WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Feb. H.
The Winnipeg Tribune said in a
copyrighted story yesterday that H.
year-old Ernie Defort of Winnipeg
had become a normal, healthy
schoolboy as result of an operation
which removed him from a parasitic
twin.
Born with two extra arms, two
extra legs, an extra liver and two
extra kidneys, but with only a single
head and one heart, Ernie was taken
by his mother last October to the
Mayo Clinic at Rochester, MINI.
Later the delicate operation was
performed, the story said.
The Tribune reported that when
the bandages were removed six
weeks later, Ernie was a normal boy
except he appears to have the intel
ligence of a youth Of Is or 10. He
was described as being well up in his
classes and participant in all ath-
letics of his grade.
The parasitic, or partial, Siamese
twin was joined to Ernie at the
chest, the Tribune said. adding:
But where the regular body of
Ernie Defort grew and developed
fully and properly, the second boy
grew and developed slowly"
Even before the operation the boy
was described as robust, strong and
intelligent and able to play with
other children, learn his lessons at
school and become an accomplished
violinist.
The newspaper said that to defray
the cost Of the operation the boy
joined travelling show in 1899.

The Pope Speaks

On the sixth Christmas OF the war
which shrouds the world in sorrow
and privation, Pope Plus XII has
issued a message to mankind which
should rank as one of the outstand-
ing utterances of our epoch. Stand
ing far above the battle" the Pom
tiff deals with underlying realities
and enunciates the basic principles
on which constructive world order
can be established.
Immensely significant is his con-
viction that the cornerstone OF new
and better world structure must be
democracy, both within and between
nations and peoples, the democratic
form of government being "a postu-
late of nature imposed by reason
itself" The foundation of the DEM
ocratic order is the individual human
being, free ito express his own views
Of the duties and sacrifices that are
imposed on him; not compelled to
obey without being heard"
This is, of course, the absolute
antithesis to that wave of authori-
tarianism which arose a generation
ago and produced many varieties of
the "totalitarian state" wherein the
individual Is subordinated to the
absolute rule of a class, caste or
party, with no right of appeal from
its decisions, no security for life or
person, and no chance to exercise
independent Judgment in an atmos-
phere completely conditioned by
propaganda. That is the situation
in every totalitarian regime, whether
it be Nazi, Fascist, Communist or any
other variant of the authoritarian
trend of our times. And it Is that
malign condition which has degraded
the people composed of self-re-
Specting and responsible individuals,
into "the masses" "a shapeless null
titude," moved and nodded from
without by their absolute masters. 1t
is to such arbitrary and absolute
concentrations of power that the
present war is due.
The Pope sees the hope of the
future in the restoration of the con-
cept of human dignity and respon-
sibility in both the peoples and their
leaders, chosen by democratic meth
DDS. He sees the process carried onto
the international plane by an asso-
citation of nations wherein each will
be morally equal and with the COL
lective authority to put down wanton
aggression from any quarter. That
association must be universal, based
upon the principle that mankind is
spiritual unity. This implies that
the world must be guided by prin-
ciples of even-handed justice to all,
with no permanent determinations
between present victors and van
quished. Thus, and thus alone, can
the current catastrophe be construc-
lively terminated and the worlds
wounds be healed And the Pontiff
believes that the very extremity Of
it's misfortunes are opening the eyes
of mankind to the way of salvation.

American attention has been wholly
absorbed, as is entirely natural, by the
great German counteroffensive in the
west; but We may be quite certain that
the German high command is watching
the news from the eastern front with
anxious care.
1t is not good news for the Germans
The Russian Army group of Marshal
Tolbukhin has broken the German de-
fensiye position between the Danube
River and the northeastern end of Lake
Balaton, has taken the railway functions
of Saskatchewan and Bicske, and has
virtually cut the last escape routes of
the German garrison of Budapest except
for one good highway and one second
ary railway.
North of the Danube bend, meanwhile,
the army group of Marshal Malinov-
sky continues to progress, overrunning
communications points and breaking
into the plain which leads to Bratislava,
capital of Slovakia
Thus the fall of Budapest becomes
once more an imminent possibility of
the immediate future. The Germans
have made great sacrifices to hold the
Hungarian capital; what it has cost the
German high command in the way of
drain on their fighting resources will
probably not be known until after the
war, but it has been no light price
which they have paid to delay the Rus
sian advance in that area. Their pur-
pose, of course, was not just to save
the capital of their only remaining
and reluctant-ally. but to prevent the
railway and road hub of Hungary falling
to the Russians, thus enabling the Rus
slams to turn Hungary into great base
of operations against Vienna and South
eastern Germany.
That, however, Is what seems about
to happen now. The value of Budapest
to the Russians as base will be greatly
increased by the fact that the Russians
are now in possession of the main
double track railway from Lwow
through Miskolc to the environs of
Budapest, the most important of the
trans-Carpathian supply routes.
But the steady advance of the Rus
slams in Hungary and Slovakia, south
of the Carpathians, almost certainly
involves a corresponding advance by
the Russians in Central Poland, north
Of the Carpathians. To be more pre-

Brituin's Effort

Although the people of the British
Isles have high hopes that this will
be the last Christmas of the war in
Europe, they realize that the war as
a whole will probably be far from
over at Christmas time year from
now. This is a sobering fact that
has just been emphasized for them
by the announcement that 250,000
more Of their young men - above
previous plans"-.will be called up for
service in the armies of the United
Kingdom during 1945.
Authoritative reports declare that
the decision to effect this far-reach-
ing expansion was made some time
ago and is not connected-except by
coincidence-with the critical battle
precipitated by Won Rundstedt in
Belgium and Luxembourg It's main
purpose, evidently. is to prepare
for an intensification OF operations
against Japan-a move in keeping
with what the Churchill government
has frequently declared: that it pro-
poses to prosecute the war in the Far
East to the absolute limit of its
abilities.
At first glance, the fact that an
additional quarter million men are
thus going to be removed from
civilian pursuits in the British Isles
may not seem extraordinary. But
when we consider that this is an
extra number, supplementing the
total previously scheduled, and when
we consider that the United King
dom-in proportion to it's small pop
ulation-has already modified more
manpower than any other OF the
United Nations, we get better idea
of what it must mean to a people
who have intimately known war and
privation for more than five years
and whom Hitler's v weapons are
still killing off at rate of more than
700 a month.
