Q The Far East ... ; Events of the past week .or so mark d new height in the scale and intensity of the war in the Far East. While the American attacks against the Tokyo area. by great forces of carrier-born aircraft, and the landings by U.S. Marines on Iwo Jima, south of the Bonins, .ire highlights in the Pacifie theatres, t'hese events have been made possible Canadians Play Part . . . Solid and important achievements are being made by the British-Canadian Forces in their drive from Nij-megen at the north end of the western front. They have pushed the Germans back for fifteen mile's, they have occu-nied a ten-mile stretch on the Rhine hank, thev have inflicted at least six teen thousand casualties, whereof eight thousand are prisoners, and they have j forced the enemy to draw in elements of eight or nine divisions to meet the attack. This last achievement, it is felt by observers, is perhaps the most important of all, for it comes at a time when the Germans, holding the Western Front, are dangerously thin on the ground. After the withdrawal of the Sixth Panzer Army, which incidentally, is still not engaged on any front, the Germans made feverish attempts to build un a fresh strategic reserve in the West but a large proportion of the Divisions which they managed to with draw for building up this reserve has now had to be re-engaged to try to hold the British-Canadian drive. Thus we are playing an important part in the new offensive. Hitler's Message . . . Without National Socialist reconstruction there would be neither a German Reich or a German people today, says Adolf Hitler as tlyi house of cards falls down about him, his Reicli and his ambitions to make his Germans the master race. It is to be wondered if the Fuehrer does not realize that doom for him and his Nazo credo is close impending and that it is his very National Socialism that is about to extinguish the R e i c h after having nearly brought disaster to all civilization. Possibly Hitler's message to the Nazi Old Guard wherein he asserts that "Germany is an unshakable community of people" is but dying bravado.

YUKON NEVER LOOKED BETTER Renewed Interest in Mining, Alaska Highway and Aircraft Factors (By O.

In the Mayo district indivi dual operators continue on re duced scale with the price of diver-lead ore being far from favorable. This district has great ore reserves In sight and when the price of silver comes back greater and renewed activity will follow. The year 1939 reached an all- time high for mineral produc tion In the Yukon being valued at $4,911,321. The increase was due mainly to Increased placer gold production in the Klondike district by the Yukon Cons Gold Company Limited, and also substantial Increases in silver and lead production and a sub stantial contribution from lode gold mining.

Applicants for Jobs who were listed as unplaced at the end of ihp weeklv neriods averaged only 89 per week for 1943, while in1 1944 the weekly average hadj risen to 148. Only Unemployable Are Without Jobs Commenting' on the condition in 1943, Selective Service of ficer E. V. Whiting said that anyone who remained unplaced over a long period at that time did so because he was "There weren't many of them either," he said. "There were Jobs for anyone who could jrct around." The trend of female employment, while on a reduced scale, was similar in two instances to the male employment figures in those two years. Percentages of change, however, were not so extreme. The averages of un-. placed applicants was reversed to the averages for males, being higher in 1943 than in 1944. Total number of women placed In Jobs In 1943 was 2,259, while In 1944 the number had dropped to 1,070. Weekly average of unfilled vacancies In 1943 was 77, while In 1944 it was 55. However, for some unaccountable reason, the number of un placed applicants In 1943 was also higher than in 1944 in spite of the fact that during the earlier period there was also a greater number of unfilled Weekly average of unplaced applicants In 1943 was 65, while in the less active year that fat lowed, it was 54. Contributing caus'e to this may have been a flood of inexperienced women seeking employment at the height of the boom.
