The budget must provide for about $150,000,000 for the "family allowances" which start in July, Mutual Aid ter. an amount between $200,000,000 and $300,- 000,000 for the year, millions of dollars for war service gratuities, re-estab- lishment credits for the armed forces, and other millions for the purpose of promoting export trade by credits. * * * Nationalization Law The growth of Canada as a nation will be demonstrated shortly in the enactment of a nationalization law for Canadians. This is suggested in an interesting story circulating now along Parliament Hill, with this con- firming an exclusive prediction made by this observer a long time ago on the point that the Government is anxious to do something along this line to weld together the various peoples composing the population of this young country. * * * U.S. Bases in Canada It is stated backstage in Ottawa that the United States may sooner or later, as military considerations war- rant, withdraw its armed _ services from the air bases that it built in northern Canada, with this being in- dicated in information gathered in the capital, Moreover, it should be re- ported that information reaching Ot- tawa seems to infer that charges are being made in Washington that United States expenditures in various under- takings in Canada during the war may have involved profiteering by Americans. At least, such charges are said to have been made in the United States Congress where a group of Re- Where To Go For It Our Capitol Correspondent Written exclusively for The Stratford Mirror By Dean Wilson. OTTAWA publicans have asked the war investi- gating committee to open hearings on such charges in connection with the Alcan Highway and Canol Oil Project, urging examinations to be made of all payments, contracts and financial matters in general. * * * Plans for Employment While at this moment various in- dustries and agricultural work are taking all men and women available for employment from war pants or other undertakings since the close of the European war, yet it is no secret that many men and women through- out the nation are worrying about their future employment. It is stressed that not so long ago a Min- ister of the Cabinet in Ottawa had hinted that, if farming and industry cannot take all men and women avail- able for employment, the Federal Government would engage in a vast program of public undertaking to pro- vide work for everyone possible so that no unemployment would prevail in the immediate postwar perior. In addition, the Federal Government may engage in a works programme of huge proportions for this very object- ive, including the opening up of the great Northwest Territories, expan- sion of mining, reforestation or timber conservation plans, and otherwise start on enterprises to absorb all pos- sible. workers who need employment. * * * Double Taxation It has been made known in Ottawa that for the purpose of avoiding double taxation in so far as federal succession duties are concerned on estates located partly in Canada and in the United States, effect has been given to an agreement or convention between Canada and the _ United States for the collection of such taxes. * * * Weekly Wind-up Ladislas Lorinez, agricultural econo- mist of the Dominion department of agriculture, has emphasized in the capital that "the ease with which a nation assimilated newcomers is in- dicative to a large degree of the coun- BAKERS T.

With the objective of stimulating interest in Canadian cultural activities both at home and abroad, "Canada Found- ation" has been set in motion as an organization for carrying on this work, according to a report in Ottawa. A nation-wide survey has been started to determine all the current forms of as- \sistance 'to writers, musicians, com- posers, painters, sculptors and other Canadian artists so that the results of this survey may serve as a guide in devising a program of awards, grants and scholarships to individuals as well 'i organizations across Canada. yes 'Friday, June 29, 1945. THE STRATFORD MIRROR The Only Way With Germany (By A. O. MacRae, Vancouver) As one reads of the altogether mon- 'strous behavior of German soldiers, 'high and low, towards civilians of con- quered European lands, he is forcibly reminded, of the language of Sir Harry - Lauder during the last war. In ad- dressing students of McGill University following the loss of his only son dur- ing fighting on the Somme, he sudden- ly burst forth, "I know I am enjoined to love my enemy, but I am not told to love God's enemies." Have the Nazi Germans not qualified for this very -category? Certainly they have broken all bounds, moral and spiritual, to be- come a veritable incarnation of Evil. Have they not proven themselves not only to have forsaken God but to be forsaken by HIM? Has not the spirit sso far as Nazi Germany is concerned returned to God who gave it? On divine authority we learn that it is possible to offend unforgivably. It appears then as if they had brought 'themselves to just such a pass. What Is to Be