Middle East.The British Government declared French-mandated Syria and Lebanon to be \u201cenemy occupied territory\u201d for the purpose of restricting commerce with them.In Axis hands, Syria could base a land drive toward Suez and Alexandria, via Palestine and Trans-Jordan, and would be a wedge between the British Middle East and Turkey, Britain\u2019s nonbelligerent ally.Bombing of Alexandria, London\u2019s qualified commentators said, is the logical step following German-Italian occupation of the Greek Island of Crete.Alexandria is well within 500-mile or two-hour bomber range of Cretan, Syrian and Libyan airfields, Thus, the report of the heavy aerial assault on Alexandria veas taken to mean that the air Battle of Suez had started full blast, fulfilling the German high command statement that there would be no lull after the conquest of Crete.The casualty report from Alexandria indicated that last night\u2019s attack was by far the heaviest on that British bulwark.It has been repeatedly bombed, however.So has the Suez Canal.The ink was hardly dry on London\u2019s afternoon press editorials begging for a stiffening of Middle East defences when news of the bombing reached here.The Evening Standard spoke of the \u201curgency\u201d of the situation while the Evening News, under a heading, \u201cAction Stations\u201d\u2014the tracmior, naval order for battle\u2014said that loss of Crete was \u201cgrimly serious.\u201d \u201cThe Germans are massing for an assault on Egypt and their seizure of Crete puts new power in their hands,\u201d the Evening News said.\u201cTheir bombers can cramp the movements of our fleet.\u201d The Cairo communique cf British Middle East headquarters, which leaves the reporiing of air action to the Royal Air Force, said simply today: \u201cThere is nothing of importance to report.\u201d Washington, June 5_____{IP) \u2014Re- allocation of the Maritime tanker fleet of the United States appeared certain today, in a quick Government move to cope with the approaching oil shortage in the East.Meanw'hile, administration leaders sought to get a House vote on the legislation asked by President Roosevelt for expediting the immediate construction of oil pipelines.Government officials did not indicate, however, to what degree they were hopeful of reducing the prospective scarcity developing from the transfer of one-fifth pf the domestic oil tanker fleet to British service.It was problematical whether the two-fold attack on the emergency would remove the likelihood of such conservation measures as \u201cGasless Sundays\u201d and lower temperatures in oil-heated homes next winter.Informed sources pointed out that the pipeline bill held no immediate promise of bettering the oil transportation situation, because new pipelines would require from twelve to fifteen months to build.A re-allocation of tankers would help, they said, but the steadily increasing needs of defence industries might preempt much of this additional supply.Defence Petroleum Administrator Harold Ickes conferred on the problem yesterday with Mr.Roosevelt and said later he would call for wider use of existing tanker facilities.His plan, it was indicated, would mean the rerouting of a number of tankers from their present runs to utilize oil sources nearest the industrial East.Apparently anticipating that rerouting the tankers would not solve the problem, oil executives working under Ickes began a study of the application of \u201cGasless Sundays\u201d during the First Great War.To alleviate the expected shortage in oil and gasoline, leaders in the oil industry prepared a list of moves that might be, taken to ease the deficiency in bottoms.Most prominent of proposed pine lines was one from the Texas fields to New York.Its estimated cost was \u2022Ü70,000.000.A twenty-four-inch pipe, it would deliver a capacity load of 250,MX) barrels of crude oil daily in the winter and slightly more in the summer.The report stated that a pipe line from Portland, Me., to Montreal was pxnecterl to he completed by January 1st, 1942.With a capacity of 55,000 Washington, June 5.\u2014(Æ>)\u2014The United States Commerce Department, in a report to President Roosevelt today on the probable effect of the St.Lawrence Seaway upon existing harbors, said New York, Boston and Buffalo \u201cstand to gain much and lose but little\u201d from the waterway project.Striking at one of the major objections to the seaway\u2014the fear of diversion of commerce from existing harbors\u2014the report concluded that additional port activity stimulated by the seaway -would more than offset losses of existing business.Because it is not a trans-shipment centre for cargo originating and terminating in the Great Lakes, Boston Harbor would have the largest net gain from the seaway, the report said.While the report dealt specifically only with New York, Boston and Buffalo, the Commerce Department said its conclusions shed light upon the direction in which other harbors might be influenced.The report was the fourth in a series of seven prepared on the seaway at request of the President.Legislation to authorize the President to proceed with the vast navigation and power project was introduced in the House this week.The report estimated Boston might lose 250,000 tons in foreign commerce, but added \u201cBoston stands to gain a large volume of new commerce.New traffic can be expected in cereal products, dairy products, automobiles and iron and steel products.\u201cNew harbor activity can be expected also from shipment by -water to the Great Lakes of New England products.The conclusion is clear that Boston Harbor will be one of the chief beneficiaries of the seaway.Continued on Page 2,

