CIO DECLARED TO
HAVE CONTROL OF
CANADIAN UNIONS


Fredericton, N. B. (ILNS) - That
the G. /. o. has wrested control of the
All-Canadian Congress of Labor from
the purely Canadian unions, which had
been the original exclusive compost
tion, is the contention of R. B. Han
son, of Fredericton, temporary floor
leader of the Conservative party in
the Dominion parliament.
Hanson, former member of the
Dominion government, and veteran
legislator, said in a statement here
that the C. l. O., having gained con-
troll of the congress of wholly Ca
madam unions, has started plans for
merging with the Canadian Cooper

Free of interest loans from various
British trade unions to the govern
ment now exceed 100000 pounds ster-
ling. All these contributions have
been made since July 5, when the Gen
eral Council of the British Trade
Union Congress decided to transfer to
the treasury 10000 pounds sterling of
its funds free of interest and to rec
ommend affiliated unions to follow
this example wherever possible.
The contributions are indicative of
the kind of support British labor is
giving the nation in its war against
Nazi aggression. 1t is one of the
many proofs that labor has made up
its mind irrevocably to end the Nazi
menace and will do all in it's power
to bring this about.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

1t will be good when the election is
over and Defense is no longer as much
matter of national politics.
Nobody can today really know how
Defense stands and nobody can be
sure just what international policy is
all about, because both of these things
get kicked around in the poplitical
ring, which is none too clean.
Is Defense moving too slowly, or is
it going o. K? Are we provoking
war in the Orient, or are we doing
the right thing?
Your answers, when you get them,
are likely to be loaded with partisan
thinking and partisan reporting.
1t will be good when these things
can be looked at without the necessity
of trying to see facts through screen
of propaganda smoke.
Labor is vitally interested in our
whole Defense picture and in our for
eign policy, for lot of good reasons.
And, while thinking of these things,
labor might remember the recent
statement of Ernest Bevin, England's
No. labor man in the Cabinet, to the
effect that there is no room now for
silk hats in the foreign office, nor for
brass hats in the army
A lot of brass hats ride on top of
bone heads.
Best evidence that can be dug
up indicates that Defense is NOV
ing at real speed. Labor is help

Plane production probably heads

But guns and tanks and all other
things are rolling, too
Some bottle-necks, to be sure-but,
remember that six months ago we
were still talking in terms of peace
time production. We have turned
around and started this new course
with amazing speed = breath-taking
speed.
We probably don't half realize our
new appearance yet. It's like looking
at picture of mountain and then
looking at the mountain. We haven't
even had chance to look at the
mountain.
AS for the Orient, there's some
thing to think about.
Clearly Japan started out to bluff
the United States down, or else to
force war.
Japan made the threats-not the
United States.
The United States could back down
AS Chamberlain did at Munich-or
stand up and say mo farther!"
Japan, tied up with Germany and
Italy, was set to grab every inch if
the United States got scared and
pdChcu up.
If we miss war in the Pacific it
will be because we didn't back down.
But that picture is being distorted
all over the place. japanese and Nazi
propaganda are partly responsible for
that distortion.
We do have to look out for foreign
propaganda. This morning there came
to this desk volume an inch and
half thick-Nazi official propaganda,
printed in the United States.
The Japanese, too, are very busy.

Counting of Noses Is
Not Just Human Noses

Actual work in this counting of
noses has already started. And when
say counting noses" the term is
rather broader than just human
noses. For, as an example, the
first nose counting is directed at
enumerating businesses and manu-
featuring Adjustments and mines
and quarries. Census representa-
tives will visit something like 3,000,-
600 business concerns, including
about 170,000 manufacturing plants
and establishments. These figures,
Of course, are an approxim alton.
The census viii show exactly how
many there are, what they did in
the way Of retailing, distributing,
shipping, servicing, manufacturing
all through the list to the single
gasoline station and the dry clean
ing shop on the corner.
Then, along about April /, there
will be large army of real nose
counters start to work. They will
visit your house and mine and every
other one and it is expected they
will find at the end of the month
that there are more than 81, 000, 900
dwelling units where people live and,
further, it is believed they will have
counted upwards of 132, ZOO, 900 folks
in the United States. To do this
job and the other phases of count
ing, roughly 128, 900 men and wom-
en- are required.

