Freedom of speecli and freedom of the; press have been well exemplified in Canada during the current discussion of" overseas reinforcements and conscription. In how many other countries of the world even so-called democracies would people have been permitted to say and newspapers been allowed to print utterances and news such as have been so freely vented during the past few weeks in Canada? We cannot imagine, for instance, an officer in the armies of some countries being permitted to make statements such as Major Connie Smythe made about the state of reinforcements or where army officers have been allowed to air their personal views on government military policy such as Sixth Division officers commanding did in Vancouver a week ago. In some countries publicity in press, and air would have been banned for incidents like these in Quebec, Vernon, Prince George, Terrace, Nanaimo, Chil-liwack and Courtenay. As for the army personnel, there are regulations laid down which forbid officers expressing their opinions as did Smythe and the Sixth Division officers. There is reason to believe that, in view of recent developments, there may be a tightening down now. There are often times when it is really in the interest and even the safety of the public that opinions and incidents should not be to much projected into the limelight. Let's Get Together ... Iti pays to be co-operative, and : it will joay the people' of CentralVBritish Columbia to lift up iheir eyes' and'see beyond their immediate confines. The timeus now opportune to see ourselves as almighty inland empire requiring a unity of voice and, a unity of purpose' rather than separate communities, each with its own demands, arid unconcerned about the adjacent towns and districts. United for the common good of all, a great empire can be developed in Central B.C., extending from the Al PAGE TWO port of Prince Rupert and extending south deep into the Cariboo and north j to the last outpost. j Prince George and residents have long smiled superiority when we have I along the C.N.R. line. Much of this i criticism has not been fair or just, but heard criticism of ourselves by towns we have done little or nothing to overcome it. We, in turn, have criticized ! the others, and all this has made forj disunity in our country for many years. Central British Columbians have for decades sought to interest the southern part of the province and influential men in the wonders and the needs of our country. But this hasf been spasmodic, One town or city j would act at a time. And many times; one community would ask for some-i thing that was bitterly opposed by I another. The question of a road to' Alaska has long been a sore point. Our lack of unity on this question certainly, didn't help when study was being given the route for the Alaska Military Highway, which is to be abandoned, Now Central B.C. has another chance. Leading men in the Pacific Northwest States are more than pass-, ingly interested in having the United States build a highway north to Alaska that will connect them with that north Alaska Panhandle unto them. Now is the time for all Central British Columbians to see the broad j picture; Now they must appreciate! that what benefits any one part of our interior empire will benefit all. Irrespective of where a new road to i Alaska started in Central B.C., all of our country would benefit. Realizing this we must express ourselves as agreed on the need and the importance of such a road. By speaking as one, and speaking loudly, we will lend encouragement to our American cousins in the Northwest States. Their enthusiasm for the project might well lag if we showed no interest in a project from which we would benefit so generally.

SAME OHJEcf EdlfoV, Daily News: a THE DAILY NEWS WHAT TYPE OP AIRCRAFT IS THIS? You counin t possibly know unless you were In on the secret. It Is the AL 504, Royal Air Force Transport Command Liberator, so modified that It is the only one of its kind in the world. Known as a "Commando'' it has logged more than 400,000 miles travelling on historical war missions and special flights to every part of the globe and it is the most famed aircraft operating out of Canada. Recently, it Inaugurated the new Canada -Australia regular air service. Some months ago the standard stabilizer fins of an orthodox Liberator were removed and a single tail, 31 ft. from the ground and highest fitted to any aircraft, was substituted. Seven feet were added to the length of the aircraft to permit Installation of arm chair seats, beds and an electric kitchenette. As the "Commando" was unique, the photograph could not previously be published, but is now released because there is no likelihood that on future special missions the aircraft will be with and he took advantage of the occasion for one of his scathing speeches.

I was a party to this endor-' sation in spite of the fact that! I voted at a previous Legion ' meeting, held earlier in the j month, demanding conscription. I do not deny this but I studied the situation as the news came in and became of the opinion that the issue of coascription was being made a pqlitical football and therefore endorsed the McNaughton resolution.
