The journal of the society issued every second month in restricted form quotes from two leading imperialists. General Wavell: "In considering the profits and losses of the military balance-sheet of the past year, while we are not yet in a position to declare a large dividend, we can certainly show an improvement on the previous year s accounts. I The enemy is growing weaker and from arrogant confidence has passed into restless anxiety that will turn to despair as his ruin approaches." Mr. Mackenzie King, as the guest of the Lord Mayor of London, in a speech of far-reaching significance, re minded the world in general a..n.d;.the western world iit particular mat me war win De iar longer, iar Harder and far more desperate if all free men in both hemispheres do not rally with every ounc$ of their resources and energy to the support of Britain while at the fullness of her strength. Russia, by her devoted and unfaltering resistance to German aggression, is providing the opportunity for showing in the balance-sheet of the third year an even more decisive improvement And that improvement should be enormously strengthened by Mr. Roosevelt's dynamic reaction to the "legal and moral piracy' German methods. Unity Means Strength . . . commercially -beating the world and already had almost attained world supremacy, Military supremacy was her aim. In a nattempt to attain that she failed at that time as she will fail again now. Japan for many years had been capturing the markets of the world and there was no need for armed conflict in order to gain eventual 'supremacy. Her cheap labor was a weapon that it was difficult to fight in open competition with Europe or America. Spurred on by Germany she had great ambitions to rule Asia until displaced by a victorious Germany in Europe. it i ei inow n is a case 01 oe a good neighbor or ficht and it ia nut il an irenain mai sne is reany prepared to lioht m; iuibu uu- laneci to win against unina and her abilitv to win in sea warfare is not established.

Dominion-Provincial Relations The Dominion-provincial clash brought out anew the long-stand ing dispute between Premier Hep-burn of Ontario and Prime Mln-i Ister Mackenzie King. Mr. Hepburn loined with Premiers Aber-hart of Alberta and Pattullo of British Columbia in opposing consideration of the constitutional and financial reforms laid before the Dominion - provincial confer-i ence last Januaryin the recom- mendatlons of: the royal commls-1 slon's report. The conference' broke up without accompishln4 1 the objective for which It was called. Later in the year the issues of the conference came uu again! when Finance Minister Ilsley presented his, budget. The sharp In-1 creases in federal Income and cor poration tax were predicted on a request that the provinces with-1 draw from those fields of taxa tion for the duration of the war and accept a grant instead. 1 The royal commission's report recommended the withdrawal of the provinces from those tax fields as a permanent measure and : as part of a general financia:. rearrangement. As the year e.ided conclusion of agreements with thei provinces for the withdrawal was! under way and It was expected all The Ontario - Dominion clash, however, flared up anew over a proposal In the federal budget to' increase tax on payments to nonresident holders of Canadian se curities. Premier Hepburn objected to the tax insofar as it applied to interest on Ontario government securities and the Dominion yielded to his protest and made on exception. Conservative Chairman Appointment of Gordon Gray-don (M.P. Peel) national chairman of the Conservative party marked the start of a move to rebuild the party's organization. Mr. Gray-don toured the greater part of the country during the summer consulting with Conservatives in the constituencies and preparing a report for the Dominion executive. Hon. R. B. Hanson who was chosen temporary house leader after the 1940 election made known his desire to withdraw for reasons of health and a national Conservative conference was arranged BRIGHTEN YOUR GIFTS Here are all the fixin's to make your gifts as beautiful outside as they are inside.
