VOICE OF THE PRESS SEA HARVEST When we think of our potenti- alities for feeding the Empire, we houtd not forget our fisheries. Reports that come 85,000 men In Canada are still engaged In this industry stress the Importance, which has grown even greater since the war began, of this source of food. Her* Is a field In which we excel. On both our ocean coasts are great supplies of fish, healthful and nourishing, and to be had for the effort of taking them from the water. This Is no mean effort, of course, and our fishermen are moo* our hardiest and bravest citizens. They have always faced the dangers of rough waters and winds and today they cheerfully go out to meet still another men- ace, which la a very real one, be- cause enemy air and naval craft bT* demonstrated that they are only too eager to prey on the flsti- tag boats. Our men, however, carry on, and th.- continue to contribute Impor- tantly to our great food produc- tion. Windsor Dally Star.

GOOD NEIGHBORS It is In tbe rural districts that one apj reclates tbe value of good neighbors. The family "next door" may live a mile away but the rural rtwr-ii. . knows that they stand ready to lend a helping hand In any emergency. They will be there to comfort one In bereavement, to lend kindly aid In the sick-room, to lend a willing hand at tbe tew- ing hee or the harvest. One may not have many friends or neigh bora In the country, but they en- tried and true. The happiest mo- ments of farm life are those spent In the company ot the folks from the next farm or the. next oono.i i- slon. A farmer once explained his philosophy of life: "I hnve always lived in the country. I have a good farm, a contented wife and good neighbors. My neighbors are my bent friends. I know that when I am iu need they will help me. They have stood by me In the last, and I have stood by them. I still hav neighbors; will still have pl(nt\ :-ti!ling Ni'w.'-Argus.

THE WAR - WEEK Commentary on Current Events Battle Of The Road To Moscow One Of The Mightiest In History "This Is a sombre hour, dark with fate. Russia face* the great- eat gathering of savage power the world has ever known. Finland, Rumania, Hungary, Italy and Ger- many all over, banded together In murder, theft and arsc'i. sneaking through the world, conquering and torturing one nation after another, until all mankind Is broken and bowed In a martyrdom unparallel- ed In history. Now Russia's armies are In dire peril, but the morale of their people la unbroken. There Is * strong determination that cannot b trampled down, an army of men united under one banner with ability to defend themselves and conquer their enemies. We have before us the spectacle of splendid sacrifice, homes blasted, hearth- stones torn up, farms devastated. We will forego food from abroad If the ship!! are needed for Russia. Shadows we will endure with them and sunshine we will share with them. Stalin must be sustained. The Soviet Union must b en- abled to enter the spring cam- paign with adequate supplies of all munitions of war, over every- thing, tanks, anti-tank guns, air- oraft and anti-aircraft guns. These are the promises we made to Stalin In Moscow In your name. These are the pledges that we shall carry out!" So spoke Lord B&averbrook In reporting on the recent Anglo- American aM-to-Russia mission In Moscow. Thrust On Moscow Last week Moscow was the goal of the heaviest assault of the 16- weeks-old Russo-German war. What Adolf Hitler had proclaimed as "an operation of gigantic pro- portions" was hammering colossal blows at the capital's defenses of men, machines and fortifications. In a campaign described as the "mightiest battle In history," gome 9,000,000 men were locked In a sanguinary conflict along a 1,000- mlle front In a drive on Moscow. On the approaches to the capital 8,000,000 Germans were said to be pitted against a slightly less num- erous army of defenders. Over an undulating terrain of forest and plain, muddled by rain and mow, through gutted towns and villages, swept the Inferno of mechanized war. Stakes of War The stakes were high. In a "sec- ret" order to his troops Just be- fore the Moscow attack was launched on Oct. 8, the Fuehrer had called for "a last mighty blow that shall crush this opponent be- fore Winter sets In." In these words observers saw a desperate gamble by the Gorman High Com- mand for a decisive victory before subfreeztng weather and deep snows bogfjcd down operations on the Russian front. The main ele- ments of such a victory, It seemed clear, would be: (1) destruction of the Russian force before Mos- cow, which Berlin communiques described as the "last" organized unit of the Red Army; and (2) cap- ture of the capital Itself; si:ch success, It was hoped, would un- dermine Rtirslan morale and secure Nazi control over the hub of Sov- iet governmental machinery. Behind the Immediate German objectives lay the larger ones *f MEN ARE PLACED BY RADIO COLLEGE Denuutdl for radio men have resulted In the Radio College of Canada supplying one large New York corporation with four different groups of graduates, and the college is now lining up its fifth assignment. This meant that to several graduating classes of the Radio College of Canada, long before examination time, lucrative Mar- ine positions have been offered those desiring to go to sea. The men chosen for the New York Corporation are placed on the company's pay roll Immediately at $80 per month, and as soon as they sign their articles they are paid $160 per month, American funds. The graduates selected are flown to New York from Canada, with all expenses paid. The college states that there are also many opportunities