(Authorized as Second Class Mall, Post Office Department, Ottawa). The Late Norman Watt CJu The civil service of this country ; "stands on a high plane today as far as the quality and integrity of its personnel is concerned. If there was ever an individual member of the civil service of British Columbia who could' be held up as a shining example of its all-round worthiness we can say that the late Norman A. Watt was such a man. Mr. Watt was introduced to the civil service of this province as a result of his early day associations in ;the Yukon with Former Prime Minister T. D. Pattullo who realized his qualities. For a few years he was Mr. Pattullo's private secretary and from that position was appointed to the government age'ntship at Prince Rupert. It was not long before any idea that Mr. Watt might carry into his official duties here any political sympathies was dispelled. To, the contrary he soon became known, as' a fearless, tactful and meticuIou i fair official who treated all those wjth whom he came in contact' in official business justly and alike. He feared and favored none and was always' exactingly careful that every , person with whom he came in con-' tact sh6uld be served justly and equitably. He was as careful about the government's business as he would be his own arid won the approbation of all with whom he came in contact for his efficiency and square dealing. , 3mou In Norman Watt's p asin g , Prince Rupert loses a ,fjpe citizen .and the government an outstanding-'IV' able official. Here in the Daily News office we had done business with him in one, way;, or another for t many years and we can sincerely share with the public and th,e many personal friends of deceased the feelings of regret at his sudden passing and the sympathy which will .be widely extended to those who are left to mourn.

Priced from 50 tv?57 'THE MfeN'S SHOP' We Have Done .50 The spectacular aspects of Hiro-hito's. descent from a mystical and mythical elevation have caught the world's attention. His renunciation of the legend of the Emperor's divinity writes itself in blazing rays in one of the most astonishing pages of history. But when we have stopped blink ing we may turn our thoughts to that event's less dazzling aspects, One of these is the question whether Hirohito's move is not a quietly and shrewdly calculated manoeuvre amounting not so much to a renunciation as a reclamation project. The object of such a move could be to save as much of the power of the Japanese throne as is now salvageable. Hirohito has provided a smashing first act for a great political drama. But if the drama is to have substance, the following acts will have to disclose as deep reforms in Jananese Dolitical thinking as are LOVIN'S CABINET SHOP PHONE GREEN 974 Cablneta and Toys made to order Furniture Repaired Upholstery a Specialty 117 2nd Ave. W.

Such reforms must certainly result from basic chances in spiritual concepts. But how swiftly, they come will depend in part on how much aid or hindrance they receive from those classes of Japanese who have in the past benefited from what the Emperor now admits was a "false concept." If the Emperor is no longer a god, is he still the repository of sovereignty of the Japanese nation? Or do the people become sovereign? And through what' methods and when? The Japanese Emperor has attracted world attention not only to his more or less graceful descent from cerulean realms but by the political potentialities that his . move opens up. From here on we shall be watching for these.

BUILD UP FISHERIES A program designed to conserve and build up the salmon resources of this coast and at the same time assist la the rehabilitation of a large number of returned veterans has been sent by the Canadian Legion of Port Albernl to the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce with a view to obtaining Its endorsa-tion. The matter came before the Chamber at its meeting Monday night and waj passed on to the fisheries committee. The program would provide for the establishment of schools wherein war veterans would be taught practical and scientific fish husbandry, a scientific survey of all potential salmon bearing streams in, the province, establishment of salmon hatcheries in necessary areas, establishment of propagation areas for sporting fish, destruction of noncommercial predatory fish in commercial areas, removal of predatory game fish to areas where they will not conflict with propagation of commercial fish, planting of forests adjac- j ent to salmon streams, installation of structures in streams i to facilitate the migration of I fish and installation of fish lad ders to assist parent salmon to reach the spawning grounds. The Port Albernl resolution further asks that, if the federal Department of Fisheries cannot see fit to inaugurate such a program, it turn over the control of salmon fisheries in British Columbia to the provincial Department of Fisheries.
