UO MATTER what we may think of its merits or lack of them, the latest justification for not building the Canadian National Steamships new coastal liner at the railway company's own dry dock at Prince Ru-pfcrt is the most novel and interesting and certainly the most amazing we have heard yet. Hon. Lionel Chevrier, the minister of transport, suggests that it would not be good fbr Prince Rupert to get this contract because, after it was concluded, tiere would be a serious condition ojt' unemployment in the city. That i3, according to Mr. Chevrier, what Mr. Vaughan, the president of the railway company, told the people of Prince.. Rupert when he met them in the course of a recent visit to the city. Mr. Vaughan, to be sure, did not make any rash promises in fact he was anything but encouraging sjnd in fairness, we do not recall him paving trumped up that excuse to placate the neople here against inactivity at the dry dock. ; It will be difficult indeed, we are . s,ure, 'for the people of Prince Rupert to accept this latest argument that it .would be inadvisable to have any work now because, after a while the work would be over, and it will be bad for us to be without jobs. In other words there will be unemployment some day so why not get it wght away? Supposedly, if that is the argument for Prince Rupert, it is to be t)ie policy for everywhere. It seems difficult to believe that the government has adopted a policy of having no vork done at all anywhere' because the work will end some day and everybody will be out of work. It is, infleed, a most amazing economic theory and it seems unbelievable ; PROFITABLE POACHING As an indication of the value TO SPONSOR IG SHOW ; ELGIN, Scotland Poachers of their the , "training, school j CARDIFF, Wales Q The rfiake 100 '$400) a week selling board in Oklahoma is to inaugur- South Wales and Monmouth shlmon and trout from the Earl ate a program to give newspaper j shire Industries Association will of Moray's stretch of the River i carrier boys high school credits sponsor a big industrial show Lossie, says the Elgin Angling! for the experience they have jn London In August and Sen-Association.

I-1" e THE DDDG j until near the end ol the year, most of the candidates have al-1 ready been selcted and cam- paigning has begun in . what i promises to be one of the most j bitterly-fought campaigns In the ; Dominion's history. It is clear the election "will bel a straight two-party contest be tween Labor, the party now in power, and the National Party opposition. There is no sign of a third party likely to have any influence on the result. Although side-issues may be introduced, the election will be fought on the simple basis of whether, after 11 years uninterruptedly in office, the Labor government's program of socialization has retained the confidence of the electors. Labor came into 'power in 1935 on one of the greatest.poli-tical landslides the country has ever known. Before that elec tion the party had only 24 seats out of the 80 in the Hause of Representatives. In the 1935 poll, the Labor Party won 52 seats, the National Party 20, and minor parties and independents,. ,8. This virtory was repeated in 1938 when Labor won 50 seats. National 25, and minor p'artie: and independents, . 5. A swing away from Labor In the country was largely responsible for a reduction of the majority at the election in 1943, when the Labor Party retained all except two or three city seats and the National Party won almost all the seats where country voters predominated. Present state of Uv parties is Labor 44, National 35 Independent 1. Prime Minister Peter Fraser has told his supporters quite frankly that the coming election is critical. "The next election will prove the Waterloo of either the Nationalists or. the Labor Party." he said at a meeting of coalminers. "There is a grave danger that Labor may lose votes and even face a reverse." This could be prevented, he said, by maintaining, production and keeping industries functioning. . Say Poverty ,.. y Is Abolished Labor party speeches in the final session of the present parliament have tended to enlarge on the claims made by the. prime minister that the present govern Campbell's Cosy Cabins Skeena Biidge Tourist Camp One Mile East of Town Box 13 TERRACE, B.C. ments of the social security program, the state housing program and rehabilitation measures. They predict a progressive easing of taxation and forecast big benefits should the government be permitted to put into effect its 10-year program fot opening up the country'and developing industry. The National Party program includes support for many measures which would be termed socialization in most countries. There are few out-and-out const rvatives in New Zealand, which has always favored social experiment. Its speakers have criticized the Labor Party's efforts to avoid inflation.

ECONOMICS OF PLENTY THE WAY to a man's heart may I not always be "through his stomach," but certainly that , is a main highroad to world brotherhood and subsequent peace. For feast and famine, prosperity and poverty, in the same One World are constantly warring elements that make for recurrent strife. And no amount of hard-won agreement on boundaries and bombs will produce a happier world while a half to two thirds of its people continue to be seriously undernourished. Thus the proposed establishment of a world food board to balance the world's scarcities and surpluses and outdate famine is one of the most important projects to be placed before the United Nations. Whereas-the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization has power only to make studies and recommendations, the world food board would provide the actual international machinery to control both prices and products for the common good. It would stabilize the world market, set up a food reserve (taking food off the market when the price fell below a certain figure), encourage increased production, and dispose of surplus agricultural commodities to needy countries at special prices. This, of course, requires the cooperation of other international bodies, and the plan calls for participation by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Economic and Social Council, the proposed international trade organization, and so on. Sponsors have a battle of their own on their hands to win over powerful nations and groups opposed to granting executive powers to any such body, to surmount tariff barriers, and defeat shortsighted, self-interest objections. Sir John Boyd Orr, Director General of FAO, has said this program "will need more planning and pooling between the nations than was required to Win the war." But unless such planning and pooling is forthcoming, it will become more apparent than ever that the war has by no means been won!

The National Party claims that its policy would reduce costs, increase production and prevent inflation without reducing wages. It holds that the government is upsetting the country's balance by attracting men from farms to industry. Nationalist members have given pledges to retain many of the government's measures such as social security and state housing, but maintain that there must be more opportunities for private enterprise and that stat tenants should be permitted to buy their houses which at present can be held only on a rental basis.
