GALBRAITH, S tary Bubscription 2.00 per year; 2.50 to United S reulati Member of the Audit Bureau of ns. A MATTER OF PRIDE HIS officer's contempt of danger, per- sonal fighting spirit, magnificent exam- ple and outstanding leadership, have been an inspiration to his regim nt and have directly contributed throughout the mixed and heavy fighting of the 1944 Italian cam- paign to successive defeats of the enemy So reads the final paragraph of the official citation for the ard of the Distinguished Service Order to Lt.-Col. C. A, Richardson, of Red Deer, commanding officer of the Calgary: Tanks, What more could one say? In those few words the whole record of a courageous and intelligent commanding officer is set down, and set down by people who have personal experience of the kind of things Col. Richardson kept on doing through the weary months of the Italian fighting. Any words by stay-at-home news: paper people would be out of place. . The pride.the, Calgury? Tanks fattirally feel in this award to their gallant commanding officer is shared to the full by all his:many friends here, and not the least by those members ofthe Tanks who went from Red Deer with him and have: since been in- valided out of the serv Starting out with the Regiment as a second lieutenant on September 1, 1940, Col. Richardson has served with it continuously ever since. He was with it at Dieppe in August, 1942, and has taken part in every other action through Sicily and Italy, and on to Holland and Germany. He has been honored by his men in many ways and this new honor that has come to him was worthily won and will be worthily borne. The people of this town and district are proud of him. PLEASE SPARE ANADA has been spared the ravages of physical war, Our homes are intact, our cities and towns are not only undamaged, but have been much improved during the six years of war. Our food is plentiful and varied, we have enough fuel and clothing for our'needs. Contrast our position with the people of Europe. Think of the millions who have lost their homes. Most of them are wearing clothing that gives them little or no protection against the rapidly ap- proaching winter. Their threadbare gar- ments have covered them for years and are almost beyond wearing. This week we have a chance to help these people who range from babes in arms to the old and infirm. Canadians from, coast to coast have organ- ized themselves into a united body to sup- ply clothing to Europe, and the drive is in full swing. Red Deer is well organized, and captains and: collectors are now hard at work. The best organization in the world is helpless without your sympathy and active support. -Look over the clothing you have and see what you can spare. Bring it to the Cockshutt warehouse any day before six p.m., or have it ready when the collector calls, It is a great work that is being done, and it is our privilege to help. Please give something. QUALITY PRODUCTION During World War I, Canada supplied substantial quantities of bacon and pork to Great Britain. The demand was great, the price was good and farmers extended them- selves to the utmost to produce as much pork as possible. Unfortunately, they neg- lected the factor of quality in their output and the result was that Canadian pork. lost favor on the British market. An entirely different situation prevailed during World War IJ. While Canada was the main source of supply for British bacon, care was taken to preserve the quality of the product which left the Dominion's shores. As a consequence, it is expected that Canadian bacon will continue to meet with favor among the British people and a steady market for a considerable quantity of Canadian bacon will be available. The quality of Canadian powtry pro- ducts has also been maintained at a high level, and right now many inquiries are be- ing received for Canadian breeding stock, * not only from Europe where. poultry flocks must be restored, but from such remote areas. as the British West Indies, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, Wales, and other countries. The moral is that it pays to keep up the standard of Canadian farm production. The quality product always gets the preference in-markets-all over the world.

Perhaps it would be unrea- sonable for the government to lay down exact regulations for the new force at this time, but a skeleton. schedule of pay and allowances could certainly be established now, subject to revision between stated limits. A certain nujpber of the best. quali- fied officers and other rariks could be, en- gaged on a permanent basis at once, and this number could be increased; at the end of two years or such other interim period as the authorities decided. The whole point is that the br avail- able today and will not be availa months,or- year Ifthe government wants them it must take them now, and they ar very well worth taking. FEDERATION OR ATOMIZATION ? (Elmore Philpott) HERE IS THE CONCLUSION WHICH AL- most shouts from the events of the past few wee The nations can make war but the na- tions can't. make peace. So long as-nations have to act as nations so long as there is no genuine responsible democracy at the inter- national level we will continue to have the same kind of frustrations as came out of the September meeting of the Big Five Foreign Ministers. It would be possible to give dozens of examples of the mischief-making results of trying to perpetuate the anarchy of national sovereignty after it has woefully demon- strated its futility. Here are a few: ONLY ONE NATION HAS THE ATOMIC bomb ready for use. Only three nations have the general idea of the manufacture of the uranium bomb, Those that have all or part of the secret won't share it even with their main allies. Hence the world slips toward a new race of every nation for itself ane to atoms with the hindmost. Big Three powers have each staked out a bloc for themselves. The United States bloc is not clearly defined in the east that is in Europe, Africa or Asia Minor. But it very definitely includes the whole Pacific, with all the islands above Australia. The British zone, of fact-or hope, in- cludes all Western Europe, Italy and Greece. It clearly includes all Arabic lands on both sides of the Suez Canal, as well as all for- mer British possessions in East Asia. he Soviet zone includes all of Eastern Europe with the great Slav dam de- signed to run across Europe at its narrow-, est point, that is from the head of the Adri- atic to the Baltic. It is where these zones are not admitted by all that th esparks fly. The United States rejects flatly the suggestion that Gen. Mac- Arthur should take instructions from an allied control commission. The Russians, likewise, repel any attempts, even by the main allies, to share the direction of affairs in Eastern Europe. They counter with bar- gaining demands for a share in control of Italy s former coloni he new British Labor government, elected because of rank-and-file British dissatisfaction with Mr, Churchill's foreign policy, continues without percept- ible difference the poli so vehemently criticized before the up: Even in Spain and Greece there is no change, WHILE THE FOREIGN MINISTERS OF the Big Five are in secret session, wrangling without success about details of the peace to be guggested for Italy and Eastern Eur- ope, the other allies chafe outside the doors. - Australia expresses the general dissatisfac- tion with the big power monopoly on. mak- ing the peace. Yet the real fact is that addition of all other United Nations would not improve possibilities of reaching preliminary: agree- ment. On the contrary, forty-five nations would find it harder to reach agreement than have the five. WHAT IS TO BLAME IS NOT THE CUS- sedness of any of the Big Three or Big Fi The trouble is that national governments can only govern nations or for nations, We will never get satisfactory world relation- ships until we get responsible internationa government of, for, and by people. That doesnot mean that ordinary peo- ple, like ourselves An Cariade, should throw up our hands in lessness and sa What's the use? we must do everything possible to make the present rudimentary system abo all prevent the various blocs getting into motion against each other, But we must work for the day when we shall elect members to our world parliament, just as we now do provincially and nationally. Federation of the United States and all the western democracies, including Britain and Canada, would: be an admirable begin- ning. *p Oke with i Wicwire William iccidentally , Mrs chi per Forty-three cars and trucks Germany had started a two of a riumber of aubstitute fuel Hine.
