Russian or American T HERE can be no argument about the Russian statement that the world is splitting into two orbits Russian and American or might it more accurately be said into conflict between two idealogies? Of course, Russia, in her determined desire to extend her sphere of influence with no other apparent activating motive than her own aggrandizement and desire to dictate without as well as within, is doing nothing to compose the conflict. The new, Russian-organized communist international organization can be regarded as wothing less than a resumption of the Comintern, an avenue for the extension of Russian influence by infiltration abroad. As a matter of fact, the Russians franHly admit the aim to fight the Marshall plan and what it is pleased to call American "imperialism" whatever that may imply. As far as the ordinary citizen of the- world is concerned, it boils itselfv'.uown to the alternatives -J of two ways of living the Russian or the. Ameri-can, .

FIRE PREVENTION HERE TAKING it over the years, Prince Rupert may congratulate itself on its comparatively small fire loss. Maybe it has been a case more of good luck than good management. This is Fire Prevention Week during which we might all reflect on a matter of national and local importance. There is certainly much that might be done in thS way of firepmyention and protection measures something;' citizen could well do in his own jnterest.r jVt PRINCE RUPERT HOME&ORT RUPERTttiw&ieroud of the PRINCE fine new Canadian1 National coastalj-Bteamship Prince George wlaonilyeBterday at Victoria with her cruiser stern bearing the name of this as her port of registry. : It had beenred,,that Vancouver was to , have been the port ; ofwigistry but we are happy to 1 learn that theyjigipafyhome port of the fleet has been retamedLfdrihiS'n'ewest and finest coastal vessel of them all. -i, We would have JiMed!fIfo3fJ the1 company could have seen its wav cleartbundtthe vessel here. But that was not to berjfe'cjrinsiderable consolation, however, in thisbgTdeclared her official home, which is as it sKquld be. The action of the company in seeing that tfils was done will be appreciated here, Haopily it was not necessary to go beyond Canada in the designing .and construction of the SS. Prince George. This Canadian National vessel is the largest passenger craft yet built on the coast, as well as being the most modern in general equipment, fittings and service. The reason Canada did not have to look beyond her own borders was because of the record made during ,the second great war in ,the shipyards of the Dominion. The number of ships built and the satisfaction they gave convinced the Canadian National authorities, as announced by the president and chairman, of the wisdom of th policy pursued. WHAT NEWSPAPERS DO BESIDES giving service and information, what else does a newspaper do? Editor W, L. Baker of Ketchikan, well known in Prince Rupert, proceeds to answer the question as follows: "The newspaper-sells goods. It sold at least one house yesterday for a cost of about $2.00, the day before it sold a car for the cost of under $1.00. It speeds up turnover of merchandise and cuts costs of selling. "It must entertain with its comics .and its feature stories; it must report the news without fear or favor or the people cannot know what they must 1rMr.t.. ,1 L 1L!U1.

Telling of the truth itself becomes risky business at times; so risky that many prefer not to seek it out and tell it. "The alternative, however, is darkness and despair of the kind the Russians have today and the Nazis had yesterday. Only the truth can make men free. Those who would enslaye others first take over the instruments of information. "It's an interesting game this publishing, and especially so where a small newspaper can at times wield. influence all out of proportion to its size and ' therfiejd it serves. But it does not make one rich or Z?z .', even comfortable, for wages must be high and cir- I 1 SvcliJations. are delimited by geography ICHIEF JUSTICE ISEES CHALLENGE I Fred Vinson Warns Against Pitfalls Personal Responsibilities CLEVELANP, Ohio The Chief Justice of the United States, Frederick M. Vinson ,has given a double warning to the Araor.an public not to fall into reactionary pitfalls. An age of great challenge, he says, Is at hand. It is an age of great opportunity as well as danger and difficulty. "Rarely in human history," he declared, "have men been ac corded so high a prlviege and so appalling a responsimnty. ' What is needed first of all, he said, is to reaffirm faith in fundamental values on which has been based all that is wortn while In society. "Those persons," said the Chief Justice, "who live, in the vain delusion that, by shrinking from responsibility and struggle, and thereby find peace and se-curity who try to escape challenge or ignore it can only find disaster. The danger of losing faith in 'ourselves," he said, "if perhaps the greatest hazard of today." He saw among the challenges facing Americans the weakening of the family and the loss of spiritual values growing out of the strong family bond and a growing lack of faith in and respect for law and legal processes. "Here's something I want tc quote you," said the Old Timet this morning. It says: ' Vh:n socialists keep on -harping about controls as the essence of their policy, they lend plausibility to the charges that they are really' frustrated bureaucrats with an itch to manage other pfopiiVbunrieW for tncm.' ; "Who said that? Well, it was a leading figure in the C.C.F. "He was scolding his own people, but the point is interesting. Isn't there just a little more than plausibility in those charges? "What do you hear in the socialist speeches, or for that matter in the Cantaunist speeches when they are talking to people vmo aren t Communists?. Isn't it always .that they arc going to tate over what others have created and then run those businesses as they say 'for use, not for profit?' "What do you think you would get if this country should decide to throw out free enterprise and substitute government ownership and control of everything? You'd certainly get controls by a lot of bureaucrats, and then more controls, and still more. It's an inevitable process. Look at any socialist country in the world and you can see it working. "Do you think you would find men pushing out, creating new businesses, planning great enterprises? Do you think the lot of the ordinary man or woman would be improved? Well, for me, and I've lived quite a time, I don't."

NO POLITICS QUIET LIFE FOR SCHUSCNIGG Six-year-old Cissy Schuschnigg plays with her six-months -old niece Sylvia Bee. while her mother, left, Mrs. Kurt von Schuschnigg, and her daughter (of a former marriage), Mrs. Nora Bee, look on. Dr. Kurt von Schuschnigg, former chancellor of Austria, arrived in Brooklyn, N.Y., recenUy with his family and they are living temporarily with Mrs. Bee. The former chancellor told newsmen .that he would probably settle in Brooklyn, expressing a desire to "live a quiet life." The chancellor also disavowed any desire to take part In political discussions. IGNORING GOLD STRIKE UNTIL ROAD FINISHED Whatever "golden secret" lies locked In the buried quarts veins at the city's Park Avenuo quarry will rtmain unknown until the road extension from Park Avenue to the .Westview 4 fishermen's.floats is-completed, I the Daily News has been .-told 1 by L. M. (Boots) Shannon, High I way Construction Co. road fore man. Mr. Shannon, whose first job is to complete the road building contract, is convinced that ,there Is' a good' possibility of there being interesting prospects of commercial quantities of gold, but the road comes first; The new power shovel, whose' arrival and preliminary conditioning held up construction for several weeks really got tuned up over the week-end but It is working at a different part of the quarry from where the Initial quartz nugget was discovered on September 17. It also had brought to light a quartz vein with mineral con tent, although the gold content has not been assayed.Mr. Shannon Isn't inclined to say much about it because he doesn't want his work hindered by stampedes as it was two weeks ago. "As far as I am concerned, the less said about it the bot-ter,' 'he declared this morning. "I'm afraid that even the .most conservative statement will bring out a bunch of pfcople that will hamper our road construction." " Mr. Shannon would offer ho forecast as to when the road construction Job would be completed. "I'll probably be able to tell you that within a few days," he said.
