BE 17.00 4.00 I (Authorized as Second Class Mall, Post Office Department, Ottawa), Mission to India The mission of three "United Kingdom cabinet ministers Lord Pethick-Lawrence, the Secretary of State for 'India, Sir Stafford Cripps and Mr. Alexander is unmistakable evidence of the good wishes of all parts of Britain for their success. The purpose of the mission, is to assist the Viceroy in his consultations: with the Indian leaders on establishing the machinery for decid-inging India's future form of government. In thus assisting in the final phase of India's progress towards self-government, the mission will,- as Prime Minister Attlee points out, be given as free a hand as possible. Although there will undoubtedly be matters requiring reference back to the Cabinet in London, the reason for sending three members of the United Kingdom Cabinet was to secure the presence of responsible persons able to take a decision on the spot. The British government has done great work in India. "We have united India," said Mr. Attlee, "and given her that sense of nationality she has lacked over previous centuries. She has learned from us the principles of democracy and justice. When Indians attack our own rule, they base their attack, not on Indian principles, but on the basis of standards derived from Britain." India has had a splendid war record. Having twice in the past twenty-five years played her part in the defeat of tyranny "is it any wonder," asked Mr. Attlee, "that India claims, freedom to decide her destiny?" Her future constitution and her place in the world are for India to decide, and in this, said the Prime Minister, "we seek the utmost co-operation of all the Indian lead UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE COMMISSION ers." While expressing his hope that the Indian people would remain in the British Commonwealth "a free association of free peoples" and pointing out that no great nation can today stand apart from what is happening in the world at large, Mr. Attlee" also declared that if India elects for independence she has the right to do so, and it would be for Britain to make the transition as smooth and easy as possible. Whatever the terms of the eventual treaty with India, Mr. Attlee made it clear that Britain will seek no advantage that would entail disadvantage for India. The Highway Run-around Evidently the Canadian National Railways is the fly in the ointment as far as the question of settling final ownership of the -Prince Rupert Highway between Dominion and province is concerned, T,he federal' government has offered the road to the province which is willing to accept but not until the question is settled of the standing of several miles of the road which runs on railway right-of-way alongside the track. Therefore, it is more or less of a technicality which holds the whole matter up, a technicality which might prove a troublesome one if an obstinate attitude should be persisted in by each or any of the parties, concerned. But, if a conciliatory attitude is adopted, there should be little difficulty in getting the matter settled once and for all. Meanwhile we who would like to see the whole question straightened out and the road employed to the fullest extent possible in peacetime function feel we are still being given the run-around and are getting tired of it. The fact of the matter is that we are just about where we started as far as the settling of the ownership of the road is concerned. At least one satisfactory thing, is the assurance of the province that, meantime, it will assume the responsibility of maintenance as far as the equipment at its disposal will permit. If it had wanted to be really arbitary it need not even have gone this far. TO SEEK ACCORD ON WATER SYSTEM Booster Pump Necessary to Maintain City's Supply, Engineer Tells Council City! council will seek to enter into hn agreement with War Assets Corporation in regard to maintenance of the booster pump! on the city water main which the city engineer feels Is necessary for adequate fire protection of the Crown company's waterfront property. Council was Informed last night, by the Department of National Defence that the Cana 04 dian Army' will cease to operate the pump after March 31. "Idon't see why we should maintain a War Assets pump to protect War Assets property," the city engineer t&ld council. He added that, without the booster pump, other city property could be protected but that leakage .In the American-built water mains was so great that storage facilities on Acropolis Hill would not last more than a week. "They wouldn't even have drinking water then," he said. RENEWAL OF UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BOOKS To All Employers: h Unemployment Insurance Books, for the year ending March 31sr, 9iC, must be exchanged for new books. New Insurance Books for the fiscal year 1946-47 will be exchanged by the Local National Employment Office in your area fori expired Insurance Books Protect the benefit rights of your employees by sending in their expired books properly completed on March 31st.

Council also approved a re commendation by the utilities. committee that the city not pur chase the foimer American Hill since War Assets planned to Army water tanks On Acropolis detach the connecting valves and hydrants, presumably for separate sale. "Wc could put in' a new water system of our own at less cos ii than we could buy and fix up the Ameiican system," the city engineer told the aldermen. Council also received and filed a letter from the Department of National Health and Welfare informing the city that chiorlna-tion by the army-of the city's water supply would be discon-. tinued after March 31. The letter added that, If the city wished, it could take over operation of the plant in the Interval until a price could be placed on ths Installation. - Whifflets From The Waterfront Union steamer Venture arrlv ed in port at 11 o'clock thl.i morning southbound from Stewart with a few passengers and cargo, sailing for Vancouver early, this afternoon.

In answer to a question by AldJnnan Ham, Alderman Arnold admitted that last yar the ambulance realized "about 50 per cent" of the operating cost.

C(.s to the city for ambulance operation last year was $1,000, while the hospital board paid an additional $400, Alderman Arnold revealed.
