MAXWELL, chief of development, Canadian National Railways-, who we know has long had the situation in Prince Rupert at his finger tips, has made another speech in the East stressing the importance of the Skeena area in the industrial and defence picture of the great northwest of British Columbia. ; This time Mr. Maxwell expressed the opinion that the Kitimat fjord and the Skeena estuary constitute an important key to the northwestern defence of the continent. It is satisfactory to have a man in an important key position like that of Mr. Maxwell recognizing this area, in this way and not only recognizing it hut 'publicizing it, in his speeches before important bodies. ' , Incidentally, while we have interviewed Mr. Maxwell in the railway head offices in Montreal, we' do not remember that he has been out our w'ay of late. It might be an appropriate gesture if he could be invited to come out here to Prince Rupert to let us see and hear him for he seems to be a real good friend of ours with an appreciation of our position in the overall scheme of things. At least, he has been making some admissions about us which is more than some of the other railway people have done. Printed Word Ready DURING World War II the printed word was recognized as essential to the offensive program of fgihting democracies. It was an indispensable builder of morale. It played an essential part in the implementing of the war effort. If the worst should happen again, if a showdown should-become necessary, the printed word will not be found wanting in Talue as a force for the preservation of freedom. Indeed, it goes on today in anxious and critical times doing a vital job of defence often taken too much for granted. Sympathy For Labor By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press stuff Writer LONDON (CP) A Conservative plan to hound the Labor government until its members are "absolutely hysterical" appears to have antagonized mod irate opinion.
