"Tightening' Of Money Is Forecast By Sydney CAMPBELL London, May 14.--(Reuters)--The world seems bound to have one of the greatest tightenings of money in' its history, perhaps the great- est ever, by July 15, when Britain must make foreign countries' cur- rent sterling earnings freely con- vertible into other currencies. Sterling which, for most coun- tries has been an easy currency, must by then become as hard as the dollar--which, for most coun- tries,'is an extremely hard curren- oy. By July 15 By July 15 sterling 'must become virtua inter-changeable with dollars. Any sterling which can be spent anywhere must be spendable everywhere, in the dollar area equ- ally with the sterling area. ' Britain will live up to her obli- gation; she has aready done a lot in advance. The only way of do- ing it is to make spendable sterl- ing as scarce as dollars. Almost the whole of the accumulated sterling balances, more than £3,- 000,000,000 ($12,000,000,0000) which have been freely spendable on any- thing obtainable in the sterling area (about half the trading world) will. then be no longer avail- able for spending anywhere. The exception, as may be agreed, is re- patriation of British-owned assets in the creditor countries. Affect Markets 'This making change may reasonably be expected to affect ev- ery market and every buyer in the world. Neither Britain nor sterling is likely to break, but there is growing opinion here - that some markets may, What happens between now and July 18? It looks like a conflict be- tween opposing - forces, which may cause erratic markets. On the one hand, some people will treat sterling as hard currency in advance, Britain has already made the great change for all sterl- ing which is spendable by anyone in North America, Central America, Argentina, Belgium, Holland, Por- tugal and Italy. On the oth _the other hand, the question arises whether countries for which sterling is still soft, notably India and the countries of the Middle East, will try to beat the gun by spending their sterling balances in the sterling area during the few weeks left before July 15. == Less Germs the government to fieet current ob= ligations; saw party lines break: a side debate over a private mem ber's bill that would extend -the life of patents held by the Toronto Type Foundry Company Ltd.; heard J.

Every time you turn over, the blanket puffs a bit of an .invisible load of germs into the air. Dr. L L. S8chemeistér and Francis 8.

They reported experiments in the Navy in which both blankets and floors were treat- ed with antisspeic mixture. These measures seemed to re- duce the number of respiratory in- fections of thousands of men, pro- vided the sniffs, cough and sore throats were of mild types. When- ever, as sometimes happens, mean colds and heavy respiratory infec- tions showed up, the blanket and floor measures were of no use. The disinfectant roccal is quick death for. most germs but is not good for internal use. . It is a syn- thetic product. It keeps germs off furniture, walls, floors, bath tubs, shower room walls and' toilets. In dairies the disinfectant is us- ed as a rinse in water to keep milk '| cans 'and apparatus clean.

Army Veterans Interested In The New Army Ottawa, May 14. -- Army head- q 'today announced that more than 6,000 veterans have re- plied to a personal letter sent out recently by the Adjutant-General-- the first Army recruiting appeal since the end of the war. The replies, which continue to arrive at Army Headquartres in Ot- tawa at the rate of about 250 daily, indicate that veterans are keenly interested in new Army. Close to 50% of the applicants, on the basis of informa- tion contained in their wartime documents, are found to be capable of meeting the higher peacetime standards required, Applicants who appear suitable '| for enlistment are asked to report to 'district depots on certain dates for personal interviews and medical examinations before being finally enlisted. Army Head quarters fry to report to depots on those dates, since particular jobs can only be held open for them for a limited In addition to applications from veterans, many inquiries are arriv- ing dally at Headquarters from young Canadians without previous service, while others are applying direct to district depots for enlist- ment. : Murder Climaxes Shedden Party JOHN W.