offing.Territories occupied by the Ger-i man armed forces as well as coun-J tries which have come under German domination more or less voluntarily already are largely geared to | Nazi war production needs.A large ; part of the produce of French (African territories also has been going to the Reich.The new plan, therefore, in its economic aspects at least, will merely formalize a situation which has existed in fact for some time.Then it is for its political and propaganda effects that the German the port dominating the trade routes between the North and South Atlantic.German submarines already are active near the Cape Verde Islands due West of Dakar, and it is considered probable in London that these U-boats use Dakar as a base.Now that the Mediterranean is untenable as a supply line for the British forces in the Middle East, the long route round the Cape of Good Hope becomes a maritime concourse second in importance only to the North Atlantic.Dakar is the key to the safety of this route.Strongly entrenched there, the Ger-mi|ns could play havoc with British shipping, as the British navy has no ports in the region with anything tike the facilities Dakar has.Dakar, too.has

now hear appeals from persons taken into custody under the Regulations with a view to preventing acts prejudicial to public safety or the safety of the state.Sufficient committees should be set up, it recommended in a final report tables yesterday in the House, to \u201cdeal promptly with the cases arising in the different parts of Canada.\u201d Another suggestion was that per-sons detained under the regulations should, when possible, be held in the nearest jail \u201cunder similar conditions, to that of a person being held pending trial\u201d until their appeals have been heard or they have

American Aviation Corporation plant at Inglewood, Calif., would not report for duty.The company has $190,000,000 in defence orders for Britain and the United States.The head of the C.I.O.\u2019s United Automobile Workers\u2019 Union at the plant accused the board of \u201cstalling the workers.\u201d Management and Union officials were in Washington, summoned by the Board in an attempt to compose the dispute.Company officials, preparing to use American Federation of Labor help to keep up production, simultaneously said in a statement they were \u201csurprised and shocked\u201d at the strike call \u201cwhile negotiations are -still in progress before the National Defence Mediation Board.\u201d This new walkout decision war.-announced only a few hours aftei the Board had been denounced by O.M.Orton, President of 12,000 striking Congress of Industrial Organizations Lumber Workers in the Pacific Northwest.Orton accompanied the denunciation with a re- fusal to abide by the Board\u2019s public recommendation for settlement.A closed session of the entire board today was expected to consider steps to counter Orton\u2019s refusal to request his Union, the International Woodworkers of America, to resume work at logging and mill operations in the Puget Sound area.Orton charged that the Beard\u2019s recommendations for ending the twenty-six-day-old strike did not differ from employer proposals.Ic called for immediate return to work pending a fact-finding inquiry by the Board, and a 7 Vi cent hourly wage increase.The Union stood firm on demands for a full Union shop, Union hiring hall, paid vacations and abolition of piece work, as well as the wage increase.Common laborers now receive 67% cents an hour.The C.l.O.is demanding of North American an increase from fifty to seventy-five cents hourly in beginners\u2019 pay and a general increase of ten cents an hour.Imminent threats of strike action in two other essential ingredients of national defence, coal and aluminum, faced the Board.Postponed from yesterday was a By C.R.BLACKBURN (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Ottawa, June 5.\u2014(®\u2014Donald McNiven (Lib., Regina City), charged in the House

