The Daily News . . . Daily Edition: Saturday, January G, 1945 Temptations of the Press . . . The press is subject to certain temptations which it is necessary to recognize. A newspaper exists by making itself attractive to its readers and by-"providing news that interests - them. And we cannot ignore the fact that war makes better news than peace, destruction better news than construction, antagonism better news than harmony. As a consequence a newspaper is naturally tempted to give more prominence to things which are going wrong than to things which are going right,, This is a temptation which must be resisted not, of course, to a point of the supression or distortion of news to which the public is entitled, but to .the studied avoidance of the inflamm'ation of public opinion, and with the constant and resolute aim of damping down suspicions and antagonisms rather 'than fostering them. To make a sensation out of in-f lamatory speeches or provocative acts they must not be made sensational because that simply makes a bad business worse; that way comes disaster. Nevertheless, the public demands the news. CCF Waning? . . . The CCF talks of soon taking oyer the government of British Colifmbia, but in the recent municipal elections in the largest city of, that .province it failed to elect a single candidate for the city council or school board, observes the Winnipeg Free Press.

With three contestants for the mayoralty the CCF candidate was a close second, but he had onlv 11,711 votes out of a total of 34,7S:j The failure of the party in Vancouver was similar to that in Edmonton and other places. In Winnipeg their mayoralty candidate met with overwhelming defeat and they also lost a seat in council. The CCF should be pretty- weir convinced by this time that it is not wanted as a political party in the municipal field. Its frequently impractical proposals and lack of a sense of financial responsibility also help to account for its rejection by tlie municipal electors. One of Many Vexed Problems . . . Russia has granted official recognition to the Lublin Polish government as against the exiled regime in London. But. the United States and Great Britain still back the London Polish group, thus bringing to the fore the first sharp cleavage in United Nations policy. This is but one of many vexed problems which make highly important the forthcoming Big Three Conference between Prime Minister Winston Chur-chill.of Great Britain, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, of United States, and Premier Joseph Stalin of Russia. The conference promises to be an epochal cvenUn world' diplomacy effecting the conclusion of the war and commencement of the peace.

The policy of the Canadian Medical Corps is to bring hospitals as far forward as operations permit.' Casualty clearing stations, where nurses also serve, nre usually three or four "miles behind the front where often shells from Canadian artillery behind them whizz overhead. Nurses are not the only Canadian women serving in France, Belgium and Holland. With each Canadian General Hoepitai goes several girls of the Canadian Red Crops to act as welfare officers,, to write letters for the men, provide them with reading material and cigarettes, and to take hot tea round the wards.
