The war may be over but the peace is not here .and the fighting even is not ended in some of the theatres. If the most of the nations were not crippled they would certainly be fighting still. The front pasres show that the old enmities are still in the world as deep and as bitter as ever and there are hew enmities coming to the fore, unfortunately many within the nations Kemselves. 52 There are the signs of power politics in Europe and Asia as the St&rving millions are shoved about. ItS is but realistic to observe that tjje seeds of another war are being sown. There are menacing omens of further conflict to come. X Meanwhile here among ourselves we are becoming disunited because v$ are allowing our stubbornness to tSn the flames of dispute among us. 35 Even the most humble of us might take stock of ourselves and Sp if we are acting and thinking as; we should. The time is ripe for a moral revulsion. Unemployment Here Again . . . : With lay-offs from war activities 'and the shipyard and with the return of servicemen now at its peak, jPrince Rupert is today not without unemployment. The picture is changing sharply from that which prevailed only a few weeks ago when there .was a shortage of help in almost all .classifications of labor. "Work Want-led" ads, rare enough during the years ;of war, are appearing again in the classified columns of the newspapers. Here in the Daily News office iduring the past day or so two cases came to our attention of young ex-iservicemen who told us Ihey had "trudged the town seeking everywhere for a job but in vain.

ROYAL IMPERIAL ....$ 8.50 $10.00 ....$15.00 were local boys who had enlisted out of school and served three or four years, finding themselves, now that they are discharged, with no particular qualifications but willing and anxious to get a start in civilian life. These are the boys that are going to be the problem and it is their case that we would all do well to interest ourselves in. By and large, they are a good lot of lads, not seeking to throw their weight or emphasize any claim to advantage which they might have through having served in the forces. It is up, we would say, to employers, even if it might upset their well-oiled staffs in some cases, to do everything they can to absorb them. Some employers may be able to use them quite well without impairing efficiency, either by staff additions or replacement. One thing is certain these lads have a claim upon our serious consideration and definite action. There is a duty to them and, if we each and all exert our ingenuity and imagination, much may be done not only towards meeting an unemployment situation which ere long might well become quite serious. Who Cares About Them? . . . We have suggested on more than one occasion that it is high time Prince Rupert was doing something definite now in the way of an official "Welcome Home" to our boys yet. But maybe Prince Rupert, the city which benefitted so much from warprosperity including the presence of the servicemen, does not realize the war is over yet. Certainly, it is difficult to understand the utter lack of appreciation that seems to be so evident. The Daily News has been trying to stir something up along this line. As we have done before, the Daily News again of f ers sucl .facilities ,a we have that would be of assistance in carrying out some sort of a "Welcome Home" demonstration. Nothing finer as a gift for Dad Gift Certificate with miniature hat if desired. "THE MEN'S SHOP" The Seal of Quality BRITISH COLUMBIA'S FINEST SALMON FREE PORT IDEA COMES UP AGAIN Request that the claims of Prince Rupert to suitability of being established as a free port be considered drew two com munications at the regular monthly meeting of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce Monday night. One was from the Minister of Justice stating that the matter had been referred to the proper authorities by whom It would receive due consideration. The other was from the National Harbors Board stating that numerous requests had been received. It invited a brief in sextupllcate setting forth Prince Rupert's claims. The matter was referred to the port committee. Better English By D. C. WILLIAMS 1. What Is wrong with this sentence? "This postage stamp Is no good." 2.