Mr.McNiven charged, told the Regina member that \u201cif things were one-tenth as bad as he has described them,\u201d he could gain redress under the Combines Investigation Act.There was no time for Agriculture Minister Gardiner to make a reply at the moment.Mr.McNiven said \u201ceither one or two companies\u201d set up under British Columbia marketing legislation operated to control the fruit

coast.British press dispatches from the Syrian frontier reported that the vanguard of Nazi forces declared already in Syria was being steadily augmented by a process of infiltration\u2014by land, sea and air.Large numbers of Nazis, disguised as Jewish refugees and bearing false Balkan passports, were said to be slipping into the French through Turkey.Under cover of darkness, it was said, other Nazis have been landing on the Syrian coast from small fishing vessels.The Turkish radio, which estimated the Germans had accumulated a full division in Syria, said the Nazis were arriving but declared the Vichy Government was understood to have agreed to provide them with war equipment.Reuters News Agency said German air strength in Syria also was being built up with the daily arrival of a

\u2014Government pressure for increased farm production to meet abrupt demands of defence and lease-lend programmes appeared today to have removed immediate threats of United States food shortages.At the same time, Department af Agriculture reports indicated, the drive was not expected to lighten the financial strain placed on consumers by recent food price increases.Official as well as consumer apprehension over possible scarcity of dairy products has been allayed, at least temporarily, but surveys showing milk production to be running at least five per cent above a year ago.British requests, however, brought a plea from the Department for a further increase of thirty-three per cent in cheese and twenty-five per cent in evaporated milk.An additional increase of at least three per cent in whole milk production is sought to meet a growing domestic demand arising from widespread defence remployment.Poultry production, reported much improved over the situation two months ago when the Department appealed for sharp increases, figured along with pork prospects in the more optimistic note struck by the latest agricultural surveys.This season\u2019s pig crop is- expected to equal that of last season.Further, the Department reported, larger acreages have been devoted to tomatoes and dry edible beans, vegetable items asked by Britain in large quantities, Barring a severe drought, such as threatened in the East before recent rains brought relief, supplies in all these items should be sufficient to meet all anticipated needs, officials said.fexas Dsmocrat Senator Urges

Buy all you can and HELP FINISH THE JOB! Perhaps the most popular of the four platoons was the one which carried on precision drill, but to pick out any one would be unfair since each one performed its duties surely and efficiently.The precision pk-toon showed great smartness in arms drill on the march and at the halt, and the men carried out the movements for long periods without verbal commands, the Officer in charge using a whistle instead of his voice.This platoon also went into action against imaginary aircraft which attacked via the St.Francis Valley.The anti-gas platoon was fully equipped with gas masks and capes, and demonstrated how protection is secured from gas while the men are on the march.The spectators well imagined how Germans would be dealt with as the bayonet platoon drove their bayonets through a series of dummies and attacked with ;ifles blazing, and the P.T.squad bowed how the Army keeps the men in good physical condition by well-planned exercises.At the end of the demonstration the troops formed up down the centre of the Parade Grounds, the companies marching onto their markers, and then wheeled to the left and marched back along the cinder track to Elizabeth Street, while the spectators applauded warmly.Text of Rev.Dr.McGreer\u2019s address follows: \u201cThe first point to be noted in connection with this Victory Loan is that it is a good investment.Three per cent on a Dominion of Canada Bond is a good rate of interest, and there is no better security in the world.I remember an old friend saying: \u2018When U have any money to invest, I choose an investment which will enable me to go to sleep at night knowing that when I wake in the morning it will still be there.I buy Dominion of Canada Bond?.\u2019 So he never had to take a loss in interest or capital, as many a man Th property on Dufferin Avenue formerly owned by Forrest \\Y.Lord was bought this morning by Emue Eioux, local lawyer, at a sale held in the office of Sheriff J.P.C.Lemieux.Purchase price was $15,000.Mr.Rioux was the only bidder for the property, which has a municipal valuation of 825,000, according to City Treasurer Maurice Cormier.He had held the mortgage on the funeral home and property for some time, and told the Record he made the purchase to protect the mortgage.Some time ago an action instituted in an attempt to force Mr.Rioux to purchase the property for $19,000 was dismissed.NOTICE Beginning Saturday, June 7th, during the months of June, July, August and September our store, office, warehouse and coal pockets will be closed at noon on Saturday, J.S.Mitchell &

