observance tomorrow of the sixth anniversary of the Battle of Britain is a fitting tribute to that small but noble band of men who saved -not only Britain but the entire civilized world from being' overrun by the hordes of darkness.Had the \"thin blue line\" failed in this engagement which culminated on September 15 with the destruction of 187 Nazi aircraft over the British Isles, a Nazi invasion would have been sure to follow.With the British army virtually helpless as the result of the costly Battle of Flanders, the outcome can be easily pictured.The German occupation of the British Isles, the seizure of the Royal Navy, however, would have been but steps in the even greater Hitlerite ambition\u2014the conquest of the world.At that time the democracies across the seas were in a \u2022 state of tragic unpreparedness, the mighty armament programs being then merely registered in parliamentary appropriations or at the best on the drawing boards of the industrial plants, The breaking of the back of the Luftwaffe on September 15, 1940, gave them tune to organize the flow of men and materiel that increased to such a volume that the ultimate defeat of the enemy was assured, Some idea of the critical position the Royal Air Force found itself in is revealed by a statement by Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, who planned Britain's defence in the days of the air blitz, that only seven hundred British fighters, many too slow to catch the German bombers stood between Hitler and victory.Yet this noble band were able to meet the best the Luftwaffe could throw against them.British strategy called for the limited defence of anything but the most strategic positions, the general idea being to conserve the fighting plane power to the gratest possible extent.By effectively carrying out this policy, the Royal Air Force was able to husband its reserves so that the Nazis never gained the control of the air required to permit a seaborne invasion.September 15 has not been officially proclaimed as a day of remembrance but the spontaneous services of thanksgiving which are taking place throughout the Empire offer even greater proof of the appreciation felt by the people than could any fixed celebration.THE STOCK MARKET SLUMP Various reasons have been advanced for the current decline in stock prices which has resulted in billions of dollars being wiped from the values of issues listed on the various stock exchanges.One of these is given by Rep.Adolph Sabath of ' Illinois who claims short-selling manipulated by professionals was essentially the reason and that the big boys pulled a fast one for both monetary and political profit.Mr.Sabath declares: \"I can see no reason for this week\u2019s break .Production is at an all-time high, employment is at the highest peacetime figure in history, and government and private agencies have reported nothing to indicate that stock quotations , , .were out of line.There must, therefore, be a political motive behind this raid on the market.\" The venerable legislator must be given commiseration or congratulation if he sees no cloud on the economic horizon which might be reflected in the attitude of investors.He puts great faith in general statistics.Production is high and employment is high.But what of the quality and prices of the articles produced, and how steady and fruitful is the output of the statistically j employed?What about the recurrent outbreak of national strikes?What about the black markets which add prohibitive costs to prices already high ?What about the disturbing international situation?Should not these and other economic ills have a place alongside Mr.Sabath's cheerful statistics?Are not they possibly legitimate cause for business' concern?He might even ponder the explanation of the market slump given by Joseph Frazer, president of Kaiser-Frazer, even if he rejects the solution as prejudiced and political.\"Big business and little business are bogged | > SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD.SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1946, down with government red tape.\u201d says Mr.Frazer, \"thousands of rules, regulations, reports to make and questionnaires to fill out.The little businessman is spending so much of his time reporting to various government bureaus that he doesn\u2019t have time to run his business and produce or sell his merchandise.Our economy cannot exist half planned and half free.\u201d This may be exaggerating the importance of government planning in the present chaotic state of business, but Mr, Frazer has repeated a frequent complaint which cannot be ruled out entirely in a survey to the possible causes why business suddenly went stone cold dead in the market.\u2018C\u2019MON, FELLAS! LET'S CONCENTRATE ON WORLD PEACE!\u2019 From The Record Files AN INTERESTING SCHEME Road engineers and municipal officials will watch with keen interest the shelter belt program now being undertaken in Waterloo County, Ontario, which will provide a ten-to-twelve rod windbreak of trees for every stretch of road that blocks in blizzards.While the main purpose of the scheme is to reduce the cost of winter road maintenance and reduce the danger of blockades, it will have important secondary results.The first, of course, is the improvement of the appearance of the highways, the wooded areas doing much to relieve the barrenness which features too many of the heavily travelled routes at the present time.Also the trees should provide important shade for the drivers and cut down the accident rate caused by strain from driving in excessive sun.Even more important, however, is the im-piovement in soil conditions which is bound to result, as these wooded areas will to a degree restore the country\u2019s biological balance between agricultural land and forest.The trees will serve to retain much of the moisture now lost by evaporation and in this manner will cut down the dangers of excessive drought.This latter factor is apparently appreciated by the farmers in the Kitchener area, which is located in Waterloo County, who are reported as actively co-operating with the County officials in deeding the land strips required at a fair and reasonable figure.The general adoption of the Waterloo County plan throughout Eastern Canada should result in a material improvement, in the general conditions in the rural areas.aThkw 'wo
