The military authorities considered, a road necessary Jind work was begun,'1 The road is not finished yet, but $10,000,000 has been spent on it. The threat from Japan has disappeared and there seems some question now as to whether the road will be completed. In the debate at Ottawa on the development of the north country, some interesting information came out in connection with the Prince Rupert-Hazelton highway. Mr. Crerar, minister of mines and resources, told the House of Commons that some 23 miles remained unfinished and that about $500,000 would be required to bring this stretch up to the standard of the remainder. Uritish Columbia members nave been pressing to have the road completed, and deserve all support. ; Even if the Japanese threat has vanished, it is absurd to leave a $10,000,000 project uncompleted and unusable for lack of the expenditure of another $500,000. Even if the road is no longer useful as a military highway, it can be made highly useful from I a development point of view. In any case, who is to gav that its use for military i purposes is gone? The war is not over yet. And there is. as yet, no guarantee that when it is oVer there will not be other wars.

Recommendations which are almost certain to be adopted, included plans for a knockout competition after the war when countries will instruct their teams to "aim for victory from the first ball and maintain an enterprising attitude until the last over." Another .move to brighten the game, often the butt of British wit because of its slowness, was a call for play ers to "adopt a dynamic atti tude towards the game, whether batting, bowling or fielding."