Loan makes another appeal which must stir us all.It will provide our soldiers, sailors and airmen with the machines which they need for victory.When you see a man in uniform I know you admire him and are grateful for the spirit which has impelled him to enkst in His Majesty\u2019s Forces.Experience, however, has made it clear that in this war men cannot win unless they have the nece-sarv war machines.Our enemy has made no mistake in his estimate of the value of machines.W\u2019e must have guns and more guns, tanks and more tanks, planes and more planes, ships and more ships.It is our duty to see that the men vVho are ready to fight for us have the tools for the job.Xo man or woman is worthy of these men in uniform unless he or she is prepared to make sacrifices for them.We must spend less on ourselves and more for them.\u201cDon\u2019t think of purchasing war bonds merely as an investment.Think of it as providing at least a part of a plane, a gun, a tank, or a ship.We must win this war.We can win this war.But let ns win it with the least possible sacrifice of human life.Let us see that ou» men are equipped with the best machines that can bo made and with all the machines they need.\u201cThis is a time for deeds.Tho whole world knows that Canada is attempting to raise a Victory Loan of $600,000,000.It will be an encouragement to every citizen in the British Empire and to millions of our Empire\u2019s friends, and it will be a message of defiance to our ruthless foe if this Victory Loan is oversubscribed, It will be over-subscribed if every citizen does his best.So

Danville, the universal legatee of an estate of approximately $50,000, has been entered in Superior Court by Thomas Barbeau, of Ceokshire, and the writ of the action has beer, served through the plaintiff's attorneys, Gagne and Desmarais.The plaintiff, who claims to be the nephew and the sole heir by direct descent of Dame Hannan, who died on April 11, 1939, in Danville, alleges that he is entitled to demand the revocation of the will because the defendant had contrived to hasten the death cf Dame Hannan and had restrained her from revoking or modifying the will which she hrd drawn up.In his declaration Barbeau points out that the defendant, who was a neighbor of Dame Hannan, had made herself mistress of the latter\u2019.?house, preventing all communication between Dame Hannan and her relatives and friends, had given her insufficient nourishment and had caused her a great amount of troubles and worries.According to Barbeau, the woman had frequently expressed her -Lslre to change her will, and, particularly, to name her sister, Dame Henriette Hannan, wife of Philippe Barbeau and mother of the plaintiff, the legatee, and it was in order to prevent her from making changes that she had acted as she did.Barbeau alleges that the defendant actually destroyed a second will Dame Hannan man aged to make nullifying the first.No pica has yet been fyled.PROGRAMME BY CHILDREN AT