with government services throughout Canada for which starting rate Is $110 per month. the Russian campaign. Defeat of tbe armies of Joseph Stalin would free Hitler for a full military drive against Britain In the West. Seiz- ure of Soviet resources would give the Reich the materials to beat the British blockade and keep ahead of the Anglo-American armament effort. On the other hand, a Nail failure, might mark the war's turn- Ing point, toward ultimate German exhaustion and defeat. Advances Recently Hatted When the German armies hurled onward Into Russia last June the hardest thrust was aimed at Mos- cow. Smolensk, the traditional gateway to the Russian capital through which Napoleon's soldiers passed In 1812, fell In early Aug- ust. Somewhere beyond that bomb- blasted, burned city roughly 300 miles from the German frontier and still 200 miles from Moscow the blitz was blunted. Strong Rus- sian counter-attacks held, then roll- ed ba<-k the Panzer forward units. The Germans Increased the pressure on the north and south flanks of the battleground. A sweep up the Baltic shore wa directed at Leningrad, the Soviet's second city. Its foremost Baltic port, a Tital shipbuilding and factory cen- ter. The advance was halted last month by fierce resistance on the olty'a outskirts, a resistance re- ported last week to be pushing back, the Nazi "besiegers." Most Impressive of Nazi gains were those registered on the south- ern wing, In the Ukraine, the rlcb farming, mining and Industrial region publicly coveted by Hitler. Having taken Kiev, the Soviet's third largest city, having overrun the land west of the Dnieper and penetrated to the Crimea and the threshold of the Donets basin, Nazi forces In the Ukraine appear- ed to be poised for a further mov toward the strategic city of Khar- kov and the Caucasian oil fields. Action In this vital sector was overshadowed by the renewed push toward Moscow. A People's War That battle along the highway to Moscow Is one of the most am- azing conflicts of history. The Ger- man soldiers youths who have been trained to the fine edge of athletes are sacrificing them- selves with that courage whlcb al- ways has characterized the race. The perfection of the Invading war-machine Is amazing. Even more amazing Is the fact that It can be stopped. And the manner of Its present holding Is an epic, for we find civilians now fighting side by side with their soldiers In defense of country and the soil they love. The Germans assert that the Russian war is virtually over that the Reds already are crushed. It may be, indeed, that the Musco- vites have been so wpakened that they are on the verge of collapse. Only time will demonstrate that. It Is not be-lleved, however, that the Reds are beaten. They are ex- pected to suffer further reverses. Moscow may fall, and the whole Russian line may be driven back even behind the mighty defenses of the Ural Mountain chain. But the only thing that might knock them clear out of the war, Is a collapse of morale. It would be difficult to find any signs of weakening morale in a Red fight- Ing front in which civilians- humble folk who know nothing of the part of war and never have been far from the little farms where they were born are facing onslaughts which are hard even for the professional soldier to face. Russia Draws On Reserve The Russians report they are drawing on their great reserve in man-power to e-aao the position on the central front. These troops cannot be expected to have the weight of the fully trained vet- erans already In the line, but they will tase the Red situation con- siderably. There are millions more where they come from, as the Soviet re- cently called up the military class of 1922 nineteen year olds for military service. At the same time there was Inaugurated the uni- versal compulsory military train- ing program whipli contemplates the largest peoples' army In his- tory, Involving all men from 16 to 50. This doesn't sound as though the Russians were finished. As a mat- ter of fact the Germans themselves appear to have doubts since an authoritative source in Berlin re- cently acknowledged that the Reds might be able to set up now forces during the winter. That would mean a two-front war for Hitler. It Is Important not to overlook the Japanese. They are watching tbe German progress intently. There can be small doubt tint Hitler Is doing his utmost iu show- manship and diplomacy and strong- arm pressure to bring the Nip- ponese Into conflict with Britain, America or Russia. Tokyo doesn't warm up to the Idea of war with the U. S. A, or England but col- lapse of the Russian front might easily result In a Japanese attack on Siberia. There are 828,000,000 undefeated citizens of the British Common- wealth, the United States and Rus- sia who, with China's 458,000,000, are working to bring about the de- feat of Hltlerism. Is It any wonder that Japan he-skates to cast in her lot with Hitler against that form- idable array of man power and the resources of their mighty coun- tries? War Now Brings "M essengerettes' ' The Viking Spirit They tell the story in N'orway about a boy who was looking at the famous Viking ship in the Outdoor Museum at Bygd near Oslo when some German officers came in to look around. They were much impressed by the well- preserved old craft and emitted many a "Wunderbar!" and "Don- nerwetter!" "So you like our Viking ship, do you?" queried the lad. "Yes, It is magnificent." "Well, we used to take Eng- land every Spring with uch boats." Phc One thing to be said about the "Messengerettes" s er v i n g Canadian National Telegraphs in many Canadian cities, IB that they do not whistle.
