WEDNESDAY, if EC. 10, 1941 As President Roosevelt said last night the war news, so far, has "all been bad." Like the United States did on Sunday, we today received -bad news in regard to the war in the Pacific. H.M.S. Prince of Wales and H.M.S. Repulse, two first line battleships sent to guard Singapore against Japan, have been sunk. It looks like the first round in the Battle of the Pacific t t goes to our treacherous foes. But that will steel us to more determination to see the thing through to victory "final and complete." Loss of Prince of Wales and Repulse notwitstand-ing, our navy is stronger today than it was over two years ago when our war began. Our enemy have a long way to go before our mastery of the seas is overcome. e By the very nature of Japan's attack, we might have anticipated sudden and heavy losses. And it must be remembered that our "crafty and powerful enemies" fight like this and and one of their principal hopes is to break down our morale even before we start to fight back. In receiving bad news we should keep that in mind. Civilian protection worker who continued the blackout patrol of Prince Rupert last night had good reason to question the real value of their work in going up to people's houses and asking them to douse even the slightest gleam that might have appeared through their hastily prepared window coverings while at the same time automobiles in considerable number travelled the streets throwing streams of lights that .could be seen for blocks if not miles. Willing 0 householders, ' according- r TP. to TV general report, -rv,, favored tn the distribution of food, thereby compelling customers to buy , at. the NS places of business. And NS lawyers, boycotted by the general public, have been assured that the Nazi authorities will use them wherever possible. A German counsel named Koch has written a letter to nasjonal samllng in which these matters are mentioned. He advised the party to set up a special organization tO WOrk OUt WaVS and mnm Lpjj procuring reparaUons for NS jnemDers. Kocn suggested that the nasjonal samllng might use its administrative power for such purposes, and several such n stances already are reported. For example, the NS-dominated municipal council of Heddal decided that school books be bought from "NS friends" at Skien rather than from the customary dealer In Notodden.

GOODWILL BETWEEN U.S. AND CANADA TOOK NEW TREND IN THE PAST YEAR Defence Production Committee Formed. OTTAWA, Dec 10: (CP) Canada and the United States tended tn bernmp industrial nnd pmnnmii" lvivr. ners during 1941 under the impact of war and its urgent j 11 11 1 i 1 A j mi aemanas ior unnmiieu quantities oi macmnes. i lie partnership trend which reversed a half-century of more or less restricted Economic rivalry found its most concrete pnresslnn In the creation of .1 i ..Tnint ripfpnpo PrnHnntlnn Pnm- ; - . - . . . I tha.a of the two countries in labor, raw 1 materials and industrial capacity. Thus the committee will i-eep an eye out to see that if one country requires supplies of a cer- j tain tVDe and ir tnev can De od- tained more economically from the other the country needing the supplies will not plunge into the creation of additional Dlaut facil ities in order to produce them for itself. Hyde Park Declaration The two governments agreed to set up the committee following a recommendation of the Joint Economic Committee which was set up sometime earlier to study means of economic co-ordination generally and bring about coordinated action where agencies of the two governments were already operating along the same lines. The policy of pooling economic and Industrial resources was formally proclaimed at Easter in the Hyde Park declaration by Prime Minister Ma:kenzie King and President Roosevelt and followed the 1940 development of the creation of a Joint Defence Board to bring about the co-ordination of plans for military, naval and air defence of the North American continent. The Hyde Park declaration had Important financial consequences for Canada as under it the United States agreed to buy from $200,-000,000 to $300,000,000 worth of war .naterials from Canada, thus aid-ng this country to maintain Its xchange position with the United States. From the outset of the war Canada's financial position required close watching because of unusually heavy wartime purchases from the United States and a consequent drain on Canadian holdings of United States funds Mr. King's Visit Mr. King made two visits to the president during the vear. the Easter trip which resulted In the. declaration and a nersonal visit in November when the" two leaders exchanged views .on a wide range of questions.

Lahiff. while walking along Second Avenue; opposite the Angus Apartments in the blackout Monday night, was 6et upon by a couple of unidentified footpads who approhed from the rear and started to beat him. Indeed they did deal him several blows about the head. and face but made off when the major broke a window in front of which the Incident oc:urred and the occupant of the house came out. The ob ject or the attack, Malor Lahiff believes, was robbery.

The great weakness of the blackout was the matter of the cars. If the Defence of Canada Regulations permit the use of car lights such as those that were seen here last night, and the authorities tell us that they do, then it is high time such silly regulations were altered. There seems littlepoint in haying the houses so strictly dark if the cars are to be permitted to run that way. And if the emergency is so real as we are told it is, there should be something done about the car lights and that right soon. We. offer this suggestion in the belief that the authorities, who have the power to act in the matter, are as anxious as we are that it shall be made as difficult as possible for the marauding murderers finding us from the sky. The A.R.P. WorkeTsT . Appreciating the seriousness of the situation and the imminence of danger, civilian protection workers are domfe a good job in various capacities these black-out nights. Scores of men and women are already workin" by night after busy days on their jobs and the commif-nity spirit m the face of the common danger is gratifying. More volunteers, however, could materially lighten the job for those already enlisted. This is one of the jobs of war. There is no remuneration in it except the satisfaction there may be that even if in a small way something is being done to help in the defence of our very homes which are now endangered DEMAND OF QUISLINGS Decree Guaranteeing "Satisfaction" Aim of Nasjonal Samling NEW YORK, Dec. 10; Nasjonal samUng, the party. p$-MaJp,yid,i kun Quisling In. Norway, (now; wants to issue a decree guaranteeing "satisfaction," in various forms to persons who have "suffered" for having served Germany. In NS circles In the ministry of Justice it has been suggested that (municipalities and private persons be compelled to pay reparations when, for Instance, the income of an NS shopkeeper or physician has been reduced. Up to now the Germans have refused to issue such a decree but have Sanctioned the suggestion that some measures be taken.
