THE WAR ' WEEK â€" Commentary on Current Events Naval War Won, AlUes Must Win Air War Before Invasion Launched The air war over Nazi Europe is still growing in scope and intensity, comments the New York Times. Every passing day establishes new records for the number of Allied planes that roam the Nazi skies, for the weight of bombs and incen- diaries dropped on Nazi targets, for the number of Nazi planes des- sti'oyed, and for the relentless fre- quency of the attacks. In fact, in both numbers of men and amounts of materiel employed the air war lias assumed proportions which place it in a special category of its own. It has finally taken the airplane out of the category of auxiliary weapon and made the air arm a major branch of the armed forces, The air war itself has become more than a mere prelude to the main event â€" â-  the invasion. It has become a spe- cial phase of a three-dimensional war which demands victory in every phase, and which tliereby forces a revision of all past calculations of power, especially as they apply to countries like Great Britain and the United States. •'Those Few " It has been an axiom since Ivla- han's day that sea power is the de- cisive factor in shaping world his- tory, and especially in winning wars. For naval power, bj- commandins the seas, also commands the re- sources of the world, and above all assures the communication lines of sea-borne troops. But the r.ioi.!crn three-dimensional war is demon- strating that naval power alone is not enough. There is no doubt that without her naval power Bri- tain could scarcely survive. But it is also true that si'.e could not have survived without tiiose few to whom so many owed so muchâ€" the Bri- tish Air Force, which was as in- strumental as the British Navy in frustrating Hitler's invasion plans. Now the same thing applies to the Allies. The Second Phase l"or naval power alone caii no longer safeguard the communica- tion lijies of an invading force. To assemble the necessary invasion force the Allies had to win the naval war as the first phase of the total war, and even in that phase the airplane played an almost de- cisive role in defeating the U-boat jnenace. Now they must win the air war as the second phase before the actual invasion can be launched. In the end, every war nmst be won in battle on the ground, which marks its final pha.iC. But without victory in the two preceding phases tl'.ere can be no invasion, no vic- torious ground battle, and therefore iTo final victory. Combined Operation It is undoubtedly considerations such as these which prompted Prime Minister Churchill to lay continued emphasis on the air war in his latest speecii. and also to point out to Marshal Stalin the dif- ficulties of large-scale amphibious operations as compared with pure- ly military operations in great land spaces. When the Russian armies met defeat in the initial stages of the war they could retreat for some 900 miles into the interior and. after organizing the full resources of an even vaster liintcrland, resume the battle with greater chances of suc- cess. There was no sue!) retreat for the Anglo-French army, and there will he no sucli reireat for the .M- lied armies oi invasion. 'I'hcv must advance from the moment they set foot on the Continent in order to deploy all their forces. They must be certain that their comnmnica- tion lines remain intact and that the way in front of them has been blasted open. That cannot be done by the navj- alone. It will require a combined operation in three di- mensions which would risk disas- ter unless air victory had been ach- ieved first. Even tiien, Germany with her interior lines and excel- lent land communications might still be able to concentrate an over- whelming superiority at any in- vasio-i point unless her whole war potential has been seriously re- duced. The Russian armies have been accomplishing this reduction at a tremendous pace, and so has the air and naval war which, as the Russians themselves testify today, contributed so substantially to the Russian victories. Things To Keep In Mind These are some of the things to keep in mind when relative accom- plishments in the war are meas- used by the Russian ground victor- ies on the one hand and the Allied stalemate at Cassino on the other It is necessary to keep in mind that th.e American Air Force alone, though scattered on various fronts, numbers nearly two and a half mil- lion men, or more perhaps than the number of Germans fighting on the Russian front. And the con- centrated British Air Force must be at least half as large again. It must be kept in nn'nd that the de- struction of German war produc- tion wrougl'.t by the air war is far greater than could iiave been ach- ieved by any other kind oi bom- bardmer.t. .\nd it must be kept in mind that at the present rate of losses German air power, on which Hitler depended for victory, is bc- in.g eliminated as surely as was German naval power. Westminster Hall One of a shower of German fire bombs which ..ere dropped re- cently in the grounds of the Bri- tish Houses of Parliament, burned a hole in the roof of Westminster Hall. It landed on the slate roofing of that historic building, rolled down tc> the edge where it set the wookwork aflame, but was quickly extinguished before doing nuich damage. Westminster Hall was built by William Second, son ol the Con- queror, ir. ]08T, and attained its present form, including' its famous oaken ceiling in 1399, the last year of the Plantagenet dynasty. From the thirteenth century until 1S82, Westminster Hall was the site of the chief Jiiiglish law courts. It \.as there tl«t Charles the First v.as tried and conden;ned and his son James the Second was deposed. Cromwell was formally installed there as Lord Protector and pre- sented with the Bibk and Sword as emblems of his new office. .\mong the notables condemned to death in the same liall were Wil- liam Wallace, the Scottish hero. tiie L"ar! of Essex, who had enjoyed and later lost the favor of (Jueen Flizabeth, and Guy Fawkes of 'â- gunpowder plot" fame, who be- came the chief victim of his own hare-brained cons|)iracy.

