In response to a complaint in the Home that regtrictiortg on implo- menis had forced many farmers to Ibundon their farms, Mr. D. C. Abbott, Pnrrtarrterntary Assistant to the Minister of Finance, declared that the production of 'tgt 2ft menu in 1044-45 would equ- to that of the 1040-41 anon.

Principal provisions of the act are to limit working hours of ern- ployees to eight hours in one day and tony-eight in a week, and to gin every employee " vncaiion of at least one week with pay for - working year of his employment." It seems possiblé that the - _ _ . ...,, L,,, .m.__.-__,.L._. ing. to coal. may not convert back. That regulation is definite.

"for." in the clause just quoted should have been "during," truti it is recognized that courts are bound by the letter or a statute. The‘ legal rights of employees with forty years' service to forty weeks' vacation with pay are pleasant to contemplate from their point of view I Except in the case of war industries, for which special exemptions may be made. and in the case of emergencies in other undertakings.I no provision seems to be made for overtime. Perhaps the regulations: will exempt farm operations from the eight-hour-day limitation. Most) farmers think that eight hours is merely a good start on the Jay's wore, and they require their hired men to subscribe to the same idea. Yet why should there be discrimination against the hired man? Even in wartime, when his services are urgently needed, he cannot command the wages ot an urban worker of comparable skill and in- dustry. There must be times when he would be glad of the sixteen hours for recreation and steep provided by law for other employees. With the normal farm working day, his rest period would thus begin early in the afternoon. His employer would have to look after the evening chores himself unless he was prepared to pay a $25 tine. The practical alternative would be to employ two hired men and work them in eight-hour shifts, but the cost of this procedure would be iustittable only when prices of farm products were unusually high. It is to he feared that the farm hand is out of luck as far as this legislation is concerned. Members from rural constituencies, who farm a majority in all Canadian legislatures, are not going to place obvious burdens on the back of agriculture. The fact that burdens placed on urban industry are also shared by the farmer may some day be realized, but until that day dawns the farm hand must be content to envy the privileges of the urban employee-The Printed Word. vetted from 23$ fuel oil, the type prdinarily y for domestic pea].- Increasing manpower shortage and the nearing invasion of West- ern Europe have created a strong feeling in Parlimaent that the draitee army at home may be sent overseas as reinforcements. To do so the Government would have to invoke the Mobilization Act with the Essible result that 50,000 men in e home defence army might be sent to overseas battle fronts, Prime Minister King in speaking ot the coming invasion said that it would be "the greatest conftiet in arms that has ever taken place in history" and talk persists in Otta- wa that when the time of need comes the Act will be enforced. 1 Regarding a recent report that householders who changed from oil to coal could change back to oil, I asked the Minister of Munitions and Supply Mr. Howe, to give us the truth in the matter. For the clearest explanation I quote Mr. Howe's answer to me as taken from Hansard: "Upon the four great nations which subscribed to the Atlantic Charter" declared Prime Minister Cumin “falls great responsibility. Just as they could agree on ways and means to pool their strength to resist a brutal foe, so surely this prodigious strength can be main- tained and used to prevent a re- currence of calamities such as Hit- ler and his axis Colaborators forced upollidan unwilling and victimized wot I A distinguished visitor, Prime Minister Curtin of Australia. long and sometimes loud discussions on the Bank Act, on Price Board sub- sidies, and on the fuel situation highlighted the week in the House of Commons. Outside persistent rumors of the budget-to-come and eiection-to-come and the possibility that the draftee army at home will he sent overseas, provided addG tional discussion. The Australian Government lea- der spoke to both Houses assem~ bled in the Commons Chamber. In his address there was a strong plea for maintenance after the war ot the international association and collaboration which has been so ef- fective in meeting the attack of the enemy nations. He placed the re- sponsibility of organizing contin- ued strength in peace on the Bri- tish Commonwealth and the three other major partners in the United Nations alliance.

Big Test Here For "llgly Ike” Allied Leader Aside from purely military ac- tivities, possibly his greatest sue- cess has been in getting American, British and French forces to work together as a harmonious team--an accomplishment which made him almost the inevitable choice for supreme Allied commander in the greatest gamble of all-invasion of utope from the west.
