The Atlantic Charter proclaims that we are fighting for the establishment and preservation of the four fi-eedoms freedom from want, freedom from fpnr fi-ppdnm nf wnrshin and freedom of .speech. Of these four, freedom of speech is by far the most im- portant; not because it is lnnerentiy more important but befcause it is impossible to conceive of a society in whiph there is freedom of worship or freedom from want without the right of freedom of speech; and it is obvious that there cannot be freedom from fear if one isi afraid to speak his mind. Nor it is possible to have freedom of speech without freedom of the press and I shall dare to say this also, that only by preserving the freedom of the press can we hope to obtain .the other free freedoms for which we fight. Navy's Staggering Task ... Wfth the opening of the Battle of Europe, the task of the Roval Navy is staggering. It is a pleasant fact that today, despite casualties, it has more ships than it had when the war began, thanks to the tremendous speed-up of Britain's shipyards, which built, 900 wawhips during the first three-and-a-nall years of the war; and these shipyards are working at an increaSea tempo this year. The five battleships lost by the Royal Navy dur ing trje war have been replaced by mighty 35,000-ton battleships. Though over 80 destroyers .haveJbeen lost in action more than double this number have been built to replace, them. When the war began lintam had six aircraft carriers. Alter three years of war, only H.M.S. Furious survived ; but when the American troops landed in North' Africa, there were several Royal Navy carriers present. Thie Royal Navy's motto is "Seek out, engage and destrqy." By June, 1942, 6,178,681 tons of the 11,000.-000 tops of Axis merchant shipping had been destroyed, captured or put out of action by the Royal Navy and the R.A.F. In addition, the Royal Navy had sunk three! Axis (German and Italian) battleships, 15 cruisejrs, 62 destroyers- and in conjunction with the Royal; Canadian and United States Navies, sunk or damaged 530 submarines. British submarines, alone, have sunk more than 300 enemy supply ships, including m'any troop ships, and have damaged many more. Tlie British Merchant Navy has delivered 40,000,-tons jf imports annually during the war, and suffered casualties of 16,000 men in the first three years of wa. Losses of merchant ships in Allied convoy protection have "been one half of one per cent. m m m m m m m wm I WOMEN WANTED Women are required by the local shipyard to T fill vacancies in the WELDING DEPARTMENT, ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT, MOLDING LOFT, PLATE StfOP, SHEETMETAL SHOP, TOOL ROOMS, DRAWING OFFICE anjl other departments throughout the yard.

By DOROTHY GARBUTT The Hostess The missing Hostess House sign turned up resting on the front steps of the Leeds Apartments. Peggy Pullen told me she saw It there. I had run In next door to see if they had noticed anyone taking it. So now the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps is getting all its nuts, bolts, screws and hammers, chisels and screw drivers out and is putUng it on for me for keeps. No reflection on you, Mr. Scadden, neither you nor I ever dreamed it would be taken. Don't forget about the Highway Camp dance tonight, Thursday. Chaperones and Junior hostesses will meet at the "Y" as usual. Tomorrow night' is the Ship's Company dance, at the Navy Drill Hall. i I had a letter from Phyllis Hambun It-Is -so long and so newsy that I mean to run It In serial form, a piece each day.' She went south to Join the C.W. ACi. about three weeks ago you will remember. Her remarks are a treat: "It's Just about time I wrote you, yes? Well, I'm having the grandest time ever! I had a swell trip to Vancouver. There were 10 R.C.A.F. on leave, so who wouldn't have a good time?. They were all a lot of fun. Two of them. Norm and Bruce, ask to be remembered to 3ob Gibson. They said that he would remember the screwballs from by those names. The meals were so good and the company was so congenial it was sure enjoyable. Stayed witn .ny cousin In Vancouver. (I'm going to stop using the egotistl- jal 'I' Dale Carnegie wouldn't like it! I And I went up for my nedical oa Monday. More fun! Everyone was so good to us.. . ." Here we stop for today. Dear leaders, will Phyllis pass her medical? will she pass her medi cal but not her mental? that is the burning question, the incen diary interrogative. For the answer see tomorrow's paper.
