JEAN FERGUSON'S LADIES' WEAR 26 Wellington St. Phone 471 Speculations and Plans There is much speculation along Parliament Hill at this time what will happen as a result of the sudden and swift end of the war against the Japanese since, aside from the public celebration in the nation's capital as well as in all other places, there are numerous problems confronting the authorities and these must be solved quickly. It is clear that the Govern- ment in Ottawa must take appropriate and speedy action, after the war against the Japanese has become an- other chapter in the history of World War II, in order to bring about a proper reconversion of Canadian in- dustry from wartime to peacetime production, increasing production of materials in short supply for civilian demands and eliminating bottlenecks in industry. But this alone will re- move the cause for excitement in Ot- tawa in one direction only. There are other problems in other directions, too, since the fast moving developments will raise other detailed issues as a result of the end of hostil- ities in the Far East because there are 30,000 Canadian troops supposed to be trained in the United States for action in the Pacific, about 60 Cana- dian ships booked for service there, a large number of Canadian technicab men and observers already serving with Allied forces in that theatre of war, and Canada's eleven bomber and transport squadrons slated for the Far East. Likewise, there are other prob- lems facing the authorities as a direct result of the latest developments and it would seem in Ottawa that a num- ber of important decisions or plans will have to be made rather quickly in tune with the fast pace of minute-to- minute developments, including plans for military as well as civilian needs in the Far East? tee Ree Compulsory Military Training? Notwithstanding all the rumors which have been heard about the pos- sibility that Canada is planning to es- tablish a system of compulsory mili- tary training after World War II, yet up to this time there has been no hint of such a scheme being in the making or formulated in Ottawa, though re- ports indicate that there is consider- able opinion along Parliament Hill that military training would help the health of the average Canadian boy and it would provide an opportunity for the Canadian boy to learn more about his own country if he would travel from one province to. another Our Capital Correspondent Written exclusively for The Stratford Mirror By Dean Wilson. OTTAWA for training. Moreover, there would be no lack of a backbone for such a system to be established, if it should be created, since it is known in Ot- tawa that there are a great many men now in the armed services who would be willing to go into a regular army in peacetime, if they could get the. chance. * * * Faulty Forecast Ever since Premier King had sug- gested in a sort of "trial balloon" that there was a possibility that a Canad- ian would be named as the next Gov- ernor-General and that a man with administrative qualities rather than military was sought, with the actual nomination having been Field Mar- shal Sir Harold Alexander, inquiries in this capital would seem to stress that there was general approval and hap- piness that the next occupant of Gov- |ernment House would be British and a military genius not unlike the Gov- ernor-General who came here right after World War I, Baron Byng of Vimy so that history would seem to have repeated itself. Then, again, the idea of a Canadian being picked for Governor-General appears to have lacked enthusiasm and appeal, though it had been expected to create much more interest than it did. * * * More Work Than Workers Notwithstanding all other after- maths of the conclusion of the war, there are more works than workers at this time across Canada. This seems to be the general impression along Parliament Hill where all sorts of whispers have been accompanying the present swift moving events on the international scene, especially the fear in many circles that ynemploy- ment would result as an aftermath from the sudden end of _ hostilities against the Japanese, with one of the most popular stories heard in the capi- tal being that many workers had be- come accustomed to receiving higher wages in their employment during the war so that many of them are most reluctant to accept work now in peace- time occupations or primary indus- tries for less pay. Nevertheless, only a short time it was stated in Ottawa that less applicants were registered in employment offices in Canada than the demand for jobs. to be filled, though this reluctance to accept work at less pay may or may not have been one of the causes.

OVER FIFTY YEARS WALLPAPER LADD Wallpaper and Paints Expert Advisers on Decorating 32 Downie St. Phone 113 Capital Correspondent (Continued from page 4) Canada Is Favored As a direct result of the war, inform- ation in this capital indicates that Canada may have attained a stronger hold than ever on the markets in the United Kingdom for the products of the Canadian farms for bacon, cheese, eggs, dressed poultry, wheat and high quality chilled beef. It appears that experts have returned to Ottawa from abroad with this important informa- tion and that the British householders now prefer these Canadian products. When it is remembered that the people of Britain eat about a billion pounds of bacon in normal years for a twelve- month period or nearly three million 'pounds of beef a year, in addition to other things, the significance of this report can be readily appreciated. In- deed, such information reveals that Canada may sell to Britain over 450,- 000,000 pounds of Wiltshire bacon a year during the next ten or more years and that exports of Canadian beef could be vastly increased in the coming years, though today Canada is already supplying Britain with about 85 per cent. of her imported bacon and she has shipped this year about 80,000,000 pounds of beef and will send another 80,000,000 pounds before the end of 1945. All in all, the outlook in Ottawa indicates that the Canadian 5 NEW CANADIAN (Continued from Page 1) fenses proved accurate, vanished when he talked the crews of three German pillboxes into surrender. The Royal Winnipeg Rifles made him one of their own "little black devils," as the Indians in Canada's Northwest Rebellion (1885) called the then black- clad Rifles. John Wolfe received weapons and a uniform but no pay. That bothered him not at all. His compensation, he said, was the Germans he could kill. He told how his parents, caught at Ostend in the German invasion of Belgium, had been transported to Poland for execution in 1942, how he was forced to work on Channel forti- fications. When Calais fell to the Canadians, the colonel of the Rifles told Wolfe to put on a corporal's chevron. Wolfe fought through the Scheldt campaign, the drive into Germany and Holland. He killed 28 Germans, captured hun- dreds. At Deventer machine-gun bul- lets shattered his thigh. From their beds in a military hospital at Watford, England, other wounded Canadian soldiers cheered John Wolfe when he said quietly, after hearing the news from Winnipeg last week: "I'm going to become one of you." all-year market for Canadian beef, bacon, etc., in the United Kingdom for the next few years at least, if not for another generation or more.
