INTOLERABLE SITUATION IT :IS BAD ENOUGH to have many I industries and services of the country tied up or curtailed by a labor-maiiagement dispute which has resolved itself down to inconsequential, differences but, when food resources are threatened with complete waste and loss, as js the situation in British Columbia today, the matter is getting to an intolerable point. ;Certainly pubf . pinion is now being flouted and sympathy is being ah'enated'from the cause of the loggers' union which failed to accept wliat appeared to be the very reasonable proposals of Chief Justice Sloan. On the other hand, if the report is in 'fact that an operating company refused to reopen its plant yesterday when union men offered to work in order to turn out fruit containers in the emergency, there would appear to be an unjustifiable attitude there. There is also disappointment at the failure of the authorities to find some way of ending the tie-up which, every day longer it lasts, is causing serious loss and inconvenience to the business and progress of the. province. The situation is as intolerable as it is inexcusable. MACKENZIE KING A MAN largely impelled by a sense of posterity reached the zenith of history-making when he claimed the distinction of being Prime Minister longer than any other Canadian. William Lyon Mackenzie King has survived many crisis in the rough and tumble of politics and has kept his eyes on his objective. At the same time he has contributed his share to the public that will rate him in future histories with the chief characters in the Canadian story. At the week-end Mr. King commemorated Victory Day in London at the same time he observed his record as Canadian Prime Minister. He has served a day longer than the previous Canadian record-holder, Sir John A. Macddnald. Mr. King suffered only one defeat in his long years in public life. i - r r' -K-jik r; THIS AND THAT MIPS RMi&w, mmMm "What the world needs is more good neighbours."
