Immigration Policy . . . A Sensible and practical immigration policy for Canada is expounded, by J. S. McGowan, director of colonization and agriculture, Canadian Rational Railways, a speech by wh'qm before newspaper editors in Montreal is reported in the Daily Newsttfday. Too long now have we been narrow-mindly fearful of some spectre of competition which we conceive might operate in some way to the disadvantage of those of us who are already here if we were to open the gates in a substantial degree to new immigrants. The fact of the matter, and it has been proven in the past, is that Canada has enjoyed its greatest prosperity when the bars to immigration were most highly lifted and our lands were rapidly filling up ' with new population. It made a chain of activity and industry and business all around and everyone benefitted. But there are other aspects to this question of immigration. We have a great, unfilled countiy here a country which has long been envied by the crowded peoples elsewhere in the world some of whom have made efforts .in the great wars to capture our land ..by force. Had they suceed-ed in their aims, they would have used this countiy to better advantage than we have done in the past to better advantage than we seem resolved to do even today. There is somewhat of a moral phase involved too. People of the crowded European nations, starving and oppressed, are seekmer new homes elsewhere. We may not have to admit them all. Indeed, as Mr. McGowan suggests, there should be a measure of selection. But if we are good hosts, we shall probably have good guests who will eventually become part of our national body. As citizens and families we are urged to share 'our housing with those people who have none. Possibly we might think of our nation as a great house which has room and to spare for good people of less fortunate lands who for well justified reasons seek homes in this new world where they would be free to live in liberty and security. Is it not our obligation to share with them, apart from any advantage which we can rely would accrue through putting our country to more full and fitting use? Prince Rupert is the central port for one of the most potentially rich hinterlands in all the world. We have natural wealth that is going to waste for simple lack of development. Rich as it is, this area is one of the most sparcely populated in all the world. Right here we have much to gain from an active immigration policy for this Dominion. With such a meagre population, we can never flourish. It is not just speaking idle words when we say this area needs more population and a more positive national immigration policy. a German trench at Arras.

Von Auron Tells Rotarians of Fifhting Transportation Corps , Classification of United States Army Transportation Corps troops as non-combatant is a bit of an exaggeration to.Lt. Col. C. S. Von Auron, Okinawa veteran, who commanded a port detachment which unloaded supplies and ammunition for the American forces during what was one of the bitterest campaigns of the Pacific war. "Although we were Transportation Corps troops we saw action on Okinawa," he told Prince Rupert Rotary Club members during a speech at their weekly luncheon meeting on Thursday. "For tactical purposes we were charged only with defending ourselves and the Jap had to practice a great deal of Ingeunity to get'hlmself captured." Lieut. Col. Von Auron. who was the thirteenth U.S. officer to arrive at the Prince Rupert sub-port of embarkation early In 1942, and served here for 22 months, landed in Okinawa with the 53rd Port Unit on April 24 of this year, 24 days after the first troops landed. He left Okinawa in October, having served through the whole campaign. "We landed on the south beaches," he said. "We thought that the fighting would be all over by the time we got there but, as we approached the island, we saw more fireworks than you could shake a stick at." The first night they pitched pup tents in a bivouac area three miles inland, directly between two airfields. There were no air raids that night but the second night the Jap planes came over. "We had fox holes by that time and we pulled our helmets down to ourheels and ran for a foxhole," he chuckled. Lieut. Col. Von Auron was sent in command of a detachment to Naha, capital of the island, to land ammunition. Ills men unloaded from ships onto landing craft and hrought It through the narrow harbor entrance under fire. Three men of his company were killed one by sniper's fire and two by falling anti-aircraft fragments. To protect the ammunition camp from infiltration, they set up a machine gun and killed several Japs. The Transportation Corps had 10,000 men on Okinawa handling supplies and ammunition and, when the Japanese surrendered, the Transportation Corps was making preparations to carry supplies for the assault on the homeland, he declared. Lieut. Col. Von Auron said that the Okinawa natives were "the dirtiest that I ever saw In my life. They were used by the Americans to do limited, tasks but were not strong enough to do heavy work. The 53rd port company was organized in Honolulu especially to take part In the Okinawa campaign. Lieut. Col. Von Auron, who Is the husband of the former Crlssle McLeod of Prince Rupert, will remain here on leave until December 27 when he will leave for posting at San Francisco, accompanied by Mrs. Von Auron. Guests at the meeting wljo were welconwd by President James Thompson were Norman Krlstmanson, Alex McLeod, Moncton, N.B., and Rupert POLICE STAGE SHAM MURDERS LONDON, Nov. 30 0) Sham murders are staged dally at the Metropolitan Detective Training School, where carefully selected detectives undergo an eight-week course.

CONSULT YOUR LOCAL DRUGGIST PROBATION - WITH BAfc are proud of this bar of Tadanac brand "A" Grade Zinc. A veteran of two world wars, it once again returns to its place on the "Civvy Street" market as an important provider of peacetime jobs for Canadians. Ninety per cent of the cost of producing this bar is paid to Canadian laboi either directly by us or by firms from whom we buy supplies and services. We are now making around 15,000 of these 50-lb. bars of xinc each day, enough to supply Canada's yearly requirements in a few months. Therefore, if these bars are to be year-round full time Canadian job-makers, three out of every four must be sold outside Canada. The factors that sell metals on the world markets are no different from those that sell foods at the corner store. The buyer looks for the best quality at the lowest price. So our aim today is still better quality, still higher efficiency, still lower costs which means bigger markets, more' jobs and higher living standards the normal course of free enterprise. This aim can only be attained if Labor, Management and Government co-operate to the fullest extent, constantly keeping in mind that Canada's prosperity and the prosperity of each one of us depends on the )ale of Canadian goods on the world markets.
