Mr. HORE-BELISHA went to Aldershot to see the Canadian troops, who are now untiergoing intensive training.
He watched some of the Cana- dians practising signalling. others at work with machine- guns and artillery.
And this was his impress- lon:-
"When one sees these men one has no doubt about the re- sult of the war. I think they
are quite unbeatable,”

New Department To Handle Shipbuilding
THE Governmont's big new shipbuilding drive is to be run by special ||Department attached to the Admiralty.
The new Department is most likely to have a chief drawn from outside the Government's present personnel.
His main task will be to ensure as swiftly as possible, the construction of merchant and naval ships, and for this purpose many shipyards which have been out of use since the 1930 rationalisation period are to be reopened.
This most important decision has been taken after long discussion in the War Cabinet.
When the proposal to speed up and extend Naval and merchant shipbuilding was approved recently, difficulties naturally arose about the allocation of orders between the two services.
There was also the problem
of a shortage of skilled SURVIVED WARSAW
labour.
In the end, it was agreed to follow broadly, I understand, the rrangement made by Mr. Lloyd George at the height of the sub- marine campaign in 1917.
Mr. Lloyd George appointed Sir Eric Geddes to control both Naval and merchant ship con- struction.
Actual building of merchant ships thus passed out of the hands of the Ministry of Shin- ping, not because it had failed, but because of the need for uni- Ged control of shipbuilding in, general.

A STORY of courage in the face of odds ranging from the Gestapo and German bombers to a Berlin prison, the loss of all her property and her job was told by Mias H. M. White, a middle- aged Englishwoman who arrived in Holland recently.
With her came a party of women who had been in Poland since war broke out. They left Rotterdam for London to-night with the British Consular party which had been held by the Ger- mans as hostages for the exchange of Nazi officials.
Miss White said she had not been in England for 16 years. "When the war started, I was teaching English and Spanish in the Polish port of Gdynia,” she continued.
"I lost my job and all my money and my furniture, and I left for Warsaw. I soon got used to the bombing, and found that when I was awakened in
