The Jefferson is Arthur K. who is holding a towel bearing the brand of the medical department, U.S. Army, which he avers was left in his stomach by army surgeons after an operation in an army hospital. The veteran is suing the U.S. government for $100,000 for the oversight.

Hardly a day goes by without a front-page reference to the Dominions and colonies In the national press. Here are a few samples. "Empire is the Key" L. S.-Amery, former Conservative Dominions secretary now preside1 of the Empire Industries Asso ciation which fights doggedly for development of Empire trade. "Ties With Empire No Weakenings'Sir Stafford Cripps, Chancellor of Exchequer, . in speech seeking to allay fears cooperation with western Europe might "lead this country away from the old ties with the Commonwealth." "Empire and Western Union Mr. Eden On Need For Consul- 'ation Referring to deputy Conservative leader Anthony Eden's demand that the Commonwealth be consulted at every step In the development of west' em European co-operation. Western union is not the only factor arousing Britain to awareness of the Commonwealth and Empire. For months economic experts of the government have been emphasizing fhe need to develop the Empire sources of raw supplies. This applies particularly to Colonies and Do minions of the sterling area for the main objective of the cam paign is to reduce dollar expenditures Ironically, this Is what Amery and his Tory colleagues have consistently demanded. Last week they launched a countrywide campaign for the "policy of Empire development and Empire economic unity the only policy which can extricate us from our present plight." As far as the man in the street , Is concerned, the vigorous dis cussion about the relation of the j Commonwealth to western union has been a healthy reminder that most of the red-painted countries on the map have long outgrown colonial status. J Government ministers again and again underline the inde- pendence of the Dominions. They rarely make a reference to them without stressing this point but it takes a long time to sink into the public mind. They say their policy differs from Amery's in that his does not go beyond exploitation (which he denies), whereas theirs calls for --""wy"' development on 1 ,the k basls , of , Partnership.

LTD. laok of understanding of practical labor questions, nevertheless, it was from the various briefs presented by labor delegations throughout the years that the biggest part of the progressive labor legislation Of the present day had sprung from. B. C. provincial Bill 98 and its supporting Bill 87 were discussed at some length by Mr. Gordon and William Brett, M.L.A. The Act they said, was patterned in many places on the Taft-Hartley Act of the U.8.A. and unless the trade union movement of Canada and espe cially B.C. realized the danger ous trend of this legislation they may "live to regret it in the not too distant future." On the question of displaced persons from Europe the speaker said the supervision of the selection of the people ought to be done under the federal De partment of . Labor instead of Premieis Duplessis and Drew being given a free hand in bringing in labor on a contract basis which was certainly setting the hands of the clock of progress backwards. Mr. Gordon also gave a brief outline of the Shipping Act, and its relations to the present dispute between the unions and the shipping company, the Act had come Into force a great many years ago and was practically the same today as first enacted Among several communications endorsed was one from the Fishermen's Co-operative Association asking endorsation of their recent request for a breakwater to be put in at the Fair-view Fishermen's Floats, also a request from the Vancouver and New Westminster Trades & Labour Council that a petition be circulated asking the federal government to Increase the amount'now being given to overage pensioners.

SMASH MUSICAL By PAT USSHER Canadian Press Staff Writer NEW YORK "Inside U.S.A." has hit town with a smash. Any resemblance between it and John Gunther's best-seller is coincidental. This lavish production of two acts and 18 scenes, supposedly' . " depicting the life and times of the modern-day United States, owes only 1U title to Gunther's historical wcwlc, "Inside USA" It is hardly likely that that noted world traveller and newi correspondent ever encountered I some of the things that happen in Rataur Schwart't lively but over-long production. 1 . Beatrice ' Ullie Is co-starred with Jack Haley in this musical which, a hit before it opened last week at the Century Theatre, now has an advance sale of $500,000. The Toronto-born Miss Lillie, in fact, "makes" the show; were it not for the presence of that veteran commed-ienne, who can stop a show by the mere lift of an eyebrow, "In side U.S.A." would be just another musical. The revue moves swiftly from a Miami Beach hotel room to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, from Churchill Downs to the Mardl i -- "You know, if it weren't for the Marshall plan," siiid the Old Timer today, "there would be a pretty grim employment picture around here. "They call it ERP now European Rehabilitation Plan. It's keep-ing Europe, and Great Britain, going now, and meanwhile working to build them up economically so in a few years time they can get along by themselves. "That's a great big capitalist nation pouring out billions to help get other countries, mostly with socialist governments, get going again. "But that's something else again, vliat I started to say was that Canada was facing a rather bleak prospect without ERP. Orders were drying up fnf Canadian products because the countries that want those products had no money to pay for them, and Canada couldn't finance their orders much longer. "It coulJn't have been long, in all probability, before we would have to face unemployment and falling wages something no work' ngman or his wife wants to see. "But Russia doesn't like the Marshall plan. Rusia want to see Europe in chaos and anarchy to the Communists can take over. And wliat did oijr Canadian Communists do? They foifght the Marshall plan js hard as they could protested to Ottawa, passed resolutions and held protest meetings. And most of these were men holding offices in tradei unions! . "Russia didn't like the Marshall plan, and that was enough for them. The interests of their trades union members didn't count one-two-three. "That's something to remember."

PRAIRIE GRAIN SEEDING HELD UP ANOTHER WEEK WINNIPEG Seeding will not become general on the pra'ries for another week to ten days and possibly longer than that in the northern areas, according to the weekly crop report of the department of agriculture of the C.N.R. In southern Manitoba the wet V'cold weather and flood condl- tions have delayed the spring land work. It is expected, however, that with favorable weather seeding should be fairjy gen eral next week. Some farmers in the Morris-Somerset district started seeding about May 10. A decrease in wheat acreage Is expected with a consequent increase in coarse grains and sum-merfallow. No seeding Is reported in northern Manitoba and will not commence until next week. It is too early to estimate the extent to which the wheat acreage will be decreased. Seerilner has commenced to I some extent in the southern I part of Saskatchewan and shou.d be fairly general by the beginning of next, week, except in areas which suffered from floods. A reduction of wheat acreage is expected but accurate estimate "cannot be expected for another week or two. In central Saskatchewan conditions are varied but little lard work has been done to date. The weather during the past week has been favorable for drying the land and as a result seeding should be more or less gen eral by about May 20. Fall rya has wintered well and is looking good. I .. Seeding has not yet commenced in the east-central area of Alberta and it will be from ten days to two weeks later than usual. Increases in coarse grain and summerfallow acreages are expected with a corresponding decrease in wheat acreage. I' Weather has been cool and moist in northern Alberta and .has retarded drying of the land. As a result seeding will not get ..under way for a week to ten days. In the Peace River area mois-ture conditions are very good. " Work on the land is expected to Jstart the end of this week In most areas. Some wheat seeding is reported from the Brownvale ,and Woking districts. It is expected there will be a 10 per- cent reduction in wheat acreage v with a corresponding increase in . the acreage sown in coarse grains.
