JK LOVltf i lie umieu iNauons, wuu its security council and Palestine commission, has been doings a lot of talking but, with the explosive moment now little more than two weeks removed, disappoointingly little seems to have been done. In fact Lake Success seems to be completely incapable, so far at least, of meeting the situation. The simmering warfare between Arabs and Jews may, indeed, break out into violent and complicating struggle at any moment. Pos.'ibly, Great Britain, which for these many years has been the world's expert in mandates and trusteeships, might yet be able to handle this situation. The thing is, however, that Britain is no longer in a position fiscally or economically to continue the role of the world's conciliator and diplomat. It must have the backing and co-operation of the nations, particularly the United States, which, unfortunately, has been proving so inept in this Palestine difficulty. ' ESCAPE BY ROAD . WHETHER WE MAY travel it or not, almost every citizen of Prince Rupert is interested After summarizing 4h history and the condition of the whole system,. Mr. Kempton concludes: "With about 2,311(1 telephone subscribers, 275 outstanding applications for telephone service, and an already overloaded plant of ancient vintage, the only conclusion that can be arrived at is the complete renewal of the entire inside and outside plant."

We are not giving up the hope yet that the Skeena River Highway between Prince Rupert can and will be maintained as an all-winter road and that it can be successfully handled Vvithout too much outlay by use of suitable snow plowing equipment and, of course, not ice-breakers! SCENIC PRIZE SOME DAY it will dawn on Prince Rupert and the motoring public that at her door is a scenic prize in the way of mountain-river roads not outclassed, i matched anywhere else in .Canada. The shores of the St. Lawrence and the Maritimes, fair indeed, have the Cabot trail. The St. John, the Ottawa, the Saskatchewan, the Eraser, the Peace, the MacKenzie all have lure and charm. The same can be said of the winding Skeena, the austere splendor of the peaks of Hudson's Bay, Rocher de Boule, Seven Sisters and a thousand other unforgettable vistas.

Mr. King has told his followers that, whatever the result of the party convention this Thursday ss. Prince Rupert, August on the Liberal leader- 8 p.m. ship, an election is unlikely. Existing regulations make it illegal for any Canadian resident to retain in his possession more than $10 in United States cash. You are required to turn in to your bank, for exchange into Canadian money, any amount you have in excess of $10 in United States funds, without delay. THERE'S A REASON The reason is that Canada must have the U.S. dollars spent here by tourists, in order to make them available for the payment of imported goods and services needed to keep production and employment at a high level.
