Because water is the universal •olvent, really pure water is never found in nature, comments the Saskatchewan Farmer. To some extent it dissolves everything, even solid rock, glass, or gold. As it flows through rock strata it picks up a little of everything it touches. It dissolves carbon dioxide, producing naturally carbonated water. When it dissolves natural gas in the ground, there is the amazing phenomenon of water giving off inflammable bubbles. This solvent action of water poses staggering problems for industry. As little as one part of iron in two million parts of water can wreck a • textile mill by staining cloth. Traces of minerals upset the delicate chemistry of rayon making. Boiler scale, formed of the minerals left behind by hard water, is a costly hazard in power plants. Water hardness poses the biggest problems encountered by industry and householders alike. Hardness is governed by the quantity of calcium and magnesium compounds dissolved in water. Less than one grain (about one seven-thousandth of a pound) of these compounds per gallon makes .tain industrial i mably hard for i WORKERETTE Typifying the war-working womanhood of Great Britain, Desnit Magnus, above, was awarded title of "Miss War Worker--1944" by Sussex County, together with cup which is hers outright "because 1844 is the Victory Year" Shipping Containers Made Of Strawboard Farmers who sell their surplus .wheat, rye or oat straw to Hinde and Dauch Paper Co. in 'Irenton for manufacture into strawboard are not only helping themselves by turning their surplus straw into cash, but they are also helping the war effort tremendously. Straw is manufactured into strawboard which, in turn, is used in the manufacture of corrugated shipping containers so largely used by the Department of Munitions and Supply for shipments overseas and also for packaging necessary civilian feed and clothing. ISSUE 35--1944 JAP DRYDOCKS AND OIL DEPOTS HIT BY B-29S Map shows where American Superfortresses, in a record 3600-mile round trip from secret Chinese bases, blasted Japanese drydocks and shipways at Nagasaki on the southern tip of jap archipelago, and oil refineries and depots at Palembang, in southeastern Sumatra. The spectacular bombing is the beginning of the new offensive which American military leaders promise will bring Japan's unconditional aorrender. THE WAR - WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events Nazis Are Planning Long-Range Conspiracy Against The World It might be said that this became a Thirty Years' War with the advent of August. We wish that it might be said with historical finality--for that would mean an end in 1944 ot the world conflict which began on August 1, 1914, was interrupted by the Armistice of 1918, and was resumed on a larger scale September 3, 1939. We are inclined to be skeptical, however, about civilization's chances of getting oft with a mere Thirty Years' War. True, the Germans may get another armistice before the end of 1944; but all the signs point to German determination to make this a briefer armistice than its predecessor-- and to make the third phase of this Thirty Years' War a more violent and destructive thrust for world domination than the phases which we know as the Fi/st and Second World Wars, says The p Buffalo Plans for Next War To illustrate: Eight years ago, Henry C. Wolfe, American writer (who called the turn on the Hitter-' Stalin pact, in the face of general skepticism), sat with Erich Koch, latter's office ir is what Koch Wolfe's article, the Next War Koei the igsberg. Here according to lan Plans for the August e use will be dictated by :es. At times we may n the battlefield; at other may suffer defeats; stronger than yoi No^ shall s that the Rue Koch's words sound like empty boasts--but were they? Wolfe apparently doesn't think so. Economy of Europe Scrambled "As part of their long-range conspiracy against the democratic world," says Mr. Wolfe, "the Nazis have scrambled the economy of Europe entirely." They have destroyed the accumulated capital and business structures of the Occupied countries. They are employing the scorched earth policy aimed at leaving the evacuated lands so impoverished as to postpone and perhaps to prevent economic recovery entirely. Their depopulation policy which employs every ruthless method of decreasing the birth rate and destroying established populations--by starvation and the uprooting of millions of people and settling them far from their native lands--is calculated to leave a debilitated generation in the rest of Europe facing a healthy and vigorous German generation, he warns. "Once the war is over," writes Mr. Wolfe, "the Nazis reason that jobless millions will be demanding employment, and the Germans will be ready to step in and say: 'We have the plans. Not all our machinery was destroyed by bombs. Give us the manpower and the raw materials and we shall produce for the world markets. That will mean employment and finished goods for all. We'll all prosper by this arrangement." To Offer Dynamic Leadership The Nazis, reports Mr. Wolfe, expect to finance their post-defeat activities with money and other assets hidden in neutral countries. They bank on our failure to cope nt, economic stag-s 'conflicts. They vithin the ranks ■ cs find that tlier the v Then when the turn 'to the " leadership" offered by the Germans. This arrangement would ensure a highly industrialized Reich surrounded by dependent agrarian neighbors.'

M. Macdonnell, former head of the National Trust, argued before the London Rotary Club last week. Other men turned to that party, he said, "only because they distrust the business community -- what it has done and what it can do." Bluntly Mr. Macdonnell stated: "That's the simple, unpleasant fact. They distrust us and regard us as selfish and incompetent." That distrust, Mr. Macdonnell, attributes to the CCF's constant campaign of fear -- an unfounded , and ridiculous fear that the war must necessarily be followed by While some may think that Mr. Macdonnel is too sweeping in his declaration that business is so widely distrusted, most of us will agree wtih the remedy he suggests, says The Financial Post. Mr. Macdonnel says: "Thats the way we are being pictured. The task is clear. We have to convince men like that that capitalism is not for the benefit of the few, that wages, jobs must corn* first, and that taxation can guard against undue profits. We have to convince them that under our system while there will be full opportunity for those with energy instinct -- the ; large and small -- to con-ddirg to the nation's wealth [tie past, there will also be Safeguards against exploiter ;|that there will be justice and the Edis.
