They wanted committees of par- liament appointed to look into and advise upon various phases of war activity, so the ordinary would know in more detail going on. There was, for ance, ter of several hundred mil lars worth of war contra the public accounts the House of Commons migh G. H. Castleden (C.C.F., Yorkton) suggested. The government's veluminous re- ports contained little more than to- tals, aside from revealing numerous new corporations of doubtful par- entage, he complained. He wantec to know something of prices paid and for what qualities. "Many of the mistakes that been made could be eliminated more attention was paid to elected members of parliar rather than to the so- cal e a-year men who are the streety of Ottawa, George Cruickshank Valley). "We -have been el wrongly, by the pop should be taken more int fidence of the government Should Seek Advice Advice of the members should sought more often, instead of of scme of the dollar-a-year who couldn't be elected pound- ris- gov what was the mat- on dol- which com B study. have ° 0 the con- keeper in British Columbia, he con- | tinued. and in many cases they are not re. sponsible at ed. As the throne speech debate mov- ed along, speeches re >d from en- forced saving, as a wa) avoiding inflation, to the financing of Cana- dian-American joint defence works with American credits. Gray Turgeon (Lib. Cariboo), o the latter point, set forth the idea of persuading the United States to advance enough gold from its huge reserves to cover the cost of Can- ada's part of these defence works, on a non-interest basis. The debt, he suggested, would be liquidated after the war from a sinking fund estab- lished by taking a percentage of Canada's annual gold production. Inflation, dealt with by D. C. Ab. bott (Lib, Montreal-St. Antoine- Westmount), was depicted as the most confused way of ' meeting the cost of war, since neither its results | nor its incidence could be calculated The cost of war, after all, was de- termined by the extent and intensity of the war, not by the method of its financing. In a speech which had the house alternately rocking with laughter and deeply serious, Mr. Cruickshank criticized the opposition and govern- me:it alike. He declared members of | parliament should be ashamed of | themselves for allowing the govern- ment to hire boys and girls for the civil service at $55 a month. Cigarette, Coffee Breakfast Because he lived in a room -- "because every apartment is taken by these dollar-a-year men"--he ate in restaurants and saw girls who worked for the government, break- fasting on a cigarette and coffee and having a "coke" and cigarette for supper; some of the $30,000 treasury officials should be told people could not live on $55 a month. Opposition speakers objected to member | men | A ; | year wi "They are responsible to no one, | all," Cruickshank add- | | was the 30-day military training period, he said, but no one had ever claimed | he could make a soldier in 30 days. | From his experience overseas he | knew there were some men who couldn't be made into soldiers in four years. There had been complaints, too, of lack of personal equipment for the army. After being in the army for years and out of the army for years, he said he still had only two shirts. More seriously, he advocated par- liament being held in almost con- tinuous session for the duration of the war, to perform its democratic duty of giving guidance to the na- | been suggested by | tion, as had Prime Minister Winston Churchill, "probably the greatest living states- man, present company excepted." Mr. Cruickshank advised the gov- erament to consider the military value of a good trans-Canada high- way, which the country lacked at present. If "a certain country" went to war with Canada, the two rail- roads through the Rocky Mountains would be order--and there was no alternative highway by which supplies could he teken to the Pacific coast.

This calls ror 'tearing | off a strip.' otherwise to reprimand. No longer does an enterprising air- man 'win' a wanted article; he 'or- | for the ganizes. When supplies have been | arranged, those supplies have been 'laid on. If an airman is 'fed-up', he is 'browned off'. If something displeases, 'a poor view' is taken of it. Sometlfag badly done is 'a black'. The correct method of do- | ing anything is 'the right drill'. Bomb dropping to the R AF. pilot is 'egg-laying' ." And a 'blonde job" we are told, is a young weman with fair hair. The German airmen, says the same British authority, also have their slang, "some of it quite in- comprehensible even to the most orthodox Na layman." The fam- ous Messerschmitt monly called the "flying brick." Other terms to describ: Nazi air- craft are "bath-tub" and "trunks." All metal aircraft is "brass donkey"; a heavy homber iz a '"pantechni- con." The general name for German pi- lots is "Emil" and for . observers "Franz". An observer is also a "staff-goggles." A young airman is are"; an ace pilot is a non"; an old pilor is called "peace- ful Emil", and a crew is called a term meaning more or less a flying family, Bombs are "eggs" or '"ci- gars.

Executive responsibility is entrusted to heads of branches en- gaged in different activities, said | Mr. Spence. Experience and a | working knowledge of the problems | confronting them -are looked upon !as special qualifications for those | who fill all responsible positions in | the administration. As much of the | work is in the skilled and scientific categories, specialists of one kind or | another are employed in the dif- ferent branches of the service. For |example: In the Water Conserva- | tion Branch, the field staffs are | headed by qualified engineers and | specialists in irrigaticn; in the Land Utilization Branch, the services of | soil experts are enlisted; and prac- tical agriculturists capable of ob- serving and reporting on results obtained from remedial measures taken to dea] with the problem in a given locality are also employed. It will be seen, therefore, that the greatest care is taken to secure and maintain a staff well equipped with scientific and technical knowledge, and fortified with a background of practical experiene. In ombining the scientific with the practical in this way, the best results are ob- tained and the best all-round ser- vice given to the public.
