CANADA AIR FORC ~ SUCCESS AS ON
Meets Specialized Requirements as Full-Time Relieves Load on Army and Navy; Provides Wide Spread, Skilled Training.
Times
. OTTAWA, July 7.—When war broke out in 1939 Canada had one minister of national defense in charge of the
‘three armed services—Army, After almost six months
this post—the late Hon. Norman MacLeod Rogers—faced
the unvarnished fact that he - den of responsibility. * “This job,” he said, “is beyond the physical capacity of
any one man.I don’t worry for myself; what hap- wi pens to the individual at a time like this isn’t of importance. But I do : worry for the job. It simply isn’t being properly done—even although I am devoting. more than 18 hours a day to it. i “Modern warfare has become Maj. Power so technical and so highly spgecialized that any one of the services— Army, Navy or Air Force—is a fulltime administration job for any Government Minister.” A few weeks later Mr. Rogers died in a plane crash. But already he had laid the foundation for three seperate defense departments, and in due course there were appointed, in addition to the Minister of National Defense, who had charge of the Army, a Minister of Air and a Minister of - Naval Services. From that step are dated: 1. The organization in Canada of the great Commonwealth air training scheme. 2. The transformation of the Canadian Army from the infantry-ar-tillery pattern familiar in the last war to the mobile, armored, mechanized force that the present conflict has developed. 3. The expansion of the Dominjon’s Navy from a flotilla of some 15 vessels to a fleet of 180 that is car- _ rying on coastal patrol and convoy ~ work and that has been baptized by fire in the English Channel.
Split Beneficial
Thus, from the splitting of the defense ministry into its three component services, each branch of Canada’s fighting foree has derived direct and substantial benefit. The truth ‘is that to military authorities at defense headquarters here it is wholly unthinkable that the Royal Canadian Air Force
should ever again be denied a separate and independent — though * closely co-ordinated—ministry. The present Air Minister, Maj. C. G. Power—who saw distinguishefl fighting service that left him badly wounded in the last war—expresses the situation in this practical comment: “Under the old system of unified
control, the present Commonwealth tq,
air training scheme would be an administrative impossibility.” Several months ago the govern-
ment stopped publishing figures of |
sthe numbers that were being trained "in the Commonwealth scheme, on the grounds that such information was useful to the enemy. At that time some 12,000 students were in training. It is well known, however, that the plan has since been doubled once, and further extended by other subsequent decisions. But while the Commonwealth training plan
striking single evidence of the value [Butt
of a separate air ministry, it by no _means exhausts the justification for the policy: that the air authorities recognize. . Briefly, that justification is the degree of specialization that aerial warfare has developed in recent years, together with the growing complexity of army operations.

LONDON, July 7.—Foreign Minister Anthony Eden’s straight-for-ward &nd vigorous declaration to |a Leeds audience on Saturday, that Great Britain is not in any circumJob; stances prepared to negotiate with Adolf Hitler, was the first British broadside to be delivered against the impending peace offensive which the Germans are known to be planning. His announcement that the foundations for a new Europe will be laid in Britain, Z and not in Berlin, was designed to counteract hectic German endeavors to. confront Britain and the United States with a German: federated Europe. The broad outline and some of the details of the Nazis’ plan for presenting a peace ultimatum 2 the Mss Kirkpatrick British and Americans are known in London. The ultimatum is to be presented when the German campaign in Russia is successfully concluded. The German Gen-

was carrying an uneven bur-
ministration, production, research and tactics. A : The growing complexity of Army operations means that a unified administration has ever less time to spare from land problems for those of the air. Another factor is the: ability of the air authorities, under the new setup, to co-operate effectively with the independent air ministries of other parts of the empire. No time need be lost while the air authorities submit their plans to some central control. Canada has had a separate air ministry for something approaching a year now. And already the experience has been such that the defense authorities say the policy is firmly established for all time to come.
BISHOP SAYS FDR HOLDS KEY TO WAR
WASHINGTON, July 7 (U. B). —Practical strategic considerations in the world today require that questions of when or how the United States goes to war should be left to the President as com-mander-in-chief, the Most Rev. Joseph P. Hurley, Catholic Bishop of the St. Augustine (Fla.) diocese said last night.
The prelate said in a nation-wide radio broadcast that the question of peace or war “can be decided only with reference to the safety of this| union” and that the people should not decide it because they do not have the experience, nor. access to the facts “nor does the Constitution demand it.”

