Once again there are people all over he world prophesying that Britain, as a world power, as a great industrial and trading power this time, is going to "take the count." But it is hard to imagine how the English would settle down to becoming a second, third or fourth class power. In Jact, even if it might seem contrary to reason, it n situation that just cannot be accepted. I Nevertheless, the position of Great Britain toll. . :- extremely serious. She has in the past seven su deliberately distorted and unbalanced her economic system. She has suffered the loss and permitted the depreciation of capital resources. he has sold at least half her external capital and gone into debt abroad, all for the purpose of enabling : he country to concentrate its fullest efforts t$on the war.. Today she still has to import more than half her food and most of her materials she jises in industry. The only way she can pay her flcbts and make up for loss of income is by increasing exports and she also has to look to exports for paying for the imports sheneeds. : Meantime, while tho British i 1 iVA4VfwAO (UC WrlCUU , onng m many industries for higher wages and shorter hours, Labor, as a political party and in the responsible position of government, knows there can be no higher standards of living without increased production by the workers and knows also that, if wages rise much more or that if taxes are reduced with the present shortage of goods, the new money in circulation will result in a mad desire to spend and consequent inflation. ! Unfortunately, there is not the inspiration in the economic crisis that there was when the old nation appeared to be on the brink of military disaster, in 1940 when Winston Churchill made his 'blood, toil, tears and sweat" speech. However, Britain has not lost heart, she never loses heart. There is still that obstinate faith in Britons which makes It impossible for them to think of themselves as anything other than a first-class power. That conviction is most deeply rooted, not in the people at the top, but in the common people of the country. When they realize fully, and they must )e nearly doing so now, that their prestige is :hreatened and their capabilities doubted, the eacons will burn again on the English hills and Britain, difficulties, and desperation notwithstanding, will come through. We are singing again "There'll Always be an England." the Red Cross TODAY sees the opening of an appeal across Canada i for $5,000,000 fj5000 In Prince Rupert) lor the Canadian Red Cross Society's peacetime work In the Dominion. The Daily News unhesitatingly supports this most worthy campaign and be-4acaks the generous support ofhls "community for the oause. The people of Canada did a magnificent job in supporting the wartime work of the Bed Cross. It Is appropriate tjiat they should rally to the oause of the peacetime program. j This is a vital campaign, as ii; will set the' scale of Red (Jross work for years to come. We all realize that peace- is ifiore important than war and tiie peacetime work of the Canadian Red Cross will be p more real and lasting value to the people than were our ar activities. Before the war, the Canadian Red cross was engaged orTa program of developing ljmhe services. When hostlli. tjbs came, the Society put Its niajor effort into war work, pie peacetime activities were continued but the expansion Jtlans were deferred. ,The time has now arrived t'2 throw the great organization anti tne war-ripened ex perience or the Canadian Red Cross into peacetime humanitarian undertakings at home here in Canada. ,'As in war, so in peace, the led Cross must carry on. By its work irl peacetime a great contribution can be made to better Canada. Canadian Red Cross home projects Include the operation of a Canada-wide free blood transfusion service for all in need of . life-saving plasma; wainteance and further expansion of the present chain or 54 outpost hospitals and rJurslng stations on the fron tiers of the Dominion, the continuation of an extensive program of aid to veterans, which includes the operation of Lodges at veterans' hospitals across Canada, maintenance of the Red Cross disaster relier organization ahd other projects for the saving of life and the conservation of health in our country. In this very district one of the major Red Cross peacetime undertakings' is about to be established at Terrace in the form of an outpost hospital a 10-bed institution which will serve the district between Prince Rupert and Hazelton, filling a long-felt need at Terrace for local hospitalization facilities. A similar outpost hospital of the Red Cross has been in operation for years at McBride in the Fort George district. IRICH OIL SITE?
