Hp-nn. with n.s calamitous implications as a continued strike on th railways of the United States would immediately present, could possibly be allowed to continue. jIt was an impressive appeal that President Truman made last night tokhe people of the United States in 'general and the railway workers inl.particular when he likened the critical seriousness of the railway stijjlxfe in his country to that of Pearl H.ji'por., 4One crisis had been by enemies from without. He squarely placed the blame for the other on tho shoulders of two men the leaders of, twp . railway brotherhoods Whitney 'and Johnson whom he ehhi'sged with placing their personal interests before that of not only the American nation but before the very Ii;es,qf .starving people abroad. It wis a courageous and forthright message bold and challenging a message that had to he said. l it vas only to be hoped that the railway workers would see the light arid go back to their jobs without permitting the situation to reach the pqint where the President this afternoon would have to make good his definite intention of having the Ai-my take over the railroads with girfm- instructions to carry out any st ;ps necessary to assure that railway fijo'aMidtfi was; resumed and maintained. ' The strike, as the President had already warned and as became oljvious to everyone soon after it started, would cause hardship, in-cojwenience and a condition of chaos in business, industry and the very wfiy of Jiving of the people worse than anything even war brought to thje nation'. The action taken by the President was undoubtedly justifiable. As for the Union, this strike, if xoniiuudr-,would bring about a filiation whereby their prestige and inluence aridower would undoubtedly receive a setback, nullifying accomplishments which it had taken thm many years to achieve. It had 'reached a point where the leaders of two unions were about to fost a dictatorship upon a nation. Iiwthe interests of the people, therefore, it was obvious that the President was faced with a challenge he had. to meet by taking drastic and injmediate steps. ,'It is only to be hoped that, ere thjese lines are read, reason may haie prevailed and the most serious industrial crisis in the history of a gijeat nation a crisis that affects thd life not only of the United States biit of Canada and Prince Rupert aid the whole world will have been considerably ameliorated in seriousness. i, There is a degree of unanimity on one point in connection with the new Canadian flag. The flag should contain 4 mael leaf. The main factions con-qernetlhn.; the issue teem to be divided ijito two, classes those who want to re-Safin 'the'yriion Jack in some form and tjnose who do not.

E. MORTIMER 324 2nd Ave. Phone 88 HOPE DEFERRED IF THE MEMBERS of the Prince I Rupert Rotary Club had hoped for some enlightenment on the immediate or future policies of the Canadian National Railways as they affect this city they must have felt a keen disappointment after hearing their guest speaker W. R. Devenish, vice-president of the C.N.R. in charge of western lines last Thurs day. Mr. Devenish, who is a man of fine character and great personal charm, was evidently unaware of the deep and serious concern in the minds of the people of central B.C. and Prince Rupert in particular, as to the attitude of the C.N.R. towards helping to solve some of the major economic problems of this part of the territory it serves. We thought he might have explained why the C.N.R. could not put in coal bunkers to permit the shipment of thousands of tons of coal over their railway and through this port. We rather expected he would at least give some inkling of what the C.N.R. had in mind for the operation or otherwise of the shipbuilding facilities and the diy dock. We thought the vice-president of the C.N.R. might give a hint of what he and his colleagues were doing about the big grain elevator here and whether the C.N.R. had been assisting others in their efforts to get a shipping service from this port to the United Kingdom or anywhere else for that matter. We imagined he might have heard that a shipping subsidy had been sought from the Dominion Government to assist in ensuring such a shipping service and that he might have learned how the application was progressing. The C.N.R. is a government-owned railway. It. is owned by the people of Canada. And the people of Canada, among whom are the people of this territory, are entitled to receive from the executive of their railway energetic and vigorous policies and not the timid, cautious and effete kind of leadership that has been so much in evidence ever since the Grand Trunk Pacific became amalgamated with, the bankrupt Canadian Northern and created into the Canadian National. , j .-, The executive of the C.N.R. has not"a solution for every difficulty, but a difficulty for every solution." Perhaps we are unduly worried. Perhaps the C.N.R. executive is trying to work up policies that will create industry, business and employment for the railway here and perhaps Mr. Devenish does not know or if he does know he can not tell us. But the people of this city and of all central B.C. had better "not. put their trust in princes" or in this case in the C.N.R., but rather had they better trust in themselves, and .through their chambers of commerce, boards of trade, city councils and all community organizations, give leadership in endeavouring to create and stimulate industrial development and the expansion of the fishing, lumbering and agricultural resources. When we reflect upon the high endeavours and planned measures for the trade of this port made by the builders of the old Grand Trunk Pacific, and the embalming of these policies by those who followed we think of Whittier's lines: "Of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these: 'It might have been.'
