News of the fighting in China cannot be as complete 'dr 'as reliable as that from other theatres. Enough of recent reports can be pieced together, however, to sketch in the outlines of an emerging pattern. Chinese forces are not only striking for a gateway to the sea on the Fukien coast. They are also endeavouring to cut off the Japanese south of the Yangtze River from the main armies of the north by severing the rail communications. American planes and ships have already throttled down the connections by sea to a trickle. At the same time there are reports that Japan is withdrawing important armored units from the Shanghai area and dispatching them to Manchuria. This, added to rumors of other enemy "movements out of South China, supports the opinion that the Japanese have seen the imperative need of pulling their far-flung armies into a territory which can be effectively consolidated and defended. ' This will hardly mean the abandonment of key points without a battle. The Japanese High Command may well calculate coldly that to deny to the Allies Singapore, the oil fields of Sumatra, the rubber of Malaya, and the big ports of the China Coast for every possible day would be worth the sacrifice of several hundred thousand troops. They apparently so calculated for all of their Pacific outposts, and the Al YOUR HAT, SIR!!

There was a time and not too long ago when the smallest Canadian coin had a definite value all its own and a nickel was sufficient to satisfy childhood's desires. There was, according to myth and legend, even a five-cent cigar although it Was not good. Now any fond parent who tries to impress his four-yearold offspring with the value of money can be stumped every time with the question: "What will a nickel buy, Daddy?" There just isn't any' answer except to suggest that the nickel will fit the slot in the mission bank. The penny, the nickel and the dime are no longer a yardstick of value for the child because the things they used to buy have .been taxed out of the five-cent chtss if they are available at all. Nor is the child the only one affected. Adults still pay five cents f or their daily paper but they cannot help but be aware that to the price of many things they must buy something more has been added something officially known as an excise tax, inaccurately referred to as a luxury tax and correctly regarded as a nuisance tax. In recent weeks some of these special wartime nuisance taxes have been removed but many still remain. It will 'be a big day on the way back to economic normality when the five-cent piece is once again sufficient to buy a bottle of soft drink, a chocolate bar or a package of gum. It would be good finance and good politics to bring the nickel back to par. The most famous remark of Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall was: "What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar." This was later amended by Franklin P. Adams to read: "What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel."

''Believe, me," she said, "I don't want a Japanese neighbor spitting over my back fence." Miss Cordeux told an astonishing story of what she had actually seen of Japanese preparation for world conquest and enslavement which she emphasized meant imprisonment in chains and nothing else. They might have seemed "smiling and friendly, polite and courteou-" for the time but all the while they were preparing far the greatest war In the history of the world. Lon before the actual outbreak of the. European war in 1939, there had been German and Japanese collaboration looking to world conquest. After 1939 and .before Pearl Harbor, the Japanese had actively aided the Germans against not only the Allies but against neutral shipping. The 'Japanese had had a very definite part in the disappearance of ships in the Indian Ocean and elsewhere. There had been utter ruthlessness aridbar-barlsm in the treatment bf those presents the Famous, Gruen PiViAmeriem i l VIM ' K, 1 unfortunates who had coaie Into their hands. After Crown Prince Frederick of Germany had visited Emperor Hlrchito In 1939, a regime of Insult, mistreatment and even murder of British subjects had commenced. The speaker told how she had became a marked woman and had eventually -been ordered to be killed. Miss Cordeaux described an Incident at Kefce of being forced trj strip before two Japanese soldiers and customs officers who were searching for photographic negatives which she had concealed in her hair. In Hong-kew, the deplorable slum area of Shstnghal she had been rescued from Japanese bayonets by a soldier of the British 12nd. Regiment with a drawn .gun. She described graphically the bombing in 1940 of the Empress Of Asia aboard which vessel she was a passenger. Holding up one of the familiar Japanese glass fishing floats. Miss Cordeaux told how these had 'been used as a .preliminary in research which had led eventually to the sending of trial bombing balloons to the Pacific Coast. S'-saMrvr of the political situation, Ml) CordeaUx declared that Mackenzie King's forbear-anc? agalmt Imposing conscription had been a wonderful thing The dignity of .the Individual had been recognized. By not diverting from the voluntary method and leaving the Canadian people to the dictates of their own hearts and consciences, there had teen achieved a degree of war effort which was the marvel of the wcrld. Essence of Liberalism Dr. Jack McDougall said he had identified himself with the Literal party be:ause he had been interested In the development of a true national 'spirit. The e'senee bf Liberalism was "progress without dictatorship, stabllltywlthout reaction." State ownership, as advocated by the C.C.F., could only 'result In centralization and development of Collectivism. "If you want to become Just a cog In the wheel of state ownership, vote C.C.F." the speaker suggested. The Tory party of reaction and specialprivilege '"controlled by the big-lboys with -themoney bags," was one of less Intellect today 'tharraliy"pafty"bf"theIast 25 years. As late as March 26; ib44,'Vis-count Bennett had told the 'British House of Lords' that, If they wanted' tfcrsee' an' example bf 100 percent mobilization of manpower, ihey shbuld take a 'ship, to Canada." Mackenzie king W6uld go down In history as Canada's most outstandlng'leader. Conscription was a' dead Issue. Tories In this campaign were flogging the dead horse because they had nothing to offer themselves. ' The 'party whtchhad 'lifted Canada in war from a position of mediocrity to world leadership could carry Canadians to an even greater destiny In' the world at peace. Final Address Of Candidate E. T. Applewhaltc, Liberal candidate for Skeena, In his final campaign speech, expressed' gratification at the Clean campaign that had been waged in' Skeena.; :He was proud to be the candidate of a 'party which had achieved such a marvellous war effort under the leadership of the great est living democrats and states-; men.
