VOICE OF THE PRESS ONLY PARTLY TRUE Miss Dorothy Thompson has gien the American people some- thing to think about in her state- ment that only the United States can defeat Britain, for "If we. let England down, we shall break. her heart, and that alone could break her spirit." It is, however, true only in part."

"It "would more bitter even than Brit- ain's experiences in the field last year, when the allies on her flanks virtaally threw down their arms and left the BEF. in a trap. It would be harder to take than the defection of France, an ally turned enemy, But it would not break Britain, When Prime Minister Churchill declared that "We shall go on to the 'end, alone if necessary," and "We¢ shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be," he was the voice: of the British, people.

English, That phase of the bi-lingual problem is being overlooked in the enthusiasm to | teach French to everyone. ~ We were amazed at the num- ber of people we met in New Brunswick and Quebec who could not speak English. Grown-ups could speak only French. We wondered what people not ltav- ing some knowledge of French would. do in those communities, Many English-speaking Cana- dians are anxious to "learn French, and we believe French- speaking Canadians should also be encouraged to learn English. -- Windsor Daily Star. a Qn CANADIAN RICE Our correspondent at Trent River tells of a typical Indian en- campment on Slaughter Island where four tents are pitched for those who are taking off the an- nual crop of rice, The Indians will go in a canoe, and paddle into the rice beds. = There they bend the tops;over the canoe and with a stick beat out the rice from the tops. Primitive perhaps, 'but a very direct way. of saving the rice.

THE WAR - WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events Across Nazi - Conquered Europe The Tide of Revolt is Spreading | "In two years of war," says Fred- erick T. Birchall; "Germany has conquered and is occupying nine European countries: Poland, Nor- way, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, Czecho-Slovakia, Yugosla- via and Greece." Of the nine, Denmark and Czecho-Sloakia, did not resist In- asion, Denmark had an open fron. tier and no army; Czecho-Slova- kla's defenses had already been sold out and her partition begun' at Munich. France Is actually oc- cupied only in part, but a German dominated government at Vichy holds down the rest. So the gen- general statement stands, : Nazism: further 'dominates and controls five more countries; Aus- tria, already incorporated in the" Reich; Italy, the fascist ally whose independence has become a mere myth; Hungary, which half-heart- edly tails along with the conquer- or; Bulgaria and Rumania which | have * been literally forced into partnership, Together the fitfeen countries cover an area approximating 750, _ 000 square miles containing rough- ly 150,000,000. They constitute a vast German prison camp of. which. Hitler is chief jailer. It is the greatest prison camp of all time, .Torrent gf Unrest In every part of this vast domain is now rising a tide of unrest and disaffection expresed not merely 'In passive resistance but in active sabotago of the Ger .an war plans --slrikes, fires in warehouses, ex- plosions in factories, soverance of communications, derailment of trains and attacks on German sol dlers and German outposts, ler's Involvement.in Russia, entail. ing some weakening of the forces of occupation elsewhere, has pro- vided the opportunity and the jn.

The German conquerors . are méeting with a' corresponding wave of terrorism and repression, Arrests by the hundreds, execu. tions by the score are taking place wherever "the population shows signs --of recaleitrancy.-Jalls and concentration camps-are filled to overflowing and emergency tribu- nals meet daily to pass new sen- -tences, yet the sabotage and resist. ance continue, Dread of Winter Alongside this situation and doubtless responsible in part for its spread looms a veritably terri- fying prospect of penury and star- vation for the subject populations this Winter. Every country domi, nated by the German armies has been looted of its reserves: of do- mestic supplies to_meet German needs. Every country is on strict rations and the rations grow slim. mer as German demands increase. Another terror threatens as Win- "ter approaches, The epidemic dis- eises which are the product of insufficient food and © warmth menace the ill-fed and ill-clad con- quered peoples. Typhus is one of these diseases. It killed off 12,000, 000 Russians and one-sixth of the Rumanian "population in the last war, Tuberculosis, another prod- uct of malnutrition, is on the in. 'crease and there has been a 'steady rise in infant ° mortality throughout Europe, Unrest in Jtaly The Italians are said | to be liv. ing in fear--fear of the Germans; fear of British air raids; fear of American intervention and fear of the coming Winter. New string- ent curbs have been placed on food, ¢lothing, metal articles and coal. About 7 ounces of bread is the dally portion of each Italian. 2] - PS -Hallowe'en Party . . i . . Hermits And Cider Hallowe'en parties are always such fun that nobody cares a hoot what they have to eat, Simplest stunt is to lay in a stock of apples and nuts and old-fashioned penny candies with mottoes on them.

Britain's shipping losses have been cut two-thirds in the past three months, while "the slaughter of Axis shipping is one and one-half times that of the previous months and is increasing by leaps and bounds." - There is no despairing word in Mr. Churchill's war review, neither is there any complacency, There is no hint of collapsing" German morale or diminishing Nazi sup- plies.

WILD™ DUCK GROUPS Nazis Building "The wild ducks found on this Atlantic "Queen" continent are divided into a num- ber of groups that we shall take in order. The first group is the surface feeding ducks and' the Ontario species' of the group are blue-winged teal, ' green-winged teal, mallard, black duck, bald- pate, wood duck, pintail, gadwall, shoveller and European widgeon.

Across The Ocean In. Bomber Plane It 'len't 'Much Fun But You Will Get There In A-Hurry R. K. Carnegie, staff writer ot the Canadian Press, does not rdcs ommend flying across the Atlantie in a bomber as a pleasure trip; Thelr chief claim for consideration is that "they will get you across the Atlantic in a terrific hurry." Before the passenger gets on hg has fo sign a paper, the meaning of which is that if anything goes © wrong the passenger has no way of obtaining redress, That is not unusual as reporters. have often had to sign similar papers when going into places where they might get hurt, 5 : On: ocean lines they wilr not sell. gum in the tuck shops because they do not wish it to be parked after- ward beneath chairs and so on, The person going on a bomber is advised to chew it, and to use ear plugs or other material to plug the ears against the roaring of four huge motors, There is also the in. struction to move about as little as possible as there is ney much' space. Some of the beds Are set up high so that those who have to move about can crawl under, and Mr," Carnegle says if a passenger has not crawled for some time he will soon begin doing it on a bomber, Then it is necessary to have a - flying suit with a parka on the top which comes over the head. It is a warm and well-stuffed thing, and it {s'needed because the air is like- ly to be just around the freezing point, and there are no radiators on which one can sit and there 1s -- no stove against which one can _ prop the feet for warmth, Elsewhere there are mattresses on the floor for those who wish to sleep--or-try to sleep. Mr. Car- negie says on one trip seven crawl. ing passengers took two trips a- piece.over him during the night, No one talks because it would not be possible to hear on account of the roar of the motors. One merely lies on the 'matress and waits for the end of the trip. But it gets you "there in a hurry, and it brings you back the same way. : --Peterborough Examiner, Britain Will Get Gangsters' Guns A murderous collection of guns that figured in some of the na- tion's most sensational gangster massacres and penthouse murders soon will be shipped to Great Bri-- tain for the civilian defence fore- es.

The ruddy duck is placed _ LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher > ae - in a group by itself. The final group contains (the, mergansers and consists of ee species. The surface feeding ducks are for the most part northern breed- ing birds and appear in our wat- ers as migrants. They -might . well be called dabblers or tip-ups. © for they feed along the shore either dabbling in the water, or | - with upturned tail and head -im- »mersed, probing the bottom.
