With the good British ship Smar-kand jjow in port to load a full cargo of wheat from the local elevator for delivery to India and two or three Russian vessels . coming within a month to take on similar full grain cargoes for the Soviet Republic, a new era In the use of Prince Rupert for transpacific shipping may be commencing. Possibly this may only be tha start of a better utilization, which; has long been its due, of Can-ada's,.;most strategic Pacific port. We may reasonably assume that, with ,,the removal of the old, new gram; will soon start moving into the local elevator. With peace again, restoifcd to the world, whose principal cry is for food as rapidly delivery! as possible, it is. to be hoped' the gram will be handled with dispatch'; and kept rolling this, way to the countries of the East which are so badjy in need of it. And, while we are handling " grain, we whould be doing well to really explore the possibilities of developing mixed cargoes of various products With the assembling and shipping of these we will become really established as the world shipping port we have so long envisioned for ourselves. The- Sports Reconversion . . . Fffi; the past several war years sports-and athletics in Prince, Rupert haye-beeri dominated by the men in unifoii. Now the forces are moving out, It wijl be pivilian athletics in Prince Rupert again. There will be a lot of organizing and co-ordinating to do' It occurs to us that, when we go about the business of organizing our Competitive - sports again it might-'be well to consider the idea of doing.'.jt along'concerted lines. How aboutv the formation of a central athletic association under the aegis of which all the lines of sports would be governed rather than having each type of sport organized separately and operating some times at inefficient cross-purposes with no general-' effort and understanding? In addition to the activities, there will t also most likely be various properties available for the playing of sport's, both inside and outside. . Possibly, the time might now be opportune, with outdoor sports season ended and indoor sports yet to be organized,, to call a general meeting of the sports people of the town with the. idea of surveying the future .possibilities and organizing for the most effective operation. There may ;be quite a big job which could be better done by everybody getting together, each knowing what the otheris doing and being of mutual assistance. Labor Government and Strikes Evidently the Labor government of Great Britain is not going to take any chances of strikes in that country getting out of hand as they appear in danger of doing here in. Canada and the United States. Some weeks ago Prime Minister Clement Attlee frankly told his people that they- were in for more days of hard work and that no immediate improvement in economic conditions could be anticipated. , v Notwithstanding, the Premier's warnings, the dock workers went on strike in demand for easier working conditions. Now the British government, a couple of days after the strike started, has turned the army on to the docks to do work of the striking freight handlers so that there may be no further embarrassment of an already critical food situation. It will be interesting to observe whether the British Labor government's prompt action in endeavouring to squelch the strike situation will have more. effective results, than, the disposition of Canadian and American authorities to temporize and compromise. No Sympathy For Laval ... There is no. sympathy to be heard for Pierre Laval, the arch traitor of France, and the sooner he is liquidated in execution of the sentence of death the better satisfied, it seems, will the most of people be. As was rightly enough said, the name of Laval has become, synony-mousvwith the insidious word collaboration. He was as despicable as any of the Nazis and was the more foul in that he betrayed his. own nation and his own countrymen. Get Out and Vote The Junior Section of the Prince Rupert Chamber- of Commerce is again instituting a "Get Out the Vote" campaign in connection with the forthcoming provincial election and is to be commended". for; so doing. It is unfortunate yet it is true that such campaigns are necessary to arouse spme people to a sense of their responsibility as. citizens in ex,-ercising the simple democratic privilege of the franchise. Even in this supposedly enlightened time, we still hear people who are either indifferent about the matter or unable to decide their preferences. Here in Prince Rupert, for instance, we have three candidates in the approaching election. Surely it cannot be that some are unable or unwilling to make up their minds that, one of those, for some reason or other, must be preferable to the others. Those who fail to cast their preferences are. leaving their decisions to others to, make. "Vote as you like, but vote," is a. slogan which all might heed. Welcome Home... and Into Civilian Clothes Again . ; . We know hovy eager every discharged veteran is to take his place in civilian life again. We speed the process with our well-cut, well-tailored ready-made clothes. They're good quality and good value. "THE MEN'S SHOP" SHIPMENT OF CLOTHES SENT First shipment of clothing collected by Canadian United Allied Clothing drive in Prince Rupert left the city Monday when 1050 pounds of used clothing, destined to alleviate distress In shattered European countries, was packed Into boxes by local workers and sent to. the. collection centre at Walnwrlght,iAlta. The clothing, part of the. 10,-000-pound quota set for Prince Rupert, was. In gpod condition, according, to Mrs. J. A. Teng, chairman of the. local committee. "There were even two fur coats In good, condition among, the, contributions," Mrs. Teng. said. Monday's shipment,. whkh. consisted of 25 cartons,, was sorted, and packed, by the following workers: Mrs. J. A. Ten?. Mrs. .Chris Elkins,, Mrs. H. A. Breen, Mr. 3. A. Teng and Miss Barbara Teng. ...

