HUNTER Managing" Editor LETTERBOX REAL CAUSE OF FASCISM Editor, Daily News: It has been said by way oi proverb "Repeat a thing three times and you believe it." This seems to have been the self-deluding method used by Utopians from the' time of Plato right down through to the Leveller of the Seventeenth Century amd on through the Fabians, Socialists, etc, of the Nineteenth to the Socialists, Communists, C.CF.'ers of the Twentieth. There is nothing new in their proposals which have been con sistently rejected by the solid common-sense of the man in the street for centuries. Common honesty demand, that the oft-repeated and dellb erately misleading statement that "Mussolini and Fascism' and "Hitler and Nazism" are the product of the capitalistic system should be debunked. The rise of Fascism in Ital was the direct result of the excesses of Socialism and its logical conclusion Syndicalism. Nazism was the direct result of the actions of the previous Ger man Socialist government aided and abetted by the underground German military machine. Franco's dictatorship in Spain was also plainly the reaction from the blatant despotism of the Republican Solcalist government. This is not to endorse nor condone either fascism, Nazism, oi Francolsm, but, In the name of common-sense, let us face facts, not fancies; Another fallacy presented by the Socialists is the cool assumption that all "working men" naturally favor Socialism or C.CF.'ism. The leaders of these movements both national and local, might feel their "ears burn" could they hear some of the comments and opinions ex PRINCE RUPERT . . .

Friday, September 22, 1944 EDITORIAL V-DAY OBSERVANCE . . . j The people are being told what they should not do on V-Day but, as far as we know, nothing much has been said or uone in tiie matter of making plans for observing chat momentous occasion in Prince Rupert. It is being generally accepted in authoritative circles that the victorious end of the war with Germany may not be so very far removed. It would be well to start planning now our "V-Day" program along lines appropriate to the occasion in the spirit of rejoicing, thanksgiving and appreciation. Such organizations as the city council, the Canadian Legion and Ministerial Association might well take the lead in the community observance in which the military authorities would, doubtless, be glad to co-operate. As we have said before undue jollification or ostentatious demonstration would not seem timely for such a solemn occasion. No doubt, there will be spontaneous celebration which can, no doubt, be .kept in" due bounds if careful preparations for an appropriate observance are made. pressing the feeling of the real "working man." The trouble ls and amateur, is "vocal" and the unthinking are apt to Judge the size of the dog by the volume of his bark which is usually many times his real strength or value.- In conclusion, I would say to our Socialist Utopians "Don't think you are going to capitalize; on the Inevitable war-weariness of the people to put over youi schemes where no one counts but a politician or a government of ficial for the common-sense oi the British man in the street will, as usual, assert Itself in defence of its hard-won liberties which he has no intention or defending from one dictator to hand over to another nor to a ( KrouD of government dictators.

This step on the part of the workers at the Seal Cove plant of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Co. brings all fish workers in the shore section of the industrj THE DAILY NEWS on the- Prince Rupert waterfront into one Jabor organization. Commenting on the merger, Aid. Tom Elliott, past secretary of Local 49 and newly electee v secretary of the Seal Cove branch of Local' 89, expressed the opinion that this step would con tribute to the betterment of conditions for all fish workers, not only in Prince Rupert but also on the whole B. C. coast. By surrendering the Local 49 charter, a further step toward the formation of one union embracing all B.C. fish workers would be accomplished. He said the formation of such an organization was the goal which all progressive workers in the fishing industry should strive to reach. He further stated that only by attain ng the maximum degree of unity could flshworkers play their proper part, not only at present, but also in the post-war period. Jack Watson, long time worker at Seal Cove, was elected chairman of the new branch, of Local 89, with William Hunter as war den. Seal Cove workers are now part of an organization embracing all B.C. flshworkers in canneries, reduction plants, cold storage plants, and fresh fish sections of the industry.

SU TlW sugar situation sN0f sweet FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE SUGAR CANADA CONSUMES HAS TO BE IMPORTED Tliis map shows where Canada, Great Britain and the United Slates got their sugar in the good old days of peace. Our three countries take practically all the exportable sugar from these major sugar-exporting ureas. But supplies have either been cut off by enemy occupation of the country as in the case of Java and the Philippines, or their production radically reduced by shortage of workers, as in the case of Hawaii, Porto ltico, Australia, Trinidad, Fiji. ...is At the time of "Pearl Harbour" the United Nations had a reserve stoek-pile of about 3 million tons, but for the last 3 years we've been using more than has been produced and dipping heavily Even the production of hect sugar in Canada and the United States lias hern drastically cut by labour shortage. In lmth countries the '13 sugar beet crop was forty per cent lex than in '11. The only country to show an important inert-awe is Cuba, where output had for years been deliberately restricted. Hut its increase has not been sudicient to offset the losses elsewhere let alone meet the increased demand. ROLLING ON SUGAR The war has brought some unusual demands on the United Nations' sugar pool. Vast quantities have been taken for making industrial alcobol used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber (tires, etc.) as well as T.N.T. and smokeless powder. For instance, the explosive to fill five 16-inch shells requires as much sugar as THE SUPPLY IS SHARED All sugar supplies are pooled and under the control of the Combined Food Board of the United Nations, which allots supplies to Canada, Uiu'ted States and .Great Britain on a uniform basis. GAR MM WE'RE LIVING is produced on an arre of the finest sugar land. This year Cuban sugar alone used for making industrial alcobol will equal Canada's normal sugar imports for more than two years. DO WE NEED MORE SUGAR? A century ago the whole world didn't consume as much sugar as Canada does today. Our sweet tooth has been acquired in quite recent times. Sugar rates high for its energy value, but starchy food is a good substitute. ON OUR SUGAR CAPITAL into "reserve." Liberated nations will have Jo dip in too. Extra good crops could improve the situation, but greatly increased supplies are not in sight. If current consumption keeps up, we could be very short of sugar next year. We must do the utmost to conserve our supplies.