eral Staff, which insisted upon the Russian offensive, estimated that the campaign would last six weeks. Meanwhile, the Berlin Propaganda Ministry has been preparing the ground. Eden, however, anticipated the first attack and launched his broadside 12 hours before the Rome radio sent up a trial peace balloon. The German plan falls into two parts. The first requires the occupation of Russia from Archangel to Astrakan, but there is some reason to believe that Hitler will express himself as satisfied with less should Russian resistance indicate that the campaign would be prolonged beyond the summer months. With the bulk of industrial Russia under German control, the Nazi leaders have been. convinced that they could confront Britain with a completely subjugated Europe and an ultimatum to accept it. Germany’s experts on the United States, apparently, have promised that they could line up many conservative American elements by the spectacle of a Europe freed from the ‘Communist menace and could obtain their collaboration in forcing Britain to make peace. The second part of the peace plan covers the organization of Germany’s “new order” on which work is being rushed in order to present the world with a new and tidy Ger-

man federated Europe, at the same time as the German forces conquer Russia. Everything has not gone according to plan as yet, however. Japan is being put under the heaviest pressure to attack Sieberian Russia but, so far, Tokyo has shown no signs of yielding. Instead, large numbers of Japanese troops which have been concentrated on the Manchukuo - Siberian border are being sent southward and there is a firm belief in diplomatic circles here that Japan will seize the opportunity presented by the GermanRussian war to occupy the whole of Indo-China. The Japanese policy is seen here as one of opportunism based on the desire to expand as far as possible without German help but, also, without further antagonizing Britain, the United Sttaes, or the Netherlands East Indies. The Japanese are believed to have reacted badly to German attempts to buy their way into the Dutch East Indies. Having failed as yet to get Japanese co-operation, the Germans are working hard to organize the occupied countries of Europe. Only in some have they succeeded in establishing Quisling governments who can later form a pseudo-feder-ation of so-called independent states. Their latest attempt is to set up
oe ™ : So (=
a g Government in Poland where the Germans have been trying, since October, 1939, to get a bona fide Pole to accept office under them. They are now making a most generous offer to Count Albert Postworowski to induce him to accept the position. He is being promised an “autonomous” Poland extending some 500 miles and .covering considerable Soviet territory. The British and Allied governments here are fully informed on progress in occupied countries and they are using every facility—radio and underground channels—to inform the peoples in these countries of the postwar plans being worked out in London. The most hopeful development along these lines is the projected Polish-Russ-ian agreement. It would be premature to describe the siuation between the Poles and the Soviets as settled, but both sides, with the United States acting as intermediary, have. indicated their willingness to bury the hatchet and conclude an agreement to the detriment of the Germans. The conditions asked by the Poles, and supported by the United States, are two: Release of all Polish prisoners held in Russia and facilities for them
Germans; freedom of religious worship. This latter: condition is believed to have been laid down by President Roosevelt before he would con< sider giving Russia any American material. All reports from neutral correspondents reaching here indicate that the principal obstacles to free worship have been removed and all Moscow churches are filled with people praying for victory. The question of Russo-Polish frontiers has been discussed and each side shows willingness to meet the other’s viewpoint. Actual demarcation will probably not be agreed upon until the present phase of the German-Russian war is over. But the fact that these two hereditary enemies are able to collaborate demonstrates the intensity of their opposition to their enemy No. 1—Nazi Germany.
