BRITISH
Parliament's
summer
adjournment
BEFORE
both
Houses
will
have
debates
of
prime
importance
on
the
economic
situation
and
Britain's
prospects.
These
debates
will
be
hefd
next
week.
Members
di
all
parties
have
been
anxious
that
parliament
should
not
adjourn
without
the
clearest
possible
understanding
of
how
the
government
is
approaching
the
economic
difficulties
ahead
and
without
making
plain
their
own
views
on
what
should
be
done.
Provision
is
made
for
the
recall
of
Parliament
if
necessary
during
the
adjournment.
This
is
not
unusual
but
it
had
been
hoped
on
the
government
side
that
it
would
be
convenient
to
end
the
session
.
by
-prorogation
before
the
summer
holiday,
thus
changing
the
recent
practice
when
there
has
been
only
an
adjournment,
leaving
formal
prorogation
until
one
or
two
days
before
the
state
opening
of
the
new
session.
However,
so
serious
is
the
economic
situation
that
Parliament
must
be
kept
within
close
call.
There
is
no
very
great
practical
difference
be
tween
an
adjournment
and
a
prorogation
but
the
Opposition
M.P.'s
.in
particular
are
content
that
the
course
is
the
one
which
involves
the
least
formality
if
it
should
be
necessary
to
recall
Parliament
before
its
reassembly
in
October.
When
the
King
prorogues
Parliament
it
needs
a
new
Royal
Proclamation
to
call
Parliament
together
again.
During
an
adjournment.it
can
be
recalled
with
less
formality.
Meanwhile
during
the
coming
week
important
general
topics
are
to
be
reviewed
in
the
Commons
including,
besides
the
serious
economic
situation,
such
matters
as
housing,
colonial
questions,
the
armed
forces,
education,
foreign
trade
and
domestic
production
and
consumption.

DEPENDS
ON
YOUTH
;
1
THE
SUCCESS
of
the
long-range'
occupation
'program
to
demilitarize
Germany
and
to
change
-
J.he
thinking
of
the
German
people
to
peaceful,
"democratic
lines,
will
depend
to'
a
large
measure
upon
German
youth.
The
German
youth
of
today,
the
group
who,
.as
tomorrow's
leaders
will
shape
the
course
ofcGer-1
many,
are
the
result
of
training
and
habits"
formed
during
a
dozen
long
years
of
nazism.
At4he
age
of
ten
he
was
a
member
of
the
nazi
Young
Folk
organization.
At
fourteen,
he
was
graduated,;in
the
Hitler
Youth
and
at
eighteen
he
probably
was
a
member
of
the
SS
or
the
Wehrmacht.
His
mother
probably
was
enrolled
in
the
official
League
of
German
Mothers
(party
buttons,
diplomas
and
obedience).
His
sister
had
her
group
too,
the
BDM
or
League
of
German
Girls
(still
more
uniforms,
marching,
flags,
countersigns,
and
obedience).
About
eighty
million
lived
in
the
gigantic
military
barracks
called
Nazi
Germany.
The
overwhelming
majprity
lustily
cheered
Hitler's
conquests
and
fought
to
the
bitter
end.
'
Decat
and
the
occupation
flung
them
into
a
new
world
one
in
which
they
were
expected
to
think
as
individuals
and
to
follow
democratic
processes
in
arriving
at
decisions.
German
newspapers,
schools,
books
and
local
government
preached
democracy.
Only
time
will
tell
whether
the
lessons
of
democracy
and
of.
the
past
two
wars
have
taken
root
in
Germany.
Democracy's
hope
rests
with
the
young
people.
Too
many
of
the
middle
aged
and
elders
are
like
a
leading
anti-Nazi
who
when
asked
why
a

WINNIPEG
The
lack
of
a
general
rain
coupled
with
extremely
hot
weather
during
the
week
under
review
has
caused
conslderaible
deterioration
in
the
crop
prospects
over
the
whole
prairie
area
according
to
the
weekly
crop
report
of
the
Department
of
Agriculture
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways.
The
cron
has
stood
up
fairly
well
in
Manitoba,
southeast
and
east-central
Saskatchewan,
and
in
northwest
Alberta
and
the
Peace
River
area
but
elsewhere
has
gone
back
rapidly.
Practical
ly
a
complete
crop
failure
Is
expected
in
northwestern
Saskatchewan
and
the
area
affected
is
spreading
rapidly
south
in
western
Saskatchewan
and
eastern
Alberta.
Harvesting
should
be
under
way
by
August
10
in
southern
Manitoba
and
by
August
15
over
the
rest
ol
the
prairies.
Small
scattered
areas
in
all
three
provinces
have
suffered
from
hall
damage
but
these
will
have
little
effect
on
the
overall
picture.
The
Okanagan
Valley
has
had
a
week
of
cool
weather
with
some
rain.
The
aDrlcot
movement
will
reach
Us
peak
this
week
but
the
peach
crop
will
not
reach
its
maximum
for
another
two
weeks.
Conditions
are
good
and
no

is

from
