The occupation of Japan has com- menced and the treacherous little yel- jow people wno, wun cunning ana i. conceit, attempted to gam world power by force unscrupulously ap " plied are now tasting the bitter pill , of ignominous defeat. Fortunate are . ,, they that their conquerora are a. fair and just people, inclined, possibly unduly, to mercy and compassion. The Japanese character may be such that wounding of pride consti-..tutes a greater hurt than would injury in a more physical sense. How-,f.r,e,v;er we cannot but help thinking at thi,time that, even with the sternest '-measures which occupation may hold :-;i.-Q' them, they will get off much more lightly than had the shoe been, on the other foot and we were the. occupied rather than the. occupiers.

Election results were never more difficult to predict than they are today but it would seem reasonable to suggest that there is no good reason why the coalition should not be supported even if there has been a tide toward a more leftist tendency, particularly in this province. The Hart government has at least left little in the way of definite targets for its opponents to shoot at in the impending battle for ballots. Getting Together . . . With business and labor interests joining forces toward the furthering of the interests of this community, a gratifying meeting was held in the city hall last night, the outcome of which will probably be the sending of a representative delegation to Ottawa to advocate practical measures along broad lines designed to insure employment and prosperity in the post-war days. It is to be hoped that the start now made will be continued and a real spirit of community interest developed. Too long have certain interests worked at cross-purposes rather than uniting for mutual benefit. Getting together in the way they did last night must needs be lead to better understanding through which real co-operation in working for the common good may-be engendered. gratifying to see a movement started out to promote of two coasting vessels a limited further utilization local dry dock developing broader and more lasting endeavour.