BREWING WDUSTRT (ONTARIO) OTTAWABEPORTS That Tenant Farmers Are On The Increase In All Provinces Of Canada Except Quebec In the forty-year period from 1001 to 1941, the number of farmers who own the land they live on has dropped from 87 percent to 73 per- cent, according to figures of the economist branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Of the nine provinces, only Quebec is the exception. In that province owner- operated farms increased from 90 percent in 1901 to nearly 93 per cent hi 19-11. The years between 1928 and 1933 when farm prices dropped to their lowest level saw the most rapid drop in owner-operated farms across the Dominion. Of the 550,000 full owners who operated their farms in 1941, less than one-half, or 43 percent, had mortgage indebtedness. The prairie provinces, hit hard in the previous years with drought as well as de- pression, ranked highest in indebt- ness. Ontario stood at the half-way mark, and Nova Scotia reported the best standing. * * * Getting package bees away to a good start depends on a number of tilings, according to C. B. Gooder- liam, Dominion .\piarist at Ottawa. First of all, those expecting pack- age bees should arrange with their nearest express or customs officials for prompt delivery. To house the bees, one hive fitted with 10 drawn combs or full sheets of foundation is needed for each package, and from 10 to 13 lbs. of sugar or honey is required to feed them, \\'hen received the packages should be stood in a cool shady place, and the bees fed by sprink- ling a thin solu.ion of sugar and water on the screenings of the packages. Wait for late afternoon or evening to release the bees in their hives unless the weather is cool and cloudy. « ' * * It is not the bees you receive that will produce tlie honey crop, the Apiarist points out. but those which can be reared between the time the packages are placed in the hives and the time the clovers are in bloom. This means that the bees mustn't be allowed to run short of feed at any time. Start feeding as soon as they are in the hive and keep feeding until they are well established and obtaining enough from the fields for their needs. Their best food is honey but it should never be given unless one is certain that it has been pro- duced by disease-free colonies. W'nite sucrar dissolved in water is PIPE THIS Cpl.

King Takes Cover At Invasion 'Battle' live shells screamed overhead as the King watched British troops prepare for the forthcoming ir.uro- pcan invasion during a two-day visit to army units. The battles were so reali.stic that at one lime His Majesty, with a divisional commander and his staff, had to take cover behind a !>ile of tree trunks as massive explosions .sent showers of earth over their heads. As the Royal Kngine-'is laid a miiicfiekl with anti-persoiuiel mines, tli« King suggesied they be called "man-killers." In a 300-«ii1e trip by road and rail, the King saw picked troops practicing beach asSJtlt'- and night raids. He saw the latest pattern of tanks and some of the newest weajHttis. The largest percentage of sui- cides occurs between the ages of fiS and 7i. 1 jtlMlMk £mdm ahih The Pick of Tobacco tiie best substitute. Provincial apiarists will supply the necessary permits for sugar for feeding bees on receipt of full name and address, number of packages or colonies lo be fed, and the minimum amount of sugar required. « * * There are good prospects that Britain will want four or five times as many fresh apples from Canada in 1944 as she received from the short crop of last year. But the Do- minion Department of Agriculture points out that prospects for this increased trade depend on three â- 'ifs". If Canada has abundant supplies: If ocean shipping permits; If Canada's position for pack- ages, packing and inland transpor- tation permits. As a result of last fall's cam- paign ill Ontario and Quebec, over CO.OOO lbs. of milkweed leaves, and more than 10,000 ilis. of whole milk- weed plants have been turned over to the National Research Council where they are being processed, according to Dr. H. A. Senn, Sci- ence Service. Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. It is hoped, Dr. Senn says, that tiie large scale experiments now being carried out in milkweed collected by the rural schools of Ontario and Quebec, will confirm the indications of pre- liminary experiments that the gum from milkweed may be useful for blending witli synthetic rubber.
