The

last
night
heard
B.uce
Mickleburgh,
chair
man,
In
the
course
of
his
poll-
cat
report,
state
that
the
majority
of
Canadians
expect
the
full-scale
invasion
of
Europe
as
a
result
of
the
Moscow
conference.
Churchill,
Roosevelt
and
Stalin
had
all
warned
of
bloody
battles
ahead.
Hence,
all
plans
must
centre
on
a
smashing
victory
early
In
'44.
It
was
astounding,
said
the
s..jeaker,
to
see
such
papers
as
the
Winnipeg
Free
Press
misrepresenting
the
Moscow
conference
as
a
defeat
for
Soviet
strategists.
If
anyone
was
defeated
it
was
those
who
feared
democracy
more
than
they
wanted
victory
and
had
sought
to
Isolate
the
Soviet
Union
and
obstruct
the
offensive.
All
the
political
questions
which
had
been
posed
as
obstacles
to
all-out
coalition
warfare
had
been
solved.
It
was
equally
astonishing
to
hear
the
Winnipeg
Free
Press-,
which
w;as
very
close
to
Mackenzie
King,
adopting
the
line
that
it
was
more
Important
for
the
government
to
get
tough
with
labor
than
to'
establish
a
partnership
with
labor
In
the
impending
drive
to
back
the
attack.
To
win
the
war
and
the
peace,
Canadians
must
insist
that
labor
play
a
leading
role
and
must
smash
attempts
to
Isolate
labor
from

against

LONDON,
Nov.
23
(CP)
One
thousand
British
and
Canadian
planes
made
Berlin
a
fiery
mass
of
exploding
ruin
iMonday
night
in
the
greatest
air
attack
in
all
history,
setting
new
fires
in
the
heart
of
the
German
capital
which
still
burned
from
the
massive
assault
last
Thursday.
"Berlin
can
never
recover,
from
this
blow,"
q
Stockholm
newspaper
declared
in
commenting
on
dispatches
from
its
correspondent.
Probably
more
than
2,300
tons
of
bombs
fell
on
Berlin
last
night,
exceeding
the
record
dropped
on
Hamburg
in
the
offensive
which
knocked
that
port
out
of
the
war.
The
Air
Ministryreported
that
the
attack
was
highly
effective.
Royal
Canadian
'Air
Force
headquarters
said
it
was
the
greatest
effort
yet
made
by
the
Canadian
bomber
group
which
sent
out
scores
of
Lancasters
and
Halifaxes.
The
cost
was
twenty-six
bombers,
four
of
them
Canadian.
Berlin
claimed
i
ffwas'S"
"Heavy
'terror
w
ing
serious
damage
and
losses
in
numerous
districts."
By
daylight
today
strong
formations
of
bombers
roared
across
the
Channel
for
more
attacks
on
the
Continent.
Monday
night
all
districts
of
Berlin,
which
has
a
population
of
five
million
people,
as
well
as
suburbs
were
damaged
and
particularly
heavy
devastation
occurred
in
the
centre
of
the
capital
near
such
famous
thoroughfares
as
Unter
der
Linden,
Alexander
platz
and
Friedrichstrasse,
said
a
dispatch
to
a
Stockholm
newspaper.
Transportation
is
completely
broken
down
in
the
German
capital,
according
to
Swedish
reports,
and
gas
and
electric
services
are
disrupted.
Berlin
was
left
a
great
sea
of
flames
and
explosions
which
even,
through
solid
cloud
overcast,
could
be
seen
for
seventy
miles
by
fliers
returning
from
the
attack.
The
fliers,
some
of
whom
went
through
the
London
blitz,
commented
that
they
did
not
sec
how
Berlin
could
hold
out
under
many
such
bombardments.
The
clouds
were
so
thick
that
the
Germans
were,
apparently,
unable
to
get
night
fighters
off
the
ground.
There
was
no
searchlight
barrage
and
the
defenders
threw
only
flak.
London
observers
said
that
was
"only
a
taste
of
what
is
in
store
for
Berlin."
A
Swedish
newspaper
gave
a
preliminary
estimate
of
ten
thousand
dead
and
injured
in
Berlin
last
night.
