printing neatly execu- fttd t the herald office what other papers say how the huns repay their benefactors hendiik wulem van loon historian and biographer in a letter to the new york herald tribune revealed a little of how the nazis made such a de vastating attack behind the linen of nis native country the netherlands he wrote listen america here is something you ought to know after the last war the people of the netherlands took care of a hah a million german child ren received them in their homes fed hem clothed them and kept them for one two or four years that they might be restored to normal health and twenty years later these nice dear children speaking of course perfect dutch had they not been full fledged members of a dutch household for years returned to the land of their hospitality garbed one of those 50000 dutch uniforms about which our eottespondenu have been cabling for months but again nobody would believe them and thus ly disguised those grateful little oer mane now completely con laminated with the nazi virus burned down the hr uses and struck down the hands that had fed them and saved their lives but america wont listen and america won t believe until 11 will be too late and the vermin nan eaten its way into the fabric of our own edifice of state and for this letter i will be colled a warmonger and the nazi boys will smile slyly and say just becauso we burned down his own birthplace he is perhaps just a little hysterical which ood forbid lindbergh milton champion last sunday night charles ltnd bcrgh told the american people over the radio that they had nothing to fear from events in europe provided they build enough bombers he said the country should continue to re main neutral no quisling could have done a smoother job of hun propa ganda he is certainly earning the nazi medal bhat hitler gave him but then again perhaps he isnt for his popularity in the united states has fauen so low and his reputation for smug selfsatisfaction has risen so hgh that whatever he says against thea w q l work- otrt- in their favor the new york time has sized sun up correctly colonel undbergh is a peculiar young man if he can contemplate de feat of the alues to any other light than as a calamity for the american people he is an ignorant young man if he trusts his own premise that it makes no difference to lis whether we are deprived of the historic defence of british sea poorer in the a1 ocean he is a blind young man if he really believes that we can live on term of equal peace and happiness regardless of which side wins the tu in europe in the n e w s of the week world war developments have rush at us ji canada with such speed in the past few days it is not easy for any one of us to translate lhe de clopmenl into the effect they have ir will have on all of us as citizens of the dominion ono month ago there were casual references to a possible invasion of england but such a possibility teem ed m remote at that time none gave it much consideration but with the passage of only a few days we now hear of gigantic plans being rushed in ejiglond to combat an invasion home forces are being organized to deal with german parachute troops aliens are being rounded up parliament in one day passed legislation empowering the government to carry out sweeping con scriptlon of the nation s resources la bor wealth and industry in case such a drastic step was forced on the coun try freedom is in pawn until victory is achieved in the words of one brl llsh commentator as hitler s baby killers stamped through holland and

industrial output because of its geographical situation canada will likely be able to proceec in the grim task of war without con- fusion without being forced to sta mlt to totalization as complete as hitlers not even in england is it yet necessary to take over newspapers manufacturing plants banks ary toe whole economic system coordinate tourist effort the greatest tourist trek in world history is now starting at eery port of entry american visitors will short come across the border to see canada and canadians at war to get thelr extra day in ten free of charge to lslt anl revisit our cities lakes and play grounds there h no need to stress the rea sons why this jenrs tourist business is a vital part of canada s war ef fort for one thing we must have american dollars to fight the war since we con no longer borrow money in the u a the american dollars our lo irtst lsltors will exchange at the border jo pay for their canndlnn holi di will be a major source of funds with which to pa for essential raw materials which uncle sam sells us another potent reason is that by being in tt rpreters as w ell as good hofls to these 15 or 20 million visitors we can immeasurably aid die allied cause how ore we going to be sure these american visitors will come in record breaking numbers how are we going to be sure canadians do their part to llscuss th issues at stake when they arrive how are we going to make sure that our cabins and faclll lies meet reasonable standards of com fort and cleanliness the federal government each pro vlnclal government and scores of mun idpalttles already have their own tra vel or tourist bureaus other inter ested agencies the railways oil com ponies hotel and steamship firms are equally busy sowing the seed which they hope will bring rich harvest what seems to be lacking is a na tionwlde coordinated effort to bring home t the man in the street jo these men were coopted from their peacetime occupations the will en list the serrices of thousands of men and a omen in every walk of life to put over this phase otthe natton-s- war effort a slmlltr organization seems neces sary to make canada tourist conscious in terms of the opportunities and re sponsibilitles which lie at hand such body should coordinate the work of existing agencies it should enlist the support and interest of every citi zen in doing his or her part to put tourism in canada oer the top financial post community leaders to service clubs employers and employees to the local innkeepers and tourist camp proprie tors the fact that the tourist business in 1m0 is just as much a part of the country a war effort as the making of shells or growing of wheat a few days ago ottawa announced another national effort wtuch seems to parallel closely the tourist situation -a-

asked why we have not filled every factory in canada with orders for wr equipment regardless of tiie cost it must be remembered that can ndas army in britain and france al though commanded by canadians forms part of the british army and has no separate lines of communica tion therefore it is practically a necossily that our equipment be inter changeable itli british equipment thii means tiiat the armament of our troops must 1 trgcly be built to british btandarda and that british designs must be followed one of our chief difficulties lias been to obtain the lat est british designs for mechanical equipment used by our troops in com mon operations british industry has not been too willing to part with these designs many of which repre sent year of study and development b private manufacturing firms since the defence purchasing board was established in july 1939 the de partment of munitions and supply and its predecessor boards have pur chased 225 000 000 worth of equip ment

making a total m orders placed of about 9300 000 000 in doing so they have plac- edeome 17000 separate contract throughout april contracts were be ing awarded at an average rate of 13s dally each of these contracts has been awarded by tender except thosrv relatively few in number where it was impossible to obtain competl uve frkfrflng or in cases where tne full output of an industry is required
