Whether
veteran
Canadian
fWntegr
soldiers
who
have
won
their
laurels,
in
the
battlefields
of
Europe
after
spending
dreary
years
in
England
waiting
for
action
will
be
transported
to
the
Orient
to
clean
up

war
with
Japan
or
whether
80,000

Home
Guard
draftees
now
stationed
in
Canada
will
be
ordered
to
do.
that
area
is
the
moot
question
in
Canada
today.
Some
of
the
draftees
may
not
like
to
be
compelled
to
do
a
job
which
after
all
is
quite
as
much-their
duty
as
those
who
volunteered
to
go
to
Europe
and
do
the
battle
against
Hitler.
On
the
other
hand,
we
cannot
imagine
that
the
boys
who
have
fought
already
in
Europe,
gone
through
all.
the
terrors
and
hardships
of
war,
have
seen
their
comrades
die
and
suffer
will
like
it
any
more
to,
have
to
proceed
to
another
field
of
combat
while
their
less
loyal
or
courageous
fellow
Canadian
citizens,
are
permitted
to
remain
in
idleness
at
home.
We
are
inclined
to
believe
that,
in
due
course,
the
draftees
will
find
themselves
on
their
way
to
the
Ofient
whether
they
like
it
or
not.
i
The
authorities
need
not
worry
unduly
about
the
possibility
of
trouble
with
the
draftees.
I
If
it
ista
matter
of
trouble,
the
veterans
who
have
served
might
also
have
their
possibilities
if
they
are
not
treated
fairly.
I
But
we
are
confident
that
the
government,
in,
due
time,
will,
adopt
a
policy
which
will
be
fair
and
generally
satisfactory.
,
One
course
appears
to.
be
obvious.
;
There
are
thousands
of
well
trained
qualified,
soldiers
in
Canada
today,
and,
doubtless,
it
is
not
the
in
tention
of
the
government
to
keep,
them
doing
what
iney
are
aoing
now.
Logical
Naval

The

Province
boasts'

n
the
occasion
of
the
formal
opening
of

Discovery
as
a
permanent
naval
training
establishment,
that
Vancouver
is
now
a
real
naval
port.
Vancouver
has
algo
received
important
contracts
for
naval
buildings...
.
No
doubt,
the
naval
authorities
at
Ottawa,
are
fully
cognizant
of
Prince
Rupert's
strategic
position
in:
the
Pacific
theatre,
particularly
its
nearer
proximity
by
almost
500
miles
to
the
Orient.
If.
there4
is
any
suitable
point
for
a

Canadian
Pacific
coast
it
is

and
we
emphasize
that
not
just
because
we
want

because
we
believe
it
to
be
in
the
interests
of
the
protection
and
defnce
of
the
whole
of
the
Dominion
to
have

here.
Of
course,
there
could
not
be
such
a
thing
as
Ottawa
inconsistently
establishing
a
naval
base
at

at

of

Civic
Election
Coming
Up
...
.
We
are
reminded
that
October
31.
a
week
from
today,
is
the
deadline
for
registration
of
those
who
would
vote
as
householders
and
licenseholders
at
the
forthcoming
civic
election
in,
December
when
pqlling
will
be
held
to
choose
the
194
mayor
and
four
aldermen
as
well
as
members
of
the
board
of
school
tustees.
Interest
in
the
civic
election
seems
to
be
at
a
minimum
just
now
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
the
voting
is-such
a
short
way
off.
That
is
a

of
