A

between

the
United

and
Russia,
this
time
over
the
drafting
of
the
Japanese
peace
treaty,
threatens

to'

destroy
what
little

remains
between
the

Another
prospect
is
that
it
may
delay
indefinitely
work
on,
a
peace
settlement
for
Japan.
This

there

hope
here
that

would

and

City
Engineer
Charles
B.
Howe,
In
addressing
the
Prince
Rupert
Gyro
Club
at
luncheon
yesterday,
proposed
that
citizens
as
a
who!!
should
exercise
their
own
constructive
responsibility
In
each
doing
something
towards
making
of
this
a
community
wnich
would
be
a
delight
to
the
psople
who
came
from
outside
aftd
a
source
of
pride
and
satisfaction
to
those
who
dwelt
here.
Mr.
Howe
saw
an
attitude
of
insularity
and
apathy
on
the
part
of
citizens
generally.,
Thera
was
also
an
inferiority
complex,
due
to
the
failure
to
think
be-
yond
the
community.
The
speak
er
advocated
the
adoption
ot
a
dflnlte
program
of
civic
Improve
ment
In
which
all
citizens
would
participate
actively
Instead
of
standing
outside
and
criticizing
nubile
and
seml-publlc
bodies
who
tried
to
do
something.
Mentioning
the
desirability
or
developing
on
Acropolis
Hill
a
park
site
which
eould
be
a
"re
markable
monument"
to
the
statesman
after
whom
it
had
been
renamed
Roosevelt
Park,
Mr.
Howe
suggested
that
this
should
be
carried
out
as
a
community
undertaking
for
which
special
funds
should
be
raised.
He
saw
the
possibility
of,
a
golf
course
and
a
smart
piece
of
landscape-gardening.
First,
how
ever,
a
plan
should
be
drawn
up
an
Idea

the
people.
