1 TAKING HEAVY TOLL IN FORCED WITHDRAWALS Hardened troops like these, of the crack Manchester Regiment, are taking a heavy toll of Jap Invaders on the beaches and in the jungles of Malaya. At one time many Canadians were with the Manchester*. A two-way Japanese offensive is pushing south towards Singapore and north into Burma. Creed of Nazism Vs.

Not long ago Berlin eunllliil a despatch to quota from BOW German best seller la which MM assertion is made that "We Germans have been called by fata to be the first to break with Chris- ttaaity."

It Is the ideal of all civilized men today, however tar It may he from realization In the individual or communal life. In the non-Nail part of the world It does not need defence. One would think that the consciously clever Nazis, however foul their actual purposes, would pay Up service to It But they do not.

There are *ree reasons tor this: U) Mae Mcfct of the 1,350,000 Frenoh rtoooers (till held by the Oer- MUM. (2) the eHfect of ' i food kortage on children, and (S) the effect ot rationing on adult*. La Washington, Ambassador Gas- ton Henry-Haye complained re- cently that the French prisoners received no extra ration* from home via the International Red CroB! as the 60,000 British pris- oners do, and have scarcely enough to eat. In Vichy, a spokesman blamed the detention of the pris- oner* for a 40 per cent decrease in the birth rate and predicted that "at this rate the French will disappear in twenty yean." At th same time Vichy laiued a ir!ts of alarming statistic* that reinforced the envoy'* plea. Some U per cent of it* kindergarten chil- dren were 111 from privation, while Infant mortality had trlppled dur- ing the first half of 1941. French bable* now average only five pounds at birth and te<i-yar-olds welch fourteen pound* les* than British children of the same age. Bimllar conditions malnutrition and the lack of medicine, fuel and warm clothlnc prevailed among adult* and sent the death rate for the first five month* of 1941 up 43 per oent among people over (0 and U per cent among those under 60. The German* provided the final Irony. Recently six famous FarU reitauranta, Maxim's, Fouquet'*, Tour-d'-Argent, Laperouse, Drou- ant, and Carton, were freed of food restrictions. A meal there, without wine, cost* tue equivalent of about 17.60 or higher a price that only Nazi* can afford. Boats For Britain Great War Order A writer in the Toronto Finan- cial Past gives a vividly encour- aging picture of Canada's "Boat* for Britain" program. Briefly, thi* i* ft: Cargo ships: 153 ordered, 7 launched, estimated cost $276 million*. Corvettes: 135 ordered, 77 launched, 40 delivered, . esti- mated cost $81 millions. Uine- sweepen: 86 ordered, 59 launch- ed, 40 delivered, total cost $51 millions. Destroyers: 2 ordered. Wood boats: $9 million program over 60 percent, complete. Thus Canada'* greatest war order and, in tome respects, the finest part of her war effort.

How many square feet of skin do you have on your Arctic Frontiers Ideal Battlefields Advantages In Arctic Cam- paigning Would Be With De- fenders The United States did exactly right In moving Into Greenland and Iceland before the Nazis had a chance to attempt It, and in mak- ing secure our bold on Alaska by means of new army and navy buses In Alaska, If the views expressed recently hi Philadelphia by Vilh- Jalmur Stefansson, noted Arctic explorer, are correct, Science Ser- vice maintains. Dr. Stefansson de- clared that Uie Arctic regions, far from being an area Impossible for winter fighting, are almost ideal battlegrounds for properly trained and equipped troops. The time when manoeuvring in the Arctic would be really difficult Is in summer. Then, the vast level stretches of marshy ground, threa- ded by wide, shallow rivers and dotted with Innumerable lakes, would be veritable troop-traps, es- pecially for mechanized forces. But in winter, wueu the land is frozen and the lakes covered with deep ice, ttgntlng vehicles on wheels and tractors and ski-equipped airplanes can get about with greatest facil- ity. The Far North, despite wide- spread impressions to the contrary, does not have a worse winter cli- mate than many parts of the Northwestern United States and adjacent provinces of Canada. In fact, many Arctic lands have rela- tively mild winter climates. Ice- land, which lies below the Arctic Circle, and Spltzbergen, which is well above it, are kept "air con- ditioned" by branches of the Uull Stream. Advantages in Arctic campaign- ing would lie with the defenders. By adopting the "Indian fighter" tactics used by the Finns when they were resisting Russian invasion id the winter oX 1939-40 defenders at * almost any Arctic terrain could de- feat greatly superior numbers of invading troops. But if the Arctic frontiers were not defended, the great rivers like the Mackenzie and U Yukon would fora great high- ways for easy Inland marches. Work of RedCrots Covers Wide Field Mr. Justice P. H. Gordon, Chairman of the National Execu- tive of the Canadian Red Cross, in an address recently, gave many people a now conception of the work his organization is doing comments the Windsor Star. It is a subject on which there is great lack of information, and on which the public should be in- formed. To many people, the Red -Cross is simply an organization that sends bandages and similar medi- cal supplies to the war zone. It is, of course, much more than that. It does work that is under- taken and can be accomplished by no other organization. Its service in keeping prisoners of war in touch with their relatives, and in furnishing them with food and other comforts, for instance, would be sufficient for any asso- ciation, but it is on!., one of nia-iy activities of the Red Cross. That it is engaged in tracing eight mil- lion people in occupied countries for their relatives will come as a surprise to many. These are just examples of the unique services performed, and they demonstrate how greatly this organization deserves the support of all the people. Nazis Hoist By Their Own Petard Can you imagine this? Fact, nevertheless. Seems Hitler pre- sented Mussolini with a squadron of Stuka dive bombers and th* squadron promptly ran out of jyas just as it was flying over British- held territory in the Middle East; and. quite naturally, it being im- possible to scuttle an airplane without unpleasant consequence! to the skipper and his crew, the Stukas fell right into the har.ds of the British and they have been flying some of them ever sineo, Italian insignia and all. Wonder what the Luftwaffe thinks when it sees a German plane with the Italian insignia flown by the R.A.F.?