Who art the author of peace and lover of concord, defend as Thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies.THE H.M.C.S.SHERBROOKE Providing as it does the first direct link between the City of Sherbrooke and the Royal Canadian Navy, the corvette H.M.C.S.Sherbrooke just commissioned at an Eastern Canada port will have the special interest of the people of this community, many of whom will seek to carry on the contact established by the presentation by the City of a gift for the wardroom of the vessel.Naval officials point out that many items to supplement the customary regular supplies issued by the authorities are required for the comfort and pleasure of the men aboard these vessels and suggest that the citizens of the various cities after which the vessels are named might look after these needs.The demands are by no means excessive, being limited to books and magazines, both English and French, games, small radios, survivors\u2019 bags, etc.While individual, direct gifts are by no means frowned upon, the task of supplying these items might best be provided by the creation of a small special committee within the ranks of some existing assistance group to co-ordinate the effort.The call involves no large scale expenditure of money.In fact, actual cash needs are very small, the demand being rather for supplies and materials which many citizens have already on hand.The books need not be new.The mere fact that the magazines are a week or so old in no way detracts from their value and the games can have served their purposes in the home of the present owners.A committee of two or three individuals could co-ordinate the supply and assure its constancy, provided a minimum of co-operation is secured from the majority of the citizens.The appeal of the naval authorities need in no way hamper any other war activity, while it will prove of inestimable value to the men who operate this vessel which is taking its place in the patrolling of the Atlantic sea lanes to assure the delivery of the needed food and war supplies to Great Britain.GREAT CARE NEEDED The serious forest fires, presently raging in the Chicoutimi area and threatening thousands of square miles of valuable forest lands, should bring home to the citizens of the Province the vital need of exercising every precaution against possible causes for starting fires when necessity compels them to enter the woodlands of the Province.The : present spring has been one of the driest in many | years and vast areas of timberland are reported to be in a tinderlike condition, requiring but the smallest spark to ignite large areas.In many districts, the Provincial authorities have found it advisable to close the forests to everybody but those whose business requires them to travel through the woods.While the situation is I not so acute in the Eastern Townships, anyone using 1 the woods should see that any matches are completely extinguished before being thrown away, and that any camp and picnic fires are well-doused before being left, as wind and ground conditions might fan the smallest spark into a major conflagration.The woodlands form a valuable part of the assets of the Province of Quebec, an asset which assumes additional importance due to developments I Overseas which places upon the Province the responsibility of supplying many markets formerly ! served from Norway, Finland and Sweden, and thus [ improving the foreign exchange position of the Dominion, and any loss through fire correspondingly hampers the war effort of the nation, while the transfer of thousands of men to service in firefighting reduces the productive capacity of the country at large.In addition to the national aspect, forest fires also provide a serious menace to life and property in the affected areas, oft-times resulting in the wiping out of growing and progressive communities in newly-established areas.Thus from a national and personal point of view, it is the duty of each and every Canadian to take every precaution against the outbreak and spread of forest fires.PRESS COMMENTS TIMELY COMMENTS LISTEN, OFFICER.I i WAS LIKE THIS THAT FRANCE STILL LIVES j There are too