It has the approval of the government though the bulk of necessary funds is being supplied privately. The major effort will be borne by an "atomic train" leaving Lon- don early in September for 55 pro- vincial towns and cities. Scientists touring with the train will lecture on basic physics and the train will carry exhibits to illustrate these lectures. Schools, Theatres Coinciding with the departure of the atomic train, Britain's schools and theatres will receive a motion picture explaining the development of atomic research. A third development concerfis the British Atomic Scientists Associa- tion, 'sponsors of the atomic train. They are sending lecturers to small organizations such as wom- en's institutes, educational associa- tions and trade unions, to answer questions and explain the govern- ment's drive to release atomic en- ergy for industrial purposes. "Let's Chat" The model for these, "let's chat about the atom" talks was laid down with government approval three weeks ago, when top-ranking scientists from Britain's No. 1 atom station at Harwell, Berkshire went into the tiny village hall to tell vi- agers about the work going on in their midst. Unjustified Prosecutions Are Charged Kingston, May 14--(CP)--Prose- cution by the Crown of "the lame, the halt and the blind," was bitter- ly scored in magistrate's court here yesterday, by W. F. Nickle, one- time Attorney-General for Ontar- j0, He was representing 79-year- old A. T. Henderson, R.R. 1, Wolfe Island, one of two men charged with failure to file income tax re- ports for 1945. "I wish all people here would realize to what a bea- urocratic government can come," Mr. Nickle said. Magistrate James B. Garvin said he "had no alternative" but to fine persons sp charged $25 if found guilty. Henderson and Roy Hartwicke, Tichborne laborer, both pleaded guilty. Convictions were registered but. the men were remanded ufitil called upon. This means neither is required to pay the fine until, and if, the court orders them to re-appear. Mr. Nickle said Henderson had been taken out of a sick bed and had not been out of the house since Christmas, Northminster Men Hear Knox Pastor --Annual Banquet About 50 men attended the Northminster Men's Club annual banquet held Monday night in the church basement. The table were tastefully decor- ated by the members of Mrs. D. P. Scott's and Mrs. Fred Hansel's W. A. Groups and the dinner brought many favorable comments from those present. Following the dinner, the minis- ter, Rev. B. 8. Morewood, led in a sing song which carried much hu- mor as well as rhythm and har- mony. Rev. H, F. Davidson of Knox Presbyterian Church spoke on "The power of the spoken word." He told how the spoken word could be eniptpy: and without meaning, the purpose being to pull the wool over the listeners' eyes while the main issues are avoided for obvious reas- ons, W. R. Singleton thanked the speaker and the evening concluded with a movie, "The History and Progress- of Big League Baseball." HURDLING HARES Jackrabbits have been known to "Mom and Dad" Educational Film Presents Truths giene special, opened its widely publicized en- gagement at the Biltmore Theatre on Monday and was witnessed by three capacity audiences Monday and yesterday. So shocking were the truths-it tells and so fearless were the facts it presents, each audi applauded enthusiastical- ly at the close of the presentation. "Mom and Dad" is the stary of the Blake family of Ceaterville--an average American family living the ups-and-downs of modern life in an average American town. There is nothing tricky and clever about the stary -- millions of families have read it -- but its true greatness hinges on the fact it is so human, so real, and so important. Every town has a Sarah Blake-- a Dan Blake and many Joans and Daves. But not every town has a forward-looking school teacher like Carl Blackburn. Here is a story of delinquency that "hits the mail on the head." It's the story of a fine, pretty young girl whp made "just one" mistake, It points out the idiocy of parents today trying to keep their growing boys and girls innocent - through ignorance. "It can't be done," maintains Carl Blackburn, the popular teacher-- and it can't. "Mom and Dad" is a powerful well-told story with a definitely fine moral for both young people and parents alike, But where most films stop, leaving the solution of many important matters to the in- dividual's imagination, "Mom and Dad" is just really starting to pour out the most emphatic lesson in cinema history. "Delinquency can't be stopped by punishing it--but only by prevent ing it," shouts Teacher Carl Black- burn to his superintendent when he learns he has been "fired" because he dared to tell his high school boys and girls the true facts about e., The following series of events proves the teacher right and when the whole town begs him to return to his old job and teach the young people social and moral hygiene the nurses on duty in the theatre start preparing for those who may soorr faint. Nurses are in attendance at all performances to assist those who many find this film more than they can "take." Bold Facts Strike Audience Oshawa audiences have proven no exception either, several women and a greater number of men, hav- ing found the shocking truths and bold facts as presented in this educational film, more - than they could "take," both at Monday and Tuesday showings. 'Prof. Blackburn invites outstand- ing medical authorities to the school and these doctors bring along with them medical films that open everyone's eyes. The vital subjects of conception, birth and venereal diseases are openly and frankly portrayed and discussed. Nothing is left to the imagination and there is no one in the theatre-- regardless of profession or age-- who doesn't gain tremendous knowledge of these subjects from these most unusual films. The story moves on rapidly to a powerful climax and aside from the outburst of applause by each audi- ence yesterday, hundreds of patrons went to the trouble to personally compliment ' the theatre manager, Mr. Leon Osier, on so wonderful and educational a program. Commentator on Stage Elliot Forbes, noted hygiene com- mentator, appears in person on the stage during each performance. His brief 15-minute discourse on today's statistics and hygienic subjects in general is a most interesting and enlightening added feature, Forbes' splendid personality and his excel- lent voice, along with his uncanny ability to mix clean laughs with cold facts and maintain perfect audience interest earns him the re- spectful attention of everyone in the theatre. Segregated Audiences "Mom and Dad" is shown to seg- regated audiences only. Perform- ances for women and high school- age girls are at 2 and 7 p.m. each day. Shows for men and high school boys are at 9 o'clock each evening. The engagement here of the famous attraction which is at- tracting record crowds at the Bilt- more Theatre, will likely close on Friday. Every mother and her growing daughter, as well as every father and high school-age son, should witness it. ONIONS AND ART Regina-- (CP)-- Onions and art don't mix, Col, F. J.

