Snow In Moscow "Sua w feil in Moscow last niglt". That is what he headlines said. And it was said in a way ta cause people ta believe that this fresh "allv" of the "Democracies" would hait. entangle, and confuse the thundering herd converging upon the Russian Capital. Snow isn 't going ta haîf Hitler; if will take more than that, and it's about time the hcad- line hunters toak a realistie tack. Here in -~Canada we- have fought a war of lieadlincs. Even the sedate among the daiies have suc- cumbed ta "screamer" hcadlincs which seldom tell the trufli. Headlines are the product of addicts whose job is ta sell news- papers, not ta tell the truth about thie war. And it is about time, ta clieck back and add up just what we have done in the past two years and where ive stand today. The picture is worthy of study because it will bring a sabering element into the complac- ency of the day and ougli t f sfrengt heu aur resolutian. Let us speak as members of the Commonwealth. We have been beaten ahl along the liue; driven from Norway and twiee ouf of France. We have been jolted back on aur heels in Libya, whipped out of Greece and liustied ouf of Crete. Even on flie Atlantic, The Hun with no navy, lias forced us ta cry "hel'p". We have won fronfiers in1 Ethiopia, Syria, Iran. against littie resistance. Everywhere we have op- posed the Hitler tribe in battie we have been defeated. Wc were lucky ta sink the Bis- marc k. Headlines tell us that we bombed the Sharnhorst and Gneisenau tiil they were shapeless hulks, but anly yesterday they were secu at sea along flie Norwegian coast. We have overwhelmed the German navy, small and meagre ai compared with ours, and 3-et they seen ta have a navy. Russian headlines shout that German bodies lie piled in dead heaps but stili the Hun presses on, four million againsf fourteen million. If we are ta believe headlines, then over haîf the Huns have beeri slain and we auglit ta invade the continent. But we are nat yet invading. We are takiiig sage advice and grawing strong enougli ta do so. Meantine we sliould discount ail this lieadline "pap" and gef if into aur licads that we have a long, liard, bloady, road ta travel before we can beat the Prussian Horde. Distorted news leads ta coxnpiacency, and we are sur- fcited with that. Let us have truth in al. ifs stark reality. Are They Old Men?

Williamis, creator af «'Ouf Our Way". whom oilly two may be classcd as "falter- ing-" during the desperate state of the world today. Mussolini is the "washout" of the bunch. Mentally, they run tlie gamut froin gutter to the heights of learning, as rep- resented. by Hitler and Mr. King. And, physically, ail seemi to be standing the racket. Mr. King 's press agent tried ta electrifv readers with the fact that, at 66, the Prime Minister survivcd the trip over- seas with remarkable fortitude. This fell ratiier flat when it is noted that Beaverbrook, for .,ears in poor- health, virtualiv commutes between Washingto&i, Moscow and London. He eau "take it" without press build-up. So can the farmers. There are thousands past 70 doing farin tasks as well as they ever did. There are scores past 80, riding rickety farmn impie- ments today. Riding for a few hours in&a high spced plane at 66 is mere child's play in1 comparison. Measured against the ages of tiue toiler ini rural Canada, the war lead- ers of the day are not sa aid. With the exception of a few. if is iikely they will last out tili the Thing is over. 0f ail thelot, two may be classed as "arm-chair" men. Stalin is one of the twa. Ail others have been men of action. Only men in easy chairs grow senile and begin ta prate of the past and compile notes for their "Memoirs". -v Subsidizing Farm Labor The Canadian Press reports Premier Hep- burn as being fully alive ta farin problems, but increasingly unable ta do mucli about it naw that Ottawa lias invaded flie provincial revenue fields. Some time ago a delegation of weekly edifors met Mr. Hepburn and outlined the seriausness of flic farmer 's Position in regard ta labor and feeda. A plan was ag-rced upon of getfing action through publicity and ane advertisement appeared as spansorcd by tlie provincial Minister of Agriculture. Since that, there has been sil- ence. lu the first place, and as a natter of facf, in flic second place and ail the time, naw that we are into flic third year of war, the 'natter is anc for the Minister or Agri- culture at Ottawa and fthe Minister of National War Services. Mr. Hepburn is quot cd: "Until the farin- er is able ta pay competitive wages he cari'f get hclp. Wc arc going ta sec a shortage of dairy -produets, ment and poultry. Wc are short of fced. Men cannof be conscriptel for farms but wc miglit appeal to you1ths and aider men on a patriofie basis. We may eveîî have ta organise women but fhcy eau- nat da mucli an a livestack farm.. We have nia power ta make anyone work on farins." It is well recognized that thousands of acres are gailg aut af production and few able bodied men will remain on farms when fhcy can get out and earn, in industrial war pro- duction, tlirce times wliaftliey cari at farin work in1 haîf the hours they now put in. If is likcly that provincial subsidies for bacon and cheese are as far as the provincial goverriment can go in f bat direction. One other subsidy lias been mootcd; that is a subsidy for farin labor. Sa long as present conditions obtain there is no hope of af- tracting farm labor back ta the farms. Sub- sidies of any kind arc pon substitÙfes for clearcut and planned policies. There lias been tentative assistance in the matter of News Article Shows Hpayocrlsy in Wa aariti.s The Financial Post 'lifts fs voice againaf Uic sharn and pre- tense behind a large and growiug numnber of allegcd I"war clarifies" in many parts of Canada, We quote tram its front page: Scores af war charity .projects fhroughout the country, uow get- tine info Uic stnide of their win- fers work, are beginuing ta feel the pressure af regulaflon number 15.

A Shortage of Nurses/ The cagerness of Canadian nurses for war services leaves bareiy enougli of these ad- mirable wamen ta fake care of civilian re. quirements. One of flic great difficulties in the future, will be ta kecp enougli nurses- ln Canada ta f ake cane of civilian needs., A. shortage of nurses is serious at any time, but if is a criticai situation in a turne of emergency such as exists af the present time. Hospitals must be sfaffed bocause flic healtli of flic public must be rnaintaincd.. flpidemics can bc as disastrous as guns and bombs. With the possibility of sucli a short- age, if is essential that a remedy be found witliouf any wastc of time. The medicai frafcrnity, which conduets nosf of flic lis- pitals, lias a responsibilify vital ta fthe wei- fare of flic nation.