Vice-Premier Charles Darlan, Pierre Laval and other pro-Axis supporters of the present Vichy puppet-government that French opinion is rapidly swinging around to the German cause, stories coming from botli the Occupied and Unoccupied Zones of France tell of increasing passive resistance for the Nazi overlords.One story tells that in the Latin Quarter of Paris, where the students actively demonstrate against the Nazis, the cafes along the Boulevard St.Midiel are filled with German soldiers.When the soldiers enter the restaurants they unclasp their belts, and bayonets and hang them up.The students copy them by wearing a belt from Which a bicycle pump is suspended by a piece of string.On entering a restaurant they make a great show of removing belt, string and bicycle pump and hanging them up in the German manner.Another story tells of a German officer who walked about Paris for an hour with a piece of paper on his back on which was written,\u201cDe Gaulle Temm.\u201d To the Germans this meant nothing, but to Frenchmen it read, \u201cDe Gaulle t\u2019aime\u201d\u2014De Gaulle loves you Students too are active in Marseille, where a great religious revival is taking place among the young people.They include followers of General de Gaulle who escaped from Occupied to Unoccupied France.Some have been captured and interned in Fort Saint Jean, a former Foreign Legion depot in Marseille.From Caen comes a report of a new form of punishment the Germans are imposing on the French.If a Frenchman is heard saying the word \u201cBoche\u201d he is taken before the Kommandatur.who as a punishment orders the offender to repeat two hundred times the words, \u201cMessieurs, les Allemands \u2019\u2014Gentlemen, the Germans.Caen is among the French towns which have been heavily fined.There, as in other places, telephone cables were cut and a fine of 10,000,000 francs was imposed.Certainly these are not signs of any active desire )i the people of France to co-operate with the Germans despite the best efforts of their leaders lo sell ihem out.FROM THE RECORD FILES OF THIRTY YEARS AGO Considerable excitement was caused in the vicinity of Compton by a brutal attack upon Rev.S.Brewer and Mrs.Brewer.The elderly couple were attacked in their beds by an invader who later set the bed clothes on fire.Fortunately the flames were extinguished before any serious damage was caused.Thomas Gaulin, of Scotstown, lost bis left leg as the result of being struck by a Canadian Pacific Railway train while walking over the railway bridge.An agreement has been reached between the Farn-ham Town Council and the company officials for the erection of the new Robert C.Wilkins factory m that town.It is expected that employment will be given to over one hundred persons.The hostesses at the opening tea of the St.Francis Golf Club were Mrs.A.F.Fraser, Mrs.Hugh Tomlinson and Miss Hunt.The prize-winners in the afternoon competition were E.C.Fraser and

Denny led his last heart and ruffed with the jack of trumps.In order to avoid the end-play that ensued, East would have had tc discard a small trump under one oi the ruffs.But he had let go all hi! diamonds, saving all five trumps.Now he over-ruffed the jack oi ; spades with the king, and then had j to lead a small trump, letting South : make the seven.! South exited with the losing diamond, forcing East had to lead from jais minor tenace and give South the last two tricks.I Denny thus made four odd.doubled at three.Arriving at a London station, an American had his luggage taken to a taxi.Trunk?, suitcases and bundles of wraps were piled up till the vehicle fairly groaned.Then the driver looked at his fare coldly.\u201cThat the lot?\u201d he inquired \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cWell, well.\u201d said the driver, \u201cI s\u2019pose they wouldn\u2019t let you bring the Statue of Liberty with you.\u2019\u2019 A A J 5 VA 8 ?\tA64 «Ç.J 7 5 4 3 4 None VQ1096 4 ?K J 10 2 *Q1098 Denny ^ Q 9 7 4 2 VK732 ?\t75 ?\tA6 Duplicate\u2014N.and South West Pass Pass 1 A\t2 V 3 A\tPass Opening A K 10 8 6 09 8 3 Dealer *K2 3, vul.North East 1\t\u2022?»\tPass 2\tA\tPass Pass\tDouble V 10.\t5 RELIGIOUS LEADER With an air of haughty disdain, a passenger watched a train pull up to the platform of a British station.\u201cIs that my train, porter?\u201d he asked for the tenth time.\u201cNo, sir,\u201d was the reply.\u2018-It belongs to the railway company.\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t be insolent,\u201d snapped Ihe passenger.\u201cI want to know if I have to take that train to Edinburgh.\u201d \u201cYou needn\u2019t do that, sir,\u201d assured the porter.\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019ve got the locomotive for.\u201d PRAYER FOR COURAGE Why should I long for what I know Can never be revealed to me?I only pray that I may grow As sure and bravely as a tree.I do not ask why tireless grief Remains or why all beauty flies; I only crave the blind relief Of branches groping toward the skies, Let me bring every seed to fruit, Sharing, whatever comes to pass.The strong persistence of the root.The patient courage of the grass.Heartened by every source of mirth, I shall not mind the wounds and scars, Feeling the solid strength of earth, The bright conviction of the stars.\u2014Louis Untermeyer.Board was set up and later met on !
