serious
situation
of
the
Allied

in
THE
Korea
has
struck
a
note
of
greatly
increased
alarm
throughout
the
world
these
last
few
days.
The
shock
is
.greater
since
we
had
been
hearing
only
last
Friday
that
General
MacArthur
was
launching
his
final
offensive
and
that
the
Avar
might
be
over
by
Christmas.
It
is
a
situation
which
seems
to
call
for
drastic
new
action.
MacArthur's
statement
yesterday
that
the
crisis
had
got
beyond
the
military
to
the
diplomatic
level
is
taken
to
imply;
that
he
deems
it
necessary
to
receive
authority
from
the
United
Nations
to
carry
the
fight
into
Manchuria
by
bombing
bases
there.
Those
bases
are
the
sanctuary
for
the
Chinese
Communists
whom
it
has
been
proven
now7
beyond
all
doubt
are
actively
in
the
fight
against
the
United
Nations
on
Korean
soil,
thereby
being
in
violation
of
international
lawr
and
themselves
aggressors.
Just
how
far
conflict
would
be
extended
by
the
United
Nations
crossing
the
Manchurian
frontier
is
the
question
that
agitates
the
world.
Should
it
result
in
Soviet
Russia
coming
out
openly,
it
might
well
mean
the
commencement
of
World
War
III
and
the
opening
up
of
a
major
battleground
again
in
Europe
with
no
part
of
the
world
secure
from
the
physical
aspect
of
war
with
all
its
modem
horrors.
It
may
not
be
pleasant
to
talk
this
way
but
yet
it
might
be
regarded
as
realistic
thinking
about
the
gravity
of
the
present
crisis.
.
;
It
is
difficult
not
to
think
that
the
international
situation
is
closer
to
a
showdown
today
than
it
has
been
since
the
tenuous
peace
following
the
last
war
developed
into
the
long-continuing
cold
war.
Meantime,
the
immediately
coming
days
in
the
deliberations
of
the
United
Nations
may
well
determine
the
course
of
events
as
between
large
extension
of
conflict
or
a
definite
about-turn
into
the
path
toward
peace.
So
these
are
anxious
days
indeed.

BONNYCASTLE
REPORT
.
THE
report
of
W.
R.
Bonnycastle,
Vancouver
hydro
engineer
consultant,
encouragingly
suggests
that
the
present
water
supply
system
of
the
city,
barring
unforeseen
circumstances
and
providing
it
is
properly
watched
and
maintained,
should
last
out
for
another
few
years
and
be
able
to
meet
the
requirements
of
a
population
of
17,500
people.
That
is
a
good
deal
better
report
than
might
have
been
expected.
With
breakdowns
and
shortages
of
water
having
been
more
or
less
recurrent
during
the
last
few
years,
one
might
have
thought
the
situation
to
be
a
good
deal
worse
than
Mr.
Bonnycastle
appears
to
believe.
;
We
shall
see
how
it
works
out
and
hope
for
the
best.
Certain
improvements
have
already
been
mado,
of
course,
and'
they
may
obviate
some
of
the
troubles
we
have
been
having.
Mr.
Bonnycastle's
report
notwithstanding,
it
will
not
be
satisfactory
if
those
troubles,
which
we
have
come
to.
know
well
enough,
should
recur.
It
is
a
serious
and
a
nervous
situation
when
the
water
supply
system
goes
dry
as
it
has
done
on
more
than
one
occasion
in
recent
years.
Should
the
city
burn
down
in
one
of
those
crises
of
water
lack,
we
would
be
sorry
that
we
had
not
done
something
about
it.
Everything
has
be-en
thought
of
before,
but
the
difficulty
is
to
think
of
it
again.
