Partners Against Attack Complete integration of the armed forces of the United States and Canada to meet the new menace of atom bomb attacks , is advised in an article in this week's Saturday Evening Post. High military leaders are agreed that "in the event of another war happening within the next half century, North America will be its cockpit," Leslie Roberts, noted Canadian journalist, writes in "Partners Against Attack." The industrial centres of the United States are bound to be . the target of any further aggressor, thcr Jlilicle sets forth. And an attack on tiem would come over the top of jvtiie. world, no matter where it ori- gi nates.. -Referring to the hastily imprp- : vised Canadian - American defence measures set in motion in the war just ended, the article reports that ( - "variants in equipment and in calibers of arms required double supply systems, double stockpiling and precluded mutual use of key material. Thus delivery failures might have completely immobilized one part of the force while the other had am-muhitionssand weapons to spare. A .-defence policy which is not com-' 7 '-pletely integrated is bound to produce such bottlenecks." Complete integration would 'in-J JYolve the' use of similar weapons, ammunition, materials and military , tactics, the article asserts, adding: "Such a move would mean that henceforth Canadians would train - i : and fight according-to United States :. . standards rather than British ." .(. "Canada and therefore ' the United States, because the dominion f . Jt Ujicle $yn's main northern line of defence has lagged far behind, its arctic neighbor, the Soviet Union, in sub-zero' military knoy-how," the , article continues. "The def ence team ?. to which the job was always en- trusted, geography and climate, was 'relegated to the second division by. ' the long-range airplane. Now it has V l&en knocking through the cellar and ; out of the' league by the rocket and Z atomic. fission. What North America faces is the necessity of creating a compelely new concept and technique of defence." Reorientation of Canada's de fence programs would extend to in dustry, the article states. It points out that the dominion's peacetime industrial structure is geared to that of the United States, but that in time of war it is called upon tq produce British-type weapons. That Canada's chiefs of staff for v navy, army and air recognize that such a system is not in the best interests of continental defence is shown by this, quoted policy memorandum: "In peace Canada and the: United States are closely linked in design and production practice, and it is unfortunate and uneconomic to alter this relationship between Canadian and United States industry in wartime by adopting British production methods." The crux of the problem of in-, tegration so far as Canada is concerned, is political, states Mr.. Rbb-erts, who in the early years of the war served as executive assistant to the, Minister of Defence. However, he adds that his survey showed most Canadians, particularly war ans, in favor of a full military partnership between Canada and the United States. Parliamentary Pay Increases Storms blow' themselves out, so do passions. There was a mild discussion in the press on the pay of 4he Members of Parliament. All was quiet along the Parliamentary front, not a word about it. Here and there members of provincial legislatures, taking their queues from the Federal House, "are upping their own." The public may make a protest about salary increases but it will not change a thousand votes at the next federal election perhaps not a hundred. The House of Commons is not perfect. It lacks the fundamental approach. It does not see things whole but only in part. This is a national weakness we all have it. Parliament is much criticized but .ask the critics what should be done about it, they"will be" mum as twin oysters. In the end they may wind up with this startling bromide: "It. talks too darned much." Getting the House of Commons to try anything new is a slow process. If reform comes, it will be from, within. Parliament feels naturally ? that much wisdom lies within its halls the members are the cho'sen v of the people! Established conventions change slowly and yet the "House" is sensitive to outside pressure, it will change when it feels lhat the constituents want a change the voters though absent are not forgotten.

In the workers' "take-home" pay. Its effect In British Columbia will bp felt lareelv In the lum'opr ' mining and shipbuilding Indus- tries. The four-point program, coordinated by the Canadian Congress of Labor; was outlined tt a. meeting in the "Metrppole Hall, last night by Malcolm McLeod of Vancouver, president of the shipyard General Workers' Fed eratlon, and member of the national council of the C.c.L He said that the program als Included demands for a 40-hour week 'and elimination of the government's wartime wage freezing orders, the latter to permit a "return to free, collective bargaining." It Is subscribed to by seven major Canadian unions, including some from the American federation of Labor. A wage Increase ot 25 cents an hpur, Mr. McLeod said, would ;do no more, than, balance the" rlsinf. cost of .living, which has jumped more than 20 per cent since 1939. food alone," he said, "has gone up, 30 per cent in cost. But we at? receiving 1939 wages and paying Vartlme taxes' as well. Ihe 25 cent Increase is coming to US In order to equalize the wage rate with what It was before the war." The 40-hour week, he assorted, would put more men to work at a time when thousands are seeking jobs In the larger centres. Control of prices to prevent Inflation Is necessary, he declared, tp assure that manufacturers do not'. hpLst prices to offset wa?e increases. Urge for Profit Inflation Cause "Wages have nothing to d'. with Inflation," he declared. "It Is' the urge for profit by management that Inspires Inflation. Wages always lag behind prices But to ask for wage increases without controlling prices Is to see the enect or the increase destroyed by inflation. Th return of free, collective bargaining with the abolition of wage' freezing orders would as- THIS AND THAT sure free, democratic settlement uf wage rates betwein employer.', and workers," he said. Colin Cameron, rabor representative on the provincial labo; conciliation board, which is sitting here to consider contract negotiations between the union and Prince Rupert dry dock warned that labor should make sure that their, wage Increases "came out of the boxes' share of profits. 'If you permit the boss to take the same share of profits that he has done In the past, you will be fooled." Mr. Cameron said. "In the automobile Indus try in the United States it was proved ,hat wages could be raised without-; Increasing the price of the product." rhaliman of the meeting was Howard Hill. There were ato" 20 present. .