Television May Help Generals
Fight the War of Tomorrow

NEW YORK. = Television
l ' looms as a potent force
in the high-geared war of the
future, though World War II
has come too early in tele-
visions development for any inme-
diate use.
For the past few years military
experts have been scrutinizing tele-
vision and its adaptation for war
purposes. 1t may become vitality
important in eliminating the time
lag in scouting and reconnaissance
activities.
At present, aviation and aerial
photography have speeded up rec
onnaissance to a tremendous de-
gree. The most important thing
for an arny's general staff to know
in war is what the enemy is doing,
where it is located and in what
troop dispositions. The airplane
and camera provide the fastest pos
sible means of transmitting this in
formation, but it still takes time
too much time for lightning war;"
Television will make such infor-
nation immediate. General staff
will see enemy locations and move
ments picked up and transmitted
from a reconnaissance plane, as
they are at the moment and will be
able to act without delay.
To determine when and how tele-
vision can best be used for military
purposes, army chiefs are intensely
interested In the status of television
today.
What is that status?
According to engineers in the lab
oratories of Philco Radio & Tele-
vision corporation, leaders in tele-
vision development, general use of
television is some years away.
''This is an age of miracles" was
their consensus, ''but not of over
night miracles. There must be time
for orderly and sound development
in television. Philco's television re-
search engineers, for instance, have
worked out many basic advances in
the past Is years and feel there
are as many more fundamental i'm
provements yet to be made.

Information Will Help
As Guide to the Future

I suspect that the current census
will produce lot of information that
will be classifable merely as infor-
nation. That is, there is bound to
be a chunk of the facts and statistics
which will serve no immediate use.
That is the way of things done by
the government. But individuals,
business and government each will
find things of value, information to
help as guide to the future.
We can look back to the census
of 1870 and see where our population
averaged As persons per square
mile of the then United States and
we can then see how, in 1880, it was
Alb persons per square mile. That
is the average for the nation; one
area will be very much less, an
other will be very much more, and
It is vital for a manufacturer or
wholesaler or a retailer to know
how many prospective customers
there are IN given area.
And this information extends on
down the line to baby buggies. The
stork had been flying into homes at
the rate of about 5000 a day in
the ten years prior to 1880. Death,
with his scythe, had been taking his
toll at the rate of about 1000 a day
from 1920 to 1880. What has hap
pened since? The census will tell
us sometime next fall and it will
tell, in addition, whether great
many factors that influence our lives
are subjects to be dealt with by poll
ticians or must remain in the hands
of mother nature

after all, the automotive indus
try took 20 years to attain a high
degree of efficiency and widespread
usage. Although radio broadcast
ing was first accomplished as early
as 1905 it was many years before
it reached the network stage.
According to these Philco engi-
neers, "television can become the
most important means of communi-
cation the world has ever known"
Television receivers have already
reached a comparatively high stage
of efficiency, but there are several
important scientific obstacles to be
hurdled and goals to be achieved.
A new technique for production of
television programs must be found;
many sources of interference, such
as diathermy machines and auto
mobiles without suppressors, must
be corrected.

And there's only one sure cure:
A winter vacation!
Three strange and unrelated de-
velopments have placed American
sand, sea and snow in the lime
light this year. It's the biggest win
ter vacation year we've ever seen,
and that applies to the entire ma
ton.
First there's the war. Wealthy
vacationiSts who once wintered on
the Riviera and points east are stay
ing home this year. For the first
time they've discovered that to "see
America first is a practical idea.
Two Weeks Off-With Pay.
Second, the winter vacation is no
longer rich mans luxury. Over
night John Public has discovered
(if he's an Office worker) that he
can take his two weeks off in Janu-
airy as well as June, and with no
extra expense If he's a northern
farmer with just few miscellane-
Gus chores around the homestead,
he'll find it almost as economical to
head south for the winter. The va
cation spots are catering these days
to plain folks like you and me, who
haven't lot of money to spend.
Third, there's a refreshing new in
terest in outdoor sports. Fishing,
horseback riding, swimming, skat-
ing, skiing-aQ the thrills of a Win
ter or summer vacation are access
sible in January if you'll look for
them.
Outdoor Sports Boom.
It isn't many years since we holed
In for northern winters and envied
the southbound birds. Nowadays
the winter resorts do a thriving
trade all the way from New Hamp-
shire's hills to Oregon's famed Tim
berline lodge on Mount Hood. The
swish of skis vies with the ring of
skaters heel on crisply cold land
scapeS whose silence is broken only
by the shouts of happy sportsmen.
A great life, this, with its moon
light picnics and sleighrides, its
glowing cheeks and CHEEKY fresides.
Great for some folks-but not for
the indolent. They'll take Florida
in the winter, where fellow can
just lie on a sun-baked beach and
forget.
Miami and other resort spots, both
on the east and west coasts of Flor
ida, report the biggest year in a
decade. You can get what you want
