the Quebec Legislature and resembling those delivered in other parts of the Dominion, the Speech from the Throne read at the opening of the Quebec House yesterday contained little new information on just what the Government intends to do at the present session, the last of the present Legislature, which must be dissolved and face the electors during the coming summer.But in every respect it promises to be a typical pre-election session, with the Government seeking i> strengthen their hold on certain rather noisy Uinority groups.As is usual in such speeches, it contains many matters which, if carried out, would be for the general benefit of the Province, but it also has> many weaknesses.And, as usual, everything is so vague and indefinite that it will be only when the measures are actually introduced into the House will it be possible to judge their full effect.The hinted reduction or abolition of the sales tax will he favorably received by the citizens of the Province who feel that, every move should be made by Provincial and municipal administrations to reduce the load on the taxpayers and thus to a degree ease the burden caused by the demands of the Dominion Government for war financing.Promised increased assistance to colonization is also a praiseworthy matter, as are the projected improvements in primary and technical education, public health and insurance and the highway system.But overshadowing all this is the determination ef the Government to expropriate the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Consolidated as a basis for the establishment of a Provincial hydro-electric system.It is somewhat difficult to reconcile the avowed policy of the Government to speed rural electrification with the taking over of a strictly urban system, which is not situated geographically to become the centre of any rural networks.And as far as that goes, the chief bar to rural electrification is the war-imposed bans which prevent the private companies from purchasing materials to extend their lines in the country areas, a ban which will affect the Province as well.WELCOME BACK Canadians, in common with the rest of the British Commonwealth of Nations and the people of the United Nations generally, will unite in extending warm greetings to Prime Minister Winston Churchill on his return to the British Isles, apparently fully recovered from the attack of pneumonia which struck him down in the Middle East.Prime Minister Churchill is the very centre of the British war effort and while undoubtedly the British people could and would carry on without his leadership, he has become so much a part of the life of every individual that it is almost inconceivable to wage a war without the inspiration of hi: realism and determination.But while his return to the active control of the affairs of the Did Country finds a universal welcome outside the Axis front, it also brings to the fore a question of selecting an assistant or deputy who could take over many of the routine duties which the Prime Minister now finds himself called upon to perform.Twice during the past year, M.\\ Churchill has been stricken with a critical illness and although he has twice weathered the storm, these recurring attacks raise a great concern among the people of the Empire who feel that every precaution should be taken against any new attacks and one of thé best ways in which this could be done would be the naming of a strong man who could shoulder a substantia] portion of the burden now being carried by Mr.Churchill.The United Nations will face critical days in the near future and it is essential that every effort he made to guard the efficiency of the leaders of the free peoples.THE AMERICANS ARE CELEBRATING THE FOURTH EARLY THIS YEAR * ^\t'i-'' \u2022 -O-.- *iU\\ Sttvkc.Ilio From The Record Files PRESS COMMENTS NO EASY VICTORY AHEAD Persons who have adopted the rather complacent attitude that the invasion of Europe will be an easy matter once the air forces of the United Nations have softened up the German defence and production systems will receive a well-needed jolt from the declaration of General H.H.Arnold, commanding the United States Army Air Forces, that Germany will fight, to the last ditch and that the German defensive air power \u201cis stronger than it ever has been.\u201d Acknowledging that the bombing of Germany has seriously affected enemy morale and that the damage inflicted is resulting in the production of war equipment of inferior quality and in smaller amounts, he warns, however, that Germany still hopes to fight so desperately that she will be able to salvage something better than unconditional surrender from her defeat.He continued with the warning that we must not fool ourselves about the future for Germany is still strong\u2014mighty strong.General Arnold is an air man and when he warns that air power alone will not win the struggle \u2014 as he does by implication in his Philadelphia remarks\u2014-he should be listened to by the people on this side of the water.His words are a warning to the people of North America that they must intensify the home front effort if they wish to win an early victory.Any slackening at the present time means a delav and increased cost.GERMANY'S NEWSPRINT SITUATION Dispatches concerning newsprint shortages in the United States are said to have provoked puzzlement in Lisbon and other neutral capitals as to how the Germans still manage to publish so many newspapers on the Continent of Europe, all of which are said to be getting a fairly good quality of newsprint.Dailies from bomb-shattered Berlin arrive in Lisbon looking much the same as they did in 1939 \u2014 Voelkischer Beobachter six pages, Bqp\u2019sen-Zeitung eight, Der Angriff six, that latter with its customary two-color front page and numerous news pictures.More remarkable, however, is the number of newspapers appearing at widespread points in occupied and satellite countries\u2014even in Minsk, close to the Russian frontier.However, this applies to German-language papers.Bucharest dailies published in the Rumanian language look war-weary on shabby stock.In Paris the once-prosperous Paris Soir lately has been reduced to a single sheet of tabloid size with the printing scarcely legible.The Pariser Zeitung, however, which is printed in German with supplemental pages in French, appears in eight full size pages.An indication the Nazis have begun throttling the book publishing industry in order to maintain a proper supply for propaganda periodicals and newspapers is seen in the textbook shortage in schools and universities.The German press last week published regulations aiming toward an equitable distribution of available scientific, technical and medical textbooks among students who need them.Such a shortage of vitally-needed books contrasting with the abundance of propaganda publications suggests the Nazis will maintain a front of important newspapers and periodicals as long as any paper, ink and printing plants remain.During the First Great War some of the most luxurious issues of certain German magazines appeared in October, 1918, creating an impression in the mind of casual readers elsewhere in Europe that Germany still was at the peak of production.A few weeks later, however, came the armistice.EDITOR'S NOTE-BOOK It

