Sara 7 alks
For Animals
BY HAZEL HARTOG
Unitrd Press staff Correspondent

IiOLL1 WOOD, Jan. -.
MOVIEGOERS have never
AA seen her face. but just
about every one OF them has
heard Sara Berners voice at
one time or other. Maybe it was
a turtle doing the talking, or a
Chipmunk. camel or hippo or
other animals but the voice
was always Sara'S.
Sara provides vocal chords for
most of Hollywood's familiar
cartoon characters. She's spoken
for Red Hot Riding Hood, Little
Jasper, Betty Boop and Mother
Goose.
And she has verbally carica-
tured almost every amin a l
known, including the turtle in
The Tortoise and the Hare"
the hippo, elephant and camel
in Speaking of Animals" and
the baby panda in the Andy
Panda series.
Currently, Sara is the voice Of
Jerry Mouse, Gene Kelly's dane
ing partner in the cartoon fan
tasy which highlights Anchors
Aweigh" at Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer.
'Tve been putting words In
animals mouths for eight years."
the pint-Sized brunette said.
One of her performances
helped win an Academy Award
that was Mother Goose
Goes Hollywood" a Disney pic
ture in which she vocally imi-
tated top feminine stars from
Shirley Temple to the late Edna
Mae Oliver. This winner also
spotlighted another Berner tall
ent, that Of impersonationS.
Sara started doing voices for
screen animals after a cartoon
producer nabbed her from q
vaudeville act where she was
impersonating Katharine Hep
burn. Her first job was being
the voice Of a baby panda.

For q United West
From the winnipeg Free Press.

From the winnipeg Free Press.
There has been tendency. and an
unfortunate one, in Western Canada to
propagate the belief that, by some
means or other, it is possible to create
prosperity in great export area by
the adoption of purely domestic pro-
grams of reform. These, in large meas
ure, have been the backlash of the
failure Of the Dominion government
to get adequate results in developing
markets for western farm products. All
these programs involve an inverted form
of protectionism; and protection IN no
matter what form is and must be, dis
astrous to the west. We have already
chance of a new beginning, an oppor-
tunity to get back to first principles and
to Join with the world to put them into
action. It would be tragedy If the
three prairie provinces, because of diff
ferences of view on other and lesser
issues, were unable to get together and
to present a united front on the single
policy which alone can keep us econom-
ically healthy. If we so fail 1t can only
be because group and party leaders pre-
fer some narrow. short range political
advantage to the broader and more
permanent goal.

Can't Change Strategy
Bp Col. Frederick Palmer

the British armies have the task of re-
covering the Malay Peninsula and rails
ing the British flag to fly again over
Singapore.
That task is eased by the enveloping
American air and sea power which have
cut Japan's sea communications prepar-
atory to our military occupation of Ja-
pan In proof of this we are pushing
ahead our schedule by hurrying more
troops direct from Europe to speed up
the concentration for the invasion by
an army which, it is said, may total
100000.
Meanwhile, as the British prepare for
the recovery of the Malay Peninsula, the
Russian shadow lengthens over Man
chuko. Stretching President Truman's
statement that we seek no territorial
gains to exclude for our defense the re-
tention of the islands we have won in
our sweep across the Central Pacific,
when we reach the limit of our gains in
the possession of Okinawa. The war
aim for which we are now fighting is to
end Jap militarism, and for peace In
the world in the interest of all nations
All the islands we have taken in the
Central Pacific have not, combined, the
natural resources equal to one coal mine
in Manchukuo or one tin mine in

The World Today
By Perfinar

With the advent of labor cabinet in
London, the problems of direct concern
to the British trade unions which orig
mate in the payment Of German rep
arations are sure TO be put in stronger
relief than ever before. To this cor
respondents knowledge, two of them
were referred, at Potsdam, to Truman,
Churchill and Stain for final decision.
Those two problems concern: First.
the draft convention to be signed by all
the governments entitled and willing to
employ German labor for reconstruc-
ton; second, clause inserted in the
general statement of principles on Ger
man reparations which deals with the
living standards of the German people,
the level to be maintained under the
four power government of Germany.
&*&
The draft convention was prepared In
London and in Washington. The aim of
its promoters Is to dispel whatever un-
British trade unions on the subject of
so-called German slave labor" and
German "labor battahons." In the
judgment of British and American
unions, German laborers compelled to
WOIk DSyU1lQ SCluldly . 44OAAeACAS
Russia and elsewhere-might easily sink
into a condition not very different from
penal servitude. The unions are fearful
of the effect on local wages, local labor
contracts, etc. They fear the conse-
quences may spread somehow to the
outside world. To ward off such criti-
cism, the convention provides that the
governments to which German workers
will be allocated pledge themselves to
treat them in accordance with the
standards prevailing in the German
homeland among the working classes.
In other words, a German laborer in the
employment of any one of the Allies, If
the convention is faithfully carried out,
is not going to fare worse than his friend
left behind in German factories or in
German fields.
To make certain that the convention
is faithfully carried out in Russia, Po-
land, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia as
well as in France, Belgium and the
