F. has been it'sumed on a considerable f^ale. riiough plans for peacetimo readjust- iiifiii advance rapidly, the Dominion's ivar effort on all fron'/S is reaching a aew peak for the final drive. CEYLON OTTAWA NEWS LETTER PLAN TO AVERT ECQ.N'OJknC SLUMP The fact that the Government is proceeding without delay to establish the two new dcpiirtments, the main duties of which will develop after the war, emphasizes that post-war prob- lems are to be tackled in advance, to prevent dislocation off Canada's ec- onomic fabric and avert depression when peace comes. The Prime Min- ister intimated that the main task of the reconstruction department will be to assure jobs to the 2,000,000 men and women now in the armed forces and in various types of war work. One of his most signifigant state- ments was that they must all be socially useful and that their jobs must be as permanent as possible. Though the war situation is serious and pressing for Canadian people, with Canadian forces likely to be engaged in fighting a' an early date on an unprecedented scale, it is now apparent that the Government and Parliament are determined there will be no economic slump in the Domin- ion when victory demands a transit- ion to peacetime modes of living. PLAN TO MODIFY HYDE PAUK PACT Complete success of the Hyde Park Agreement, reached by Mr. King and President Roosevelt in 1941, was re- vealed when the Prine Minister in- dicated to Parliament that it may goon be greatly modified. Made at a time when Canada urgently needed United States dollars to buy war re- quirements across the line, the agree- ment integrated the economies of the two nations for an utmost war effort and provided for huge war purchases by the United States from Canada. The arrangement has worked bo well that now Canada has a large accumulation of United States money and application of the agreement is to be radically changed. This will mean reduction of United States war contracts to Canada, but this n-ill be done by agreement on an orderl" and gradual basis. It may be that some Canadian plants, now working on U. S. war orders.may be able to change over to manufacture of civilian re- quirements for households, construct- ion and business. Workers may also be frpe<l for other high priority war work still necessary. The Hyde "ark agreement not only met the situation it was designed to remedy, but formed the model for in- ternational pacts now in force be- tween many United Nations. lon.nno AIRMEN TRAINED IN CANADA Canada's part in the air war has Ion!' been known to be vas , but its extent was not fully known until Hon. C. 0. Power, Minister for Air, an- nounced that more than 100,000 air crew members have been traino<l in thp Dominion. Last vear 39,000 air fip-'htor's gradoiated fifom Canadian schools.

Because of this rapid movement, his mail may not "catch up" for some time, yet, if ever he longed for a letter from home, it is at such a tiine. To o£Fset possible delays, a new "Short-Cut" mail service has been put into eflfect. A Priority Casualty Card is filled in and rushed by i^r Mail to his friends or relatives with instructions to add the words "In Hospital" to the unit address they usually use. "s Letters mailed froir. Canada bearing the words Hospital" are loulcd direct to the records office in the United Kingdom or the Central Mediterranean Force, as the case may be. They are given preference in transport, whether rent by Air Mail or regular mail. Thus they will reach the addressee faster than ever before. j-f>«5s:iy It is inevitable that in tracing men who have been moved, or wounded, some delays occur. But you can rest assured everything that can mean speedier deliveries of letters to your men is being well and thoroughly done â€" and will be done. When you get a Priority Casualty Card be sure the words "In Hospital" are added to the regular unit address when writing overseas. y ^^3S CAH '♦wo* (Mwt(< by fh« authority of I HON. W. r.
