THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., SEPTEMBER 6, 1945 The Termination Of Lend-Lease New York Times Discusses Lend-Lease Controversy In the matter of the of Lend-Lease, there are a few misconceptions, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, which ought to be cleared away, lest they trouble the good relations prevailing between two staunch allies. In the first place, it would be a profound mistake for anyone in England to read a political motive into-the action of our Government and to believe that this action was prompted, or hastened, by concern or alarm or disapproval, or by any other judgment, on the results of the British election. •Lend-Lease has not been discontinued because Britain voted Labor. It has been discontinued be- : the 1 • (iii the ; : Of organized combat) is over. There has never been the slightest reason for doubt that Lend-Lease would be discontinued when this stage was reached. Never "Something for Nothing" Meantime, on our side, there is a tendency in some quarters' (eagerly fanned by our old friends, the .professional baiters of Britain) to misunderstand . and misinterpret the British position. In these quarters it is being said that the British want "something for nothing," and are angry with us now be-«ause they will no longer get it. , Well, Lend-Lease was never ' "something for nothing." It was guns and planes in exchange for prave men who would use them in defense of our own freedom, no less than of their own. But quite aside from this, it is? clear on the record that the British Government always recognized the temporary, exclusively wartime character of Lend-Lease. Britain's Position Neither Mr. Attlee, nor any Other responsible British states-' man, has. asked for the continuation of Lend-Lease for an indefin- HOTEL METROPOLE All Beautifully Furnished With Running Water.

OTTAWA REPORTS fore ite period, for the purpose of helping Britain to get back on her feet financially. He has only raised the question of the great armies which have still not been demobilized, and asked whether "shipping and food and any other supplies still required by our (British) forces-nd by the American continue to be shed for a limited" -period under Lend-Lease and reciprocal aid agreement." Britain, in short, is not asking us to use Lend-Lease to finance her reconversion, or to promote her foreign trade, or to help solve any of her domestic problems. She has raised, strictly within the field of military matters, the question of continuing "for a limited period" the same policy of joint acti/.n that prevailed during the demobilization of the armies. On this camparatively narrow point, it ought not to be difficult to reach some mutually satisfactory agree- he origin of the town of Da-icus in Syria is unknown, but 5 believed to be the oldest city he world still inhabited. No need to wonder about synthetic tires standing up--not when you can buy Firestone DeLuxe Champions--the tires that were the famous speedway test supervised Tyy officials of the American Automobile Association. Imagine the punishment those tires took as Wilbur Shaw, the famous rt t driver, streaked over the 500-mile course to average 100.34 miles per hour . . . equal to 50,000 miles of ordinary driving. Not a skid or blowout occurred even when he stepped up to 135 miles on the straightaways! Be sure to have Firestone DeLuxe Champioi See the nearest Firestone Dealer. Immediate employment is the thought uppermost in the minds of almost 80% of Canada's ex-service men and women, interviewing officers of the Veterans Affairs Department have discovered. Of those interviewed in June almost 23% expect reinstatement in old jobs, 13.5% have new jobs waiting, 33% are hoping for employment, 6% are returning to their own businesses and 3.5% plan to return to their To date a total of $4,275,680 has been paid out to veterans in re-establishment credits. $1,596,394 has already been released for the acquisition, repair or modernization of a home, indicating commitments in this field of some $20,000,000 when all is paid out. An even greater amount, $1,616,-456 has been released to veterans for the purchase of furniture and household equipment. As the re-establishment credit may only be authorized for this purpose on the basis of two dollars credit for one dollar cash put up by the veteran, this represents an expenditure of $2,424,684 in this field since last January when the War Service Grants Act came into force. These two groups account for 75% of the total re-establishment credits authorized in the first six months of 1945. Much is being said to Canadians these days to point out the necessity of many remaining controls as well as rationing. Finance Minister Ilsley and the Chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, Donald Gordon, spoke in a Dominion-wide broadcast recently and told Canadians that victory in the Pacific is just the beginning of the end. Price control is still urgently needed-- thousands of purchasers for the limited amounts of new goods that can be put on the market. Government policy on de-control provides for continuous adjustment as supply conditions change. Of 300 orders restricting civilian production 18 months ago, only 64 remain. All of the 500 restrictions affecting metal products then are no longer in Canada is a land of plenty compared with most other countries and it is a matter of national honor that this plenty be shared, the speakers stated. The end of war with Japan does not ease the needs of hungry areas and Canadian consumption will have to be reduced. Shortage Continues On the Coal Front There is no relief in sight as jet on the coal front. Eventually (that is within three to six months) there may be some easing through release of army personnel to work in the mines. Eventually there may be some easing in supplies of substitute fuels such as coke. But for the balance of 1945, at least, and possibly later than that, the coal situation looks as tight as- it did before V-J Day. And that is tighter than in any previous winter since 1939.

Canada's Timber For British Homes The Brtish government has already earmarked around £150,-000,000 for timber from Canada for delivery following the cessation of hostilities, says the Calgary Herald. Filling of this huge order may prevent the inauguration of home building operations in this country on the scale needed but British necessity is greater than that of Canadians who have not had one home demolished by enemy action throughout the war.
