KiiKaitu. uw n-iwi Europe, the President declares that there can be no let-up in the program of government spending. The I'l-esident thereby admits that war or threat of war makes possible the continuation of boom conditions. Unfortunately, the time is not yet for the. .building up of real peacetime prosperity. Rut ivhat to do about it in the meantime at least is still another question. TO END WAR IN CHINA QUICKEST WAY to end the civil war in THE ' CVina would, of course, be to stop the shipment - tf arms to the country arms from this country to the central government of Chiang-Kai-Shek and from Russia to the Communist rebels. But, as long as Russia is feeding arms to the communists in a continued uprising which the Soviet beyond a doubt is aiding -and abetting, the western world would be remiss in failing to do all it can to aid Chiang. in the defence of his legally constituted regime. Indeed, the United States and the other nations are as fully justified in aiding Chiang as they are in preparing their own defences for the threat of Soviet totaliarianism which becomes more manac- fray ine com, oi me tu. staled. i:ir netlon was taken on a re- RAILWAYS IN POST-WAR Resumption or t lansAUaiilic passenger service between Canada and the United Kingdom by the Empress of Canida. left above, was an important event in 1947.

ABOUT RAIN OF PORTLAND which gets a RESIDENTS mere 41.02 inches of rain annually are lectured on the art of capitalizing on their rainfall by Richard L. Neuberger Oregon feature writer who holds up Ketchikan (annual rainfall 150.89 inches) as a drenched example of community pride, "Ketchikan is proud of its rainy climate because its fishing and. lumbering industries require rain for their very existance," Neuberger says. "The rainfall maintains the myriad of salmon streams, and salmon provide the major source of income in laska." " Acceptance of Ketchikan's dampness extends to all fevnarations. "Jiminee !" exclaimed one boy, about 13, "I'll sure be glad when summer comes and the rain ain't so cold." Portlanders, however, do not accept their liquid blessings so gracefully. When "The City of Roses" endured nine inches of rainfall in one month, last October, complaints about the weather were "as noisy as artillery." Quoting the Ketchikan weather man, a former Portlander, the article says: "If Portland would only develop the same psychology, you'd never hear a peep in Portland about the rain.

Ketchikan accepts the weather philosophically, and that's all there is to it." To the people of Prince Rupert, who last year were washed by 107.95 inches of rain, the same psychology could hold true. Actually, this city's average rainfall is a more 90 inches, which would make it that much easier to develop the same attitude which Ketchikan finds for morale-boosting and profitable. THE FINAL BATTLE BIBLICAL prophets have interpreted CERTAIN from the Scriptures that the last great war of the world will be fought in the Middle East in the very cradle of Christianity. Today Palestine occupies the international spotlight as the focal point of current tenseness. There are to be found today explosive elements in which one does not have to be unduly alarmist to perceive the makings of much more serious complications. And behind the scenes are, doubtless, the influences of potentially warring idealogies which might precipate major conflict. "' It is not inconceivable that another war the 'war to end wars which it seems has not yet been fought may stem from that very quarter but it would seem highly improbable that it could ever be confined there. Armageddon, according to the Revelation of St. John, "the great battle in which the last conflict between good and evil is to be fought," conceivably, might be so extensive, so terrible, so destructive, that it would mean to end of the world, at least in the present conception of civilization. The world mav even today be sowing the seeds of its own destruction. It seems a terrible -"statement but, nevertheless, it is realistic in its possibilities.