Among the younger workers there is high enthusiasm. They are putting everything they have into the job and striving with almost religious fervor to achieve the goal of a completely communist state. Discontent But several foreign diplomats in Moscow who know Russia well and with whom I had long falks during a month there say di.conttent is developing among workers past 35 years of age. Some Russians hinted obliquely at the same conclusion: The older people, many of whom took part in the 1917 revolution, thought they were sharing in the building of a new country and a classless state. After years of slav- ish labor the promised blessings of Socialism haven't generally appear- ed. These people have gradually become disillusioned at the fading prospects of a better life under a Communist regime. Hard to Convince ; It. is hard to convince them now that another five or 10 years of heart-breaking work will bring the goal nearer. They sge privilege growing above them and those who can -compare current conditions with those of pre-revolution find little to consile them. One leading foreigner in Mos- cow who knew pre-revolutionary Russia told me: "It is difficult to compare the present and 1946; for example, but I don't think there has been any great improvement in the standard of living of the masses." Proportion Small The 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 Com- munist party members, of course, staunchly support the regime and its economic as well as political policies. But in a population of 190,000,000 the proportion of party members is small. The disillusionment and discon- tent among older people is partly a reflection of a post-war letdown which other countries also have ex- perienced and its eventual effect is unpredictable, 3 » As Anti-Labor Say CofC Would Be: Better Advised To Back Price Cuts Oshawa and District Labor Council last night urged the local Chamber of Commerce to refuse to sponsor a Canadian Chamber of Commerce broadcast series entitled "Pattern for Prosperity." "anti-labor in character." o > Council members blasted the series as The local chamber, Harvesting Labor Trade Arranged Ottawa, May 14.--(CP) -- Labor Minister Mitchell has announced arrangements which have been in effect between Canada and the United States for the exchange of harvesting units between the Prair- ie provinces and the grain-growing states will be continued during the 1947 harvesting season. From advance information re- ceived from United States farm la- bor authorities, it appeared likely the number of Canadian harvesting outfits required in the United States this year would be "the same or slightly less" than last year, when 6 went from Manitoba, 360 from Saskatchewan and 40 from Alberta. Mr. Mitchell said it was expected a number of other exchanges of farm labor between the two coun- tries will be arranged later In the season along similar lines as last year. These probaby will include a movement of experienced tobacco to Ontario and Quebec and potato workers from the southern states and other harvesters from Canada to. neighboring districts in the United States. Labor Council Opposes Greek China Drives. Suspicious of what were termed the "reactionary regimes" of both countries, Oshawa and District La- bor Council last might bluntly re- fused to co-operate in the current drive for Greek relief and the Ca- nadian Aid to China fund. 8. H. Atkinson said the Truman Doctrine would send military sup- plies to bolster Greece and Turkey. He wanted to know why the work- ers should support measures "of that stripe." "If this money is sent through government channels, I doubt if the starving Greek or Chinese workers will see any of it," snapped M. J. Fenwick. "It seems that there's an appeal for every country that Tru- man supports. There has been no appeal for the Ukraine which suf- fered worse than any other area in the war." Greek trade union leaders had been jailed without cause, accord- ing to reports from World Federa- tion of Trade Unions headquarters, Mr. Fenwick said. Other council members agreed that there was some doubt as to whether the workers would get the benefit of the relief funds. Council approved the sending of a telegram to Premier Duplessis, protesting against the "fascist-like" treatment of pickets in the Lu- chute, Que., textile workers' strike. a letter from S. R. Alger, chairman of the civics committee, is propos- ing to present the ten-broadcast series over CKDO. Slanted Against Unions "I've read the ten scripts and the theme of almost every talk is slant- ed against unions," declared M. J, Fenwick, council secretary, "Osten~ sibly, these broadcasts are supposed to be impartial but listeners will come away thinking the poor em- ployers are at the mercy of Come munist agitators in the unions." "If the Oshawa Chamber of Com= merce is interested 4n closer rela- tions between management and la- bor, then it will refuse to broadcast this type of anti-labor propaganda," said Mr. Fenwick. He added that the chamber "would be better employed" in pro- moting full employment and a re- duction in prices. "The matter of communism fis purely academic as far as Cane adians are concerned at the mo- ment. Have businessmen so little confidence in our present capitalist system that they are hysterical on the subject of communism?" Mr, Fenwick queried. "When the unions first came into being, some of these same people said the unions were a threat to democracy," remarked William Rutherford. "Now they want to kick the Communists out of our demo- cratic unions." Blow at Labor 8. H. Atkinson said the majority of the "propaganda aimed at com- munism" was not a blow at the party itself but rather a blow "at the heart of labor." "I understand there are Commune ists in all walks of life," added Mr. Fenwick. "Why concentrate on Communists in unions? We can look after our affairs pretty well without any outside help." If the broadcasts were aired locally, labor should be given ten broadcasts as a rebuttal, he sug- gested. : Council decided to order the rec ording service of the Canadian Congress of Labor for the O.DL.C. broadcasts, Each of the CCL rec- ordings is five minutés in length and will be combined with five min- utes of local union news for the regular labor council broadcasts.
