STRIKES
are
becoming
so
wide-snread
and
serious
not
only
in
the
United
States
but
also
in
Canada
that
there
is
real
danger
in
their
purpose
becoming
premanently
and
irrevocably
lost.
Certainly,
there
is
imminent
danger
of
widespread
suffering
among
the
people
as
a
whole.
There
are
certain
commodities
a
disturbed
supply
of
which
can
be
endured
for
a
long
time
without
much
hardship.
But,
when
the
distribution
of
foodstuffs
becomes
directly
interfered
with,
as
is
the
effect
of
the
maritime
workers'
strike
in
United'
States
and
the
farmers'
strike
in
Canada,
the
situation
assumes
much
more
directly
dangerous
aspect.
,
When
strikes
of
this
nature
are
instituted,
a
serious
responsibility
is
.assumed
for
those
responsible
for
them
and
also,,
of
course,
by
those
persons
who
answer
the
call
and,
for
timidity
or
other
reason,
fall
in
line
r-when
the
strike
whip
is
cracked.
In
both
the
maritime
workers'
.
and
the
farmers'
strike,
government
:
action
or
lack
of
it
appears
to
have
"
;
been
the
final
actuating
element.
Governments
are,
of
course,
in
a
difficult
position
as
they
endeavour
to
;
maintain
the
economic
stability
of
the
country,
a
collapse
of
which
would
have
disastrous
effects
on
the
:
lives
and
livings
of
all
people.
There
is
no
intention
here
to
discuss
one
way
or
another
the
merits
of
the
claims
of
the
strikers
but
it
must
be
apparent
to
most
of
thinking
people
today
that,
if

of
highway
construction
in
British
Columbia,
announces
that
there
will
be
paving
of
several
highways
next
year.
s
far
as
is
known
at
present,
the
Prince
Rupert
Highway
is
not
included
in
the
list
of
roads
due
for
such
treatment
although
parts
of
the
Cariboo
Highway
are.
So
that
the
provincial
government
may
give
the
Prince
Rupert
Highway
treatment
and
improvements
similar
to
that
which
other
roads,
and
there
are
many
in

which
are
also
badly
in
need,
receive
it
is
desirable
the
question
of
use
of
the
right-of-way
over
the
Canadian
National
Railwavs
should
be
soon
settled
between
the
Dominion
government
and
the
railway
company.
That
done,
we
can
rightly
expect
that
paving
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Highway,
western
end
of
the
northern
transprovincial
road
already
a
popular
tourist
motorist
route,
shall
also
be
undertaken.
That,
of
course,
is
the
only
ultimate
solution
to
make
t
a
highway
which
motorists
can
use
with
reasonably
assured
comfort
and
safety.
IMPORTANCE
OF
ARMS
IN
ANY
SORT
of
international
'
crisis
a
nation,
looks
to
the
state
of
its
armed
forces.
Not
that
war,
in
its
modern
definition,
is
just
around
the
corner.
Probably
no
World
War
Three
is
yet
upon
us.
But
there
is
going
to
be
a
good
deal
of
preventative
maneuvering
a
show
of
firmness
here
and
there
to
forestall
"incidents"
which
might
otherwise
pile
up
into
a
chain
reaction.
And
this
is
still
a
world
in
which
diplomacy
succeeds
not,
perhaps,
in
proportion
to
the
size
of
armies
in
the
field
but
.certainly
in
ratio
to
what
concrete
evidence
a
nation
gives
of
its
determination
to
"stay
in
the
game."
perslon
Is
far
easier
at
sea
than
on
land.
In
fact,
the
normal
dispersion
of
warships
in
the
Second
Great
War,
whether
In
harbors
or
at
sea,
would
protect
most
fighting
ships
from
being
sunk
or
put
out
of
action
by
any
one
bomb.
Must
Meet
Three
Tests
Future
warships
will
be
designed
to
meet
three
atomic
bovib
conditions.
One
is
blast
that
can
twist
Inch-thick
steel
of
present
strength
-at
half
i
mile,
but
will
not
crumple
present
armor
plate
at
that
distance.
Another
is
flash
heat
that
mell-ed
some
of
the
top
structures
of
ships
within
a
thousand
feet
at
Bikini
Lagoon.
This
melting
damage
was
not
serious,
but
the
flash
affects
on
topside
personnel
would
have
been
crippling
with
present
naval
design.
The
third
design
problem
is
to
meet
radioactive,
rays,
something
new
in
warfare.
This
probably
will
involve
both
design
and
tactics.
One
obvious
approach
is
a
structure
with
somewhat
the
cigar
shape
and
design
of
"a
submarine.
Modern
submarines
essentially
are
one
hull
inside
another,
built
to
resist
pressure.
That
shape
and
structure
also
is
well
adapted
to
resist
to
some
extent
the
enourmous
pressures
put
on
ships
by
atomic
bomb
explosions.
,
Even
if
this
basic
design
principle
is
not
adopted,
it
Is
likely
to
