k 1 = Member of The Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association TS fo Ph ee re A ISAS A A Aart Se - What The Commonwealth Conference Did NOTES AND (COMMENTS | Geli Things. Straight * Too 1 many people, including the Russians, believe that: the United States almost single-handed is fighting the Korean War. At has-always been a failing of American publicity to "stress its own contribution and to minimize the contribution of other countries. So successful -has such pro- paganda been that many Canadians and most Americans really think that their soldiers are the only ones really making a sacrifice on the hills and mountains of - Korea. The truth of the matter is that out of the fifteen divisions on the eastern front, only five are American. Over sixty per cent of the front line in Korea is being held by South Koréans; another fifteen per cent is held by units of the United Nations other than the Americans. The Americans are holding about twenty-five per cent of the line. "In the United Nations forces are: Bel- gians, Australians, Canadians, Columbians, J'rench, Ethiopians, British Philippinos, New Zealanders, Dutch, Greeks, and sold- - Thailand cand iers from Luxembourg, Turkey. The Commonwealth Conference which lasted for two weeks has done something to clear the air with regard to the sterling- block countries. | These countries have quite plainly stated that they are far mgle interested- in trade than they are in aid. In quite blunt language they affirmed con- fidence in their own ability to cope with a difficult situation provided the North American countriég can see their way clear. -to meeting certain reasonable requests con- cerning the lowering of tariffs. : The markets of this countinent must be opened up if Canada and the United States are to maintain their present high level of exports. That Canada is prepared to - agree with conclusion up to a point is un- questionable; much more questionable is the probable attitude of the United States -with regard to such a proposition. . The "Republican Party is a strongly protection- ist party not noted for far-sightedness -. with regard to matters of trade. The countries are going 10 Lesser propositions were endorsed. Commonwealth While it is true 'that much of the equip- ment and-war materials are coming from the States, it is no less true that 'it better than any other country is in a position to = supply the materials of war, It is highly. unjust for us to believe that the United States is bearing the brunt of the war; it is just as wrong for us to think' that any member of the United Nations is hearing the brunt of the war; the brunt of the war is being born by the South Koreans and always has been born by them since the very beginning of the fighting. - To set the facts straight makes it pos- sible for us to see the significance of this war, for, here in Korea, is being forged the world's first international army and that army, in spite:of press reports to the con- trary, is fighting as a team, Any one who seeks to distort the facts either for political advantages or cheap and specious feelings of patriotism does his country a great disservice, It is time that we understood the truth of these matters; there is nothing to be gained from such misrepresentations about the situation in Korea, make a greater effort to increase their output of food and raw products. The Bank of England. is supporting the setting up of a British company to provide more: capital for Commonwealth development. is to encourage the investment of dollars in such projects. The whole scheme, it is hoped will slowly, gradually work. towards - convertability of the two currencies. The United States is going to be asked to increase the price of 'gold but hopes con- cerning this are anything but robust ones. The suggestion - from North 'that Great Britain practise greater econ- omies by further reductions in the stand- ard of living was flatly rejected by. Brit- ain's Chancellor of the Exchequer. If the conference has done nothing more than to make quite clear the attitude of the British and to demonstrate that further that she will not go, then-it has had a sobering effect for those of us who doled "out fatuous advice refusing to face facts " Canada America THE PASSING SHOW by "The tendency of the automotive in- dustry on this continent is to make bigger and bigger, useless and more useless, space - consuming vehicles which créate traffic problems, are costly to run and still more costly to trade . . .

Farm Facts BROODING WITH INFRA RED LAMPS-- Considerable interest has heen -cve- ated in the use of 'infra red lamps for brooding chicks, due to the reduced labour requirements and lessencd five hazards, states B. F. Cheney, Techni- cal Officer (Poultry), Experimental © Station, Kentville, Nova Scotia. In setting up a brooding system of this kind it is advisable to have the work done by a competent "electrician so that there will -be no chance of over- loading the circuits, and to conform with local regulations. The: building used should be of tight construction to avoid draughts and to retain as much as possible of the heat generated. The first few weeks it is necessary to have a solid guard, pre- ferably a foot or more in height, around the outside of the lighted area. | This helps to retain the heat and Soeh the chicks from wandering. The lights are usually in sets of six or eight, allowing fifty chicks pey light, The lights may be in pairs tilted at a slight angle so that by raising the form to which they are attached the light will cover a wider area. The lights_should be placed eighteen in- ches off the floor and raised several inches each week so that the chickens gradually become less dependent on a gource of outside heat. Also on warm days some or all of the lights can be | turned out either by manual means or by. thermostatic control. are usually 250 watts but during the summer months 125 watt bulbs may be large enough. One of the drawbacks to the-use of these lights, is the coniplete depend- ence that is placed on electricity. Tt Austin C. A. Bathi DR.

Crowding may he experienced in extremely cold weather with five- or six-week-old chicks 'when it is impossible for them all to get under the rays of the lamps. To avoid thig, one-half of the guard rail may be left outside the lighted area, giving the birds something to form against near the lights. Other- wise this type of brooding will cause less anxiety from crowding than most, as the brids will usually come to the lights when chilled instead of going into a-corner, Operating costs usually will he somewhat higher than for other types of brooding, but the initial outlay is considerably less, providing thé®heavy winter the small operitor wanting to rear fifty chicks or so in the stable or some other available space, one or two bulbs 'may be set up to provide the re- quired heat.

Statistics show, that traffic deaths in December ave usually double those fo Janumry and that the emo tional -strain and fatigue of "the phoney Christmas" will cause a 20 percent increase in deaths from heart attacks, Lao, The Maclean's writer points out that about five million Canadians will go to church on Christmas Eve or Day --some of them for the only visit of the year--and that many families and other groups will draw together in unity, for thé season at least. But looking at the whole Yule picture, he sees it predominately drawn in garish colors and decorated with tinsel and cardboard angels. "This double-barreled attack in- our emotions and our pocketbooks plunges on with mounting madness," Bods- worth writes. "Santa Claus, the once- corrupted into a master salesman, will laugh 'his hoist- erous phony laugh on Canada's brondeasting "stations, and five mil- lion Canadian breadwinners -2 bank accounts and tempers are grow- ing shorter by the hour--will suspect that he's laughing cyniaclly at them."
