LIFE BUOYS ON BRIDGES
There should be some life saving
equipment available on each bridge
and darn within the town limits where
there is deep water, At present there
is no life buoy or life preserver of any
kind, not even a life belt, handy in case
of need at any of these danger points,
The C. P. R, bridge is a favorite
swimming hole, the water is deep, and
there should be a life buoy there that
could, be thrown to any swimmer get-
ting into difficulties. Boats often pAss
under the Josephine street (McKen-
zie's) bridge, and there should be a
life buoy available at that point.
Swimmers and boats often come
near both the Upper and the Lower
Dam, and these are danger points, so .
there should 'be a life buoy handy at
both places, These four danger points
are strategically spaced so that the life
buoys would be fairly' handy in ease of
trouble, at intertnediate points. The
cost is small compared to the value of
one human life, so these four life buoys
should be made available at once.
PALESTINE
A WORLD. PROBLEM
The rise of the Nazi regime in,Geri
many, the spiritual and moral decay in
Europe since Hitler made his bid for
power, are the origin of the present-day
Palestine problem. The frgua thugs
learned both their desperation and
their terrorist technique in the dark
days when Jews fought the Gestapo
and the Nazi persecutors with what,
ever weapons they could find. Their
degeneracy is an effect of Europe's
intolerable conditions and memories,
and the world must find a solution to
the trouble.
There would be no Palestine crisis,
no furtive sailing of illegal immigrant
ships, no Irgun atrocities and no Tel
Aviv violence if the empty or half-emp-
ty countries had done their duty to the
distressed Jews of Europe and receiv-
ed them as refugees. These Jews are
not very numerous. Of the 11,000,000
Jews in the world, •all that are left
after the Nazi campaigni,of extermiri-
The great majority of these 1,200-
000 would-be-immigrant Jews, if giv-
en free and, informed choice, would
prefer migration to the United States,
Australia, Canada, Brazil, Argentina,
South Africa or some other place with
more room. than Palestine, greater op-
portunities and more seeurity. These
countries have plenty of room to spare
and they could easily give sanctuary
and a new life to every one of Europe's
unhappy Jews without any overcrowd-
ing, The world must either give new
homes to these homeless Jews in free-
dom-loving, democratic countries or
settle the Palestine problem satisfac-
tartly to both the Jews and the Arabs.
The Palestine problem. is a world prob-
lem and the Jews must be given a
home there or elsewhere in the near
future. * *
LABOR GOVERNMENT
TURNING LEFT
The British HoiCie of Commons in
the debate recently on The Supplies and
Services (transitional powers) Bill, has
raised cepcial questions about the dir-
ection,of British policy. By this meas-
ure, which now seems sure to become
law soon, the 'Labor Government oh-
tains authority over men and materials
as sweeping as were, exercised during
the war.
When this new measure becomes law
there will be no limit whatever to the
regulations that can be issued, with
the force of law, prescribing what work
any individual shall do, where he .may
be employed, how Materials shall be
allocated, what goods any factory may
produce and so on. Mr. Winston
Churchill described the Bill as a "blank
cheque for totalitarian GOVerninent."
Many' of the British Sticialists like
Attlee, Bevin, Cripps, and Dalton are
moderate Socialists wo believe in the
supremacy of Parliament and who
would give private enterprise a certain
scope. So, if the British Socialists are
in fact moving toward a • totalitarian
system, then there must be an econ-
omic -;crisis in Britain which would
force any British !Government, right
or left, to take the reins into its own

There is a radical left-wing element in
the Labor Party led by lVlinister of,
Health, Anearin Bevan and Richard
Crossman, who want to speed up the
socializing process, but the Cabinet,
in the present emergency, favors post-
polling nationalization of the steel in-
dustry, Only time will tell whether
these new measures will become Pcr-
manent or if the Labor Party will split
into moderate and extremist wings. •
BRITISH EMIGRATION
WESTWARD -
Britons at the rate of 200 a, day have
been crowding into Rainbow Corner,
the former American servicemen's cen-
ter near Piccadilly Circus, London,
England, to sign up for emigration to
Ontario. From the crowded British
Isles of austerity they look hopefully
Westivard to one of the most promis-
ing of modern lands,
'Some df the sentiments expressed
by the weuld-he 'emigrants were: "I
want to go somewhere where a man
can get ahead," "We've had enough,"
and, "At least I'll be able to satisfy
the children's appetites over there."
Recently 3$ of them flew in a four-
motored American plane from London
to Toronto. They were the advance
contingent of one of the largest air
migrations in history. Within a few
months, at the rate of three flights a
week, 7,000 selected British 'emigrants
will fly to their adopted country.

INDIA AND PAKISTAN
NEW DOMINIONS
• Britain loh her Indian Empire on
Augnat„15th and welcomed the addi-
tion to the British Commonwealth of
the two new Dominions of India and
Pakistan. Canada, the senior Domin-
ion in the British„ Commonwealth,
sends greetings and corikratulatiOns to
the two youngest members. All Can-
adians will wish them peace and pros-
perity, and hope for more friendly re-
lations with them. * •
WEEKLY THOUGHT
The •first step in , getting 'rid of wor-
ry is to identify the thing that's gnaw-
ing at your mind. The second step its
to face that trouble squ‘arely and de-
cide what yoa're going to do about it.
Frustration results from our inability
to make up our minds, We wary be-
cease we can't bring ourselves to do
anything about the cause of our worry:
"Do the thing you fear," says Emerson,
"and the death of fear is certain." * *
