The "COMMANDO" Th pan that's built for servc Friday, October 29, 1943 Guidance Needed Each week there arrives at the Daily News desk a budget of news from the "Free French" movement, most of it attractively printed and all of it upholding the rights of General Charles DeGaulle as opposed to General Giraud. Formerly, the late Admiral Dar-lan came in for some interesting comments. Mean while, Allied officialdom continues to ride the ience between the two factions, andeemingly, to favor General Giraud. ... i In the Balkans we haveahotlier complex situation, ! with the Allies apparently supplying arms of the j forces of a former Yugoslavian armv colonel.

From press reports Ave learnrtjiat Allied j officers are living among the troops 01 luinanovicn, while other press reports sav that all active resistance, to the German occupation troops is being supplied by the ''nartisan" guerrilla movement" under the legendary "Tito" whose real name is said to be Joseph Brozovich. Extreme contrasts in stories, and lack of an official declaration as to where we stand, leads one to believe that Allied leaders are as much in the dark as the man on the street, as to whether DeGaulle or Giraud. Tito or Mihailovirli deserve our backing. Surelv the military minds of the United Nations have accurate information, which mio-ht lead to a declaration: of policy in the matter.

The increase in juvenile delinquency in Canada and the United States since the outbreak of war has caused not a little uneasiness in many communities across the length and breadth of the land. One of thei difficulties which has arisen is that so few are willing to give their time and energy to its solution widi the-eiiltj-tha( th. burden has fallen upon the, shoulders of a "few public spirited citizens. : ' pne of the be'st'solutions so far advanced is that being undertaken by the Y.M.C.A. in Toronto where neighborhood gancrs are being adopted and given leadership in activities which will direct the interests of the boys along constructive rather than destructive lines. Instead of bringing the boys to the "Yi1 centres, leaders ero to the boys in their own neighborhoods. Direction is being triven in the build-ingjof shacks for their meetings while they are being interested in the collections of fats and newspapers for2salva.ee. the gathering of magazines for the navv anfl the makintr of tovs for under-privileged children. The one fact that stands out above all others in relftinn to the juvenile situation is that if cannot be solved by the holding of discussions. Action of a very definite nature is essential.

Dally News: Some time ago the motor transportation people of this town told us they were going to lay up their cars and trucks unless. There was a small splurge tnstreet improvement in view of the visit of the Oov-emor General. During several periods of the day the Seal Cove bus is packed to capacity. The obvious thins would be to put on two busses. Personally, I would lay off the busses, taxis, trucks and autos completely until the roads I are vastly improved. That would ! foon start something. Another recourse would be to refuse to pay the auto licence in 1944. ! The auto licence is supposed to De rent ior a roaa upon which to travel, It Is barefaced robbery to collect a tax Of course, that Is merely one of the acts of piracy on the part of so-called democracy. About fifty percent of the Seal Cove traffic is for Roya! Canadian Air Force men. If the government was not absolutely Indifferent to the civilians they would put on a bus of their own. However, all a civilian l good for Is to buy bonds, pay taxej and eat cat's meat. The government had better get busy and abolish the tariff THE DAILY NEWS before next election (and that Is possible, lo) er else. It Is nothing unusual to .see a R.CAP. truck rush a driver and one or two officers and one private out to give his flos-sle a ride on government gas so why not put a bus on for the Seal Cove units and give the civilian a break? The government knows the public are Just a bunch of saps and will stand for almost anything as long as some high-powered salesman peddles enough apple sauce. AUNT JANE. TRADE UNIONS AND POLITICAL ACTION Editor. Dally News: May I be permitted to comment on your editorial of Octo ber 26 regarding Ttade Union and Sotialitm. You are a little late In the day to start handing out advice to any labor union on what policy it should follow. T.ie Canadian Congress of Labor has shewn It Is quite cap-i.c of handling Its own business and, Jut because the 'bcugMful among the trade anions, to quote your own expression, are realizing that Industrial action without political action means suicide for th workers, you hang out your shingle, as one capable of giving advice. I smile, Mr. Edltoi. when I :hlnk what sort Of editorial you would have written had the Canadian Congress of Labor endorsed the Liberal Party as the political expression of t b e workers. In doting let me say. although the editorial referred to may be a reprint fiom "Canadian Business" by you giving i your blessing by printing it a an editorial, proved you endorst the sentlmenti expressed but un til your paper can match thf record of the C.C.F. In Its service to labor take It from me you arc only waiting your time. 7 he handwriting Is on the wall. The thoughtful among the trade unions are thlnklr and, like the woikers In other British Colonies, are tired going cap in 1 and to the governments who ?ven at this late date see everything through the eyes of profit Thankinp you for the space in vuur paper J 8, BLACK, FRIDAY OflxjBrt, ft X nrt J.M.S.Louiy i Chiri l a"e IJlock Ph0 V ll ser 'opractor New ; AcveiUita. , 1 Vk WHAT Hr?AMF - Lieutenant Pat Mihom, ;M.B.E., R.CN.V.R., is known to 'thousands -of Canadians as one of the heroic survivors of the sinking of H.M.GS. VCVjburn, a Canadian-manned, Canadian-built Corvette. H.M.GS. X'ey-burn had endured thirty-three days of enemy offensive action from sea and air in the Mediterranean when torpedoed, and was en route home after serving in the African invasion. Staying at his post until there was no alternative but to swim for it, Lieut. Milsom, one-time Toronto newspaper reporter, set an example of. coolness and aided many of the crew to escape. I le was the last to leave the ship. 4 ;ii& i THE SURVIVORS OF H.M.C.S. WEYBURN? iC"" ii Wi "POSH" "posh" N v Famous Mascot of H.M.C M. ' , Weyburn, now at home flV . . Victoria, B.C. LIEUT. PAT MILSOM , M.B.E., R.C.N.V.R., REPLIES: "T)Y the time 'survivor's leave was up, H.M.QS. Wcyburn's crew men and officers alike, were eager and anxious to return to sea. Some of us were lucky enough to get ships and get back into the fight right away. Those of us who weren't so lucky would give our eye teeth to be with them. When the ships your Victory Bonds will help to buy are completed, we'll be joining them. "There's not a man living of Weyburn's complement who is forgetting the shipmates who were lost at sea, and every Seaman, Stoker, Petty Officer and Officer who is fit for sea yes and those whose injuries will keep them ashore everyone of them is truly sincere in his desire to'gct a ship and get back afloat. "Our job is still out there. The convoys must still get through if we are to have mpre successes like Sicily. That's the reason wc Weyburn survivors want to get off the beach and go back to the job wc enlisted to? do and we'll stay at it until the last Urboat is sunk and unconditional surrender iswon" JJO- Just as the men of I I.M.GS. Weyburn want to serve on another ship just as they feci the importance and responsibility of their work in fighting the enemy so should wc feel our responsibility in pushing every Victory Loan over the top till unconditional surrender is won. Get the "Weyburn" spirit. Dig down deep and invest every dollar you can in Fifth Victory Bonds both with cash and from income over the next six months. J MSBUY VI LTD HY HIIMI'. NATIONAl WA Vpf
