Control Of Suez Sought By Nazis Large - Blocks of French Holdings Being Absorbed By German Buyers | Financial circles in Cairo re- port that the Germans are seeking 'to acquire share control. of the Suez Canal tlirough massive pur- chase of French holdings. The reports, reaching Caire from Vichy, claimed that a certain Fritz Keller recently purchased a block of 25,000 shares from Philip -de Wendel, prominent French indus- tralist and from the heirs of the late internationally-known banker, Octave Homberg. The report said Keller was believed acting on be. half of the Goering Corporation. (Despatches eminating from are sometimes "German-in- gpired and observers conseqen y cautioned that these reports might represent a German trial balloon to sound out the general Suez - Canal situation.)

Game laws, of course, had hardly been thought of and so the first: in- crease of deer - were killed off. Greater respect for the law and better laws came about and the deer started to increase again. But another factor began to operate. "We are developing many forests in Ontario and some of these are coming to the age when they are _ not suitable for deer. In other words the deer live on the under- brush and the small trees... When the forest top becomes close and shuis out the sunlight, the under- brush and small trees disappear.

" £ aud THE WAR . WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events CHURCHILL SPEAKS Prime Minister Winston Chur. chill stated recently that "the war which Hitler began by invadi Poland and which wow engulfs the European Continent and has bro- ken into the northeast of Africa, may. well engulf the greater part of Asia--nay jt may soon spread to the remaining fourth of the globe." . y 'It war should spread further, and break out betwéen Japan and the' United States, "Britain will de- clare war on Japan - within the hour," Mr. Churchill stated. A year ago Britons were the sole champions of freeom in arms; they. were ill-armed and very much out- numbered in the air. But today "the "British alr force is-at least equal in size and number not to speak of quality, to German air power, Now as was not the case a year ago, a large part of the United States Navy is constantly in action "against the common foe." Soon American merchant ships may be éarryiug supplies to the shores of Great Britain. Now the Russians are inflicting "frightful injury on the Germans whose armies lie on the barren steppes exposed to the approach; ing severities of the Russian Win" ter." ck Britain's Finances "A year ago," My, Churchill sald, "Britain did not know where 'to turn for a .dollar.. All we could - do at that-time was to place orders. in the United States without being able to see our way through." The financial sitpation was met by the passage of the lease-lend act whioh Mr. Churchill -termed, "without question the most unsor- did act.in the whole of recorded history." He hoped never again to hear the taunt that "money is the guling power in the hearts and thoughts of the American democ- racy." B Foy Now, .as in contrast to a year ago, Great Britain's Navy is in a position "to stand with the United States against Japan." Mr, Chur- chill said: . "Owing to.the effective help we are getting from the United States in the Atlantic, owing to the sink- ing of the Bismarck, owing to the completion of our splendid new battleships and aircraft carriers of he largest size, I am able to go further an announce to you here that we now feel ourselves strong enough to provide a powerful naval force of heavy ships with its nec- essary ancilliary vessels for ser- vices it need in the Indian and Pacific Oceans." In the last four months British shipping losses have totalled less than 750,000 tons as compared with a total of 2,000,000 lost during the previous four months. 2 Mr. 'Churchill stated that "Bri tain's grain harvest this year had been 50 per cent greater than in 1939" and that coal stocks in Bri- tain were "between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 tons larger than a year ago." Speaking of enemy ' shipping losses 'Mr. Churchill said that in the ast four months almost 1,000, 000 tons of Axis shipping had been sent to the bottom. "In the Medi: terranean the enemy's losses have been particularly severe. There® i3 evidence he has found it difficult to reinforce or evén -supply his armies on African shores." .

Significant Words Spoken Recently : By Allied and Axis War Leaders Stalin contasted Russia today with that of the October revolution when Russia had been Stripped, of "the Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia the Urals, Siberia and the Far East" and had neither Allies, army nor arms and lacked bread and clothing. oe : "Little food, no shoes, terrible inefficiency, steady progress, great hope". In these few words, a young American photoggapher summed up Russia as she saw it _ ten years ago. > Today, Premier Stalin said, Rus- sia has 'no serious shortage eith- "er in food, arms or clothing, while her reserves 'of manpower are in- exhaustible." Aud she has an "army, navy, Allies and "the sym- 'pathy and support of all' peoples of Europe who have fallen under the yoke of Fascist tyranny." In the face of this, he declared, the Nazis face sure disaster, "Germany is bleeding to death, her resources giving out" Stalin sald. "The German invaders are strain: fug their last forces. There is no' doubt that Germany cannot sus- tain such a strain for any .long time. Another few months, another half-year, one year maybe and Hitlerite Germany must burst un- der the weight of her own crimes." - The Soviet dictator made no ef- fort to hide the peril confronting the nation, He spoke of grievous losses--1,748,000 casualties in kill- ed, wounded and missing -- 'but asserted that German losses- were much greater -- 4,600,00. (Nazl spokesmen have put Soviet losses at 4,000,000, their own at 500,000; neutral sources have estimated' 3,' 000,000 Russian casualties, 2,000, 000 German.) He. admitted the de- struction of huge quahtities of Sov: fet matetial, the forced abandon: ment of rich territories from the Baltic shore to the flat expanse of the Ukraine. Le © Yet, he held, the Red Army had smashed the alleged Nazi notion that the U. S..S. R. could be defeat ed in six weeks. "Temporary" Sov- fot setbacks, he declared, would be followed by -ultimate victory. . Winter weather, the weight of Rus- ~ slan resources, the proletariat's ac- celerated output of munitions, dis- content in occupied Europe and Germany, powerful aid from abroag --these he cited as factors that would spell the enemy defeat. Hitler Speaks A little over a year ago Hitler boasted that he would dictate peace terms to Britain in: Bucking: ham Palace on August 5, 1940. Five months ago he said -that he would take Moscow within three weeks of the beginning of Germany's at- tack on Russia. ? 2 In his Munich beer hall annivers- ary speech, Hitler still rages bit no longer boasts, yet it was only a year ago that he launched his battle of the Altantic .that was to be the end. Hitler defied Britain to attempt - an invasion of the West and de- clared his armies could defend Germany and all of Europe despite- American "threats and plans for . glgantic- armaments." "1 have commanded German ships, wheneler they see Ameri cans, not to shoot thereupon. but to defend themselves as soon. as they are attacked," thus Hitler lied. 'The record of his U-boats alone refutes this lie as effectively as the self-defense that Germany made against the "attacks" of Aus- tria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Den- mark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia. He claimed passionately that the - German people had a right to live and to battle for life. Had Hitler | allowed the German people 'to be content "to live would it now be necessary for them to. battle for life? : GOEBBELS SPEAKS Germany's Propaganda Minister 'Goebbels wrote in a magazine ar- ticle; "The Axis powers are really . fighting for bare existence, and the worries and distress which we all must bear in 'the war would pale=* in the face of the inferno which would await us if we were to lose." He told the German people-"not.to ask when victory will come,. but rather to see that it comes." Picturing the future, he said, "it - little is won: raw materlals, freedom ot foodstyffs supply, lebensraum (live ing space), foundation for the soc- _ ial rebuilding of our state, and the possibility of fulfilling the national destiny for the Axis Powers . ."." He added that 'if we lose it, then all that would be lost and ev: en more: namely, our national life in~its entirety." "War," he declared, "is every: thing else except a way of passing time for soldiers, It is a hard, bit. ter, bloody necessity-swhich the entire Nation feces," - 'Expert Discovers. Until' William H.
