The people had the authority to vote a party into power or to reverse their opinions and vote it out, without resort to violence. We are sometimes asked to believe that the communist party has been equally responsive to tbe public will. Did not Italy defeat the party at t,he polls? That is true, to a point. It is true while people remain conscious of the threat, and use their freedom to defeat it. It is true, in a measure, where the party has not achieved power. There it ceases to be true. The threat lies in those forces that weaken the will to resist, the growing sense of insecurity, the growing eagerness to have the State assume responsibilities that once were personal, the political chaos that moves people to question the effectiveness of democratic controls. Hitler was the answer to German's ineffective gamble with National Socialism. Mussolini sprang from the discontent and disunion of Italy. -Tito from the warring elements of Jugoslavia, Klement Gottwald from the open communistic treachery in Czechoslovakia. Everywhere democracy had failed to establish its case. It failed because of divided counsels; the belief that remedies could be achieved without effort . and co-operation. :r - It failed because people did not really believe in it nd because they were readv to take a rhanp Previous to Sunday.

To try and convince strangers bound for Prince Rupert that' to venture any ruxther west than Cariboo may invite dis- comfort if not near disaster is a mischievous and mystifying business.

Aaiended a motion from the previous meeting or council to permit the extension of a black-topped wooden sidewalk from Third Avenue northward alone McBride Street as far as prac- ticable.

Alderman Casey considered that the idea "had merit." "I don"t know whether or not it could be converted into a city building but, if it can be pro- cured fpr $5,000, we should at least consider whether or not it would be suitable for our re quirements," he declared.

CHIMING BOWLS AND NEW SHOCKS ' A nest of pyrex mixing bowls are very handy things around a kitchen and at least one housewife has found them to be especially sensitive to earth tremors. The bowls gave tingling recognition to at least half a dozen light I shocks during the 12-hu.r pertod following the main tremor Sunday night. This I morning at about 7:30 the kitchenware was heard chiming I faintly and almost immediately I the house trembled. i At 12:45 p.m. the bowls went, I into their act again and now the lady is wondering if it wouldn't be easier on the nerves just to . disperse the bowls and let the tremors go unrecorded. The eggs of the tinamou, a South African bird, are so shiny that the Indians often use them as mirrors. SAVOY ! 110 III ! W. L. WOODS, Prop, i PHONE 37 P.O.

So communism marched to power, because minorities knew what they wanted, and because majorities were ready to accept prepared answers rather than figure things out for themselves. Then it was too late to look back, and to change opinions as they could have y.-pfm changed under a democracy. There is no pro-... vision for change in a totalitarian regime. It can come only by way of revolution. There the press " "is bridled and cannot tell the truth if it would. There the free interchange of thought is forbidden. There is no place for more than one viewpoint, the viewpoint of authority. There is but one authority and the concentration camp awaits those who show any sign of protest. There are some who would argue that perhaps communism, or one of the beliefs that offer an easy approach to it, might be worth a trial. Let them remember the billboards of Germany. ' iThire is no second choice. Communism, like death, ris so permanent. "geographical articles THE AUGUST ISSUE of the Canadian Geogra-:;.-r. phical Journal is of particular interest to resi- - dents of this district. There is a splendid article on .' the Queen Charlotte Islands. The writing is by Lyn '..-Harrington and the photography by her husband, r. Richard Harrington. The cover subject "A Peace-CT LUJ Haven South of Cumshewa Inlet" is a very pic- turesque view. There are many fine photographs - illustrating the article. The spelling of Masset with '21 "t s'" noweverf is incorrect Of equal interest is an article entitled 'The Skeena River Salmon Investigation." This article . is by Dr. A. L. Pritchard, Director of Fish Culture in the Dominion Department of Fisheries. As could be expected it is very informative and, of course, authoritative. The illustrations are varied and very well chosen and a map of the tributaries of the Skeena has very fine detail. The "counting fence," a device used to check the number of salmon that pass through the Babine River on their way to the spawning grounds, is not generally known by the public.
