PAQB TWO THE DAILY NEWS FKIXCE RlirERT, BRITISH COLUMBIA Published Every Afternoon Except Sunday by Prince Rupert Daily News limited, Third Avenue a. A. HUNTER. MANAGING EDITOR DAILY EDITION Wednesday. February 2, 1944 Speech From The Throne ... Couched in the assumption which is general but accepted with reserve that the war is approaching a victorious consummation and that it is now high time to be making active preparations to meet the important problems of the postwar period, the Speech from the Throne, presented at the opening of the British Columbia Legislature yesterday afternoon, offers a program of aims as ambitious and comprehensive as has been brought forth in Victoria for many a year. Postwar rehabilitation a'nd construction plans form the keynote and principal burden of the Speech but other important matters such as taxation relief, industrial development, public works, educational improvements and social betterment are not overlooked. Impressed with the need for positive planning, the coalition government admits the necessity of setting teeth into some big problems with a view to being ready for definite action when the opportunity and necessity arise. The Speech indicates a full appreciation by the government of the major problems which may soon confront this province. As the session proceeds we will, doubtless, be informed further as to definite and practical lines of action contemplated by the government These and the reactions of the members of the House and the public will be followed with interest. The difference between "dam" and "damn" is that the former retains pressure; the latter relieves it. Russian Commonwealth . . . Soviet Russia has decided to follow the pattern of the British Commonwealth of Nations in conferring upon its sixteen constituent republics wide privileges of autonomy. The plan, as announced by Foreign Commissar Molotov in the Soviet Parliament, is to grant each of these republics freedom of action similar to that which the Dominions of the Commonwealth now enjoy. So, while we begin to see virtue in some of the Soviet principles and methods, Russia also finds pages to take from our book. It is interesting to speculate on what effect the latest move may have on mutual relations during the war and in the days of peace to follow when there may conceivably arise problems that will deeply tax international He is a rare man who won't pick up a girl who falls for him. The Kernel of the Matter . . . Speaking before a local service club a few days ago, the Skeena coalitionist member of the legislature, reported rather fully in the Daily News yesterday on the subject of free private enterprise, injected popular principles and aims into his expression of ideas as to what the postwar world will have to be like. He went deeper than mere talk of the virtues of one system as against another but delved into the fundamentals and arrived at the kernel called human nature which, if properly controlled and kept within due bounds, could make the world a better place under any system. Even socialism would not be able to repress individualism so it is reasonable that Mr. Kenney should tell us that, no matter what form of governmental system we may have, it will be afflicted with the same ills if those who conduct it place undue self-interest before fair play to their neighbors. It has not been hown yet that mechanical socialism would be any more immune to individualistic abuses than is .the much maligned capitalism. It's a great pity that history didn't acquire a repertoire of greater variety and considerably better quality befo: a it began repeating itself.

Daily News: May we use the space of your paper to correct a wrong impression that may be created, particularly among the organized workers, from remarks made by A. McAuslane, at a meeting of the Civic Labor Federation. Sunday evening. I.e.: "Attention would also be given to organization In some other spheres including the co-opera-ative organizations where Mr. McAuslane said) there had been some change in the attitude of the management ..." The writer and the vice-presl-ident of the Prince Rupert Fishermen's Co-operative Association paid Mr. McAuslane a visit on Monday on the matter and he admitted some statement based on rumor regarding the attitude of the Co-operative management to the Prince Rupert Industrial Workers' Union. The statement is utterly un true, the facU are as follows: On November 12. 1943, a delegation of store workers from the Prince Rupert Industrial Workers' Union met the board of the association and requested that their union be recognized by the association as the legal bargaining agent for the unorganized employees of the EYESTRAIN DAYS ARE ST1U WITH OSl association. A resolution was passed in the presence of the committee accepUng the union as legal bargaining agent of the unorganized workers of the association. The board pointed out to the committee or delegation, very emphatically, that the association recognized the union oa the understanding that they represented this class of worker in the city and that thry would proceed immediately to organize the remaining unorganized workers of this class. Outside a request on the part of the board for the union views on time off for sick leave, there have not been any negoUaUons whatsoever between the union and the board and, as far as we are concerned the' Prince Rupert Industrial Workers' Union, is still the bargaining agent for the unorganized workers of the Co-operative. Co-operation Is a workers' organization. It desires to have its workers organized in labor unions but It wants these labor unions to be the same ones that have organized the workers of private business. We have no Interest whatsoever in company unions. The sole objective of the Co-operative movement Is the elevation of the .standard of living of all people. At all times the Co-operatives are willing and do give their workers better than union requirements. Protect your Sight with Proper Light!

THE DAILY NEWS WEDNESDAY FEBRPARy l A combination of young Canadians and on an Ice rink usually works itself out Into a game of hockey, no matter where the locale or what the conditions. All of which leads up to word from Sweden that a few Canadian airmen, interned thete after crash landings and things, banded together with some Royal Air Forcv lads and a couple of Swedish players and -were trounced 7-0 by an all-Swedish team. However, it wasnt as bad as it sounds. The air team, captained by FO. Peter Davles of Montreal, was handicapped through Illness of some of the Canadians and through lack of training. The game was played at Falum, near where the airmen are interned, and attracted a mob of Swedish spotts writers who agreed that in another month and with a full team, the airmen would "bo "dangerous for any club in Sweden." When two Royal Air Force stations clashed In a rugger trophy competition In Britain each team boasted one Canadian. On one s'de was Lieut. Ian Bell -Irvine of Vancouver, nephew f Orovp Capt BelJ-Irvine, command tog officer of the RCA F. station a Trenton, Ont.. member of the Sea forth Highlanders. Bell-Irnne i. attached tb the air station as liaison officer. He learned rugger but it must have the protection of the unions to force competitive private business to gtre the same standards.

General Manager-Sec re tar)" WORK STOPPAGE Regarding the proposal tor a one-day stoppage of work at the local shipyard in protest at P.C 9384. it should be made clear that the Labor Council has no authority to say there will be a stoppage of work. The decision for such an action must come from the majority of workers in the unions. The Labor Council Is a policy-forming com mlttee of deleaates from all organizations affiliated with the C.C. of L. The Prince Rupert Labor Council endorsed, by a motion from the floor, the stand of the Victoria, Vancouver, and Win nlpeg Labor Councils, In advocating a day's stoppage of work In prptest against the order-In council, an order which places the strongest restrictions yet made upon Labor.