domination of the \u201cempore of the sea,\u2019\u2019 and warm against the cockles of every British heart.The attack by midget submarines on the Tirpitz is a fine exploit.The penetration of the Northern Norwegian fjords to a depth of fifty miles ranks in technical skill and personal daring with the most dramatic actions of the war.It is an exploit, too, of first class strategic importance.It has long been the policy of the German High Command to maintain the Tirpitz in Norwegian waters as the core of the Nazi \u201cfleet in being.\u2019\u2019 There the mighty battleship constitutes a constant threat to the Murmansk convoy, a potential threat to our Atlantic trade route and a possigle barrier to invasion of Hit-elr\u2019s Europe.More important, it locks up superior units of the British Home Fleet to neutralize its potential danger.**}«*}» Transcending the glories of the exploit, however, is the fact of its achicvenment.The midget submarine, of which Russia alone possessed the secret before the outbreak of war and which Italy and Japan have used against the Allies with considerable effect, has become a sjjarp weapon in Great Britain\u2019s armory.\u201cThe highest qualities of courage, enterprise and skill\u201d displayed by our sailors is matched by the genius of our scientists.Great people, inspired by unbending will and noble faith, cannot be mowed down and crushed into oblivion by a 1 the weight and power of mechanized warfare.It is difficult to argue that, in this war as in the last, any one weapon can be decisive in the annihilation of an enemy.What is beyond doubt is that new weapons and the novel use of weapons can win great campaigns; that final victory will crown the efforts of the side which devises the greatest number of new weapons and novel methods, and exploits them most fully in combination with each other.-r *\t* Also beyond doubt is the fact that British genius is fully capable of meeting every demand made upon it for weapons of defence and attack.To the secret of the midget submarine recently there has been added other revelations in which we can take pride and base confidence.The production of the 17-pounder gun, capable of knocking out the heaviest German tank at 1.000 yards, is one of these.Another is the perfection of the long-range eseprt aeroplane, giving fighter protection to our bombers in daylight raids.itself.If that isn\u2019t the totalitarian mind, what is it?Under totalitarianism \u2014 which is what Socialism must be in its utlimate\u2014there can be but one authority, one party, one voice, one channel of attack.There may be statement; there can be no reply.Debate and discussion, defence against accusation, the processes of sportsmanship and fair play which make up democracy\u2014all are out.Only that way can totalitarianism\u2014rule by bureaucracy\u2014live.Perhaps we should be grateful to the C-C.F.for this warning of what it is\u2014and could become.The attack on the insurance companies' by the C.C.F.research director, which means, probably, a prober of some sort, was even parroted at once of th St.Catharines board meetings last month, in a discussion on fire insurance.As a matter of fact, 80 per cent of policyholders in Canada share the profits f>'om their own policies, which means that they are part owners in the insurance business.There are hundreds of thousands of such people.Perhaps the first people of all vvh«, will welcome an investigation are the insurance executive themselves.Government seek to persuade Stalin to accept and give guarantees in a general organization of nations, rather than seek protection for Russia by political and military control over adjoining territories.As a result of th*s proposal there has come the important disclosure that Russia looks on the countries around her borders as within her sphere of influence.\u201cIt is time to understand that the Baltic problem is an internal affair of the Soviet Union in which Mr.Willkie must not meddle,\u201d Pravda announces.Assuming that Pravda speaks the sentiments of the Kremlin it has at one shot shattered the dreams of many people who thought the pre-war type of international politics had gone forever.Stalin is going to place Russia\u2019s interest first and the British Commonwealth and the United States will be wise to adopt a realistic attitude about their interests, too.This is not incompatible with a strong friendship amongst these great nations.TIMELY COMMENTS CANNONADE SHATTERS PIPE DREAMS Toronto Telegram Wendell Willkie is probably a very surprised man at the Moscow Pravda\u2019s cannonade against him touched off by his recent article in the New York Times calling on his countrymen to take a realistic view of Russia\u2019s relations with Finland, the little Baltic states and the Balkan countries.' Mr.Willkie visited Russia in his round-the-world tour and praised the Russians in his book \u201cOne World.\u201d In his article about which Pravda is so angry he described Stalin as the most important single figure on the international stage.He urged Americans not to become emotionally pro-Russian or anti-Russian.The cause of Pravda\u2019s wrath is that Mr.Willkie is the first important public man anywhere who has come out _ in public and declared that Russia should recognize the rights of small states to determine their own future form of government and that, this right of self-determination should be accorded \u2018o Finland, Estonia.Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and the Balkan states.Up to the publication of Mr.Willkie\u2019s article no one had touched on this delicate subject, Mr.Willkie said: \u201cOne of the most pressing in questions; everybody\u2019s mind is what Russia intends to do about the political integrity of small states around her borders.\u201d He also said that with the advance of the Russian armies the question becomes more acute.He admitted that Stalin\u2019s attitude would be the deciding factor and then he proposed that the American Those

rates of Canadian life insurance companies were extortionate.And there would be an investigation.It was a detailed and bitter attack on the companies.In commenting on the charges made, The Ottawa Journal took the ground that life insurance companies were being condemned without trial and that they were under constant and direct Dominion government supervision and audit.The Ottawa paper said that more would be heard of these charges, but there should be competent witnesses, those who could speak with authority before an impartial tribunal.And that highly judicial attitude by our fair-minded contemporary caused M.J.Cold well, C.C.F.leader, at Regina, to complain of the \u2022'bitter attack\u201d on the C.C.F.by the newspapers.The Journal, quite properly in retort, submits that as a fair revelation of C-C.F.temper, and it adds for good measure: The C.C.F.may assail and slander all and everything and everybody it dislikes op disagrees with, but let the thing or institution assailed attempt to defend or explain itself and the C.C.F.shouts with rage, construes the defence as an attack upon McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority.SCRAMBLED
