Cannot
Eliminate
Germany
.
.
.
If
Russia
and
France
are
already
beginning
to
lay
plans
in
the
conference
at
Moscow
between
Prenjier
Stalin
and
General
DeGaulle
to
gobble
up
Germany
between
them,
a
good
deal
of
disapproval
may
be
anticipated.
It
is
this
sort
of
thing
that
leads
to
wars
and
it
is
supposedly
a
principle
of
new
democracy
that
there
shall
be
no
territorial
aggrandizement
for
any
nation
based
on
nothing
more
in
the
way
of
claim
than
that
of
conquest.
True
Germany
will
have
to
be
completely
and
grimly
defeated
at
arms.
Germany
shall
have
to
surrender
unconditionally.
She
will
have
to
be
occupied
and
kept
under
the
closest
of
policing
and
supervision
possibly
for
many
years
until
philosophy
of
Bis-mark
and
Naziism
is
completely
eradicated.
It
is
not
the
purpose
of
the
war,
however,
to
wipe
Germany
completely
off
the
map
as
a
nation.
Peace
will
never
be
brought
to
the
world
by
that
sort
of
practice.
We
will
still
have
to
Jive
and
let
live.
Chinese
Getting
Together
.
.
.
The
political
news
from
China
is
more
encouraging.
Generalissimo
Chiang
Kai-Shek
lias
relinquished
the
Premiership
and
will
devote
himself
entirely
to
fighting
the
Japanese.
Foreign
Minister
T.
V.
Soong,
who
is
reported
to
be
on
friendly
terms
with
the
Communists,
becomes
Premier.
Things
have
not
been
going
so
well
in
south
China
of
late
and
it
has
been
said
that
if
the
Communist
armies
of
the
nation,
great
fighters
and
well
trained,
were
brought
into
battle,
it
might
do
much
to
offset
the
new
Japanese
offensive
towards
Chungking
which
has
been
meeting
with
consider-
able
success
of
late.
These
new
political
events
would
indicate
that
there
is
to
be
a
definite
and
more
effective
co-operation
between
the
factions
of
Chinese
forces
which
have
so
far
not
been

New
Fishermen's
Floats
...
:
Terrace
Meeting
It
is
good
news
that
the
contract
for
the
new
fishermen's
floats
here
has
been
awarded
and
that
the
contractors
will
soon
be
starting
work.
It
is
to
be.
hoped
that
as
little
time
as
possible
will
be
lost
in
getting
the
job
done
so
that
we
may
be
able
to
offer
the
fishing
fleet
adequate
and
suitable
moorage
accommodation,
lack
of
which
is
blamed
for
having
driven
a
large
portion
of
the
fleet
away
during
the
past
couple
of
years.
One
of
the
items
of
post-war
rehabilitation
at
Prince
Rupert
will
be
the
recovery
of
the
fishing
fleet
for
the
port
and
the
building
of
the
new
fishermen's
floats
is
one
of
the
first
and
most
important
steps
towards
bringing
about
that
recovery.
What
About
Reserve
Army?
.
.
.
What
is
to
be
the
disposition
of
Canada's
Reserve
Army,
which
is
some-
j
what
of
a
parallel
to
the
British
Home
Guards,
is
a
question
of
direct
interest
in
such,
places
as
Prince
Rupert
where
there
is
an
active
reserve
unit.
Possibly,
the
circumstances
in
Canada
may
be
regarded
as
different
to
those
in
the
Old
Land.
The
war
may
be
considered
nearly
over
in
Europe
with
the
;
defeat
of
the
principal
enemy
there
only
a
matter
of
months.
Here
in
Canada
our
principal
enemy
has
still
to
be
beaten
and
the
new
move
of
shipping
all
our
fit
and
trained
young
men
overseas
as
reinforcements
whether
they
like
it
or
not
may
be
considered
as
imposing
even
more
responsibility
on
the
Reserve
Army
for
manning
the
hbme
guns.
Then
also
the
Reserve
Army,
consisting
of
the
older
and
the
younger
men
at
present,
may
be
considered
as
a
sort
of
retaining
militia
force
pending
the
return
home
of
the
real
fighting
men.
Others
may
feel
that,
since
there
is
little
danger
now
of
an
actual
invasion
of
Canada,
the
Reserve
Army's
primary
purpose
is
largely
removed.
It
shall
be
interesting
to
see
what
Ottawa's
policy,
about
to
be
announced,
will
be.
Mr.
Howe
is
hardly
polite
to
his
'
former
colleague,
Mr.
Ralston,
when
he
says
that
conscription
is
a
"political
question."

Bruce
Mickleburgh,
Labor-Progressive
candidate
for
Skeena,
told
a
meeting
of
party
members
at
Terrace
Sunday.
Mr.
Mickleburgh
said
that
he
had
come
to
Terrace
to
appeal
i
in
public
meeting
to
Home
Defence
troops
to
"go
active"
but
that
the
meeting
had
been
can
celled
at
the
request
of
military
authorities
who
felt
that,
since
military
unrest
in
the
district
had
only
recently
calmed
down,
such
a
meeting
might
be
used
by
trouble-makers
to
bring
about
a
disturbance.
1he
closed
meeting,
which
was
under
the
chairmanship
of
Joe
;
Kelly,
with
John
Stadlne
as
sec-
'
retary,
passed
a
motion
that
a
telegram
be
sent
to
Olof
Hanson,
M.P.,
urging
that
he
support
the
government
in
a
vote
of
confidence
motion,
so
that
a
general
election
might
not
be
precipitated
at
this
stage
of
the
war.

LETTERBOX
BUS
DEAL
EXPLAINED
Editor,
Daily
News:
In
response
to
numerous
requests
to
know
the
reasons
for
the
proposed
acquisition
of
the
LArrow
Bus
Line
by
the
City
of
Prince
Rupert
the
following
U
an
explanation:
Owing
to
the
fact
that
government
regulations
now
in
effect
prohibit
the
starting
of
new
transportation
systems
it
would
be
impossible
to
start
a
municipal
bus
system
in
Prince
Rupert
without
purchasing
the
exiting
system.
Therefore,
this
committee
has
negotiated
for
and
obtained
an
option
to
purchase
the
Arrow
Bus
Lines
as
set
out
In
the
by-law
to
be
voted
on
on
December
14.
The
option
Is
for
the
sum
of
i20,G00.
This
was
arrived
at
after
lengthy
negotiations
and
careful
consideration
by
the
Committee
and
the
City
Council.
The
government
ceiling
price
for
the
bus
Ls
$12,503.17.
By.
placing
a
valuation
of
$4,000
on
the
lots
and
garage
the
committee
considered
it
from
a
replacement
value
and
Its
worth
to
the
City
at
this
time
for
the
maintenance
and
servicing
of
other
city
equipment.
Also
.included
is
$1,000
for
spare
engines,
tires,
chains,
gaso-
,
line
pump,
etc.
.
'
In
addition
to
the
foregoing
it
was
decided
to
allow
a
fur-
:
tlier
sum
of
$2,490.83
to
partially
compensate
the
owner
for
the
loss
of
a
profitable
business.
