Nevertheless, there must.be some considerable speculation ' as to why the Soviet newspaper Pravda, usually inclined to be conservative in its statements, particu-laryl in regard to diplomatic matters, should have printed a report suecestine that British representa tives had conferred in Spain with the German for-! .eign minister on the subject of a separate peace. j newspaper also piayeu nown me report oy jmiung ii I1 inconspicuously on the back page. Nevertheless, it has received a good deal of play throughout the world and particularly on the Russian radio. No doubt there was some propaganda purpose for-the publication of the report but just what the object may have been appears obscure for the mo ment If it had been published in enemy quarters we j would immediately have dismissed it as being deliberately manufactured to cause distrust between the Allies. Meanwhile we are assured in official quarters that there is no truth whatever to the report and Lord Halifax goes so far as to say that "people who believe it will believe anything." Still we are at loss to know why Pravda sent up such a kite. The proposed establishment of a commercial air line between Vancouver and Prince Rupert, as 'announced Monday, will bring us much more up-to-date in the matter of transportation. It is a service the : instituting of which has already been unduly de layed. As a resutl of the establishment of this link, Prince Rupert will be connected with air lines north, ! east and south and will have direct contact with the air lines which are now transcontinental and, as : soon as the war is over, will be transoceanic and globe-girdling. , The new service is one that will benefit and af-I feet us all whether it be to travel,, to use for mail I purposes or for the delivery of our goods. In making announcement of the intention to start ( this service, Grant McConachie, manager of the Can-j adian Pacific Air Lines, comments that it will reduce the travelling time between Vancouver and Prince Rupert from 36 to four hours. I Of course, until we have a landing field here air . service in and out of Prince Rupert cannot be fully complete, buch a field would make is possible for us j,to leave Prince Rupert early one morning and be in Montreal or New York early the next morning or in 'tess than 24 hours' time. And, after the war is overawe would be able to take a commercial plane in Prince Rupert this morning and be in London early tomorrow afternoon. Then there will be the trans-, Pacific air routes which will take us in a couple of days or so to China or Japan or in three or four days ! to Australia' or India. And, by the transPolar route, , we shall leave here today and be in Moscow Thursday at the latest. It is gratifying and interesting to think of the effects of Prince Rupert at last getting on the air map, a satisfactory step towards which will be the establishment of the Vancouver service and plans attendant thereto.
