Post Office Department, Ottawa). The Speech From the Throne ; The Speech from the Throne at the opening of the session of Parliament at Ottawa tells us nothing in; the way of projected legislation which we might not logically have expected. Naturally world reconstruction and enduring peace will be basic subjects of consideration. Everything everywhere in the world depends upon what progress is made along these lines and every nation, iaipge or small, has its responsibility. As to the specific legislation which the government, through the formal document of the "Speech f'rpm the Throne," recommends to Parliament for enactment, the approval of the loan to the United Kingdom will, we suppose, be almost automatically given along the most generous of lines. : Redistribution of representation in-the House of Commons is due and must be arranged although there may be some bickering about it. Provision for armed forces may produce some wide differences of opinion but it is to be assumed that the differences will be based on to what extent such armed forces are deiemed necessary and over the type they should be. I Completion of consideration of a "Veterans' Charter" pose the problem of seeing that the obligations to those who fought for us and saved us; are fully lived up to without evasion or equivocation. Our legis-lators will, we trust, tolerate nothing less. : Dealing with the bill to clarify the definition of Canadian citizenship should be a fairly simple matter. About all the most of people want is; to be able to legally call them-, selves' "Canadians" with reasonable" privileges as such under the precepts" of liberty and democracy, : The intention of giving permanent legislative effect to a number of ' orders-in-council might cover a lot New Home Plans of contentious ground. There are a lot of unpopular orders-in-council. Character building begins An youth and such a start has been made by carrier boys who in one Canadian city alone bought more than $40,000 worth of war bonds purchased real estate set up savings accounts and in many instances, bought all their own clothing. Coal Bunker Need Shown Blairmore, Alberta, collieries have been able to undertake the filling of an order to export thirty thousand tons of slack coal, dump residue, to China and the first cargo is now on its way from Seattle to Hong Kong. 'Recently, the Bulkley Valley Collieries at Telkwa had the opportunity to export a similarly large amount of coal over a period of time and was ready to make an experimental shipment but the whole deal fell through because there were no coal handling facilities at Prince Rupert. The Telkwa colliery lost the business and the port of Prince Rupert lost the traffic. There can be a lot more coal exported from Canada in the next few years and one of the important factors will be the terminal facilities for handling it. Such facilities are one" of the few things that Prince Rupert now lacks as an up-to-date and well equipped world port. Were they here they could be used not only for the-exporting of coal from this immediate district but also from at least as far away as Alberta which we see today shipping its export coal tnrough Seattle. It is to be noted that the possibilities of coal export from the district which would be opened up by the continuation of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway through Prince George to the Peace River loom rather large as' in justification for the undertaking of such new railway construction. Neither should be forgotten those vast fields of superlative coal lying further west in the Groundhog country and one of the greatest natural resources of the hinterland back of Prince Rupert which one fine day must be opened up'rtyith. this as the coast outlet port. i , Newspapers containing the text of the'UJS. State Department's blue book on y Argentina.-commanded premium prices in that country where a controlled press enslaves public opinion. Picturesqueness Is outstanding in this low, rambling ranch style structure. Of course, it requires at lot of room. The three structures efficiently separate three living units: kitchen, storage and garage living and dining room, porch and outdoor living room sleeping quarters. Six rooms In all with two baths, seven closets and a utility closet. The kitchen has one porch entrance and one side service entry leading to the basement stairs. All have bedroom picture - windows; the garage has overhead doors; and a recreation room Is provided under the living room.

AKNOLD Editor, Dally News, May 1 have the u or a small portion of your paper to congratulate the people of this city in having a humanitarian councilman? The proposal by Mrs. Arnold concerning a hostel for native women is one of the grandest ideas I have heard of. Let's hope It does not end in Just a suggestion but becomes an actual fact. There are a lot of good Indian slrls but what chaned do they have when they come to Prince Rupert for dental work or shopping? There Is always a gang of vultures waiting for them at the depot and wharf every time a train or a boat arrives. I am not a native of Canada myself and do not know any of the Indians in tnto section of the country, but this world needs more love shown to Its downtrodden neooles. More power to such ofT'riah as Mrs. Arnold. A PRINCE RUPERT BOOSTER.

