Post Office Department, Ottawa), y . . ; Greece : The Greek Foreign Affairs Com-; mitte3, comprising all those statesmen who have held posts of Premier or Foreign Minister, have issued a I statement that constitutes an irrefu-". table justification from the Greek standpoint of the presence of Brit-- ish troops in Greece. : After 'expressing sincere regret . that disagreement should have ! arisen between Britain and Russia : over the presence of British military ; forces, the Greece statement pro-; ceeds: ; "British forces first came to our ; country in November, 1940, in ful-; filment of an obligation previously : undertaken by Britain. They came j at the request of the Greek govern-: ment not in prder to undermine our ; national independence, but to fight j for that independence, i "At the time of the liberation, :--British forces again landed in i Greece, not of their own accord, but ; at the request of the Greek govern-j ment, and as the result of an agree- ment concluded in Italy and signed j by all political parties without ex-; r)c,eption, including those of the ex-; rtreme left "No one can fail to appreciate ; (the compelling need that then ex-! .isted for the presence of British ! forces in Greece, if he remembers ' that the Greek State was at that . moment in a condition of utter dis- location and deprived of armed ; forces, t police and administrative ; machinery, as also of the indispen-I sible means for organizing the ser-! vices. For that reason, the landing '. of the British forces was truly a ; most fortunate event i "Since that time, the British ; forces remain in this country in' ac-; cordance with the desire and free consent of all the successive gov- ernments, which have realized that r the presence of these troops has ' been and is indispensable for the , restoration of the rights of the people and for the prevention of recurring internecine strife. "It is unnecessary to add that all Greeks are jealously attached to their national independence. They acquiesce in the presence of British troops solely because they clearly understand that no threat whatever could result from friendly collaboration with these forces." The statement concludes: "Greece stands in need of all the Great Pqwers. and makes no distinction between them. She appeals to them that, by avoiding misunderstanding and in a spirit of mutual goodwill, they may avert divergencies of opinion between them and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the task of rehabilitating humanity and more particularly of restoring the small, weak nations from the suffering of war." It is pointed out in London that this declaration, at once spontaneous and unanimous, of a distinguished body of Greek statesmen, puts in a nutshell the rejoinder to the Russian criticism.

I bevond control but it is to be hoped that no time will be lost by the department in securing and assembling the equipment so that, immediately it is possible, a speedy program of clearing and maintenance may be instituted. On the efficacy of the action of the authorities in providing themselves with the equip-f ment will depend on how soon, if at all, the road is open again for traffic this year. A relatively speedy job could be done or action could be so dilatorj" that the road would be permanently out of commission. I.O.D.E. Second War Memorial We are happy to put in a good word in advance for the I.O.D.E. as they embark, under the convener-ship of Mrs. D. C. Stuart, on their Second War Memorial drive. We all know the fine work the I.O.D.E. carried out in war causes between 191-1 and 191S and between 1939 and liMo and we also remember the First War Memorial activity on behalf of children of victims of that conflict Now that work along educational benefit lines is to be resumed. It is a pleasure to commend the good cause and ge-speak the generous support of the people of Prince Rupert which will, no doubt, be, as usual, forthcoming. It will be quite an undertaking to raise $2500 but, if the deserving support is accorded, it can be done. OMFORT IX STRIDE LADIES!

And, it might be pertinent to ask how long a nation can survive if decade after decade it fails to provide the healthful conditions and training necessary to develop a physically fit people. If it is money that blinds the nation to the situation, it should be noted that the cost of establishing modern health services everywhere in the country would be but a mere fraction of the amounts now being wasted in attempts to take care of illness which should have been prevented. Sickness much of it preventable and untimely deaths in Canada are estimated to be costing at least one billion dollars a year. Canadians should wake up to the fact that something should be done and done quickly. Machinery Lack Is Crux With the provincial public works department at least displaying some interest in the matter even though the roadway may still be an orphan as far as the final settlement of jur isdiction is concerned, the crux of the situation with respect to maintenance of the Prince Rupert Highway is quite obviouslv lack of equipment lack of equipment not only for the handling of snow during the winter but also for normal upkeep of the thoroughfare in all seasons. Local officials of the .public works department have been striving valiantly with the equipment hand to keep the road in operation but are now overwhelmed with snowj conditions and a big slide at Kwin-itsa. It is impossible to reach the slide now and it will probably keep "the road closed for some time even after the snow is gone in spring. The highway situation for the between the port of Prince Rupert and the United Kingdom and that the subsidy be extended to Include transpacific trade. The chamber has already been active on the matter but, as yet. has received no definite answer although the industrial relaUons council received encouragement from Hon. J. A. McKinnon. minister of trade and commerce, with the suggesUon that provision might be made in this year's Parliamentary estimates. The Chamber of Commerce, at Its meeting Monday night, urged the ejcecuUve counelr to pursue the matter further. Meantime. H. G. T. Perry, president of the Prince Rupert Dally News and former provincial minister of education, while In the city last week, sent a telegram to Prime Minister Mackenzie King bearing on the sub ject of .ship subsidy as follows: "I have been Impressed by the shipping faclllUes already pro vided by United States forces and now in disuse and the in creasing need for some measures to counteract the unemployment problem due to cessation of ship building and decreased business activity. I understand represen tations are beinj made to yon direct urging a Dominion sub sidy on steamship lines proposed to operate between the port of Prince Rupert and the United Kingdom. This appears a practical measure in accord with government policy to stimulate trade that would be of incalculable benefit to this port and all central B.C. I plead for consideration to it as one measure ro meet the pressing post-war .problems of this area."
