Canadians look forward to a good Christmas

1

Ottawa, December 18. ·

If glitter and variety of goods in the shops count for anything, this Christmas is going to be one of the best over for Canadians.

Last Christmas was the biggest ever for Canadian retailers...By Christmas Day, nothing remotely resembling a gift was left on the shelves.

London, Docombor. 17.

The American militarists make no secret of their dream of turning the Japanese into connon fod- dor for American "imperialism".

The Soviet daily "Izvestia" sald so' in an article

quoted today by the Moscow radio.

including machine-guns. Big military manocúvres of police forces are now being held in a number of prefectures."
