Saturday, September 23, 1941 EDITORIAL MAY BE NO ARMISTICE ... Among some observers the view is held that there will not this time be any formal armistice with the German forces such as brought the fighting to a close in the last war. This school of thought holds that, as the Allies have proclaimed that nothing but unconditional surrender will be accepted, there is no ground for armistice negotiations. Instead General Eisenhower's armies and those of our Russian Allies will march or fight their way into Germany for the purpose of occupying and administering the whole country. Under this steady ii i i it xt 1 ; assault, it is arguea, tne iNazis win surrenuer as individuals or by battalions or corps or armies just as they have already been doing in France and in the east. It is not impossible that that will be the program. Such a procedure would emphasize to the German nation the thoroughness of its defeat. There could not afterwards be any claim put forward, as was done after 1918, that the armies of the Reich were not beaten in the field. More than that it would leave the United Nations free to cany forward a program of reconstruction without being in any way hampered by the supposed obligations of an armistice. C.C.F. GOVERNMENT NEWSPAPERS . . . It is not taking the new C.C.F. government of Saskatchewan long to get into the newspaper business, doubtless as part of the program of taking over the public utilities of the country a program hand in hand with which we are now informed private enterprise is to go. The Saskatchewan government's venture into the newspaper business, we are told, is confined for the present to the rural areas so that the poor and unenlightened people there shall know what the government is doing. Of course, there shall be nothing in the way of dissemination of C.C.F. political ideas. . Perish the thought ! Only the wicked old political I parties could ever be guilty of conniving -at such rascality. Once the publicly sponsored and financed C.C.F. countiy newspapers in Saskatchewan are safely launched, no doubt it will be found necessary to establish city newspapers to defend the government if not to spread the good political gospel. At least the C.C.F. government newspapers in Saskatchewan should have better going financially than some of the supposedly Liberal and vConserva- tive government sponsored newspapers have enjoyed even if they will not be permitted the same rugged freedom of expression as the nefarious capitalistic press somehow manages to manifest. MUST MEET RAILWAY NEEDS . . . The opening of the Skeena Highway connecting Prince Rupert with the interior of the province focuses attention of British Columbians upon the problems of transportation in the vast empire which is theirs, says the Vancouver Sun. They are entitled to ask even though the war is not yet over what the governments in Victoria and Ottawa are doing about that Peace River rail outlet, which, we are told, will open to exploitation and settlement some of the richest mineral, timber and agricultural lands on the continent. Empires are built on highways. Rome's roads, which have outlasted centuries, made nossible the Roman Empire. Britain's highways were on the sea and still are, very largely. Today, as they have been for decades, roads and railroads are British Columbia's biggest desire and need. We believe it is revealing no secret to say that Premier Hart's government has been for some time trying to persuade the two major railways that it is high time they extended their iointlv-onerated northern Alberta line into British Columbia and con necting it up with existing rail lines in the interior of this province. With or without the co-operation of the major i an ways, rriuBii oiumuia must pian now lor a railway cutting across the heart of the central interior, utilizing the Pacific Great Eastern and connecting it with the Peace River block. The billions of t6ns of good coal in the Peace River alone would justify the expense. And in addition we would be opening new and potentially plenteous land for agriculture, oil deposits, timber and mineral-bearing areas of great value. The plan of post-war development in the north which is implicit in the provincial government's generous gift of a million acres of land for soldier settlement can be supported only by a railroad.

To lead a company across an unliriilged river against tlie concentrated fire of a pitiless enemy utul to tlrivs that enemy out of his trenches, is certainly an uct of t ool bravery. To brace yourself for the inevitable counter charge and to shatter two such attacks is another. To persouully rescue a section of your foice which lias been pinned down by accurate and deadly fire is a third. And finally, to fclug forward when thrice wounded and by word, deed and gesture inspire exhausted comrades to a fighting fury beyond their strength is truly the battle conduct of a hero. All of tliis, and more, was achieved by Major John Kecfer Mahony, a peace-time reporter, when Ids company of the New Westminster regiment . . . his home town . . . crossed Italy's speedy .Mel fa River on the 21th of May. ' For the Major it meant the acclaim of his countrymen and the highest military uwunl within the gift of u grateful Empire . . . the Victoria Cross. In men, Muhony's company was outnumbered two to one. In guns be was outnumbered six to one, or more. In position there was no comparison because Mahony's men had to light their way across open water in full view of confident and ruthless defenders. Throughout the crossing, the diggiug-iii -and the counter-attack, Mahony ordered his men to focus their fire on enemy guns. German soldiers were dangerous, of course. Hut guns were the real peril and every Nazi gun was eventuully knocked out by lesser weaons in the hands of Canadian soldiers who couldn't be beaten, because they wouldn't be beaten. They, crossed the river, took the bank, dug defensive posts, stood off two strong attacks, then held for five hours alone, and when reinforced, moved forward to new triumphs. Well done, Westminster; well done, Mahony! Four Fronts for the Finish: 'Festung Europa" faces attack from all directions as the Allied armies of liberation advance to smash the forces of Fascism.
