Y "In this hour of rejoicing' the Al-; :-'.:Jied peoples have double cause to re-. main alert, warns The Christian .Science Monitor. We dare not allow our assurance of victory to hide the dangers latent in Japanese views .of it. Believing we have obtained "unconditional surrender," we shall "' '-only at our peril fail to note the ways in which, Japan has not surrendered. . . . . .It has not given up false pride. JThjeuTokyd" radio is saying that the Japanese have been "defeated but - not beaten." It is boasting that "what we have accomplished in the war is something unprecedented." ...And the Emperor in his statement to " the people reached an all-time high (or low) in understatement: "The " " war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage." 1 It is easy to smile at this as face-saving and say: "Let them have it -There is no harm In it so long as we can disarm them." But let us re-... .member' that Hitler based his drive VT6r German resurgence on the fallacy that, Germany never was beaten Vm-!1918. Japan has not surrendered self-righteous hypocrisy. Listen to Hiro-hito's words: "We declared war" 'i(the declaration was treacherously retimed to follow attack) to "insure .Japan's self-preservation" (they i Vreally believe that) and "the establishment of East Asia" (establish-: ment is a nicer word than conquest). He has the effrontery to add: "It was - far. from 6ur thought either to in-1 fringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to embark upon territorial Aggrandizement." ' i We can smile again and remember, that all nations have tried to t I 'TU t i yl Word about Priorities to Servicemen. . . We are "Ready for Action" at Watts & Nickerson's to give you the best and speediest service that we know1 how. I ! Three to four weeks' Service on Special-Measure Orders with your Priority Certificate. . . . A Word to Our Civilian Customers. The Armed Forces come first when It comes to suits. We are endeavoring to fulfill. a-service to the entire community, but' ask your forebearance If we are unable' 'to ''supply you with your needs " as and when you want 'em. THE MEN'S SHOP make aggrandizement sound like something else. But repentance is the first step in reform. Such blatant denial of guilt is the plainest sign that reform has not begun. The Japanese have not given up the ineffable, but vicious, make-believe about the Emperor's divinity. Witness the Domei broadcast describing the people, "honored with the Imperial edict in the sublime palace grounds," scraping and bowing, begging the Emperior to forgive them because their "efforts were not enough." He urges faith in the im-perishableness of their "divine land." Let us remember that emperor-worship focuses the fanaticism and superstition which has supported Japanese militarism. Then let us note that the Japanese have not in their own eyes surrendered their emperor. Hirohito puts it baldly this way: "Having been able to save and maintain the structure of the Imperial state, we are always with ye, our good and loyal subjects." Japan has not surrendered plain and fancy face-saving prevarication. Would it be too fantastic- for the Emperor now to hide his approaching role as the Allies' messenger-boy by requesting the attendance and advice of "Shogun MacArthur"? We cannot afford to pass all this off merely as-the peculiar Japanese way of adjusting themselves to unpleasant facts. At the least we should make sure there is adjustment to the facts, not a continual denial of them. According to Hirohito this is the Japanese view of our victory: Japan sought no conquest but onlv the "emancipation of East Asia." Things went badly not apparently through any failure of any Japanese but there will be another time to try. Japan stops now because her enemies have used a "most cruel bomb" and humanitarian Japan wants to prevent "the total extinction of human civilization." This may be face-saving. But it is also arrogant, impenitent lying. We should not let it trick us into hatred. But-we should see that as' a foundation for peace it is quicksand. yrrTTTMTtfvfft?fTTHMTMTTtfTV?TTTTTTTTTTT t JScrve Yourself . . . CLEARANCE SALE . . . of . . .

LETTERBOX JOB FOR ME5IBER Editor, Daily News: As f have no Job, no government jcb, no old age pension, no unemployment Insurance, no compensation, no baby bonus, I am well, "the devil finds mischief for idle hands," or some-thins. I woke up this morning and I got to thinking about things and things. I would like to do something about them; but it seems hopeless. What can- r do after the mess made by our great statesmen? Now that we have a C.C.F. M.P. why not pass the buck to him? Now, Mr. Archibald, we believe it is customary for all newly elected representatives of 'the people, as soon as elected, to see how many of their supporters can be found a soft job; Then, if the people are good, they may secure a dole for some needed project out of their own money. However, you must not do such things, because you do not want to be classed with our great statesmen, do you? We should have had the Alaska Highway but someone beat us out oi mat. we would not know ir Vancouver was concerned but they are doing all they can at present to divert the Hazelton project and the Peace River outlet to Vancouver. You musA recti' fy all the mistakes of the nast and also see that we get the Haz-elton route and the Peace River outlet into Rupert which is its logical and proper setting. We do not understand the ex act set-up re the Skeena High way but do know that, if possible, it will be scrapped In the inter ests of someone who wants to steal everything the north has a right to. It is asking 'quite a lot of vou to rectify all the mistakes of the past and to compete with all our great statesmen on snort: notice out ir you can do it, with no cooperation,, possibly VOu will eet your reward in the next world if nor in this" one. Now that we have-disDOsed of the past 25 years of brilliant his tory, we will look ahead a' bit. What is to become of the mili tary and air installations which are along the streak of rust called the CNJl. between Prince George and Prince Rupert? Will iney De sold; to some racketeer, burned, or shlDDed to the. Door folks in Europe? The buildings, hospitals, power plants, etc., at Smithers and Terrace should not be removed from the district as they are needed at both those towns. Anv surplus y Section of the enormous plant of the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Part cf the gigantic atomic bomb project. will be gladly purchased by local people who are unable to build anything for themselves because most of it is going to Europe. This stuff belongs to us, and we have, paid plenty for it and what should be done to anyone taking it away would not be nice, if they got their deserts. Of course it will be impossible to send our airfields to Europe but they have been known to do some asinine things and they might even give it to the poor C.P.R.. In fact they give anything away, except to 'the poor Canadians: See how generous they were to the Japs, shipping them iron, nickel, copper and rubber, so as not to hurt the feelings of the poor little Japs but what do they care about the feelings of the poor Canadian boobs' whd stand for it all? We need power, water and Sewers' in Smithers. Are we going to let someone take- away anything now here that will be of assistance to us? If there Is anything on these airfields that are needed here, they should be left here for us. The same applies to Terrace and many other places.. What Is to .be done about those landing fields and direction finders between Prince George and Prince Rupert? Just why should Rupert, Terrace or Smithers have to travel on the slow train down to Prince George before we can take a plane to the outside world? Right now we are in about the VANDERHOOF MAN INJURED Walter Angly in Hospital With Skull Injuries VANDERHOOF, Aug. 28-Wal-ter Angly, assistant provincial forest ranger, is in hospital here unconscious from skull injuries resulting from a motor accident in which his light truck collided with a car driven by Wilbur Er-win of Fort Fraser on the highway near Fort Fraser Sunday night. A native of Fort Fraser riding with Angly received minor head injuries. Erwln was uninjured. The accident occurred when Angly, who had been directing fire fighting operations at a forest fire north ot Fraser Lake, was driving to the village to secure more assistance late Sunday evening. He was taken to Fraser Lake where he received first aid treatment from Dr. S. P. Finlay, then brought to Vanderhoof. same class as were .the Eskimos and Indians of the N. W. Territories before the war as regards plane service. Well, Mr. Archibald, we don't expect much. Just straighten out and clean up'the mess of the past 25 years and fix up these few 1 things and we will call it a day. ' ZOMBIE.
