COLLAPSE
of
the
Big
Four
foreign
ministers'
THE
conference,
which
adjourned
yesterday
without
even
setting
a
date
for
reassembling,
was
not
unexpected
but
it
was
nonetheless
disappoint
ing.
Weeks
ago
when
it
opened,
it
was
gloomily
forecast
even
in
these
columns
that,
owing
to
the
uncompromising
attitude
of
Russia,
it
would
probably
end
like
this.
Much
happier,
of
course,
would
everyone
have
been
if
the
pessimistic
prognostications
had
failed
to
materialize.
With
no
Austrian
peace
treaty
in
sight,
much
less
a
prospect
for
a
settlement
of
the
future
of
Germany,
it
is
indeed
a
confused
and
dismal
outlook.
The
penetration
and
consolidation
of
the
Russians
for
political
and
economic
position
will
go
on.
The
western
nations
will
keep
on
aiding
on
an
eii'crgency
basis
the
nations
which
are
starving
and
bankrupt.
Armies
will
have
to
be
maintained
to
keep
order.
This,
because
the
conference,
unfortunately,
has
ended
as
we
expected
but
not
as
we
had
hoped.
Some
of
the
new
model
cars
have
scarcely
enough
ground
clearance

BASKETBALL
DISPUTE
CONSIDERABLE
AGITATION
has
developed
in
v.
local
basketball
circles
during
the
past
week
by
discussion
in
the
press
and
elsewhere
of
recent
incidents
of
playing
floor
misdemeanours
and
the
adequacy
or
otherwise
of
penalizing
those
responsible.
Not
h'aving
been
there
ourselves
we
are
not
in
a
position
to
judge
of
the
seriousness
of
the
offences.
Without
implying
any
blameworthiness
on
the
part
of
any
one,
it
does
seem
to
us,
however,
that
there
appears
no
good
reason
for
continued
ac-rinioniousdiscussion.
If
players
are
careful
and
clean,
if
game
officials
are
capable
and
decisive
and,
if
the'
governing
body,
in
this
case
the
Prince
Rupert
Basketball
Association,
keeps
due
control,
there
should
be
little
difficulty
in
keeping
play
within
bounds
and
the
game
interesting
and
wholesome
and
attractive.
There
is
a
difference
between
competitive
interest
and
acrimny.
The
latter
should
not
be
permitted
to
continue.

FATE
OF
PENSIONF.lt
Editor,
Dally
News:
I
would
like
you
to
publish
a
letter
In
your
paper
about
the
fate
of
a
friend
of
mine
who
passed
away
recently
an
eld
age
pensioner
by
the
name
of
Samuel
Beaton.
I
would
like
the
public
to
know
the
finish
they
gave
a
hard-working
honest
man
after
he
had
spent
all
his
years
with
the
railroad
company
keeping
the
bridges
safe
for
huswrn

Now,
when
he
paises

and
you
go
to
find
out
when
they
are
going
to
put
him
away
to
his

decision
they
have
made
to

coastal
service
curtailment
which
they
had
threatened
last
week
to
put
into
effect
a
schedule
which
Prince
Rupert,
not
being
dependent
upon
the
company,
could
have
put
up
with
but
which
would
have
worked
real
hardship
on
such
coastal
points
as
Stewart,
Alice
Arm,
Port
Simpson
and
Bella
Coola
to
say
nothing
of
what
was
going
to
happen
to
the
Queen
Charlotte
Islands.
It
was
with
reluctance
that
we
felt
constrained
to
protest
vigorously
last
week
when
the
curtailed
service
proposal
was
made.
So
it
is
with
double
pleasure
that
we
now
express
our
appreciation
and
satisfaction
at
the
company's
decision
to
carry
on
the
steady-going
service
as
a
result
of
which
they
have
built
up
their
good
name
and
goodwill
these
many
years.
Since
representations
made
from
this
end
possibly
had
something
to
do
with
the
company's
very
commendable
decision
to
change
its
plan,
we
are
all
the
more
anxious
that
the
change
will
be
found
to
be
justified.
Increased
cost
of
operation,
we
realize,
present
difficulties
of
operation
and
the
consideration
of
the
company
in
maintaining
the
present
service
uninterrupted
is,
therefore,
the
more
appreciated.
money?"
It
looks
to
me
that
they
are
not
satisfied
with
making
money
out
of
you
whe
you
are
alive
but
they
also
want
to
make
a
profit
out
of
you
when
you
die.
If
that
U
our
true
democratic
Christian
system,
then
It
Is
a
poor
one-
taking
our
comrade
and
friend
away
In
the
early
hours
of
the
morning
and
never
even
lettlnj
his
friends
know
when
they
may
pay
their
