One night, a .blast, from a flying bomb took off the NeW World statue's outstretched arm afoove the elbow. It will never get the torch now, for it has been decided that the lost arm Is an honorable wound," said R. D. . P- (!c, managing director of the building.

THE OLD SUBJECT of British Columbia's I Ability to carry on industrial activity and at the same time maintain a higher overhead structure through wages and standards in excess ol those of eastern provinces against which she is forced to. compete is raised in the Legislature by Airi Marshal Leigh Stevenson, the Progressive-Conservative member for Vancouver-Point Grey. - The comment of Air Marshal Stevenson smacked .very much of the idea that British Columbia Tnlards must oe held down if there was not to ix y?vy serious loss of industry by this province to the East. It is obvious enough that, when competition becomes keen and it is heading in that direction now, industries will be forced to cut their production costs and moving from the high costs of British Gofulnbia to such provinces as Ontario and Que-becSvith their, sweat shop tendencies, may be the resprt of .some of them. j rhe ideal, of course, is not to force British Col-umlia to lower her standards or take the conse-quees but to raise the standards of the East. The saw? theory then projects itself then into the international field the raising of the standards of all ihe peoples of the world rather than the dropping of the high standards to meet the low ones, a policy by which, in the ultimate, there is no hone for-the improvement of man in any phase of his existence. There will be agreement with Air Marshal Stevenson that labor leaders may not be "leading up the garden path" by being too precipitate with their demands under present conditions but there nw.bt also be sympathy with those sincere and conscientious leaders who strive reasonably and patently for a gradual betterment of conditions for7 common men and women compatible with the realistic situation of the day. . 'British Columbia's prosperity, in the long range view, cannot rest on a foundation of lower living and working conditions to meet similar conditions in other parts of Canada or the world. Along that way lies; an equally thorny path of cruel competition and exploitation., jit 13 all a very difficult problem and changing conditions do not make it the easier. It is the prob-lenf of finding and agreeing uponi . the road to Utfepia.
