Mr. Lang con tinued, "that there is no place in this war for peace-time profits or peace-time prices for any kina oi services. On the other hand there is much favor of the common sense view that corporations should not he weakened toy unnecessary inroads on their capital structure by government edict. Undernourished corporations, like undernourished men, cannot work, or help to win the war or play an effective part after the war in solving the all-important problem of providing a maximum of emDloyment." "Division nf work among the People of Canada is one of our most Important and difficult current Problems," Mr. Lang said. Since the beulnninff of the war thousands had been trained to fill new Jobs and "the manner in which scores of thousands of Canadians have learned how1 to peiform new tasks and the manner In which they nave carried them on is a great tribute to their intelligence, industry and loyalty." Industrial Unrest "The fact that Industrial unrest in the form of disagreements, slowdowns, threats of stilkes, and strikes has been increasing, must be faced," said Mr. Lang. "This may have been Inevitable in some degree, as scarcity of available em ployees increased, but it is also due In large measure to the policy and practice of some organizations and t ! . . 1 1 J individuals, wno apparently mu i cne view mat eunjiuycio anu hiui- vlduals, who apparently now tne view that employers and employees should be divided Into two hostile camps and should keep up active and passive conflict. They also relieve, evidently, in a great maze of laws, orders-in-councils, regular Hons and rulings, and in constant argument and altercation in regard to the application of these contu sion measures. "Valuable production men are forced to devote much of their time to these difficulties," Mr. Lang proceeded. "The philosophy which causes this Immense waste of en-i'.gy and loss of production cannot be in the national interest. Surely it would be better to recognize and ;o act on the principle that all those cneaEed in manufacturing. pmninvppj!. managers, sharehold ers, the Government and the public arp riartles to production and are vitniiw mnrpmed in It and that problems can be solved and snouio bp solved In tneir common iniweai- by recognition of the rights and rpsnonslbllltles of all parties and throueh friendly understanding and p.o-oDeratlon.

Local Chamber of' Commerce Hears Of Move to Cut off Prince George Further West the Better, Says Kenny Another aspect of interior high way representations came neiore the Prince Rupert' Chamber ot Commerce at irregular monthly meeting on' Monday" night with the presentation of a memorandum ;rom the Vanderhoof and District Board of Trade suggesting the advantage of a highway cut-off southward from Vanderhoof to Quesnel. This was suggested in connection with the advocacy of Vanderhoof - Omineca highway route to open up the Peace River as against bullcyns a, new road more or less direct norm irom Prince Rupert, surveys for which are being undertaken by the provincial government. The main ad- I vantages set forth on behalf of the Vanderhoof - Quesnel cut-off are that it would shorten the .route to Vanderhoof and would eliminate bridges at Prince Oeoree. The local Chamber was not so much Interested In any advantages of Vanderhoof and Prince Oeorg routes except as they . concerned Prince Rupert. The fact that Van derhoof was 100 miles west of Prince George was considered an advantage to Prince George. A letter from E. T. Kenney, M. L. A. for Skeena, could see no reason why Prince George should be considered as the only possible connection point for a road through Biltlsh Columbia to Alaska. His view was that the further west the road could be brought the better as It would open up more new country and serve more people. Mr. Kenney was sympathetic to Vanderhoof representations. Iheo Collart stressed the import ance of Prince Rupert keeping persistently busy on the Peace River outlet question. H. A. Breen observed that he had fortress attack. An Italian communique broadcast from Rome ' said the Italian garrison had ignored a demand to surrender which was : perhaps a prelude to an invasion of the Island which lies .midway between Tunisia and Sicily. The Rome radio said that leaflets dropped by planes demanded sur render by 9 a.m. Pacific daylight time yesterday. A British communique from Malta announced that light naval forces Sunday night conducted coastal reconnaissance of the Ital ian Island of Lampedusa, 80 miles south of Pantelleria without cas ualties or damage, losing only two members of the landing party. This, obviously, was the same ac tion described by the Axis yester day as the repulse of a determined effort by five companies of commandos to take the Island. .Meanwhile Allied air forces shutJ tied across'the" narrow seas to keep up pounding of targets in Sardinia and reconnaissance photographs showed that Saturday's raid on La Spezia naval base in northwestern Italy had greatly' damaged a light cruiser, hitting another naval vessel and heavily damaging naval base installations. NOT MUCH FIGHTING Lull Seems to be Continuing in Russo-German Warfare MOSCOW, June 9 Action in the Russo-German war continues to be principally in the air although some gains In ground fighting at various points are claimed by the Russians. l The Germans again raided the Industrial city of Gorky, east of Moscow, but there was no confirmation of the German claim that the big Molotov tank factory there had been, bombed.
