Quebec, surveyed the whole sweep of the war with serene confidence, Calling' the Mediterranean -bat- tlefield the "third front," the Prime Minister told the House of Commons that the second front "already exists potentially" and "already is rapidly gathering weight. . . . The second front ex- ists and is a main preoccupation already 'with the enemy." "It has not yet been thrown into play," he continued. 'That time is coming. "At what we and our American Allies judge to-be the right time this front will be thrown open and a mass invasion of the Continent from the west will begin." The British Government, he de- clared, "will never be swayed or overborne by any uninstructed agitation, however natural, or pressure, however well meant," and "will not be forced or cajoled into undertaking vast operations against our better judgment in "order to gain political unanimity ans A from any quarter." i "7 Saturation Point 1944 ~~~ For such an undertaking, he warned, will be the beginning of the "bloodiest portion of this war that still lies ahead for Great Britain and the United States." And if these statements suggest delay in "opening another land front, that impression is further heightened by his emphasis on the continuation of the air war to the "saturation , point" in 1944, and by his coupling of the new front with the impending conference of the Foreign Secretaries of Great Britain, Russia .and the United - States, and with the hope of a meeting between President Roose- velt, 'Marshal Stalin and himself "before the end of this year." Surrerider A Windfall The date on which the Italian - fnvasion originally had been planned, he told the House, was September 15, but it was moved up to September 9, "as the re- sult of "debjsions taken before ' _the fall of Mussolini." "The Italian surrender was "a Windfall," he said, "but it had nothing to do with the date of harvesting the orchard.' 'Mr. Churchill drew careful dis- tinction between the German and the Italian people with respect to postwar settlement, and made . {t clear that Prussian 'militarism must:beswiped out-completely and finally, , He termed the Naples invasioh "the "most daring amphibious op- eration we have yet launched or which I think ever has : been launched on a similar. scale in the war." . .- He explained that the Allies 'could not have gone farther north unless they had dispensed with ald from siiorc based -aitcrafi=-- a fact which the Germans must ~have known. - Even in landing at Naples, he said, Allied forees were depend- ent '"to_an _ important extent" upon carrier-borne aircraft in which the Allies are _becoming stronger and stronger. Invasion Minutely Planned Mr. Churchill's calm descrip- tion of the minute and exact planning that had gone into the Italian campaign--it was a com- plete answer to critics in the same forum .where he had met and mastered so many previous criti- cisms, 4 The Prime Minister told the Commons that the Mediterranean campaign is not "a substitute for a direct attatk across the Chan- nel on the Germans in France and the Low Countries"--that. he - never has regarded it as such. "On .the contrary," he said, "the opening of this new front in the Mediterranean. was ..-al. ways intended to bean essential preliminary to the main attack : upon Germany and her ring of subjugated and satellite states." AT, Elimination of Italy He disclosed, however, that he and President Roosevelt set Italy's eliminatior. from the war as their principal objective when they met in Washington last May and added that no one "would have . expected it to have been so rapld- ly achieved." Turning to the air war, the Prime Minister announced that weight of bombs dropped on Ger- many in the past yeargvas threes times that of the preceding 12 months and .that the United States and British aircraft sup- ply now exceeds that of Germany by more than four to one. 4 Saying that the almost tota destruction of German war cen- tres was continuing on a great scale, Mr, Churchill that the percentage of plane losses to the R.A.F. In the first eight months of 1943 was less than 'the same period last year, He announced also thateduring the four months ending tem. ber 18 not a single merchant vessel was lost by enemy action in the North Atlantic and that enemy U-boats had not.sunk one Allied ship anywhere in the world during thes first two weeks of September, disclosed ETN srry kandy g ah dw Ede ct ar Gad Hm le Be bwin dt Sb 3 BoE yet 33 lp pe whe VOICE OF THE WRITING OVERSEAS The real danger is from well- {ntentioned letters which impose anxieties upon the men in the Canadian services, especially when "these are sent: to men overseas.

'A few weeks -ago a secretary of the Chinese Embd¥sy in London made the astonishing statement that, since the begin- ning of the war with Japan, some 46 million of China's illiterafes had learned to read through the mass education movement. The foundation of this system is a selection of a thousand most com- menlv used words, which the pupils are taught to read and write, and the method is purely inductive, with no rules of gram- mar to bother about.

Shearwood The travels of Bishop Newn- ham in northern Canada began with a voyage by sea of 659 days from Stromness, Scotland, to Moose Fort in James Bay, through the treacherous ice fields of the Arctic Ocean and Hudson Bay. From 1891 to 1904 this indefa- tigable young. man travelled thousands of miles by canoe and portage; on foot and on snow- shoes; by dog train and ship, vis. iting the outposts of his enormous Missionary Diocese of Moosonce. * These trips are vividly describ- ed, demonstrating forcibly the courage. the strength of mind and body which were necessary in undertaking them. In these days when the aeroplane has made such trips a thing of the past, it is stimulating to rcad how less than fifty years ago travelling in northern Canada was such a perilous and arduous undertaking. In January, 1901, Bishop Newn- ham snow-shoed 200 miles in seven days, on another occasion 890 miles in seventeen days, from Moose Fort to the Hudson's Ba post through Abitibi to Mattawa. The book pays high tribute to the skill and industry of the Crge Indians. and to the great assistance given the Church by the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1904 Bishop Newnham was trans. ferred to the Diocese of Saskat- chewan, and after his retirement settled in Hamilton, Ontario. "This book is a tribute not only _ tp him, but to the countless peo- ple of Canada's northland who have laboured so long and so "untiringly in its development.

Kiel lies at the eastern terminus of the £100,000,000 Kiel canal, which stretches across the peninsula south of the Danish border to form a link with battered Hamburg via the Elbe river estuary and. thus connect with waterways throughout the Reich. Through it pass timber, iron ore, coal, oil, railroad supplies, cement and food- stuffs in trade with the pincered Scandinavian countries, The canal was completed in 1907 under the rule of Kaiser Wil. helm. The locks are 330 yards loti, compared with the Panama Canal's 300-yard locks; the depth, 11 yards, with a surface width of 44. A vessel can voyage from one end t» the other in eight hours, thus saving a long, dangerous and fuel-costly trip around Denmark, or extra freightage on Germany's creaking railroads. _ The canal is to the Reich what the Panama Canal is to the U. S, what the Suez Canal is to the British -- a short cut from sen to sea, and hence of vital importance in carrying on the war.
