In a review of the present situation as it at‘- fects newspapers Tlie Journal of the Itistittite of Journalists, of which Mr. Stewart Nicllflliflll l5 the editor, has this to sayw “we can see clearly enough some of the problems peace will bring. Foremost of these are the maintenance and the improvement of journalistic standards, the re- lationship between Officialdom and the Press. and the unfettered power of the Press to guide public opinion on all issues of positive value. \Vith victory the public will demand new leader- 5hip_ and it will he the prime function of journal- ism to give leadership fully and freely.

To quote a “Tiuics" coittribtitor: '\\'e shall be citizens of a nation that was never greater, of a commonwealth of nations bound in a unity

forged afresh, of a \vorld-\virle company of free‘

peoples sharing the same faith‘ and \\'ho is sufficient for thcsc things.’ "

As we never miss the water till the well runs dry, so we do not know ho\v much we depend upon the Car Ferry for existence until it dis- appears. Now should anything happen to the Prince Edward we will be on our beam ends, for the old Scotia, while good enough as l. stand- by, could never negotiate the passage in winter.

Inigo Jones, Englislt architect, died this date. i652. He was surveyor-general of royal buildings and designed the banqueting hall at Whitehall. He studied in Italy before commencing the prac- tice of his profession, and made the acquaintance of Ben Jonson for whom he arranged the scen- ery for his forty masques. They afterwards quarrelled, and Jon son satirized him in “Bartholomew Fair."

Otir overseas men are favoured visitors to London. An order in effect during the intensive German air raids on London last Autumn, barring from the city all army men on leave un- less their homes were there has again been re- issued. No officer 0r enlisted man may’ spend his furlough within ten miles of Charing Cross, the center of London, unless he has relatives within this area.

Today concludes one of the most glorious pages in otir Island's history, the Car Ferry dis- aster notwithstanding. Our children's children will look back with pride on the itiagnificeitt re- cord we have made iu receiving and dcspatching the Victory Torch to its destination in the Moth- erland, and our achievements in the matter of men and money to maintain that freedom which we, in turn, have had handed down to us. We have every reason to hold our heads high and look the whole world in the face, for we can truly claim we have endeavoured manfully to do our bit at one of the most critical junctures in this old world's battle-scarred history.
