Minority Hurts Cause NO ONE DEPLORES the savagery of the Jewish minority in Palestine more than the great majority of Jews. No one regrets the counter-"violqnce of a few in Britain more than the citizens of the British Commonwealth who are proud of British justice which preserves the rights of all withput regard to race, color or creed. Jews have enjoyed greater .appreciation in Great Britain than elsewhere in modern history. In 1917 Great Britain undertook, in the Balfour Declaration, to aid peacefully in establishment of a national home for the Jewish people to the extent that this ' could he done without encroachment upon the civil and religious rights of non-Jewish communities existing in Palestine. That promise has been kept ; but others have read into it much more than it meant,. Misunderstanding, false accusation atid prejudice have grown into the Palestine problem - wjiicluiow is one of the menaces to the )eace of the r woi'ld.

These men share with the thugs of Palestine the blame for the vast harm that con-tinus to be done to the cause of Jewry and to the cause of peace. Mob violence is intolerable in Palestine or Britain.

LETS BE CITIZENS AGAIN WHEN LAWS ARE MADE for citizens, and apply equally to each in like circumstances, freedom flourishes and the people prosper. When the laws are made for groups and classes, giving special privileges and the power of government to .minorities, freedom withers and production declines. Great Britain has been compelled by the growth of special privileges, for labor, industry, ture. and civil servants, to admit cnrnnuisnrv ' - 7 1 1 ' measures which impair freedom, destroy co-operation, prevent choice of occupation, preclude auto-,f matic rewards for initiative and enterprise, and A. .L 1 I ' ' restrict production. Canada should make sure no privileges are allow-ed.-which are not clearly compensated by national benefits which accrue to all citizens alike. We ; should stop creating privileges for employees, employers, farmers and civil servants, and start regarding ourselves as citizens again. Laws adequate to the protection of our' rights as citizens are sufficient to safeguard all of our rights. There was a day in Canada when a minimum of law produced a maximum of personal and public good, at a minimum. of public expense. THIS AND THAT "You mean you flont give any prizes for this quiz?"

O. Large's letter to the editor dated August 27 and being one who has a good deal more respect for action than talk, I write this letter only In defence of those few hard working committee members who untiringly labored for weeks voluntarily and In many cases at financial cost to themselves far in excess of the average cash contributions which however, were highly Satisfactory, and in some cases could have been considerably smaller if the contributors had been more greatly numbered. The same can be said for com mittee members, the valuable time they unselfishly gave could have been considerably less and more could have been accomplished If their numbers had been greater. For the benefit of all would- be "after the-show is over" critics I would like to point out that practically all, though not all, sections o the marine community were voluntarily represented on the Pprt Day committees, both organizational and active, among which were the harbor master, the local naval unit, fish packing companies, the Fishermehs' Co-operative the Vessel Owners' Association, Deep Sea Fisherman's Union, the Sons of Norway and the shipyards. Meetings were in session weeks before Port Day. Su jgestlons and ideas were a dime a dozen and all were dealt with In a most democratic manner. Unfortunately (for next Port Day) there are no new suggestions among those pffered-by Critic NO. l. Perhaps this should suffice, but for the benefit of the obviously enthusiastic public and those who miglf t have and didn't attend organizational meetings, I would llke.to clarify for the un informed and I refer to them numerically only. 1. The triangular course for the heavy class events was un anlmously thrown out on sug gestlons from many quarters Including some of the entrants themselves. The reason being too great a rls'k of collision on the turns. 2. The one volunteer boat available for patrol duty did marvellously well against ter rltic odds. 3. Although the suggestion is a new one we will. give that point. (Exhibiting c event numbers from judges' float) N 4. All contestants were sign ed up In advance, strangely enough the mapority from out of town. 5. Printed programs were not available .until contribution lists were completed. Complete programs of events with entry form attached were distributed in stencil form and also published . in the press. Good response was received from the more inter-, ested groups. 0. The sailboat race was listed technically because a perpetual trophy had been won by two dif ferent contestants on previous PortDays. The. only possible opening left for additional events was reserved for the. very Important spec tator pleasing seine setting event. W6 of the Port Day committee agree that Port Day was not nearly the success It might have been nd we are aware of many faults on board our ship but we also see many troubles by looking outboard, port and star board, fore and aft. It Is amazing Indeed that 80 oer cent of the boats that should have been In the parade turned out to watch It go by. In closing Mr. Editor may I say that if the co-operation from all quarters had compared with that of the press, Port Day would indeed have been a much greater success. Thanking you for this space, Yours truly, A. P. CRAWLEY, Chairman , Port Day Committee. Flowers Are Sold For Good Causes The sum or $15 was realized fori the Leonard Campbell and Plo-l neers Home Comfort, funds as a result of a sale of donated flowers and plants on Saturday evening at the Civic Centre Carnival following the Flower Show. Plants were donated by Mrs. W. Hull and cut flowers by C. P. Balagnb arid Mrs. G, O. Campbell. Tlie sale was conducted by Mrs. Ross Richardson with the assistance of Mrs. A, G. Bartlett. REMOVING DISCRIMINATION (Editor, lially .news: The Qivic Centre Carnival in which the Kinsmen candidate. Barbara Wilson, representing the Indian organization called "The (Native Brotherhood of B.C." had the honor of being the Port Queen, shows to many people that the "bonds of discrimination" to the red man from the white man is gradually breaking. This is ne of the many Instances that will bring us of the Indian race and those of the White race closer togeUier. Many pecple of Prince Rupert have shown a grand sportsmanship in supporting Barbara Wilson as it has been two years in succession that "Native girls" have triumphed over their competitors. A Kinsman from Lang-ley Prairie purchased $140 worth of tickets and it was through his purchase that Kinsman candidate Barbara Wilson won an overwhelming majority In votes. It Is people like this gentleman and those of the Kinsmen that will bring our bonds of friendship together. They see a future of great advancement In our race. A very merry time was enjoyed by all last week. We wish to thank the editor for making it possible to have this printed. (MRS.) STELLA JEFFREY, Record'.us Secretary, The NaUve Brotherhood of B. C.
