III It l)rfrtfr Ttltirrt "nNt refines An Independent dally newspaper devoted to the upbuilding of jyiliuv uUjJHi uii JJims Prince Rupert and all the communities comprising Saturday, September 14, 1946 -DAILIES AND UNIONS APART from the seeming lack of point of making such statements, the factual accuracy of the charge made by the president of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers' Association in the convention at Halifax that the reporting and publishing of news in daily newspapers is influenced by union pressure is something to be questioned. The statement would suggest that there is not being maintained that impartiality in presenting the news on which Canadian daily newspapers have long prided themselves. Nevertheless, the charge against the daily newspapers is an interesting one. Now the dailies are accused of leaning unionwards in their news presentation. For a long time the union people had been suggesting that the papers were partial to the so-called capitalistic interests and supposedly ' controlled by them in their views and presentation of news. -As for the Daily News, we can say that there is foundation in fact for neither suggestion. We may be friends of the "Capitalists" and we may be friends of the union men too, but in fairness to both, neither try to exert pressure on our news and views. Such pressure, even indirectly, is not applied. As far as we know neither fear nor favor ex-' ists with one side or the other. ( NAVAL DIVISION HERE ANNOUNCEMENT is made today that approval will be given by the Department of National Defence for the re-establishment of a naval restive division in Prince Rupert and that, whether or not the establishment takes place, will depend upon a sufficient number of men evincing an interest. Therefore, it, is important that there should be a substantial muster of men when an organizational meeting is held here next week with an executive of the Department of National Defence (Navy) in attendance. It is well remembered how a naval-reserve establishment was maintained so successfully in Prince Rupert before World War II, providing interesting and profitable training for large numbers of young men who .went through it men who were ahe and ready to be of invaluable -service wheri the call of war came. v There is the necessary equipment here for such an establishment. Of course, it will be the men themselves not only naval veterans of the war but all young men, be they ex-service men or otherwise whose volume of interest will decide whether there is to be a division here. But the organization will be assured of the blessing and support of the community as a whole. The Sea Cadet Corps puts many boys through early naval training. The reserve division would give these boys a place to carry on after the Cadet days are over. The two bodies would complement each other - admirably, particularly in a place like Prince Rupert which is sea and navy-minded. HOLDING INFLATION LINE THE INCREASE, in our cost of I living index, while not, unexpected and for the most part reflecting increases which had. to be authorized owing to seriously increased costs of production, is nevertheless a danger signal, a warning to all Canadians. Taken in conjunction with the Hum of events in the United States, where the long succession of pressures and strains led, to the breakdown of effective price control, it provides a mild foretaste of the condition which BURMESE GIFT NEW DELHI O) Five hundred bats of Burma rice part of a free gift to the Madras food regioa from Indian residents in Burma have been delivered at Madras.

Even if the most favorable conditions should prevail, there will be some further model-ate increase in living costs, as not all of the price adjustments already authorized have been entirely reflected in retail prices of such articles as clothing and furniture. Higher costs abroad will also have some further impact on the Canadian cost of living. While the fourfold action taken recently by the government to strengthen Canada's defences against inflation could not prevent some moderate rise in the cost of living, it can still prevent a sharp and disruptive increase in the price structure provided it .receives the active and resolute support of the Canadian people. If the anti-inflation policy is to be successful, there must be restraint on the part of business, labor, farm and other producer groups. A new and severe cycle of price increases will be inevitable if particular groups exert their bargaining power to the full in the present conditions of shortages, leading to the kind of economic disruption which many countries are suffering today and which Canada went through after the first World War. The situation calls for a steadfast determination to hold the line. The issue is squarely before us either a moderate and carefully controlled readjustment, or a sharp and cumulating inflation. IN THE DAYS OF MAN AND WOMEN of the Christian MEN faith are taught to search the soul and free,, the mind and conscience of hatred and selfishness. Many events leading up to the trial and death of Christ are hard to understand. For example, Peter, who was later made a Saint by the Christian Church, made a miserable showing of loyalty and faith when he was being cross-examined by the Jerusalem' police. In the garden of Gethsemane, the night before Christ was betrayed, all of His .disciples went to sleep, perfectly relaxed why should they worry? Not a pretty example of loyalty and faith, yet all of them have been made Saints. The only real loyalty shown by the followers of Christ was his mother Mary. The death of Christ became the most heroic and sacred event in all ages. He proved His case in His last days of His trial. No man has ever given to the world the hope and faith for the utimate peace and happiness of mankind as this man of Galilee. On the other hand, one wonders what has taken place in the heart of man in this day of crime, graft, confusion and selfishness throughout the world. Are we any different than His disciples? We believe in this Man, we say we believe in His principles, then when we find that His teachings interefere with our pocketbook, or our ambition for power, or our greed for luxurious things, or our appetite for popularity, or our selfish desire to cheat and defraud, or our hatred of classes and creeds, we fall far short in our loyalty and faith. However, there are more good people in the world than bad, but the structure of society makes it tough for the good to be good and excites the ego of the bad to be worse. We talk about reconstructing political society along progressive lines; perhaps, we better reconstruct Christianity along progressive lines. James Marshall, San Francisco Gyro Club, In "Gyroscope."
