THE
MOSCOW
CONFERENCE
is
ovefr
and
the
I
best
that
can
be
said
of
the
outcome
is
that
there
was
agreement
on
disagreement
for
the
time
being
at
least.
Possibly
Moscow
can
be
accepted
as
one
of
the
unpleasant
ordeals
that
had
to
be
gone
through
to
pave
the
way
for
better
understandings
that
may
be"
yet
to
come.
If
nothing
else
was
accomplished,
points
of
view,
no
matter
how
deep
the
Ifulfs
between
them
now
may
seem,
were
exchanged.
While
some
of
the
parties
may
have
been
obdurate
against
making
concessions,
there
can
be
no
doubt
that
in
the
minds
of
all
it
was
accepted
that
there
must
be
compromises,
and
some
very
material
'ones,
if
there
is
to
be
ultimate
peace.
2v
Moscow
made
it
clear
that
even
today
there
is
$x
type
of
Warfare
on,
conflict
between
political
philosophies
if
not
between
nations,
efforts
to
obtain
power
and
control.
"But
if
Moscow
-showed
that
there
is
that
type
of
warfare,
it
gave
no
indication
that
the
most
obstinate,
the
most
disagreeable
of
,
the
elements
want
or
intend
to
start
a
-lighting
war.
Therein
lies
the
nope
that,
w"hile
Moscow'
held
out
little
encouragement
on
the
surface,
it
was
not
barren
ground
for
the
sowing
of
seeds
of
ultimate
settlement
of
vexed
problems.
At
"?ieas't

ministers
and

representatives
during
the
"week
have
had
the
opportunity
of
thoroughly
in-vestigating
the
road
situation
between
here
-and
Terrace
and
are
now
in
a
position
to
pass
some
;
opinions.
The
road
is
"passable,
and
we
would
not
;
'wish
to
say
more
than
that
Tor
it,
between
Prince
Rupert
and
the
big
slide
at
TCwinitsa.
The
same
might
have
been
said
from
"Terrace
to
the
slide
by
""now
after
an
enormous

had
it

ten
days
I
ago.
"However,
that

and,
J'
within

should
be
possible
to

As
for

of

and
the
machinery
of
the
department
under
I
a
mass
of
snow
which
they
say
is
still
in
danger
of
tailing.
These
are
the
onicials
who
would
have
to
accept
the
blame
if
anything
untoward
should
happen.
Even
the
most
ardent
of
motorists
would
not
wish
that
such
risks
should
"be
taken
for
the
sake
of
adding
a
'few
extra
days
to
the
motoring
season.

sidiary
organization
has
made
application
for
1
a
motor
trucking
franchise
over
the
hiehwav
between
here
and
Burns
Lake.
The
"Chamber
of
Commerce
has
properly
-enough
decided
that
assurances"
should
be
given,
in
the
granting
of
any

regular
and
efficient
service
m
;
conjunction
with
the
railway
or
otherwise.
It
also
'
is
quite
fittingly
asking
that
a
hearing
on
the
ap-
plication
should
be
held
locally
instead
of
or
in
-ad-;
dition
to
Vancouver
since
the
proposed
service
is
;
essentially
one
of
concern
to
this
district,
j
We
are
more
interested
here
in
making
certain
that
a
good
-and
'permanent
service
is
given
rather
;
than
Avho
should
give
such
-service,
providing
al-
ways,

that
the
franchise
would
not
be
;
granted

would

GRANDSTANb
NEEDED
TH&
PRINCE
RUPERT
Baseball
Association
does
well
to
institute
a
campaign
with
a
view
to
having
Roosevelt
Park,
centre
of
Prince
"Rupert's
major
outdoor
sports
activities,
equipped
with
a
proper
.grandstand.
The
idea
is
one
to
which
we
have
no
hesitation
in
subscribing.
The
grandstand
is
necessary
for
the
comfort
and
convenience
of
the
thousands
of
local
sports
fans
who
watch
baseball,
football,
.softball
and
other
games.
What
is
possibly
as
important,
its
lack
does
not
make
very
favorable
impressions
for
:
an
equal
number
of
visitors
who
attend
these
games
eacn
year.
Last
year
jPrince
Rupert
solemnly
dedicated
Roosevelt
Park.
At
that
time
this
newspaper
pointed
out
that
there
was
a
responsibility
implied
in
keeping
the
.park
a
credit
to
the
city.
At
the
outset,
it
was
considerable
of
a
publicity
stunt.
If
it
is
not
maintained
properly
now,
it
can
be
the
source
of
as
much
unfavorable
publicity
as
favorable.
?
The
providing
of
the
park
with
a
good
-grandstand
is
one
of
the
improvements
that
might
be
considered
most
worthy.
Any
campaign
along
these
lines
would
be
deserving
of
general
support.