WHY SHIPS SHOULD DC BUILT HERE (Continued from Page One) posal of the type or purpose of the ships desired, we have a feasible and practical solution of the Immediate problem. There are approximately 500 families and another 500 single workers directly dependent on the shipyard here being maintained; The majority of these people have come to Prince. Rupert since the beginning of the war and in all probability will make their permanent homes In this city. Our merchants and business, a city of 12,000 people, are dependent on the business created by these employees. "This being .a government-owned shipyard and the fact that the Canadian National Steamships need replacements for the present coastal ships that have been In service 35 years and Inasmuch as the Dry Dock is well equipped to build this type of vessel, we as Canadian citizens expect, that every effort be made at once to have these ships built in Prince Rupert beginning 1946. "We appreciate the position of our Government at this time but will never tolerate a situation in Prince Rupert similar. to what prevailed before, this war while we have a first class shipyard and well qualified mechanics to operate same, and a crying need for up-to-date vessels for our coastal service. Some of the arguments which may be advanced against building these ships, may be as follows: Lack of skilled mechanics. Distance from source of materials necessary, steel, etc. Cost of production as compared with Brltih shipyards. Ship not required at present. Skilled Mechanics Aie Not Lacking First let us deal with the arguments regarding skilled mechanics. We have workmen in this yard who have had 20 to 35 years experience In British Yards and 95 percent of our present employees have, from two to five years experience, building ships In Prince Rupert. Records will show, that the type of vessel we, have, built met with favorable comment from Wartime Merchant shipping, a crown company none too extravagant with compliments to anyone at any time. "Regarding steel deliveries and distances we have built 4 cor vettes and 13 10,0C0-ton freighters from 1941-1945. besides repairing upwards of 1000 ships of all types and at no time did the distance from the steel mills have any effect "on our pro duction. All charges for hauling steel will be paid to the C.N.R. who themselves will own the ships and benefit dlrecUy from their operation. We suggest that the return over cost of hauling this' steel be used as a credit in favor of our proposal. "As for added cost of produc tion figures available before the war show that there is a spread of .34 percent between the cost of building in Britain and building in Canada. Out side of the Importance of Cana dian ships built In Canada by Canadians it is naturally assumed that the estimates quoted are based on a margin of profit. There Is no need of considering a profit In constructing these vessels.. Any financial surpluses can be derived from the increased traffic made possible with the use of these ships. We have an investment of $3,000,000 in our government-owned ship yard and the fact that we will be conserving this investment by its use Instead of letting It go to ruin in Itself will more than offset the Increased cost of building In Canada. Another factor is we have 500 Wartime Houses built here since 1941 and managed by Wartime Housing. These homes cost ap proximately $3,000 each. Surely If they are rented for a fur ther period the rents will be used to lessen the financial loss entailed In the construction, of these homes. Further the C.N.R. have for a long time advertised the famed "Triangle Tour" which Includes the water Journey from Vancouver to Prince Rupert. Part of the added cost could be shared by the railroad as all will benefit by. the Increased traffic which new and up-to-date ships win bring. New Ships Are Itadly Needed "The argument that these ships are not required at present win not stand up under close scrutiny. Aiier 35 years no matter what condition the hull might be in, the, fact remains, that the comfortable travel of this day and aee is not available' in these ships and in close com petition tney could only depend on' carrying the surplus tourist traffic 'available after the other ships had been booked up. The argument may be advanced that some of the machinery in Prince Rupert Dry Dock is obsolete and so adds to the cost of construction. This could readily be overcome if the Dominion goverfTment had a survey made, of the machinery in the dry dock with the view of bringing it up to date by transferring any machinery that may be suitable from government owned eastern shipyards that newspaper reports claim are to be closed down. "In structure the plant Is all that can be desired, having a ship shed with cantilever roof and two overhead cranes that are second to none, on the Pacific Coast along with other buildings that would fit into. any post-war construction plan. "It Is essential that some statement of feeling be given by the government regarding the future work program of their plant here. Otherwise the' best mechanics among our employees will seek work elsewhere. We feel that a statement of feeling su;h as a guarantee that all C.N.R. new and repair work would be done at Prince Rupert would have the desired effect ot encouraging employees to make their permanent residence here. "There has been no section of the dry dock's pontoons out of the water for repairs during the war. In previous years one.or two sections were lifted for repairs each year. A big repair job is pending on them and should be undertaken in the near future. "In connection with the dry dock there are at present seven unoccupied staff houses capable of accommodating 900 single men, also two up to date commissaries to cater to them. "You will readily understand that chaos will be created if the occupants of 500 houses have to move into over-crowded cities during the month of January. "The late Sir Wilfred Laurier, speaking in Prince Rupert in 1910, emphasized the fact that the object in building the Grand Trunk Pacific line was to roll the map of Canada northward '1000 miles and this is as true today as it was in 1910. The dry dock and shipyard is part of that development and should be utilized in some, form or other as a rehabilitation scheme."

TRIBUTE TO CLIFT FORD Tribute Paid by English Newspaper to Man Who Bequeathed Local Holdings to City The late Clifc Ford, who recently bequeathed two business blocks to the city, the revenue from which is to be used for the relief of Prince Rupert ex-service men and their families, will be remembered by people of Eastbourne, England for' his outstanding services to sick and suffering humanity as chairman of the Princess Alice Hospital in that centre. The Eastbourne Gazette says: "His was a dynamic and dom- inant personality of the all-too-rare type which sees the goal ahead and presses forward to It regardless of difficulties and obstacles, and his abundant energy was well expressed in his staccato style of speech." Mr. Ford was a Devonian. He was born at Plymouth in 1867 and educated there. He went to London before he was 20 years old and retired from business in 1910. Subsequently he paid three separate visits to Canada and the United States, travelling extensively in those countries. In 1915, he undertook Important government war work, and when that came to an end he took up residence at Eastbourne, a town for which, he had conceived a great affection as a result of many visits. Said Canon.F. A. Corbett, rural dean and vicar of St. Phillip's Church, paying tribute to the late Mr. Ford at a memorial service in Eastbourne; "He loved his fellow-men. He was no sentimentalist but he had a sincere desire lor the welfare Vf .other folk, especially for those who were not blessed with this world's goods." RHODESIAM INDUSTRY LUSAKA, Northern Rhodesia, A development worthy of further investigation is the production ot eucalyptus oil for use In the flotation process of copper extraction as a substitute for imported pine oils. The development of this indi.try would provide employment for Africans in an area where at present production of cash crops Is impracticable.
