These forces are made pos. sible, Stalin said, by the formation of military units within the different republics which "will pour into the Red Army's ranks new fighting strength."

2. To officers and generals, to improve their command and tactics. 3. (Most specific of all) to permit the Nazis no rest and to prevent them from rescuing their equipment. 4.

To guerillas, to increase further their aid by attacking the German rear. Reviewing the accomplishments of the last year Stalin said that the Red Army advanced in some places more than 1000 miles and had freed three-quar. ters of the territory the Germans once occupied de in the Soviet Union. During three months of winter fighting alone, he said, the Red Army had driven the Ger. mans from an area almost equal in size to the State of Minnesota and had recaptured more than 13,000 inhabited localities, including 82 cities and 320 railroad stations.

Important agricultural and industrial centres were cleared, he said. Turning to more general aspects of the war, Stalin reiterated Churchill Message Praises Red Army LONDON, Feb. Minister Churchill, in a message to Premier Stalin and the Red Army on the army's twenty sixth anniversary, expressed "profound admiration. of their glorious record." "Inspired and guided your leadership and by their love of the soil of Russia, trusting their skillful and resolute commanders, they will go forward to victory, and through victory to peace with honor," he told Stalin.

He pointed out that in this war two, of the six major powers which opposed Germany in the last war- -Italy and Japan- -had been Nazi allies and that a factor in favor of the United Nations during the period when the Germans were fighting chiefly on the eastern front had been the great strength of the Soviet Union as contrasted with forces of Czarist Russia.

(By Press.) Weir, acting director of training in the pensions department, said today before the Commons reconstruction department that an educational revolution as well as an industrial revolution is possible after the war when the Dominion launches, its greatest adult education program. Speaking after tabling of his lengthy report based on the opinions of thousands of Canadians on rehabilitation, Dr. Weir referred to the educational opportunities being offered members of the forests. Business men's replies to questionnaires indicated they might display "over-timidity" in respect to employment possibilities, but at the same time they expected great industrial expansion in the post war period, he said. WORK FOR ALL.

Despite such incongruous opinions, competent observers believed there would be not only full employment after the war, but also insufficient trained workers for available jobs. John R. MacNicol (P.C., Toronto Davenport), said he would like to see some "concrete evidence" that the government is planning jobs at which men can be put to work immediately after the war. Members of the a armed forces were, for the most part, highly trained, and many would be ready to go to work immediately on discharge. Pensions Minister Mackenzie said plans for post war projects are being drafted and "that will be one of the main jobs of the minister of reconstruction, who is to be appointed by the government." GOOD ARTIFICERS.

Dr. Weir said the training of good artificers was proposed, rather than a large of professional engineers. An advanced technical school course was required. In reply to a question, Dr. Weir said the government will "assuredly attempt to guide men into the right job." "However, we are not going to compulsion.

Special classes in the lower school grades might be established for returned men, since it might not be advisable to mix them with the ordinary pupils in secondary school. Finn Peace Hopes Fade STOCKHOLM, Feb. -Juhu K.

Paasikivi, former Finnish cabinet member whose ar. rival here February 12 led to rumors that his government was trying contact Moscow with a view to negotiating a separate peace, returned to Helsinki today, without any indications that Finland is any nearer getting out of the war. He declined to comment on the subject of Finnish peace negotiations, but he appeared to be in a less jovial mood than on his arrival, impressing correspondents as a man whose mission has been none too successful. When a asked if he planned to a return to Stockholm, Paasikivi said, "I've been here too long already." A possible indication that Russian-Finnish peace is not likely in the near future came from Helsinki yesterday, when it was disclosed that Finnish trade negotiations with Germany were resumed February 18. This step was taken despite United States State Secretary Cordell Hull's warning January 31 that the Finns must break their alliance with Germany or suffer the consequences.
