VOICE OF THE PRESS GETTING MORE MILK Canada should be following the lead of the United States In seek- ing greater milk production from fcer cowg. Across the line, the De- partment of Agriculture has begun a campaign of more scientific dairy practice whose aim Is a four percent Increase In milk produc- tion. If the United States needs to tep up the volume of Us milk nppiv and Its objective Is to have more milk products to send to Britain then our need Is evc-n greater. The Old Land looks to thU Dominion for major portions of the powdered milk and cheese which are such Important items of British diet. While the word has fone out that we hare assured the blpment of cheese which Britain aiks of us this year, it Is kuown that she will take almost us much M we can produce, and the more attainment of the original objective ehouM cot be the signal for slack- ening off In our effort. Th": i has, perhaps, been too much of an Impression that hens and cows are producers of eggs and milk with a strictly limited c;i partly. Modern scientific agri- culture knows that there are ways of Increasing production, through proper feeding and care, and It Is tbe patriotic thing: today to get the most out of these farm ani- mals.

LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher jWltU-YUM. ft? THE WAR - WEEK Commentary on Current Events Significant Words Spoken Recently By Allied and Axis War Leaders "D'yji mind playin' little futer. . . . l\ got to meet my girl > thirty minutes." CHURCHILL SPEAKS Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill stated recently that "the war which Hitler began by Invading Poland anil which now engulfs the European Continent and has bro- ken Into the northeast of Africa, may well engulf the greater part of Asia nay It may soon spread to the remaining fourth of the glohe." If war should spread further, and break out between Japan and the United States, "Britain will de- clare war on Japan within the hour," Mr. Churchill stated. A year ago Britons were the sole champions of freeom In arms; they were Ill-armed and very much out- numbered in the air. But today the British air force Is at least equal In size and number not to speak of quality, to German air power. Now as was not the case a year ago, a large part of the United States Navy is constantly in action "against the common foe." Soon American merchant hips may be carrying supplies to the shores of Great Britain. Now the Russians are- inflicting "frightful Injury on the Germans whose armies lie on the barren steppes exposed to the approach- ing severities of the Russian Win ter." Britain's Finances "A year ago," Mr. Churchill said. "Britain did not know where to turn for a dollar. All we could do at that time was to place orders In the United States without being able to see our way through." The financial situation was met by the -passage of the lease-lend act which Mr. Churchill termed, "without question the most unsor- did net in the whole of recorded history." He hoped never a?aln to hear the taunt that "money IB the ruling power In the hearts and thoughts of the American democ- racy." Now, as In contrast to a year ago, Great Britain's Navy Is In a position "to stand with the United States against Japan." Mr. Chur- chill laid: "Owing to the effective help we are getting from the United Statee In the Atlantic, owing to the sink- Ing of the Bismarck, owing to the completion of our splendid new battleships and aircraft carriers of the largest size, I am able to go further an announce to you here that we now feel ourselves strong enough to provide a powerful naval force of heavy ships with its nec- essary ancllliary vessels for ser- vices If need In the Indian tnd Pacific Oceans." In the last four mouths British hipping losses have totalled IBS than 750.000 tons as compared with a total of 2,000,000 lost during the previous four months. Mr. Churchill stated that "Bri- tain's grain harvest this year had been 60 per cent greater than In 1939" and that coal stocks in Bri- tain wer-e "between 2,000,000 and J.000,000 tons larger than a year ago." Speaking of enemy shipping losses Mr. Churchill said that in the labt four months almost 1,000,- 000 ton* of Axis shipping had been sent to the bottom. "In the Medi- terranean the enemy's losses have been particularly severe. There 1 evidence he has found it difficult to reinforce or even supply hia armies on African shores." "We are told," said Mr. Churchill, "from many quarters that we must oon expect hat is called a peace offensive from Berlin. "\Ve owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our Russian allies, and to the government and people of the United States to make it absolutely clear that whether we are support- ed or alone, however long and hard the toll may