His best interests and, therefore, Canada's will be served in a rationally reformed national structure wherein full production, full employment and maximum security, without loss of freedom, exists." There was an urgent need for reforms in the economic system and Canadians were prepared "to go right to the edge of the precipice in making, needed reforms for our people, but there they must part company with those 'who would lose their balance and go over the precipice into the unfathomable depths of chaos and i 'Japanese Fighters As Good as Ever i A SOUTH PACIFIC AIR BASE, Jan. 19.

'fj 1 The British Government is known to be willing to act as mediator, along with the United States, if invited by both parties.

Poland has proposed such mediation but the Soviet Government has not supported the move. It is generally believed that an attempt will be made to carry on negotiations through third parties without any public statements. Replying to Moscow's suggestion that the Curzon Line be used as a basis of negotiations in the border dispute, the Polish Government last week suggested that the issue be settled at a 'four-power meeting, with Britain and the United States sitting in as mediators. To this Moscow replied that it Interpreted the Polish Government as a rejection of the Curzon Line suggestion.

W.

J. Brown, said there "was "grave feeling in the British armed forces" over the disparity and Capt. Leonard F. Plugge, Conservative, suggested a common pool for the: payment of British and American troops. The idea was nojt elaborated.

Reporters did not get the name of the member who shouted "do you want to start another war?" Replying, Major Clement Att-lee. Deputy Prime Minister, said it was "quite impossible to arrive at an adjustment in view of the different rates of pay and different costs of living" in the various theatres.

"Some of the increase from October to November may be attributed to normal seasonal tendencies, but some is due no doubt to changes in emphasis of the production of war needs resulting in layoffs of workers who cannot immediately be the report said. Increase was also reported in applications for employment by insured persons which numbered 194,431 in the four weeks ended December 2 with 48,171 unplaced at that date.

Survey parties of the R.C-A.F. and transport department now are in the field- attempting to set out sites on, Canadian soil, the Wartime Information Board said in a review of northwestern developments. These fields will connect with the present Mackenzie river chain of airports from Fort McMurray, Alta to Norman Wells, N.W.T. The extension will involve the construction of' airfields at Good Hope, Arctic Red river and Mc-Pherson, all familiar ports of call for Canadian airmen using planes with skis or floats since 1929. Other fields will be constructed at chosen points in Yukon territory and Alaska.

The new route will be alternative to the Edmonton-Whitehorse course, and may be used when weather conditions further west are poor. Construction other airfields along the Mackenzie river have been undertaken by United States army personnel or their contractors, and authorities said they believed' wprk on the extension probably also would be a United States undertaking. The northwest staging route was built by Canada at -a cost Of $25,000,000 but has been used extensively by United States machines since 1941. MRS. AUGUST R.