All the brush, Jack- 1 pine and cedar which seems to envelop the town everywhere one goes would be cleared away , and all vacant property In the j residential areas re-subdivided to allow at least a 50-foot frontage on building lots. There is plenty of room lor it. All the streets would be put In perfect condition with concrete sidewalks on both sides. On Second and Third Avenues the old buildings and ancient shops would come down and be replaced by smart, modern on?s decorated with pleasing colors and Illuminated by fluorescent lighting. This would stimulate a feeling of well-being in the downtown shopping district and entirely dispel the gloom that abundant rainfall brings upon a person. The open sewer that wends its way and emits its ugly smell from the corner of Third Avenue and McBrlde Street to Cow Bay merits dishonorable mention here. It would, of course, be promptly culverted and taken right out to deep water. To attract tourists, the Prince Rupert Highway would be hard surfaced and the branch road from Galloway Rapids to Port Edward be extended Uirough Inverness Passage, where most of the large salmon canneries of the district are located, and on through to" Join the main highway at Tyee. The salmon canning operations of the lower Skeena would be a major at- traction to the tourists. Al"o the road would enable the mer-. chnnts of Prince Rupert to can- i OPPPOOPPOPOOiW OtHKKKKHJOD TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO March 15, 1921 A fish car shortage at Prince Rupert became a political issue when William Duff, federal member for Lunenberi. Nova Scotia, described as "scandalous" In the House the way in which -the" government was treating the halibut industry In Prince Rupert. Construction of a road between the wharf at Alice Ann and the town was begun. Described as AUre Arm's most bad ly needed Improvement. Its cost was estimated at $34,000. The steamer Princess Beatrice, dama-fpfl on Jedldiah.lsland was expected to be returned to service on the Prince Rupert run after receiving repairs costing $30,000. s (The Sixth of a series of sutfestlons by readers of the Dally News for the betterment of this city) If I were given supreme authority to Improve and develop Prince Rupert, the first thing I would do would be to make the physical appearance of the city ture more of the business that these cannery communities provide. A really up-to-date hotel and a large auditorium would be very much in order. Finally and very Important would be a little more Interest In things eternal on the part of the citizenry. If all the aforementioned were done people and new Industries would flock to the city and even Mount Oldfield would have to be dynamited away to make room for the expansion that would follow. ROBERT II. VICK, BEATINGS IN INTERNMENT Salvation Army Adjutant Says No Japanese to lte Trusted MONTREAL W Margaret Burns, Montreal Salvation Arm) Adjutant who spent three years' In a Japanese Internment camp at Singapore, said In an interview here following her arrival from overseas, "Never trust a Jap not a single one of them Is decent" Miss Burns, who suffered a spinal injury eight months after her internment, spent the rest of the three years on an Iron cot, her body encased in a plaster cast the same one because the Japanese refused to give British doctors any more plaster. She told of the indignities, the tortures, the daily beatings and stoppings suffered by her friends. She also told how life was made bearable by the gallantry, kind ness and cheerfulness of her fellow Internees. She said babies were born, but that nearly all of them dead within 4 few days or weeks. their bodies' buried with those of Internees, who died with ap palling regularity. Meals consisted of three sery Ings daily, of groupd rice and "sludge"a kind of soup. . Rice was served in the bottom of tin cups which the Japanese sold 1 their prisoners who used the cups I for ttitlng, drinking, cleaning their teeth and a multitude of other purposes. Miss Burns, who said the Japanese women and children were not too bad, added that the men. now they have been conquered, are planning ways and means of hitting back. "If the Allies are not careful, the Japs will turn on them. They are not to be trusted," she said. Miss Burns, who went to Singapore in 1935 to open a home for unfortunate girls, was Interned by the Japanese in February, 1942. WHAT DOES RUPERT NEED? WILL YOU GIVE YOUR VIEWS? There is much discussion these days of problems and difficulties which face Prince Rupert in its postwar development and prosperity and what solutions might be devised towards solving these problems. Many of these prohlems have lx?en discussed in the Daily News from time to time but this newspaper is anxious to obtain some new and constructive ideas and, therefore, we are inviting our readers to express their views on the subject of WHAT PRINCE RUPERT NEEDS TODAY? You are invited to enunciate what you consider Prince Rupert's needs and to write a concise answer as to how best that need might be solved. The articles will be published (with or without the names of the authors, according to wish of the writers). They will be judged impartially on the primary basis of value of subject matter although conciseness, style and legibility will also count. Mayor H. M. Daggett and W. M. Watts have consented to assist the Daily News in the judging. There will be six prizes: First, $10 in cash. Second, $5 in cash. Third, $2.50 in cash. And three six-month subscriptions to the Daily News. The contest will close March 15. Old and young alike are asked to submit articles. The primary purpose is, of course, not to win prizes but to bring forward suggestions which may prove useful in forwarding the development of Prince Rupert. Pentecostal Has Cottage Meeting Under the supervision of Pastor John Lfnney and with 23 members and friends present, the weekly "cottage prayer meeting" of the Full Gospel Tabernacle was held at the home of Mrs. A.