be, the British nation and His Majesty's government at the head of the nation, in Intimate concert with the governments of the great dominions, will never en- ter into any negotiations with Hit- ler or with any party in Germany which represents tho Nazi regime. "In that resolve we're sure that the ancient city of London will be with us to the hilt and to the end." STALIN SPEAKS Premier Joeph Stalin spoke to his people on the 24th anniversary of the BolaheviPk revolution. Stalin contasted Russia today with that of the October revolution when Russia had been stripped of "the Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia the Urals, Siberia and the Far East" and had neither Allies, army nor arms and lacked bread and clothing. "Little food, no shoes, terrible Inefficiency, steady progress, great hope." In these few words, a young American photographer summed up Russia as she saw it ten years ago. Today, Premier Stalin said, Rue- sla has "no serious shortage eith- er in food, arms or clothing, while her reserves of manpower are In- exhaustible." And she has an army, navy, Allies and "the sym- pathy and support of all peoples of Europe who have fallen under the yoke of Fascist tyranny." .In the face of this, he declared, the Nazis face sure disaster. "Germany is bleeding to death, her resources giving out," Stalin said. "The German invaders are strain- Ing their last forces. There is no doubt that Germany cannot sus- tain such a strain for any long time. Another few months, another half-year, one year maybe and Hitlerite Germany must burst un- der the weight of her own crimes." The Soviet dictator made no ef- fort to hide the peril confronting the nation. He spoke of grievous losses 1,748,000 casualties in kill- ed, wounded and missing but asserted that German losses were much greater 4,500,00. (Nazi spokesmen have put Soviet losses at 4,000,000, their own at 500,000; neutral sources have estimated 3.- 000,000 Russian casualties, 2,000,- 000 German.) He admitted the de- struction of huge quantities of Sov- iet material, the forced abandon- ment of rich territories from the Baltic shore to the flat expanse of the Ukraine. Yet, he held, the Red Army had smashed the alleged Nazi notion that the U. 8. 8. R. could be defeat- ed In six weeks. "Temporary" Sov- iet setbacks, he declared, would be followed by ultimate victory. Winter weather, the weight of Rus- sian resources, the proletariat's ac- celerated output of munitions, dis- content in occupied Europe and Germany, powerful aid from abroad these he cited as factors that would spell the enemy defeat. Hitler Speaks A little over a year ago Hitler boasted that he w uld dictate peace terms to Britain In Bucking- ham Palace on August 5, 1940. Five months ago he said that he would take Moscow within three weeks of the beginning of Germany's at- tack on Russia. In his Munich beer hall annivers- ary speech, Hitler still rages but no longer boasts, yet it was only a year ago that he launched his battle of the Altantlc that was to be the end. Hitler defied Britain to attempt an Invasion of the West and de- clared his armle* could defend Germany and all of Europe despite American "threats and plans for gigantic armaments." "I have commanded German ships, whenever they see Ameri- cans, not to shoot thereupon but to defend themselves as soon as they are attacked," thus Hitler lied. The record of his U-boats alone refutes this lie as effectively as the self-defense that Germany made against the "attacks" of Aus- tria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Den- mark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia. He claimed passionately that the German people had a right to live and to battle for life. Had Hitler allowed the German people to be content to live would it now bo necessary for them to buttle for life? GOEBBELS SPEAKS Germany's Propaganda Minister Goebhels wrote in a magazine ar- ticle: "The Axis powers are really fighting for bare existence, and the worries and distress which we all must bear in the war would pale In the face of the inferno which would await us if we were to lose.'' He told the German people "not to ask when victory will come, but rather to see that it comes." Picturing the future, he said, "If we win the war, then n very till ing la won: raw materials, freedom of foodstuffs supply, Jebensraum (liv- ing space), foundation for the soc- ial rebuilding of our state, and the possibility of fulfilling the national destiny for the Axis Power* , , ." He added tliat 'if we lose it, then all that would be lost and ev- en more: namely, our national lii'-e in Its entirety." "War," he declared, "id every- thing else except a way of pawning time for soldiers. It is a hwl. hit- ter, bloody necessity which .* entire Nation faces."
