The
first
move
of
a
dictatorship
when
it
lias
power
to
control
is
to
throttle
the
press
or
make
it
do
its
bidding.
It
was
so
in
Germany
aijd
Italy
and
Japan.
Freedom
of
the
press
is
a
safeguard
against
tyrannic
and
unwise
leadership
which
might
lead
to
war.
.
As
a
democratic
nation
prizing
press
freedom,
Canada
should
favor
writing
world-wide
freedom
of
the
press
into
the
peace
treaties.
,
Canadian
journalism
in
general,
for
its
part,
will
not
doubt
welcome
and
approve
the
stand
taken
in
this
connection
by
The
Canadian
Press
hews
service.
At
a
recent
meeting
in
Vancouver,
the
Canadian
Press
Board
passed
this
resolution:
That
this
Board
express
its
belief
in
the
world-wide
right
of
in-"terchange
of
news
by
news
gathering
and
distributing
agencies,
whether
"individual
or
associate,
and
in
the
right
of
free
access
to
news
sources
'
by
any
newspaper
of
any
country;
and
that
these
rights
should
be
pro-
tected
by
international
compact.
This
expression
which
parallels
the
recent
stand
of
the
United
States
Congress,
should
commend
itself
to
every
Canadian
newspaperman.
There
can
be
no
disagreement
in
the
world's
democracies
with
the
principle,
long
enunciated
by
Kent
Cooper,
executive
director
of
The
Associated
Press,
that-freedom
of
news
is.
a
foundation
stone
of
world
peace.
We
understand
that
a
copy
of
the
Canadian
Press
resolution
was
forwarded
to
the
Government
of
Canada.
It
is
to
be
hoped
that
Canada's
political
par.tfes
will
whole-heartedly
'
endorse
this
view
and
that
a
unanimous
Parliament
will
place
itself
definitely
'on
record
in
support
of
this
basic
and
vital
democratic
right.
Municipal
Election
Affairs
.
.
.
A
municipal
election
in
Prince
Rupert
may
not
be
rated
as
an
event
of
world-shaking
importance.
Yet
it
is
something
that
is
worthy
of
a
good
.modicum
of
interest
of
the
people
who
reside,
here.
Two
weeks
from
today
the
election
will
t
be
held.
Two
organized
groups
:are
offering
candidates
for
the
preferences
of
the
people.
During
the
course
of
what
is
expected
to
be
an
active
fortnight's
campaign,
the
platforms
of
the
two
sides
will
be
vigorously
presented
to
the
electors.
The
primary
purpose
of
the
voting
is,
of
course,
to
elect
a
personnel
to
carry
on
the
important
business
of
the
city
during
the
coming
year,
which
will
no
doubt
see

phases
of

tion.
The
campaign
will,
it
is
to
be
hoped,
serve
in
stirring
up
an
interest
in
civic
affairs
which
have
so
far
commanded
a
deplorable
lack
of
attention
and
support
on
the
part
of
the
people
concerned
these
people
being
all
those
who
have
their
homes
and
interests
here.
It
is
to
be
hoped
that
there
will
be
a
free
and
full
discussion
and
a
full
and
representative
vote
on
the
day
of
polling.
Prospectors
Wanted
.
.
.
If
Canada's
established
position
in
world
mining
is
to
be
maintained,
there.must
bo
more
positive
encouragement
of
prospecting.
Greater
rewards
must
be
offered
to
prospectors,
government
tax
and
other
regulations
'must
be
revised
to
give
them
more
liberal
treatment,
increased
aid
and
support
must
be
forthcoming
from
governmental
agencies,
mining
companies
and
individuals,
and
the
encouragement
of
prospecting
should
be
a
part
of
the
rehabilitation
program
for
returned
service
men.
It
is
not
generally
realized,
how
few
prospectors
are
in
the
field.
From
information
at
hand
it
is
probable
that
not
more
than
a
few
hundred
were
in
the
field
throughout
Canada
last
season,
and
these,
mostly
older
men,
represented
practically
all
the"
available
prospectors.
Many
of
the
successful
prospec.to.rs
have
made
their
stake
and
have
retired
but,
unfortunately,
they
did
not
train
younger
men
to
take
their
places,
nor
have
they
stressed
to
youths
this
national
necessity
or
the
opportunities
that.
the
occupation
offers.
Basically
the
motive
and
driving
force
that,
pushes
a
man
into
the
hardships
of
prospecting
are
the
chances
of
onebig
stake.
It
should
be
perfectly
clear,
therefore,
that
if
prospectors
are
to
be
hired
or
financed
by
the
large
mining
companies
they
must
be
assured
of
a
substantial
reward.
The
exact
.amount
or
the
method
of
navinrr
re
muneration
can,
of
course,
be
subject
to
negotiation,
but
the
participation
-must
be
substantial.
The
return
of
men
from
the
armed
forces
and
from
overseas
should
afford
an
excellent
opportunity
to
inject
new
blood
into
prospecting.
The
problem
will
be
to
secure
the
right
men,
'train
them
for
the
job
and
make
the
goal
sufficiently
attractive
by
offering
u
real
incentive.
To
expedite
and
direct
the
returning
young
men
into
the
business,
the
initiation
of
a
well
organized
educational
program
proposed
by
the
Prospectors

Association,
backed
by

departments,
aided
financially
by
the
mining
companies
both

and
small,
and
helped
by
any
other
organization,
would
be
in
order.
