DAILY EDITION EDITORIAL The Second Front 'Clement Atlee, Secretary for the Dominions, at present a visitor to Canada, says that Allied leaders do not need to be "prodded" about the opening of a second front..

General WaveU's View . . . General Sir Archibald Wavell, regarded generally as Britain's No. 1 military genius and probably just as great a hero as General Douglas MacArthur although not glamorized quite so much, declares that Japan is not strong enough to launch another offensive. The opinion is of more pressing interest to us here in Prince Rupert who are pretty vitally concerned in the Japanese war nnn'n , Man Who lias Had Some Experiences But There ' Are Funny Excuses 1 Written for The Canadian Press By FRANK RASKY I TORONTO.

In talking about a second front we may anticipate that it will be opened just as" soon as the practicability of its success is reasonably certain.

We must admit that Japan has done a lot of winning and has taken a lot of ground. She has given us plenty of unpleasant surprises. At the same time it is reasonable to suppose that she may have gone a considerable way in exhausting her organizzed war resources. Possibly General Wavell may bet ribbut even he does not suggest that there may not Ma JJ&M. ea fight left in Nippon yet. Once again we might suggest that it is still a little early to think about letting down our guard. ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.C.A. AND Y.W.C.A.

And was It grand seeing all our boys again. And to think that we should be there and able to see them. Scads of the boys we knew, Including Slg. Jimmy Aiken, believe it or not.
