By M. McDougall Ottawa, January 14.â€"The Domin- ion Capital has ‘been cheered in these dark and anxious days by the out- standing events of the past week on the international scene. ForemOSt among these events was President Roosevelt's message to congress. In a recent speech at a Pilgrims’ lun- cheon in London given in honor of Viscount Halifax, newly appointed ambassador to U.S., Prime Minister Churchill said that it was no exag- geration to say that “the whole fuâ€" ‘ture of the world and a civilization founded on Christian ethics" depend- ed- on relations between the British Commonwealth and’ the United States. The president’s forthright promises of speedy and increasing ‘help to the British cause has been an inspiration to Canada as well as all other parts of the commonwealth. ‘Pride too has been taken from the ‘continued. success of the British army in Libya, now, battering at the outer defences of Tobruk. This Mediterra- nean. fortress seemed: certain to fall in the same way as Bardia. But while Italy’s Arfrican Empire is crum'blin-g the Balkans are being watched with anxiety. Will the German army march through Bulgaria t0ward‘s Greece and) if so willl it be opposed by Turkey? What will Russia die if the Nazis march southwand? Is the activity in the Balkans a feint to cover an attempted invasion of Brit- ‘ain? It is the enigma of the Bal- kans that hollds the earnest attention of Ottawa as welfi as other capitals of the Commonwealth. Its answer is in the hands of the Nazi general staff. Dated this 30th day of December 1940. WILLIAM 000K AND GIBSON, 912 Federal Building, 85 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Solicitors for the Executors. Monday, Jan. 20th The Rowell-Sirois Conference The most important constitutional conference that has 'been held' in Canada since those meetings at Char- lottetown and Quebec which preceded confederation is starting this week at Ottawa.

The object of the confer- ence, it is stated, is to make govern- ment in Canada more efficient and more economical, to simplify and strengthen the financial structure of the Dominion and the provinces. The conference is brought together at this time because it is believed changes suggested in the report in regard“ to public debt, the realloca- tion of taxation -etc., will aid» the Canadian people in their war effort and make for greater national unity. Olbviously the success or failure of the conference will depend on the spirit in which Dominion and Pro- vincial delegates approach their task. Success naturally would not neceSS- arily mean that the report would be accepted in its entirety. It would mean that the recommendations would be discussed fully and dispassionateâ€" ly and that the decisions reached ‘would be founded on a preponder- ance of argument carefully weigh-ed. 'It will the recalled that a few of the ‘major suggestions of the cOmmission are that the funded debts of the provinces should be assumed by the Dominion, (a proportion of provin- cial and municipal debts in the case of Quebec lbeing assumed), that di- rect relief of unemployed employ- ‘ables should be the Dominion’s re- sponsibility as well as a larger mea- sure of farm assistance and that in- heritance, income and: certain other taxes should be collectable by the ‘Dominion treasury. Training Skilled Workmen About 100,000 skilled workmen ‘will the trained for Canada’s war in- dustry this year. The instructions will be carried out under the siponâ€"‘ sorship of the department of labor. About 50,000 will receive instructions in vocational schools throughout the country, while a similar number will be trained) in the industrial plants. The Dominion government will bear ‘85 per cent of the cost of this school- ing or about $4,300,000, while the balance will be borne by the prov- inces. The program is clearly of the greatest importance as the efficiency of Canada’s war contribution through the production of munitions and oth- er war supplies depends largely on the skilled workmen at the factory lathes. During the last few months skilled men have been turned out by the Youth Training Plan at the rate of about 40,000 a year. It will not ‘be young men only who will be trained Japanese Registered in British Columbia The Prime Minister has announced that all Japanese residents of British Columbia will be registered. This will be done “to protect the Japanese themselves and to eliminate any il- legal entrants who may in fact be ‘in Canada”. A certificate and card will be furnished all Japanese who are legal residents “which will be final proof of his legal residence in this country and will thus exempt him from future suspicion or annoy- ance”. There are about 23,000 Jap- anese in British Columbia, about 2,- 000 in other provinces. Farm Confierence at London, Ont. Over the week-end, the minister of Agriculture, Gardiner and the pro- vincial minister Dewan met at Lon- don with representatives of farming organizations to discuss farming problems, some of which have ‘beâ€" come more acute in recent weeks. The questions which will undoubtedly have a place in the discussions are whether there should be a mini- mum as well as a maximum price for butter, how an adequate sup- ply of bacon and cheese can (be assured for the British market, how c‘hea‘per feed grains can be got from the West through bonus or otherwise and how farmers can be aSSured of receiving a return on their products in line with increased costs and with improved industrial conditions in towns and cities. PRISONERS OF WAR Regulations governing treatment of prisoners of war were laid down at an international convention in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1929. They were agreed to by 27 nations, in- cluding Canad. Prisoners of war must be housed under conditions as good as those of the depot troops of the detaining power and the camp must be sanitary, healthy, free from damp and with adequate heat and precautions against fire. Food and clothing rations must 'be equal in quantity and quality to those of depot troops. Prisoners are allow- ed to work in the kitchen. Prison- ers are paid by their own govern- ments, according to their rank. Pris- oners of war and civilian internees receive no pay for maintenance work but get twenty cents a day for other work. - Spotlight A Euchre in aid of British War Victims Fund: will be held in Bich- vale School, Stop 22A Yonge Street ‘on Friday, January 24th, at 8.30 p.m. sharp by the Cluzkkers Club of Rich- val-e'.
