The freedom with which Prime Minister Winston Churchill pays tribute on every appropriate occasion to the magnificent fight our American and Russian allies are nuttimr ud in the war is a good example to those "of us who may be credit is uue m mis respect, it is no u uu jjai.iiuu?iu ; ". am ltUi. ma-tor world to en-ien wm also a guest at a any of us in the present emergency Je deavour to delude ourselves or others .that, without I XTtf! the United States and Russia, we British would not jof tne mack rg Here a myth. long ere this have been in a serious position. icai Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins i General Montgomery describes the war as thei'hink that was their name-4- t r, ,.,,.i,t Uo n.-ar. l.n n nnrl wprc mne t and hostess and Bicaiwu iuk;ui-i wic that we shall win provided an pun meir weignt. u is not pulling our weight or encouraging the other fellow to pull his if we waste our talk or thought on "diminishing credits because of feelings of our own question is one, indeed, l and with my mind stm back on 7 . 7. for we must all admit j fi?

This that is unworthy of discussion that, to say the least of it, Derate situation for us. The saying "united we wnc nrnVinhlv novpr mnm day and it is nauseating to hear the commentary of j some of out' people who sound like they would rather j lose the fight to the enemy than be constrained to admit that we had to have assistance to beat him. Here in international Prince Rupert we should be getting away from such ideas. The quicker we all get together in spirit as well as in effort the quicker will the nasty business be over. Surely there are few who would defer the victory by bickering over the honors. Principle or Interest? . . . It has been truly said that victory by arms in war ; would be futile if, in winning that victory, we should" lose the principles for which we fight if, after the war is over, we should have found that our morality ' and our decency is gone and that, having beaten the common enemy, we should be enemies among our- selves enemies because of the persistence of con-, siderations of self-interest ovr considerations of the common weal. Probably there is no greater element of insidious sabotage among us on our side than that of our own 'elfish interests. . It might be interesting to search ourselves and consider what each one of us would do if it came to . a direct choice between principle arid self-interest. : How would we react if really put to the acid test? We have seen how our fighting men have faced and are facing up to this issue. Are all of us on the home front as noble and as self-sacrificing in what we are pleased to call our war effort? Are all of us giving due consideration to the principles?

The big news of war continues, of course, to come from the Russo-German front where German dikes in the Ukraine, so long held, have given way and the whole area is in a state of collapse, with nobody quite sure how far the Soviets will advance. They have now passed the Dniester and have reached borders of Rumania proper at the Prut River. They may even get farther before mud stops them though the Germans quite probably intend to hold along the Bug. The communiques from Berlin suggest that river as the r:ajor defence line, but Marshal Zhukov and the first Ukrainian army group have penetrated so deep Yinto Poland that they are coming down toward that driver near its headwaters where it is not a major defence line. The gains are great and obvious. Germany loses one of her greatest sources of alloy metals. She loses a food-producing area she has held for more than two years and without- which there are going to be a1 lot of hungry people in the fortress Eurone perhaps even hungry Germans, although there have been few of these as vet. She now has the war on the threshold of the Balkans uuib ui lusing ner suoject aines. jne has two long, sensitive fronts (the Adriatic is the other) penetration of which at any point will endanger a considerable number of German troops. Along one of these fronts at least she will be faced by a veteran and victorious army, the most dangerous thing in war.

' LETTERBOX STATEMENT BY CHINESE i At a recent meeting of the Chinese Patriotic Association of Prince Rupert, attention was given the notice appearing in a local window to the effect that no Asiatics were employed. In this connection, we wish to say: 1. It Is unfortunate, particularly in the very midst of a war to raise a racial issue among the United Nations. We would like to emphasize this there are no Japanese or Hindus In Prince Rupert. Therefore, what was alluded to must have meant the Chinese. We should also like to point out that for years before the present struggle began China was engaged In a death struggle with Japan, continuing i since then to the present mom- I ent. It Is only to speak the truth to say that both Canada and the United States, prior to 1939, were selling oil, nickel and scrap iron to Japan. China gave a warning then, saying that vhat China was Canada and the United States would be on the morrow. i WUhelm, during the years he j ruled as Kaiser of Germany,' liked to talk about the yellow peril. It was a favnrlfj tnhtert with him. He envisaged Tsfa Jenl gulfing the white people. But, we are confident the great white nations, with whom we ate fighting shoulder to shoulder would not be so foolish and short sighted as to give any credence to what the late Kaher once discussed. The only peril today is the Hitler peril. We all know this is not a ra'al war but a battle to preserve human freedom, and to overthrow the mad lust for nothing less than ! universal power THE CHINESE PATRIOTIC ASSOSIATION, Wong Chick Tan, j Secretary. j LONDCtf WATER SUPPLY LOW LONDON.
