Mrs. Richardson, who took leadership In raising a public subscription fund to cover expenses for Mr. Meillas' trip, asked that a copy of a letter sent by the director of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind to the local welfare office, more than a year ago, be made available to her. She required a copy of the letter for her own protection, Mrs. Richardson's letter said.

It is rather a phase of a much larger freedom the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear The press claims no rifht which should not belong to every citizen m a democracy, but freedom of the press is an all-important part of this larger freedom, because, under modern conditions, the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the information he need's to Ridge the actions of his ruleri and make up his mind on public issues. Without newspapers, or With only gagged and blindfolded ones, he is in the dark, and helpless An unfettered press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks of a democratic world Ujf any proof be needed, it is provided by the record of the Fascist and Nazi dictaiorships Rigid conirol ot all sources of public information, and especially of newspapers, was the corner-stone upon which those regimes were founded Without it. they could never have held power With it. they coukl do as they pleased, to the eventual rum of their own peoples as well as much of the rest ol the world t city by bus, returning an hour later to the ship ' where they were Hosts to Prince Rupert Shfiners and their wives at a reception.

As a member of the United Nations Security Council, Canada has taken a leading position in World affairs as spokesman for the middle powers. Her "position as the world's third trading nation has given Canada new and grave responsibilities in the prolonged post-war unsettlement. In the formative years of the last century when the pioneers of the far-flung colonies of British North America were attempting to bring unity : and political harmony to their land, it was on the i recommendation of Lord Durham that self-gov-i ernment and legislative union were brought to '. Upper and Lower Canada. But Canadian statesmen of the time had wider ; vision. They dreamed of a great nation stretching ; from sea to sea. Confederation marked the first important step in the fulfillment of that dream. ; In 1870 the province of Manitoba was admitted ; to the union and in 1871 British Columbia came in. la 1373 Prince Edward Island became the seventh i province and in 1905 Alberta and Saskatchewan . werp taken from the Northwest Territories. Meanwhile, the Dominion was gaining new pow-; ers which added to her responsibility as well as her ; independence. In 1879, she obtained the right to ; give preference in tariffs to another cbldny (or .dominion), in 1881 the right of representation when treaties concerning her interests were being discussed, and in 1897 the right to demand that a ". treaty considered inimical to her interests should be repealed. : The Statute of Westminster, 1931, saw the cul- ruination of the strides which Canada had been ; taking toward full, independent nationhood. It de-; fined Canada as one of the "autonomous commu-; nities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate, one to another; in any re- spect of their domestic or external affairs, though ' united by a common allegiance to the crown arid freely associated as members of the British Cdrri- ' monwealth of Nations." As India, Pakistan, and Ceylon assume fuller stature as dominions, Canada's political, economic , and cultural growths serve as an eample and inspiration to her sister nations. and Western Miner Bed Sixth Street A Labor Union says about Communism . . . The following extract from a resolution passed at the Cleveland Convention of the International Tyiographical t'nion was sent under date of .tune 3, 1948, to every meiiiher of the Union in Canada and the United States: ''It is tlie sense of this convention that all true am! lnya! fitiens of our great country must refleot ttie degree of tolerance permitted by the laws of Our country with respect to political philosophies. "It is the sense of this convention that any political ' philosophy containing advocacy of force and violence as a means of its attainment is contrary to our laws. Those using Such methods are subject to punishment by law and they should be prosecuted in the American way. "It Is the judgment of this convention that thoae who now espouse communism as a political philosophy are being led by those who have absorbed the theories and practices of a foreign power which tre contrary to our fundamental concept of freedom and democracy. "Therefore we must tie to those communists who my be In this country and Canada the act! of those who have a government functioning under Communist principles. "tVe cannot accept the philosophy of Communism. We cannot accept as leaders, those who asiociate themselves with Communism as now advocated and practiced. We rely on the democratic principles of ouf country and the good sense of our people to keep these principles alive and functioning." Non-Communist lalor leaders are aware thit under Cornmunistn labor unions lose their power and working people are enslaved by a ruling clique of bureaucrats.