Done? Away back in 1915 during the last war, the famous French philosopher Bergson said of the evil ambitions and appetites of Germany, what more truly may be said of the Nazis today. "They are devoid of scruple, devoid of faith, devoid of pity, devoid of soul." What then is to be done about Germany? The verdict cannot be the 'verdict of Cato concerning Carthage, it cannot be Germania delenda est (a war of extermination). This is not only unthinkable but impossible. Yet this Nazi generation of Germans seems beyond change of heart or mind or spirit. We must then await the course of nature. Having unpardon- ably offended, they, like Israel of the Sinai Desert, must be withheld in the desert of absolute control till they die out. Meanwhile complete charge must be taken of the newborn generation, and that from the very cradle. But can this people be transformed? Can the leopard change its spots? The re- cent experiments with animal life point to startling possible changes in physique, temperament, the outward appearance, the inward disposition. Scientific infant and child observation and study have proven that tender youth is so impressionistic that di- rected experience, environment, endu- cation can fashion it so that, like the trees, as it has been inclined, so it will develop. Says a noted scientist, "Give me a child from birth until it is ten years of age and I will make it so brave that it will face a tiger with- out fear; give me the same child and I will make it so frightened that it will be afraid of its own shadow." We-need to remember that if in the newborn there are unlimited possibil- ities of knowledge of the Good, there must be similar possibilities of know- ledge of Evil. The Tree in the Garden was of knowledge of Evil equally as of Good. And the knowledge of evil can be so inculcated, so nurtured, so de- veloped that the possibility of know- ledge of the Good is atrophied. That, too, is evidence by what has come to pass in Germany under Hitlerism. Radical change was effected in Ger- many, notably among the youths, the new generation in the land. That was brought about by Hitler and his satel- - lites in the period between the last war and the present one. He literally so influenced them in thought and imagination, in conduct and character, by daily training and rigid control, that they no more conformed to the moral standards of Occidental civiliz- ation but were so transformed in will and idea, that they became devoid (as already said) of scruple, faith, pity, aye, of soul itself. How to Make it Effective The next question is how is such education to be and by whom carried into effect. Experts from the Allies (Continued on page Aled oo FLUID MILK PART II Cows have been prized possessions since the dawn of history, and long, before it was known what made one food better than another, the goodness of milk was recognized. Only in the last few years, however, has the science of nutrition revealed why milk is such a valuable food. No. other product contains so many of those complex, chemical materials which are needed to build and maintain a hu- man body. It has protein, fat and sugar -- all of which provide heat and energy. In addition, the fine quality of its protein makes it one of our most efficient tissue builders. Hidden in the creamy-white liquid is a wealth of minerals and vitamins whose import- ance to good health is beyond ques- tion. Chief among these are calcium and phosphorus, riboflavin and Vita- min A. Calcium and phosphorus are the minerals which are responsible for the strength of bones and the hard- ness of teeth. Phosphorus is available from many foods but milk is by far the best source of calcium. Recent surveys show that milk supplied 75% of the food calcium in the Canadian diet. And it was the source of ap- proximately 50% of the riboflavin, the vitamin which promotes 'vitality and glowing health. We are assured of a constant supply of Vitamin A as well, when we use milk daily. This vitamin, preventing night blindness and in- creasing resistance to certain types of sickness is available from a number of foods, but we don't always find them in our daily meals. Fresh whole milk is the best form in which to get these life-savers -- skim milk is good, too, lacking only the energy value of the fat, and the Vitamin A which goes with it. Butter- milk is essentially the same as skim milk and the flavor is refreshing and very pleasing to many people. Homo- genized milk is simply fresh whole milk, processed so that the cream is evenly distributed and does not rise to the top. This is done by forcing the milk through very small openings under great pressure, which breaks the fat into such tiny particles that they cannot collect and rise to the top. Some dairies irradiate this milk to develop in it another vitamin -- Vita- min D -- which is found in very few foods. Even sour milk is splendid food, and can be widely used in cook- ing. cPhuid milk" is vital and every drop of it ought to find its way down the throats of 11% million Canadians.
