1910 — PRINCE RUPERT DAILY NEWS — 1962 An independent. newspaper devoted to the upbuilding of Prince Rupert: and Northern and Central British Columbia.

Red or dead? says who? he expression “Red or Dead” has a fair measure of rhyme but precious little reason. To suggest that the only alterna- tives open to adult Americans are mass death in nuclear war. or capitu- lation to Soviet domination is to con- fess a belief that under conditions of peace one cloesn’t believe that we can win the ideological and economic hat- tle with the Communist system. ... Given the productive capacity, the revolutionary economy, and the in- tellectual flexibility of the American system, it seems to us that in any com- petition with the Soviet Union, time, wealth, and a big head start put us far out in advance... What should our attitude toward the Communists be? First, let’s face up to the fact that if we don’t have to admire them we do have to live with them. Sensible men will make this sit- uation as satisfactory as possible. Let us look to our strength, both material and spiritual, with confidence and maturity. Let us weleome compe- tition with the Communist bloc with a whole heart, assured if we’re the better men we think we are, we'll win. For make no mistake about it: in nu- clear war neither we nor the Russians would win... Let's get off the defensive, and coneentrate on living rather -than planning for death. We are a young and powerful nation. Thanks to en- lightened people in our society we’re still free. And in matters of revolu- tion, we’re still way out ahead. ——Winchester (Mass.) Star. Point of interest Os “AN the warnings “about Canada’s urgent need to become more competitive seem hardly to have. registered with: the average Canadian. The man.in’ the street appears to be not so much bored ; “totally disinterested.” These are - ‘the words of 2 visiting foreign newspaperman. And for all our sakes the hope must be that he erred on the side of pessimism, and that appearances are deceptive. But. the hour is late for illusions. As we tot- ter through the early stages of 1962 few things maéter more than that Canadians shall indi- vidudlly understand the extent to which both job security and living standards depend on our becoming more competitive. Nothing affects a man’s life and outlook so much as his job; what he does, how much he igs paid, what the future holds. If he is at all we Rich men Publisher Roy Thomson, who owns a chain of Newspapers and magazines in Britain, Can- ada, and other countries, is troubled by the s easier for camel | te pass : through. the eye of a needle “can for aorich man to enter the kingdom of cee" Tn a television interview he said, “I Decnipie ta disagree with that saying, but I heyday Co This scunds as though salvation for the rich io dapassible Actually, the statement is a com- Menlo ob a dieeting Jesus had with a wealthy nan who wanted to know how he could be saved and was -pansible way. the ri¢A man, The implication is that meet told to use his wealth in a re- The challenge was too much for if a wealthy man the responsibilities imposed upon de es intelligent he knows jobs don’t just happen. In industry they exist because someone has put up the money for jobs, management directs them, employees devote their skills and capaci- ties to them, Any job lasts only as long as the product it helps turn out is an attractive buy and can be sold at a profit. No profit, no job. A simple truth, this applies as much to a nation as to a company. Whether a nation advances or de- clines, whether its people live well or badly, depends on whether its assets are used to best advantage, how efficiently it produces, whether its production sells at a profit in competition with other nations. None of us can afford to be totally disin- terested in becoming more competitive if we value our jobs, our standard of living, or our future. _- The Prince George Citizen and heaven him by his holdings, hig chances are as good as those of the poor man. The parable of the camel and the eye of a needle is to emphasize the demanding quality . of self-denial. A poor man doesn’t have to wrestle with temptation in this regard, but let the poor man get rich and the temptations in- crease. The good life demands the same self-denial from every man, rich or poor: Withstanding popular sins; conquest of niggardliness, renun- ciation of tainted income; sacrifice of comfort and life, if need be, to fulfill a special vocation; daily self-renunciation, without which home and neighborhood are impossible.
