Team Spirit in Britain jv ' When Mr. Attlee in his recent '! broadcast opened the government's ' campaign for greater productivity, he emphasized that the new drive ''. ' must- be a national endeavour sup-: : ' ported by all members of the com- munity. It is a task, he said, "which we, the people of Britain, have to accomplish." Obviously, therefore, the first stage of this campaign was for the government to secure agreement and co-operation between labor and employers. And here it took rapid action. Within four days of the Prime Minister's appeal, the government hr ;met representative bodies of labor and the employers. It had discussed current problems with them and it had secured their support. This prompt reaction on the part of employers and workers reflects the earnestness with which the nation regards the urgency of its task. Equally significant, it reveals that the energy with which Britain has seized and grappled with her war product ion problems is very much alive; today. Advantage of Free Press The whole world can know when Canadians hold different views. That is the vital advantage of a free ipress and free speech. Where both ;are lacking, as in Russia, Spain, or any other autocracy, that is their vital; weakness. Dorothy Thompson, in oiie of her recent columns, made that fact abundantly clear when she stated : "This fact of a non-existent free public opinion in the Soviet Union, and of Its suppression wherever the Soviet Union extends, Is the greatest single impediment to peace and understanding in the world today. One need only think of how things would look were Russia, though a socialist or state -capitalist country, also! a free democracy, to realize how near a genuine world organization could be."!

From Moscow there comes a continuous and bewildering stream of demands and criticisms. Of these the world can make no appraisal so long as the Russian press is muzzled, so long as the man in the street remains in deadly fear of the secret police. In the meanwhile the rest of the world can only remain watchful. Nurse Shortage The deplorable situation at the small United Church hospital at Port Simpson, north of Prince Rupert, where 40 patients are being cared for by a single nurse, and where the matron has collapsed from strain and overwork, is only one evidence of a serious situation prevalent today, says Vancouver News-Herald. All outpost hospitals, and most municipal and private hospitals, are in urgent need of nurses. Even here at home, the big Vancouver General Hospital has 80 new beds, installed in new wards, which cannot be utilized because the hospital cannot get nurses to staff the wards. This is in the face of a serious shortage of hospital accommodation in the city. Several reasons are given for the current shortage of nurses. Many nurses are still in the armed forces, where they enjoy better conditions, than in municipal and church institutions. Large numbers, including many recent graduates, are now married. Many find better pay in other institutions or in private nursing. In general, there seems to be little attraction in the pay, working conditions and institutional discipline of hospitals. As this is the actual situation and as society cannot get along without adequately staffed hospitals, there appears .to be just one remedy. The remedy is fairly obvious higher pay for nurses. Remuneration for nurses will have to be adequate to attract, sufficient numbers of women to the profession. The local situation, just as much as that of the unfortunate little, ouU post' of Porf Simpson, is a pointed demonstration of this fact. It would be infinitely more logical to pay a sufficient salary to get enough nurses for the Vancouver General Hospital than to let new wards lie empty at a time of acute shortage of accommodation.

City Pr0in ce WHAT Prince Rupert Needs (The Tenth of a series of, suggestions by readers of the Daily News for the betterment of this city). You ask in the Dally News for Ideas that may be useful for the development of this port for the bringing of Industries Into It. You have already received some very gcod suggestions of possible Industries that could be developed In the district but it seems to me there ae some other matters that need our attention so that the capital we have In the city may be Invested without being hampered by foolish laws. The city bylaws should be revised so that possible Industries and construction may not be hampered. The Zoning Bylaw badly needs revising. It has noc been lived up to. Do you know that at the presen time you cannot get a permit to build an up-to-date apartment or duplex on Fourth and Fifth Avenues, yet large residences have been reconverted Into rooming houses and apartments. Then we have wartime houses, halls, stores, bowling alleys, hospital etc. Yet the bylaw bars the building of first class construction. This bylaw allows houses to be built at the low cost of $3500 and expects to keep It as a first class residential district. If you study the contour of most of the vacant lots on Fourth Ave. you will find thp.t it Is comprised of holes and dips that make It unsuitable for residences but which would be ideal for apartments. It Is too late now to keep I cost would not be great to develop. And why not a god hotel? One built on the heights overlooking the oil tanks! Here you have a lovely view of the harbor and overlook the business section of the waterfront. You have plenty of space to beautify the grounds and could have an auto camp. A hotel would be very suitable on this ground. As an added attraction for our interior friends, up a public market in case they wish to bring in some of their produce for sale? Maybe an auto camp In connection with the market would be a good Idea?