Editor, bally News: ' Allow me through, the columns of your paper to voice not onlv my opinion but also the opinion of all Canadian citizens of Scandinavian birth as. to the delavs in being allowed to mail parcels containing food, clothing, etc., to Norway. Nationals of France. Belgium and Holland have, been allowed to do so almost since these countries were liberated. Parcels can also be sent from the United .States of America' to. Norway, why not from Canada? Surely It cannot be shlDDlne space, if that may be the ex cuse, of the Government of Canada, as Norwav. nftpr havinir lost half of its merchant, fleet, still has more, ships than these countries, have together. ,, J wish I was allowed to-DUb- lish letters received from relatives at home, telling us about the shortage of clothintr. food. etc., and the general suffering of the people. Then, may be, thp mithnrltlpc wmilrf ti.ob- to, the fact? that. Norwegianna- uonais nave been discriminated against for some reason unknown to us.. At least that Is the way we feel, and it wllltake some explaining on the pari of the. authorities with act to. change that feeling: We have been denied the rigty as Christians not only to heln the Norwegian people but to some of us to relieve the suffering of our own mothers and fathers. Through Scandinavian organ izations in BrlUsh Columbia pressure will be brought to bear on the Government of Canada to ease, or entirely, lift all, restrictions, thereby giving us as individuals' a, chance to buy food and clothing In Canada for shipment, to Nprway. We feel we may not be able to do much alone. In fact it may, not be. Important enough, just simply filed and, overlooked, but with the. backing of other Canadian organlzaUons and everyone Is. Included, we. may at least to some degree succeed. Are we asking too much If we ask for your backing? I thank, you Mr. Editor most sincerely for allowing me this space, may it prove to be, of same, avail. RUDOLPH QLSEN.

TAKES ISSUE Editor, Dally News: I wish to, take Issue with Mr. Pattullo's statement "that the ultimate C.OF. state ownership policy is to make pawns of the people, and that we have had enough of Irksome control" etc. In reply, I will say, from a scientific point of view, this argument Is far-fetched and colored with the wrong background. In order to rule, and strive ior a successful state, government or people, there has. got to be law. Indeed It Is necessary for heads of families and businesses that they should become responsibly disciplined as well as their dependent membership. But the great, difficulty Is to find authr orities who are capable of entreating wisely, honorably and Justly for the good of all concerned within the state, and not only within their selfish family circles. From the callous indifferent example shown from fam ilies of those who rule within authoritative administrations Is It any wonder that society is becoming more and more unruly and out of control? Intelligent thinking people are anxious to establish a government that can and will control wisely, and just ly, under an. organized Canadian Commonwealth Federated peoples: planned economy and so overcome the present politically selfish class enterprise corruption that we are all,sufferln? under and striving against on the one hand and through disunity, aiding and abetting on the other hand. Finally, we do not want licentious uncontrolled freedom of the wrong and Incapable sort. But we do wanj; disciplinary democracy of the honorable and right sort as Is laid down In a constitution from the people, bv the neoDle and for .the people, all for one and one, lor, all. II. L.

Major R. C. H. Durnford D.S.O., padre of the Seaforth Highlanders of Vancouver and "pride of the unit,': which returned home to Vancouver this week-end from overseas prefers tea himself but. favors a remodelling of the liquor laws in the- Interests of temperance. He says he would be "very glad of any method that would make the laws more "reasonable." "We could have no method of liquor control worse than the present, ope," Major Durnford said. Pub System. Fine "I saw the pub system working in Britain and it was fine. Just so long as the government has the power to cancel licenses of people who take advantage of any new law which might be Introduced, I'm in favor of a change that would bring a system like that to B.C. "I don't advocate license. I want temperance but I think we must change bur laws to achieve it. Workingman Is Hit "From what I know of Canada's liquor laws now It's all right for the big shots to have a bottle of wine In their clubs,, but lt'v wrong for the working man to have a drink unless he goes to a beer parlor. "If we made a change we'd probably have to go through a period where people abused the new rules, but eventually It would 'lead to moderation In drinking."
