tempted to install .in Moscow was
curtailed, .censored and finally closed,
not directly but by a simple expedi-
ent- of encouraging the Russian peo-
ple not to use, its facilities.
War news was handled on a simi-
lar basis. At no time did. the Rus-
sian people receive any indication of
•the part the allies played. They were
encouraged through. every means at
the disposal of the Soviet govern-
ment to believe that Russia was fight-
ing,. and winning, the war single-hand-
ed.
A grudging and fleeting recognition
was given to major events. Before
the invasion of the continent, there
was constant reference to the failure
of the .altiee to lend, support. Mont-
gomery'e desert campaign was dis-
missed; allied bombing. of Germany
alniost ignored; British efforts to run
•supplies to •Murmansk mentioned on-
ly on praise of the Soviet navy's part
in them,
The fail of Rome received half a
column of imconsequenti-al • reporting.
The surrender of Italy was covered
in Red Star, the •Soviet .Army news-
paper, in a email item with a tiny
headline; the liberation of Paris in a
four -inch paragraph with no indica-
tion- that British or American troops
had .played, any part in it.
The American destruction of . Ger-.
man forces in the Rhine -Moselle tri-
angle—one of the most spectacular
incidents in the ,war—the Remagen
bridgehead,, the fail of Coblenz;
Werms, Kaiserlauten and Ludwigs-
h.afen with the capture of thousands
of enemy troops was reported in Red.
Star as follows: 'March 14,,18 linea;
March 15, 33; March 16, 21; March
18, 20; March 20, 27; March 21; 23;
March 22, 31. There was no map and.
no' explanatory copy.
"Never in the history of joint mill-
tary operations," writes .Mr. Winter-
ton, "have the spectacular and flnal-
ly"" decisive achievements of a coun-
try's
ouptry's allies been so deliberately, -con-
sistently and dishonestly hushed up."
It was impossible to do a good
straight forward job of reporting.
Correspondents were not allowed
near the front lines. They had , no
contacts they could go to for itlfor-
ma-tion in Moscow. -Maps were not
• supplied nor was there proper identi-
fication of areas of combat. The press
department was understaffed, ineffiei=
ent, uninterested, lacking in •author-
,ity and frequently! obstructive. It suf-
fered, as one correspondent noted bit-
terly, from a fora of "galltiping par-
alysis."
Censorship' was not censorship as
allied correspondents were accustom-
ed to in Europe, 'Alines:. were deleted'
and new lines- added A11=1inpertantr
words like "neer" ' Were ' removed,.

Mr. Wintenton's verdict is that we
ehduld remain *rang because Russia
appreciates gnly strength. We ehould
attempt by every means to foster
friendship but realize, when we do so,
that nothing much can be done until
the Soviet Union changes i'ts attitude.
It is a sad story and a fearful one.
Tobacco Is Now. .
Ontario's Largest
Single Cash Crop
(By Alex Jsinusitis)
•
A new •421000,+000 building •towers
today over what, was once regarded
as sandy wasteland .in. Southwestern
Ontario—a symbol of the "coming of
age" of Canada's tobacco industry.
A quarter of a century ago, farm •
ers stared. in discouragement at the'
shifting sands covering a wide belt of
land stretching east from Lake Erie,
embracing portions of Norfolk and
surrounding counties. •
Then, two men: set• a new kind of
plant in the sandy soil. It produced,
luxuriant leaves that were bung in a
strange -looking barn for curing. •
'The two men were William L. Pel-
ton and Henry Freeman, the first to
sucGess,fully• grow flue -cured: -tobacco
in Canada 'oft. a commercial basis.
Soon•they began buying up farms in
the area to experiment on a wider
basis. Farmers, tired of fighting the,
shifting sands, offered their land glad-
ly at $10 an acre.
Today,• the land is arpong.,the .most
valuable in Canada -selling, as high'
as $500. an acre.

Market For Alf Crop
There is a ready•market.for all the
tobacco grown in Canada, either at
home or abroad, and the tobacco, in-
dustry is an important factor in the
nation's economy.
Last year Canadian smokers con-
sumed about 15;000,400,000 cigarettes,
210,000,000 cigars, and more than 30,-
000,000
0;000,000 pounds• of pipe tobacco.
To help meet the demand 100,000
acres were planted to tobacco in On-
tario alone this year. Fropa them
came a •crop of 90,000,000 pounds,
worth $30,000,000 to the growers. The
crop made Canada self sufficient in
flue -cured tobacco and ready to reach
out for export markets:
To handle •th.e manufacturing side
of the tobacco,' about 70 factories em-
ploy more than 11,000 men and wo-
men and pay them $20,.000,000 a year
to make the leaf tobacco into cigar-
ettes, cigars and other types of fin-
ished smoking mixtures.
