It
is
gratifying
to
tell
the
news
today
that
the
big
German
counter-offensive
on
the
Meuse
River
sector
of
the
western
front
has
not
only
been
stayed
but
it
is
being
driven
back.
As
has
been
suggested
by
General
Eisenhower,
the
big
gamble
may
become
the
greatest
military
disaster
for
the
Nazis.
Of
course,
it
is
a
little
early
to
count
too
much
upon
that.
Yet
it
has
its
possibilities.
One
can
remember
the
great
final
push
on
which
Hindenburg
gambled
in
1918,
seemed
likely
to
inflict
a

collapse

soon
brought
World
War
No.

to
a
close.
Even
here
in
Prince
Rupert
we
have
followed
the
news
of
the
war
on
the
western
front
with
feelings
of
tenseness
and
suspense
for,
in
its
bearing
on
the
whole
war
picture,
conceivably,
it
had
the
possibilities
of
making
its
ramifications
eventually
felt
here.
It
is,
therefore,
a
definite
relief
to
us
now
that
things
are
going
better.
Meanwhile
the
vicious
Nazi
counter-offensive
in
Europe
has
punctured
a
lot
of
wishful
hopes
that
we
had
been
regaling
ourselves
with.
v
If
we
are
to
smash
our
enemies
as
we
must
or
perish,
then
all
such
easy
hopes
must
be
completely
abandoned.
We
must
replace
them
with
the
determination
to
see
this
war
through
to
a
complete
finish.
This
very
probably
means
another
year
of
fighting
at
least,
if
not
in
Europe,
then
certainly
in
the
Pacific
and,
after
that,
not
years
but
decades
of
the
most
careful
supervision.
The
last
time
we
quit
too
soon.
When
the
shooting
stopped,
we
thought
we
had
also
won
the
peace.
Later
we
realized
that
we
had
not,
and
the
whole
miserable
business,
with
its
tragic
loss
of
blood
and
treasure,
had
to
be
started
all
over
again.
Now
we
must
solemnly
swear
that
this
time
the
job
will
be
finally
and
completely
finished.
Victory
will
be
speeded,
lives
will
be
saved,
if,
as
jUhould,
the
new
Nazi
offensive
resultf
in
re-dedication
by
all
of
us
to
the
task
of
achieving
peace.

Returning
Here
i
Better
War
News
.
.
.
It
is
a
hopeful
sign
to
see
at
least
one
fishing
industry
establishing
in
the
area
,as
disclosed
in
the
announcement
of
the
B.C.
Packers
that
ic
has
a
ciam
cannery
in
readiness
for
operation
at
Port
Edward
and
that
the
pnmt
will
go
into
production
in
mid-January.
Since
war
began
we
have
become
too
accustomed
to
seeing
the
fisheries
moving
away
and
it
has
caused
us
some
concern.
Now
the
very
natural
fact
that
clams
are
available
hereabouts
in
greater
quantity
than
around
Vancouver
has
caused
a
plant
to
be
closed
there
and
one
opened
here
to
take
its
place.
Possibly,
the
same
thing
may
happen
in
connection
with
other
phases
of
the
industry
if
not
immediately
at
least
after
the
war
is
over
and
things
become
stabilized
here
in
the
matter
of
sites
and
other
essential
factors.
Incidentally,
it
is
a
promising
sign
that
a
major
fish
producing
concern
like
B.C.
Packers
should
be
extending
its
plant
and
fish
processing
and
handling
facilities
here.
It
has
done
that
on
quite
a
large
scale
here
during
the
past
year.
C.N.R.'s
Big
War
Job
.
.
.
The
annual
r
e
v
i
e
w
of
R.
C.
Vaughan,
president
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways,
shows
another
fine
year's
work
particularly
on
behalf
of
Canada's
war
effort
by
the
Dominion's
national
railway
system.
That
this
has
been
done
with
a
minimum
of
added
equipment
is
the
notable
feature.
It
speaks
well
for
the
management
and
the
esprit
do
corps
of
the
system
staff.
Here
in
Prince
Rupert,
important
a
this
line
may
be,
we
have
a
glimpse
of
the
operation
as
a
railway
but
it
is
only
a
glimpse.
One
has
to
travel
the
system
from
coast
to
coast
to
fully
appreciate
the
magnitude
of
the
organization
and
the
volume
of
the
traffic
in
both
freight
and
passenger
departments.
Mr.
Vaughan's
report
gives
some
interesting
figures
on
the
shipbuilding
angle
of
the
Canadian
National
war
effort
at
Prince
Rupert
four
minesweepers
and
eleven
cargo
vessels
built
as
well
as
a
great
volume
of
repair
work
running
into
thousands
of
ships
large
and
small.

Is

co-operating
with
Industry
in
working
out
a
blueprint
for

It
is
too
early
to
go
into
detail,
but
I
might
mention,
as
an
example,
that
we
have
in
mind
new
types
of
passenger
equipment.
The
trend
after
the
war
will
be
toward
what
we
call
"closed
accommodation"
in
sleeping
cars,
to
such
types
as
roomettes
and
double
bedrooms.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
travellers
have,
through
the
war,
learned,
for
the
first
time,
the
comfort
and
convenience
of
travel
by
night
and
we
shall
be
prepared
to
meet
their
requirements.
We
plan
new
types
of
coaches
and
improved
dining
facilities
for
travellers.
Taking
into
account
the
expansion
of
the
smoking
habit,
we
have
in
mind
enlarged
facilities
for
smokers.
The
rail
ways
are
alive
to
the
fact
that
competition
with
other
forms
of
transport
will
be
accentuated
after
the
war
and
they
may
be
depended
on
to
keep
abreast
of
the
times
and
provide
the
service
that
will
insure
them
their
fair
share
of
the
traffic.
